J-o-e

I think this is what she said to the NOTW guy (not entirely sure where this quote has come from so dont take my world that its official) : "They [the management] kept telling me to keep things quiet about why Amelle had supposedly gone missing. They told everyone to basically pretend like everything's fine. I know for a fact that they told Amelle to release a statement saying she had talked to me and Heidi and sorted things out, even though that never happened." After rumors had circulated stating that Keisha had been bullying Berrabah for the past few weeks, Keisha had to set the record straight. "I'm an open person, I speak what's on my mind. I couldn't take it lying down and not do anything. There comes a point where I just have to defend myself. It wasn't true that I'd been mean to Amelle so I just stated that publicly. At that point, I didn't know what was going on so I said we were all trying to figure out the truth. I guess the management didn't like that." After having been told that she was no longer a Sugababe, Keisha was coldly informed that she had already been replaced and that her vocals on their new album 'Sweet 7' had already been deleted and recorded over by newcomer Jade Ewen. "There is just no way that they could have re-recorded everything in one or two days. No, I think this was all planned. Obviously I can't point the finger at any one person because I don't know, but this was obviously planned for at least a couple weeks. From what I gather, it seems like they took Jade in behind my back and re-recorded over all of my vocals on the new album without me knowing. That really hurt me." And what about her bandmates? Or should we say, ex-bandmates... "I don't know," says Keisha. "I honestly have no clue what went down. I haven't spoken to Heidi or Amelle. I think I do deserve an explanation, though, and it hurts that they haven't made the effort to try and see how I'm doing. I guess people show their true colors eventually. Me? I've always been real."

I love H.A.T.E.U but how could she leave out the "Today I'm gonna get over you, you, you" part it was like the best part.

I think she will do better than Mutya as I'm sure she could do better songs than half the crap on her album, better than Siobhan as it will be more comercial. I just cant picture her being solo though...I really dont like this whole situation.

This wouldn't seem so bad if she had left out of choice, and I can see where the "make Amelle the star" rumours are coming from, her vocals are pretty dominant in Get Sexy and About A Girl.

I'm so upset, how could Keisha go, she certaintly wasn't my favourite but Babes 3.0 was perfect.

I cant believe Keisha has left, i cant believe anyone has let alone Keisha. Jesus.

Bear in mind songs are still growing but just a rough idea of first impressions: Betcha Gon Know - 8/10 - Love the lyrics in this Obsessed - 8/10 - Great song, bad choice to launch the album on H.A.T.E.U - 9/10 - prefer some of the demo lyrics but still an amazing song Candy Bling - 8/10 - Amazing Ribbon - 6/10 - Not really feeling this, bit messy Inseperable - 7/10 Good...just above average Standing O - 8/10 Pretty good, nice to see a more uptempo song Its A Wrap - 6/10 - Bit boring and goes on too long Up Out My Face - 7/10 - Again just pretty good nothing special More than Just Friends - 7/10 - Growing on me Impossible - 5/10 - boring Angels Cry - 8/10 - Prett good so far is still growing I want to know what love is - 9/10 - Almost perfect Overall 7/10 Its ok but not enough upbeat songs, not as good as E=MC2, but better than Emancipation for me.

I'm not Bey's biggest fan but Rihanna is just awful.

Nearly done listening, is ti worht havin a seperate thread for reviews or not?

Its good so far, not feeling Ribbon or Its A wrap, but still no where near finished. H.A.T.E.U and Betcha Gon Know are amazing.

Why does everyone keep saying stans..and nothing it confirmed about an announcement later today is there?

LEAKED!

I cant wait for this to leak, the line "Laughin out of anger but it doesn't strike me as funny" is beyond amazing.

Almost dont want to comment because everyones bumming it but really I wasn't too impressed, she looks awful in the scenes with the nasty trackies and bad hair, apart from that she looks good and its a pretty average video.

I think the dancing parts are quite good, however she looks pretty awful compared to usual.

Why is everyone saying this will be their final album (on popjustice not just here), I know it seems a bit weird but I dont see why it would be their last album.

Mutya has just tweeted "big announcement coming soon" :|.

Aparently her sister has confirmed they she hasnt left.

Change me? Go with Get Your Money Up, that and Alienated are the best on the album..that are left for release.

I'm still cynical to if this is true but the only way I think would be good for them to carry on is to bring Mutya back, I swear she said she would come back if they asked her.

I love siobhan so much but really she needs to move on, like its been so long.

Seems totally false, hope its false at least lol.

Love it, will probably grow on me more once I learn the lyrics but still pretty amazing already.

So whens the album going to be released.

Doubt it unfortunately.
