Mutya has the sexiest voice for me. She, to me, made the groups' sound so distinct.
Arian Aries so true wish she had done more solo stuff but guess she didn't put enough effort into it
I feel the same
@Gold Rose Keisha never left she was pushed out 😒
Mutya for me- her pitch, tone and control is consistent live and on record. While her range isn't as wide as the other girls she's the most soulful/ unique voice of the sugababes
Her range is just as good as the others, she just doesn't feel comfortable at the top.
She does all her own high harmonies on her solo album🤷🏾♂️
👌🏽
Keisha has an amazing voice. It’s the most distinct to me actually. She hits the high notes and rifts effortlessly. But Mutya’s voice is still my favorite.
I feel Keisha warbles too much. I wouldn’t listen to her solo but the group wouldn’t be the same without her.
I feel Keisha is the foundation on which Mutya can shine. Mutya's voice is very unique and doesn't blend well with all voice types but Keisha's voice is perfect to blend with Mutya. So Keisha is the perfect group voice while Mutya has the most stand out solo voice in my opinion. That is also why Mutya had the most successful solo-career out of all the Sugababes.
Mutya is the reason the band stood out. Hands down no doubt about it. She offers something to a girl group sound that we don’t regularly hear. That deep sultry voice. So edgy but still pop. Mutya is my number one.
I have to agree.. After she left.. It's not the same anymore.. When they released change album it's not the same anymore..their best albums are taller in more ways angels with dirrty faces and three
🥳❤
I think Mutya is the best solo singer but Keisha is definitely the strongest vocalist overall and especially for a group. Keisha has the consistency, power and right tone to carry and blend together all voices in no matter which line-up. Mutya's voice is very unique and makes the Sugababes stand out but her voice doesn't blend well with all voices. Keisha is the foundation on which Mutya can shine.
My new order:
Mutya - rich, consistent, unique
Keisha - unmistakeable, riff-queen
Siobhan - soothes, adapts, blends
Jade - powerful, capable, indistinct
Amelle - textured, diction-impaired
Heidi - studio angel, stage demon
Keisha and Mutya are the hallmarks of the Sugababes sound. When Mutya left, it was severely diminished. When Keisha left, it wasn't the Sugababes at all.
This is a nice take on the matter
This is correct. As someone said about Heidi, it is very obvious which of the current three was formerly in Atomic Kitten.... Siobhan holds it down on those harmonies. I'd say Kiesha is the lynch-pin vocally and Mutya is the lynch-pin "vibe" wise.
Actually I think Mutya riffs better and more naturally than Keisha, who can overdo it.
I really appreciate your description here. Very well considered and thought out.
MY NEW ORDER.................NEW ORDER !!
Siobhan’s solo material is outstanding. Ghosts is one of my favourite albums of all time. It’s a shame more people didn’t hear it.
I'm in Australia and when Ghosts was released I absolutely RAVED about it (but unfortunately no-one knew who she was). It continues to be one of my favourite albums. Just spectacular!
YES!!!
Yesssss i love her Album “Ghost”
@Stephen Elizága no
@Stephen Elizága No, that wasn't why she left at all. And it just isn't even true. If anything, she was more prominent in song arrangements than Mutya or Keisha were at that time.
Personally, my favourite line up was Mutya, Heidi and Keisha. Heidi may not have been as strong a singer as Jade but I like her softer tone and think she had prescense and beauty. Mutya's voice is so instantly recognisable and I love her song "this is not real love" with George Michael. And my favourite sugababes song is "About you now"..and also "lost in you"
Amelle sounded really good on the CHANGE album as she finally got to sing songs meant for her vocal and not mimicking or covering Mutya.
Siobhan's two albums were actually really good, just not commercial.
Everyone seems to be slightly biased towards Mutya because of her unique tone and appeal, but an unpopular opinion i completely agree with this list and I think Keisha should be first! Her belts just are so full and soulful to me and she always seemed more of the “vocalist” when Sugababes were starting. After also hearing their flowers cover live, Keishas beginning belt was so pleasant and her ease was great!
