Nash has stayed out of the public eye since the split and Washington appeared on ''I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!'' and has been pursuing a solo career, whilst Dixon has had the most success, having been a TV presenter on ''Series/StrictlyComeDancing'' and ''Series/BritainGotTalent'', as well as the 2023 Series/EurovisionSongContest in Liverpool.

Su-Elise has stayed out of the public eye since the split, Sabrina appeared on ''I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!'' and has been pursuing a solo career. Alesha has had the most success - as a TV presenter on ''Series/StrictlyComeDancing'' and ''Britain's Got Talent''.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: They were often thought to be the British version of Music/DestinysChild - as a female R&B trio who were all black, had a DarkSkinnedBlonde as a lead singer (Beyonce, Sabrina), one member who was something of a LesserStar (Michelle, Su-Elise) and some videos that were remarkably similar ("Bootylicious", "One Night Stand").

* DarkSkinnedBlonde:
** Sabrina donned blonde hair in the videos for "One Night Stand", "B With Me" and "Roll On".
** Alesha also has had blonde hair in some of her solo music work.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Sabrina wears a dress like this in the "Scandalous" video. Alesha achieves the same effect with an unzipped hoodie in the video for "Roll On".

* MaleGaze: The American video for "One Night Stand" is pretty blatant with this.

* BikerBabe: The album art for ''Lickin' On Both Sides'' features the girls this way.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: They all do in the Los Angeles-set video for "Roll On".

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Alesha has a line in "Can't Get It Back" where she addresses the cheater, saying "keep your zip closed".

* XtremeKoolLetterz: "B With Me" features this.
* YourCheatingHeart: The video for "Can't Get It Back" depicts Sabrina's {{Casanova}} of husband having an affair with Su-Elise, while Alesha is the detective hired to catch him in the act.

Their debut album ''Lickin' On Both Sides'' was certified platinum, and the girls gained some chart success in Australia, New Zealand and Denmark. Their second ''Eye Candy'' did not match the same sales (only reaching gold) but it did contain their highest charting single - "Scandalous" - which was their only song to chart in the US. It was also used in the film ''{{Film/Catwoman}}''. Unfortunately for them, Telstar went bankrupt in 2005 and they announced a split.

* PrecisionFStrike: Given their family-friendly stance, saying "nice a**" in "One Night Stand" counts.

The group was first formed by Sabrina and Alesha, named ''Face 2 Face''. They were joined by Tina Barrett for a while, but she left too and became a member of Simon Fuller's music project Music/SClub7. Two members Zena and Sue-Elise replaced her, they changed their name to Mis-Teeq and were signed by Telstar Records. Their debut single "Why?" was a mid-tempo R&B track and later became a hit when it was remixed by UK garage DJ Jam Lamount. Zena left shortly after this, and the group continued as a trio.

''Mis-Teeq'' were a four-piece British R&B GirlGroup active from 1999-2005. Members included Sabrina Washington, Alesha Dixon and Su-Elise Nash. The original lineup included Zena [=McNally=] - who left after the first single to attempt a solo career.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The video for "One Night Stand" has Sabrina with blonde hair, Su-Elise with dyed red highlights and Alesha keeping her hair dark.

** The other way around in the American video for "One Night Stand", where Sabrina is in black and the other two are in red.

* PrecisionFStrike: Given their family friendly stance, saying "nice ass" in "One Night Stand" counts.

* AmazingTechnicolorWorld: The video for "One Night Stand" was known for its dazzling colors.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The video for "One Night Stand" has Sabrina with blonde hair, Su-Elise with red highlights and Alesha keeping her hair dark.

** Sabrina sported blonde hair in the videos for "One Night Stand", "B With Me" and "Roll On".
** Alesha has had blonde hair in some of her solo work.

* HotterAndSexier: An alternate version of the "One Night Stand" video was released for the US - featuring the girls dancing on a catwalk, intercut with very {{Fanservice}}y shots of their bodies.

** The video for "Roll On" features a dance where Sabrina is brown haired and dressed in pink (Light Feminine) while the other two are dark-haired and dressed in black.

* LighterAndSofter: The first release of "Why?" was a slow, sad ballad and the video had dark lighting, and the girls in black clothes. The garage remix was more upbeat, the video was colorful and took place in broad daylight.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Alesha certainly does not look like she's nearly forty.

* TheThreeFacesOfEve: With the line-up of three it went: Child (Sue-Elise), Wife (Sabrina) and Seductress (Alesha). Funnily enough the video for "Can't Get It Back" features Sabrina in the role of the Wife, but Sue-Elise plays the other woman and Alesha the detective.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: They all do in the LA-set video for "Roll On".

* XtremeKoolLetterz: It's "B With Me", not "Be With Me".

* BreakUpSong: "Can't Get It Back" is about a relationship that's hit the rocks, due to the other partner being inattentive.

* IntercourseWithYou: "One Night Stand" of course.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Sabrina sported blonde hair in the videos for "One Night Stand", "B With Me" and "Roll On".

* LesserStar: Su-Elise rarely got more than back-up lines or hooks and always seemed to be overshadowed by the other two. She had the least amount of public spotlight after the split.

* TheThreeFacesOfEve: With the line-up of three it went: Child (Sue-Elise), Wife (Sabrina) and Seductress (Aleisha). Funnily enough the video for "Can't Get It Back" features Sabrina in the role of the Wife, but Sue-Elise plays the other woman and Aleisha the detective.

** A few singles would feature Aleisha going into a spontaneous rap verse.
** "Roll On" segues into Montell Jordan doing a cover of "This Is How We Do It". They were released as a double-A side together.
