Sugababes are out with videos describing songs off their new album ‘Sweet 7′, including their single ‘Wear My Kiss’. “The video was a lot of fun,” Jade Ewen said. “A lot of pain naturally for me. I’m sure you’ve seen the hairpiece was not exactly fun. We took a hanger, cut it up, put it in my hair and made a funny shape out of it.” Jade also talked about the difficulties filming it in front of a green screen. Watch the discussion below.
Sugababes are out with videos describing songs off their new album ‘Sweet 7′, including ‘Little Miss Perfect’. “The lyrics are amazing, if we don’t say so ourselves,” Heidi Range said of the song. “It’s just a really emotional song and we just love listening to it everytime.” Watch the discussion below.
Heidi Range is speaking out on former Sugababes member Mutya Buena’s bid to claim the rights of the girl group’s name through the European Trademarks Authority. “We know what’s going on but it hasn’t affected us at all,” Heidi insisted, according to The Sun. “I don’t really understand any of it. We’ve got the right to use the name. We’ve got lawyers who are dealing with that and we’re just getting on with performing and having a good time.”
Sugababes singers Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah are opening up about the latest shakeup with the British girl group that saw founding member Amelle Berrabah get ousted. “Bullying is a strong word. It sounds bad. But no one likes to be treated horribly,” Amelle told The Daily Record. “I was being singled out every day and I didn’t like the way I was being treated. I dreaded going in to work even though I had worked so hard to get here. I didn’t have a voice, Heidi didn’t have a voice and the people who worked around her didn’t have a voice. Even people who worked with us threatened to quit because they couldn’t take it. I took a lot of sh** from her as did Heidi and the rest of the team.”
Heidi spoke of similar emotional stress working with Keisha. “I couldn’t take it any more and neither could Amelle. How we allowed ourselves to be treated had gone on too long,” she explained. “It was pretty bad the last year of the previous line-up. I respect Keisha for the eight and a half years we have been together so I wouldn’t want to tell tales. But we had to make a decision whether to work in that environment.”
The Mirror reports Keisha Buchanan is preparing a court bid to force her former Sugababes bandmates and newcomer Jade Ewen to change the group’s name or give her a huge settlement. “This is a landmark case and will send shockwaves through the industry,” an industry insider told the British tabloid. “The Sugababes are one of the most successful girl bands of all time, but if they are forced to change their name it would be absolutely disastrous for them.” Read more.
The second Sugababes on Sugababes features Jade Ewen discussing her bandmate Amelle Berrabah and how she’s a funny person who has a knack for random outburtsts. Jade said when she met Amelle and Heidi Range for the first time, she expected Heidi to be shy and Amelle to be this massive personality, but she discovered it was the opposite at first. Jade said Heidi’s best quality is that she’s caring and understanding. Watch the remarks below.

Amelle Berrabah checked in with fans on the Sugababes blog at MySpace on Friday (February 5), discussing their time in Barbados, meeting Gordon Brown’s wife, and what’s up in their schedule in support of their new single ‘Wear My Kiss’. The 25-year-old singer writes:
Hello!
So as you know, we had an absolutely amazing time in Barbados. Then since we’ve been back we’ve just been busy rehearsing the new single ‘Wear My Kiss’ and we’ve done a few gigs too, two in Liverpool, one in Newcastle for T4 and the Cervical Cancer gig at Koko, which was really good. We met Sarah Brown, the PM’s wife, for the second time, and she was really lovely. We were talking about why we were there, our thoughts on lowering the age of getting smear tests from 25 to 20, it was a really positive chat. We got to see a few performances too – Pixie Lott, La Roux, Paloma Faith – Paloma’s absolutely lovely, first time I’ve met her. It was just a really good day and we got a lot of positive feedback about the campaign. I think a lot of people learnt something new that day – when we found out all the facts about cervical cancer we were generally shocked, so it was good to be part of something that affects so many women and to help get the word out there
Today we’ve been at MTV to do some links and a bit of presenting. It’s been really busy but all good. I quite enjoy reading off an autocue, I felt like a proper presenter, you know, I start nodding when someone else is talking and look to camera occasionally, all that! So watch out for that on MTV!
Lots of love, Amelle x
