sugababes vs arctic monkeys


already in version 4 mode, the hipper than thou girls of sugababes have been making some of the best non-commital pop music for awhile.

part ghetto fabulous, part post hipster and yet totally pop at the same time, their awesome catalog is only matched with the behind the scenes drama in which key members seem to drop inexplicably all the time.

late last year, founding member mutya beuna (the one that looked like she could cut you in an alley if she wanted to) left for personal reasons and almost overnight amelle berrabah (the one in the middle) jumped in, re-recorded her vocals on their recent album and is preparing to go on tour with the girls in a couple of months.

it seems like the change hasn't affected their fanbase, their current single 'red dress' went #1 in the charts and they made a bit of a surprise ruckus when they performed a version of the arctic monkeys smash ' i bet you look good on the dancefloor'.

with talks to work with scissor sisters and andre 3000 for the next album, looks like V4 will be doing well for the time being.

check out their version of the arctic monkeys while you're at it....
