Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

A Year in the Life of charts the incredible rise of British boy band Blue. Hitting the UK Top Five for the first time in May 2001, Antony, Duncan, Simon and Lee followed "All Rise" with two UK No. 1 singles ("Too Close" and "If You Come Back"). From the signing of their record deal to their first visit to Australasia, this "access all areas" release documents the guys' gruelling schedule.

Keen at first to highlight the authenticity of Blue in comparison to other more manufactured boy bands, the feature instead unintentionally exposes how superficial their success is; owing just as much to PR and image management as talent. The visual material is also inconsistent throughout, with a glut of footage from the first few months but a severe lack of more recent material, ending with shots of the group starting work on their second album in early 2002. There is no mention of the band winning the "Best Newcomer" award at the Brits 2002.

On the DVD: the flashy menus on the disc are attractive and easy to use, with the 70-minute documentary divided into chapters. The band's first four videos are available to view separately or as part of the whole feature. Incongruously labelled as "Blue on Tour", one section of the bonus material includes behind-the-scenes footage of the band's promotional visit to Singapore. There's also the Director's Cut of "If You Come Back", which is only slightly different from the official video. Opening with Duncan slapping his girlfriend it soon becomes obvious why this version of the video was never used. Footage of the band recording the track (labelled as the "Early Studio Version") provides an interesting insight into how songs rapidly change shape in post-production. --John Galilee

From the Back Cover

What an incredible year it's been for Blue.

With three Top Five hit singles (including two massive Number Ones) and a double-platinum selling album under their belts, Antony, Duncan, Simon and Lee have shot to fame over the last 12 months and there's been a camera crew there to film them every single step of the way.

Beginning with exclusive footage of the band's early days, the documentary follows Blue as they record their first material, perform their first live shows and tour the UK, Europe and Australia on their route to stardom. Featuring behind-the-scenes footage of roadshows, photoshoots, studio recordings and signings, 'A Year In The Life Of...' also includes the videos for all of the bands' singles (including new single 'Fly By II') plus loads of exclusive interviews and live performances.

The dvd features are excellent, you see Blue in Japan, on the road, and meeting the cast of neighbours. You also see them on their video shoots, there's a glimpse of them working out in the gym.
There is also a chance to see them topless girls! not for long though!
You come up close and personal with Lee, Antony, Duncan and simon, finding out things about them like their music influences and their backgrounds. This is a must for all Blue fans!
It's so amazing that it is really hard to write down in words, you have to see it to believe it.
Go out and get it for the ultimate BLUE experience!

Brilliant Dvd 20 April 2003
Format:DVD
This DVD gives an insight into what has been an amazing year for blue. It is packed with interviews, live performances and their videos. The DVD is interesting and not just random interviews stuck together but specially recorded interviews for the DVD. The boys are honest, fun, good-looking and interesting. This is definately worth the money.

Format:VHS Tape
A Year in the Life of Blue follows them from their first hit single upto the release of 'Fly By II'. Being a big Blue fan I really enjoyed the 70 minute video which shows all of their videos, some interviews and a bit of backstage stuff. I would, however, have preferred the interviews to be a bit more interesting and in depth and it would've been nice if the video covered the history of how the band formed and got their first break etc. but all in all a good buy but probably only for true Blue fans.
