That's good news!

 

BTW I think the line ''it's gettin' late but we right on time' is very clever.

Thank GOD.

I'm listening to Radio 1 now, but no mention of them yet. Jade tweeted 10mins ago that they are on their way there :)

Fearne just said there will be a surprise at 12:30, so it'll probably be them. :)

 

EDIT: Or not. Are we sure Jade didn't mean 1:45? :lol:

Greg James just said something's happening at 1.30, but I didn't hear the beginning of what he was saying :P

They were interviewed for Newsbeat basically. I think it's airing tomorrow or something.

 

Not on the Radio 1 playlist today.

Next week is their last chance I think :(

The way this is going Butterflies is going to be more successful...

I would have thought today was their last chance :mellow: how annoying, what radio 1 DJ's have twitter so we can go call them c**ts.

They might be playlisted next week, if not... well, as I said earlier, it was nice to hear you, Sugababes.

R.I.P. Sugafakes 2009-2011.

I think they'll survive Freedom dying on it's arse. They won't survive single #2 and the album flopping though.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/14724506 - this is the newsbeat interview clip.

 

And I also think they'll get the single #2 regardless of the 'Freedom' performance. Not so sure about the album though.

I do think they'll give it another go, but it's inevitable how it will end, so I brought out the headstone ready :P

 

In honesty, I'm surprised they got away with Catfights & Spotlights (totally undeserved) flop, but that was mainly down to the shit single choices - let alone Sweet 7! This looks like it will do worse than Sweet 7 era (at least it yielded 3 top 10s), a lot worse, so I really doubt they'll get another chance after this era.

That interview is the 5th most watched thing on the BBC website currently.

 

 

The label and Management are entirely to blame for C&S. Bad/no promo, poor single choices and criminally there was no advertisement for the album until it was too late. They didn't slip HMV a fiver to get it in the New Releases section and a prime spot by the front door (which is actually essential for sales or HMV will just chuck it in the alphabetised section after one week at the last spot in their chart) nor did they bother to actually put out word that there was a new album.

 

Girls killed that campaign dead.

 

 

Sweet 7 was a walking fucking disaster from the moment Keisha was manoeuvred from the band.

But 'Get Sexy' bombed too despite a #2 peak, so it's not like only Keisha sacking was to blame, it's the whole sound was wrong for Sugababes brand.

 

I don't know what Sony/RCA were thinking when they signed the Babes. Currently I don't think Sugababes will ever have a long-lasting huge hit in their hands as well as a decent-selling album, even if 2.0 reform somehow. SADLY. :(

Get Sexy was a miss step, but one that would easily have been forgotten about after About A Girl. Had Keisha not been saked that song would have been huge! It's the most 'Sugababes' sounding track on the album. Save for a couple of dodgy lyrics I could almost see Mutya singing it lol.

 

 

Wear My Kiss was unforgivable as a single choice and that ghastly video *shudders*.

 

 

Sony/RCA seem to have gone about this release the wrong way and not releasing a CD single is ridic for a band that has been around since 2000 and has fans that are still very much CD buyers. I'm hoping that there will be lessons learned from this and Single #2 will go better. If not I'm praying that Sony/RCA realise that they are at least partially to blame with the disastrous promo, or rather, lack thereof, and they give the band one more chance with album #9.

 

 

I have loved this band for nearly half my life. Even if it is a shadow/pale imitation of its former self I still love this band and I still care so much. That's what frustrates me the most about 4.0's material and Sweet 7. It sullied the name to the point where the brand was worthless and they are thought of as a joke. They need to come back fighting and Sony just haven't seemed to have gotten that. If I was their manager/label I'd have them coming back with something that sounds like it could easily be slipped onto a 2.0 rerelease and I'd have made sure they were on every bloody TV show on ever bloody channel.

I couldn't agree more and I couldn't have said it any better so that's why I just want to co-sign this.

 

(I still find it unbelievable that Heidi, who was with the 'Babes on their highpoint, would even be OK with the songs they release now. Obviously she wasn't the driving force behind 2.0).

I remember before we heard Get Sexy, I thought Sweet 7 would be their big return to form era. How wrong I was :lol: But I think it would have been so much better with a different order and if Keisha stayed something like:

- About A Girl

- Thank You For The Heartbreak

---------Album Release-----------

- She's A Mess

- Miss Everything

(maybe Crash & Burn?)

 

About A Girl as a lead single and with Keisha would've beaten Run This Town tbh - I mean GS was close and that nowhere near as great as AAG!

As much as I adore She's A Mess and looned for it during the Sweet 7 era and still do, it'd be a mistake to release that. (Crash & Burn wouldn't have existed with Keisha :P)

 

I'd have probably thrown out No More You as the third single and closed off the era with Wait For You.

 

 

Or, actually, reverse those two.
