Three-girl band Sugababes now has just one of its original members remaining, after Mutya Buena, who recently gave birth to a baby girl, has decided to call it a day. The original trio of Mutya, Keisha, and Siobhan (yes weird names, it gets weirder) made an early modest success with debut single Overload b
efore having a very tidy year. After Siobhan Donnaghy left (by the way she has an excellent solo single called Overrated), Heidi joined the band, and the success continued, gaining them four number ones including a number one album.So that brings us up to the present day, and Mutya's replacement, Amelle Berrabah. Amelle's debut performance with the group was last week on Top of the Pops (in Turin no less) and it turns out they made a great decision. As well as being very pretty -- I know, I know, as if they were going to choose a minger --this girl can also sing. Singing live, as they always do, one of the reasons I think they're great, they were as good as ever, and have a catchy song coming out soon. It's called Red Dress if anyone's interested.
Despite my enthusiasm, we've seen before with bands that new members can spell the end. With numerous rumours of rifts and quarrels, perhaps it is a little too naive to believe that all things will be rosy. Still, the success of Destinys Child, a group that had all in all around 7 members in its 7 years, must be a comfort. With Amelle, they still have appeal.
