Slam Dunk Da Funk

Is it just me or is this whole pop-group-getting-back-together thing getting a little ridiculous? The Take That and East 17 reunions, I can understand. Ten years have passed since they were at their peak, enough time for solo careers of varying success, enough time for their fans to grow up and so enough time for an announcement of them reforming to be seen as an event.

But is there any need for Five, a group whose last single was less than five years ago to jump on the 90s nostalgia bandwagon?

Now, I actually quite liked Five, or should I say, 5ive. They were everything a boyband should be. They made great pop singles, didn't take themselves too seriously and showed up Westlife for the cesspool of Daniel O'Donnell impersonators that they were. They also gained a lot of respect by quitting, like Take That and Busted did, while they were at the top of their game. But to reform so soon after seems to defeat the object a little. Who's next? One True Voice?

I hope they succeed because pop music needs a good boyband at the moment but I honestly don't think enough people will care.
