MKS, sugababes
Hello!
I was looking on the Polydor website to see if MKS were still signed as we are not hearing anything of substance from them at all, when I noticed a few lines underneath that Polydor also have the Sugababes as current artists :s. Does this mean maybe the band are back together? Just found it odd as Jade said the band had ended nearly 3 years ago |

As far as I was aware, Sugababes haven't ever been signed to Polydor so it's a little strange. Signed to London until 2001, Island until 2011 and then that deal with RCA.
I doubt AKH are back together, who are in the picture. Quite odd. |

Island and Polydor are under the same Universal Music umbrella. Basically they are all connected to the same music group.
I wouldn't read anything into this. |

But Sugababes weren't signed to Island when they split up so it doesn't make any sense lol. The picture being 3.0 rather than 4.0. I don't think there is any reunion happening with 3.0 though,

That's why this line up is probably still listed there. I agree its odd they are using an image of Keisha and not Jade but like I say, I wouldn't get too excited. |

Island are still their distributer for all the material recorded while on their books. So Island still make money from them despite them no longer being signed. They will get a percentage of earnings from royalties.

I'm certain I saw an item in Metro (I think) over the weekend that said MKS have now been dropped - but I don't see anything online about it.
Anyone know? |

It wouldn't surprise or bother me at this point. One single in almost two years is ridiculous.

I suspect if true there is an album already finished and mothballed at Polydor that may never see the light of day now.

One day Keisha gets kicked out of Sugababes, the next day/week the media are saying that everybody wants an original member reunion. So MKS see all these articles and maybe forums and tweets on how Sugababes hadn't been the same since Siobhan left, they were the best line-up. Understandably, MKS see all this positive reaction to the original line-up and decide to give it ago. The problem was, we waited almost a year for confirmation that they were getting back together, a month later the album was complete. It then took a year to get the debut single out, released badly, and it flopped. The reason? For me, it was all empty hype. Nostalgia is a brilliant thing, but they weren't the Sugababes that the majority supported, THE Sugababes line-up was Keisha, Mutya and Heidi, that is what everybody loved. People assumed that the group that took eight years to sell 200k copies 12/13 years ago would come back and be a hit. People wanted the reunion, until they got the reunion. Flatline flopped and Polydor seemingly pulled the plug because they signed a group based on media hype that amounted to nothing. They took too long, far far too long. All the hypocrisy didn't help. For 12/13 years, Keisha was Siobhan's first bully, they never got on and when they had a record to sell, Siobhan forgot all this. That would have been fine, but they didn't say "it was years ago, we've talked and it's all forgotten", she said it never happened and Keisha was never a bitch. Keisha said many times in Sugababes that they didn't truly become Sugababes until Heidi joined, she didn't feel comfortable until Heidi was in the band, again when they had a record to sell, Sugababes never felt like Sugababes after Siobhan left. |

The only thing they could do now is get all six together for a warts & all documentary and if that does well an "Ultimate Sugababe" tour. We know Jades up for it lol
ITV2 would eat this up. |

ITV2 would eat this up. The problem I can see is, I don't think it would be truthful. It would be the same stuff we've already heard, which contradicts what we are told at the time. |

In one way no news is good news I suppose - showing there is still some hope of appearances. Otherwise they may as well give up and just let the album release as cheaply as possible. |
