This'll be interesting; the Sugababes are a complete fustercluck.

[GhettoSuperstar]

BEST NEWS THIS YEAR!!

This is brilliant (sorry to anyone who loves Keisha)

4.0 for the win!

[Billy]

Tenners bet they're gone by this time next year.

Tenners bet they're gone by this time next year.

I wouldn't be so sure of that; the Sugababes have been around for 10 years; Heidi's been around for most of that and Amelle's been there for what 3 years? Some bands change the sound of their music; the Sugababes change their members... it's worked so far!

But the key factor to all these years has been Keisha! She is the Sugababes really isn't she? She was centered around on all songs, her vocals are what the Sugababes are really, and I personally don't think that Amelle and Heidi will be able to carry the band.

Amelle hogged the vocals in Get Sexy and it got to number 2; and she collaborated with Tinchy Stryder and got to number 1 - they'll cope just fine without Keisha. Keisha just generates a lot of bad headlines. Jade Ewen's a great singer too, so I really don't think they're going to struggle at all!

[Harry!]

Can they just split now?

- It was the Sugababes comeback, it would have gotten to number two with Heidi on lead.

- Again, Tinchy is the man of the moment, he'd get to number one with Michelle McManus on vocals.

[*mazedsalv**]

Why JADE??

I like her as a solo artist, i like her song she has out at the moment, joining Sugababes is not a good move for her.

I totally agree!!
The only disappointment out of this is that Jade probably won't release her solo stuff but I don't care.
I've never really liked Keisha or Mutya.

I respectfully disagree :hugesmile:, I don't believe that Keisha is the sole reason for the band being successful, I think they'll continue to be successful without her.

[MarkWaldorf]

If anything, it definitely gives new life to the Sugababes and has regenerated interest in their new album.

[Ross]

KEISHA 4EVA

[Deirdre]

I think this is a great decision. They needed to get rid of her to progress IMO.

[Tom4784]

I don't think it's gonna work, how is it the Sugababes when there's no original members? It's gonna fail harder then Guns N' Roses last album.

[MiuMiu]

I'm really saddened by this news.
It's totaly rotten.
Poor Keisha.

Hey, maybe Keisha, Mutya and Siobhan can re-group and form the an Ex-Babes band? lol:bigsmile:

But seriously, this sucks.
:bawling:

[Sophii3x]

Aww Ross *hugs* :(

Though I haven't been a fan of them since Mutya left.. it's pretty sad news. Keisha was the last original and I can't see the Sugababes without her. If the buisness with secret auditions and recording behind her back is true then that's just plain nasty. LOL at them replacing her with Jade Ewen, hope they're preparing to fail hard.

Originals to re-group please :P

[MiuMiu]

YaY they can call themseleve ArtificialSweetenerBabes.
:laugh2:

[Z]

Splendababes!

[MiuMiu]

^
:laugh2:

[ILoveTRW]

love it

i dont see what everyones problem is with Heidi SHE IS HOT

[KKBL]

What a stupid thing to do.
No matter what people think of Keisha,no one can deny she was the face of the Sugababes.She will always be the first person that comes into your mind when you think of the Sugababes.
Keisha's solo career will be huge though.Shes far better than the others.

[Jack_]

What happened to Amelle leaving? :conf:

Don't know who Jade Ewen is as I don't watch Eurovision but this is very bad news. What was once a very hot band, is now (excluding Amelle) a very ugly band. :sad:

Not sure how they'll do on the music side of things now but it'll be interesting to see what happens.

However, I'm expecting a very big career from Keisha. :thumbs:

['Conor]

technically heidi is an original cause she joined when they became famous and shes been in it 9 years now... and amelle 5 years so there not really that new

[Nicky.]

They're not Sugababes anymore! They're just a random band xD

and Jade went to school with Tom Fletcher and his girlfriend *wanders out of thread*

That attitude works really well with Twilight. Keep it up and you'll be universally loved on here.

okay, the ****.

[Ross]

Mutya tweeted: I will say this publicly...shame on Heidi for not following Keisha out. But doesn't surprise me a bit. x

[xDramatick]

^ Mutya doesn't have twitter, that's a fake.

[MassiveTruck]

Too much too late. She was the least talented of the late. She can't sing, she moves like a pregnant Wildebeest and from all the things I've heard about her - she was awful in the band and was the reason previous members left.

I doubt this will help them. God knows why they're going for Jade because she hasn't got the look. The earlier Sugababes were successful because of an image. Mutya leaving was the nail in the coffin.

[Tom]

If everyone went and bought Sugababes- Overload, who would get paid?

[Ross]

^ Mutya doesn't have twitter, that's a fake.
it was in The Sun

Dan Wootton (http://twitter.com/DanWootton) said that it's apparently not her.

Either way, I think the fact that Heidi's stayed with Amelle rather than standing up for Keisha says LOADS about the state of the band.

Spot on.

Keisha was terrible but Jade is not a good replacement at all.