I feel bad for Jade: vocally she's phenomenal, and it's a shame she was jammed into the group at its lowest point and she never truly recovered from there. With a voice like that, I wish she'd stuck to her solo career. Probably she does too.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the amount of amazing content we are getting from Georgina!
All good singers in their own way but Mutya is the special one. One of those rare voices that can touch your soul.
I personally love Heidi’s voice!!! But mutya and keisha are my day ones and Siobhan is just an angel!!!
I appreciate you breaking things down and explaining your choices. I personally would've swapped Mutya and Keisha as I've a preference for Mutya's husky tone but this is your list! Nicely done - nice Overload cover too!
Same
Anyone with ears would agree.
@@jasonhopkins7029 well i've got ears and would disagree lmao. Its all about preference
My List would've been
1. Mutya
2.Siobhan
3. Keisha
4.Jade
5. Amelle
6. Heidi
Siobhan 4th? Really? 🤔
She improved a lot in the last years and I don't think she took that into account here
Jade is a much stronger singer, full stop.
My list:
1) Mutya
2) Mutya
3) Mutya
4) Mutya
5) Mutya
6) Mutya
I would agree. But I’d swap 1 and 2 around.
For me:
1) Mutya
2) Siobhan
3) Keisha
4) Jade
5) Amelle
6) Heidi
Mutya has one of the best voices to come out of Britain, never mind Sugababes! Should be #1
Siobhan is number 1 for me.
Keisha is my favourite, too and I've enjoyed watching the videos on her channel during the past few months.
I always loved Heidi! She got to the sing the bridge a lot.
Personal preferences:
1) Mutya. 2) Keisha; Mutya sounds fantastic with her husky "intoxicating" tone and her unique vibrato. Her voice is my favourite. It is the one that stands out because it's edgy, peculiar and unique. Her solos and harmonies made their songs cool and different to those of other girl groups. As a fact, when she left they lost their remarkable signature sound. I love Keisha's sexy vocals in her middle register and loud tone. Mutya and Keisha can sing live and are the soul of the band, it's not Sugababes without these two.
3)Heidi, Siobhan. They both blended well with Mutya and Keisha and I Iike their tones. Both Siobhan and Heidi sound quite distinct but a bit less than M & K.
4) Jade, Amelle. I don't really care about them. Jade has a great voice but doesn't sound unique at all and Amelle's voice is an ugly bad version of Mutya's superior tone. To me the babes are Mutya, Keisha, Heidi and Siobhan
Actual abilities:
1) Jade. I'm shocked that the vocal coach didn't react to her Eurovision song (title?). No one in the group could face that song or display that range. However there's no material enough to judge her evolution during the years and she sounds totally anonymous.
2) Mutya - Keisha - Siobhan. I've never heard Mutya out of tune, she's the most consistent singer out of all the six members and sounds exactly like the record. Keisha has a good range and power. Both have the best runs and riffs out of all the members.
Siobhan has improved a lot and now she's quite on par with Mutya and Keisha. That trio is phenomenal when they sing together. Best "vocal" line-up by far.
3) Amelle. She's not always consistent and the comparison with the superior Mutya is inevitable. She has a decent vibrato and that's it.
4) Heidi. The least consistent live and the most limited singer out of all the members. She's weak out of her comfort zone. Best falsetto (I love it) and lovely high pitched voice. She's part of the best and most iconic line-up which is my favorite. I love the blending of their voices.
Mutyas vibrato isn't unique 🤔 that's a standard vibrato.
Heidi's vibrato is unique, horrible but unique.
Agreed!!
Agree
The OG 3 are great singers, but the mix of them together is next level.
Mutya is hands down the best singer, it's not even a close competition!
Agree with your list and your reasons. Keisha was very consistent. Plus amazing at Adlibs also. I think she really sold middle eights when she did them.
