I agree Liberty X should get more exposure on the show. In reality I think they could be the only ones who could make music now and still have hits.
Five and Blue are all arrogant annoying idiots.
911 seem like really nice guys and I'd love to see Lee and Lindsey get back together, its so obv how much he still adores her.
Atomic Kitten are okay but Liz seems so out of place with the other gobby pair and the spoof video on youtube about Kerry is more entertaining than the actual band.
Honeyz I always really liked but I don't think they could be big again, same with b*witched.
Would like a greatest hits from LibertyX if they aren't going to carry on after the tour...they've got tonnes of songs they could put on there as an incentive for people to buy it.
I found Five the most interesting to watch and I think they had the most songs that I liked at the time - in fact some of them (911) I only remember one song. I'd like to see vocals divided up more, which some of the bands did - we got to see all of Five do bits, which I liked.
Liberty X were my other favourites but they didn't get enough screen time, and I liked the Honeyz for being a bit different with more soulful songs (again didn't get enough screen time). I suppose I'd rank them as:
1. Five
2. Liberty X
3. Honeyz
4. Atomic Kitten
5. 911
6. Bewitched
I was never remotely interested in Bewitched at the time as I found them really childish and hated their music.
Was it just me or were there inconsistencies with the show - for example, didn't some bands get to do more songs than others? I can only remember Atomic Kitten doing two, whereas I'm sure others did at least three. And I thought Honeyz were supposed to be performing in blue suits? They didn't even have a costume change like the others.

Honeyz apparently wore the blue suits for 'End of the Line' but it was cut from the TV show! Should be on the DVD though. They only had 2 songs shown, as did B*witched and Atomic Kitten (presumably AK was due to Kerry's wardrobe malfunction?).
5ive by a mile. They were head above the rest imo. Also easy to forget how many great songs they had.
I really did enjoy 5ive much more than I thought I would! I mean lyrically, most of their songs seem like meaningless drivel... yet for some reason its really good meaningless drivel!

Atomic Kitten, B*witched and 5ive for me, but Atomic Kitten sounded brilliant
3 things I learnt from BR
1. Abz was much bearable than I thought he would be
2. Kerry Katona sounds good singing
3. They didn't just make up Honeyz for the show
He came across very well, they all did. That is what happens if you've been on a high and life deals you a heavy blow, he's been humbled, and it was really good to see.
Out of all the others, I think that the songs from Bewitched and 5ive are much too young for people in their 30s to still be performing.
Whereas with Liberty X, Honeyz, Atomic Kitten - they could sing the songs now at their current ages and still look ok. Blue songs also fit their current ages, but they became famous in their 20s and are now in their 30s - so the age difference is not so great.
911 seemed to be famous in their teens and are now in their 40s and look stupid still doing bodyshaking.
I agree with above post about ages and styles. 5ive did have an edge with their rap pop and were good for nostalgia at TBR same with B*Witched but 5ive have mellowed naturally with age and lost their edge so would be interesting to see what kind of a sound they'd do now.
Like i said in a previous post C'est La Vie and Rollercoaster really are a young pop bands song for a young audience where as the two ballads To You I Belong and Blame Weatherman fit a wider appeal.
I voted for B*Witched, I was a huge fan when I was little.
I was pleasantly surprised by Atomic Kitten, especially Kerry.
I liked Liberty X a lot and Blue were quite good but I don't think they should have been on the show. I liked 911 and 5ive but wasn't ever really a fan.
I don't understand why the Honeyz were included on this show, they were never that big the first time around and least successful in comparison to the other TBR acts, and in the show only Mariama (sp) comes across well, Heavenli seems bitchy and Celena seems desperate for fame.
B*Witched were the most interesting story for me but their songs can not be pulled off by 35-40 year olds and Keavys vocals were poor.
Judging by the verse of C'est La Vie which Keavy sang at Hammersmith, her vocal range, if not her whole singing voice has gone south. On Ch4's What's Cooking yesterday, she said that she'd had a throat operation at some point in the past, so that could account for it. She's certainly no longer got any singing ability in her lower range.
I watched her singing C'est La Vie back again earlier today, and her vocals hadn't got any better since last Thursday. It's a real shame as back in the day, she was fantastic singing Leaves live.
B*Witched were my faves as they were the ones I remember liking the most from when I was younger, I agree that Edele came across badly but they all apparently get along really well again so there must be more to her than was shown on the show.
Watch yesterday's What's Cooking on 4OD. You'll have your head in your hands in disbelief after hearing something Edele said in front of the other three while being interviewed. And on top of that, you had the height of insensitivity from Lindsay who chose to wear a t-shirt with "Live in the Darkness" in big letters on it while Keavy's sitting a few feet away,
Methinks all is not rosy in the B*Witched rose garden.

You have to understand the previous dynamic of the group to to truly understand the irony of what happened, but basically they were being interviewed by Ben Shepherd and Lisa Faulkner. He asked them a question and the four of them sat there silently. It's clear Keavy, Lindsay and Sinead were expecting Edele to open her mouth and start yakking before any of them had a chance to speak (as is what always happened in TV interviews 15 years ago if you look back on youtube).
After the very awkward silence, they all started laughing nervously before Edele then said something along the lines of "We're Irish, we all like to talk over each other."
I'm afraid Edele came across in the Big Reunion as a bitch because that's exactly what she is. Granted, the editing did a complete hatchet job on her, but she said all the things she said and didn't appear to have been misrepresented.

Managed to see it, didn't think it was that bad really...

I thought it was awful. I cringed when I first saw it.
Edele made herself look like a cow again, and the other three just made themselves look unprofessional and unable to conduct a simple interview.
Back to the quality or lack of of Keavy's Hammersmith vocals, I've just watched her singing Leaves live in 1999. I know people's voices change over time, but it's such a shame what's happened.

Maybe I'm being dim here but what is so insensitive about that T-shirt? I get the impression that Lindsay & Keavy are very close so would be most surprised if they weren't getting along.
I agree Liberty X should get more exposure on the show. In reality I think they could be the only ones who could make music now and still have hits.
Depends on the type of music though. If they did more Just A Little/Being Nobody type songs they would probably have a few hits. If they ever decided to make music again I hope they wouldn't make anything as bad as Song 4 Lovers again. That song was pants! In some ways The Saturdays' music reminds me of Liberty X a bit.
Easily Liberty X, as they seemed like the only act reforming who were unwilling to exaggerate or invent any inter band feuds/sob stories/addictions/fake drama for the sake of the cameras.

Keavy suffered from severe depression for 6 years. She often refers to it has her "dark time". I know her and Lindsay are close, which is why the t-shirt astounded me.

Voted for 5ive because they seem the less sh** and have some tunage.
