Also, some tweets from Dan Wootton (NOTW Showbiz Editor)



danwootton: The Sugababes management were auditioning members and re--recording the album in LA this week BEHIND KEISHA'S BACK. WTF???


danwootton: Keisha was booted out of her own band. She is the voice of this band. I feel her treatment has been DISGUSTING. She did EVERYTHING she could


danwootton: She reached out to both Amelle and Heidi. Attempted to find out how she could change to make this work. She had never been cautioned before.

Just imagine if they reform!! My god, they could destroy the competition from the hype alone...

Completely stunned at the fact they've already re-recorded the album!!

Well she confirmed that she did not leave of her own accord. Wonder why she was 'forced out' then...

Never took to Keisha personally, but if these tweets are true, her treatment is absolutely appalling.

Another tweet from that Dan Wootton bloke:

danwootton: Keisha was told that Amelle is now the Sugababes. How deluded is that? She's the voice of the band, she wrote the songs. This is WRONG.

EDIT: danwootton: I can report Island Records have bn supportive of Keisha. That's the good news. This was driven by Heidi, Amelle and the band's management.

danwootton: Keisha stayed in LA to try and work this out. She was prepared to make compromises to the girls so the line-up could stay in tact.

erm, how does that work then? Auditioning and re-recording the album at the same time?

Could you imagine if the 3 original members all joined up together came back as another band and went head to head with the other Sugababes, that is something I would love to see!

Best of luck to the Girl, she deserves to do well. Also good luck to the other 3 babes.

RIP Sugababes!

I think they got offered that Eurovision girl and realised that she was too good to pass on and had to get rid of one.

Sugababes was Keisha's band, always. There's no way she'd want to leave. From what I've heard, she was only told after she found out through someone else and questioned her management about it.

I think she'll be devestated and the truth will come out in one of the Sunday papers or something.

Sorry, rant over.

They must have started the beginning of the week, and then Jade was chosen and she then recorded her bits... if you have all the lyrics and stuff in front of you it can be done very very quickly.

Something tells me that Jade is in for a bit of a rough ride over the next few weeks.

I'm actually shocked, glad something was confirmed but I'm worried about Jade, me personally I love her gutted Keisha is leaving but how will the hardcore fans react to the original member being kicked out? Some fans are still frosty towards Amelle.

Of course Island Records are supportive, she makes them the most money and drives the whole bloody band. When the girls' management doesn't do their job, she ends up doing it for them, and when the girls perform, she does most the singing. She's only 24 fgs, but is already a seasoned pro.

And Amelle being the voice of the band???

I'm actually amazed at that as she (and the others) seem to have been around for years on end.

i think Keisha speaking out is going to end the band if nothing else. There is going to be so much speculation now.

It seemed Amelle wanted to quit but it does look like the record compant wouldn't let her with the US deal it seems like Keisha was the one to go because of the rumours.....

Keisha doesn't want to leave but unless the three didn't get on why haven't Heidi and Jade walked out..... Can the girls sing Overload now at concerts.

Sugababes is obviously a brand and the name doesn't belong to Keisha. It can't make Heidi and Amelle feel safe. Interviews will be uncomfortable. Even if H,A & J are the dream team, I cannot se the band getting back this!

I was never a Keisha fan but that is horrible. The poor thing!

This is disgraceful! Keisha is THE sugababe, no one can ever replace her, f**k Amelle, shes nothing!!

No more Sugababes!

can we bring yesterday back around??

I hope they fail now.
I just about stuck with them after Mutya left but now with Keisha gone I'm done. Maybe if they replaced her with someone other than a horse I may have changed my mind.

I was not expecting Keisha to quit!

Gosh this is shocking! Can I suggest a new name for the band? The Replacements?

How funny if Siobhan, Kiesha and Mutya all formed their own band now! LOL!

This is serious shit!


"I can report Island Records have bn supportive of Keisha. That's the good news. This was driven by Heidi, Amelle and the band's management".

Things must have been bad even between Heidi and Keisha....

Keisha's trending on Twitter.

WTF? How can they kick Keisha out of the Sugababes, she's the only original left in the band. :/

It's not fair, Amelle has only been in the band 5 minutes and she's involve in calling the shots.

Tbh, they were only good imo when it was Mutya, Keisha and Heidi. Since Mutya left, it's been ok but not the same since.
