Paradiso Girls were a girl group created by Robin Antin, and were a European spin-off of Antin's other girl group The Pussycat Dolls. The members come from a number of countries: Chelsea Korka from the United States, Aria Crescendo from France, Lauren Bennett and Kelly Beckett from the United Kingdom and Shar Mae Amor from the Philippines. They were signed to Interscope Records. Their debut single "Patron Tequila" featuring Lil Jon and Eve was released on May 12, 2009 and reached position 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play. The band broke up in 2010, after they cancelled their debut album.
Jimmy Iovine, owner of Interscope Records, decided to create a new girl group after meeting French singer and former Star Academy yoga teacher Aria Crescendo. Together with Robin Antin, Martin Kierszenbaum and will.i.am, he auditioned over 500 girls in London, some of which had been noticed during The X Factor UK auditions, casting six of them including singer Lauren Bennett, singer/dancer Kelly Beckett, as well as rapper/singer, Shar Mae Amor. Each girl represented a different country and the group had no lead singer, unlike The Pussycat Dolls. The group, cut down to a quartet was then featured in a remix of "I Got It from My Mama" by will.i.am.
