The original lineup consisted of Chris Fedun, Brandon Hargest, Brittany Hargest, Libby Hodges, and Lesley Moore.

Chris Fedun (born January 14, 1986)
Brandon Hargest (born March 17, 1987)
Brittany Hargest (born August 2, 1988)
Lesley Moore (born October 15, 1986)
The band officially disbanded Sunday, December 16, 2007. They performed their final concert at the Rocketown Center in Nashville, Tennessee; performing with former member Libby Hodges.
Diamond
Jump5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See another pretty face on the screen
Feels like I'm not good enough
To be on the cover of a magazine
Turn around, I look in the mirror
And I wonder if ill ever measure up
All I want is someone to make it clearer
Then You break through the madness
And You tell me how it is..
You're a diamond that shines
One of a kind
A shimmering radiant star
You're a flower in the rain
Wonderfully made
To shine like the sun
You're a diamond
Friends try and tell me just to loosen up a little
You're gonna scare the good ones away
Get a look with a hook, its fundamental
Come on girl, you gotta get into the game
Something deep inside of me says
Are you sure that you really want to play?
Gotta trust you're heart and not you're head
Instead of buying into the masquerade
I'm not some decoration
So would you tell me how it is..
You're a diamond that shines
One of a kind
A shimmering radiant star
You're a flower in the rain
Wonderfully made
To shine like the sun
You're a diamond
Doesn't matter if they tell you how to live
Doesn't matter if they try and mold you
Doesn't matter if they say what beautiful is
You're a diamond cause He already showed you
You're a diamond that shines
One of a kind
A shimmering radiant star
You're a flower in the rain
Wonderfully made
To shine like the sun
You're a diamond
The song "Diamond" by Jump5 is a beautiful expression of self-love and self-acceptance. The lyrics talk about how society often sets unrealistic beauty standards, making us feel like we don't measure up. But then the song takes a positive turn towards the end, encouraging listeners to be confident in who they are and that they are a "diamond" - unique and beautiful just the way they are.
The first verse talks about the pressure of seeing perfect-looking people on TV and in magazines. It's easy to compare ourselves to them and feel like we don't measure up. The singer looks in the mirror and wonders if they will ever find the "perfect love" - a reference to the idea that we have to be perfect to find someone to love us. But in the chorus, they break through this negative self-talk and declare that they are a diamond - one of a kind, bright, and beautiful.
The second verse touches on the pressure to conform and fit in with what others want. Friends may suggest changing your look or personality to attract a partner, but the singer realizes that staying true to themselves is key. They are not some object to be used or a decoration - they have worth and value just for being who they are.
The bridge is an affirmation that outside opinions don't matter - what matters is that you know you are valuable and unique. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that message that we are all diamonds, special in our own way.
Overall, "Diamond" is a powerful message about self-love and self-acceptance that can resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds.
