Listen to Kim Zolciak’s new single ‘Tardy to the Party’ – if you dare. The RHOA Atlanta mag cover
Kim Zolciak, meet Auto Tune. Her not very country sounding dance tune “Tardy for the Party” was conveniently leaked to the Web.
Castmate and R&B singer-songwriter Kandi Burruss did her best to Britney-ize Kim with this song. And it’s pretty catchy.
Kim’s aspirations for being a country singer is a bit quixotic — and smartly ignored. Dance works better because it’s much easier to disguise vocal inadequacies with dance tunes.
Loading ...It’s now being promoted on her Web site though she writes that it wasn’t supposed to get out and they are attempting to get sites to take it down to no avail.
Tardy For The Party (Mix) – Kim Zolciak
And yes, even Atlanta magazine has gotten sucked into this RHOA vortex. Here’s the cover for their upcoming issue, courtesy of Kim’s wonderful Web site:
And Kim linked to the argument between Kim and NeNe over the “choking” incident on the Ryan Seacrest show. NeNe gets pretty heated:
NeNe calls her actions self defense. Kim said she slapped NeNe’s finger away after NeNe attacked her first. NeNe called her a liar. Will Kim press charges? “I can’t answer you… it’s in discussion.”
“I’m going to get you boo,” NeNe said. “I’m going to see you in court.”
And even our very own Mike Luckovich has created a RHOA-themed cartoon.

LOL!!! I just listened to the piece from the Ryan Seacrest show – and anybody in their right mind already knows that Kim would not dare try to fight that “WILDEBEAST” NeNe!!!!!!! Grown men flee from that big husky thing!!! LOL!!!!

I guess anyone who has breath can record now. This is not what technology is for. It’s used to fine tune someone who can actually sing!!!!Kim needs to focus on her properly raising her girls by not sleeping with Big Pappa and the girls at the same time!!! What mother does that???? Does she have sex with this guy while the girls in the bed too? She needs mental help. Like yesterday!!!

For the record I do know these ladies. I don’t take it any of this too serious boo boo. I just hate when stupid people make comments about things they don’t know. If you’re gonna make a comment why not use your real name so you don’t hide behind a fake name. At least the girls are who they are and proud of it. Regardless of what people think of them there’s no need to try and put them up against one another. If anyone is a fake its you bloggers posting comments and not acknowledging who you are by your real name. Catch it!!!!
Are you kidding me?

Nene is real all right .. real IGNORNANT! In a couple years nobody will know or care who she is. She’d better milk this cow while she can.

It sounds like she is saying, “gon’ be retardy for the party”. Yes it isn’t good, but it is on par with most of the music in this genre. I’m not saying ALL of it is bad, just most of it. Oh, my personal favorite lyric is something like, “im gonna feel real good this time, after my third glass of wine…” WOW! She lives RAW!!! 3 whole glasses of wine (which probably came out of a box)?! Slow it down there, killer!

Hey, if you think that this show is degrading, wait unitl you see the Frankie and Neffe Show! Once again, painting a negative picture of the african-american woman. It seems that some of us would do anything to make a quick buck, even if it means selling our soul to the devil (Bravo & BET).

I’m still waiting to hear “Tightrope.” Even though Kim can’t sing well, that song is good enough to carry her. “Tardy to the Party” is lame and you can’t even hear her voice because it’s buried so far into the music. Hmm…

She should simply pole dance at some topless bar to the nickname Trailer Trash, if she can dance…because singing is not her thing. If Trailer is not really any older than she claims she sure has a lot of mileage on her. She’s really embarassing to ATL

A few questions:
1. What does Kim actually DO? Aside from having affairs with married men and putting out craptastic digitally remixed music, what does she DO?
2. Has anyone noticed the silicone lines on her album cover? Terrible.
3. While this show may be “entertaining” why do we support no-talent assclowns and reinforce the perception they have of themselves?

WOW!!!!!!! I had to watch an episode just to see what everyone was talking about. WOW is all I can say. This has to be the worst TV show ever produced. The scene where they started fighting in the upscale resturant and had the entire place watching them as they fought outside in the street. Are you kidding me? That just typifies the ghettoness and Kim is complete trailor trash. The 2nd dumbest girl on TV next to Kendra. They shouldn’t allow these girls in nice places like that. The other girl Sheree is just a typical ghetto black women. And what about the gay guy that threw a bday party for himself and felt up every girl that walked into the party. And all these girls just let him grab their breasts and completely degrade them. How in the hell do these ghetto girls and this trailor trash girl get a TV show?? This just goes to show that anyone can get on TV.

Ladies, let’s be real. Yes, there are lots of women in Atlanta who are successful. However, if you had your choice, you would definitely like to be taken care of by some else and not have to work. Secretly, good girls admire these women for going for what they want, without any shame and for being the bitch and taking charge.

I saw the episode (I’m embarrassed to say) when she went into the recording studio. The producer must have know already how much make up he was going to put on this thing with all the remixing because when they did the playback her voice was so bad it was uncomfortable for me watching in the privacy of my own home. Whoever mislead her and told her she had any singing talent was messin’ with her.

