Sugababes Story: MKmesS... The Final Chapter

Not since Michelle Williams has the phrase 'Poor' been needed than Poor Jade Ewen.  Despite hustling at Eurovision Russia, Girlband Trinity Stone and starring in a Busted video - Jade Ewen never got the appreciation she deserved... until now!  We celebrate Jade Ewens solo career pre and post Sugababes from Splash! to Aladdin. You could say its.... My Time (well, her time - shut up, it worked in our heads) www.podofthepops.co.uk 

Sugababes Solo: Jade Ewen

With Keisha kicked out, the Sugababes quickly (like, 48 hours quick) draft in Eurovision contestant, Jade Ewen, to film the About A Girl video and re-record their final album, Sweet 7.  We cover the release of the album and the slow breakdown of the best selling girlband of the 00s via promo release, Freedom, and a hilarious sponsorship deal with Microsoft Windows

Sugababes Story: Sweet (7) Goodbye - the end of the band... for now!

Final original Sugababe Keisha Buchanan unfairly booted from the band in the middle of promotion for Get Sexy.  Maybe you think she didn't do anything solo..... let us prove you wrong. Unreleased demos, youtube and property. We deep dive into the longest lasting Sugababe.

Sugababes Solo: Keisha Buchanan

Its the big one - the sweet (7) story -final original member Keisha Buchanan kicked out by management in just days before shooting a video!  We discuss the beginnings of the of the Sweet 7 era with the Bruno Mars penned 'Get Sexy' on Roc Nation (Jay-Zs record label). This is less than a year after the motown vibe album, Catfights and Spotlights.  If you thought the Sugababes were over once Mutya left.... you need to think again. We get albums, tours, dramas and - of course - slapping it onto soundtracks.

Who is the only Sugababe to get a solo number one single? Its your girl Amelle! We break down that and all her 'would be, could be' singles. Not to mention a short actress stint, tumbling around in BBC Ones celebrity circus show and more than one controversial court case.

Sugababes Solo: Amelle

Amelle joins the Sugababes and, baby, is she put to work. She re-records an album, pushes out their greatest hits and goes on two tours within 18 months. What a ride. In our 4th suga-story episode we go from the Greatest Hits to the number 1 Changes album. And on the way we pass the GREATEST video known to Babes: Easy. Filmed in a toilet in Romford complete with cubicles, toilet roll holders and red wigs.  Oh, and did you know there was a Sugababes Barbie? There was a Sugababes Barbie and we're going to break it down for you

Sugababes: One Touch - the origin story

Final bonus episode of series 1 celebrating the solo careers of the Spice Girls and we have been inspired by the letter Victoria Beckham wrote in Vogue magazine.  We have written a letter to our pre podcast selves (yes its only been 9 months, but we're very self indulgent). We cover EVERYTHING - from Aarons stint on Britains Got Talent, to Laurens sex life (be safe guys), to Karens anxiety.  We hope you have loved listening as much as we have loved recording. We'll be back in Autumn for series 2.... in the meantime, we'll be chatting all things Spice on social media
