Did they have to ask the original lineup for the rights?

33.3% of them are. As long as Heidi is there i see no reason why they can't sing all the tracks from Angels with Dirty Faces, Three and Taller in More Ways.

I can't see them ever singing anything from their first album again though.

Back to this track though, I really like it

So why exactly was it okay for Keisha to sing songs from One Touch with the last line up? After all only 1/3 of the line up featured on the songs.

Heidi recorded (and co-wrote alot) of all the songs Sugababes done in the last 9 years and has EVERY right to use them whenever she wants. Besides which 'Freak Like Me' is a cover anyway so it's not like it was "thier song".

If it was okay for Heidi to sing Siobhans era and Amelle to sing Mutyas then it's fine for Jade to sing Keishas. The name Sugababes and the copyright to all the songs belongs to Island/Universal and it's up to them who gets to use it.

Agreed. It's nice to hear different takes on the songs with different singers. Plus Jade is infinitely a better vocalist than Keisha so I like hearing the songs with her.

Because Keisha was a part of the ORIGINAL line up, singing songs from the FIRST album that TRUE Sugababes fans loved.

There is not a chance that any song prior to this album will sound anywhere what the originals sounded like. Poor mans tribute band

That's absolute nonsense! Surely a "true" fan would support the group no matter what? Besides which (going by the fact that Angels sold nearly 5 x the amount of 'One touch') most of thier fans didn't even notice them until after 'One Touch'.

At the end of the day 4.0 have said they'll never perform 'One Touch' songs because they weren't a part of it. But if Keisha is allowed to do 'One Touch' then Heidi is allowed to do anything after 'Freak Like Me'.

It's funny how this supposed "poor mans tribute band" is getting constantly praised for being the best physically and vocally of all four line ups.

That's for that link.

They were great.
Vocally the best line-up I think.

& they will always be the Sugababes.
It's the same as The Pussycat Dolls.
Members come & go.

Is EastEnders still the same, as they don't have the original cast(?)

But if Sugababes 1 or even just Keisha, Mutya and some other girl formed, they aren't allowed to sing the hits apart from the very 1st album.

That analogy doesn't work I'm afraid as anyone who lives in the East End can describe themselves as an Eastender. Thus 'original' Eastenders (or cast) can move away, die etc whilst new ones are 'born' or 'move into the Square' without raising eyebrows.

There was a total of what, three/four songs from the One Touch era. Of which only one was ever really performed. The song that STARTED the group in the first place. She hardly did a whole show of the One Touch album so its not really much of a comparison really.
This group is going to be singing a multiude of songs that...aside from Heidi..never had ANY or MUCH part in. And that in fact cannot be justified.
This is not just going to be Freak Like Me, it's going to be so many other songs. I don't know how Jade and Amelle can feel comfortable going along with something that was never theirs to begin with. Especially considering the original members took so much part in the writing of their albums.

As for your last point...i've seen no praise from anyone anywhere except on here

I think they might be referring to loads of general post on here (not this particular thread) but I've read loads of post people saying they sound fantastic and from the link if you listen to the other songs they do 4 in total they sound fab.

I wasn't keen on the shake up again but the girls are good as ever and what i like most is the visable fresh energy they show and have for each other, now they always look like they're enjoying their performances.

A "fan" will like a group until they don't like them anymore. It's that simple. You don't stay a fan of groups for LIFE all the time. I loved GA when I was about 15 but now I can't stand them. Same for Sugababes, I've liked them since the beginning but now I just think they're a joke. Jade may be better vocally, but they've lost their "sound" and I'm just not interested in them anymore.

^^^Exactly. Liking a group isn't like supporting a football team or taking an oath 'to support them no matter what'. If former 'fans' decide they're not keen on 4.0, others need to either like it or lump it.

I've been a fan since the first album and I when Keisha got the boot I was shocked and wondered if the group would survive and I'm glad they did.

Heidi has every right to perform all the songs from when she joined. Before then, the band had been dropped and been written off as another pop failure. The version of 'Freak' is good and I for one think that since Jade joined the band have a renewed energy about them and I for one hope that the new album does well for them. Having heard it, I'm impressed it's packed full of good pop songs.

So the band have taken a new direction musically since version 1 and 2 but in order to be successful in the music industry artists have to reinvent themselves and thats all the Sugababes have done.
