The singing bug has bitten another housewife as Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of the Real Housewives of NYC is the latest housewife to announce she wants a singing career.
According to E! News, LuAnn has already written and recorded a song titled “Money Can’t Buy Class,” a dance song inspired by her memoir/etiquette book Class With the Countess. LuAnn is however claiming she isn’t taking the singing thing too seriously, “I’m not trying to be Madonna, but I love to sing, and I can sing,” she says. “I sing all the time for my friends.”
So who would the Countess like to duet with? You will be surpised by LuAnn’s answer – “I want to work with Akon,” she said. “I love Akon. I saw him perform at the Apollo Theater. I took my daughter to see him because she’s such a huge fan, and I realized how great he was.”
When asked if a duet with Atlanta housewife Kim Zolciak is in the future, the Countess gave a somewhat polite answer. “I can’t see myself teaming up with her for a duet,” LuAnn said. “I think I’m going to fly solo for the moment.”
LuAnna also reveals she is dating again after her highly publicized split from husband Count Alexandre de Lesseps, who left her for an Ethopian princess last year. “I’m going slowly, but I’m very happy,” she said. “I’m finally ready to move forward. It’s taken a long time, and I’ve been through a lot, but I have been dating.”
She confirms some of her dating escapades will make it on to the 3rd season of the Real Housewives of New York City.
What???!!! First there was Jo De La Rosa, then Kim Zolciak, then Gretchen Rossi and now Luann De Lesseps??? I wish they would all remember that singers develop their vocals over time, NOT overnight!!! Kandi is the only one out of any of the housewives who has any vocal talent whatsoever. Let it remain that way!
So first, being a clothes designer was all the rage. Then came the books. Now everyone wants to make the charts singing. What’s next, actual charity work in Haiti?
Fauleigh, maybe they’ll all decide that working for a living is chic. Wouldn’t THAT be a surprise?
I wouldn’t encourage anyone over the age of 40 to embark on a singing career unless they’ve got the chops to begin w/. So far, only Kandi has shown any talent. The human voice weakens over time as evidenced by people like Elton John and Rod Stewart who should have hung it up a LONG time ago.
These women are doing anything and everything to make a name for themselves now. The last thing I want to hear is their trilly voices on a cheezy song singing about something depressing like the death of a sugadaddy.
Go for it!!
I think we should start our own “Bucket List” … so I’ll go first
LuAnn wants to sing … and I want a million $$ to be dropped in my mailbox anonymously.
NEXT?
Oh puh-leez LuAnn, don’t be ridiculous.
I want to be a fighter pilot, but I don’t think the Air Force is looking for 54 year-old REAL houseswives who have never been in cockpit.
I’ve always thought she was one of the more level-headed of the whole bunch, but I guess not. I’d normally advise her not to give up her day job, but she doesn’t have one.
