I love her thoughts on ‘Sweet 7’. Don’t hold back girl! laugh.gif

I really want ‘The Lost Tapes’ on vinyl, that really would be a dream. I hope the girls can make it happen.

At least she was honest re: Sweet 7.

Nobody's really surprised about her feelings about Sweet 7 - even if we put aside the quality of the tracks, it's obvious it wasn't a fun or creative process. I don't believe they even worked with the actual producers of most of the tracks, but associates. Being asked if they could do harmonies must've been soul-killing.

I could see Keisha’s absolute loathing of Sweet 7 being basically the reason she was booted and for tensions if she was the only one who felt so strongly about it being unacceptable

Very interesting that she mentions that legally the Sugababes name was always theirs it was just a matter of Copyright. That means it’s crown who have stood in the way for a long time. I remember she did take crown to court not long after and then at that point 4.0 just vanished off the face of the earth. Joining some dots, you wonder if she won the legal rights to the name and that was part of the reason 4.0 never actually did anything. Because they had no ownership of the brand any more (plus no one actually wanted them)

To be fair, from memory 4.0 had only signed a one single deal with Sony with the option for more - obviously, with Freedom basically being given away they weren't interested in the "more" part and 4.0 just did all their booked gigs and then more or less split unofficially. I believe a huge part of the contention in these cases are who the active group is - ie if 4.0 had continued they might've still had the right to use the name because of their continued use of it, but since they ceased the rights went back to 1.0; the issue was always on proving that 4.0 had stopped using the name actively. I think that's why we had that weird report about 4.0 supposedly touring Europe in 2014/15; it was a last ditch effort by Crown to prove that the group was still active. 1.0 might have always had the rights to use the name for things like performances though, see "S Club" in their various forms despite Fuller owning the brand.

That's just my very rudimentary understanding of the issue, I'm certainly not a lawyer.

This was a fantastic video thanks for posting. Loved her single picks for 'The Lost Tapes', 'Drum' & 'The Beat Is Gone' both are killer standouts. I agree with her views on 'Sweet 7' it was such a godawful record & NOT a Sugababes album, an abomination from start to finish & incredibly dated. I bet she's glad that her face wasn't on it & glad we didn't get another album of 'Heidi/Amelle/Jade' lineup as judging from 'Freedom' it would have been dire, faceless, soulless & vapid & again I cannot stress this enough, NOT a Sugababes album as even 'S7' didn't deserve to have their names on it.

Watching this again there’s so many non-S7 shade highlights


Very interesting that it seems to be that Glasto really opened the floodgates for them. A critically acclaimed set that shut down a field in a Glasto first is incredible. Shame that’s what it took to open eyes to what we as Stan’s all knew but still great to see them getting booked

I gagged. What a Kween.

1. Love that she said what she said about that project. That album should be removed from Spotify as none of the original members who came up with the name are there.
2. The Heidi reference. She basically said what we all knew. Little miss sunshine did play her part in kicking Keisha out of the group. Glad she’s moved on and they don’t hate each other.
3. She’s the Moment.
