So as the world and his gay husband know by now, it wasn't Amelle that left the Sugababes but original member Keisha Buchanan. She was replaced by Eurovision entrant and Making Your Mind Up winner (lest we forget) Jade Ewen.
It's all rather interesting really, I certainly didn't see it happening, despite the fact that a million people on the Popjustice forum were theorising such a move.
Anyway - here is my take on it.
Firstly, I don't feel sorry for Keisha because she does appear to be rather the little bitch. It has been reported on sites such as the Daily Mail that she made an ultimatum that it was Amelle or her. The label chose Amelle. Gutted!
However, I know everyone has said it, but they really are no longer the Sugababes are they?
The pictures that have been released of Heidi, Amelle and Jade filming their video for About A Girl, the second single from Sweet 7, does seem a far, far departure from the original line-up where it was all bootcut jeans, strappy belly tops and messy hair.
Mutya has made some good comments too, about how Jade's voice is so strong that essentially, the new line-up is her with two backing singers. BitchyMcBitch!
I was not enough of a fan previously to really care about the band that much (despite the fact that it might appear so on this blog...), all I really mind is whether or not they make good music. The new single is G-A-Y fantastic, so obvo, I love it. It's not the Babes, but it is a good dance song.
So my taking on it really, is - give a shit. It's a shame that it didn't work out so that they could keep releasing songs such as Hole in the Head, Stronger and Shape, but that's the evolution of pop.
Oh and also - I wonder what Jade will say about all this in interviews? Surely someone will ask eventually?
Sort of like if over time you replace the handle of a mop, and then later you replace the head of a mop, is it still the same mop? I like the Sugababes. It's like watching evolution happen, only faster than with finches and shit. x
ReplyDeleteI love that comparison Kitty!
ReplyDeleteJade is skanky. Keisha + any two random girls would be more legitimate than this shower of sh*t.
ReplyDeleteMy concern (well one among many) is that Jade isn't very sexy is she? Or maybe her whole bag has just been quite unsexy thus far, with all ballads and Andrew Lloyd Webbing. Will the sexy cat/Jade be let out of the bag?
ReplyDeleteWell, is that her in the picture? Because that's pretty sexy. I think Andrew Lloyd Webber could suck the sexy out of ANYONE (err, and in a less euphemistic way than that sounded).
ReplyDeleteI havent any word to appreciate this post.....Really i am impressed from this post....the person who create this post it was a great human..thanks for shared this with us.
