The Cockroaches of Pop

The Cockroaches of Pop
Less-than-flattering nickname for The Sugababes – a British girl band which has prevailed despite numerous line-up changes.

Commenting in The Sun on the departure of the last original member of The Sugababes, Sean Hamilton observed:

The Sugababes are the cockroaches of pop – they could survive a nuclear war.
Singers come and go but the band lives on. It almost doesn’t seem to matter who the members are any more. A bit of styling and a slick video and they’re all the same.
