Keisha: Jade's not joining 'Babes
SUGABABE Keisha Buchanan says Eurovision flop Jade Ewen is NOT joining them - but their future still looks uncertain.
She denied Jade would replace Amelle Berrabah, saying: "It's not true she's joining.
"She's a friend of mine but no, I'm not a liar. It's completely false, that's the honest to God truth. One hundred per cent."
But sources close to Jade said she HAD been in LA, where the Babes were meant to be recording a music video for their new single.
Keisha said the trio - who also include blonde Heidi Range - have patched up the problems between them, which led to Amelle going AWOL.
"We're all still in LA, me and the girls. There is no hate going on between us. There's the three of us in this band and no-one is joining," she said.
But their record company Island is due to make a big announcement on the future of the band in the next couple of days, fuelling speculation they might split.
A source said: "There's crunch talks being held at the moment. Keisha doesn't know if she can deal with the stress of a new member joining if Amelle leaves. It seems like the perfect time for the band to end.
"They're not best mates but as far as Amelle is concerned she's a Sugababe for the moment while they sort everything out."

Keisha, wrote most of the songs. Keisha is the original member Keisha should shut up she talk to much. The new girl is trouble, the new girl needs to go. two girls is a great idea.

I'd love to know what is really going on here!
Personally, I think Keisha and Heidi should remain as a duo. Let Amelle do her thing (if, of course, that is what she wants to do). Although I don't always find their music as exciting as I used to (back in the days of Overload and Freak Like Me), they remain one of the best groups in the UK today. Very successful and, despite the change in line-ups, have had staying power for almost ten years. Would be a very sad day for pop music if The Sugababes decide to split for good.

Excuse Me, But Jade Ewen Is NOT A Eurovision "Flop". Take A Look At Andy Abraham Or Scooch!
Her New Single Is Out Tommorow And People Need To Buy The Single From Jade, Personally I Think The Song Is Great, Its Catchy, And Is Bound To Be A Hit.
It Entered The Mid-Week iTunes Chart At 121, And Is Expected To Reach The Top Ten.
In Regards To The Sugababes, I Prefer It When Mutya Was In It, But She Has Her Own Solo Album Out Early Next Year. The Sugababes Have Reached The End.
The Sugababes Have Released 26 Singles, I Think Thats Enough For One Generation: Only 6 Of These Went To Number One.
Only One Of The 6 Number Ones Was With Amelle, She Was A Let Down To The Whole Group.
Mutya, Siobhan And Keisha Was The Best Lign Up!

As time goes on Sugarbabes music is getting better and better and they should not split. I don't hate Keisha but after reading things in the press (some true and others probably not). Keisha needs to sort her head out as due to her they have lost a lot of good singers. She needs to control her over inflated ego other wise she needs be the one who should leave and not any one else.

I would like to see them sort out their differences and continue. I think i'd lose interest if someone else joined.

Mutya will rejoin... watch this space

Not another new member! Just become a duo. Jade would only quit in a couple of year!

Calling Jade a flop refers to her post Europvision solo single, which is out tomorrow (surprise) but which has had no radio support and doesn't look likely to set the charts on fire.
As s new solo pop artist, Jade looks likely to be a flop.

Sugababes would be better without Amelle... their music was so much more catchy without her with maybe a couple of exceptions such as 'About You Now' as that was pretty good. But the album with 'girls' on it is awful compared to all their others. I miss the good stuff like 'freak like me' and 'hole in the head'. Keisha and Heidi should carry on as a duo as they would be great!
And about Jade being a Eurovision flop, well, its ridiculous. She came 5th which is is right at the top end and compared to the past few years she done great! Keep up the singing Jade... you're an amazing star!

They are so much better than girls aloud.
I believe that keisha is being honest and i hope they stay together!

Actually there was 4 in destiny's child, then 2 dropped, so they added another 2, then there was 3 - get ur facts right. Sugababes have been going for ten years now, think the curtain's calling. Go solo, or find another career!

JADE WHO....EXACTLY!!!

By bille.. Posted September 20 2009 at 12:41 AM.
um..in what way is jade a eurovision FLOP?
am not exactly a fan of hers, but she did really well at eurovision - didn't she come like 7th or 5th or somewhere around there, that's much better than we've done in recent years!
By Carly.. Posted September 19 2009 at 11:11 PM.
So all the press reports over the weekend were total & utter ****? a big publicity stunt to gain interest in a girl group nobody cares about anymore?
Bye Sugababes you girls are a complete joke now.

By Sun.. Posted September 19 2009 at 9:51 PM.

By Tomer.. Posted September 19 2009 at 9:47 PM.
