Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan has warned that Amelle Berrabah may decide to quit the group.
Last week, it was claimed that Berrabah had been reported missing after being "bullied" by Buchanan. Both singers went on to deny the rumours on Twitter.
In a new interview with the News of the World, Buchanan has confirmed that there are problems within the band. However, she insisted that she is not responsible for the disputes.
Claiming that Berrabah has a habit of disappearing, she commented: "Every couple of months it will happen. At certain times there are people thinking they're bigger than the band.
"She'd blame it on [her ex-boyfriend] Freddie, she'd blame it on her family, on all sorts of things. But what's the excuse this time? Maybe she doesn't have the balls to say she wants to go."
The 24-year-old added: "She's thinking about leaving but I'm not going to be used as the scapegoat. These things make me stronger. I'm going to use this and write a killer song and I'm going to be fine."
Berrabah joined Sugababes in December 2005 as a replacement for Mutya Buena.

This can be merged with the other thread
Amelle Berrabah has allegedly quit the Sugababes, with widespread speculation suggesting that she is to be replaced by Jade Ewen.
According to Heatworld, the singer has parted ways with Keisha Buchanan and Heidi Range following rumours of a rift in the group - and the remaining members are believed to have already found an unlikely replacement in Eurovision star Ewen.
An insider said: "I've been told off the record that Jade is joining the Sugababes", while a statement from Jade's label has also hinted that there could be truth in the new speculation.
It reads: "Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we regret to inform you that Jade Ewen will be taking time off from all promotional activity for the foreseeable future."
As previously reported, rumours recently surfaced that Amelle was preparing to quit the Sugababes and had hinted that founding member Buchanan is to blame.
However, ex-member Mutya Buena has since spoken out in defence of Buchanan, insisting that the 24-year-old is not a "bully".

If its true then they need to just call it a day, they cant carry on like that all the time just replacing member by member its ridiculous.
Why does the name Jade Ewen ring a bell? Was she on X Factor or something?

she represented UK in eurovision in April. And she's about to realse her debut single "My Man".
to be honest if i was the manager of Sugababes i'd kick out the Keesha, she seems to be the one that causes all the problems and has made the others quit in the past. i love amelle, she's my favourite band member :(
Ah yes, I remember now.
Sugababes aren't the best girl band around. They've had numerous line up changes over the years. The should call it quits and go their separate ways.

This has came at a really awkward time! just as their about to get the new album out!
i hope Amelle tries going it solo and being the British Rhianna :cool:
This has came at a really awkward time! just as their about to get the new album out!
sell the thing i dont get is, it's a new albumn so what will Jade do exactly? sing songs they werent intended for her, sing songs on tour or in tv spots, that arent her voice on the albumn? she'd have to wait another 18 months or so before there's an albumn with her voice on it.
i guess that would mean bye bye to Jade's solo career/albumn, which is a shame as i was looking forward to that! mind you i did wonder whether she'd have much sucess, at least with Sugababes she might go far.

Amelle would have to. Jade wouldn't get a penny if her voice wasn't on it.
What if Jade rerecords a single when it's released from the album?

would they do that? i dunno it's just so confusing. why would Amelle leave at such a ridiculous time? like fair enough after the albumn, but now is so sudden, she could have had it in her mind to leave after the albumn and plan her solo career in the mean time.
now shes alone and will have to rush her solo plans before she goes out of the limelight. for what it's worth she's my favourite sugababe.

Have they just changed members once? or more?

18-09-2009, 23:01
This is the 3rd new member, first Siobhan left, then Mutya and now Amelle.
I think they should have released Jades album before she officially joined Sugababes, then we would see her talent as a solo artist, rather than being in the shadow of the other two.
I cant believe shes been with them since 05, I thought it was shorter than that

Hasn't Amelle always seemed to bring drama to the group since the minute she first joined the group, and didn't something happen last year with her ex, involving the police.
Singer Amelle Berrabah is reported to have quit chart act Sugababes - the third person to have left the band over the years.
The all-girl trio, which has topped the chart six times, is said to have recruited former UK Eurovision entrant Jade Ewen to replace her.
The band's spokeswoman would not comment on reports about any personnel changes.
Round Round hitmakers Sugababes are often said to have had a volatile relationship and Siobhan Donaghy - the first person to leave the band in 2001 - said in a recent interview: "There was no doubt that I was pushed out."
She was replaced by Heidi Range in 2001 in time for the band's run of number ones. Then founder member Mutya Buena left in 2005, to be replaced by Berrabah.
Berrabah's departure was reported by the heatworld.com website.
The group, known for a string of raunchy videos, first charted in 2000 with number six hit Overload. They are currently at number eight in the UK charts with the single Get Sexy.

Honestly that could be anyone of them in my mind.
It could be time for the group to end and if Keisha is supposed to be a bully like the papers claim maybe she should go solo if she thinks she is that good.
I don't know what happened to the band member Siobban as her leaving happened so long ago, But I remember Mutya as I liked her debut single she released some years back maybe Amelle will be able to do something now she is a solo act. I can't believe that their still going if the truth be known.

Why not get rid of Keisha she is the one with the problem. Having conflict with one band member can be put down to a clash of personalities but now that is two members left because of her, it's time the managment kicked her ass out the door.

:lol: lol!!!! theres only one person in that photo with werid clothesyour on about Siobhan, she was in the band in the beginning.
Keisha Buchanan has quit the Sugababes and will be replaced by Eurovision star Jade Ewen, it has been confirmed.
The 24-year-old, who was the only surviving original member of the band, will remain with Island Records as a solo artist.
The group have been the subject of tabloid speculation after Amelle Berrabah reportedly went missing two weeks ago, with reports claiming that Buchanan had been bullying the singer.
Berrabah has since denied the allegations; however media interest intensified following reports that Ewen had flown over to join the group.
An official statement reads: "The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded.
"Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah will continue as the Sugababes and will be joined by new member Jade Ewen. They release their album Sweet 7 on November 23rd through Island Records.
"Keisha Buchanan will continue to record for Island Records as a solo artist."
Sugababes rose to fame with debut single 'Overload' in 2000. Siobhan Donaghy was the first to leave the group in 2001 and was replaced by former Atomic Kitten singer Heidi Range.
Amelle Berrabah joiend the group in December 2005 following the depature of Mutya Buena.
The group have enjoyed 24 Top 40 singles, six albums and greatest hits Overloaded - The Singles Collection.

I cannot believe she has left, it does just show that it was probably her causing all the trouble within the band, but there it 1 thing that I am wondering she was the last original member, so shouldn't they change the name as they're aren't any original Sugababes left in the band.

Keisha Buchanan is the talented member - she is the lead singer and songwriter
With Keisha gone they should just give up! I never really took to them with amelle in it.
Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan claims she was forced out of the group.
The last original member to leave the band said: "It was not my choice to leave."
Buchanan, 24, is to launch a solo career following her departure after 11 years. She is being replaced by this year's Eurovision Song Contest entrant Jade Ewen, who joins Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah.
A statement on behalf of the group said: "The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded."
The band will press ahead with plans to release new album Sweet 7 on November 23.
Buchanan added: "I'm sad to say that I am no longer a part of the Sugababes. I've had a great time and have achieved more then I ever thought I would. Although it was not my choice to leave, it's time to enter a new chapter in my life."
The singer, who called herself "the feisty, funny, professional, fearless, motormouth", said: "I would like to state that there were no arguments, bullying or anything of the sort that led to this."

Former Sugababe Mutya Buena has taken a dig at Heidi Range for failing to support Keisha Buchanan.
Following yesterday's announcement that Keisha, 24, had been booted out of the pop trio, Mutya dragged Heidi into the debate over Twitter.
She wrote: “I will say this publicly... shame on Heidi for not following Keisha out. But doesn't surprise me a bit. x.”
Describing the days as an original member of the Sugababes alongside Keisha and Siobhán Donaghy aged just 13, Mutya also tweeted: “It all started so innocently...a love for music and a dream...look what it’s become. RIP”.
Heidi, 25, was brought into the band after the depature of Siobhán in 2001, but described Mutya, 24, as a firm friend until the brunette left for ‘personal reasons’ in 2005.
And as the original members stick together, Heidi has remained tight-lipped over the whole debaucle.
angel_eyes87
23-09-2009, 00:23
So was Keisha the one who wrote all their hit singles?
And if she was, were does that leave the others, I mean they should rename the band, because the originals have left, or is this like the Pussycat Dolls (going from about 20 to 5 and from stageshow to worldwide phenomenom).
I went to School with Heidi, I didn't know her but the stories I heard she seemed so down to earth (true Scouser and proud of it), so whether fame has gone to her head, or Keisha and Mutya are using her as a scapegoat, then shame on them.:hmm:
SILENT assassin HEIDI RANGE has emerged as the chief plotter behind the events which tore apart the SUGABABES.
The Scouser brokered a secret deal with AMELLE BERRABAH to see off their bandmate KEISHA BUCHANAN.
Well, they say it's always the quiet ones.
The pair then approached Eurovision star JADE EWEN about joining the group.
Sugababes - who The Sun yesterday dubbed the Cockroaches Of Pop for surviving three line-up changes - recently signed a multi-million Pound deal with JAY-Z's label Roc Nation.
But Heidi felt they stood more chance of success in the US with someone new and enthusiastic - not Keisha, who rubs people up the wrong way.
A source said: "Keisha clashed with Amelle since she joined.
"Heidi did not want to be in a position where a big bust-up might arise while they're promoting their material Stateside.
"So she persuaded management a less headstrong character would be better suited to the group."
But the decision to bin Keisha and draft in Jade, is going to hit the group, who had a No1 hit with Push The Button, where it hurts most - their bank balances.
They have had to book emergency round-the-clock studio time so Jade can re-record Keisha's vocals for album Sweet 7, which is due out on November 23.
Keisha has received a sizeable pay-off, thought to be in the six figure region.
It's a messy and expensive business. I hope it's worth it.

I am just waiting to see them fail miserably, I havent enjoyed Sugababes since Mutya left, because she had a raw talent.
I wonder if Keisha and Mutya decide to get together, that would make an amazing duo.
Didnt Keisha start the band and name the band so how could she be axed?

Didnt Keisha start the band and name the band so how could she be axed?
It's business, plus they are with a different record label than what they started with.
But Keisha and Mutya made the name originally, so they would have to have her sign a contract so she won't sue for rights of the name back.
What's the beating Keisha, Mutya and Siobhan will reunite sometime in the future and call themselves the Sugamamas? :D :hmm:
Sugababes will perform their first live show with new member Jade Ewen in Glasgow next month, according to reports.
The group are scheduled to play at the first Scottish Royal Variety Performance in the city's Royal Concert Hall on October 8.
"We're delighted that the Sugababes are performing. It promises to be a fantastic evening," organiser Helen Forrest told the Daily Record.
Two previously scheduled performances at Vicar St. and Storehouse on September 24 have been confirmed as "not applicable" on the group's MySpace page.
Earlier this week, only surviving original member Keisha Buchanan was ousted from the group after weeks of speculation about the band's future.
The group were recently confirmed to play at T4's inaugural 'Stars of 2009' concert in London on November 29.

I wonder if Keisha and Mutya decide to get together, that would make an amazing duo.
Mutya Buena has claimed that she would be interested in reuniting with the original members of Sugababes.
Buena said that it would be "amazing" to reteam with her old bandmates Siobhán Donaghy and Keisha Buchanan in the future.
"Well you know, we're all grown up. I haven't been with the Sugababes for so long, and you know, I've had my years of growing up and learning about what I want in life and getting to look after my daughter," she told GMTV.
"So hooking up with the rest of the girls - I think that could be an amazing idea, definitely."
Buchanan, who was the only original member of the girl group, confirmed that she had split from the band earlier this week. She has been replaced by British Eurovision star Jade Ewen.
Commenting on the new lineup, Buena said: "Personally, I just don't think the Sugababes is the Sugababes anymore. I mean, it would be different if Keisha had stayed in it and someone else had gone - then it would be the Sugababes. But wow, I suppose now there's no original Sugababes we should just all reform again."
Buena left Sugababes four years ago, while Donaghy quit in 2001. They were replaced by Amelle Berrabah and Heidi Range respectively.

Founding member Keisha 'refused to work with Amelle'
Keisha Buchanan was forced out of the Sugababes after she offered her management and record company the ultimatum: 'It's me or Amelle'.
A source close to the band told the Daily Mail that the 24-year-old singer's plan backfired, however, with Heidi Range refusing to side with her.
Our insider revealed that when it came to deciding who Jade would replace, Heidi refused to take Keisha's side, leaving the final decision to industry bigwigs.
The source said: 'Keisha insisted she would leave the band if Amelle was still in it. So, she gave them the "it's her or me" ultimatum.
'At first, they didn't quite know what to do and consulted Heidi. She refused to take either side and refused to gang up with Keisha to push Amelle out.'
'Keisha thought she would get her way in the end as she was the only original member of the band left but her plan back fired and they refused to get rid of Amelle.
'Keisha was asked one final time if she wanted to stay in the band with Amelle still in the line-up but she refused.'
'There will be a lot less hassle now that she has gone. She pushed herself out really and is already regretting her decision.'

I wonder how the new album sound now, without Keisha whether its better or just plain terrible.
Keisha should start working with Mutya, now they would be amazing together again!!

Heidi Range has finally revealed why Keisha Buchanan got booted out of the Sugababes.
The blonde Sugababe said the atmosphere between her, Keisha and Amelle Berrabah had been bad for months and the band “couldn't work together any more".
Keisha was officially axed this week to make way for Britain's former Eurovision hopeful Jade Ewen, 21.
Heidi, who replaced Siobhan Donaghy in 2001, is now the longest-established member of Sugababes.
The 26-year-old explained the band needed a new direction after the women found it hard to work together.
Heidi said: "It suddenly came to a head last week. Me and Amelle knew we couldn't move forward the way it was.
"We couldn't work together any more. But we did not want to throw away what we had achieved and split up.
"None of us were happy. We had to make a decision.
"Things have not been good for a few months."
It has been reported that Keisha "bullied" the other members of the group - a claim she denies – but Heidi said she would not "tell tales" on her former bandmate.
"I'm not going to say anything bad about Keisha. I'm not going to start telling tales because I have too much respect," she said.
Heidi added that she, Jade and Amelle had vowed not to let arguments get in the way of the band's progress.
"We've said that if there are any problems, we will talk about it like adults and get over it," she said.
Jade has started re-recording Keisha’s vocals on forthcoming album Sweet 7, already filmed the video for the band's next single About A Girl.

"Keisha's jealousy is tearing the band apart. They won't be able to keep working together - they may break up after this single...They always got on well, but it's all changed since Amelle's been doing solo work. She's been offered loads of great stuff - Chris Brown wants to work with her and Justin Timberlake asked her to do a duet with him. As soon as Keisha heard about that, all hell broke loose...They had a PHYSICAL FIGHT over it, like a proper PUNCH UP. Amelle tore out one of Keisha's hair extensions (well she did do that before) and then left...they didn't speak for two weeks and amelle just stayed at home. She's really depressed. Basically Keisha has been making Amelle's life hell for the past two months. Keisha would ignore her or CALL HER A BOY :rotfl: because of her short hair".

She’s only been in the band two days and already new Sugababe Jade Ewen is making enemies.
Jade told the Metro newspaper, 'I don't really like Lily Allen. She's not that talented and she's always slagging people off which seems unnecessary.'
The Eurovision singer also spoke out about being dropped by record company Sony, saying, 'They pretended to be my friends and then suddenly out of the blue an office assistant called me up and said it was over.
'I heard nothing more. I was so miserable. I tried everything afterwards and worked as a receptionist but I thought there is no way I can do this for the rest of my life. I just knew from being a teenager all I wanted to be was a star.’

Everyone knows that Lily Allen speaks her mind, most people just laugh at what she says, but you should never start a war with Lily Allen, because most probably you will lose.
I never knew she was dropped, she had a new album supposedly coming out.:hmm:
I sense there will be drama within the band by the end of the year, when they decide to do another album, whether they have the skill to make good music, I know they have good producers, but it all depends on the writer and they now have a new writer within the band.

But it won't be Sugababes anymore, even if there is a new member because alot of people liked keishas voice, as she sang lead in a majority of the songs. The new version of the song sounds awful, I prefer Keisha's version as it sounds as if she isn't trying too hard to sing, were as Amelle is screaching out the lyrics at the beginning (I think it's Amelle)
it sounds like the girls are a lot happier now and that there's some harmony in the group. i like the first two tracks off this albumn, and Jade fits in with this sexy new image for the group (let's face it Keesha was no looker). I think it's good to breath fresh air into old groups like that sometimes, and I for one am in full support of them and will be buying their albumn! :D

Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah has reportedly sparked a new row with her bandmates.
The 25-year-old singer had a heated argument with Heidi Range and the group's latest recruit Jade Ewen at a photoshoot on Friday, The Sun claims.
It is thought that the promotional shoot had to be delayed for two hours after Range and Ewen became annoyed by Berrabah's phone ringing constantly.
A source said: "The others were kept waiting and got increasingly wound up. Heidi has seen it all before but Jade just wanted to get on and get the job done.
"Their management had to come down hard on the girls and tell them to behave."
The band's new lineup was launched last month after Keisha Buchanan was axed following rumoured bust-ups with her fellow singers.
Range has previously vowed that Sugababes will behave "like adults" if problems arise in the new-look group.

The Sugababes may have cancelled their first live performance together, but Jade Ewen has been quick to squash rumours that it's anything to do with trouble in the group. The girls were lined up to perform at the Scottish Royal Variety Show tomorrow but have dropped out at the last minute. The newest member told The Sun, ‘I haven’t signed a contract so we can’t perform as the Sugababes. The previous line–up signed up to do the show and there’s money involved. Until lawyers get this sorted, I can’t sing with the band.’
Just read this official statement from the Sugababes from their news feed on facebook:
Unfortunately, Amelle has been forced to take an unexpected short break away from the pressures of work, following some professional medical advice earlier this week. It seems that with all the recent events in the band right up to Jade joining us a few weeks ago, the stress over a period of months has unfortunately taken its toll on Amelle and she is now suffering from a severe bout of nervous exhaustion.
For the next 3 weeks, Amelle will be staying at a private health clinic in Europe where she will be able to rest and recuperate under expert supervision. We’re expecting her to return to work in full health by the beginning of November. Heidi: “Both Amelle and I have been through a very traumatic time together in recent months and particularly over the past few weeks. Having the opportunity to move forward with Jade was a major factor in us both deciding to carry on as Sugababes. And judging from the thousands of well wishes we have received from you, our fans, we are delighted that we made the right decision. However, the months leading up to that decision certainly took their toll, especially on Amelle, and it seems like it’s now all caught up with her.
Jade: “We’ve got a hectic schedule of promotional commitments ahead of us to launch our next single on 9th Nov and the album on 23rd Nov. We’re about to go into the run up to Christmas, so we’re glad that Amelle is getting the right support now to help her return to work at such a busy time.
Unfortunately, this means that our fans expecting to see our debut live performance at Leeds this Sunday for Aire FM will be disappointed by the band not being able to perform. However, we will still be coming up to meet our Leeds fans and send on your well wishes to Amelle. We’re also sad to be missing out on a TV show that we were due to perform in Germany this Saturday but our label are trying to re-book this for November.
Although we know this news all comes as a huge disappointment to Sugababes fans, we really do have to treat Amelle’s welfare as our priority at times like this. She has the love and support of everyone around her including family, friends, bandmates and the label and we’re sure our fans will join us in wishing her a speedy recovery.
Lotsa luv,
Heidi & Jade

and the story is running on Digital Spy, poor Amelle :( :
Sugababe Amelle Berrabah has been forced to take a break from the group after being diagnosed with a severe bout of nervous exhaustion.
The singer, who replaced Mutya Buena in December 2005, has been struggling to cope with recent changes in the band, which saw Jade Ewen replace original member Keisha Buchanan last month.
The group have cancelled upcoming performances in Leeds and Germany to promote new single 'About A Girl' and album Sweet 7.
"Amelle has been forced to take an unexpected short break away from the pressures of work, following professional medical advice," a statement reads.
"As a result of recent events within the band, culminating in a change of lineup, the prolonged duration of stress has unfortunately taken its toll on Amelle and this has led to her suffering from a severe bout of nervous exhaustion.
"She is expected to return to work in full health by the beginning of November.
"Fellow band members, Heidi Range and Jade Ewen, are fully aware of the decision and are both totally supportive of Amelle and the decision taken."
Manager Mark Hargreaves added: "Although this news will come as a huge disappointment to Sugababes fans, we really do have to treat Amelle's welfare as a priority at times like this.
"I have spent a lot of time with her family this week and we have taken the advice of specialists whose job it is to bring Amelle back to full health.
"She has the love and support of everyone around her including family, friends, bandmates and the label and we are sure that fans will join us in wishing Amelle a speedy recovery."
Berrabah is expected to receive medical attention at an undisclosed private health clinic in Europe.
Sugababes were recently forced to cancel an appearance at the Scottish Royal Variety Show in Glasgow because of "legal issues" surrounding new member Ewen.

Mutya Beuna is begging her former bandmates to reform the original line-up of the Sugababes.
The singer has spent hours on the phone in the past few days, trying to convince Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy to reunite with her.
An insider said: "Siobhan met up with Mutya for the first time in ages over the summer and they got on well. Now Mutya is convinced the original three could be huge again.
"She was on the phone all last weekend trying to convince the girls to reform. Siobhan's considering it."
Keisha – who was the last founding member of the girl group to leave last month – is also eager to reconcile with her former friends.
Another source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: "Mutya is very keen to do this. Keisha has her solo career on the go, but she feels more comfortable as part of a band.
"There were arguments in the past, but all three realise it was because they were young, headstrong and finding fame hard to cope with."
Keisha, Siobhan and Mutya formed the group in 1998. Siobhan was replaced by Heidi Range in 2001 and Amelle Berrabah – who is currently being treated for nervous exhaustion in hospital - took over from Mutya in 2005.
Jade Ewen was given Keisha's spot last month.
The original line-up is now reportedly planning to reform in time for the release of the Sugababes’ new album 'Sweet 7' on November 23.

Keisha Buchanan has said that she does not have any hard feelings towards her former Sugababes bandmates.
The singer was forced out of the group last month and replaced by ex-Eurovision singer Jade Ewen.
Buchanan told The Mirror: "I've cried so many tears. I'm over the worst. I believe I am stronger for it all.
"The girls are my friends. I'm certainly concerned about them and wish them only the best. There's no hard feelings with the girls, it's time to move on. I don't want to cry."
She added: "I'm doing fine - I've been focusing on my solo project and my new look. I've been to Paris Fashion Week and I had the best time.
"I'm really excited about 2010. I'm in the studio working out my new sound and I'm finally okay with things. I have learned to smile again."
Buchanan has ruled out a possible reunion with other former Sugababes Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy.

I think she is going to have to accept what has happened at some point as it's not like she can go back to the group again. She can only look forward now and hope to carve out a solo career now or start a new group.
Sugababe Amelle Berrabah is reportedly "feeling better than ever and ready to come home" after being treated for nervous exhaustion in a private clinic in Europe.
The singer, who was ordered by medical professionals to take a three-week break from the group, is expected to fly back to Britain on Thursday.
"Amelle is over the moon to be leaving the hospital at last," a source told the Daily Star.
"She feels like a new person and can't wait to get back to work and put this sad situation behind her.
"The clinic's programme includes acupuncture, as well as group therapy sessions, building up confidence and tackling insecurities.
"Amelle's been doing a lot of exercise like hiking and running and said she's in a good place. She's ready to move forward with her life and get back to work with the band."
The group are expected to resume promotional duties for their new single 'About A Girl', including performances for GMTV, Radio 1's Live Lounge and T4.
Sugababes recently postponed the release of their new album Sweet 7 until February next year.

Brit pop trio the Sugababes have been forced to push back the release of their latest album Sweet 7 to give new member Jade Ewen more time to learn all the new songs.
The Eurovision star was drafted in to replace founding member Keisha Buchanan in September after her bandmates Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah decided they wanted to carry on the band without her.
The line-up change happened just two months before the band were set to release its seventh studio album - the trio's first record since signing to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label.
The release date was initially postponed from 9 November until 23 November, but fans will now have to wait until February to get their hands on the new album.
Original Sugababe members Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy are currently holding talks to reform as a group, a new report has claimed.
According to Holy Moly, the three singers are said to be in discussions with record company Warner and have also been offered three seperate solo deals.
The label is reportedly eager for the trio to record new music with producers including William Orbit and Stuart Price.
The original lineup rose to fame with single 'Overload' in September 2000 and released album One Touch.
Donaghy quit the group a year later and was replaced by Heidi Range. Amelle Berrabah joined in December 2005 after the departure of Buena.
Buchanan became the last original member to leave the group in September 2009. She was replaced by Jade Ewen.
The 25-year-old recently ruled out getting back together with Buena and Donaghy, claiming that it was "not in our plans at all".
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a185018/report-original-sugababes-reforming.html
Warner Records has denied claims that it approached the three original Sugababes about reuniting.
Reports yesterday suggested that the label had offered Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy a group deal and individual solo contracts.
"We haven't seen them here or heard anything about it. I don't think they've got the story right," a statement reads.
The first lineup rose to fame in 2000 with 'Overload' and released album One Touch together. Siobhan quit the group a year later, followed by Mutya Buena in December 2005. Keisha Buchanan became the last original member to leave in September.
Island Records, the current Sugababes label, has yet to comment on the reports.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a185162/warner-denies-original-sugababes-reunion.html
Keisha Buchanan's manager has rejected reports that the singer could reunite with former Sugababes bandmates Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy.
It had been suggested that the trio could reform the group's original lineup, though record label Warners denied approaching them about a comeback.
Buchanan's manager told BBC Newsbeat: "Keisha is definitely, 100% not going to be involved in any kind of Sugababes reformation.
"Keisha has solo projects that she's working on which will be out next year."
Buchanan had previously used Twitter to deny reports of a reunion, while Buena was said to be keen on the mooted comeback.
The current Sugababes lineup features Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and new addition Jade Ewen, none of whom were in the group when it was formed in 1998.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a185185/buchanan-100-percent-not-involved-in-reunion.html
Sugababes have announced that they will release their upcoming album Sweet 7 in Germany on December 4.
The record, which includes singles 'Get Sexy' and 'About A Girl', is currently expected to be released three months later in the UK on March 8.
The trio teamed up with producers including RedOne, Stargate and The Smeezingtons for the album, which also features a collaboration with Sean Kingston called 'Miss Everything'.
The group resumed promotion for their new single 'About A Girl' this weekend after Amelle Berrabah returned from a health clinic in Europe following treatment for nervous exhaustion.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a185944/sugababes-album-given-early-german-release.html
The founding members of the Sugababes have reportedly hired Peter Andre's manager Claire Powell to helm a comeback.
According to The Sun, Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy met last week and have decided to move ahead with a planned reunion.
A record label source said: "The comeback is gathering momentum.
"Mutya had a lot of convincing to do to get the girls around the table to sort things out. That happened last week and they are all game to give it a go."
They added: "Mutya's manager knows he needs some muscle to make it a commercial success and he's called in his old pal Claire.
"The other girls are delighted to be back in touch. They are bang up for it with the new management team. They are now looking for a record deal and have started planning for a big launch next year."
Earlier this month, Buchanan's manger said that the singer is concentrating on her solo career and "is definitely, 100% not going to be involved in any kind of Sugababes reformation".
The current Sugababes lineup of Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen are recording brand new material for inclusion on their upcoming Sweet 7 album.

I wonder what they would call themselves? I hope they are a success, I used to love the old line up of Sugababes :thumbsup:
Sugababes have revealed that the original lineup would not legally be allowed to use their name if they decide to reform.
However, the 'About A Girl' trio claimed that Siobhan Donaghy, Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan would still be able to perform songs from One Touch, the only album to include all their vocals.
"They could still perform them, but they can't use the name because it belongs to our record company who we signed to," Heidi Range told Real Radio.
"They wouldn't be allowed to use any of the songs except 'Overload', it would be like doing a cover," Amelle Berrabah said.
Latest recruit Jade Ewen played down reports that the original lineup are planning to reunite and insisted that she is not worried about the competition.
"Keisha just put on Twitter that she 100% is not reforming, but I think even if they do there is enough room for everyone, we wish them the best of luck," she said.
"We're not out to look for trouble, we're just getting on with what we're doing and enjoying ourselves," Range added.
Sugababes recently revealed that they are recording more new material for their upcoming album Sweet 7, which is scheduled for release in March.

Sugababes have revealed that they have recorded a cover version of Christmas song 'Santa Baby'.
The group, who are currently promoting new single 'About A Girl' (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/singlesreviews/a185326/sugababes-about-a-girl.html), announced that the song will be distributed around radio stations but not made available for release.
"We are not releasing it as a single, we are giving it out to radio stations. It's just for people to listen to over Christmas," Heidi Range told the Daily Record.
"It is a soulful version of 'Santa Baby' and then the album is out in March."
The trio, who scooped the 'Best Band' award at the Radio Forth awards in Edinburgh, revealed that they finished recording the track in their hotel room in the Scottish capital.
"We always mess around with our voices. We were getting ready for this show, our sound man set up his gear and we added more vocals to it in our room in the Balmoral Hotel. So it was finished in Scotland," Range said.
Sugababes release new album Sweet 7 in March.
Keisha Buchanan is reportedly suing the current Sugababes in an attempt to stop the band from using its name.
Buchanan was asked to leave the band last year and was replaced by Jade Ewen. The move meant that none of the original Sugababes members were still involved in the band.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Buchanan has now launched a legal bid to claim a stake in the band, which she founded in 1998.
The High Court action reportedly demands that the current Sugababes members - Ewen, Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah - either change the group's name or pay her a one-off sum, which could amount to millions of pounds.
"This is a landmark case and will send shockwaves through the industry," a source said. "The Sugababes are one of the most successful girlbands of all time, but if they are forced to change their name it would be absolutely disastrous for them.
"It would be very hard for them to maintain any credibility if they had no original band members and were called something else.
"Keisha was an integral member from the very beginning so it is easy to understand why she is acting like this. She even came up with the band's name with fellow founder member Mutya Buena and deserves something for making the Sugababes what they are today."
Range recently claimed that being in the Sugababes was "unbearable" before the lineup change.
Heidi Range has put rumours to rest on the future of the Sugababes.
Reports of a split started after rumours that the band had been dropped from their US label Roc Nation.
However, a recent message posted on the group's official website stated: "We have never been 'signed' to Roc Nation for a scheduled album release in America."
Range, who is currently promoting a new fitness class with Virgin, has now confirmed the band are not splitting up and recording new material.
She said: "That rumour has been flying around for the past nine years!
"If we were going to split up I'd just come out and say it but we're actually having a great time. We're off to India next week and then we're back in the studio to record some new tracks."

what fitness class is heidi doing?
Yesterday morning singer Heidi Range joined crowds of Zumba enthusiasts for an intense workout ahead of her wedding to Radio DJ Dave Berry next year.
The 26-year-old member of the Sugerbabes was participating in a special launch class at London’s Virgin Active Moorgate with the dance craze’s founder Beto Perez. Perez, who is originally from Columbia, has flown over from Miami for a 12-hour tour whistle-stop of the UK. Five gyms participated, with some 300 members joining the workout throughout the day.
“It was really, really fun!” Range enthused afterwards. “I’m not usually very good at motivating myself so classes work much better for me. The Zumba class with Beto didn’t even feel like exercise because it was so fun, much more like a dance class.”
“My body weight can fluctuate quite a bit so I need to watch what I eat. Because I’m so short, if I put on just a couple of pounds it really shows so I have to be very strict on myself! The wedding’s next year and I’m definitely going to Virgin Active in the lead up.”
Asked how her preparations for the big day were going, Range added: “All the planning is going really well so far and I went out the other week with some family and spotted this gorgeous dress that I loved. I’ve still got time though so I’ll keep looking.”

The Sugababes have insisted it's "business as usual" following news that former member Mutya Buena has won limited rights to their name.
It was reported yesterday that Buena, who left the band in 2005, won the rights to the group's name for a limited number of products, including stationery and gift wrap.
A spokesperson for the band said: "Heidi, Amelle and Jade would like to reassure their fans that it's business as usual for Sugababes.
"Over 4 months ago it was officially confirmed by the European Trade Marks Department that Sugababes were successful in claiming their ongoing right to use the name "Sugababes" for all areas of commercial activity that the band requires, namely within the music, sound recording and entertainment industry, as well as being granted extensive rights to produce a wide range of merchandise."
They added that Buena's category of ownership is an area that "currently holds no commercial interest for the band and, accordingly, the band has no immediate plans to challenge Ms. Buena for these rights."
Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah has apologised to fans after being convicted of assault.
The singer left scratch marks on Danielle Dodoo's neck after grabbing her in the VIP area of Alto - owned by Berrabah's boyfriend Tom Benn - in London's Soho, The Sun reports.
Dodoo had asked Berrabah to watch where she was going, which prompted the altercation, the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court heard.
"She was slurring," Dodoo said. "She kind of leaned up towards my face and said something like she was going to bite my nose off. She had her hand around my neck and it must have been there for a few seconds."
Berrabah denied common assault but was found guilty and let off with a conditional discharge after being ordered to pay £250 compensation. District Judge Michael Snow told her she had inflicted "nasty, unpleasant" injuries.
"Following my conviction for assault today, I would like to offer my unreserved apologies to the band's fans, my bandmates, our record label and my family," Berrabah said. "I fully respect the Court's verdict and am pleased that the Judge saw fit to impose only a sentence of conditional discharge.
"Although I was subjected to provocation on the evening in question I do not condone violence under any circumstances and would urge anybody who finds themselves in similar circumstances to show restraint and walk away."
Berrabah was charged with drink driving in 2010 and later given a 14-month driving ban.
The original Sugababes have reportedly secured a £1m record deal.
The trio have signed to Polydor Records - home to Take That and Lady GaGa - as they prepare for their comeback.
Rumours that the band were reforming surfaced last year when it was claimed that Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy were working on new material together.
It has since been confirmed that the girls have recorded a song written by Emeli Sandé. MNEK, Asterix, Craze & Hoax, Tanika, Mojam and Naughty Boy are also said to be involved with the project.
"They've been working on new material all year with some high-profile songwriters and producers," a source told The Sun.
"The label have started to pick tracks they think will help them be as big as they once were. This is a huge sign the industry thinks they've still got it."
The band are yet to decide what they'll be called since they don't own the rights to the Sugababes name. Buena won the rights to the name last year but the EU trademark only covers "paper, cardboard... stationery, paper gift wrap and paper gift wrapping ribbons".
Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen make up the current Sugababes.
Recent reports have indicated that the original Sugababes will release a single in the summer and a new album in the autumn.

