another former boy band New Kids on the Block reformed

I must admit I do prefer the new stuff, what are your thoughts on this new trend of reforming boy bands, should they now be called Man Bands :huh:

If that A1 get back together now because of celeb BB........ARGH!

911 were the ugliest. I hope they don't get back together. Grandad band!

Blue are definitely next. E17 - doubt it.

Yes, they are definately better second time round generally I think, more mature, and performances honed.

But more than that, it's just good to see some old faces back on stage, when you no longer have a pathological hatred towards things that have once been mainstream.

I quite enjoy seeing Take That, Boyzone and even the Spice girls perform now.

E17 had a go at reforming recently. There was a documentry about it. I saw a bit and it was possibly the TV Highlight of the Year for me! One of them is now a roofer, Tony's been living as a recluse with agrophobia and Brian's problems have been widely published!

Ultimatly, it was shocking. They did a live show and they were DEFFO singing live. Sounded like really bad kareoke. They tried to arange a band meeting but Brian was two hours late so when he did show up Tont punched him! LMAO! I didn't see the end of the programme but I'm pretty sure they won't be 'coming back'.

That's because their management re-invents them. Although I agree that Take That don't seem quite as 'crass' nowadays.

I never really took much notice od Take That first time around, but they seem to be on a winning formula now, and I like them a lot.
