Sugababes: Change Documentary

[@gregormackenzie2434]

3 Spoons of Suga would've been an iconic album title tbh. I laughed so hard when she said that. I love Heidi 😅

[@Larissa-fn2st]

Mutyas work is so underated Song 4 mutya still sounds like it would chart today.

[@rayoflight6505]

Love the Change album especially the title track. Amelles vocal in it is so hauntingly beautiful.

[@jjl6438]

The beautiful editing of the live performances and your seamless voiceovers make these documentaries special. You really make those original Sugababes shine and give them their dues. It’s also quite melancholic, watching it all back this way.

Song 4 Mutya is such an iconic moment in time for me! These documentaries are amazing, thank you x

[@orchidsiren6305]

I think this has been the best one by far, especially being reminded that Mutya and Siobhán’s albums were also released the same year. 2007 was a good year for their musical output!

[@nabojsa]

I always laugh so hard when I look at my copy of Mutya's album (first pressing of european version, bought it right when it came in CD shops in Croatia), because one letter is missing on the front cover so it says "real g rl" 🤣

[@stevendownie7529]

Amazing. Not trying to throw shade at other girl bands but sugababes have never recieved a documentary (to my knowledge) so it’s great that you’re putting these together. Love this band. Miss line up’s 2.0 and 3.0 as I enjoyed those equally to 1.0.

[@garethlewisedmunds6537]

I am loving these documentaries that you’re doing. I can’t wait for other bands/artists that you do. Also your voice is so perfect for this type of content. Love it!!

[@popunderrated]

[@sam21648]

Another amazing documentary. Sugababes are everything and everywhere right now and these docs are a great way to see the history. Also, really appreciate the music video cuts into live performances - really nice touch and the timing is always great!

[@gregormackenzie2434]

Love these docs so much! I had never ever seen some of that Siobhan footage before and Ghosts is literally one of my favourite albums of all time! Thanks for covering it! 💙 Definitely a stunning project.

While this album is not regarded favorably, there's still bops on it. Denial is a gem, and deserved better. It's a good album. The Change slander must stop 😩😩😩😩

I really love your documentaries on the Sugababes albums! Quite sad that it's almost over already 😄. Though the most "interesting" one is still to come... For real, it's a shame what happened there but it does make a very interesting story and I am so curious to hear about that!

@@norijean3279 I prefer her debut too, ghosts was visually better (videos, album photoshoot etc) but musically there were some meh moments, I agree. Still a great album overall tho.

[@thesjq1858]

I have loved these album by album documentaries/retrospectives of the sugababes. It’s interesting to see all the archive and behind the scenes material as well as the solo efforts, and where it all fits in chronologically. I’m a massive fan of the sugababes in all of their iterations so it’s great to see and hear things I had no idea about, and I’m very excited for the next video. Great work! 👏

[@djlunaticdreyfuss7562]

The highlight was Shiv's release of the long awaited and classic Ghosts... years ahead of its time!

[@CarlosFernandez-be1sb]

Loving the documentaries! Just saw the TIMW era this morning and what a surprise to have the change era available now! Thanks a lot! Excited to see the rest on the sugababes and all other ones that may come also! You're doing an amazing work!

[@DavesDeepDive]

This is really great and I can so appreciate how long it would take to pull together 😉 Love the footage, it's amazing to think how things have "changed" 😉 but at the end of the day, the phenomenal songs from this era are absolute classics 😍 I would love to see a 2023 nod to these songs in their live shows - NGDA is and will always be a favourite of mine! Keep up the excellent work ❤

[@popunderrated]

Thanks, Dave! Likewise to you 😗

I absolutely LOVE these… whenever I see a new one I’m like “YESSSSS” You do such a great job of these! Thank you 🙏 ❤

[@BilliePPE]

Fantastic work. I loved that you included the solo suga projects as well!!! Would you ever do anything for The Corrs or Girls Aloud or The Saturdays? The Corrs were pretty popular here in the states like the Sugababes a bit but it's so cool to get that UK perspective, just completely different as we basically would just get the music here and no much promo! Keep em coming. My winter weeknights are basically me marathoning these pop gems.

[@popunderrated]

Thank you And yeah maybe so watch this space

[@antonmedvedev1128]

Oh, I looooove Change album 🔥🔥🔥😍 I've got my story with it 🌞 I once played a song ("Back When") off the album to my students in class and a few years later I bump into one the students from that group, grown up and a university student already, and she says that she listens to that song to this day and shows me her phone with iTunes Sugababes' album cover 🙃

[@AdzPower]

I can't wait for the next doc, Catfights and Spotlights is such an underrated album imo, it didn't get the praise or success it deserved. 3.0 at their best vocally for sure.

[@MangoPie-mw3zc]

No Can Do is very underrated

[@imalwaysright]

They got the styling right this era 💅🏽

[@nabojsa]

they did, except they tried to turn Keisha into UK version of Rihanna with the same hairstyle that she had at the time. Heidi and Amelle were perfect tho!

