High Note

LuAnn talks about her break into the music biz, why she skipped Ramona's trip, and more.

May 13, 2010

 

What people don’t know about me is that I love to sing. It’s a creative outlet that I really enjoy. In life, we don’t always hit the "high note," but it’s important to go out there and try. I had a great time in the recording studio. My producer, Chris Young, understands me and is enthusiastic and positive. We enjoy working together. I’ve recorded a new single entitled Chic C’est La Vie that I will debut tonight on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live. This song is another expression of me and my life that I hope everyone will enjoy. It will be available on iTunes soon and a portion of the proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society.

I decided to skip the St. Johns trip because it was Victoria's birthday. My children come first.

Ramona referred to me and Jill as "buzzkills," but I don't think anyone can kill Ramona’s buzz! I don't take anything she says seriously, especially when she's had a few glasses of Pinot Grigio!

Spending time with Courte is always interesting because he's smart and funny. I just wanted to let my hair down and have a good time with someone who could make me laugh. I loved it when he ordered a drink called the Deal Closer! Dating on camera was a little awkward, especially the kissy-kissy part. He gave me a copy of his new book, Scandolocity as a gift. Flirting with a smart and handsome man is always fun.

whob is the producer? he is amazing and i want to date him

Luann,
1st of all Dear, you can not sing. They can chop, mix and try to fix your voice all they want but your a horrible singer and an even worse lip singer.
2nd for a Lady who claims that she has class, you rump around like a scummy drag Queen.
3rd Ramona is right, you look silly in your purple off the shoulder dress!
Your as bad as Kelly.

Money can't buy you a voice worth listening to sweetheart.....

Wow Luann, you don't even know your date's name, how classy. For your information his name is spelled Coerte. Check GOOGLE if you don't believe me.

is Courte the one the fortune teller was foretelling?

I love the show. It is a wonderful escape for me, as I have a very stressful job.One thing that is not clear to me or to probably any of the viewers is that, how did it come to be that ALL of you are wealthy? Did you marry money, inherit it, or earn it yourself? What is your educational backgrounds?

Just because you LIKE to sing doesn't mean you CAN! And what a truly DUMB song!!!!!

I'm glad you enjoy singing but I have to say that if you had a day job, I would have suggested you keep it...

I'm sorry Luann- Kelly doesn't like to talk behind peoples backs??? Watch the episodes again. Not one of you NYC girls can keep your mouth shut. Having said that, you are probably the classier one of the group but this song...Oh Luann- trying to shove the 'Countess' thing down the throats of the USA viewers was hard enough to overlook but come on- PREACHING CLASS and then singing a song that is mixed sooo much is too much. How can you try to present yourself as this Socialite full of class and doing this type of thing? And then there's Courte- I know you're probably ready for someone and that's great. But just spend some time with this guy and get him out of your system because he's really gross. The way he uses his mouth is just GROSS. You can do so much better sweetheart. Your lovely but don't ruin your loveliness by some of the things you're doing that's 'not so becoming.' If you want to TRULY wear the title your former husband gave you for a few years- then be a Countess in the true sense of the word. I'm afraid the Queen Mother would not approve of this behavior of one of her gentry proclaiming this English title.

why are you trying to tare jill and bethany further apart. Let her make her own choices it is up to her to do what she has to do!

why did you try so hard to influence Jill against her old friends? whats it to you?

There are many things I, too, like to do but won't, much less on film. However, fashioned with a false sense of ability I suppose I would probably get out there as well. My dear you are much too big headed this season and it does not become you. Contradiction goes hand in hand with hypocrisy and you have been holding on to that fine line with both hands much too tightly. Loosen your grip and gain a little objectiveness, as well as humility and only then will we see past that thing you call "singing". Continue on and you'll open yourself up to far more criticism than you're used to receiving.

Umm, was Courte an extra in Boogie Nights?

you are not a countess. so stop already you are classless and rude cant stand you . you and jill need to grow up.. you two are just terrible. you ruin the whold show.

Um, "Money can't buy you class" and "Elegance is learned".

Well, you proved both, because with all your money, you have no class and you have not learned elegance either.

They both go together and you have neither.

LuAnn,
One more time you show just what kind of person you are.....Giving proceeds to the American Cancer Society....Class,Class,Class, you are pure CLASS...You and Sonja are two very, very classy women...Because of the two of you I look forward to Thursday nights...Thanks for the wonderful escapades that bring enjoyment to your fans.....Can't wait to see what's next ......

