When did you first discover the Sugababes? - When I was a kid, they were popular and on the radio and TV all the time, I always enjoyed their singles and would happily listen to them
When did you first really become a fan? - Since I was a kid really, my first CD of theirs was Overloaded: The Singles Collection. I was really blown away by Get Sexy but I love a lot of their singles. Walk This Way slays and I love Too Lost In You and Ugly and so many others.
Have you seen the Sugababes live? - I would like to but I haven't done yet, hopefully for their next tour.
What are you most looking forward to seeing in 2021 & 2022 from the Babes? - Obviously the One Touch reissue and then whatever follows and Mutya's EP (if that's still coming), also it would be great to get some Amelle releases, she was in the studio last year but I dunno when or if anything will get released.

Favourite
Sugababe - Amelle
Line-up - 2.0/3.0
Album - Sweet 7
Single - Get Sexy / Freedom
Album Track - She's a Mess

& finally
What do you hope to get out of this AF? - I'm just glad to have it back as it was one of my favourite places on BuzzJack, it's great having all this space to talk about the band in depth and as we all look forward to the reissue (and what follows). I also think it will be cool having Sugababes events, like listen throughs or rates and whatever else really smile.gif

When did you first discover the Sugababes? - Probably seeing them perform Overload on CD:UK in 2000!
When did you first really become a fan? - I did enjoy the first era and listened to the debut album a lot in 2001, but I wasn't heavily invested - I didn't buy the CD singles or avidly follow what they did. I think it was the release of Round Round that really turned me into a big fan.
Have you seen the Sugababes live? - Yes! I saw them twice. Liverpool in 2006... the third line up. The tickets were bought when Mutya was still in the group. That was my first ever concert! ohmy.gif I also saw them in Birmingham in 2007. I had tickets to see them in Derby in 2008 but in the end I couldn't go because I injured my knee sad.gif
What are you most looking forward to seeing in 2021 & 2022 from the Babes? - Hopefully new performances! I'm ready to throw myself into the nostalgia of them celebrating their debut era. Then after that... new music!

Favourite
Sugababe - Different girls at different moments... right now, I'd say Keisha.
Line-up - I have love for all the line-ups, even 4.0... but ultimately, I think I would have to say 2.0. That was a moment in time though, I don't yearn for them to have Heidi back. 1.0 makes sense and feels natural, I can't wait to see them extend their legacy together.
Album - Three
Single - Push the Button
Album Track - There's so many fantastic album tracks, and I'm not sure what my ultimate one would be... but 2 Hearts has been in my mind the past few days.
Live Performance - I'm not sure if one really stands out to me above all others. Is it bad that the performance where Keisha blurts out NO NO NO NO NO to bring Amelle back into time for Get Sexy is the first one that came to mind? laugh.gif


& finally
What do you hope to get out of this AF? - Just for it to be thriving forum where we can throw ourselves into the nostalgia of one of the all-time best girl groups, and share the excitement for the future!

Have you seen the Sugababes live? - No </3
What are you most looking forward to seeing in 2021 & 2022 from the Babes? - Right now I'm definitely feeling the 'One Touch' anniversary hype <3 for next year new music would be really cool

Line-up - 2.0 (my sentiments are the same as Jay)
Album - Three

Album Track - Situation's Heavy
Live Performance - The one that birthed the Heidi siren vocal meme kink.gif

& finally
What do you hope to get out of this AF? - Share passion with likeminded people for the future and celebrate a strong discography so far! A spotlight for each album to date would be cool - whether a thread for each or listening sessions

When did you first discover the Sugababes? - Back in 2000 when Overload was on the music channels all the time.
When did you first really become a fan? - I would say around the time of 'Shape', I never really got into Freak Like Me or Round Round when both were released, did like Stronger, but loved Shape which was also the first single of theirs I bought (I do love all four mentioned songs now, obviously).

What are you most looking forward to seeing in 2021 & 2022 from the Babes? - Tour!!! And some new material.

Favourite

Album - Three
Single - Hole In The Head / Stronger / Overload
Album Track - Whatever Makes You Happy
Live Performance - Flatline acoustic @ SBTV
& finally
What do you hope to get out of this AF? - enjoying the nostalgia of their amazing back catalogue and being very excited together about all the things that are still to come.

When did you first discover the Sugababes? - Similar to everyone else really, I remember seeing 'Freak Like Me' and 'Round Round' on the music channels all the time.
When did you first really become a fan? - Can't really pinpoint, I've enjoyed their music ever since discovering them and that's just strengthened as I've grown older.
Have you seen the Sugababes live? - No but would love to see them!
What are you most looking forward to seeing in 2021 & 2022 from the Babes? - I'd love to see some re-recorded versions of some 2.0 hits, but I'm just going to enjoy everything that the celebrations have to offer.

Favourite
Sugababe - Keisha
Line-up - 2.0 is 'my' line-up so to speak and I think they have the best songs, but everything I've heard from 1.0 as MKS proved to me that line-up was by far the best vocally and in terms of chemistry.
Album - Admittedly I've only heard 'Changes' and 'Catfights' in full, the former easily taking the win.
Single - 1) Push the Button 2) Hole in the Head 3) Too Lost in You/Red Dress
Album Track - 'Never Gonna Dance Again', should have been a single
Live Performance - 'Caught in a Moment' from the Google sessions

What do you hope to get out of this AF? - Just having a place to reminisce and share memories! Looking forward to the first singles rate/survivor.

Age - 35

When did you first discover the Sugababes? - When I was 14, I went to Australia to study as an overseas student. Every weekend, a show called "video hits" would be shown on TV, which was really a countdown of the ARIA single chart, then I heard "Round Round" for the first time there.
When did you first really become a fan? - I think it's really this year. I've enjoyed their singles but I never bought their album until I bought "Change".
Have you seen the Sugababes live? - Yes, this year in Manchester Apollo Theatre!
What are you most looking forward to seeing in 2023 from the Babes? - Brand. New. Music

Favourite Sugababe - Keisha
Line-up - 2.0 is my favourite but the first line-up is just as much as my favourite.
Album - I've only bought "Change" before. "The Lost Tapes" was released two days ago. Thus, "The Lost Tapes" is better because of the better cohesion.
Single - 1) In the Middle 2) Hole in the Head 3) Round Round 4) Stronger 5) About You Now
Album Track - 'My Love Is Pink', should have been a single
Live Performance - 'Caught in a Moment' from the Google sessions

What do you hope to get out of this AF? - Just a place to chat from time to time.
