The Big Reunion - series 1 episode 4 

The saddest thing is to see that with all the boys and girls bands, none of them have had proper counseling. a psychologist who had worked with them on how to deal with the situation they are in. so much misery could have been prevented with that and even after these young people had stopped they needed guidance to function in normal life again. record companies are only concerned with money and do not take into account that these are people and not money machines. young people are so impressionable and that has been taken advantage of so much. with often dire consequences. unfortunately this still happens today.

Abz is one of my favorite five member but when I watched his story I felt sad for him after his bad experiences

* puts on whiny voice * _"My name is Sean and everything is everyone else's fault and my life is shit because of it and you're all going to listen to me whining about it for the rest of my life, meh meh meh!!"_

they should of just had a cardboard cut out of jay 😂😂😂

Ritchie is my favourite member of Five ❤. I've even met him last year. He's just so down to earth and friendly. A total sweetheart ❤

ohh abs..u were one of my favorite and most talented..my heart goes out to you..im so relieved ur doing fine now.. that garden stuff looks cool

richie from five is the only normal and grounded one in the band. i feel bad for sean. he needs therapy.

i found it hilarious when abz said 'i have this overwhelming feeling that j is missing' and everyone just looked blankly at him for a while and then one of them just said 'well he is'

The biggest issue between these groups is complete lack of communication. None of them talk at all. None of them dealt with the issues. Its just madness. How could you ever hold a group together without communication.

So glad Liz realised Natasha had suffered from depression and they finally patched up sadly even now there’s such a stigma around mental health I’ve had depression for many years and now I’m on an even keel but it’s shattered my confidence and sometimes still battle with suicidal thoughts let’s hope other young people can seek help Xx

Oh Abz :'( My heart breaks for everything he went through. So glad he's been able to overcome it, really well done. Vicki must be an amazing person to be able to help him through it.

I've noticed that The UK are more "intense" about their Groups. When New Kids On The Block broke up, fans didn't go cray cray, it was "Ok now it's time to find a new set of Boys." What's so beautiful is that they have Partners who love them for who they are not their past Pop Glory.

"J embraced it and left me behind." Sean needs to stop blaming other people for who he's become and his own failures. How selfish to have expected J to stay miserable with him. On another note, Tash was married and Rich was with someone; were they both cheating when they got together or had they split with their partners by then? The timeline's pretty close..

Dear God ritchie sound proper Australian 😂😂😂

23:47 I love it how Abs is all like "whatever, I'm just gonna take a sip and chill". No one should be forced to take Sean's crap. What a sad little man he is.

Love Abz's idea of renaming the "4our", LOL. Now they could call themselves "3hree".

Abz grew up in Hackney. A lot of Londoners talk like that.

Abs is so cute, glad hes doing well

5ive ...u guys need to come back again as 5ive . I don't think they can do it Without those two... Straight up fact.

I was a huge 5ive fan and although I liked Sean's voice, to me his personality didn't fit with the rest of the group.

When abz said to richie that he never encountered a being like him 😂😂 yep i do get what he was saying coz richie looks like a well mannered boy calm and collected

i feel like they got kerry to join the band just so Natasha and Liz can have a catfight with her about why she did what she did. the way they treat jenny is much nicer than how they were to kerry and i still feel like to this day they still cannot forgive kerry for dating a member of a boyband (westlife). but im glad jenny is back in atomic kitten now.

In retrospect these guys are very brave to talk to each other like that. So many Groups would never could talk to each other and air out their problems. Only in 2017 did Diana Ross & Mary Wilson make peace with each other. I wish that Girls Aloud would talk out their issues. I feel that if Cheryl didn't influence Kimberley so much things wouldn't be the way that it is now.

Sean not as innocent as he makes himself to be xxxx

thanks so much for uploading this I missed this weeks episode so glad to see I can watch it on here :)

he actually has always had it. If you watch ep1 you will hear Sean saying that he has had the jamaican accent since they met. Technically his father is from Turkey tho, while his mom is English.

Kinda disgusting that Ritchie cheated on his girlfriend while filming this show with Natasha. I wonder if he was shocked when he saw her without all the make up!