It is a hard choice between her and Mutya. Mutya’s voice tone is absolutely divine but I think Keisha edges it because of vocal range and gymnastics.
Keisha is the best of the best for me. I love her performance, voice, everything. I follow her CZcams video, FB, she is my favourite in the universe.
Heidi stronger than Amelle? I just passed out. I agree with everything else though.
coz the tone of her voice has a characters than amele...
Amelle has a nice husky voice. Heidi had a strange quality when trying to riff. But we can all have opinions.
I think she’s also based her decision on contribution as well, Heidi was much more important to the band than Amelle
Stephan Parker I can’t imagine heidi riffing 😂😂😂
Heidi is the weakest.
This is the video I've been waiting my whole life
What I think is the most important thing here is that we see 6 amazing, distinctive voices that also gave us what, 4? outstanding harmony make-ups. Keisha's made the biggest progress, to be honest she used to be crap in the beginnings. Mutya's voice has changed a bit, it got somewhat deeper, but she's always been consistently stunning, and effortlessly so. Siobhan for me has since the beginning been fabulous (in fact, her voice MADE the debut album if you listen carefully - which I think might possibly be why Keisha didn't like her back then), and only grown stronger in power and control. And excuse me, but her solo career showcases outstanding talent and artistic ability none of the other girls have. Siobhan, of them all, can be called a proper artist. Jade is a solo material, with all good and bad that encompasses. Amelle may not have the range, but I liked her tone and every girlband needs a low-end harmony supporter, for that she was ideal after Mutya. And as for Heidi, she may suck live at times (not in slower or acoustic perfomances, mind you!), but when relaxed her voice is distinct, she has warm and interesting lower register and a delightful airy falsetto, she was the touch of sweetness that frankly ALL the other girls missed. They all added their special something, I think it worked enormously well in practically all instances. Sugababes have to me always been a superb showcase of vocal diversity and interplay. Love them all, shall we?
Great review and I agree with you almost 100% but personally, Mutya's voice always stood out to me and I think it certainly outshone Keisha's. Nobody could riff as beautifully as she did and her tone was just so distinct - in my mind, no other member could top Mutya when it came to vocal ability. I liked Heidi's voice too but she was definitely hit and his when singing live so I do agree with her positioning. Can't wait to see more Sugababes!
I definitely agree with this list. Keisha's voice was the backbone of the signature sugababes sound. Even when singing in the harmonies or pulled back you could clearly hear her tone and it doesn't surprise me that things just weren't the same without her.
Siobhàn’s voice is by far the best. Her solo material was the best music from the entire bunch
Mutya and Siobhan are the best to me. I just love their voices.
Agreed!
good choice
MUTYA IS NUMBER 1 !
Mutya would be my number one just for how distinctive her voice is and her whole look too. I wonder where she is now.
Shes back with Keisha and Siobhan they are working towards a new sugababes project next year
Heidi’s voice blended so well with Mutya and Keisha.
Indeed❤
so was siobhan’s. heidi was selected by keisha and mutya cause she sounded similar to siobhan.
Siobhan is overall dull. Heidi was better
Your always making my day Happy my Honest Vocal Coach.😍🌻❤️💕
Mutya is definitely my number one. Keisha's higher notes are kind of grating and annoying to me
Keisha is very sharp and pitchy on a regular basis, but when she's on point she sounds amazing
Wrote down my order before watching and it’s exactly the same! For me this is definitely the right vocal order especially in respect of their place in the Sugababes
Now we need the Saturdays and atomic kitten
Atomic Kitten!!! Yes, please :)))
Has to be Mutya. She just has a style that the others mix well with. She gels with them all vocally. They come and go. She is the foundation.
Cool clip Thanks!!! Love The Sugababes and all of the girls!!🤩👍
Jade, snatching breath all over the place? Yet Siobhan is so relaxed and flexible- really? I think this is preference over technique
To me Mutya has the most beautiful tone of voice. She's one of my favorite vocal singer ever. Then i will say Keisha, Siobhan and Heidi.
