Original Sugababes are back together!

4

The drama continues. The original line-up of the Sugababes (the way we liked them) are back together according to a few not-so-mysterious tweets here and there, allegedly. The two ladies who have active twitter accounts – Mutya and Keisha – have both tweeted that they are in the studio with two other ladies. Hmmm. This is not rocket science as the girls have expressed discontent with what has happen with “their” band. And to us, the band has totally jumped the shark after Keisha left. Let’s hope we hear from the original line up real soon!

Sugababes might lose their name!

The battle for the Sugababes’ name is on.  Ousted member Keisha Buchanan is taking to the courts and everyone is wondering, first, why she decided to do so and, second, why does she think the name is attached to her and not Mutya Buena or Siobhan Donaghy. But, she is working hard on the new album. Let’s hope the solo matter with overshadow Amelle.

Keisha Buchanan is suing for the Sugababes name

Ousted Sugababes member and the last of the originals Keisha Buchanan has taken to the courts to claim the Sugababes name. Yes, one of the original founders and the only one that lasted throughout the career is mad that Amelle Barrebah took the band away from her. Heidi used to be Keisha’s friend but she decided to lay low to keep ahold of her position in the band. Anyway, click here for more info.

Official cover for Sugababes’ album “Sweet 7″

Amelle is still in the hospital for exhaustion or whatever she’s there for. But, the album campaign is still running. This cover is probably their worst. The fire affect in the back and the dresses looks like TopShop threw up on them. They album might have great songs if “Get Sexy” is anything to go by, but, in all honesty, they have lost a whole of credibility with the firing of Keisha Buchanan. They don’t look cohesive enough and Jade Ewen is too cookie-cutter for their edgy image.

It’s just not the same without Keisha Buchanan. They have become too cookie-cutter. Jade Ewen is too squeaky clean for our liking and we feel the band has jumped the shark now. We never thought that we’d see the day that Amelle Barrabah would take center-stage. Horrid line-up, fun song.

Amelle Berrabah is not leaving the Sugababes, Keisha Buchanan is

sugaYes, the news is in. The only original member of the Sugababes, Keisha Buchanan, is leaving the band. And guess what? Forcefully. It’s been confirmed by her. We always felt Amelle Berrabah was up to no good. She probably pulled some strings to make this happen.

Keisha will be signed as a solo artist, which means we’ll get an album out of her before the record label sucks the life out of her. The good thing is, the original Sugababes can all reform. Siobhan, Mutya and Keisha. And Jade Ewen really? It seems ongoing. I wonder why she was asked to leave.  Click below to read Keisha’s statement!

Video: “Get Sexy” by the Sugababes

Surprisingly, “Get Sexy” is quite solid track with a beat so hot, it’s up there with the Black Eyes Peas “Boom Boom Pow.” The album, which Amazon.co.uk said was called LP7 but is not, will have two singles out already before it drops. This is happening with a lot of artists because after the advent of iTunes and other sites, the album seems to be dying and singles are all that brings in the money these days. So, we get two singles from Sugababes, two from Mariah, two from Beyonce and two leaks from Whitney.

Sugababes already on another album, no tour…

1

no_can_doAccording to Amelle, Sugababes are apparently going right back to the studio to record another album on the week their second single is released. There will be no tour and they will concentrate on making the next album a hit. The album wasn’t really given a chance by the public. Maybe it was the single choices, the blazé videos, the rushed release, the uninviting cover, or the looming Girls Aloud cloud. In any case, I am sure there are pop gems to discover deep in Catfights & Spotlights.

 

From DigitalSpy: “Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah has confirmed that the group will be too busy to tour next year.

Catfights & Spotlights

The new album cover is just OK. The album title is fun. I have a feeling this is their last album. This feeling comes from no factual evidence, just a mere feeling. Keisha looks good with all that cleavage. The typeface could have been a little different, as the have a history of fun ones but this is just blah. I feel it could have been a single cover. With that album title they could have been under a huge spotlight pulling each other’s hair out. I would have likes that better. Something like Amelle would be pulling Heidi’s extensions while Keisha stands in the back with a baseball bat. In any case, I am bored in the lobby waiting for the car to get me to the airport and I am just babbling on. Oh, souvenir shop… perfect!