[@clayk2122]

I love this album, I would have released the singles like this : 01 About You Now 02 Never Gonna Dance Again 03 My Love Is Pink 04 Denial or Change "Never Gonna Dance Again" is actually my favorite one from this album and one of my favorite song from the band. I'm sure it could have been a great single choice, I'll never get tired of this song.

[@jdorecouture16]

That would've been perfect. I'm still shook that the label didn't think Never Gonna Dance Again would be a more fitting single choice. Even, My Love Is Pink as well. Those tracks are definitely highlights and single friendly off Change.

@ 10:45 why is Siobhan being interviewed standing in front of two oily golden cowboys?! 🤠😂

[@chrisdownie6447]

outstanding as always

[@maritta2504]

As for "songs that made the album despite having been rejected before" (apart from Never Gonna Dance Again), my guesses are: Back When - co-written by Dallas Austin (who they closely worked with during Taller) but none of the girls, somewhat similar in style to Ugly Mended By You - not co-written by all three, only by Keisha & Heidi 3 Spoons of Suga - rumored to even be from the Three sessions, but source of that is debatable; obviously Heidi really loved it and maybe pushed for it to be on the album finally My Love Is Pink - rumored to be written for Girls Aloud initially, but rejected by them - this song really does sound like something from Girls Aloud, but it is Xenomania after all... Surprise - debatable, since it's co-written by Dr. Luke and Cathy Dennis just like About You Now Open the Door - same as Surprise but also credits Keisha & Heidi, but not Amelle

[@Philipp19967]

Not sure about my love is pink since Keisha and Heidi co-wrote it. Maybe there is a demo and they changed lyrics. 3 spoons of sugar the same. All 3 co-wrote it so if it's from three they changed the lyrics. And the fact that sometimes only Keisha or Keisha/Heidi are named is because they changed the contract. During Sugababes album 2-4 all girls were always credited even if Mutya or Heidi didn't write a line, they were listed next to Keisha. They changed it on Change and C&S. As well as lost the lost tapes where Siobhan co-wrote every song, closely followed by Keisha and Mutya didn't write half of it

[@maritta2504]

@@Philipp19967 rumor has it Nadine did a demo of My Love is Pink and GA didn't like the song, but since the demo is obviously not available it's a bit hard to verify. It's entirely possible though that both 3 Spoons and My Love were (slightly? 🤷🏼‍♀️) reworked by them, just like Never Gonna Dance Again was, and that's why they are still credited (Beyonce for example also gets writing credits if she just changes some words in the lyrics :D). But like I said, those are just my guesses. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Philipp19967]

@@maritta2504 Ah yes Beyonce and her writing skills coming out of nowhere since the album 4 lol. I actually consider Keisha a decent songwriter so I think she can do more than just change lyrics but well, we will never know

[@maritta2504]

@@Philipp19967 well, I do think Keisha is a very capable songwriter too... But agree, we will never know how much input they really had. In many interviews they mention writing the lyrics though (not the melody), so I do think that some or all members might occasionally have gotten writing credits here and there when they didn't completely write the verse and just changed some bits. What really matters for me though is that most of the time, they did have creative input to their songs.

[@Philipp19967]

@@maritta2504 agreed and this is what sett them apart from other 00s girl groups like Girls Aloud, Atomic Kittens or the Saturdays who never really co-wrote their music or got involved in the writing of an album. (Let's ignore Sweet7 please)

[@antonmedvedev1128]

Yes, and I'm really pissed about the Ghosts album, so unnoticed it had gone but not by me! 🤨😒 I bought it in an instant I came across the CD in one the stores on Tverskaya street, I clearly remember I was high on speed that day (night to be exact, the store worked 24/7) and I was in my usual headphones with my usual CD player so I grabbed the album and continued my dancing walk to Siobhan's CD 📀😅😇 I'm clean now, by the way 🙃

[@fallingmusic]

Aside from Never Gonna Dance Again, which other tracks were Carrier over from the TIMW sessions?

[@Onyx765]

I'd love to know the same thing. It's widely speculated that the tracks without writing credits from Amelle may potentially be TIMW leftover tracks, which is practically half of the album🤔

[@adwoamk8918]

I hope they get to perform their solo stuff too, so they can show their different personalities.

[@jaywest3734]

This lineup worked because of the combo of Heidi and Keisha being in the group. Once Keisha left, they became a fucking joke.

[@MiamiVice-dc4vf]

I wouldn't add Heidi to any list in particular, I feel like Keisha was the cement of the Sugababes all along as the group progressed and even when she was kicked out her soul stayed there (pretty much waiting for the replacements to end it which happened and everyone to come along and be back together). Even her background vocals were kept on the only album that had no original member and thus making every Sugababes album have that element of Keisha even when it was soulless.

[@charlesmusicroom]

Amelle reminds me of Mariama of Solid HarmoniE & Honeyz

It appears to be blocked as one of the behind the scenes clips uses a Ciara song and the label has put a copyright ban on it. Ridiculous. Only way around it is to mute the song when it comes on which I'll request and hopefully it won't impact the video too much.