Excited for this one!!!
I like Mutya's voice the most, but I agree technique wise and ability to adapt in the Sugababes is how I would judge it. I never thought of Jade as a sugababe and amelle's voice never sat quite right with me, because I am such a Mutya fan. I am just sad that Heidi's recording vocals were so good, but her live vocals weren't always the best.
Mutya by far is the best singer for me, she's a natural singer with tone and depth, when she left is really was over cause her talent was unlike any other in the group - SHE was the voice of the Sugababes! :-)
I'd completely forgotten about Sugababes!! They were so original and all talented singers in their own ways. Thanks for the trip down memory lane :)
I still prefer Siobhan. She's so unique
I am so shocked that Mutya was not #1. If she had the self confidence she could have been a solo superstar. Mutya has that Amy Winehouse one of a kind thing.
I think Georgina has a point by saying that Keisha is the most consistent because she is the backbone of the group and her voice the most versatile. Mutya's voice is definitely the signature voice that makes the Babes stand out but Keisha is the perfect baseline to blend in all the voices no matter which line up it was. Mutya's voice can easily clash with others but Keisha's voice can blend with all of them while adding so much warmth and style. Keisha still has the skill to stand out though when she wants to. So, the skill to blend in and out of the songs makes Keisha the ＃1 of Sugababes. I looove Mutya's voice too though. My ＃3 is Siobhan and the rest... I don't really care for.
100% agree with this order
Spot on!.. I agree with this order.
Love it! x
I actually think you’re spot on 👍🏻
You nailed this
A mate of mine was part of the backing band during the time one of the Sugababes got sacked and Jade came. Interesting times when you're on the inside watching the shananigans take place.
What where some of the shenanigans he witnessed?
Girl don't tease us! We need the tea and we'll take it scalding!!
Ronnie Nose You managed to say a lot and yet say nothing at all... 🤦🏿♂️.
Mutya. Hands down
As for the next groups... All Saints and Mis-teeq please!
Love these clips ❤️ more Girls Aloud too please x
I completely agree with your choices. Mutya for me has that iconic Sugababes sound and I think it’s in her vocal styling that we all love!
If I would created the list on today’s skill levels Siobhan would be my number one even, I think.
Since I started listening to them with Round Round, for me Heidi was always as much a staple as the other two were. But with the OG lineup being together now you can hear the growth to new horizons and I think most of it Siobhan, she connects with her voice the other two so perfectly, blends in, stands out for the right reasons and has a soft but super powerful voice at the same time. I just love her voice so so much.
Heidi for me is the best
Heidi didnt make the group commercial. Keisha and Mutya already had that covered.
Keisha is a force such an effortless songstress
Heidi is my favourite Sugababe but she's not the best live.
Queen Heidi of incredible Range
I think shes charming live I love an underdog.
Shes the worst live Singer in the band
Wow. Mutya at #2? I would have put Keisha at #2. In the scheme of putting it all together with harmonies, it would be Sugababes 2.0.
Absolutely agreed! Keisha is an amazing singer! The others were good, but her voice has fire in it!
She's mostly the lead singer right?
No for full on pitch, tone, texture and taking out pitch it has too be Mutya first hands down.
Mutya has a very distinctive voice. Keisha may be the most technically skilled but her voice alone has a tone that disturbs me after some time. Siobhan was love at first hearing when I discovered her music with Ghosts. That album is just magical, a precious rare gem that came to surface from the depths of the unknown because seems pop and overproduced but in fact has a very alternative sound and still is familiar, with great hooks and melodies. And when you hear Siobhan live and hear that album, you will be pretty sure that it's not overproduced... Her voice is clear as crystal, and her versatility shines throughout the songs. The way she sustain the notes is sublime. On the opposite of Keisha, I can hear Siobhan for hours and feel pleased.
