Tami says: What do you guys think of the feedback from fans and web sites and such? It must be great to know you have made such an impact on people! We all love you! Thanks.

Hi_5 says: They're absolutely fantastic and overwhelming. In fact, we have folders full so that all our frinds can read them and a notice board in the kitchen at the studios with photos that our fans have sent in so we can see them every day. That reminds us of all the people out there watching the show

Hi_5 says: Hi-5 was the brainchild of Helena Harris and Posie Graeme-Evans and Helena Harris continues to produce the show today

Giggles_kids says: why did you all want to be in the group Hi-5?

Hi_5 says: Because we love working with children and for them because they are the most honest audience. And at the same time we get to combine singing, dancing and acting in the one show which is very rare

Bowie says: Do you guys each have a favourite story from the 'sharing stories' segment at the end of the show?

Hi_5 says: Charli likes "I lost my tiny yellow shell" from the 2nd series because it's about a mermaid....

Hi_5 says: Kellie loves all of them because she has so much fun playing different characters.....

Hi_5 says: Nathan has fun sending his dad so he likes all the ones where he gets to play the dad....

Hi_5 says: Touring, meeting as many fans as possible and doing promotional tours. But basically our schedule changes all the time

Tami says: Charli, what is 'Charli' short for? I've heard Sharlene/Charlene, and I've also heard Charli is actually your middle name.

Hi_5 says: Charli says: It's just a nickname that i've had since I was little

Mikki says: Charli, You seem so perfect! Whats something you've done thats embarrassing?

Hi_5 says: Charli says: I'm such a clumsy person. I do something embarresing every day. We call them "Charlisms"

Hi_5 says: Merchandise is being created every day and some of the items that will be available soon are really exciting....

Hi_5 says: we can't wait for you to see them

Sienna says: Kellie whenever there's a duck in the story you always seem to play that part! Do you like acting as a duck, you're very good at it!

Hi_5 says: Kellie says: I did a good duck in the first series, and since then they seem to keep putting me as the duck whenever one's needed. It's not my particularly favourite animal because i love all creatures great and small

Lisa says: whan's your next video coming out?

Hi_5 says: At the moment the release date isn't confirmed but it will be called "Hi-5 Five Alive" and shouldn't be too much further away

rebecca says: do you visit special schools to entertain the kids?

Hi_5 says: We visit hospitals and wherever we can we do appearances for special requests. But due to our tight schedules, we don't have as much time as we'd like to do that

david says: Kathleen, what is your favourite Hi-5 song? Do you guys like all the travelling you get to do when touring? I've heard that you have already been to New Zealand and to Asia, did you enjoy the experience?

Hi_5 says: Kathleen says: My favourite song is "You're my number One" but i love them all this series.....

Hi_5 says: We love the touring because we get to see so many exciting places and meet all the fans. We got an unbelievable response in New Zealand and Asia and it's really overwhelming to think that we're viewed internationally

Kerrie says: Is Ellie the Elephant the one that use to be white, but now you dyed it purple?

Hi_5 says: Yes very clever. You must be a very dedicated fan to notice that . Cause Ellie didn't like being white so she changed to purple. Look out for the next colour change!

Lisa says: What do you think when you walk past a Hi-5 thing in a shop or see yourself on tv?

Hi_5 says: We'll stop and take a photo of it because we get so excited. We've done that many times.....

Hi_5 says: Because we're in studio at lot we don't know whats going on outside, so any response to our show is overwhelming

DA_BOMB says: Would you ever do a 'Hi-5 uncut' series? I think it'd be funny!

Hi_5 says: We think we have enough footage already to produce that from the offcuts of series 2 and 3. We have our own blooper tapes which we love to watch for a laugh

David says: Charli, I watch your show everyday and I think that you are so talented. How long did you study dancing and singing?

Hi_5 says: Charli says: I started tap when i was 2 and than basically up till now i've done a bit of dancing. I haven't done that much singing but since i've been on Hi-5 i sing every day!

Kellie_Crazy says: did you girls write any songs this time?

Hi_5 says: No, but the boys did. Tim and Nathan wrote "Friends" which has been on this week

hi5_girl says: If you could change one thing about Hi-5 what would it be?

Hi_5 says: That it was shown in the afternoon as well so that more people could get to see it

tweetypie says: do you all except for when you work together..go places together as just friends..or do you not see each other at all?

Hi_5 says: We all get on really well and love hanging out because we've become a family

DA_BOMB says: Do you get older teenages at your concerts, or are they mostly little kids?

Hi_5 says: The results from surveys have shown that over half the audience is over 18 and there are lots of them turning up concerts - and the more the merrier of both. It's not just a show for little kids

Tami says: When in Albury, Kel said to look out for larger sized clothing for us older fans. Do you guys know what's happening there?

Hi_5 says: We all keep asking the same question but as yet, only the children's range is being produced

Sienna says: When you were little what did you want to be when you grew up?

Hi_5 says: Kellie wanted to be the next Madonna, Nathan wanted to be a singer, and the rest changed their minds lots - but Charli still wanted to be a dolphin princess

dylan says: Nathan: U seem 2 b a alround entertainer, and love what u do. This comes across in every sketch that u do-and i have seem all of them. My favorite being LIMBO, thanks 4 being so entertaining.
