As previously reported, Buena’s lawyers, Kilburn & Strode, told the BBC on Wednesday that they were “hopeful” that the application would be approved. If it is, Buena’s claim for ownership of the name in relation to sound, video and data recordings, paper, cardboard and goods made from these materials, and entertainment generally will put the group in an awkward situation, forcing them to either do a deal with her (which it seems unlikely she would be willing to do) or change their name to something else. May I suggest The Glucose Chicks?
However, the group’s longest serving member Heidi Range doesn’t reckon it’s likely to come to that. (How about Sucrose Ladies?) She told BBC Newsbeat yesterday: “Our record company own the name Sugababes, so there’s no conversations about who owns the name.I signed to Universal Records eight and a half years ago with Mutya and Keisha [Buchanan] as the Sugababes, so we’ve still got the name”.
New girl Jade Ewen added: “It would be nice for [negative reactions to the group's new line-up] to be a bit more positive but it’s to be expected. We can’t even blame anybody for feeling the way they do”.
