Real Housewives of NYC Star Signs to Ultra Records!

Well this was unexpected. Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, of Bravo's Real Housewives of New York City fame, has signed to indie dance music label Ultra Records! Ultra is home to dance artists such as Kaskade, Benny Benassi, Ferry Corsten, and Paul Oakenfold to name a few. According to E! Online, the Countess sealed the deal with Ultra on Wednesday. Her first single, "Money Can't Buy You Class" was released digitally on April 22nd. The Countess apparently sang a snippet from her second single, "Chic C'est La Vie" on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live last night after a new episode of her reality series.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Vocally speaking, the Countess isn't really that impressive. Granted, I don't know if the song actually showcases de Lesseps' talent or not. In the episode where she's singing, the higher she goes, the more out of tune she becomes. At least she's doing what she loves. According to de Lesseps, "In life, we don't always hit the high note but I wanted to go out and do my best because I have always loved to sing." Good attitude.

With a label like Ultra behind her, I'm interested to see what she does with her singing career. Let's she if she pull off another Kim Zolciak! So far it's Countess 1, Kim Zolciak 0 because last I heard, Kim doesn't yet have a record deal. You go Countess!