Abz looked like he was still battling with his addiction here. It's sad because he was the goodlooking and talented one in the group and now he just looks like a former shell of that gorgeous baby faced boy he used to be! He didnt deserve everything that happened to him. 💔 Also isn't Dan Corsi Kerry Katona's ex???? 😂😂

Sean is not right in the head

The fact that sbz feel so sad about j not being there says a lot on how he looks up to j not just a band mate but maybe as a friend let alone a big brother for him

Abz had "Nobody" to smack his hand if need be and tell him to put his Money away in Tax Shelters or some sort of Retirement Fund. He should have gone to a reputed bank and gotten help or someone from The Label.

I didn't realize 5ive was dropped from their U.S. label. Now it makes sense because they did the disney concert had the lights go out video play on disney channel & slam dunk the funk was used for a mini dance number in Smart House & then poof gone. I have a feeling their image wasn't what they wanted to portray to american fans and thus they got dropped. Now it makes sense why I heard a few songs and then they were gone but apparently still crushing it in the U.K. plus we didn't have the resources or ability to buy imports like we do now!~!

Kerry is so right i have lost friends and family due to bipolar, being an alcoholic a drug addict would have been ok but a mental illness not so much...

he is so adorable in more ways than one

I'm kinda pissed that Scott is all "I've been trying to get us back together for years" when he was the reason they disbanded. And I still don't get how Simon Cowell looked at Sean and thought he would be a good fit. I think he doomed the group from the start. It's sad, cause they could've been so huge, BSB and NSync huge, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Can you imagine how hard it was to go from being in a Boy Band and look at you as a Has Been, maybe getting away helped him keep his Sanity. Also he and Nadine Coyle of Girls Aloud also opened a Restaurant called Nadine's Irish Mist in Los Angeles and nobody there knew who she was as a Popstar.

Can you sing today ? No......... 😂

Sean has serious issues

God almighty! Abz was like Aaron Carter with the Manager who "Robbed" him except it was his Parents. He's lucky he didn't end up some sort of Rock Tragedy. He should write a Book or even talk to the new Generation of Boy Bands/Girl Groups and warn them about how bad the industry could be.

18:32 Sean's laugh LOL

OOOH GEEZ just because J is from Aldershot isn't a bad thing ! Scott!!!!! we are the home of the British army!!!!

Over the years alot of various Temptations were part of other Groups. Dennis Edwards (RIP) was in The Contours "After" Do You Love Me was released. Richard Street who replaced Paul Williams was in The Originals, and Ricky Owens who was Fired after one show was in The Vibrations, while CG Cameron was part of The Spinners. Co Incidentally it was The Spinners who convinced The Temptations to go to Atlantic.

thanks for uploading :) greetings from phil

Wow I can’t imagine how annoying sean is just watching him cut off people while they’re talking and just give down right satcastic out of topic comments i cant imagine living with this dude everyday he’s just mr.know it all gosh thats annoying the look on rich scott and abz fsce whenever he talk just shows how annoyed they are but trying to be cool and polite about it dude we get it you were young and you broke up five stop putting yourself on the center stage all the time the whole world gets it if sean was really ready to put it all aside with J how come he did not talk to j personally about his issues they’re all grown men now

Sean reminded of The Late Eddie Kendricks Of The Temptations. He was too loyal to his Friend Paul Williams who became heavily addicted to Alcohol and got himself kicked out of the Group. Then David Ruffin who sang lead on My Girl kept telling Eddie to leave before they throw you out, he did and only had one Hit Solo Record "Keep On Truckin". He learned the true meaning of the old saying "Don't Bite The Hand That Feeds You"., and he pretty much spent a large chunk of his life Singing For His Supper. He also had to realize that unlike Smokey Robinson & Diana Ross, he didn't have Berry Gordy in his corner.

"An existential black hole" was not a phrase I was expecting to hear -_-

Does Abz maybe want to think again before revealing that his relative's bakery has rats on the premises?

