Stupid Mis-Teeq 

The fairy tale is over, the romance is dead, and a nation, already struggling to cope with the news of the Busted split, is forced one again to deal with its own mortality and the realisation that nothing, no matter how perfect, can last forever. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the news is true. Mis-Teeq have split up. No, wait, come back!

To be honest, other than Scandalous, we never really got into them - you could say that we failed to penetrate their Mis-Teeq, Arf! - but they always seemed to have a certain potential about them, as if on the verge of releasing some earth-shatteringly fantastic song that would have the whole world realising it's genius, but they never quite seemed to get there and now, alas, never will.

Reasons for the split are somewhat vague with the entirely uninformative "They want to pursue solo careers" line being trundled out by their spokesperson. We reckon thath that's probably partly true in the sense that one of them wanted to, and we'd be very surprised if it didn't involve Pharrell Williams, from out of The Neptunes, organising some sort of solo deal for Alesha, her ass, after all, being a spaceship that he wants to ride. She does, of course, have a boyfriend so we can't say for certain whether Pharrell managed to act upon his base desires and penetrate his Mis-Te... Oh, never mind.
