3 Wishes
3 Wishes were a girl group made up of three high school friends, who released one album and four singles in 2004.
Treasure Chest: The debut album[edit | edit source]
They branded their music as "upbeat pop songs with a dance influence", and took the name 3 Wishes because they felt that their music could give 3 wishes to anyone who listened to it. After having appeared at their school's talent shows, they decided to take their demos to record label executives. They were signed to Clique Management, who released their first two singles.
The first single, "Is There Some Other Way", was filmed in their school, with their friends acting as extras; the single ended up charting at #21. The girls prepared a follow-up single, written by Amaia from the Spanish pop group Luna Pop, entitled "World Wide Party". The video took them on vacation to a cabin, and they imagined themselves travelling the world. The single did improve on their previous single's position, reaching #17.
For the third single "Take Me Down", the girls used their cheerleading experience to get better choreography, combined with special effects in the video. The song that almost was given away, was decided "too good to waste" and used as the girls' third single. This was the best move they could've done, as the single was a surprise #6 hit!
This was the perfect opportunity to release their debut album, which they entitled "Treasure Chest". It included mostly pop songs with dance influences, as well as a couple ballads. The album charted at #10, and ended up going silver. The fourth single from the album was being planned as "Try To Forgive Me", which was a duet with the Elementary School Dropouts. However, due to the Dropouts being eaten by Fat Lady, 3 Wishes had to go about it on their own. They did not promote this single much, but did manage to record a touching video where all 3 girls ended up fighting, and trying to resolve their differences, then being disturbed by Carla's suicide in the end. Despite a lack of promotion, the single still made it into the top 20, but it would turn out to be their last single.
Uravision[edit | edit source]
Realizing how boring college was without each other, 3 Wishes decided to reunite for 2006's Uravision contest. Surely enough, they realized they had not lost their special touch, and wrote a song called "Where Has The Time Gone"? They mainly went ignored during the Uravision song contest, and did not make it past the first round. They went their separate ways again, but only time will tell if these three young ladies will reunite again.
