HORRIBLE: "Money Can't Buy You Class" by Countess De Lesseps

[rawTOP]

Just want to do a post to make it clear that all sorts of topics are OK here, and to show you can embed YouTube clips and have polls in your posts...

I watch Real Housewives of NYC all the time. The weird part is that a lot of the women I liked in previous seasons are total fuck ups this season. "Countess" LuAnn De Lesseps has gone off the deep end. When her husband (the count) divorced her she couldn't take a joke when someone called her "Countless". Then she's been discouraging Jill from making up with Bethenny. And now she's decided she's a singer and has come up with a song "Money Can't Buy You Class" which is horribly ironic since all her money (and a marriage to a count) didn't get it through her head that songs like this are degrading and classless....

I mean what WAS she thinking?

If you want to embed a YouTube video in a post, get the 'v' parameter out of the YouTube URL and then put it in a line that looks like this...

[ youtube ] k4XbM6_-deE [ /youtube ]

Only take all the spaces out of that line (if I don't put spaces in, the video will show instead).

So they did a video for the song...

It's better than the song on it's own, but I wouldn't call it great. She's definitely no Lady Gaga.

What I don't get is how she got someone to spend that much money on her? I mean is the producer doing this so he can sleep with her or something? Why would you invest this much money into a music video for someone who can't even sing?

It's the celebrity culture. I remeber reading some years ago Jon Simon's theatre review in New York magazine. It was a play with Patrick Stewart. I love the line he had at the end. 'Star Trek confers greatness on anyone.'
