The End of The Sugababes!

Well I guess everyone has heard!

Keisha Buchanan was forced out of the Sugababes, now I was reading an article by the guardian how it is the end of the sugababes and i did think well perhaps not because lets be honest they didn't really strike mass popularity until heidi range joined. Though after considering it, I do believe it is. They have survived a generation from the death of the spice girls through battling atomic kitten and won that match with ease surviving the pop cull of the early 00's seeing s club 7 and steps and so became britains most succesful girl band and one of the biggest pop acts of the 21st Century even in my view out pushing Girls aloud!

When Amelle Berrabah came in to replace Mutya Buena, many thought it wouldn't be long before the end but they soldiered with after releasing the greatest hits on and continued to have a massive hit about you now launching them back at the top of british pop. The link though with them still being the Sugababes seeming rather tenous, and keisha was really the final bridge to those innocent teenage beginning in 1998, and their first hits such as overload. Though it was Amelle who was speculated to leave the multi platinum girl band, after her number 1 hit with tinchy stryder, then ofcourse Keisha was forced out, the reasons still are not clear but the effect

as Mutya said on her twitter page "It all started so innocently ...a love for music and a

dream...look what its become RIP x"

I think really sums it up it has become a farse especially with the choice of replacement the tribute act to leona lewis that was our eurovision entrant this year *refuse to say her name she's supposed to be Keishas' friend*. I find it incredibly difficult to see her working within that sound of the sugababes, she is slightly odd looking and though can not argue witht the fact she can sing, it is hard to see where she fits into the market. Not strong enough in attitude and voice to be a solo act ( evidence being her last song and video! which I will not link its rubbish) , and awkward to be part of a group. So I think it is the end of the babes! well at least as we know them...

I feel so sorry for keisha who recently broke down in tears in public at the Fashion London week party, it is awful for a girl who has matured into a wonderful woman with the group.My heart goes out to her who has worked hard to keep the Sugababes ship steady for the past ten years, I hope the Sugababes fall in to that black hole of forgotten about pop acts, and Keisha comes out with a powerful debut album, and puts two fingers up to the group who failed to support her especially Heidi...

For all the best news on it i suggest you keep your eyes on twitter

Update!

Update!

Well I've been back and forward from london moved into my new flat and been locked in twice, to great amusement to my mates! I had a absoltuely fab night out with Rosie a great mate who I met out in South Africa this summer, both of us sort of live in London. I ended up showing her the delights of a gay night out in Londinium! Finishing the night off in Heaven which was fairly eventful for the both of us hahaha ....................say no more

Then two nights ago I headed home, had a great night out back in Swindon town, with mates from school was really fun to catch up havn't done that in such a long time. I am absolutley itching now though to get back to the city but money is a little bit of a worry well isn't it always! So I am at my parents now, home (ish), for another couple of days.

Other than that in the news US Open a Williams sister did not win, but one certainly grabbed the headlines! A awful foot fault decision from my view by a line official, sent Serena serving to stay in the match go skitz. Who can blame her really it was a dreadful moment to do such a thing when even if it was I've seen many not ignored throughout this grand slam and many many others! The timing was atrocious and Serena wasn't even guilty of anything. I also think for Kim it wasn't a nice experience. It meant Serena was defaulted the point and the match...In entertainment at the vma's Kanye West also and a head rush moment and in the middle of Taylor Swift speaking, claimed that Beyonce had a better video....

TO EVERYONES HORROR! well it all makes for great headlines for MTV!

Other than that I'll honestly try and post more often and don't forget you see my minifeed at my twitter page www.twitter.com/davidjohnbrewer

Beverley Knights New Album 100%

Juts bought it this morning and had to make a post about it separate i decided because it is a phenomenal album!!! The album is a fanastic mix of classic soul contemporary rnb and power ballads. The writing is possibly the best part of the album, its clever intuitive and beleivable as she writes from personal experience and it really comes across as 100% hers!

My favourite tracks are Breakout, 100%, soul survivor, turned to stone and square peg, the last being for me one of the most intelligent and careful piece of writing. The emotions are truely expressed by her fantastic true and very clean voice!!!

I hope to soul survivor as a released track it is unbeleiveably good!!

Love you BEVERLEY KNIGHT!!!

