Hi-5 Blogger Event

A few hours ago, I had the pleasure of meeting 5 energetic Australian performers — Casey, Tim, Lauren, Stevie and Fil-Aussie Fely — otherwise known as Hi-5. And, unexpectedly, I can now truly say that I am a fan.

Vibrant, bubbly, lively, vigorous and colorfully dressed are some adjectives you could use to describe the quintet… but that would be an understatement. As through the course of the informal interview, we got to know them as a group and quickly realized that their energy is simply overflowing and infectious. Tim mentioned that they feed off the energy of the crowds they perform for… but on this evening, it was on reverse, and I witnessed what made these five performers appealing to toddlers, young ones and kids of all ages — their zest for life.

Of course, we got to know a bit about each member individually, and what they bring to the show and how they interact with the kids. It was kind of fun, actually, finding out how each member perceived the others. For instance, Tim (Pilars favorite) is seen as the high energy guy. Lauren is the girl that just wants to hug everybody. And through the course of the night, we got to know a little more about each member. And I became a fan.

As an added treat, the quintet ended the evening with one of their more popular songs, Happy Monster.

Sadly, their concert won’t be until this November. But until that day comes, at least we can still catch them on tv (Nick Jr. 8:30am and 12:30pm on weekdays).
