The Sun sayeth: Sugababe to quit

mutya sugababes

Mutya Buena is close to quitting the Sugababes, so reports The Sun.

A source is quoted thus: "Mutya has told the girls she is leaving the band. It has been tough for her since she had her baby daugher Tai earlier this year. The constant touring and recording schedules have just become too much and she feels it's time to call it a day.

"Her label have told her she has to stay but her mind is made up. They will try to wheel her out to show the band are still together but it will all be official soon."

Do the band have a single out for Christmas? Cos if so, this = publicity, innit.



  • the other two

    were "special guest presenters" on popworld last weekend. simon kept making comments about how the third one was "ill, right?" and that's why she wasn't there.

    i laughed.

    • Death

      is a bit harsh.
      I like 'em.

    • Even he's too polite to say...

      "The other one's too ugly for television, right?"

      • I don't mind the Sugababes.

        Obviously, it's minding a dry cowpat over a wet one, but still.

        • "Push The Button" is a fantastic song...

          And so are "Overload" and a few others.

          I think they're a good pop act. If all pop acts were as good as Sugababes and Girls Aloud the world'd be a far better place.

          • YES!

            HERE HERE!

            Get off you indie snobbery horses everyone and lighten up!

            I would be very sorry to see the end of the Sugababes.

            • NOOOO

              end of sugababes and girls aloud. end of suggestive videos. mmmhmmm

              • This wont affect my life or

                anything that happens in it between now and the grave one bit.

                Bands like this only exist so people can have sordid fantasies about fucking one of them really.

                • I'm the proud owner of 'Overload' on single

                  And The version of 'Freak Like Me' they did on the Richard X album is great.

                  The rest: meh, and they come accross as not being very nice people.

                  Also I hate that video they did where they're at a gig which is nothing like any gig ever.

                • I too

                  Would mourn the loss of the Sugababes, they're a shiny pebble in a sea of shit

                  I'll gladly see the back of Mrs Potatohead up there, though

                • damn

                  I was hoping it'd be the shit atomic kitten reject who'd be leaving!
                  Their end would be a saad day for pop music f'sure (though that last single was probably the poorest thing they've done...)

                  Actually
                  It's the fucking Sun. So quite likely bullshit ;)

                  • I quite like 'Round Round'

                    Assuming that's actually the name of it.

                    • The other one's too ugly for television, right?

                      What other one? They're like a band made up of Ugly Spices...

                    • rough rough dirty girl

                      a friend actually disagreed with me over her being the roughest pop star evar!1! i was confused.

                      • one of them?

                        where's your ambition?

                        • *vomits*

                          Mutya is the dog-faced one anyway. They should bring the Ginger one back.

                          Overload was good though.

                          At least we still have Girls Aloud...

                          • ahahahahaha!!â„¢

                            Great reply *****

                            • Sorry

                              That was meant to be five stars...not a swear word...sorry. I've ruined your joke...i'll leave now.

                          • Who

                            on earth can even contend?

                          • well

                            I bloody LOVE the sugababes

                            • I hear

                              that she's a real bitch.
                              I did like Overload...probably the ONLY Sugababes song I like.

                              • they are

                                the ugliest bunch of tarts I ever did see.

                                • In terms of good publicity...

                                  ...they're supposed to be supporting Take That next summer, so I'd call it bad publicity...

                                  • Yeah

                                    I had the misfortune of interviewing them, and they just had attitude, and seemed totally up themselves.

                                  • MARILYN!

                                    You obviously haven't seen the Pussycat Dolls!

                                    • HAS anyone seen

                                      what Muttley or whatever the fuck her name is, is wearing in their new video when she gets out of the cab?
                                      X=Y=SLUT.

                                      • Sugababes=wicked!

                                        they get the best boy/girlband tunes in town. it'll be sad if they split. but hey...

                                      • that's as maybe

                                        but yer Atomic-Kitten-reject one has a really shitty and unremarkable voice compared with the other two. spoils things so much.

                                        but on an indie board i spose it's expected the thing that matters most to many posters is their 'fitness' more than their way with a wicked pop tune..... (*joooooke*)

                                        and touring with take that? oh man. mutya's made her escape at the right time in that case.....

                                      • My

                                        favourite current listens are Pale Saints and The Sugababes.

                                        The latter's new single is ridiculously good.

                                    • they

                                      started out with this spark that was buried under a mass of understatement... and were consequently awesome. the way they came across as so nonchalant and *shrug* and made the fact that they couldn't REALLY sing too well completely, totally irrelevant... they were the musical equivalent of someone tickling the back of your neck for 1.5 seconds then running away. [as opposed to rubbing their tits in yr face lapdance stylee, à la most other girl bands.]

                                      these days they shake their booties like everyone else, sing like everyone else [but less competently], look like everyone else, and are less interesting altogether.

                                    • yeah,

                                      round round was ace.

                                    • the

                                      singer from the pussycat dolls is hot. this CANNOT be argued with. admittedly from the wrong angle she looks a bit male, but otherwise she's fucking beautiful.

                                      fair enough about the rest of them though.

                                      • i'm so glad...

                                        someone mentioned popworld. that was soooo funny!!! memba the bit when sugarbabes performed and simon held up a chalkboard saying 'mutya is ill'? ahahahahaha!!!! thank the lordy lord for simon.

                                        • i mean

                                          sugababes. who cares.

                                      • she'd be pretty

                                        if she actually was male.

                                        i fancy men more than i fancy the PCDs and i'm straight as arrows.

                                  • She was blatantly

                                    the best one though.

                                  • Overload

                                    is brilliant. Push the Button is awful. Terrible. Jesus.

                                    Sugababes are ok but Girls Aloud are MUCH better. Better image. Better songs. Better singers.
