Cocktails!!!

It looks like they'll be the hosts of a new show called Cocktail Wars that'll premiere later this summer on E!

Which boy band in your opinion had the biggest and most done right reunion? And the one that made you the happiest

[effacé]

Look I like Westlife, they all sound amazing, classy and not nostalgic 

But I've been in deep dive into their career and all the eras they've been in for the last 27 years

And now I'll say it loud.. Westlife did never recover from Brian McFadden's departure on 2004

He brought A different taste to their clean image (him and Nicky tbh)

If you watch and concert/performance or interview from the 5 piece era (the golden era of them) you'll find something very different every time but from 2004-2009 every tour, interview and even some tracks felt like A copy from a copy from another copy.. Everything felt predictable and safe like a man frozen in his comfort zone

They still had so much success and Brian flopped so hard as A solo artist which is fair 

But if they could forgive him and let him rejoin (like ever single boy band /pop bad and even some rock bands) did 

WL could've been very More interesting version from what they're today as A three peace 

Mark's absence affected them vocally and Brian could've saved them but they kept the narrative (4 piece), were just four and yada yada yada 

The chance is still there to bring back their best version (when Mark is able to rejoin) they could bring Brian at the same time just like find did with J and Abz 

And end the 4 piece era for good

Any cases?

These are from the first two dates of the Take Me Home Tour - both at the O2 Arena.