Just wanted to say that I tought it was not right when you told Alex that no one should take sides in the J & B thing. Have you not taken J side this season? Really Darling! Also, are you happy with what J has said about you?

you are a transparent hypocrite. you are the first to point fingers and criticize and your house is made entirely of glass and i hope bethenny and alex throw every rock they can find at it.

keep your day job (and I dont mean with Bravo)

CAMMIE74: if nobody cares what anyone has to say - then why are you wasting your time commenting on this blog. Makes ZERO sense. It's a blog for opinions, like it or not - we dont all agree but your comment was ridiclous.

LuAnn--You are a stunning woman and you are one of my favorites on the show. A gorgeous lady and obviously intelligent. But you are puzzling me this season. Kelli is just whack and you can have any guy you want, no doubt, so why even engage with this Cort character? He seems very "off." You're a beautiful lady and have wonderful children. I wish you all the best with your music. I love your confidence and willingness to try new things. Best to you!

LuAnn - I love you when you are LuLu not in the Countess Mode [as Simon said]. Your song you sang last Thursday with Andy and Sonja watching was terrific!

As I said..LuLu has a great future!

Kelly [on the other hand] on the boat acted bizarre, without class!

I think you are a truly beautiful woman who shows young women these days that you can be intelligent, independent, and classy and still be sexy and lively. I really appreciate that you aren't a total floozy like Ramona or catty like a lot of the other women. You are a strong woman and I think a wonderful role model to your beautiful daughter and many of the young women who view these shows. It is unfortunate that there are very few of these women on reality television today. I'm glad that you are loyal to Jill because Bethenney has thrown her under the bus in what appears to be a bid to get as many reality shows as she possibly can. Good luck in your new endeavors I am sure that you will undertake them all with class.

Countess,

You have to kiss alot of frogs before you find "Prince Charming".

He's out there! You'll find him!

I'm sorry Luann but just because you like to sing or enjoy singing does not mean you should be recording. I enjoying singing too..but know I do not have what it takes to record.

Also, step out of the relationship between Bethany and Romona. They don't need your help to resolve it. You stir the pot, you do not help.

You are still recovering from the pain of divorce. It's okay to be alone. It's okay to be vunerable. The man you are with is not good for you or your children... If they truely come first, you will leave him.

You really should have let Jill and Bethenny resolve this on their owm. It appears to me, that because your husband divorced you and you only have the house on LI that you are kissing up to Jill so you can crash at her place in the city for free. I remember last season you acted as if you were better then everyone darling. Now this season you are just LuAnn, divorced, kissing up, gossiping and pulling people apart. I can see how you like to be called countess but really you are not a countess. You are divorced from a man that was a count. Like getting half pregnant...it just doesnt work that way. Get off your horse and find a house in the city so you can stop the gossiping.

Luann here's my problem with you. Did you really feel the need to first walk out in Romaona's living room and say to Bethenny "do you want to talk to me or Jill" not everything is about you. Secondly, I feel that day Jill and Bethenny would have probably quashed whatever was between them had you not kept interrupting and then had the nerve to come say we have to leave. Then you continued to jump Romona for trying to fix a friendship that was very deep at one time. Think you're afraid to loose ure best friend. Remember Jill loves the underdog and I had thought maybe that was you with the divorce and all but from what they all say you were never alone when you had a husband always had other men around so stopping acting so inocent and countess like, That countess thing is the funniest thing ever to me, just get over it...

Darling, your behavier this season is something else! Not good! I don't think Jills influence on you is a good thing. You may want to take a break and rethink your friendship with her. You will be tossed aside when Jill finds another "Countess" to manipulate.

LuAnn,
I applaud your courage in entering the music world which can be so cruel and unpredictable sometimes. Pay no attention to those who say you cannot sing. The simple fact is that many people with flourishing record deals cannot even carry a tune a well as you can. The simple truth as well is that while you may not be classified with the greats like Mariah Carey and Celine Dion among few others who are clearly exceptional talents, you can still hold your own and there is room for you in the industry. Your voice packs alot of bass which is unique for a woman, and I suspect that is the reason for your 'female Barry White' comment. Ignore the noise and make good music Countess.

I think you & Kim from RHoA should do an album

wanting to protect and be loyal is one thing but hello kelly attacked bethenny.

Dear LuAnn,

You and Sonja looked stunning on WWHL last week. It's nice to see someone overcome a truly terrible situation (i.e. you divorce) without a pity party (ala Bethenny's brand). I think your voice is as lovely as your inner beauty. The haters simply don't get your sense of humor. Their loss. If they want to be lead by a self absorbed diva (i.e. bethennythebaker), that's their problem. You've shown that you are a wonderful friend and mother. Hopefully, you'll find true love in the future. From what was shown, I didn't see any chemisty with beau Coerte. He seemed too foppish and foolish on the date. Not a winner - But good luck in all you endeavors!!

Where you your own inspiration for your song "Money Can't Buy You Class"?

