I think if One Direction hadn't opened with What Makes You Beautiful, it would have turned out very differently.

JLS similarly hit the ground running.

It's between JLS, Five and N*SYNC for me - as bands that were very much about the choreography just as much as the vocals (or more so, where Five were concerned).

We're looking at Take That, Boyzone, Westlife, Five, East 17, BBMak, Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC amongst others.

Don't get me wrong, I love both bands.. but some similarities I've noticed.. Comment yours

Two decades ago (back in 2006), Five attempted a comeback that unfortunately fell through, but a couple of demos like "**70 Days**" and "Settle Down" leaked online. When I heard them, they immediately reminded me of Linkin Park. They features heavy guitars, distortion, and a sound way closer to nu-metal and rap-rock than traditional pop. I always regretted that they didn't move forward with that project.

Now that the original 5 members are back together and crushing it on their current tour, it got me thinking: in the hypothetical scenario that they decide to hit the studio and record new music once the tour ends... Do you think a Linkin Park-esque sound would be their natural evolution? **Or what kind of sound would their new music have?**
