Sugababes & Dusty Springfield

[Washhsawwash]

Sugababes are nothing compared to Dusty, anyway I guess the whole presentation was respectful!

[HitchHikersBlues]

What a pile of shite...

Good job too!

Dusty Springfield isn't around to see her music being tortured.

[jmccann666]

dusty is no 1 all the way, when it comes to look back into history who will you remember, the answer is easy "Dusty" it was always a privalage to listen to her voice

[rosebayman]

smile away Dusty, these girls don't even come close

[dizzydevil547]

when the hell was this broadcast i missed it lol!

[agentamour]

hahahahah did you have posters on your walls of the sugar babes? lol Like how old are they to you? lol

[HeathenLoveGod]

god, they're thick aren't they!?

[sweeney37]

Yeah that worked ?

[DjAvAnTgArdE69]

hey not too many people could pull off something live like that and be absolutely perfected it's not an easy task and they did well

[lasktguy]

Well that was unusual. Those girls are at best slightly above average. Is this pretend dueting with famous singers their gimmick? I can't see where they could be all that famous on their singing alone. Their voices are nothing special and not at all memorable.

[herasmarket]

hey they didn't just sing they sang with the diva

DUSTY!

[BerlinBunker1]

Sugarboobs.

[BrisbaneBoy86]

Pulp Fiction was made in 1984 now was it? Okay, Vernon. Think you might need to sack your researchers there!

[knwurselfjizz]

No it wernt...1994 u idiot!

[BrisbaneBoy86]

Sorry what? Was that directed at me?

If so, I know the film was made in 1994. Read what I originally typed!

[knwurselfjizz]

Oh shit sorry hahahaha! i just listened again to it..1984?? where the hell did he get that from :S

[etcapela]

oh dear....not a good idea.

[wilco9971]

to be fair, imo Dusty outshone Martha Reeves when she dueted in '65' on wishin and hopin so the Sugababes stood absolutely no chance. Suicide putting yourself up against perhaps the greatest white singer of all time (as Elton John calls her)

[BlackMonk66]

I'm not sure I'd even qualify that with "white." I do give the Sugababes credit for having the guts to do this in public. I don't think they were bad, but singing next to Dusty, EVERYONE comes off second-best. On the other hand, it probably was fun for them.

[suckermc]

the song is from the vandellas.

[jaivomi]

Everyone needs to stop bitching about the sugarbabes. You heard what Vernon said... their successful. I love Dusty and yes this wasn't their greatest performance but if you aint heard of them you must have spent the last 10 years as a recluse.

[arfurchance10]

WHO! and Dusty Springfield? thats like putting donkey's in the Grand National, there was only Dusty sang in tune, in fact the others were so far out they were'nt even on the same track.

R.I.P Dusty, don't blame us, we had nothing to do with this cock-up.

Ray♥ X X X

[TheSallySeagull]

Gosh, that looked so cool.

[Jackbite69]

Dusty Springfield-!0 SugerBabes-3...

[alicetheactress]

Well that was slightly disturbing.....

Shugababes sounded bad here....not as good as Dusty whatever....

I think it was better when sung by Dusty at the NME winner concert

[ccl2006]

Woah. Never heard of these girls. PLEASE they cannot even compare to Banarama......Lord.....guess talent doesn' matter anymore. PEE Weee!

[CrankCase08]

They've taken her from the 1965 NME Poll Winners concert (onYouTube) and erased the background. They might as well have erased The Sugababes too, considering they were so flat here. shows what rubbish they actually are. Standards have indeed fallen with these modern quick-fame studio-based groups who spend most of their concert time singing along with their records.

[sylvialess]

You got the words rite out of my mouth! In this country everyone is a celebrity! Bak in the day, ppl work to earn that title .Today its all about walking across the stage,drop their tits and drop their panties..next thing u know they're famous!! PATHETIC!

[CrankCase08]

The reason this dumbass Sugababes group have had more success than others girlbands is that record sales have shrunk so much that it's easier to get to number one than it's ever been.

