Jade, the big old liar

Are you sitting down? We've got some bad news - the Sugababes are splitting up! Well, they actually split up two years ago, but they've been lying to us for ages because ... we don't know why, actually. Because Amelle, Heidi and Jade thought we'd all fall apart without the band here to watch over us? We need something to believe in, in these hard times. And the Sugababes clearly thought that THEY were that beacon of hope. And now it's gone. Sorry everyone.
In an interview that sounds like a confession, Jade admitted to Digital Spy that she literally couldn't go on lying about the band coming back next year, and it sounds like once she started talking, she couldn't hold anything back.
Jade on Splash. She's had the worst luck with jobs, hasn't she?

"This is a tricky one because I don't feel comfortable lying, saying we're in the studio recording and we're going to bring music out next year, which seems to be the favoured line," she said. "I think it's unfair to fans and we should be honest. The band being over is definitely not my choice. I kind of was unlucky in that I came in [to Sugababes] towards the end of the cycle when things naturally came to the end. There was so much drama surrounding the group, I think the music just got lost. I don't like all the drama and the negativity. We kind of fizzled out about two years ago."
Which was also when Mutya, Keisha and Siobhan got back together. Interesting. "I do think the lineup changes have obviously got to be a factor, you can't get away from it," Jade continued. "I'd be lying if I didn't think the same when I was approached. I was like, 'Is this going to work? Are people going to accept it?' But I know it's a brand and the music industry isn't necessarily about making music. One day I'm hoping that I'll be able to put out a book and explain that whole chapter."

And in the bleakest look at the music industry EVER, Jade added: "I had to make a decision - a very difficult decision, because I was about making music and the creativity - when I realised that everybody was only interested in the business and that if I ever wanted to put out music I needed to take an opportunity in the short term. I was just trying to survive. I went from Eurovision to being told I had a solo deal to being told, 'You might be dropped'. I'd already had three deals before that and been dropped and it's heartbreaking. I basically thought, 'Alright, I'm going to go for it, see where it takes me'. I did feel to a certain extent that I got lost, but at the same time it was an amazing opportunity. It was almost like a dress rehearsal of being a popstar. But now it's time to move forward... Come on, I've done Eurovision, I've done Sugababes. If it's still hard, should I just give up?"
Don't give up, Jade! There's always Celebrity Masterchef, which Heidi Range recently had a crack at.
And here's MKS's single Flatline, which is out today. Sorry Jade.
