Potential talking point, if you could make a greatest hits album, and a tour set list featuring any of the four line-ups (or even a combination of all 6 members), what would it look like?

My greatest hits would have every single from Overload to Flatline in release order on one disk, a remix disk with Overload, Run For Cover, Freak, Stronger, Hole In The Head, Too Lost In You, Push The Button, About You Now, No Can Do and About A Girl re-recorded by all six members. Maybe a third disk of b-sides, demos and unreleased tracks.

My set list would be:

Put in spoilers for length and the brackets are just meant to be a bit of a laugh.

I loved the Sugababes from the word go, but for me they never made a truly great album, I always felt each album was packed with killer singles and the rest being made up of filler.

My Top 5 singles

1. Stronger
2. Soul Sound
3. Change
4. Freak Like Me
5. Ugly

How come every 'discussion' about the Sugababes legacy degenerates into a tit for tat about who bullied who and whether Heidi could sing? It may have been worth noting the first time but with the signs up that there will be no more Sugabsbes music., it's maybe about time we actually discussed the legacy.
Because there are a lot of people out there who fail to acknowledge Heidi and her impact on the band, usually certain hardcore MKS fans who seemingly forget she was actually in the band much longer than Siobhan and Mutya. The only time "who bullied who" has been referenced was pointing out fact, as Siobhan has repeatedly stated she left due to bullying, and we know that Heidi was bullied to.

My favourite singles are:
1) Stronger
2) Caught In A Moment
3) Ugly
4) Hole In The Head
5) Too Lost In You

With honourable mentions to Overload, Freak Like Me and Denial. No Can Do and About a Girl were songs I wasn't keen on at release, but as time has passed I've come to see them for the great tracks they are.

To be fair, I think it was cashing in on their hard work since the age of 13 Mutya had a problem with rather than success. I'm not sure Keisha ever actually had a problem with Heidi either, I think it was loyalty to Mutya and the friendship they had before Heidi. It's funny how by the time Mutya left, it was her and Heidi who were closer and Keisha went in on Mutya after she left (revealing Mutya hadn't actually written anything on TIMW except Follow Me Home but they gave her credit anyway) and a really awkward Popworld interview just after Amelle joined (I miss Popworld with Simon and Miquita too) where they were asked what the group was missing now Mutya had left and K+H just kind of blankly looked at each other until one of the hosts came up with a suggestion.

Back to the topic, I do miss the Sugababes. A brilliant pop group with fantastic singles and album tracks. Each member brought something and I think Sweet 7 wasn't half as bad as was made out. I also think a hell of a lot of people stating the album wouldn't have happened if an original was there forgot or chose to ignore that Keisha recorded all but one song on the album and it was ready to be released a couple months after she left.

Freedom was a great song (the piano version on Soundcloud was even better) and I wish they could have stuck it out to release that album.
Keisha did have a problem with Heidi when she first joined because she states in this interview it was her unhappy with Heidi's arrival http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...Sugababes.html.

It's confusing but if you ask me, Mutya and Keisha disliked Heidi because they'd been signed to the label since they were 13, and in their eyes Heidi was just fast tracked into the group on the back of their successful first album. I didn't know that Mutya and Heidi were close, I always thought Heidi seemed like the outsider. With MKS if you look into it it seems some of their supporters are just Mutya and Keisha fans, who decided to back the original lineup when Keisha was sacked. Obviously there are lots who preferred the original lineup, but I doubt there would be so much support of them if lineup 2.0 had remained. What I do find amusing, is whenever Mutya criticises Heidi or Amelle like she did during Keisha's sacking. She left the band of her own choice so what happens afterwards is nothing to do with her. She and Siobhan may be original members but they left of their own accord and that's their problem.

Heidi brought a bloody smile. There was finally a relatable member and not just three moody teenagers shooting daggers into a camera for 3 minutes.
Too true. I think she bought a lot of personality and enthusiasm to the group that the others didn't, although to be fair, as 2.0 progressed Mutya and Keisha seemed happier in her company.

Yes! I miss the Sugababes. Unpopular opinion but my favourite line up was actually 4.0. Loved their album and if it wasn't for all the bad publicity they could have been really successful. Saying that, I was a massive fan of Mutya, Keisha & Heidi aswell.

Favourite 5 songs
1 - About a girl
2- In the Middle
3 - Red Dress
4 - Ugly
5 - Stronger

"Sometimes I feel so down and out, like emotion that's been captured in a maze.
I've had my ups and downs, trials and tribulations, I've overcome them day by day,
Feeling good and almost powerful, a new me is what I'm looking for"

omg Keisha slayed that part!

I LIVED for the Sugababes. Although I liked their debut I loved 2.0 when Heidi joined. But by the time 3.0 came round I didn't like them anymore. I liked 'About You Now' but nothing after that really. My favourite singles are:

Run for Cover
New Year
Freak Like Me
Caught In a Moment
Too Lost In You

(In no particular order)
