Countess Luann de Lesseps has been on The Real Housewives of New York City since season 1, and we're here to rank her tunes from the least inspiring to the most irresistible. Luann has made it crystal clear that she is a housewife turned pop star, and she has an entire catalog of songs to prove it. The Countess has many successful hits and has taken her talent to the stage with her cabaret show, "Countess and Friends." Fans can watch her sing on TV. They can also purchase tickets to see her live in concerts around the country.
Luann says that she has been singing since childhood, and she finally visited a recording studio in The Real Housewives of New York City season 3. She recorded her first single, "Money Can't Buy You Class." Her first song was inspired by her 2009 etiquette book, Class With The Countess. Luann started reading lines from the book and realized that they could be made into a song, so she combined her writing and singing abilities to create a new musical experience.
When Luann came up with the idea to record a song, she had no idea that it would become popular enough to spark a musical career. Her songs have become anthems for RHONY fans and the entire Bravo network. These songs are so catchy and people can't get them out of their heads, but not all of these tunes hit the right notes. Let's rank each of The Countess's songs from worst to best.
5. Chic, C'est La Vie
"Chic, C'est La Vie" is Luann's second song that was recorded in 2011. This song is about the fabulous life that Luann is so fortunate to live as a housewife. She wrote it with producer Chris Young and shot a music video at the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City. Former RHONY Housewives Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon were featured in the music video. While "Chic, C'est La Vie" is a nice dance tune, it might be better to hear The Countess sing it live, rather than listening to it on a random occasion.
4. Viva La Diva
Luann brightened up everyone's year in 2020 with her newest song, "Viva La Diva." The track also features Desmond Child and was accompanied by a black and white New York City-style music video. This song tells the infamous story of how Luann bounced back after being arrested for assaulting a police officer while drinking in Palm Beach three years prior. Luann's sobriety inspired her to write more songs, and this became the catalyst for her cabaret show. Fans love "Viva La Diva," but it definitely gets worse ratings than some other songs The Countess has released.
3. Girl Code
Luann's song "Girl Code" was released in 2015, and the inspiration for the song had Bravo fans laughing hysterically on their couches. The hit was written after Luann's famous "Be cool, don't be all uncool" catchphrase in RHONY season 7, which was directed at former castmates Heather Thomson and Carole Radziwill in Turks and Caicos. The song was performed on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live, featuring Luann and her daughter Victoria de Lesseps as a background vocalist and dancer. "Girl Code" may not be the top song, but some people think it's underrated.
2. Feelin' Jovani
Bravo fans can thank the fired diva Dorinda Medley for being the muse of Luann's song, "Feelin' Jovani." Dorinda yelled "Jovani, Jovani, Jovani!" at The Countess during her season 10 cabaret show. Luann was heckled because she forgot to thank her friend for lending her dresses from the company Jovani Fashions. "Feelin Jovani" came with a star-studded music video that featured Cynthia Bailey and Lisa Rinna.
1. Money Can't Buy You Class
Fans of Bravo and RHONY can't deny that "Money Can't Buy You Class" is the greatest Real Housewives song ever. It was the Countess's first song and deserves the top spot. It was remixed by Vanderpump Rules cast member James Kennedy, whom Luann connects with as they both quit drinking. Countess Luann is the queen of The Real Housewives Of New York City hit song.