[litacool]

if they were that good in sales why are they still working hard to become big and their sales falling. so before you start saying that the sugababes are worthless and have had fame at a silver platter please do some research before commenting you prob know nothing about them may be jealous. i dont mind if you hate them but its obvious that these girls can sing just look at their ballads and see

[CrankCase08]

litacool, you need to understand the record market. Sales of singles has massively shrunk since the 60's, Consequently it is far easier to achieve a no. 1 that it was then. I don't know why you people keep thinking criticism is due to jealousy, but I guess thats due to a lack of intellect. I was compa\ring them to the likes of singers like Dusty Springfield, where this scene shows that the Sugababes are crap when compared to her. Maybe they can sing, but the do it badly.

[sonjaemery]

You're the dumbass here! How can 7million in sales be shrunk!! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LO LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!! I have seen SB live and they were awsome. Known as one of the best live acts in the UK. You can't judge them on this performance alone

[suckermc]

Spice Girls were the most successful girlband of the 80s. but they also suck. success is not a measurement of talent.

[CrankCase08]

Sugababes sing live with prerecordings that are enhanced in a studio, rather like that other useless lard, Britney Spears, who completely mimes live.

[sonjaemery]

Absolutley untrue! You are obviously going through all the comments (as mine was from months ago) and want to HATE and make comments like that. Who cares about the spears

[Spetznaz]

Nice *****!!

[2katie]

This type of duet was played in a USA Idol programme with Celine Dion and Elvis. Anyone who hasn't seen it should, it's spooky, but great.

Dusty is so great.

[horsehungo9]

its a hit show in england that allows people and groups to duet with anyone past or present. Its all digital. they do a great job and no that is no drag queen. Its the real deal.

[standdownpunk]

this is good, but very disturbing somehow.

[Ianpbx]

The Sugababes sound completely less-than-average in comparison to her. Shows how the big acts are mediocre puppets in comparison.

[leaningoak]

It's original footage of Dusty superimposed on new stuff; that's why it had to be in monochrome.

[MasterMark123]

Am I missing something? What year was this taped? I am a bit confused here .. Was that really Dusty on stage with these girls or a look alike doing drag? She looked too young to be there ....

[freakydoris1]

Dusty is dead and have been since 2 mars 1999..

[NoMoSpam]

that prolly some dude, the draggies like doing the switch hitters. They can look like dusty but never can they sound like Dusty.

RIP Dusty!

[dmbmcr19]

This was about 2007. She is dead and most of the acts on the show were digitally imposed on the stage next to the current acts.

[MasterMark123]

OOOHHhhhhhh  that makes sense then . Thanks

[PlatinumBlonde87]

Sugababes looks like a background singers with Dusty On the Stage!! Dusty is the greatest!!

[oranger2525]

ain't that the truth.

[beachborrel]

verbazend

[napsspur]

they (sugababes) sound so shit in comparison to dusty.

[emopunkgirl505]

the guy hosting the show is HOT.

[leopoldhoob]

Dusty is a legend.sugababes are a group of.lets remove one and put another in no talents.don't understand ??

[Kuanyin123456]

well Dusty was always my baby - still is - I loved that woman!

[leopoldhoob]

Why the f did Dusty do this ????????????.she is worth so much more than prancing with Heidi Range

[cls14]

Why did Dusty do what?

[carlsperr]

I wish they had picked a different song like You Don't Have To Say You Love Me I think they would have done a much better job on a slower song.

[cathal100]

They should be renamed the sugarshite lol

[judithshappy]

This is frikin'weird!

[kidderguy]

Tut Tut, she formed The Springfields with her brother Tom..not brothers

[cazziekins]

Yep and his pal Tim wasn't it?

[stitsevol]

One good singer and three pretenders, amazing what commercial manipulation can acheive today. I was going to say what a shame they dragged her into this but it shows the difference between singing and just getting away with it.

[yunalesca15]

Amelle , is the best suited for this kind of music , love her voice

[gedwa822]

How embarrassing. Dusty Springfield had real soul. This lot need to concentrate on the drivel thay are so good at. More top 10 hits than the Spice Girls. Says it all really.

