And commercial success is no indicator of how talented a person/people is/are; as we all know.

I didn't like their original sound but I really liked the second line up and most of their music. As you say Heidi isn't a great singer, but when you're in a girl band you don't have to be. They kept hints of their original sound right up until Mutya left, and once she went I think thats when Sugababes became a brand, no longer being a band, more so with the latest line up. 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.