[MiuMiu]

They should of gotten Solange Knowles to replace her.
Solange is a massive bitch, so it would've made sense for the public's image of the band.
:joker:




BUT!
I don't know why Keisha is getting such a hard time.
We don't even know the girl.
:nono:
And apparently she's best friends with Leona Lewis, so how could she be a bitch?
Leona's too nice to have a bitch for a friend.

[MiuMiu]

This is from the daily mail, so I don't know how much of it is actally true, but it's interesting nonetheless.


Keisha Buchanan breaks down in tears at party hours after being 'forced' out of band the Sugababes
By Chris Johnson
Last updated at 3:01 PM on 22nd September 2009

Only original member will be replaced by Eurovision finalist Jade Ewen.

Keisha Buchanan broke down in tears only hours after she announced that she had been forced out of the Sugababes.

The 24-year-old singer, the last founding member of one of Britain’s biggest girl bands, tried to put on a brave face last night by going out in public.

When Keisha arrived in the VIP section of the Red Bull Fashion Factory party her friends, including Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child and Oritse Williams of JLS, flocked to support her.

A statement on Keisha’s Twitter page last night said she was 'no longer a part of the Sugababes' but it was not her decision to leave.

A source at the London Fashion Week party, in New Oxford Street, said: 'Michelle was the first to share words of encouragement.

'But it all got too much for Keisha, who started to cry in the middle of the party and Oritse from JLS had to comfort her.

'It was heartbreaking. She felt devastated about what happened and thinks everyone thinks she’s a b***h when she did everything she could to make it work between her and Heidi and Amelle.'
Keisha’s Sugababe replacement, 21-year-old Jade Ewen, was poached from her own record label a week ago, despite releasing her single My Man only yesterday.Jade will join Amelle and Heidi Range.
A source said: 'Jade was approached by the Sugababes’ record label Island last week and pretty much bundled onto a plane to LA on the same day, where they were shooting the next video.'

Jade represented the UK in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, singing My Time. The source added: 'Her profile’s pretty big since Eurovision, but she felt she couldn’t say no.

'Her own record label didn’t even know she had gone, so were getting panicky.'
The news comes after weeks of speculation that fellow member Amelle Berrabah was set to leave following reports of in-fighting.

Posting a message on Twitter, Buchanan, who has been in the band for 11 years, said: 'Although it was not my choice to leave, it's time to enter a new chapter in my life.'
She stressed that she had 'nothing but positive things to say about the girls' adding: 'I would like to state that there were no arguments, bullying or anything of the sort that lead to this.'
But she also said: 'Sometimes a break down in communication and lack of trust can result in many different things.

'I would also like to point out that I have always supported the girls and they have also supported me.'
Keisha will remain with the record company Island Records to pursue her solo career, a spokesman for the band confirmed.
The statement on the Sugababes website read: 'The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded.

'Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah will continue as the Sugababes and will be joined by new member Jade Ewen.

'They release their album Sweet 7 on November 23 through Island Records.
'Keisha Buchanan will continue to record for Island Records as a solo artist.'
It is the third line-up change for the group, who recently went to number two with Get Sexy, the first single from their seventh studio album Sweet 7.


The group was formed in 1998 by original members Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy.

Range replaced Donaghy in 2001 and in 2005 Buena was replaced by Berrabah.

Speculation about the band's future was sparked two weeks ago when Amelle failed to show for a gig at London's Movida nightclub.
At the time it was reported she had gone missing after being involved in a bust-up with Keisha, although the girls said she failed to turn up because her friend had been in a 'bad accident'.
Keisha, who was accused of bullying Amelle, revealed on Twitter at the time: 'I may come across as a hard nut sometimes, but I'm actually really sensitive and it destroys me to think people see me as the longest standing member and assume that I'm the b***h who causes people to walk, and it's totally untrue and unfair.'

Keisha's statement in full on Twitter:

'Dear Friends I'm sad to say that I am no longer a part of the Sugababes.

'I've had a great time and have achieved more then I ever thought I would. Although it was not my choice to leave, it's time to enter a new chapter in my life.

'I have nothing but positive things to say about the girls and I wish them the best of luck.

'I would like to state that there were no arguments, bullying or anything of the sort that lead to this.

'Sometimes a break down in communication and lack of trust can result in many different things.

'I would also like to point out that I have always supported the girls and they have also supported me.

'Remember my drunk pictures out with Amelle, supporting her on her success with Tinchy Stryder… Oh the shame… But what a fun night we had.

'Now I'm going to take some time to focus on me. I've been in this band for 11 years and I have achieved so much.

'I have a great family and friends who are behind me 100% and at the age of 24, I'm now going out into this world on my own…

'Although i'm nervous… I'm still very excited on what lies ahead.

'I want to thank the Sugababes fans and my fans for all your support and all who have never judged me, but accepted me for who I am… The feisty, funny, professional, fearless, motor mouth… lol

'This is not the end… but the beginning!!!!

'Thank you always… Keisha xxx'
