Original line up too!

I liked Heidi - she did loads with the group and it must be really insulting to have her contribution taken over by Siobhan again.
Best line up would be to become a 4 piece group with Heidi back.

I recognised two of them - Mutya and Keisha?? - but the third one didn’t look familiar at all? She wasn’t in the group for all their main hits was she?

PuppyMonkey · 01/01/2024 08:05

Ah, I see - it’s Heidi I’m thinking of! Never heard of Siobhan.

Ahh bugger. How do I get a thread deleted? Need to stop Mumsnetting without specs.

You made my morning lol I started reading thinking this is about Sugababes but your comment confused me completely 😂

She was there at the very beginning of the group back when they released their first song.

They're rubbish, never saw the points of them then or now. The real life version of Girls5eva. All the warbley singing and boyband hand gestures not to mention that they were notoriously unpleasant to eachother back in the day and still don't seem to gel musically or otherwise. That's why the ever changing lineup worked, any randomers could have been slotted in because they don't connect with eachother in performance or interviews anyway. I love Graham Norton but I really got the ick with him gushing over them when he had them on his show recently.

DC7 got up for the fireworks last night, had to cover their eyes because they were afraid of Mutya Confused. She was never stunning but what has she done to her face, are they piercings or something surgically enhanced?? Also, why are she and Keisha always dressed like they're on the game and Siobhan like she's a nun???

Is that you Heidi?

On a serious note, if you actually had to cover your 7yo eyes perhaps you need to work on their resilience ? Can you even take them out in public or are they the type that points at any one who looks different? "MUMMY WHATS WRONG WITH THEM?"

Or were you just attempting humour, at the expense of another woman's looks?

If you haven't made any New Year's resolutions yet I can suggest one for you...

Not a fan, seem to be pleasant people, hardworking. A group who I view as not to my taste, rather than the non-music of those such as Westlife or Atomic Kitten.

LlynTegid · 01/01/2024 08:52

@MollyRover I think your comments were inappropriate.

Mairzydotes · 01/01/2024 09:04

The original line up , not the ' Trigger's Broom' line up.

I'm surprised Siobhan went back about 20 years later. Did she have a music career in the meantime?

MollyRover · 01/01/2024 09:07

There's barely a post on a recent Nigella thread that doesn't mention her enhancements and I can't say that whatever Mutya has had done looks bad? Or was it my comment that Siobhán perpetually wearing pants suits and polo necks vs Keisha and Mutya in bondage style bras? There is a noticeable difference, it doesn't even look like they're in the same band.

Attacking my child is hunky dory though, isn't it?

LadyShimura · 01/01/2024 09:13

I feel a bit sorry for Heidi. She was in Sugababes for 10 years. Longer than Siobhan had been at that point.

It's like her contribution has been ignored because she wasnt an original.

I agree, she seemed to gel better with them too, at least that was the vibe there. No discernible difference in ability, just seemed like they fitted together better.

@NotmySundaybest they're jumping on the bandwagon of other pop groups from the same era having lucrative nostalgic comebacks. If any of them were capable of having a solo career the Sugababes would have stayed split, I think it's clear they're still not mad about eachother. I's not like it's any better or worse than Steps or 5ive, is it?

They’ve actually been back together since about 2012, just not using the Sugababes name until more recently. So this isn’t actually a comeback, they’re just suddenly a bit more high profile for some reason.

What a horrible post. Molly

MollyRover · 01/01/2024 10:34

@ChessieFL oh I know, this is their 3rd comeback Grin. They need a serious teambuilding and better consistency in their collective image for it to stick this time I think.

😂😂

If the OP took the trouble to spell the band's name correctly, then you wouldn't have misunderstood.

Lampzade · 01/01/2024 10:41

Re outfits- they are obviously wearing what they are comfortable with.

They are not the first and will not be the last group to break up because of personality clashes. The Spice Girls, Take That and more recently Little Mix have had issues with members.
The difference is that all members of The Sugababes are talented and have decided that they want to try again
Good luck to them

Im glad they are back but need a stylist

We're unimpressed with their seated choreography. Move heads, cross legs, move heads, cross legs...

We saw them for a few min yesterday and said it looked like chair-obics or sitting aerobics! Although they did eventually get up and do a routine, but it looked tricky in the sky scraper heels.

SadSandwich · 01/01/2024 10:58

They were brill last night so yes.

NotmySundaybest · 01/01/2024 10:58

Sorry about spelling... I was pissed.
Someone was bound to pick fault
