Sub-Destiny's Child?!

"I don't know where the sub-DC comment came from - as far as I can tell the only similarities is both bands feature three girls. Even if you choose to force a comparison, I think Sugababes win hands down. DC make slick pop songs, that don't touch the sophistication these then-16 year-olds muster. Anyone who knows anything about the voice can see the harmonies featured in the songs are far from usual, and often very beautiful.The songwriting (mostly Siobhans, I think) is way beyond what teenagers should be able to achieve, and certainly beyond most other current pop.Overload is in no way deceptive of the standard of the album - like on that single, the album is full of inovative beats and amazing vocals. Shame about the American cover-art, because it certainly doesn't match the utter classiness within.Wake up and smell the talent, America!"
