Whenever I hear goodbye... reminds me baby of you, Keisha (and Mutya... and Siobhan...)


Today is a sad day for British pop music.  For the third time, the Sugababes have lost a member-this time, the only remaining original member, Keisha Buchanan.  Although it appears that the band will go on with new member Jade Ewen, it seems like at this point the only honest thing to do is to give the band a new name.

The Sugababes were my original favorite British girl band.  Although I later switched to team Girls Aloud, I never deserted the 'babes, and in the past seven years, they've only other girl band to consistently rival (and often, even, surpass) the almighty Aloud.

In honor of their Outstanding contribution to pop music, and in mourning of this pop injustice, here are my top 5 all time Sugababes songs (although I could easily do top 10, 15, or 20...):

1. Hole in the Head (Album: Three  Lineup: 2.0)  The song that made me a fan.
2. Ace Reject (Album: Taller in More Ways Lineup: 3.0)  Best non-single.
3. Every Heart Broken (Album: Catfights and Spotlights, Lineup: 3.0)  Almost best non-single.
4. About a Girl (Album: unrealeased newest album, Lineup: 4.0???)
5. Freak Like Me (Album: Angels with Dirty Faces, Lineup: 2.0)
Bonus: About You Now (Album: Change, Lineup: 3.0)

The only hope now is that ex-members Mutya and Siobhan will realize what is good for them and recruit Keisha to reform the original Sugababes and take on the new lineup head on... let's see some real Catfights, girls....

  2. If Every Heart Broken had been single number one from Catfights, I can't help but feel things would be a lot different....
