In the endless stream of "music" (a term used very loosely here) released by Real Housewives, it's LuAnn de Lesseps of The Real Housewives of New York back in the spotlight with the most recent contribution. A new video for her song "Chic, C'est La Vie" has been released featuring Kelly Bensimon and Jill Zarin. While it's ridiculous and annoying, it's actually not that bad ... at least as far as Housewives tunes go.
In fact, I would say in the scheme of those that make me want to electrically drill screws into my ears to stop the noise, this one would fall at the bottom of the heap. Maybe it's the French, or perhaps because it's just such an in-your-face ha ha to the peasants of the world (so her), but I find it somewhat amusing.
The Countess sings: "Gold, diamonds, caviar. Life is but a dream when every day you're living in is featured on TV." Kelly and Jill playing (badly) along in Atlantic City just adds to the whole thing.
The personal shout-outs to the other housewives are a nice touch:
Attention Jill, bring your jewelry. Cindy, bring those crystals. Ramona, bring that Pinot. Sonja, her man. Kelly, the jelly beans. Alex, bring Simon, and I'll bring the diamonds.
I wouldn't go so far as to say LuAnn is a GOOD singer, but it's not that painful compared to the likes of someone like Kim Zolciak (Real Housewives of Atlanta) coughing out "Tardy for the Party" or Michaele Salahi (Real Housewives of D.C.) screeching her latest, "Bump It," which is too awful for words. Click at your own risk.
If you still think LuAnn is that bad, just check out this one from househusband Simon Van Kempen.
You have to admit that LuAnn sounds and looks incredible compared to that. The best part of LuAnn's whole song, however, is this line that I'm not sure how she sang with a straight face: "Live with dignity ..." If she's going for irony, she nailed it, though I highly doubt she was. Oh well, c'est la vie.
What do you think of the LuAnn de Lesseps song, "Chic, C'est La Vie"? Which is your favorite song by one of the Real Housewives?

Oh my, that was horrible!!!!
Talking to music is not singing. These women (and that husband) need to go away, already. What is wrong with our society that we keep making celebrities out of people for doing nothing?!?!
This is amazing!
I can't click the videos. I just can't make myself do it. LuAnn's "money can't buy you class" was so unintentionally ironic coming from HER, and her voice is absolutely terrible. She has no range, no ear for rhythm, and her tone is pitiful - she sounds like an 80 year old life-long smoker. I just can't click to see something new from her.
HA HA HA She's not even singing! It's like slow weird talking. I can't stop watching!
All right, I manned up and clicked it. I'm sorry I did. It was as bad as I thought it would be.
Really, its their 15 minutes up yet? Hey Countess (in her own mind) do us all a favor, stop making crappy music. That song made my ass itch.
Bethany Frankel said it best "Ya dumb drag queen!"
I really do think she is manly looking...even all done up. Luann (because I refuse to call her Countess) needs to get a real job.
Bethany Frankel has the last laugh for sure. Pure Comedy. It wouldn't be that bad if Jill (fame whore) and Kelly ("Who's gonna fix my henna tattoo? Santa?) weren't in the video. LOL.
LuAnn is delusional to think she can sing. She can talk a good game. I hope Jill's cringing watching herself try to walk and move to this music. Kelly can walk and does a great job otherwise, with a little too much swinging of her hair. The thing that I really didn't like was LuAnn's crack about filiming at AC's Borgata: "What a fabulous hotel, and in Jersey ... who would have known! It's beautiful." What a snob!!