Upset about US Open and the Release of Beveley Knights New Album 100%

Venus Williams lost 6-0 0-6 6-4 to Kim Clijsters yesterday it was deeply upsetting for me I am a huge fan of hers and she had opportunities to break back but it was sad and a brave fight from venus when her tennis wasn't always there!

I just hope she picks herself up stronger and ready to fight again!!! In other tennis news on the womans side top seeds have fallen like pawns on a chess board! Serena is the only top 5 player left

Wozniacki and Pennetta the only other top 10 players left. With only 4 seeds left. It is honestly the most open a womans US Open field has probably ever been. On the top half none of the 4 have made the last 8 or further at a slam. Oudin for me has been the stand out player knocking out Dementieva, Sharapova and then yesterday Petrova - the russian killer! Serena looks to be the one for the womans title!

On the mens side the six big names remain minus one Andy Roddick, who suffered a hard lost to Isner in a five set battle losing 7-6 in the fifth. Other than that Roger seems to be on cruise and Djockovic waltzed pass Stepanek. Nadal who is underplaying his knee troubles and Murray play for quarter final spots against Monfils and Cilic respectively very tough opponents ( and upset is possible tonight!)

Personal Update

I am also going to do a little personal post give myself an update!

So what I'm really excited because I got the keys to my new place okay okay its in stockwell i know yada yada yada what people say about south of the river and its a load of ...! because I love it down that way and its not far from Clapham and I can get into uni in 20 minutes, its just right for me and the people i'm sharing the flat share with Mark and Diego are lovely and seem very genuine! It's also a very clean a modern flat, most of all its secure which I love!

I'm also looking forward to heading back to university now, its exciting think I must start doing some reading, I really must . I'm going to look later at jobs, cv writing ang work experience very tedious and boring stuff.

I am just listening to a bit of Aretha right now and I have not done properly ever and her voice is just incredible she truely is the queen of soul.

US Open Update! The Women Start to answer their critics!

The first week is nearly over and really the big stories have been on the womens where two of the top 5 players have dropped out, and in addition to that another top 10 player Victoria Azarenka went out last night.

The players in question are Jelena Jankovic who went out to the hands of Shevedova and Elena Dementieva was beaten in a stellar match by a new american sweet heart Melanie Oudin.

Both Shevedova and Oudin proved in these matches that there is depth in womens tennis, that the top players can't just walked throuhgh to the latters stages without so much as a few warm up matches.

Melanie Oudin for me was the stand out performance, no disrespect to Shevedova but Jankovic is not quite in the same form as Dementieva, plus was on a winning streak coming into this event. On top of that Melanie Oudin suffered from a thigh injury in the match and just went for broke producing huge winners all over the court. This is also her second great performance in a Slam this year where earlier she came through qualifying to the fourth round at Wimbledon.

With Venus and Safina having to both come through three set matches, and the women have actually I think produced so far the most interesting matches so far. That maybe the Women are indeed answering their critics...?

As for the men it has started to warm up with both Murray and Nadal dropping sets moving into the last 32 , yesterday. The tournament is gathering pace and energy...I can;t wait

VENUS WILLIAMS FIGHTS!

The 2009 US Open last night had its first thriller, Venus Williams coming off a run of bad matches on tour losing the last 3 of 4 had to battle past Vera Dushevina.

Venus was broken early on in the first set at the first sit down she was 2-1, when she took a time out on a knee injury. The first set went on and on in a topsy turvy manner until they reach 6-6

where Venus lead 5-3 in the tie break. She then went to lose it 7-5, after foot faulting.

Venus, then somehow bludgened her way to a 7-5 win in the second set coming back from being a break down at 5-4 with Vera only 3 points from victory, and Williams from a humiliating defeat. She managed to find form and win the next seven games. Giving Venus a 4-0 lead in the third, the drama doesn't end there Dushevina came back to 4-3 before Venus finally after 2hours and 43 minutes came through into the second round.

In a post match interview Venus stated "She was playing very well. I had a challenge on my hands today. But I wanted to win" adding "Each good shot and each not-so good shot I put behind me"

I was totally nerved racked about this match, Venus has never lost opening encounters at the US Open and she wasn't going to start now.

I especially liked her Tweet before she went to bed.

"Gnite everyone! Success tonight depsite a few hiccups. I am going to get some rest and gear up for the next match!"