I agree with your list upto the top two. I would have put Keisha 2nd and Mutya 1st. But thats my opinion. Great list though. And a great series! Thank you.
I agree. Keisha has always been my favorite by a mile. I love them all, but Keisha's vocals just touch my soul.
My List is
1 Keisha she is a powerhouse
2 Mutya she has a soulful voice
3 Siobhan she has a versatile angelic voice
4 Jade another angelic voice
5 Amelle she has a similar tone like Mutya but it has a jazz fill to it
6 Heidi the weakest voice
I love Heidi's voice
Keisha is the #1 for me, she carried the group when Mutya left.
1. Siobhan
2. Mutya
3. Keisha
4. Jade
5. Heidi
6. Amelle
I understand why you have rated them in this order based on what you said but not the clips you have shown. My top 6 purely based on live performances would be :
6. Heidi (great recorded struggles live)
5. Amelle ( not including Mutya songs)
4. Jade (Great voice but you're right her voice doesn't fit with the Sugababes blend of harmonies as it overpowers the others)
3. Siobhan ( Recorded she would be Number 1 and her voice has grown the most but she's up against two amazing singers and it's hard to put any of them above the other honestly cos together they are magic)
2. Keisha. She is the adlib queen and often has the hardest parts and most memorable parts of songs.
1. Mutya. The voice of our generation. Consistent live flawless vocals..never out of tune..never too much or too little always exactly on point whether drunk or sober. The ultimate real girl and most likeable babe. However her solo album although soulful and a good listen just isn't the same. She thrives with Keisha and Siobhan and together they make what dreams are made of.
Mutya by far has the better voice out of all of them she my favourite ❤️
Heidi's voice blended so well with Mutya and Keisha.. then when she did her verse. It was the icing on the cake. The real Sugababes is Heidi, Mutya and Keisha
From weakest to strongest:
6) Heidi - Great recording voice, improved a lot as the years have gone by. Live singing is where she's very inconsistent, very seldom she would sound like the actual recording, very forced and unnatural vibrato, voices tends to shake during the end of a note, high harmonies were a bit off at times, she has probably the best falsetto out of all of them, doesn't sound good when singing in lower register. Acoustic performances is where she shines, so a lot of it maybe has to do with the nerves for her, even though she looked the most confident out of all of them.
5) Amelle - I always thought she was good. Very simply, not impressive, not amazing, nor ncredible, just good a singer, perfect for a member of a band. I do agree they were trying to find someone with a husky tone, similar to Mutya's however, I feel as though Amelle really found her own style of singing with her first complete album with the girls. Nice vibrato, riffs aren't as good ( usually in the songs where Mutya was the original singer ), over the years I do believe she has improved quite a bit in terms of the agility of the voice and belting and also her stage presence has gotten better as well. Sounds the best when singing in lower register.
4) Siobhan - As we go down, the list becomes more difficult because I absolutely adore Siobhan's voice. Probably the most emotional singer out of all the members of the Sugababes, I really believe what she sings and has a way of beautifully conveying the message of a song. She was always good, not incredible in the beginning, but my god she has improved immensely.Unlike Amelle who sounded contrived in Mutya's parts, Siobhan shined on Heidi's parts when they did several old school songs and I really enjoyed her own personal touches to Heidi's parts as well, she made it her own. Stage presence however was always, and I feel even today, just awkward. I also believe she is much better off as a solo singer, but maybe that's just my opinion :)
3) Keisha - The best "ad-liber" in the band! Has a distinct recognizable voice in every single song that the girls did, actually one of the great things about Sugababes, you always knew who sang which part, even when they layered up the harmonies. Keisha was the best in terms of singing the highest harmony and amazing at riffing, when ad libing is where is conveyed the emotion of a song the best and also great using her chest voice. Slightly disappointed in her lower register, often she struggled staying in the original key when singing low. Stage presence was always great and she usually was the one who engages with the crowd the most!
