Reports are mounting by the second claiming that Amelle Berrabah has official left the Sugababes – and has been replaced by none other than Eurovision star Jade Ewen:
Amelle Berrabah has quit the Sugababes- according to reports.AND it’s thought that young solo star Jade Ewen will replace her in the girl group.It’s been rumoured that Amelle had quit the band all week amid reports that the star had gone missing.Now 21 year old Jade- who represented Britain at the most recent Eurovision song contest- looks set to take over in the band.Ewen was due in the MTV offices yesterday but pulled out at the last minute. A statement from her label said:“Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we regret to inform you that Jade Ewen will be taking time off from all promotional activity for the foreseeable future.”Amelle joined the group in 2005 replacing Mutya Buena. MTV is currently waiting on a statement from Sugababes label. {Source}
Wow! Having interviewed the ladies just a few weeks ago, nothing indicated that there was anything going on. I can also reveal that we interviewed Jade very recently too about her forthcoming project (the video of which will be up very soon) and nothing pointed to her involvement with the ‘Babes. With the media frenzy almost certain to ensue over here due to ‘yet another member leaving’, I’m cautiously holding my comments, until more is revealed.
I will say, however, that with the new album little over a month away, I initially thought all the ‘unhappy Amelle’ press was all publicity, but with her leaving so close to the release, it’s looking like things could get quite messy. After all, they’ve shot all the album promotional shots, likely mastered the album etc. So many questions on the mind; will Jade re-record Amelle’s parts, is Amelle leaving even true etc. Shocking stuff indeed….
Your thoughts?

Oh for f*cks sake not again, look can we just get mutya back… why did she have to go and ruin everything.
And indeed in your interview it didn't at all look like she was unhappy.. sad news.

OMG! Amelle is sucha bitch. Why didnt she left the group earlier?? Now, when their new album is coming up she decides to leave the group? Thats just stupid and mean and unprofessional.
I wish they could get Mutya back, her solo career is not working so maybe she wants to get back :S … anyway I think Jade is a good choice, she is beautiful and talented, she is better than Adelle in many ways.

this is sad… i never liked amelle until this year. her star was beginning to show with the tinchy song and on get sexy… she could've ended up being the breakout star of that group. by going solo too soon, she'll fuck up. she should've stuck with it for a while until the album dropped and she became the *real* star of the group, which was the way it was going.
as for jade, i think she fits perfectly and i'm looking forward to it.

Hot ass mess indeed – although this seems like a very dodgy promo tactic…..

I'm happy she is living, Jade would be a fantastic replacement. I hope they replace all the vocals because I can't stand Amelle's annoying voice.

I Hope It's Not True… Don't Be Bringin' Up Mutya Name Because If She Left The Group That Was Her Choice And If She Wanted To Be In The Group She Would Still Be A Sugababe…
P.S. Whatever Happens I Can't Wait Until They Come To America…

Mutya was defending Keisha when she was being called a bully. Saw an interview via MSN.
I personally think Amelle lied bout Keisha being jealous and arguments. It's funny as soon as she gets a hit outside the Sugababes she's quick to complain and jump ship! Retarded move by her!!
This is such a shame and i hope if jade goes in thats stability.
Really this is to much changing!!!
