Sugababes - Change
I began thinking of this song yesterday. It's a great song and it's mainly Keisha. She could probably do it solo comfortably. And it sums up the story - Change. There was always going to be change. The Sugababes have lasted much longer than any other comparable band - if there were comparable bands. Change isn't necessarily bad. It's just different. Things are "never gonna be the same again". A great solo performer is about to emerge from the ashes. And there will be reunion performances and they'll be great events.

Sweet7 - to buy or not to buy?
I'm struggling on this. I really don't want to spend the money on something that I'm not going to enjoy. But it's now a matter of conscience - having downloaded Sweet7, the new version, I ought to pay for it. Besides, a portion of the royalties will go to Keisha, who has some song-writing credits, I believe.
The album's getting uniformly bad reviews. That's no surprise. Catfights and Spotlights had mixed reviews - even though it was an authentic Sugababes album. There's a clutch of reviewers who've never liked the band and cannot be bothered to listen properly.

Who are the legal Sugababes? goes to court
Back in October, I asked Who are the legal Sugababes?
Keisha was made to sign all sorts of legal documents but what about Mutya and Siobhan? It was a good question, one that Mutya herself was pondering, it now emerges.
It's now been reported Mutya's filed a suit to recover the name. Here's the ITN version of the story. Keisha and Siobhan are said to be involved in the action as joint owners of the name.

Wait for You - new version. It's simple maths.
Some of the leaks of the new Sweet7 have been blocked on YouTube but this version of Wait for You is still up.
You can compare it with the original which we posted back in November.
The difference is stark and clearer than on any of the other tracks. This is a vocally challenging song.
In the original that's not obvious. Led by Keisha, the band effortlessly and beautifully achieve the pitch and harmonics. In the new version it is obvious they're struggling.
This is good news! It's good news because it's simple maths and it highlights what Keisha and the other individual members have contributed to the group over the years. Let's list what this lays to rest.