[cassyblanka]

what a pile of steaming dog shit!!!

[pauline5248]

Very clever how the trick filming makes the late Dusty actually look present with the Sugababes. But at the same time slighty creepy to see someone you know is now deceased up there on stage.

[garyifny]

I will say this for the new Sugababe--she can outbelt the other two, and they know it!

[carfreak2795]

Is that really Dusty Springfield?

[60moo]

Yes, she came back from the dead for this one performance, to show the younger generation just what it took in order to be labeled a true Artist. In 100, 200, 500 years from now, mention the name "Dusty" and everyone will know who you're referring to. But mention - what were they? Spice Girls, Bananarama, Sugababes - and you'd probably be referring to the name of the local brothel.

[fjoerdra]

i don't think it's fair to compare the sugababes and dusty. even though dusty is by far the best female singer ever, i can't deny that, i do think the sugababes are the best girl band ever. they've had the most succes, more than girls aloud or the spice girls. by the way, i'm pretty sure that even now if you mention dusty, they're thinking of dust, or duffy, the wannabe-dusty. such a shame. still; no one lives forever. ;)

[60moo]

fjoerdra - I agree with you 100%. When posting my comment, I was really thinking about how future generations will view late 20th/early 21st century pop music. If the past few hundred years are anything to go by, there's hardly anything being laid down by the 'current' crop which, from a musical quality standard, will stand the test of time. Sadly, that means my, your and future generations are being short-changed. Hence my exasperation.

[cazziekins]

BTW Dusty could've sung ANYTHING including Push the Button or anything else she chose she was AMAZING and much missed...

[flauky]

i have a question. is there another girl in the group? because the girl in the middle doesn´t look like the asian girl i remember?

[cazziekins]

Yep Amelle relaced Mutya over a year ago!

[philprice2007]

i like cheap and tacky, but not that sort of cheap and tacky.thats kind of like cheap and tacky unintentionally.

[hubbellgardner]

Yup nothin more. Sums it up

[bummerbear]

i love them britssss

(asian guy)

[Legoheads]

Not sure what everyone has such a downer on the Sugababes. Why are people even trying to make comparisons...? It was a bit of fun Saturday night entertainment nothing more. The Sugababes do what they do and are very successful at it. Why start dissing them..!!?

[sparklytapshoes]

I like the sugarbabes but no offence there just no match for Dusty she is soul music!! RIP

[cheekybear1962]

The BEST female artist EVER. Dusty, I miss you SO MUCH.

There is nobody to match yoursuper silky smooth voice...

We love you! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[goliath8484]

How did they do that? That's some pretty sweet editing. Badass!

[ceck22120185]

would just like to point out that dusty springfield like the sugarbabes was a british artist and therefore part of the "crap" european music that you are slagging off.

[Scout987a]

I think that you may be mistaken in thinking that someone like me hates the Sugarbabes because they are European. That is not true at all! I don't like them because, well, they suck. It has NOTHING to do with where they are from. Also, I love many, many British artists, including Dusty Springfield (she was outstanding), Alison Moyet, Kirsty Maccoll, Elton, the Beatles, Robbie Williams.

[AcademyAwardsGirl]

Wonderful.

[LunaSeaSane]

I was wating for a wash but turns out iss' a good idea.

[Melancholio74]

cool

[rasputin63]

The blonde girl at left reminds this Yank of a young Leslie Van Houten.

You Brits, tell me: What is the accent this male MC has? I'm thinking it's a Yorkshire accent? (Just curious... I like to train me ear.)

[KookieTwisterella]

He's from Bolton in Lancashire

[burnhardo]

nice trick, a bit fast. but how can an average singer be so stupid to get into a direct comparison to a godess?

[papillon767]

theyre just nervous, they are actually good singers with some great pop tunes to their credit-round round etc, i like them

[rasputin63]

Hmmm... this is a clever concept. Wish they didn't take the tempo on this tune so fast.

[lycrags]

it's awesome to see Dusty backed by the 3 Sugababes, im sure if Dusty could ever have seen this she would have loved it, but yes it is a bit too fast

[kidderguy]

It would be hard for Dusty to sing Push the Button, she has been dead for 8 years. What a stupid bloody comment. Dusty is an icon, no doubt in that.