2) Jade - Totally underrated. Probably the most strongest voice out of all six members. She has a diva quality to her voice. Definitely not suited to sing in a band and best as a solo singer. I am yet to encounter a performance where Jade was vocally weak with the girls, should have always sung the melody in chorus and never low or high harmony. In fact couple of songs on their last album ( Sweet 7 ), where I think she did great, she breathed life into couple of songs that sounded quite dull with Keisha. Again shines in ad-libs, hence why she I guess replaced Keisha. Sadly, sometimes the lower notes were not well supported.
1) Mutya - The voice of the Sugababes. In terms of her technique, there's not a single bad word I can say. She was consistently amazing and capable of singing the entire song by herself and make it sound great on other girls' parts. Amazing control and tone, an underrated ad-liber! She actually is very good at bringing a song to a climax, which is usually Keisha's role wish she sang on more songs like that. The best lower register out of all the girls, but high notes were impressive as well. Recognizable voice from the beginning, and I loved the fact that she usually was the one to open a song with her part. The only bad part, at times, she lacked emotion when singing and obviously the stage presence was dull even though stage presence has improved since the MKS era.
Heidi's falsetto is not better than Keisha's or Siobhan's 😂🤣😂🤣😂
What are you taking so I can avoid it?
I love how all 6 are in the thumbnail
I think you did a fantastic assessment, it wasn’t bias. Keisha is by far the most well rounded, she has power range and tone and controlled and consistent.
Awesome video. The list makes sense. The Saturdays next?
I love amelle prob my favorite sugababes. But mutya & kesha have best voices. My favorite, vocal wise
For me it was a complete toss up between Mutya & Keisha. Keisha’s riffs & Mutya’s tone...🤔🔥🤘🏻 Then I’d probably go Jade, Siobhan, Amelle & then Heidi
Yep
Good listing.. love it..
Pleasantly surprised to see Keisha as number 1 since I always thought she was overlooked in the band, particularly at the start when it was all about siobhan, mutya and then heidi. For me, her voice has also grown and matured the most over the years
Ive always found Keisha to have some of the strongest vocals with fantastic technique but she always seems to let the other girls take the leads and either rif over it or harmonise. I think when Mutya left she picked up a lot of pressure to carry the band with her strong vocals and she did an awesome job it really shows on the songs around that time
I disagree I feel like Keisha had more lines and vocal moments then a few others ns
Aww nooo no more Sugababes vids 😔
Thanks for this series 💙
I feel the ratings are pretty accurate and fair 👍🏼
Keisha, Queen Bee of the ‘Babes 🐝
Here’s to the next series....🥳
I actually agree with this list definitely
Loved this series. Suggestions for the next girl group reactions- fifth harmony and little mix
I don't agree but I respect! And WOW Keisha needs more appreciation from the mainstream, so thank you.
Georgina I love you but Siobhan does not get the recognition she deserves in this channel :( Also, has anyone noticed how amelle in that clip lost the 'husky' tone that made her be compared to mutya smh. Is my life a lie? lol so many questions
Here for the comment section
Everyone might have a different opinion about where they’d rank each of the Sugababes, but I think we can all agree that:
*_🗣🔊THERE ARE NO WEAK SINGERS IN THE SUGABABES!!!🙌🏾👏🏾🎤🔥✨_*
Preach!
Except Heidi
GoodOlAllisonHarvard THIS! ALL👏🏽OF👏🏽THIS👏🏽

Sugarbabes for me growing up was Mutya, Keisha, Heidi. Great music videos and brilliant songs.
You must be so proud, you said it correctly, now with jade Ewan in Hollywood playing marey Carey .and theatre before that, i thought her Eurovision song rehearsal was outstanding in 2009
The three that sounded the best together is Mutya, Keisha & Heidi. They should have kept that line up.
Agree Siobhan isn't a Sugababe.
100% the right choice. Keisha’s voice is one of the best in popular music ever.
Mutya & Siobhan share the spot at Number 1 for me 🏆
