I think they should just go forward and release the album and be done with it. Its gonna be hard with out Simone because I think she was mostly the lead
I really want them to continue, even without Simone, it would honour her memory better than giving up the group. So, so sad though. "Ugly Heart" is such an amazing song and it's like "woah they could be something!" but then all this happened. I can't imagine how these poor girls must feel. They literally just broke through into something pretty major, and then poor Simone... god knows what kinda dark place she must have been in to have chosen to take her life in such an amazing time in her career.
I fully believe they will continue to be great even after Simone. It is still so unbelievably sad, but 3 of the other 4 (sorry Paula) have a lot going for them enough to keep them going strong. They should definitely not disband after how long it took them to get to the point they are at now.
