Jade Ewen: 'I don't want to disappoint'

Jade Ewen has admitted that she is under pressure to do well in the Sugababes.

Ewen, who replaced original Sugababe Keisha Buchanan in September, told The Sun that she wants to live up to people's expectations.

"The band have been around a long time," she said. "Keisha is a phenomenal singer. I don't want to come in to this like I've just swanned in at the last minute and not take it seriously. I've got a big task on my hands and I don't want to disappoint."

However, Ewen added that she isn't worried about the prospect of a chart battle between the old and new Sugababes lineups.

"I don't think it's a bad thing," she explained. "Like with Blur, Oasis, there's always competition anyway, so whether it's them or somebody else, it's going to happen.

"I think as long as you deliver... and focus on your music. Then it speaks for itself."
