Surprise, surprise: Danielle Staub's fellow Real Housewives of New Jersey are less than impressed with her vocal prowess.
Staub debuted her single "Real Close" on Monday's Watch What Happens Live -- singing the romantic ballad with singer-songwriter Lori Michaels.

"I mean, whatever," Caroline Manzo told UsMagazine.com at Thursday's My Big Gay Italian Wedding premiere in Brooklyn, New York. "Clearly she can carry a tune. Is she a singer? I'm not quite sure."
"It wasn't horrible," Jacqueline Laurita added. "It was very breathy. It wasn't a wide range. She was just singing really breathy in the microphone, so it's hard to hear the range of her voice."
"She skated past it," Manzo sniped. "She did what she had to do, and fine. But can she really sing? Let's belt one out."

Added Teresa Giudice: "It's not like she was really singing....Ask Simon from American Idol."
Staub's foes haven't exactly sworn off music careers of their own. "I don't know if I can sing. Maybe I should try it," Giudice says.
Manzo's suggestion: "Maybe we should do a country album or a rap song. Maybe the Spice Girls!"
"I think we should do like a rap song," Giudice continued, "and in the background I'll say 'prostitution whore, prostitution whore'! We could do it with Jay Z."

Recently-departed housewife Dina Manzo thinks her hairless cat should give singing a try. "Grandma Wrinkles is coming out with a single soon," she joked to Us at the event. "She's been in the recording studio for weeks."

81Ashley needs to grow up, and get a good reality check. She is the type of person that is going to be a looser and blame it on her parents for kicking her out. It's sad, tough love Danielle don't let her grow up and be a burden on society because she can not be independent. Ashley is a pain in the ass glad she's not my KID.
Hey, Kelly, Shut the crap up!! caroline is awesome and could kick your @$$!
on that one episode when the breakout into a huge fight w/ d staub and teresa, i dont believe ashley pulled out d's real hair! it was prop a cheap exstinction!
Caroline is the only normal woman on there!!!
Amazing. Monique and tiff are the only 12 year olds here. Get a clue ladies, Danielle is one sick chick. My guess is you find her appealling because you have issues too
omg monique you have everything so right omg i cant believe there is actually people out there who thinks with they own brain.i applaud you. who ever hates danielle are ignorant fools. because ive seen the show since season 1 and all i have seen is her trying to be these bullies friend and then they make her out to be crazy. omg have you guys seen the show because all ive seen is bullyin and the leader is caroline she is not no sweet person just a big fat bully. high school all over again. i dont like her so guess what you cant like her either. and you know wats so funny they talk about danielle every chance they get so that they can brainwash us to think she is a bad person. there is so much i can say and point out to show that the crazies are really caroline and her followers but i wont cause if you dont get it your a fool that has been brain washed by caroline with no mind of your own.are you just dont know about the real world and that there are actually people out there who needs to be wanted and thats danielle but the bullies wont allow that cause guess whatthey want the show to be about their friends and family and danielle wasnt. they are all family and theresa is a long time friend get it people no one else is allowed in the circle-
Oh, one more thing. Danielle, no one wants to follow you into a bathroom and beat you to death1 you're nuts!
Danielle has no idea she;s completely crazy. She plays games and tries to play the innocent card. Showing up at the Brown Stone without even donating any money and with uninvited guests and then gets angry when there isn't a table for her and her uninvited guests. Um, the last thing i knew if you're not invited you shouldn't be allowed in and they were trying to accommidate them and it wasn't good enough. Oh and her possy is completely ridiculous! it's not like they are going to stop anything from happening an dthen they caused a seen at a place they weren;t invited too. Danielle deserved to have her hair pulled! haha! Danille shouldn't be allowed on teh show. She seems bipolar and needs to medical and mental help!
Danielle has got to be one of the ugliest women I've ever seen - TV or on the street!!! The phoney with the owl eyes. What is with that white crap on her eyes? God, she looks worse and worse on each new show. Between her mouth and her face and her empty head, there breaths a mutant.
