As reunions of pop trios go, the news of the original Sugababes line-up has (somewhat surprisingly) rated quite high on the hype scale. Would anyone care so much if Cleopatra were coming back atcha? What about Atomic Kitten rising from the ashes?
Ever since it was rumoured that Siobhan Donaghy had been spotted in a studio somewhere chatting to – and not gauging out the eyes of – Keisha Buchanan, the world has been waiting on tenterhooks for a Sugababes reunion. And we got one! Except Sugababes in its current form is a trio of slick quasi-automatons made from the sweat and tears of a fat, balding A&R man, so Mutya Keisha Siobhan came up with a new name!
One for the ages… prepare yourselves… please welcome back: MUTYA KEISHA SIOBHAN.
Umm, oh ok. Can’t help but wonder if that decision’s down to a lack of creative nous or a genius insurance plan in case any of them take a quick ‘loo break’ and scarper for good (again).
So in the spirit of things, and despite the fact I can only remember two of the ORIGIBABES (thanks Pop Justice) actual songs – here’s some highlights from the Sugababes back catalogue that deserve another airing on the inevitable #UKtour.
Overload – first and arguably the best.

Too Lost In You – the only saving grace of fucking terrible Curtis affair, Love Actually.
Follow Me Home – every stalker’s anthem.
Freak Like Me – let your freak flag fly with this Adina Howard/Gary Numan mash-up.
Caught In A Moment – the ‘Babes always gave good ballad.
Angels With Dirty Faces – an embodiment of late ’90s junk pop. And apparently on The Powerpuff Girls Movie soundtrack.
New Year – this one goes out to all the lovers out there.

I don’t know what the rules are in terms of musical ownership and I’m assuming Mutya Keisha Siobhan will have a new batch of tunes to throw at us on the #UKtour, but I swear I’d pay like, £17 (+ booking fee) to see them do this setlist. So, come on ladies – what do you say?

I think I’d pay around 15 English pounds to go see them but aren’t they a bit like Westlife in that they don’t really do much on stage? Not much bang for your buck?

When did Keisha turn into Rihanna? Uncanny! x

Haha true, but unlike Westlife the gig wouldn’t end with your brain dribbling out your ears, and that’s something money can’t buy! AMIRITE?x
