crave bop

I also appreciate it more now, then last year.  

Y'all gonna be in 5 years like 'Margerine Flange was a genius, that's why he stanned MX since the first listen'  

27 weeks at #1 is insane 

A true icon 

I thought this was a new tweet and was about to be like how the fuck was AIWFCIY #1 for that long in Brazil of all places  

Imagine her making a thread on BGs  "The way I can't stop breaking records!"

period pooh 

I thoroughly enjoy soulful pop Kelly... but watching this makes me want rock Kelly to make a comeback in 2020; hoping the two merge, and we get some soulful pop rock!

What meme? There are so many  

@Royalty the most iconic one. She walked in so confident and then...

@Habits yass. What's your favourite ND song? Mines is probably Simple Kind Of Life. I also love "Platinum Blonde Life" off the album Rock Steady. 

FUCKING SLAYYYYYYY

Don't Speak, New, Hey Baby, Push & Shove, Bathwater, Hella Good, Sunday Morning are some of my favorite ND songs  

@I Brings That Levity Unfortunately, I cannot blame 4.0 for the loss of the Sugababes sound, because the majority of Sweet 7 was recorded before Keisha's exit; only thing Jade did was re-record her vocals. It was the influence of Roc Nation and their influence of a more American-sounding record.

1.0 work now, simply because of how Siobhan's voice has matured since her departure, and that's to their benefit. 2.0, IMHO, produced their most-known hit. Siobhan completely changed this song, and while I do love it, it is missing Heidi's flavour to it:

What's your fave ORIGINAL song from each lineup?

@Ruthless Love i know what you mean, however i was more meaning vocally. As in it just didn't sound like the Sugababes without Keisha's voice. As i say i'm pretty sure she had lost interest by that point hence why they went with the much more generic pop sound. And yes i would agree they were trying to make them more American sounding and compete against The Saturdays. For me it was always Keisha and/or Mutya who carried the group vocally, they had the most unique/strongest voices.  

You have to keep in mind when they first started they were barely based the age of 16 (actually i think Mutya was 15...), so it's to be expected that their voices hadn't matured yet, especially Siobhan. However now they're all strong and great singers, i don't think the band ever had a bad singer and they were always vocally much stronger than their peers (cough Girls Aloud, cough Cheryl & Kimberly... Who i also love but).

I think if 1.0 were to redo some of 2.0/3.0s songs there would be ones where it does and doesn't work, but that's just down to the nature of their tones. I agree that Ugly wouldn't really work with Siobhan nor would Girls - unless they changed the arrangement.

In terms of my favourite songs they'd have to be.

1.0: Flatline (if you include it) i honestly just adore that song.

2.0: Hole In The Head

3.0: About You Now (i have no option but to pick this for nostalgia reasons, i was obsessed with it when it came out). That aside i love Girls, Denial and No Can Do. 

4.0: Wear My Kiss

@I Brings That Levity

Hollaback Girl did it first

I enjoyed that 

Yeah no

Nah no.

I can't stand artists who will do anything to chart higher. And he's at his peak, what will happen in 10 years.

About You Now is a classic  

@Kenya agree, but the line up at that point was a bit crap, half of them couldn't sing properly. I really feel they lost something once Mutya left, it still annoys me to this day that they had the audacity to release an album after Keisha left too. The 2009/10 line up wasn't truly the Sugababes at all.
