Boybands Forever

[Beth1980]

I have seen comments about Mikey and Keith not interacting and having issues, I watched their show No Matter What so I am aware there were issues between them all especially at the end. But does anyone know the issue between K and M?
Mikey seems to be ok with Shane and tolerant of Ronan but not interacted with Keith with what I have read about last night's show.

I find their motivations quite confusing for both the shows and documentary. Ronan has obviously been the most successful member of the band, he’s never been out of work. Keith is regularly gigging and touring with Boyzlife, Mikey clearly prefers to live a quiet private life, and Shane isn’t particularly materialistic and has other interests in cars. Not saying they are all mega wealthy but, at the very least, they now all have freedom to pursue whatever work or interests they wish. So, why another documentary, what’s to be gained by this?

That said, I am a Boyzone fan and will be at the Emirates next week their first time doing a stadium gig and I was not missing it.

I heard a podcast a while back and Shane has got really into God and the Bible. He talked about demonism in the media, while I didn't agree with everything he said, he actually made some interesting points!
Have a great time seeing them! I saw them once at the BZ20 ITV recording and it was actually really fun, so I'm sure they'll put on a good show!

I was there, Mikey came in partway through sang a couple of songs from his chair, disappeared again and then came back at the end.

Ronan looked like he'd raided his mum's wardrobe, with a sparkly cloak at the beginning, then later a red floaty blouse and heels.

Did Mikey and Keith interact?

They probably don't badly need the money but I'm sure whatever figure they get was too good to turn down. More power to them I guess. Is Mikey doing the live shows?

Where is ronan from Wikipedia says kilbarrack but

Keating was born on 3 March 1977, the youngest of five children. He grew up in Bayside in Kilbarrack, County Dublin, and in County Meath, attending St. Fintan's High School. His father, Gerry Keating, was a lorry driver; his mother Marie was a mobile hairdresser.

Ronan Keating was born in Swords, Dublin, Ireland on March 3, 1977.

I'm on the first episode. Louis Walsh is deranged making up stories for the press, especially the plane crash one. Imagine their poor families having to read that and he just chuckles about it. Fucking hell.

I can’t remember if this was said but I saw Shane say they did have to emergency land while going to Australia. For some reason he decided to make it way more extreme than it was!

Father And Son was on Emmerdale today. I love Boyzone’s version of it

Cat Stevens version always makes me feel emotional

 

[Holograms]

I was surprised they didn't mention in the All Saints part how Mel and the Appleton sisters had gone behind Shaznay's back to a record label to try and do the band without her https://www.archive.is/https://www....theguardian.com/music/2004/oct/10/popandrock1

"Shortly afterwards Blatt bumped into Natalie and Nicole Appleton, her former best friends from stage school, introduced them to Lewis, and the ultimate All Saint line-up was created. 'We went into the studio together with a producer for four or five months, making demos, building up a showcase. Then we signed to London Records.' But not before Blatt and the Appletons went to a label executive behind Lewis's back with their own demo, which included an early recording of Lewis singing 'Never Ever'. The exec told them to get Lewis back on board. 'I was a bit shocked, to be honest"

I wonder if Shaznay and Mel are still friends?

Just finished episode 2 but didn't really feel like there were any new revelations or stories? Felt a bit of a rip off and rehash of 'The Big Reunion' show on ITV2.
Its strange to totally gloss over Boyzone when they were so huge in the 90s, but I guess none of them wanted to take part!

Don't blame them tbh

Higher by the Saturdays was a bop but they were the girl group equivalent of a new build decorated with grey paint and a live laugh love sign

Don’t forget crushed velvet and diamanté encrusted everything

Girlbands Forever: Girls Aloud and Mis-Teeq on the 'chaos' of being in a girl group

Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Atomic Kitten and Mis-Teeq reveal what life was like at the height of their fame.

www.bbc.co.uk

The BBC has an article linked to the show but a) the lead photo on the main page and article is Girls Aloud who aren't even featured, b) they list Blackstreet (No dignity, no doubt) as a boyband alongside Five and One Direction and c) they insinuate that boybands are shit and only popular because of hormonal teenage girls, but suggest that 1D aren't part of this and were artistically superior. The disrespect to bands like Take That, East 17 and NSync!

Honestly this shit makes me want to stop paying the licence fee.

 

[Restless Native]

Did Keith bully Mikey you think?

 

[ItsmeImtheproblemitsme]

The girls did it too. Atomic Kitten, B Witched, Honeyz, and Liberty X

Oh maybe not that one I’m thinking about then- I’ve seen B*Witched loads because they used to support Boyzone and Westlife a lot! I think Atomic Kitten cancelled a gig I was supposed to see them do a fair few years ago- don’t think I’ve actually seen them You forget how many bands there actually were around the same time

 

[Fluctuate]

He’s off again.
My money is on Shane!


Ronan commented laughing. I bet he’s gutted Robbie didn’t include him!

"In no particular order, apart from Keith"

He didn't include any of my recommendations. I put all of 10 minutes into that. Devastated.


He's vastly overestimating the acting skills of boybanders. Someone needs to tell him about Dead 7 and Longshot




Both of these masterpieces are available on YouTube if anyone wants to spend a few hours cringing.

 

[Flowergirl14]

Why? The charts don’t matter like they used to. How many people know or care now who is number 1

But surely that is the whole point of bringing back TOTPs or similar???

Boyzone pose as a trio after bitter 2018 split as one member snubs cosy reunion

Boyzone members Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham, and Shane Lynch have reunited for the first time in years as a new documentary about the Irish band premieres in London

www.mirror.co.uk

No Mickey Graham.

 

[Kerrie86]

It’s been a while since I saw the documentary, but didn’t Mikey basically take issue with Keith and Shane going on the piss on tour coz he didn’t think they were taking it seriously enough? Isn’t it likely to be a hangover from that?

 

[Ivegone]

Sorry if they have but did they ever explain why is it Jay left five

 

[Shannon51]

I wonder who the support will be!

Naughty boy

 

[hogwartsgraduate]

I'm sure there was another documentary recently that went through that a little bit, Gary was talking about it.
I don't have Netflix so not sure where it was.
