[edit] History

[edit] 2007-2008: The Casting Call

After meeting French singer, former Star Academy contestant and yoga teacher Aria Cascaval, Jimmy Iovine, owner of Interscope Records, decided to create a new girl group.Together with Robin Antin, Martin Kierszenbaum and will.i.am,[3] they auditioned over 500 girls in London, casting former X-Factor contestants Lauren Bennett,[4] rapper, Shar Mae Amor.[5] as well as DJ Kelly Beckett.[6][7] Each girl represents a country and the group has no lead singer, unlike the Pussycat Dolls.[8] Now a quartet, the group was then featured in a remix of "I Got It from My Mama" by will.i.am with Aria having a singing part.

[edit] 2008-2009: Korka's Issues and Debut Album Production

The group's original lineup was a quartet, until eight months later, Chelsea Korka "crashed" a rehearsal and was found to fit with the group, which she eventually joined.[6] However a montage of rehearsals featuring the five members of the group as well as Next Doll Sisely Treasure, Mariela Arteaga and Brittany Diiorio, who had all left even before the lineup was finalized, was uploaded on Youtube around the same time.[9] The group was then first revealed by Korka and Antin at CW Upfronts 2007.[10]

In 2008, the group, which was now a quintet, recorded a song entitled "W.O.W." which was used in a Coca Cola commercial.[11] The song was released via Itunes and also featured a rock remix of the song.

By September 2008, Chelsea Korka had released messages from her myspace account saying that her position in the group was jeopardized due to contractual issues between her and Interscope. Although Korka had already started recording with the Paradiso Girls on studios in Los Angeles and Australia, she further announced of her plans of releasing her solo album in the future. This was followed by the release of her two songs on her myspace site: "Give Me A Sign" and "Better Than"(even though the songs were recorded when she was 15 years old) [12]. This led to greater doubt as to whether she will continue with the group or leave.

Finally on October 2008 Korka had confirmed per her myspace page that she had resolved her contractual issues with the Paradiso Girls and would remain with them. She further stated that her focus was with the Paradiso Girls and plans for a solo move were not considered at the moment. Following this, the group resumed production for their upcoming debut album.

[edit] 2009-present: Crazy Horse, Collaborations and TV Show

After two years of production, the group finally managed to release their first official single, "Patron Tequila" featuring Eve and Lil' Jon on iTunes on April 14, 2009. The song was released as the lead single form their long-anticipated debut album entitled Crazy Horse. The album includes production from Cee-Lo Green, Tricky Stewart, The-Dream, Sean Garrett, Fernando Garibay,but heyy Stereotypes and Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am and is set to be released in early 2010.

Collaborations include Space Cowboy's song "Falling Down", where Chelsea is featured vocally while the group appeared on the video,[13] as well as in a remix of his song "I Came 2 Party" with Cinema Bizarre and Far East Movement[14]. Aria will feature in a remix of Shwayze's single "Get U Home".[15]

They have been taking part in numerous events in mid-2009 to promote their upcoming album, Crazy Horse, performing "Who's My Bitch" (a cover of "Habanera" from Carmen) and "Unpredictable".[6][16][17] They have also taken part in the NowNewNext concert series live at the Six Flags.[18] and are touring along with LMFAO, Shwayze, Far East Movement and Space Cowboy on the Party Rock Tour.[19] During the tour, Chelsea and Lauren were featured in a performance by Matt Goss at the Gossy Room in Las Vegas[20].

The second single has been confirmed by member Aria to be "That's Just What I Like" featuring Will.I.Am. The third single has also been confirmed to be "Boy's Go Crazy". Both will be released after their promotion in Europe. In the December issue of Maxim where the group was featured, the girls finally confirmed that their Crazy Horse album will be released in early 2010.

After the Party Rock Tour which ends December 20, the Paradiso Girls are set to begin filming a television show in January that is slated for a March 2010 airing. The show will be a reality series which follows the girls as they travel the world promoting Crazy Horse.
