Countess LuAnn, ‘Chic C’est La Vie’ – Song Review

From our “Make It Stop” File: Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of ‘The Real Housewives of New York’ has released another single. As if one wasn’t enough to last us a lifetime. This one is called ‘Chic C’est La Vie’ and while Lu has all the scratch in the world, she can’t purchase talent.



What’s probably most insulting about LuLu’s new song is the lyrics, where she tries to level the playing field by “singing” the following words: “Beauty, class and elegance lie within the soul / Money, power and romance are waiting for us all.” Sorry, Lu, but we don’t travel in your tax bracket nor do we have comparable bank accounts, so we don’t think your assessment is on the level.

‘Chic C’est La Vie’ sounds like a bored, wealthy, middle-aged woman with loads of expendable income and copious amounts of free time indulging her pop star fantasies. It’s not even so bad it’s good; it’s just plain awful and a big bucket of suck. Guilty pleasure, you might ask? Not even.

Her handbag may be Louis Vuitton. Her heels may be Louboutins. Her diamonds may be a plenty. Her dress may be Chanel. But her music ranks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down there with Milli Vanilli. Nice try, Lu.
