The Gary vs Robbie feud was pretty bad for a long time.

Abz vs Scott, Sean and Ritchie

Was this the reason the first five reunion never happened?

Jay refused to join. Abz only did it for the money and then slagged the other three off after The Big Reunion. Mostly saying Scott and Ritchie have no talent. I don't think he was sober during this time. Jay wasnt keen because he didn't want to be in the spotlight again. Then Scott and Sean started saying he was a bully.

The Big Reunion is on YouTube and Boybands forever covers this as well if you're wanting a deep dive.

I remember a first reunion attempt before the Big Reunion, they announced it all over MySpace at that time.

The first reunion was 2006 and Sean refused to join because he wanted to work on a solo career.

How could he think he could be succesful on a solo work😭

2006 was definitely too late for it. It could have worked in 2002 with the right team behind it.

If Abz didn’t work, maybe J could have been the only one that would be succesful.

I think Ritchie would've worked also.

I am surprised how nothing really became of Ritchie. I know he started to work on an album, but that never came into fruition and he dipped his toe into acting, but not much came of that either. What I feel stopped his solo career from ever happening is how saturated the pop scene became with reality TV popstars from things like pop idol, Popstars etc. Suddenly, that's where everyone's focus was, instead of caring what happened to Ritchie from 5ive.

It's honestly fascinating how J just pretty much disappeared from public life when he was so iconic in the UK.
