SugaJades Video Tragedy!

You are about to witness one of the most disturbing things you have ever seen... Those of a nervous disposition please look away now! The official Sugababes tribute band 'The SugaJades' as they are now called (well on this blog at least) have released their newest video for their next (s)hit single "About a Girl"!
The title sort of screams to me... "you liked 'About You Now' and you liked the novelty YMCA style song 'Here Come The Girls'... so we've mashed the name an you'll love this!
Unfortunately a big budget, picturesque scenery, and a modern Eurovision goddess produced this....

I like the countdown at the beginning... gives me time to really think through if I want to watch the video again!
Now the video starts... and I think this might seam an extremely embarrassing thing to admit, but the first thing I noticed was that it appears to be the same set as 'S Club 7 - S Club Party'!

Am I right? Am I wrong? Am I sad because I recognised an S Club video set (YES!!)
The bad guys speech is simply cringey, and a much better result could have been produced though mime I believe!
Hold on... the script just gets better.. "You see it yet?" "Not Yet!" "Oh wait.. Is that it right there?" "Yeah that's it!"(End Scene) It's almost Shakespearean!

Look out! someone's in gear for some major chaffing!

Now the plot thickens as the extremely eloquent ladies leave the car... but wait.. could It be??? Yes its Sugababes V2.0!! Here we discover it is actually based on a real life story of Heidi, Mutya and Keisha!

Further on were treated to some more excellent script! It's almost like what you would get if one of those Hitler spoof videos was written by a 3 yr old!
"So...? So...? You want to show it or not? You want to see it? Yes, let's see it! SEE THIS!!!" I am in LOVE with the caps lock use during this gripping piece of drama!

2:27 mark shows some fantastic shot caravan wobbling! It really captures the ruckus inside, by slightly rocking!
Here's some final classic, and actually my favourite, lines...

"Come over here... I will get you" "Come back here... don't do that!!"
The video ultimately distracts from what is a really a mediocre piece of modern Swedish born pop! If you had given this to September or Gathantia they might have ripped it! Instead for me I think the song an video as a whole under writes everything the former band (Sugababes) have done before! They used to sing from the soul, now they flash their knickers to any hip producer that will work with them! Seriously though, watch the video... here the song... and think... If this had been a random girlband debut single with the same video, would anyone give a rats ass? Or would it be one of the many overlooked European acts that never reach the UK shores each year! On this my final point I will be... this track wouldn't have looked out of place on the very disappointing Monrose 'I Am' album (though there is still hope with Monrose, and hopefully with The SugaJades)!

M.I.A. Legend: Call It Love, If You Want.. I Call Them Deuce!

Ok guys here is the first legend I want to discuss on this blog!

Deuce were (well should I say are because they live on in many hearts?) a boy/girl band from the 90's! As you can see from the photo, their style was subtle :P!
There music is sheer pop, they took on pop in fantastic form, producing song with substance, style and class!

There single 'I Need You' shown above was the first single I ever bought, and there album was my first too! (Lets just hope I get famous so I can answer that if anyone asks!)

As you will soon be aware, I'm a Eurovision addict.. so when they tried to take part to represent UK this would have been a fantastic moment in Eurovision history, but they were bet by worst UK act ever! Wikipedia it because I cant even mention there names!!
Though there videos were classics, their performances were the bomb!

So what happened to them? Truthfully I don't really have a clue! Firstly the lady whos voice sounded like she had balls of steal, Kelly (Looking hot in neon over there) left and was replaced by a clone of her, who mimed to her voice for a bit!
Then they released the snoozefest of 'No Surrender' (Which I've posted in the only bearable version I know!). Being a kid at the time, this failed to be caught on my radar, and it was not until my sisters came home from the Smash Hits Tour and told me Kelly had clone girl instead of her that I knew the end was near!
There album is a must have, don't know where to buy it now, but its worth the hunt! Hit after hit on it, well part from some misses i.e. 'Kiss It', pop masterpieces and ballads, must have album!
I will be first in line for their reunion, that better happen soon! Or maybe I'll just wait and form a tribute band!

Thats Deuce in a nutshell! I'll probably break them down a little more in different posts.. just depends where my head wonders!
