They don't smile, they're stroppy and they've had more line up changes than Destiny's Child. They've recently undergone another line up change, but that's not stopped the Sugababes. Mutya's been replaced by Amelle, and Red Dress is the new single out on the 06th of March. Here's what's happened to date:

 

In 2001, former member Siobhan Donaghy slipped out of a meeting and never came back, claiming later that being in the band made her feel "terrible". (Their response? "Maybe Siobhan was jealous of me," said Keisha.

 

Heidi Range soon joined the group, who is unmistakably the ex-Atomic Kitten! Puffta interviewed Atomic Kitten some years before Heidi popped into the spot light, we asked the Kittens "Has there even been a fourth kitten?" Their reply... "Never, no, it's only ever been us three." LIES!

 

2005 and Mutya's gone off to have a baby. It was quite a shock when Mutya left the band, after complaining that she couldn’t cope with their hectic schedule and wanted to spend more time with her daughter Tahlia. But the lure of the limelight must have been too much to resist, as she’s reportedly on the verge of signing a solo record deal!

 

The deal is with Island Records – which happens to be the same label that the Sugababes are signed up to. A source told puffta, ‘Mutya is going solo. She's in talks with Island Records, who look after the Sugababes, to sort out a deal. Then it will be all go. She's so excited.’

 

The band have since replaced her with 21 year-old Amelle Berrabah. So will the constant bitchiness and ignoring new band members continue? Was the split amicable? According to the Daily Mirror, talking about what Mutya's replacement, Amelle Berrabah, brings to the group, Keisha revealed: "She adds a touch of sophistication. A classy element." Meow! Listen up gay boys, if you thought you were bitches, check out the Sugababes!

 

Heidi, Amelle Berrabah and Keisha when quizzed about Mutya, Keisha said: "Mutya brought more of a street element. When Mutya was in the band there was something edgy about it, whereas with Amelle it's more slick. "People say we look more united now." Maybe that shows in the re-release of "Taller in More Ways" with three songs being re-recorded and a new track tacked onto the end with Amelle. For those die hard fans, here are some of the differences to listen out for:

 

Follow Me Home: Possibly one of the strongest tracks on the Sugababes fourth album, and one firmly stamped with Mutya's style. Listen out for the opening and first verse which is now Amelle. Thankfully the end of the track hasn't been altered, with Keisha still pulling on our heart strings with the high vocal ad libs, not quite Mariah Carey, but we love it. Who Wins: We preferred Mutya.

 

Gotta Be You: Amelle punches through 'Gotta Be You'. Her voice definitely stronger than Mutya's, there is no mistaking Amelle's voice when you listen to this track. Plenty of attitude. Listen out for this verse: "Now you’re talking this stuff, seems I’m getting dissed, what! Newsweek, you would say today look at Mutya" has been changed to "Now you’re talking this stuff, seems I’m getting dissed, what! Newsweek, you would say today look at this slut." Well, we think it says "Slut", it could also say "Luck", we're not sure. Also at the end of the track, the weird electronic sound goes off key and Keisha doesn't start wailing, she just whispers. Who Wins: Amelle. But we prefer the original.

 

Red Dress: Amelle opens this track and Keisha kicks in. We think you can still hear Mutya if you listen carefully in the chorus and backing. It's almost as if Amelle's just singing over the original version. We suspect they left Mutya's backing vocals on there... Amelle also sounds like she's forcing her voice onto the track, but we reckon she's just trying to make her mark. Who Wins: We think it's an even split between Mutya and Amelle.