And, being a successful woman isn’t necessarily what attracts a man. Look at the men with money, they don’t go for career women. That should tell all of us something…

The reason I watch is to see these girls make complete fools of themselves. Ghetto trash at its finest. And in what better city to host this than the ATL, hip hop capital of the world AKA-Most Ghetto city in America!! ATL Representin’. A shout out to T.I, young jeezy and the rest of the hood rats for putting this city on the map.

My dog sounds better when she barking @ the garbage truck ! Atleast she barks on key & in tune ! Real Housewives in deed ! None of them have “real jobs & normal husbands”-the ones that have husbands ? Marrying money or having a “sugar daddy” is the easy way . Make my own money & always have-even tho I’m married.I will not depend on anyone for money.

This song is so terrible!!!!! It is too electronic and we do not hear Kim’s voice until at least close to the end of the song. Who is she fooling? At least she has a chance with this than she would have with Country Music. Because with country music, you actually have to sing, not hide behind some electronic gizmo.

I think “Tracy” is actually NeNe. Tracy writes precisely as NeNe speaks! Tracy made the statement ” If anyone is a fake its you bloggers posting comments.” Wouldn’t she be a blogger if she’s posting comments? LOL I think this show is entertaining for those of us who enjoy a weekly drama series, but it is difficult to take any of these women seriously. Kim probably has a little more class than the others, but who is she? I never heard of her before the show, and she’s not a housewife. NeNe is loud, overbearing, and has anger management issues which need to be address pronto! Just take a look at what anger has done to Naomi Campbell. Sheree is a total waste of airtime….what does she have going for herself that would even interest the public? Bob moved on and didn’t look back, so she’s not even a housewife. Lisa has a good heart, but no spine! I think she’s just glad to get some attention. Candi is just adorable and real. Her success did not come from riding on the coat tail of a man. Maybe next season we’ll finally get a real bunch of REAL house wives . I hope Candi returns, even if she doesn’t marry AJ.

Well well well- CLEARLY ANYONE can get a record deal with the right amount of bucks- Kandi knows Kim can’t sing but for the right amount of money I am sure she would help anyone; making a demo let alone an album IS NOT CHEAP. None of these women do a darn thing for me other than provide MINDLESS entertainment. Good for them and the fifteen minutes they are riding on- someobody believes in them enough to keep em’ coming. They ALL have issues…then again don’t WE ALL?

Lord help them all – Kim is okay, her wig is not bad – women of all races wear wigs and weave – all the women are cool but they need to buy a clue and realize that one day this show will end and they don’t want to wind up forever online and in minds as silly characters who are stereotyped and not taken seriously – you go ladies get paid while you can – the only thing recognized now is the color green common sense and decency is out the window right along with I Love New York – Real Housewives of any city will get old – we have short patience now days GO KIM your song is no worse than some other stuff I’ve heard – it is catchy and Kandi is the best of the housewives right now she is authentifc and talented

She and Heidi Montag should do a duet, they are both in the same category to me. They both suck. At least Heidi latched on to an a’hole and not a married man with money to get where she is.

I think that Kim’s song is fine she was bashed so much during the show about not being able to sing they just made her work harder know she has a album bein released and i heard it on the radio this mornin so go girl, Kandi is a smart industry woman because she looked @ the big picture a white chick that wants to pay money to make a hit so she helped her she will get paid go Kandi and i think that the song has a techno beat that will get played in certain clubs like were asian’s party they like that kinda music buffalo bills night club will most likely play that song as for NeNe she is doin her thang she’s just givin the show producers what they want raitings go girl as for lisa she is a hustla she just gettin paid and playin her cards no tellin what buisiness venture she will get into next as for Sheree’ she needs what ever money she can get for her shoppin habits DUMB, she has no natural talent’s and she think that she is so BOMB” but she is OLD and she looks like FALCORE on the NEVERENDING STORY! LMAO! she should have stayed with her rich husband cause she aint no sprangchicken and i dont think she’ll land another rich one we inna RECESSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!

This is a hot mess alot of back and forth. I’m still a fan of NeNe because she is funny as hell and doesn’t care what other people think of her. Its a show you guys and these days we all feed off of drama otherwise we wouldn’t watch and comment.
Kim cannot, I repeat, CANNOT sing. The song sounds dumb as hell…”tardy for the party”.

I think Nene and Sheree have a lot of nerve laughing and making fun of Kim’s wig. Umm they both have on weave. Weave or wig it’s all the same. I don’t have a problem with either, but be true about it Nene and Sheree. Kim needs to style her wig better, but she’s actually cuter than both Nene and Sheree.
Sheree looks like a horsehead transvestite.
Nene just looks like a transvestite.
Kim needs to find another talent because singing is not it. I think Neno, Sheree and Lisa need to back off of her though.
Lisa you act like you are on some OOH WEE. It’s more than just hyper. You look okay, but on some of the shots, WOW do you look old.
Kandi stop talking through your teeth. Open your mouth and talk girl. I don’t think you can sing. Buy some self esteem and don’t marry that loser. It says a lot about you.

Kim a couple of things (1) You can’t sing… your voice and music suck (2) You are not the least bit attractive and I am doing my best to keep this clean… just trust me! Put some clothes on (3) You were “30″ ten years ago.
