Songwriter: "Hi there, I've got a pretty rubbish generic dance song here - it's called 'About a girl' and I thought it could go to Cascada or something. Actually it's not that good, maybe I'll just chuck it in the bin."Record company 'exec': "No, hang on - that can go to the Sugababes, they're looking for a new single."
S: "Oh no, it's not nearly good enough for them. I mean, I don't know much about the Sugababes but, in their original incarnation, didn't they co-write and sing 'Overload', one of the most sophisticated pop songs of its era? I mean, weren't they talented singers and songwriters who wanted to show the world what they could do without resorting to half-baked Lady Gaga knock-offs?"
RCE: "Well yes, I suppose."
S: "And, where other girlgroups generally fail, weren't their ballads actually quite good as well? I mean, it was the Sugababes who did 'Stronger', wasn't it? That was incredible."
RCE: "Yes true, but they've gone off the boil a bit recently."
S: "So we're not talking about the same Sugababes who recorded 'About you now' in 2007 then? And 'Get sexy' was pretty interesting for a pop song, wasn't it?"
RCE: "Sigh... no one's interested in the music any more - they're just talking about which Sugababe will be the next to leave the group. Do you want the money for this pile of crap or not?"
S: "Of course I do. I was just saying."

So... you don't like it then?
I don't know what gave you that impression.
In your defence, it's rubbish.
And they could do so much better - that's the annoying thing. It's like having an amazing, intelligent and talented friend and finding out they're going out with Keith Chegwin.
Although actually maybe they couldn't - I keep forgetting these are three different people from the original, talented Sugababes. They're just relying on the brand name to convince me they could do better. I feel duped.
It would be brilliant if the three original members got together and formed a new band.
SavouryPeeps, they could call it.
They should call it Sugababes, and the three new girls should change their name to Trigger's Broom.
Funny you should mention this:
Reform??
