RIP Sugababes

So, last Friday, rumour was Amelle was leaving Sugababes, which in all honesty didn’t phase me, she was my least favourite what with her weird ‘I stand like the letter ‘S’’ (surely I’m not the only one who’s noticed this?) and after her input in ‘Get Sexy’ (I’m not even going to go into my thoughts on that song, here is neither the time, nor the place, and I just don’t have enough room to ‘express my opinions’. Ahem).

And let’s face it, Sugababes members leaving is hardly a new thing is it?

Next thing, Jade Ewan, the girl that’s managed to drag the UK out of the ever-embarrassing ‘UK – nil points’ at Eurovision is replacing Amelle. Fine. Perfect. She’ll make a better Sugababe anyway.

Then, off the PR offices go for the weekend.

Monday evening. I go to a meeting in the evening, it went on longer than I anticipated. I log on to feed my Twitter addiction once I get out, only to find the KEISHA’s left, Jade Ewan’s replacing her and along with Heidi and Amelle, she’ll be performing under the Sugababes name.

WHAT???!!!

This is not what I was expecting, and I am STILL, more than a little upset at the news.

Since 1998 they’ve graced our TV screens, our radio stations, and just generally always been there somewhere, albeit in a few different line ups, but still with at least one original member.
Now that’s no longer.
Now we’ll have no more Overload. No More Freak Like Me. No more Round Round. No more About You Now. No more Push the Button.

We’re going to have more Get Sexy. Woopie-bloody-doo.

Pop will never recover.

In tribute, take a look at some Sugababes classics, just in case you’d forgotten just how good they were:
