No original members left :lol: haha what a joke
i'm so glad shes gone now and i hope her solo efforts flop - nasty peice of work!!!!
yay amelle and jade in the same group :D
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.
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 think the story of the Sugababes would make a great movie to be honest! :D
I'd definetly see that:lol:
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?
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.

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.

Skip to 3:10 for the bit about the babes
more like the sugalessbabes :lol:
omg everything seems to happen so quickly
its all go this week!
I'm interested to see how the new format sounds, because Keisha was the only one who had a great voice in the band.
im in a proper sugababes mood atm, i think the fact Jade Ewen (who i really like) has joined, makes it all the more exciting!!!
Jade is an amazing talent, but I am interested how they sound when they sing, who has the lead vocals etc...
But the Sugababes were never the same from when Mutya left, because they replaced her with someone who never fitted the songs of Sugababes.
Its true what she said though, I mean I know bands do become brands but its not like the sugababes anymore
I suppose, the only thing thats keeping me is the that for me, I never knew that siobhan or whatever her name was in the band, I just remember it being the blonde one in it and not the other one.
I never really listened to them until Heidi joined, I remember everyone talking about in school, they were amazing when Heidi joined, but when Mutya left it never felt like the same band, and it definetly doesn't seem like the same band now.
how can they realy be the same band if there is not one original member?

with her as the lead singer it's going to be good times ahead! :D
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.'
OMG all the drama!!
I know how exciting ha!
They so need to bring out a book, because you couldn't write the drama that has gone on within the band. We always suspected that Keisha was a bully and that Amelle caused alot of trouble.
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!!