The original Sugababes have reportedly renamed themselves Mutya Keisha Siobhan.
The trio are said to have decided on the new title after a legal trademark document surfaced online.
The first Sugababes lineup are due to release new music later this year after signing a record deal worth £1 million with Polydor, home to acts including Take That and Lady GaGa.
Emeli Sandé has also confirmed that she is working with the band, adding: "I just loved them when they first came out. I loved their sound, it was so cool. It was very different."
Producers MNEK, Asterix, Craze & Hoax, Tanika, Mojam and Naughty Boy are all rumoured to have contributed to the girl group's new album.

The original Sugababes have officially announced their reunion.
Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy have confirmed plans to release a new album later this year and have posted the first picture of themselves as a reformed trio.
"Dear tweeters ive been trying my best to keep this one on the DL haha @mutyabuena @siobhandonaghy @mksofficial," Buchanan revealed.
"It's been killing us to keep it secret any longer! @keisha_buchanan @MutyaBuena," Donaghy added.
"@siobhandonaghy @keisha_buchanan I think we should tell the world. WE'RE BACK!!! @MKSofficial," said Buena.
The girl group also confirmed that they will release music under the name Mutya Keisha Siobhan, after registering the trademark for the name late last month.
The three-piece have explained that when they first reformed they had to work on their harmonies, having not performed together since they were 16 years old.
"The first time we sang in a room together and worked out our harmonies and sang them together was recording a song called 'Too In Love'," Siobhan told Popjustice.
Buchanan added: "It was the first time we'd sang together since we were 16 years old. To be honest with you it wasn't an instant thing. When we were younger we gelled straight away, but we had to learn to blend with each other again.
"It was so special to be excited about hearing our voices together, and being excited about our music. On my days off I'd go home and I'd listen to the tracks. I'd be like, 'I'm really enjoying this'. I just enjoyed our music."
Mutya Keisha Siobhan will officially release their new music in the near future.

Sugababes singer Jade Ewen has confirmed to Digital Spy that the band "fizzled out" two years ago, saying: "I don't feel comfortable lying."
Ewen told us last month that the group are "pretty much done", but bandmate Amelle Berrabah claimed afterwards that they will all be "getting back together at the end of next year".
Speaking at the National Lottery Stars gala tonight (September 5), Ewen insisted that Sugababes have indeed split up and continuing to claim otherwise is "unfair to fans".
"This is a tricky one because I don't feel comfortable lying, saying we're in the studio recording and we're going to bring music out next year, which seems to be the favoured line," she said. "I think it's unfair to fans and we should be honest.
"The band being over is definitely not my choice. I kind of was unlucky in that I came in [to Sugababes] towards the end of the cycle when things naturally came to the end.
"There was so much drama surrounding the group, I think the music just got lost. I don't like all the drama and the negativity. We kind of fizzled out about two years ago."
Ewen also accepted that the numerous lineup changes "obviously" contributed to the downfall of Sugababes.
"I do think the lineup changes have obviously got to be a factor, you can't get away from it," she said. "I'd be lying if I didn't think the same when I was approached. I was like, 'Is this going to work? Are people going to accept it?'
"But I know it's a brand and the music industry isn't necessarily about making music."
Further addressing her decision to join Sugababes in 2009, Ewen hinted that she had been reluctant to give up on her solo career and commented that she "was just trying to survive".
"One day I'm hoping that I'll be able to put out a book and explain that whole chapter," she teased.
"I had to make a decision - a very difficult decision, because I was about making music and the creativity - when I realised that everybody was only interested in the business and that if I ever wanted to put out music I needed to take an opportunity in the short term.
"I was just trying to survive. I went from Eurovision to being told I had a solo deal to being told, 'You might be dropped'. I'd already had three deals before that and been dropped and it's heartbreaking. I basically thought, 'Alright, I'm going to go for it, see where it takes me'."
Asked if she felt she fitted into Sugababes, Ewen confessed: "I did feel to a certain extent that I got lost, but at the same time it was an amazing opportunity.
"It was almost like a dress rehearsal of being a popstar. But now it's time to move forward... Come on, I've done Eurovision, I've done Sugababes. If it's still hard, should I just give up?"
National Lottery Stars 2013, which celebrates the difference lottery-funded organisations make to local communities, airs Wednesday, September 11 at 10.30pm on BBC One.