5ive's talk was annoyingly depressing. i mean i literally couldn't stand listening to sean. he was been such a prick. its no wonder j never came back at all. he wanted out of this madness even tho he completed the group, sean &scott always lookd at j like a father figure. which was weird to me, but i think thats why he bullied them to the point of no return. and maybe that was why they hated him for it. nonetheless the only ones i thought had some respect for j were richie and abz. they both tried to get him back but i guess j's fame finally got to his head and couldn't handle it anymore. you guys rmmbr "dont wanna let you go" werent there two versions? one where j was in the m/v and the other he wasnt bc of his drinking problem he had that year. he hated how 1of those m/v's made him look... bc back then he was a heavy drinker and his fame made him a dickhead too which he hated as well. what made it worse was when j's verses became oddly sung by sean & scott after he left, then somehow went to abz and richie. but then one day abz left, and idky but 5ive isnt the same at all. i still feel bad for richie trapped w/ scott & sean w/o abz. scott & sean were all complaining abt how j just up&left the group bc he wanted to do his own thing at home. when they disbanded they all did their own thing too, this reunion thing was important to them, but the moment they talk. scott&sean just start doing what j used to do them when 5ive was startn out who were looking as if they were doing it to richie&abz like wtf guys! im sorry but im actually probably 1of j's fans who is glad he didnt go back for the reunion, yeah he caught up w/abz but let's be honest here. j&abz were always tight, mayb w/ richie as well bc these3 werent childish as much as scott&sean are still been. im sorry but thats the honest truth, its sad and its upsetting. j was always my fave and he's doing fine as of late. its a fact of life closing in on journey he once had which made him miserable to the point of him drinking bc his job was hard, i rmmbr those2 versions of "DWLYG" and he hated those videos bc of how it made him look. im sure when "let's dance" happened it was during sean's hiatus from the group where he needed some time away, j's time away became permanent bc he wanted to go back to normal life outside of his fame which almost destroyed him as a person and as a 5iver. he did the right thing in my opinion. management covered for sean's disappearance bc sean didn't want anyone to know he wasn't doing so hot but j's was out in the open w/no plans to return. ever again, same went w/ abz. tho when j meets up w/abz. you could see how shocked j was when he heard scott&sean hated him. i guess since from the time 5ive disbanded and until abz&j reunited... j had matured and became more mellow whereas you look@ scott&sean who still haven't changed much, but richie is stuck w/them now since abz left too. i pity richie's success now bc his mother was right, she should be still worried bc anything can happen now that j&abz are no longer mentioned w/ 5ive stuff OMFG

Los sigo escuchando todos los días

Mariah Carey came forward and talked about Bipolarism which I think is wonderful. Also in a co-incidence she and Diana Ross did Duets with Westlife. Sometimes I wonder if Dennis Wilson (The Beach Boys), Florence Ballard (The Supremes) David Ruffin (The Temptations) and Brian Jones (The Rolling Stones) had it.

The 'Jamaican sound' is now probably more common than Cockney in London! Due to Jamaican immigrants etc. Check out Kidulthood and Adulthood for whole lots of kids talking that way.

Ok, so this makes me really upset. What Rich says at 23:26 about 5ive smashing the States makes me so angry. Because of these two, the band never reached their full potential in the USA. 😠😡🤬

Jon Knight of New Kids On The Block had the same problem. He spent Three Years struggling Three Years at The Top, he got very depressed had to take meds and had to deal with his Sexuality. He is know a successful Real Estate Agent and House Flipper who is in a happy relationship with another Man named Harley.

i feel for kerry. she seems so sweet

The second one they auditioned can sing better than all of them put together.

Abz needs to give up that street accent

Actualy, Jenny replaced Kerry. But Jenny was pregnant during this show so couldn't join the group.

The auditions to replace Jay were so staged and just filled up TV time.

Is Natasha now dating Ritchie, jeez she gets through men doesn't she??

Abz looked like he was still dealing with addiction. Also, how do you give $250k to someone????? Who was the rich partying suga mama he met?

these bands should take a view how Backstreet Boys are doin' it

Sean should have never been allowed in the band. His attitude towards the kind of music that made him famous makes him seem like an ungrateful brat. They should have kicked his ass out in the beginning.

love you tash. from thailand

@Julie M My pleasure :)

Tash was one Smart Lady with The Coffeehouses. It's become like the Singles Bars of this Generation.

