However, following their appearances on Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll, Chelsea Korka, Mariela Arteaga, Brittany Diiorio, Sisely Treasure as seen on rehearsals videos.^[7][10] The group was then first revealed by Korka and Antin at CW Upfronts 2008.

2009–2010: Debut, departure from label and disbandment

After two years of production, the group finally released its first official single, "Patron Tequila" featuring Eve and Lil' Jon on iTunes on April 14, 2009. The song was intended as the lead single from their to-be debut album entitled Crazy Horse. As promotion, the group was featured on various songs by Space Cowboy^[11] and made appearances in numerous events^[7] including the Party Rock Tour, which featured many new artist from their label,^[12] TV shows,^{[13][14][15][16]} blogs^[17][18][19] and magazines^{[20][21][22][23] [24][25][26]} They have also modeled for Beats By Dre.^[27][28] In 2010, their second single called "Who's My Bitch" was released digitally on June 22, 2010 with a music video, shot from April 7–8, 2010 which had appeared on YouTube and MySpace on June 5, 2010. Unlike the previous single, it performed poorly on the charts and the group did no promotions for the song.

Following the poor performance of the second single, numerous rumors of disbandment began to circulate the internet after some members began to remove the word “Paradiso” from their Twitter names, although member Shar Mae Amor stated in an interview on UStream that the group was preparing for a third single while Lauren Bennett stated that the album is already finished and that the group is just waiting for their record label to set a release date.^[29] However, Interscope Records did not release an official statement explaining the status of the group.

The fate of the group was then put to question when a brief disagreement broke out between band members Aria Crescendo and Chelsea Korka on Twitter, after Korka tweeted that the group was still together but each band member will be pursuing their own projects for the time being. A frustrated Crescendo then replied to her tweet by saying "why are you confusing the fans ????????? u know the troth Chealsea so stop pretending .......be truthful to ur hart for once".^[30]

On October 27, 2010, band member Aria Crescendo made an unofficial confirmation that the group was dropped by Interscope Records through an online interview hosted by popChamber via Vimeo. In the interview, she expressed her disappointment for the lack of promotions given to the group in return for the efforts put in by each of the band members for the last two years. She has also confirmed that their highly anticipated debut album will no longer be released. It was revealed that they had apparently recorded over 50 songs for this album including a song called "Bad Man" featuring Will.i.am.^[31]
