He's one of the moderators of the Sugababes forum, and I agree with him, text speak is pretty annoying to read, so please use proper English grammar.

I even used please!

 

Not to mention it's against the forum rules too!!!

It looks like some people never read the forum rules then...

 

That clip is FANTASTIC! I really hope this will be a hit for them. :D

I want #1. Not because I think they deserve it necessarily, but because the name Sugababes needs a new #1. About You Now was too long ago.
dont patronise me silas, anyway i will not be reading this thread anymore, so dont bother writing back.
I can't describe how IMMENSE this song sounds! I mean seriously, my jaw just drops. The drum beat is so hard, with the electropop/dubstep elements. It will fit in well in the charts but will also stand out on its own. For it's lyrics particularly. I am VERY excited for this song!
Wow I hope the rest of the song lives up to that clip because if it does, then they may just have a career saving hit on their hands.

Popjustice's review of the song :

 

Let's be absolutely clear on this.

Story filed Wednesday, 01 June 2011

 

The new Sugababes single, 'Freedom', is no good.

 

We need to be completely unambiguous about this.

 

It is a bad song.

 

The vocal performance is just about perfunctory - it still sounds like Sugababes, in the sense that a miserable fart in the bath 'sounds like' a thunderstorm - and the bit where it gets 'exciting' (see clip below) is kitchensinkified enough to catch one's attention.

 

But it's not good enough. It's good enough to put on a Nokia advert, yes, but it's certainly not good enough to have the Sugababes name on it.

 

People seem to take a surprising amount of glee in giving the Sugababes a kicking. The shouting and pointing has been going on for ages, but it's worse now. Maybe it's because the band's music is worse now. Maybe the band's members could be replaced every eight hours and nobody would really care if the music was good. Either way, the hecklers think it's funny that a once great pop group is on its knees. To most people the band is now a joke. We don't think it's very funny. We take no pleasure in seeing one of our favourite pop groups of the last eleven years (in fact, they were Britain's best girlband at various points for almost a decade) in its death throes.

 

As we just posted on the Popjustice forum in a thread dedicated to the band's ongoing struggle, "there is nothing [we] would like more than for the 'Sugababes' to have an amazing single, to show everyone that they're worthy of continuing the band's name, to shut up the sniggering critics, to do justice to the support they get from their fans, to turn in a great and sophisticated twist on modern pop. That's what we all want, isn't it? [We'd] even put up with a great and unsophisticated twist on modern pop."

 

'Freedom' is not that. It's none of that. It's none of anything. It's just loads of nothing. It's the sound of the end.

Popjustice's review of the song

 

Ouch. It sounds good from the clips though and they called JLS' new single 'amazing' and that turned out to be possibly the most generic song of 2011 so far.

I am very glad they don't like it because they have the worst taste I have ever seen in a human being(s) so this makes me feel very confident about the song :lol:

I like it, it's getting positive vibes on the net.

PJ is just really against 4.0 (as is evident in everything written in the forum).

To be fair to you all though, it is true that Popjustice can be SO wrong at times. JLS is one of the best examples indeed.

JLS new song as well as the Club Is Alive which they also praised.

I laugh now :lol:

 

I don't mean to sound bitter or anything (I'm sure I do, though) but I'm serious when I say I don't value their opinion at all. It's not valid to me.

Popjustice can get on board with MINI VIVA and god knows who else but not THIS?

 

I have to say this is well below my expectations. It's good but then I LOVED the Sweet 7 singles and that sound is clearly not what they need to make them successful again. I expected them to regress to a bit of vocal harmony/an edgier sound or something but this is just Sweet 7 from the clip I've heard. It sounds good nonetheless but I am not RELIEVED or owt.

and popjustice is...? what? no one cares for their flopinion

THIS.

The clip does sound very good, granted, and a hell of a lot better than anything on 'Sweet 7', but it doesn't feel like anything new - it's trying to fit in with the new dubstep sound that's becoming popular, and therefore makes it as generic as the singles from the last album. I do look forward to the full song though, because I feel it will be good, but it's just not the "Sugababes", and they're certainly not going to be getting a #1 out of it, however "AMAZING" it is deemed.
