Sugababes JCPenney Here Come The Girls

JCPenney's Girl Power 'Anthem' Sounds a Little Familiar
By Kiran Aditham on Apr 01, 2010 01:49 PMA tipster informed us that Saatchi & Saatchi's new spot for JCPenney called "Anthem" rips off Mother London's ad for Boots from 2007. Like the case presented in the Kia Super Bowl ad suit, music seems to be the key link between the two here as the same song, "Here Comes the Girls", is used in both. Still, we much prefer Ernie K-Doe's soulful version in the British advert (which is far better overall) than the poppier one sung by Sugababes in the JCPenney spot, which is below. Boots is after the jump.






New Line up Temporary Sugababe !

Oh good God, the Sugababes line up has changed AGAIN






From Daily Mirror 3AM
Yeah, so, as surely as day follows night and yawns follow the mere mention of Peter Andre’s name, the Sugababes have disbanded.

But Heidi and Amelle are staying on.

*wink wink*

And they’ll be joined by new member Soo and will henceforth be known as the Soogababes.

*nudge nudge*

Yes, Soo.

Soo the panda. The panda puppet from The Sooty Show.

*wink wink winky winky wink wink*

Christ, we’re developing eyelid-ache with all this knowing winking.

Soo, choosing not to speak through a soo-urce, said: “I’m really grateful to Sooty and Sweep for all the work they’ve given me over the years but it seems Heidi and Amelle have finally recognised my immense talent. Until now my music career was mostly playing the keyboard at Sooty’s concerts but the Sugababes hits certainly beat endless encores of “Teddy Bears Picnic!”

And that’s enough of that.

But do check out her audition tape here: it made us all laugh out loud - or LOL, if you will - which is some kind of record cuz there's normally one of us with a cob on.


Happy April Fools Day !

The UK Asian Music Awards went down in London earlier in March and DH! made sure the evening sizzled to the max by presenting the girls from the Sugababes who performed and handed out an award to Jay Sean.

Everyone was screaming with excitement when the sexy ladies hit the stage, performing their track "About a Girl" remixed by Urban Desi producer Mentor.

DH! even hooked the babes up with a few Dhol players from Drumline Entertainment to add some Desi flavor to the show that was truly spectacular!

And now the music video to the hot Desified remix is out!
The Sugababes continue to be one of Britain's most exciting and dynamic bands. With an amazing mix of genius songs, pure talent and total drama, they have constantly surprised, transformed and entertained.

With over seven million albums and three million singles sold, they have also amassed more Top 10 singles than the Spice Girls, All Saints or Destiny's Child, just to name a few. With three triple-platinum albums, numerous sold out tours and number one hits in over 15 countries, they have consistently stayed at the top of the game.

And now they are ready to take over the Indian market as they are set to head out to India on April 21 to perform at the IPL closing ceremony on April 23 and 25. The girls told DH! they are eager to put on a show for all their Indian fans:

"We are very excited about performing at such a prestigious event. We very honored to be invited to be part of it. We have always wanted to perform over in India and we are looking forward not only to the performance but experiencing such a wonderful culture."

Looks like Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen are ready to dominate India!

Mentor has been an established producer and remixer whose past credits include Timbaland and Magoo, Craig David, Jay Sean, Juggy D, AG Dolla, Nitin Sawhney, Veronica and Jon B. Known for his hard-hitting and culturally diverse beats, Mentor was the founder of number 1 selling group the Mentor Kolektiv and produced the critically acclaimed album "Broke."

The producer told DH! he was excited to work on this project:

"My vision for this remix sees the Sugababes conquering the South Asian subcontinent. They're a great girl band that has dominated the European market, and this remix will be their introduction to Asian music lovers around the world. It's a Desi twist on the original track. I stripped down the drums and instruments and rebuilt the track with the view to make it really groove - Desi style!"

"I also hope it will appeal to non Asians and make them see the Sugababes in a different light. The original track was one of my favorite Sugababes tunes and I relished the opportunity to work on it. Big thanks to DesiHits.com for hooking up the project," he added.

So check out Mentor's DesiHits! remix of the Sugababes "About a Girl" and let us know what you think; is it a true club banger? Share your thoughts.

A national radio station has raised over £300,000 for a charity that aims to grant wishes to terminally ill children.

The Starlight Children’s Foundation received the money after Heart FM’s Have a Heart campaign saw presenters, listeners and celebrity supporters combine efforts to help raise funds.

The week-long event saw a host of stars including JLS, Alisha Keys and the Sugababes visit Heart radio station to co-present shows, donate auction lots, perform live sets and answer phone calls in the appeal’s call centre.

“I’ve experienced first hand being on a hospital ward with my younger brother who has cerebral palsy. Anything you can do to make that journey smoother and more entertaining for children is an amazing thing to do,” said singer Alesha Dixon.

Lots on offer included “meet-and-greets” with musicians such as Alicia Keys and Robbie Williams, which raised £15,000 each, as well as 5-star holidays.

All funds raised will help the foundation to provide year-round entertainment on hospital wards across the country using technology including High-Definition flat screen televisions and games consoles.

Abbie sets sights on stardom after recording with the Sugababes


Abbie sets sights on stardom after recording with the Sugababes

AFTER a recording session with pop group the Sugababes, a Stratton teenager has vowed the next time she returns to the world-famous Abbey Road Studios she will be the superstar.

Talented Abbie Lea Drew beat off competition from 4,000 other hopefuls from around the country to win the Heart FM ‘Live Like a Sugababe’ competition.

She filmed herself singing their hit About A Girl which was voted number one by radio listeners in an online competition. She sang the same song in the studio with the girl group.

The 15-year-old said she felt like a celebrity as she bumped into Amy Winehouse during a £500-shopping spree in Selfridges, stayed in a £1,000 a night suite at the Mayfair Hotel and was treated to champagne and chocolate covered strawberries.

The Cirencester Deer Park student was also given tips from the Sugababes vocal coach, interviewed by celebrity magazine Closer and followed around by the Heart FM film crew.

Abbie said: "It was absolutely amazing – the Sugababes gave me such good advice. They told me if I get knocked down just to get back up again.

"Even though I only met Amelle and Heidi because Jade was ill I loved every minute of it. They were great and so down-to-earth.

"Heidi said when she was a teenager she wrote lots of letters to music companies and was eventually signed when she was just 18."

Abbie said she now plans to write letters herself and record demo CDs to send off to recording studios.

"Without a doubt this is definitely what I want to do," she added.
