"This single is great to buy if you are a lover of pop music! Like Nsync, these boys focus on dancing along with their catchy tunes. You can see that when you buy the single and pop it into your computer to see their music video to the song. Made of 5 boys all hailing from the NY area, this boyband is sure to make it big among the younger teens. Unlike Nsync and the Backstreet Boys, these boys are actually the age of boys and can legally qualify still as boys! You have Chris Trousdale (16, Manhattan), Greg Raposo (16, Long Island), Jesse McCartney (14, Weschester), Frankie Galasso (16, the Bronx) and Matt Ballinger (16, Weschester). All boys have had some experience in the music/acting field, such as being on Broadway, helping in charity events or acting on a movie and soap opera! Make sure to buy this awesome single, and buy their debut CD titled Dream Street when it comes out on July 10th! Be sure to check them out on tour this summer for promotion of their long awaited CD!"
Dream Street

"Dream Street is a "new" boy band from NY. They are, Christopher Trousdale(16), Frankie Galasso(16), Greg Raposo(16), Matt Ballinger(16),and Jesse McCartney(14). Their 1st self-titled cd, "Dream Street" has been "gold" on the charts. The first week the cd came out, they sold 32,000 cd's. They got the name "Dream Street", from the broadway called "Street of Dreams", so they put it together and got Dream Street. Dream Street has performed on the Pokemon 2000 tv special singing "They Don't Understand". They also sang on the soundtrack of Little Vampire with "Let's Get Funky Tonite" Alot of teen girls, including me, think that the boys are handsome and cute. I gave them 5 stars because they have great singing voices, and great talent. Dream Street has performed at the America's Junior Miss. Jesse McCartney was is the soap operah, "All My Children", he has been recast and "aged" so he no longer acts on AMC. The songs on the cd are very good. I love all of the songs. I mostly like their 1st hit single, "it happens every time", and their next single, "I Say Yeah". Well, that's all for my review, and if you haven't bought their cd, go buy it, and check it out! (Plus, they are really hott, and they will make you melt!! That's what they did to me!! :) )"
Sure to be a hit--by a TRUE boy band

"Dream Street (only ages 14-16!) display their incredible vocal abilities extremely well in the song "It Happens Every Time." The song is catchy and fun to sing along to...and hey, it helps that the faces smiling back at you from the cover are adorable. The single is a definite must buy!..."

"These guys are bustling with talent, good looks, and amazing personalities. Unlike every other boy band, they are actually under the age of 20, and needless to say, have alot more talent than the rest. All of them, Chris, Frankie, Greg, Jesse, and Matt, have previous experience on Broadway, which definitely tells you something: they have musical talent. Some people argue that they have no vocal capabilities, what a joke! You should hear these guys, they are great. And now, their voices are even better as they have matured. A few people would say they look like they're 2, umm...no, if they did, they still were hot, and now are even better looking. They have alot going for them, they are triple threats and other bands should watch out. Dream Street is going to blow up soon, and I can promise you that. This cd single is great, it has the "It Happens Every Time" track, which is a very good song on it. Every time you hear this song, you'll want to sing along! And then there's the medley that contains a few of the other songs off their album, which is good. If you're still undecided on whether to get the album, I'd say, spring for the single first, be amazed by their voices, then go the whole way and but the cd. Both are totally worth it and you will be impressed with the guys's flair and talent. They haven't written their own songs yet, but on the next album, they will have some of their work on it, so please, to the haters, don't be so mean. Give these guys a chance, they deserve it, and really are great. And they are the greatest guys too, I love them to pieces. I promise everyone that you'll fall in love with not only their music, but the boys themselves. Don't be fooled by others that have nothing nice to say, they are just jealous that they don't have the courage to go up and perform in front of hundreds of people at such a young age and do everything that Dream Street has accomplished already, at such tender ages. Dream Street is a genuinely talented group, and you will see that, just buy their cds!"
Best new Boy Band on the block.

"It seems these days that people either listen to all mainstream Pop or Hard Metal and despise Pop. But now there's a new fresh talent on the Boy Band market called Dream Street. "It Happens Every Time" is their first hit single and still going strong on the Pop charts. Will Dream Street make Hard Metal fans think differently about Pop? Probably not, but Pop lovers will surly love this new Boy Band! Sure, they are just another Boy Band "creation" (as some people will call it), but they are a lot different and have their own style. And get this - they weren't even created by Boy Band master, Lou Pearlman!Anyways, getting back to the group, yes they are a little young. But they are a real Boy Band because while most Boy Bands are like, in their twenties, Dream Street's ages range from 14 to 16. They are all from New York, and they all have their own talents. This song, "It Happens Every Time", is really great. But here is what you get on this CD-Single:1.) "It Happens Every Time" - - the full, album-version of the song. It's very catchy and upbeat, with likeable, fun lyrics and amazing vocals and harmonies. This is the song which I first heard from Dream Street and made me first start to like them. Greg, Frankie, and Jesse are the lead vocals on this song.2.) "Sugar Rush" (snipet) - - this song may sound a little like the A*Teen's song by the same title. But this was first Dream Street's song. It's a mid-uptempo with good lyrics and great vocals. Greg, Matt, Frankie, Chris, and Jesse all have lead vocals on this song.3.) "I Say Yeah" (snipet) - - a fun song which truly shows their vocal talent. I like the lyrics and beat a lot, too. Very uptempo and upbeat. All the guys are the lead vocals on this song.4.) "Feel The Rain" (snipet) - - I absolutely LOVE this song! It's got a haunting feel to it. The lyrics are awesome and so are Dream Street's vocals. Definitely the best snipet on this whole CD! Lead vocals are by Chris and Greg.5.) "Let's Get Funky Tonight" (snipet) - - this is very catchy with and very uptempo and upbeat. This is a very cool song with good strong lyrics and vocals. Lead vocals on this song are done by Jesse and Matt.**Bonus - - the bonus addition to this CD-Single of course, is the music video for "It Happens Every Time". I don't know if it really works or not because I tried to get the music video on but I couldn't do it for some reason. Oh well, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Luckily though, I've already seen the music video and it's totally awesome! Dream Street has excellent dancing skills.As you can tell, Dream Street's group members are Greg, Matt, Frankie, Jesse, and Chris. Besides having incredible vocal talent and choreography, they are all incredible actors, as well! All five are Broadway veterans and have also starred in films and on TV. Don't under estimate this group by just brushing them aside saying they are "just another Boy Band that will not last". I think they will have a great, long career as Dream Street. I am looking forward to more music by Dream Street. They could end up being the next Backstreet Boys!"
