Jade should never have joined the band in the first place, she has an amazing voice and could easily have had a very successful solo career instead of joining a band that was already on its last legs.
the whole situation is so vague.Though I can see Amelle and Heidi keep saying thinsg since they were basically already label puppets. MKS confirmed that they were manipulated by their management, so those people are like Poison, it is just a machine for them and even though Amelle probably always desired a solo career, she has een long enough in the Sugababes brand to become under their control.
Jade really seems odd in this whole situation, she really just seems to fill in a spot, but fell apart from everything. She never really was a part of the "fight", it felt like she was having an side-adventure.
What I sill dn't get is that the Sugababes "brand" could have easily be milked a bit more in the last months. They easily could have released a second singles collection under their name, put Freedom there and some unreleased 4.0. song and they would have been done, no promotion needed at all. Just wondering this from a business point of view.
