The group is made up of three lead singers, Liz McClarnon, Natasha Hamilton, and Jenny Frost with their backup band, The Phat Cats. I hadn't heard of them previous to watching the dvd and I think that helped my objectivity in reviewing the dvd. The body of the feature was a concert from April 2002 at Belfast's Waterfront Theatre. The songs were a mix of covers, from Eternal Flame, to Kids In America, to Dancing In The Street to some material penned just for them. They were generic enough that anyone under 15 years old should like them (girls for the hero worship aspect and guys because they're cute). The material was fluff-pop with no real social relevance, just the mindless droning of the over-produced music designed to appeal to a wide youthful audience. Here are the songs in the play list:

Right Now
Turn Me On
Eternal Flame
Tomorrow And Tonight
Hippie
Get Real
Strangers
Cradle
You Are
Follow Me
It's Ok
See Ya
I Want Your Love
Kids In America
Bye Now
Whole Again
Dancing In the Street

Objectively, the dancing was not as well choreographed as most of the bigger name acts on tour and the music itself reminded me how much better the original versions of the songs were (Blondie-in the video, Kim Wilde, and The Bangles). The trio was a step or two above elevator versions of the classics involved but that doesn't say much. The girls pranced around enough in their skintight outfits (eye candy is a big plus for me) to make male viewers happy but the show was definitely tame enough to allow children to watch (unlike Kylie's concert from the same time period).

The technical aspects of the show were good enough to satisfy fans and the extras were better than many similar concerts but the toughest part of rating this one revolves around the overall content. Fans are going to consider this a must-have classic while most of the rest of us, myself included, are going to think of it as a Skip It. I doubt that I could watch this one again unless the sound was turned off. I'm a fan of generic, over-produced pop music but this was more sugar than I cared to hear in a single setting.

Picture: The picture was presented in 1.85:1 ratio widescreen color. The concert itself looked okay with minimal grain and video noise but the camera angles and movement seemed to cause the performers to blur a bit at times. The transfer seemed otherwise solid with accurate fleshtones.

Sound: The audio was presented with a choice of either a Dolby Digital 5.1 or 2.0 English track or a 5.1 DTS track. The vocals were clear, perhaps too clear, in the enhanced tracks with some decent separation between the channels.

Extras: The best extra was the behind the scenes featurette, The Kitten Diaries. This was a look at the group while they prepared for their first tour. Some of the anxiety and pressure was evident on the participants and I found it more fun to watch than the concert itself. The other extras included the videos for the group's cover of Blondie's The Tide Is High and their hit It's Ok! There was also a paper insert that listed the songs and repeated the text from the back dvd cover.

Final Thoughts: All music is an acquired taste and I don't want to sound like I'm bagging on this group too much but if you're not a fan of their work, you'll want to listen to a song or two online before dropping cash on this one. The dvd was pretty good for the fans of the group but not for anyone else. I suggest you skip this one unless you're already an established fan.
