It’s kinda like being in the NBA and being in two or three years and getting to play in the all-star game with the best people in the league.

No one seems more astonished by news that Mis-Teeq’s Scandalous was a hit in America than vocalist Sabrina Washington.

“We were told the song was being played on the radio and we were like, yeah, right,” she tells Alexis Petridis of the Guardian.

“It was only when I got to New York and heard the song being played in a shop that I realized it really was. It’s pretty amazing.”After four weeks promoting the single across the country, she thinks she has worked out the secret of Mis-teeq’s sudden success. “They love the English accent,” she said.

“They’re kind of amazed when we sing. We don’t sound American.”

“Our sound is very, very British. We’re not going to go out to America and try and imitate what Americans do, because they do it the best.”

Sue Elise added “Originality is definitely the key. We want to keep sounding as British as we can.”

Mis-Teeq will be coming back to the UK to work on new songs for an upcoming new album which will be out by November, according to the Eye Candy girls.

Yes, from the angle of our photos, it is clear that Darius was 100% authentic in his look although somewhat abridged in his nether regions.”

Meanwhile, fans of Darius Danesh, do keep a lookout for his new material, set to come out later this year. Also, word has it that he is dating Kim Basinger. No one’s confirming anything at the moment.
