Not the red leather pants again...
Joining the race for the Best Song by a Reality Star Grammy Award (no, there isn't actually such a thing...settle down, Kathy Griffin) is Simon Van Kempen from The Real Housewives of New York. All songs by reality stars are pretty special, but there are several things that make Simon's "I Am Real" particularly amazing:
The use of great vocab words like "duality" and "preen".
Mentioning "Twitter" in songs always equals musical credibility...
..as does stealing your wife's bad catch phrases ("thug in a cocktail dress").
Simon looks like a scary German WWE wrestler in the picture.
The lyrics flash on the screen during the video! Just like Sesame Street! Actually, we really do need the written lyrics to decipher the combination of Simon's bad singing and annoyingly pretentious accent.
Lastly, "I Am Real" has one of the most poignant concepts for a celebrity - especially a reality star - to sing about: self-importance! Loves it!
