Hot Shots: Sugababes Resurface At Soap Awards

Published: Monday 16th May 2011 by Sam

Since the chart disaster that was ‘Sweet 7’, (what’s left of) the Sugababes have kept a relatively low profile.

Indeed Heidi, Amelle, and Jade had seemingly bowed out of the limelight, after the mass outcry which followed their ridding the group of its last founding member Keisha Buchanan.

However, amidst reports that the trio are putting the finishing touches to their new LP, the ladies made their first collective appearance in some time at the British Soap Awards in London last week. They attended the event to support Jade’s longtime boyfriend, Ricky Norwood (“Fatboy” of Eastenders fame).

The group’s new Thundercats produced single is slated to debut soon.

——————————-

One has to wonder why the group, label, or management are even bothering at this point. To date, ‘Sweet 7’ has sold a dismal 25,000 copies – which in itself should serve as an indicator of current pubic interest in this farce of a line-up. I mean, even pre-Keisha-gate, sales for the ‘Babes were not the jam (see: Catfights & Spotlights). It’s like trying to fix the Titanic. It’s still going to sink.

Your thoughts?

    You’d rather they all carried on miserably?

    Dont fool yourself that it didnt become a brand at the second line-up change.

    You know i’ve been a fan of this band since the beginning but i’m sick of people painting Keisha as the victim, she is a b****… she bullied Siobhan out of the band and drove her to bullimia, she bullied heidi AND Amelle when they joined, all the line up changes (besides Mutya leaving) were down to Keisha so she got what she deserved.
    While i’m not that fussed on the “Sweet 7” album the accoustic versions of the songs the girls did for live lounge and the sun etc where amazing and show that unlike most girl groups Sugababes are still the best vocalists, their harmonies are amazing.

    I hope with this album they ditch the redone sound they had for S7 and go back to something more organic which is what i’ve heard they’re doing. And FYI i think it’s amazing in this day and age that a label is actually sticking with a band and putting faith n them to come back rather than dropping them at the first flop like most labels do these days, good luck to them they’re all sweet girls.

    @#KingLukeXXII (AKA ThatBoyLuke

    If you’re a fan then changing members in a band should matter to you since it changes the sound of the group & makes them even more manufactured to the point they sound the same as every other group. They all could be bitchy because going behind a founding group members back & replacing her is not a nice thing to do either you can call that bullying to. Heidi & amelle should have ended the group if they were so unhappy. They could have started a new group, the only reason they are caring on is because the sugababes name has more money invested then a new unknown group name. They are profiting form the sugababes name & music catalogue.

    sugababes…who the hell are they???…Walmart Giving Back After Laying Off Over 50,000 People.. $1,000 Giftcards – I Grab 2 of Them..LOL http://goo.gl/g4zvo

  12. ryan May 16, 2011

    these three inposter should just disband and call it a day no1 can be arsed with them nomore, they are fakes they are not even the sugababes, hope they flop big time and they get dropped by their record label, bring the original sugababes-keisha, mutya and siobhan

    team original sugababes all the way!!!

  13. ryan May 16, 2011

    BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL AND FAR EXCELLANT SUGABABES, THE ORIGINAL LINE UP-KEISHA, MUTYA AND SIOBHAN!

  14. once upon a time……….. May 16, 2011

    these girls were NEVER relevant.

    ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS THE BEST.

  15. JohnVidal May 16, 2011

    Don´t care about them!
    Important thing on the British Soap Awards is that brilliant actor Danny Miller (Aaron from Emmerdale) finally won Best f****** Actor!!!! YEEEESSSSSSS
    Hes is the best. And so is Emmerdale, specially Aarson! x

  16. lee May 16, 2011

    ^^^^WTF?!? this is a music forum not some s***** granny soap watching b*******

  17. James May 16, 2011

    I’m actually willing to give these girls another chance despite them totally blowing the Sweet 7 campaign. I know they don’t have any original members and I will be eternally pissed off that they kicked Keisha out of the group, but I figure that as long as Heidi is still there they still have at least a little bit of the sound that made them famous. 3.0 were more or less my favorite lineup so I guess its not so bad that they are willing to carry on with Jade, as long as they still release decent music. Oh, and I loved Catfights and Spotlights and the Keisha version of Sweet 7 is ace.

  18. Nate May 17, 2011

    I love Sugababes and can’t wait for their comeback, but Amelle honey that hairstyle is OLD! Change it up for the new album campaign!

  19. JohnVidal May 17, 2011

    @lee
    You mad some people like to talk about talent? If the post is about soemthing irrelevant it is better to talk about someone with talent, even if this is not about actors or tv shows! 🙂

  20. stefan May 17, 2011

    omg amelle looks great!!!!!
    im so happy for her!

  21. lee May 18, 2011

    @JohnVidal I’m sorry i offended you and your buddies at the retirement home! who the f*** watches Emmerdale anyway?!?! At last glance-this was post was the sugababes not some random s*** t.v soap!..talent or not-why not post your thoughts on the millions of other RELEVANT sites the world wide web has to offer …Lay off the crack pipe

  22. JohnVidal May 18, 2011

    @lee
    I didn´t call irrelevant this site ThatGrapeJuice! I said these girls are untalented and irrelevant. And the post talked about the BSA and then I talk about some talented actors… I don´t see the problem you have. Emmerdale is watched by 8 million viewers in the uk so yes is relevant enough. Only two other soaps and xfactor type of programs have more audience you troll
    Go back to Sugababes, Britney Spears and Fast Furious type of films…I´m sure you love all that s***

    if they are talented why do they need to use a fake name like sugababes, and why are teh members black asian and caucasian not like i care, but the reason is they werent chosen by talent but they were chosen as copies, the first band had great talent… and I think personally siobhan and mutya were the best…… and if a band loses moe then the half of teh original it dies … so when mutaya left tehy should have ended….
    this band will fall because without heart there is no succes…

    Sweet 7 would have sold if K was still in the band. If you listen to the leaked tracks from Sweet 7 with k on them they are so much better, more up beat and well more like a Sugababes single. J A and H just cant handel the vocals by them selves, if watch any live show with them they sound awful. They could have gone global with Sweet 7 but no, A and J had to be jealous of K. and mess it all up.
