SUGABABES - SUGABABES BOYCOTT 'MIMING' SPICE GIRLS

British girl group SUGABABES have shunned the chance to watch the SPICE GIRLS live in London - because they can't tolerate watching mimed performances. The newly reformed five-piece kick off 17 live dates at the capital's O2 Arena on Saturday (15Dec07), but Sugababes singer Amelle Berrabah has slammed the band for lip-syncing. She says, "I was really excited about the Spice Girls reunion. "Me and the girls (bandmates Heidi Range and Keisha Buchanan) were going to get some tickets but I've decided not to go now because I've heard about them miming."