I always thought Abs became a letting agent in north London for some reason

When I looked at both documentaries it reminded me of Jon Knight of New Kids On The Block. He said when The Group split up, he got very depressed, took meds went for counselling but I sometimes wonder was it because he still hid the fact he was Gay. Also, he admitted that when he was a Teenager he never learned to do anything for himself ie Cooking, Cleaning, Laundry, and the like so he he had to learn it at 24 Years Old. They can teach you everything on how to be a Pop Star but they never teach you to have a "Plan B", after the Music Ends so to speak.

Cor, Abz reminds me of Ali G!

i love how they use Ed Sheeran's songs in the background, one after another continuously..

One of the toughest things that Boy Band Icons find out the hard way is that trying to be a Solo Artist is very hard. Many Guys from the Boy Band Menudo that Ricky Martin started out in didn't make it, one even became a Fry Cook at Burger King named Miguel Cancel.

Richie aged like wine 😊

Sean was alot like Agnetha Faltskog (The Blonde Lady) from Abba. After the Group broke up, she pretty much purged herself of her Celebrity, Music to the point that she didn't even buy a Record Player. Her philosophy "Been There, Done That". When they were inducted into The Rock 'N Roll Hall Of Fame she didn't even attend.

anticipating epsidoe 5

abz da mannnnn!!!

The Music used at 11:30 was also featured in Girls Aloud: Ten Years At The Top. I think that the UK Kids fell harder than their US Counterparts. Also Abz should never trust a manager. Ronald Isley (The Isley Brothers) trusted his and when he found out that his taxes weren't paid, he had to go to Prison for Three Years. If he "Sold" The Rights to his Catalogue, it's a very bad move considering that his Music as well as his Brothers is still used all over The World. In fact, Three Girl Group Icons sang Shout over the years. Mary Ann Weiss (The Shangri-Las), Ronnie Spector (The Ronettes), not to mention Nicola Roberts (Girls Aloud).

You know what's so eerie. December 28th was the day That Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys died in a Drug/Alcoholic Drowning. His Grandson by his youngest son Gage Murray was also born on December 28.

Lol it's cute cause i'm jamaican. there are a ton of Jamaicans in england so maybe he hung around them alot before the fame lol.

Is that Abz old place. On whose house is this TV show he had a tiny bungalow in Wales, down a farmtrack.

5ive could've worked without the bald one. Nobody ever gave af about him anyway.

What the hell happened to Natasha's face ?!!

Why did the show starting bleeping the swear words at episode 4?

Actually Miley's hair is similar to Kerry's. Kerry's had that hairstyle for several years now. Miley only just got it last year.

Roads - Portishead

Yeah, Chris Herbert. He and his dad Bob Herbert put Five together as well.

that just brings you to youtube home page! has the episode actually been uploaded?

hey can you uploud episode 5? big THANKS from germany =)

We build a stage like this for What?For Human RiGHTS.

do you have episode 5....please be an angel and upload it...thanks in advance!

He finally feels and acknowledged being part of five once he realised his voice is shit and as a solo artist nobody gave a ahit

Kerry at least tried to do jobs and get work. Florence Ballard Of the Supremes was so devastated and ashamed of her downfall, she was scared to leave the house. I thnk she was Bipolar as well. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys was misdiagnosed as schizophrenic but he has a disorder called Schiizoid Affective Disorder. Now he is in the early stages of dementia, and he recently lost his wife melinda ledbetter.

I thought he was mixed with Jamaican or something but nope. he Turkish and English.

the girlbands seem to have gone through alot!

sean...... you failed at the voice, full stop. Just don't like his excuses on guard. And he's not a ronan keating can pull of solo career type. He's flat. Don't like his attitude - weird

These guys are lucky, they tried to make peace. The Supremes never did and TLC never were able to. Kerry was lucky, she lived to tell the tale. I sometimes wonder if Florence Ballard Of The Supremes had that problem.

Why can't I watch this?!!! :( :(

J was my favourite out of 5ive

It will be up later today

@daix Philippines or Philadelphia?

@25:27 "How about 'four' spelled with a 4our" - Lol

Why does Abz have a Jamaican accent?
