nothing is sacred!

Rapper TIMBALAND has vowed to give British pop band SUGABABES a musical makeover after he was introduced to the group while working with MADONNA and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.

The Apologize hitmaker met the girlband when he was producing Madonna's latest single with Timberlake at a London recording studio and got chatting to the singers during meal breaks. Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah is delighted to have been approached by the 37-year-old, but was disappointed not to have bumped into the Like A Virgin hitmaker. She says, "Timberland (is) keen on us. He actually asked us to do stuff with him before. We ended up spending a lot of time with him and Justin last year.

We'd have lunch and dinner together in between recordings. "They were great company - very funny. We couldn't get any Madonna goss out of them, though. "They were secretive about her new music. I knew she was with them but I never saw her."

Thanks: Emelle

well he should work with somebody to give him DESERVED fame

Just as long as he stays away from GIRLS ALOUD, its ok, he has no clue on "producing" hes a beat layer, big difference, but he his not good at bringing out something amazing from artists and make them different from one another.

I don't know who the Sugarbabes are but it's interesting that everybody wants to work with Timbaland these days.Any day now,we'll probably hear about him producing the next Metallica album,lol.

They're a picture perfect trio of lasses that started off with an interesting sound and an interesting look, only to successfully manage becoming the top pop drivel superstargirl band du jour in the EU. This of course after the pre-requisite two line-up changes, dumbing down their music, and cheapening their look as much as possible.

wikipedia says he is working with stevie wonder , but it doenst have a source . as long as he stays away from stevie !!! he could teach timbo a trick or 2 about how to make music

motownlover said:

Stevie too?? Damn.

SoulAlive said:

wikipedia is not the most reliable source , but it was on it without a direct link
. but i dont think its gonna be an album . perhaps on a timbaland album, because stevie was doing a gospel album for 2008 ( by my knowledge)

I heard that Timbaland is already working on his next album.He's gonna have alot of big-name artists on it,including Madonna.So yeah,I wouldn't be surprised if he got Stevie to appear on it,too.Tim's last album featured a song with Elton John! It seems that nobody turns him down,lol.

SoulAlive said:

already? Shock Value didn't come out too long ago, and I thought he put out an album every few years.

alphastreet said:

Yeah,I wonder how he finds the time to do all these projects

SoulAlive said:

thats not always good for making hit albums either..over working can lead to pish pash projects

SoulAlive said:

I know, right? I ain't knocking his skills, but really now...

Timbaland and Stevie is a no go. The Sugababes are nothing sacred they will be glad to work with him and have a new hit.

You got that right. Certain things shouldn't be attempted.No need to tamper with perfection.

graecophilos said:

Of course, with pop oriented artists, he has a proven track record in that arena.

and Chris Cornell is going to work with him too, apparently.

how i wish this talentless loser and thief would just go away

Stevie has always produced himself.Can't see why he's now working with a producer.I wonder if Motown is putting pressure on him?