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE BULL.... NO WONDER DANIELLE IS SO FIRED UP THIS SEASON, I AM NOT EVEN HER AND WATCHING THESE WOMEN MAKE ME EVEN MAD. WHY DO THESE PEOPLE LEAVING COMMENTS HATE HER, WHY DO THE OTHER WOMEN ON THE SHOW HATE HER? SERIOUSLY? I WANT TO KNOW. NO ONE CAN GIVE ME A SECIFIC REASON, CAN YOU HATE A PERSON SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU JUST HATE THEM? WHICH IS WHAT I THINK THESE WOMEN ARE DOING. I THINK THAT MOST PEOPLE WHO HATE DANIELLE DID NOT WATCH THE FIRST SEASON AND ONLY STARTED WATCHING THE RHWONJ DURING THE SECOND SEASON AND ARE ONLY GOING OFF OF WHAT THE SORORITY GIRLS ARE SAYING DURNG THIER PERSONAL INTERVIEWS. IF YOU WATCHED THE SHOW SINCE THE FIRST SEASON, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE WITNESSED HOW THESE WORMEN TREATED HER. DANIELLE TRIED WITH ALL HER HEART TO BEFRIEND "IF YOU THINK IM A *****, BRING IT ON" DINA AND HER FAMILY, THEY WERE NOT LETTING HER INTO THEIR CIRCLE WITH DINA BRAGGING AND LAUGHING THAT DANIELLE WAS OBSESSED WITH HER (IN OTHER WORDS, BEING TOO FREINDLY AND DINA THINKING SHE'S TOO GOOD TO BE FRIENDS WITH THIS WOMAN). TO TOP IT ALL OFF, IM SORRY, IM JUST NOT BUYING THE WHOLE PITBULL CAROLINE SAYING THAT DANIELLE DID SOMETHING TO HER FAMILY AND SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE DID AND THATS WHY CAROLINE HATES HER SO MUCH, BUT OUT OF RESPECT FOR DINA, SHE WONT SAY, GET THE **** OUT OF HERE, IF SOMEONE DID SOMETHING TO MY FAMILY LIKE THE WAY CAROLINE IS ACTING, THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN WOULD KNOW. THERESA'S BANKRUPTCY CAME OUT, DANIELLE'S PAST ALSO. ISNT IT STILL MYSTERIOUS TO EVERYONE HOW THIS THING THAT DANIELLE DID TO CAROLINE AND HER FAMILY HAS NOT COME OUT YET. DUH, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENDED. SO SPARE ME THE FAKE RAGE, CAROLINE. YOU ARE THE OVERLY DRAMATIC ONE, EVERYTIME I SEE YOU, YOU ARE ALWAYS CRYING, BULLYING,YELLING AT SOMEONE OR TELLING THEM HOW TO LIVE THIER LIVES. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY EVEN JAQUELINE HAS JOINED THE DANIELLE BASHING. NOW I DO REALIZE THAT DANIELLE SHOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED JAQUELINE TO CHOOSE HER OVER HER HUSBAND AND I DO THINK THAT THE MANZO'S HATRED OF DANIELLE HAS RUBBED OFF, OOPS TAKEN OVER JAQUELINE. WE ALL KNOW HOW FAMILY'S ARE, SOMETIMES ITS JUST EASIER TO AGREE AND GO ALONG WITH THEM, WHICH IS WHAT JAQUELINE IS DOING EXACTLY. IF DANIELLE DID MAKE A SEX TAPE, WHO THE F CARES, WHO IS NOT HAVING SEX, ARE YOU SERIOUS PEOPLE, IM SURE SHE'S NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WITH A SEX TAPE AND THEY'RE