Countess LuAnn “Money Can’t Buy You Class” VIDEO Premiere
In Today’s “Bitch Please!” Report, we have a Real Housewives whose is in Real Denial about her vocal talents…or lack thereof. Who says a woman with the voice of a chain-smoking drag queen can’t sell an album? The Real Housewives of New York City’s LuAnn de Lesseps has not only inked a record deal — she’s released her own music video!
Might want to break out the earplugs…
LuAnn’s video in support of her debut single “Money Can’t Buy You Class,” is not only chuckle-inducing, but also Exhibit A in the Case of The Record Industry vs. Autotone. Apparently, money can’t buy you talent, either. Of course, that hasn’t stopped a techno-themed label from throwing their support behind The Countess. The Bravo reality star — who lives by the mantra “Elegance Is Learned” — has inked a deal with Ultra Records – home to electronic / dance hitmakers Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, David Guetta, and Morcheeba.

My name is James Murray but I do sets, styling and creative direction

How and when was the video supposed to be released?
Our original plan was to a final edit, and premier the video at the venue
where the video was shot {Covet Lounge in NYC}
Do they have any idea who leaked the video?
It was a very select group that had access to the video, so NO, I have no
idea how it was leaked
What was the inspiration for the video?
I want an overall look that was representative of the “Countess” but also
was a departure from her character on The Real Housewives of New York
City. My goal was to present Luann De Lesseps, the singer, not the reality
star. It seems that my choices, especially hair { http://www.MikiMoriHair.com } and
makeup { http://www.KimWeber.com } were very well received. I also had some
wonderful designs that were instrumental in the wardrobe. Maggie Norris
Couture, Blanc de Chine, Ungaro and Malan Breton provided some amazing
pieces.
Is this your first music video shoot?
Although I have done the styling and set design for many videos,
this was my first music video on which I was the creative director.
What was it like to work with the Countess?
Luann is a lovely, sophisticated woman with an incredible grace and sense
of personal style. From the first moment we met, I knew this project was
going to be a blast.
Did she have a hand in the look of the video ?
Luann has a very hands-on personality. Thankfully we connected and were
very much “on the same page”
Are there plans for another Countess De Lesseps video ?
I guess we will have to wait and see what Luann and Ultra Records have in store.

Dislike! Her voice sounds like a man and she talks most of the way through the song. She looks fantastic but doesn’t look “classy” in the video. To be honest, she looks rather slutty. Sorry LuAnn fans….

OMG!!! I am embarressed for her! I think she looks and sounds ridiculous. Anyone who has enough money can pay someone to make a video of themself TRYING to sing
