www.inthenews.co.uk/news/entertainment/music/amelle-quits-sugababes-jade-ewen-joins-$1328319.htm The Sugababes have reportedly gone through another lineup change with Amelle Berrabah leaving the group and Jade Ewen joining.
The shock claims comes after Berrabah reportedly went missing 'for days' following an argument with founder member Keisha Buchanan.
"I've been told off the record that Jade is joining the Sugababes," an inside source was quoted by the Sun as saying.
The girl group's record label Island said they had "no comment" on the rumours, adding to the speculation that Berrabah - who become the only former or current Sugababe to have a solo number one when she featured on Tinchy Stryder's chart-topper Never Leave You in August - had indeed left the band.
Berrabah replaced Mutya Buena in the girl group in December 2005 but has now allegedly become the latest ex-Sugababe, with Jade Ewen, Britain's 2009 representative at the Eurovision Song Contest, reportedly replacing her.
The news was broken by the heatworld website, which published a statement from Ewen's record label Geffen saying: "Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we regret to inform you that Jade Ewen will be taking time off from all promotional activity for the foreseeable future."
Her solo single My Man was due to be released on September 21st.
Berrabah's departure leaves Buchanan as the only Sugababe to have been in the group since its inception, with Siobhan Donaghy and Mutya Buena both having left the group, with Heidi Range replacing the former in 2001.

Oh bugger - I was just starting to think Amelle was actually starting to stand out more favourably than the other two with the new material!

Would be a rotten shame if this is true Amelle is by far my favourite babe since Mutya, I might actually lose all interest in the band now. Although Jade is a really good replacement!

Meh. I didn't really like Amelle. She was a bit odd. But then I don't like Jade Ewen either. I'm not sure it will particularly make any difference to the band. They're coming to the end fo their shelflife, new member or not.
Is Jade's release shelved then? How much publicity had it had? I can't say I've heard it anywhere.

And Jade Ewen is set to take her place! On the first view, I thought, you were jokin with Jade Ewen. But we will see, maybe she will make it to replace Amelle properly.

They whipped Ewen in there quick! Are they the same label then?
I can't see Jade Ewen working as well as the Aldershot lass, but hey, kudos to Sugababes to keep things going then give up and quit completely. It's like a revolving door.

I think tha article was removed from that link you provided Smurfie. Maybe this is a sign that the story was false?

WOW! I didn't see that coming. And Jade Ewen of all people. It's not that I don't like her, but if it is true then I don't see how that will work.
Jade just barely managed to get down the stairs on Eurovision, and even then she hit one of the violinist's in the face! I wonder how she'll do with all the dance routines.

But Jade Ewen??! No disrespect to her vocal and choreography abilities - but she is a little bit more classy than the Sugababes? It'll be carnage.
The whole Sugababes ongoing saga just makes me LOL.

Celebrity Deathmatch: Keisha v Chris Brown. I'd pay to see that.

Keisha vs Anybody. I wouldn't argue with her.
They'd be better off sending Mutley back in. Or Kerry Katona. Or Kim Jong-Il.

Srsly, why has nobody pitched a reality show round this carcrash yet? "Sugababes New BFF"? (Two episodes, then Keyshia sets on her new BFF with knuckledusters).
"Sugaworld" (24 hours in, none of the housemates are talking to Keyshia; 72 hours in, "someone" burns the house to the f*king ground!)
Or how about "Make your band look ten years younger"? (Keyshia sacks anyone over the age of 15 from the band and replaces them with a bunch of Lauren lookalikes from the local comp, then the whole gang go down the precinct and cause havoc in the Co-Op.)

The whole Sugababes ongoing saga just makes me LOL. I join in LOLing with you. So, if this is true, have they got Jade just in time for the 'About A Girl' video? Seems soooooooooo odd, actually it is the Sugababes, not so odd then. I thought artists were under contracts, as in, you can't just up and leave when you feel like it? It's not asif the 'babes will have much control with the label or whoever it is in charge, saying that, if Keisha's said so, who's gonna argue.
