I'm apparently rather behind on this one, but Film.com brought this to my attention today. I'm even more behind than normal, because this apparently a big enough internet sensation that the response to its internet sensation status is already on the internet as well.
At any rate, my lateness to the game aside, Danielle Staub of Real Housewives of New Jersey was on PIX11 (CW) in New York, apparently just to "sing." Her bizarrely bad vocal talents, laughable... I guess "dancing," and curious entourage flew onto the net, and the ridicule frenzy took off like a shot. It caused at least enough buzz that there was a follow-up with her reaction to the reaction. Both videos are below.
Now, in fairness to the general effort, let's face it, this is a show by, for, and about... well, you know. And, in fairness to the response to the response, if the reviews of the television show aren't going to phase her, why is she going to care if people mock her singing?
While certainly a bit of train wreck fun, my question is, why does no one have anything to say about the fact that these things are on the air in the first place? Being willing to sing terribly on TV is one thing, but you can get anyone to do that. Actually putting them on is rather a different ballgame altogether.
Go CW!
