Anyone else love this? I think it's a great 2nd single and it might be better than Left my Heart In Tokyo. I liked the preview I heard a few weeks ago but love it even more after hearing the full version.

Here's the full version

I love this song, its my favourite from them so far, I can't wait to hear the album. Left My Heart In Tokyo and Bedroom Viber are amazing too.

It's a great song! I absolutely love it. With The Saturdays flopping and the Sugababes floundering, it looks like Mini Viva will be the only worthy challengers to GA once they come back from their break.

Would you say the Saturdays are flopping? Their first album went to number 9 as well after how many weeks on the chart? Wait til Ego comes out.

Left my heart in tokyo should have been a #1 single
Xfactor = #1 (Cheryl Cole)

Well...their second album went in at number nine...before falling to number 40 the following week. And you know what they say: you're only as good as your last record!

i love this song! reminds me a lot of some of Girls Aloud's songs, like Call The Shots and The Loving Kind. a wonderful sweeping pop record.

anyone know when their album is out? the first 2 singles have sold me completely so i'm definitely buying it.

It should remind you of Girls Aloud, its by the same team. They probably knew GA were taking a break/ splitting up and formed their own group whom would sing their songs.

Its really GA -3, really.

Really? I think you'll find it was 31.

They were on Radio 1 tonight (can't remember who with) and they were all but disowning 'Forever Is Over' as "not the style of the rest of the record". Even if that's true, it came across pretty desperate.

I love 'I wish' it is one of my favourite songs of the year. It's available to buy on Monday and I hope it does well despite X Factor taking top chart places.

I don't understand why they are releasing 'I wish' just now though it seems a bad time of year for a new act to release a track.

It should have deffinatly charted higher than 7 but it is not down to the x factor atall, im not sure if this is embarrasing for you but when Mini Viva charted at 7 The X Factor Live Shows had not started nor were Cheryl, JLS or Alexandra in the top 10.

The top 10 that week were:
1, Pixie Lott - Boys And Girls
2, David Guetta - Sexy Chick
3, Jay Z - Run This Town
4, Mika - We Are Golden
5, Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling
6, Dizzee Rascal - Holiday
7, Mini Viva - Left My Heart In Tokyo
8, Sugababes - Get Sexy
9, Muse - Uprising
10, Little Boots - Remedy

I was shocked that this didn't even dent the Top 40. What is it with Fascination at the moment? First the Saturdays' album bombs and now this...

This is a GREAT song also, especially after hearing Left my heart tokyo
First time I heard 1 wish, I thought it was a Girl Aloud Song

Not really. I think it's probably too pure pop for the current charts and possibly a bit too wistful sounding with quite downbeat lyrics.

And I wish that I had tried
Mmm baby I now wished that ‘us’ away
Oh no, if I wish that hard enough would love come home, home again

And I wish that I had tried
Mmm baby I now wished that ‘us’ away
Oh no, if I wish that hard enough
Would love come home, home again

And I go oh no
He could be the one who hits the light inside my soul
Oh baby, This could be the last of my control

I was watching you, leaving
Didn’t know that love cut so deep
How was I to know baby,
All the tears I cry for you




The lyrics would have been fine for a ballad for not for an uptempoish tune.

It reminds me a bit of the tune the Pet Shop Boys wrote for GA, 'The Loving Kind'. By GA standards that didn't too that well only just scraping into the Top 10.

I think this remix would have done better:

Much more danceable.
