2. Heidi is leaving the Sugababes

They've been saying Heidi will leave for ages. She has not most likely.

The Sugababes are reported to be on the brink of splitting-up, after cancelling a show on Saturday night just minutes before they were due onstage.

The pop trio pulled their sold-out gig at the Dublin Olympia little more than ten minutes before the gig was due to begin. They also called-off last night's scheduled concert.

According to a UK tabloid, the group had a "blazing row" backstage, prompting the cancellation. However, a spokesman for the Sugababes claims the decision was taken due to illness.

A 'source' told the Daily Mirror: "Two of the girls had a blazing row. It was chaos. They got on the first flights back to London, which is where they are now, and they're still not speaking.

"The problem is they spend so much time working together - and that causes friction."

However, the spokesman citied laryngitis as the reason for the last-minute decision. He claimed: "Two of the girls have acute laryngitis so the shows were cancelled."

He added: "They'll be rescheduled and tickets will still be valid. We will also offer full refunds. The rest of the UK tour is going ahead."

But I agree with you goody2shoes_23, it's probably BS

Apparently also Busted are on the verge of splitting -- Charlie wants a solo career.

So Westlife, Sugababes, Busted, and Atomic Kitten hit the dust?

I can't stand "detestlife" but I like the Sugababes.

I don't know how much is them, and how much is manufactured, but I like the music.

Talk of a split have been has rumoured for ages, because Mutya and Keisha have a secret language and leave Heidi out of conversation, this is thought to be the reason why Siobhan Donaghy left the group.

If Heidi leaves the Sugababes will probably carry on as a duo or replace her again.

It'll be sad becuase Heidi's the only one who looks human!

Sugababes are not the most talented, but without a doubt the coolest. They feel very with it and.... British!

I HATE Westlife! But i LOVE the Sugababes....

They are not manufactured by the way, but they held auditions to find HEIDI.

And what do u mean; HEIDI is the only one who looks normal? OMG! u cannot be dissin MUTYA, she is gorgeous, my fave!

To be onest, i dont beleive she will leave, it might just be rumours again!

If she DOES leave, they will replace her I think!

Id b gutted if she did leave tho'

I like the Sugababes music a lot, but if they do split soon, it won't be a huge surprise; they were originally meant to tour last autumn but it was cancelled and rescheduled for this current period, allegedly because of conflicts within the band. Now they are cancelling dates for this again... I hope it's not the end because as I said I do like their music, but it does all look a bit odd. Having said that, even if Heidi leaves, Keisha and Mutya will probably continue together, as they did so even before Siobhan had joined, so another third member leaving might not mean the end for the whole band.

As a whole, I really don't like Sugarbabes. They have catchy songs, though. But they're nothing special. They don't play their own instruments and I don't think they write the majority of their songs, either. As individuals, they're still pretty naff.

They can sing. But everybody can. They're just really another pop act ..

Westlife; even worse. I got sick to death when I saw 'Mandy' on every station, all the time. It really got to me. The majority of their songs are covers and they're all mad ugly. Talk about manufactured ..

Just because they don't play their own instrument does not make them any less of a pop act. Let's not forget they won Best British Dance Act last year at the Brits.

Finally someone else who thinks that mutya isn't ugly, she is hot! she is also my 'fave' although im not actually a fan, i just like watching them

I also think that these are just rumours, but sometimes rumours do lead to other things...

Oh my god, they write all their songs! They obviously didn't write Freak Like Me, cause it's a cover. and Too Lost In You wasn't written by them though! ITS THE ONLY SONG ON THE NEW ALBUM THAT ISNT!

Who cares if any band writes their own songs - provided the end result is the best it can be? [My opinion - I know this always causes controversy!]

Westlife splitting would be no great loss to the music landscape - give it 2 hours and a whole host of replacements will appear on the horizon. Any Sugababes split would be a different story... in my opinion, they are the only different and distinctive British group. And it doesn't hurt that Heidi is fit, either.

good riddance to westlife,who made me feel nostagia for boyzone for being slightly less crap.fans of this type of pap have no taste and on the whole are ignorant.i remember trying to explain to a boyzone fan that nearly all their songs were covers.because she didn't know who cat stevens,the bee gees(really!)and the osmonds are she concluded i was lying.sugababes freak like me was OK but gary numan's original are friends electric is better.

I expect the PC police to tip the "Bucket over PIV" but I reckon this disharmony in Sugarbabes is a RACE thing. The self same thing happened with Louise in that other 2 black 1 white outfit,this is just history repeating itself.
Eternal were told when they tried to break the US market "We could market you to the black radio stations better if you ditched the white girl "
Shockingly racist,yes,but terribly inevitable too.
Heidi is being "frozen out" by the 2 girl clique(again history repeats itself)which is a real shame.
I suppose being a 2 black one white outfit just doesn't seem to sit right in today's climate...laringytis my backside!!!!!!! I'd call it racism,an ugly thing in any way shape or form...."Feel the LOVE girlies"

I think in both of the cases you have mentioned it has more to do with friendship than race. In the case of Eternal there were two sisters in the band and apparently they didn't treat the others very well. The other black girl in the band (Kellie?) said that they were really horrible to her as well, especially after Louise left.

With the Sugababes both Mutya and Keisha have been friends for a long time, even before they started the band, and I think that's why it's been difficult for both of the other members. The fact that Keisha is supposed to be a right bitch doesn't help I guess!

Keisha is supposed to be the bitch? Ah right, interesting, Mutya always looks the potientially slightly evil one with the dagger eyes to me . I suspect it's mainly down to jealously, because Heidi gets most of the tabloid attention, because she's the "fittest", and probably the main reason she got in there, was to "sex them up".

Eternal are the perfect example of why they should keep their feelings under control, if they want to last the distance. After the sisters kicked out the black girl, the resulting negative publicity killed the sister's pop careers. Not to mention the other girl's career, perfectly demonstrated by the fact that we can't remember her name . I'm sure every time things kick off, their management team are saying to them "remember Eternal, remember Eternal". I guess eventually, sadly, it will all get too much though.

I've loved alot of the Sugababes tunes, especially "Freak Like Me" and "Round Round". But I've been alittle disappointed in the single output from the new album to be honest (haven't heard the album yet). "Too Lost In You" was brilliant, and I was disappointed that it only made about no.10. But the two faster tunes they've brought out, haven't been up to their usual exellent standard to me. I like "Hole In The Head", but I don't think it's brilliant, and was surprised it made no.1, thought it was more top 5. "In the Middle" has a chorus that I'm really starting to like, but the rest of it seems a bit dubious to me, especially some of the lyrics, "why can't the boys be the toys that...", errrrr, ok. Do they sound a bit naff to anyone else?

I think most people think Mutya is the worst 'cos like you say she looks evil, but I've heard that it's is Keisha who is the bitchiest despite her "butter wouldn't melt" looks. Heidi has definitely "sexed up" the band, especially as Siobhan often seemed to be uncomfortable being in this kind of "sexy" pop group. Can you imagine her being in a video like "In The Middle" ?

It was the white one "louise" who got booted because the two sisters esther and vernie wanted to go a more "r'n'b" route and didn't think Louisse did them any favours.

Then the two sisters kicked out Kellie because they wanted to do a sister duet type thing. They told the newspapers kellie was out the band before they even told kellie.

Eternal lost all their fans after that. Louise was kicking about for a while recently but has dissappeared again. God knows where Kellie is after her brief career.