NOT GETTING CALLED PROSTITUTION WHORAAAHS, WITH THE RIGHT MAN, ONE OF THOSE TAPES MIGHT BE KIND OF FUN, AND COME ON LADIES YOU KNOW IT, STOP PRETENDING LIKE YOU'RE NUNS, COME ON NOW AND BE REAL. WHO DOES NOT HAVE A PAST, IS THE REASON THEY DONT LIKE HER BECAUSE SHE HAS A PAST, WHO DOESNT, WHAT SHE DID HAPPENED OVER 25 YEARS AGO. WHO THE BLEEP BLEEP CARES ABOUT HER PAST. SERIOUSLY WHO IS THAT CONSMED WITH ANOTHER PERSONS PAST, GET A LIFE PEOPLE. THERE ARE SOMETHINGS THAT I, ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE, HAS DONE IN THE PAST THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO ERASE AND PRAY SOMEONE DOES NOT WRITE ABOUT IN A BOOK. IF I WASNT FRIENDS WITH ANYONE THAT DID NOT HAVE A PAST, I WOULDNT HAVE ANY FRIENDS. IN FACT DANIELLE IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT IS SHOWN ON THE SHOW WITH FRIENDS, WHICH IS AN INDICATION OF HER GOOD HEART AND OPEN PERSONALITY. ANY TIME THE OTHER LADIES ARE SHOWN, THEY ARE SEEN ONLY HANGING OUT WITH FAMILY AND EACH OTHER. I WONDER WHY, IS IT BECAUSE NO ONE IS GOOD ENOUGH TO JOIN THEIR SORORITY. IN HIGH SCHOOL THERE WAS ALWAYS ONE PERSON THAT WAS AN EASY TARGET FOR THE "POPULAR GIRLS" TO PICK ON, I GUESS IT DOES NOT CHANGE AFTER 30 YEARS. ON THIS SHOW, THAT PERSON SEEMS TO BE DANIELLE, AND LISTEN UP PEOPLE BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT **THE REAL REASON THEY DONT LIKE DANIELLE IS BECAUSE....DRUM ROLL PLEASE.... SHE FIGHTS BACK, SHE DOESNT ROLL OVER AND TAKE IT LIKE A PUSHOVER, SHE STANDS UP FOR HERSELF AND I RESPECT THAT, AND CAROLINE,AND DINA, AND THERESA, AND JAQUELINE CANT STAND IT. IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE BULLIES IN HIGH SCHOOL, THEY NEVER COULD. ASHLEY PUTTING UP TWO "I HATE DANIELLE STAUB" FACEBOOK PAGES AND SENING HER NASTY TEXT MESSAGES AND THEN PEOPLE EXPECTING DANIELLE NOT TO REACT OR FEEL ANY ANGER, AGAIN, ARE YOU PEOPLE SERIOUS? MOST OF US GET MAD WHEN PEOPLE CRANK CALL OUR PHONES, COULD YOU IMAGINE IF SOMEONE WAS DOING THIS TO US AND THEN WAVING TO US AND SMIRKING ACROSS THE ROOM AT THE FASHION SHOW. ASHLEY IS AN ADULT AND SHOULD RECIEVE ADULT CONSEQUENCES FOR HER ACTIONS BUT PEOPLE WANT TO BABY HER JUST LIKE HER MOTHER PROBABLY DID , THATS WHY ASHLEY CURSES HER OUT EVERY DAY. ASHLEY DOES NOT EVEN RESPECT HER OWN PARENTS AND TREATS HER MOTHER LIKE GARBAGE. IF I EVER SPOKE TO MY MOTHER THIS WAY, OHH GIRLLLLL! DINA GOT UPSET BECAUSE THE SANE PEOPLE IN AMERICA RECOGNIZED WHAT HER AND HER FAMILY DID TO DANIELLE IN SEASON 1 AND THEY SPOKE UP ABOUT IT, THEY SENT EMAILS AND LETTERS TO HER TELLING HER ABOUT HERSELF. THE PUBLIC SIMPLY DID NOT LIKE THE CONDESCENDING, SNARKY, CONCEITED, IM