[franziiii]

yeah DUSTY blows them away easily !!!!!

ALWAYS!!!!

[Stamp987a]

I'm American and I don't think that the Sugarbabes have been popular here....and I can see why. They are awful! Sorry, fans, but Dusty BLOWS them away! Gosh, these Sugarbabes make the Spice Girls seem talented in comparison.

[Melancholio74]

many talented people are not popular in the states but that doesnt say anything. look at all the crap you have in your country: 50 cent, eminem, snoop etc. LOL... yes very talented people there...its just about rap and r&b over there...LOL... european music is so much better!

[Scout987a]

If the Sugarbabes are indicative of the "european music" that you claim is so much better, I think that you must have a hearing problem or something! C'mon! They SUCK! This is an insult to the memory of the GREAT Dusty Springfield to even have them sing along with her. Ack!!!

[missdarcy92]

dude, don't flame the states! the US isn't all about rap and R&B. we've produced artists of all genres, and a lot of them were quite successful. you obviously haven't heard all of the music in the US if you think rap and R&B is the main thing.

[freeek04]

well it's all that gets played on the radio other than lame AC pap. Sugababes are NOT great live, but they have AMAZING well-written pop records. ESPECIALLY their earlier stuff. I know the US has a LOT of great music, but barely any of it gets heard by the masses.

[SGBARNARD]

A blast

[gertdegoede]

I like this very much!

[assobiter]

what is this is this some kind of joke

sugarbabes are rubbish and they dont even have mutya any more.

martha reeves does it much much much much better than any of them ever will

and dusty springfield is just amazing any way but i think i prefer the performances when she is acctually alive and singing.(i do know that shes dead)

[fjoerdra]

oh god. you're all like saying the sugababes can't sing. personally I do think dusty is indeed as you all say perfect and a great singer, but the sugababes ain't bad either. they truly are good, imagine the level of dusty competing them and winning, how good is she then. ;)

[Mowac]

Hell....Dusty was around when this song was written. "The Sugarbabes" girls weren't even born yet.

[claudia1201]

All haters of the 'Babes? It's just this genre...try Dusty singing "Push the Button"...

[Vicky1274]

Respect to the Sugababes, but Dusty just blows you away every time, there is just no comparison!

[snuffythewomble]

I love the sugarbabes,but Dusty left them standing...sorry girls

[txupamela1]

Great Great GreAT

[markywatson1970]

commercial crap.....nobody beats the original dusty....

[GoldCoffee]

Omg, this show was brilliant .. its phenominal how they did this, it looks so realistic.

And i personally think that the girls sound great with Dusty

[channahbatchayimlabe]

yep, Dusty was so much better than Sugababes ever will be. Probably the reason why most of us haven't even known about this performance.

[GoldCoffee]

This wasnt a performance, it was a tv programme.

[CelticMermaid]

wow! amazing!! A little bit eerie even....

[xLoriAnnex]

wow this amazin! xxx

[formerrocker]

Pretty neat. Dusty blows the other girls away in every way.

[bakhtn]

i never saw this

[jonwp]

Amazing, theirs never gonna be anyone that can better Dusty

[Duuuusty]

Well, I've gotta say that your opinion sucks more balls than these so called 'singers'.

No one matches to Dusty Springfield.

[v4MoD]

"funny its Dusty considering sugababes producer named ex-sugababes Myuta "the greatest voice to come out of the UK since dusty springfeild""

is that true? who said that?? i gotta say, this is by far one of the best performances ever... listen to the power of amelles and keishas voice... they match up to dusty springfield, no question...

[CrankCase08]

You must be tone deaf

[Schwartzwolf]

I never knew such a thing existed. Very interesting, if not a bit surreal.

[wellohmeeeeeee]

Good Grief !!

[THEmotownboy]

I love the concept!!!

[thehotr0ck]

funny its Dusty considering sugababes producer named ex-sugababes Myuta "the greatest voice to come out of the UK since dusty springfeild"
