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.

Actually the BEST reality show stars song. Is by Kandi Burgess called "Fly Above" I have it on CD and listen to it all the time. It's the song she sung on the Reunion show. Now she has talent.

yep that's so true but Kandi kinda doesn't count b/c she's actually a professional singer. She was in a very successful R&B group in the 90s called Xscape....which you probably already knew but just in case you didn't...

props to the guy who airbrushed her! She looks fabulous!

By Destiny

Is the entire rap only 50 seconds??? I mean he definitely could have done way worse but it wasn't as bad as I expected!! :)

By cbsnv

His rap is horrible, he can't sink, he can't act, he can only talk like a duff, once Jersey Shores off the air, they will all have to get a real JOB!!! If they know how to get 1.

OK PEOPLE SHE SUCKS SO BAD WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THEY CAN SING BECAUSE THERE ON BAD TV SHOWS SHE DOES LOOK GOOD WITH HER FAKE HAIR THOUGH HAVE TO GIVE HER THAT!!!!

By Dawn

Paris sounded good but anything would sound good after hearing Heidi Montag, was that a song or cats mating?

By Sonia Ivette

Who the hell tells these people they can sing? None of these music are heard in any NYC radio station. You got to be kidding me if I will waste money on their music.

By leolux10

Wow. this situation kid's getting even MORE annoying, now. It's reached a point where you can't even catch him on camera, without him flashing his lame abs all over the place. He must be incredibly insecure. lolz

By heidi

Money can't buy you talent either.

By Martigal

ROFL, I said the same thing when I heard her sing in that studio on Real Housewives of New York. Was the producer stone deaf or what??

By EJ

The Countess was a dud in the sack, she could not satisfy her gray haired old husband. So he replaced her with a hot young girl. The Countess is 45? she looks closer to 50.

By mw

The situation should give up acting and music, and take up boxing, his nose is spread out enough to be a boxer. Montag is the biggest joke ever, or real close. These people suck at singing. They need to get real jobs and stop living in the fantasy lane.
