Where Does 'The Situation Rap' Stand Among Reality Star Songs?

By Denise Warner Posted Jun 15th 2010 07:00PM

Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino -- you know, the one with the abs on 'Jersey Shore' -- is releasing a rap song called ... wait for it ... 'The Situation.'

TMZ debuted a small snippet of the tune, which is a collaboration with Fatman Scoop, DJ Class and The Disco Fries. You can purchase the song this week on iTunes, if you are so inclined.

After listening to the 'Shore' star's efforts -- it got us thinking. How does it compare to other awesomely bad reality star's songs?

Listen to 'The Situation' below!

Get the Girls on Pop's Thoughts on Reality Stars and Their Music

Right before Sorrentino's rap hit the Internet, 'Real Housewife' Countess LuAnn de Lesseps released her single, 'Money Can't Buy You Class,' on May 25. An elegant music video with great makeup and even better lighting followed. Our Facebook and Twitter friends were thrilled when we passed this around.

LuAnn wasn't the first 'Housewife' to try her hand in the biz. Who could forget Kim Zolciak's 'Tardy for the Party'? Kim started selling her 'Party' on iTunes in 2009 and is expected to release a full-length album sometime this year. We definitely can wait for that.

Then there was Heidi. Heidi Montag literally spent a fortune on her singing career. (She said it cost $2 million to produce her debut album, 'Superficial,' leaving her broke.) Although 'Superficial' came out in January, Heidi actually released several singles before hand, including 'Higher,' which began assaulting our ears in February of 2008.

Of course, before any of them was Paris Hilton. She was first to channel her sex tape into a reality show on her way to fame. So it makes sense she'd be the pioneering reality star in the record industry. And, admit it, you've caught yourself singing along to 'Stars Are Blind' off of her self-titled album from 2006.

We're not too crazy about reality stars using their 15 minutes of fame this way. You've already got a TV show. Why branch out into other territories? Leave it to people who can actually sing. It goes one step beyond actors who want to be musicians -- because at least they have talent to begin with.

OMG WHO EVER TOLD HER SHE COULD SING... SHE MUST HAVE A LOT OF MONEY....

Heidi Montag's "higher" made me barf, but that didn't stop the song from playing. Too weak to get up and turn off the song, I was left with no other choice but to try to drown myself in my own vomit. Luckily the song ended before I succeed.

the countless should do a porn film she is tone deaf

It a" PRIVELEGDE" NOT TO LISTEN TO HER ! DOES SHE REALLY THINK SHE CAN SING ? My Dog sings Better than She.

By chris

I believe these are signs of armegedon. Locusts, Blood rain, and music videos from talentless reality "stars". Gives more credibility to the world ending in 2012.

The Countess sounds like a drag queen "singing" at a bowling alley. Just awful.

OMG, thank you! As soon as it started, I was immediately taken back to memories of the drag shows I've been to!! All she was missing was heavy glitter eyeshadow and overly lined lips!

By Martigal

I had to reply to this post because I feel the exact same way. Even with all the work on her voice, to cover her up, it still sounds terrible to me.

By MONA

I thought she was a drag queen..
