At the minute they're releasing stuff that sounds like what The Saturdays should be releasing, so they seem irrelevant at the minute and have lost their mark.

It'd obviously be a huge exaggeration to say that the first line up was the best, because you can only judge them on one album, but I liked the direction they were going in, and obviously that carried on with Mutya and Keisha, regardless of who the third member was; but I agree, when Mutya left, they stopped being a band. When you're in a girl band, true you don't have to be a great singer, and that was true of Heidi when Mutya and Keisha were her bandmates - they are both phenomenal singers with very striking voices.

Ah I wish they'd reunite.

In fact, I'd quite like to hear all six of them singing together on a one off occasion, I wonder what that'd sound like?

What I'd like to know is if they ever did a reunion tour in a few years once they've finally split up, who will actually be the band? And if Overload sells any copies, who gets the money? The current 3 Sugababes or the original 3? And last point, if the original 3 formed a band and took their original songs, would they have to buy the rights and legally cover them?