Luann, You have a great personality but you need to see that Jill and Kelly are crazy. I used to like Jill when she was friends with Bethenny, they were hilarious together and very loyal, but Jill overreacted to Bethenny's "get a life " comment. Too bad it makes me sad, because Jill has changed and has gotten mean and overly critical. You are by far the coolest housewife and very sexy. But you need to leave your singing for the karaoke bars. And I don't believe Bravo edits to make anyone look bad, they just amplify. SO don't blame them for bad behavoir, especially Kelly. We know whats happening and it really doesn't take any tricky editing so see.

LuAnne I think you wear beautiful jewelry, I love your haircut and your sense of fashion but girlfriend you always seem to be "on" for the camera and that's not a compliment. You seem guarded and incapable like the other six women to show who you truly are. Show some feelings and open up a bit more. We as viewers really have no idea who you really are. All we see is the Countess facade.

Buzzkill!~

LuAnn,

I'm glad you're just letting your hair down, relaxing, and having fun with guys on a fun, casual level. It's a good thing for a woman to do after getting out of a long, difficult relationship.

Last season, however, when Ramona advised Bethenny to do the exact same thing after her breakup, your response was snobbish and antiquated. Ramona told Bethenny to relax, have fun, and date casually, to which you responded, "I think that would build a reputation in my world, but I guess that's the difference between Ramona and I."

Interesting. LuAnn Nadeau, the time has come to drop the aristocrat act and come down and join us plebeians!

Ummm, does anyone think that Corte (sp?) reminds them of Arthur (from the 80's movies)? Countess, you are a beautiful person ... find yourself someone who values you for your brains, energy, and warmth. Leave the rest behind.

Thank you LuAnn for defending Kelly. You have shown yourself to be a true friend.

LuAnn: I think you appear to be one of the more down to earth women on these really pretty awful shows, but I must tell you, don't let them make you girls sing, it isn't good. I think they are making fun of you and the other gal, the blonde one who put a so called record out last year. It stunk and made her look foolish. Of course, they are going to fill you with all kinds of crap to make the show look dramatic and you guys very shallow. It is for ratings, don't buy it, this record is not going to sell. The drama is getting very old, same old stuff on all of these Housewifes of ______. They are the same show and frankly are getting boring. These shows are not classy.

More negative feed back than positive I see. This should be a clue to re-evaluate yourself and read your book on manners. Do as I say not as I do is being a Hypocrite. Get a clue.

As children we were taught that "class" is the ability to make others feel comfortable. I'm from the unsophisticated Midwest so what do I know?

LuAnn,
You call that singing? You sound ridiculous! You might have a good voice in there somewhere but we haven't heard it. Spend more time trying to find it so it will take you away from the show because it's time for you to exit. You really are a hypocrite along with Kelly & now Jill as well.

Just so you know,the show last thursday was great without you and jill on the boat .you with your gay BF was amusing to saay the least..they had to fill the spot with somethin i guess

Just realized I am softly singing "money can't buy ya cla-ass" over and over again at my desk at work...stuck in my head!

Ignore the dragons at the door, just be yourself. It seems like you and Jill have become good friends and I think she's a friend worth having, you too. You know what they say, you can count your close friends on one hand.............Kindest Regards, Hugs,Mrs S

the three stogges Jill,Luann and Kelly
you each need to wake up and smell the coffe, NO KELLY do not wake up in the morning and put your noise to the coffee pot it is a figure of speech.
your cricle of friends is now a mixed up tringle.
Bethany,you are a good person and i know you'll be a great mom!
thanks to Alex and Romoa for being there for Bethany.
you three are the greats!!!!
hope to see you two on Bethanys new show.

Wow, LuAnn. Did we watch the same show? First of all, um, how do I say this politely, a pop song is definitely not in your vocal range. Kelly was not defending Jill she was attacking Bethenny. To say that Kelly doesn't gossip is like saying you follow your own etiquette rules - get it?!?!? The two of you (and Jill) are of the same mold. They way you three behave it makes me enjoy the other ladies so much more. I hope things work out with your new cheesy boyfriend.

Luann darling, are you kidding me with this Courte guy? Can you say "EWWWW!" Its obvious YOU arent even into this guy and you were as repulsed by him as those of us sitting in front of our tv sets were! Come on, girl! You dont date slimey guys whose barn door obviously swings the both ways! Drop him......quick! I actually threw up in my mouth a little during that awkward kissing scene. Yuck!
Butt out of Jill and Bethenny's problems. They are grown women and can handle it. Show them the respect they are due by allowing them to get their acts together. The only reason I can see for you getting involved is jealousy. Do you want Jill all to yourself? Bethenny apologized to you. What more do you want from her? Accept it or dont...your choice.
