Crikey readers WITHOUT CLICKING can you guess which member of Take That is NOT reforming for the reunion tour.

Who should they get in to perform his BITS?

And oh why not....

What Took You So Long is v.good, but all the tracks from the last album sound like the kind of thing people half-heartedly dance to at How Does It Feel, weak 60s indiepop pastiche basically.

That makes sense - weak 60s indiepop pastiche is probably my least favourite sort of music.

So stylised though! I think La Bunton would have been very much at home doing that sort of thing in that era.

It was about as successful as R Stevens, come to think of it.

Emma much more successful than R Stevens as far as sales went. "Breathing" would have been a Number One, I am sure.

ALSO, Mel B - has no great singles, but four hilarious ones and that almost counts for something.

Geri - I LIKE SCREAM IF YOU WANNA GO FASTER AND CALLING AND "NO REGRETS" BY GIRLS ALOUD SOUNDS LIKE CALLING SO NER.

Mel C does not have any good singles, you are quite correct. "Out Of Your Mind" is super-awesome, but "Let Your Head Go" is also great.

Good R Williams singles - "Supreme" and "The Road To Mandalay". That's it.

I like 'I Want You Back' (both in a hilarious way and in a proper way, it's an early Missy beat!) and 'Never Be The Same Again' (I admit this would be much much better with less Mel C but what can one do).

Is 'No Regrets' off Chemistry? If it sounds like a G Halliwell song that'd be 0 for 4 :(

I fucking fucking fucking despise Robbie Williams.

Actually, I like "I Want You Back", "Tell Me" and "Feels So Good" plenty, and I don't care who knows it, Mel B's cover of "Word Up" is genuinely so bad it's good, and stands as a nice embarrassing blot on Timbaland's copybook even though it's actually really great!

"No Regrets" is off Chemistry. It sounds like "Calling" specifically but it has much better lyrics and is sung properly, so is not rub. 0 from 4! Oh no, well, FWIW, I do rate "Chemistry" below the other tow, because there DOES seem to be actual filler on it but I'm not going to specifically proclaim it as such until I've heard it enough times.