BETTER THAN YOU, TOO GOOD TO HANG OUT WITH YOU DINA, AND SHE COULDNT TAKE IT, SHE RAN LIKE SHE DID AT THE DINNER TABLE, LOL. SO WHAT DOES SHE DO FOR SEASON 2 TO TRY TO GET THE FANS ON HER SIDE, SHE RE-INVENTS HERSELF INTO THE ZEN, BUDDHIST CHANTING, INSENSE BURNING, MEDITATING, FAKE ZEN MASTER. ARE YOU SERIOUS, I WAS JUST WAITING FOR A GYPSY TO COME OUT AND READ HER FORTUNE. SORRY MISS PLATINUM WEDDINGS, MISS " I THINK DANIELLE WANTS TO SKIN ME AND WEAR ME LIKE LAST YEARS VERSACE, OH MY SHE SO IN LOVE WITH THE GREAT DINA" PULEASSSEE. SORRY IM NOT BUYING YOU CHANGING 38 YEARS OF DINA MANZO INTO ERYKAH BADU OVERNIGHT. SO LET ME RUN DOWN THE LIST FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN COMMENT LAND WHO HAVE ALL THESE REASONS TO HATE DANIELLE. I HONESTLY HAVENT SEEN ON THE SHOW DANIELLE DO ANYTHING TO CAROLINE, DINA, THERESA, OR JAQUELINE, OR MAYBE BRAVO IS JUST SITTING ON THIS FOOTAGE OF DANIELLE DOING ALL THIS STUFF TO THEM JUST BECAUSE, LOL, YEAH RIGHT. BUT WHAT I HAVE SEEN IS 1) THEM BRINGING THE COP WITHOUT A BADGE BOOK INTO A SALON, A SALON AND SHOWING PEOPLE, SPREADING RUMORS ABOUT HER. 2) THEM CALLNG HER A PROSTITUTION WHORAHH AND GARBAGE 3) THERESA FLIPPING A TABLE ON HER IN FRONT OFHER KIDS 4) ASHLEY STARTING 2 HATE DANIELLE FACEBOOK PAGES 5) ASHLEY TAUNTING HER AT THE FASHION SHOW 6) THERESA STARTING A FIGHT WITH HER AT THE SHOW 7) ASHELY PULLING HER HAIR OUT. COME ON PEOPLE WAKE UP. WHEN DID IT BECOME OKAY TO TREAT PEOPLE THIS WAY JUST BECAUSE THEY DONT FIT INTO YOUR LITTLE CLIQUE. I DONT GET IT, WHERE'S THE EVIDENCE (TEXT, EMAILS, WHAT?) OF WHAT SHE'S DOING TO THEM AND HOW SHE'S MAKING THIER LIVES SOOOOOO MISERABLE? WHAT EXACLTY IS SHE DOING TO THEM OTHER THAN EXISTING. WHEN DID THAT BECOME WORTY OF ALL THIS HATE. I KNOW BRAVO EDITS THE COMMENTS PEOPLE POST AND I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO POINT OUT THAT BRAVO ONLY LETS THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT DANIELLE GET POSTED AND NOT THE POSITVE ONES. THEY WANT THE PUBLIC TO BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE HAVE AN OVERWHELMINGLY VIEW OF DANIELLE. HOW CAN YOU, SHE HAS TWO BEAUTIFUL KIDS WHO ADORE HER, AND THEY SEEM SO POSITIVE AND WONDERFUL, SHE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. AND CAROLINE SAYING THAT THERE IS A DARKNESS IN DANIELLE'S KIDS, YOU'RE JUST A HATER. HOW CAN YOU TALK WHEN YOU CONDONE YOUR SON OPENING UP A STRIP CLUB AND WILL PROBABLY FRONT HIM THE MONEY T DO IT. ANYWAYS, I KNOW BRAVO I NOT RELEASING THE VIEWERS POSITIVE COMMENTS BECAUSE I AND MANY OF MY FRIENDS HAVE SENT PLENTY AND NOT ONE HAS BEEN POSTED. I PLAN ON STARTING A DANIELLE STAUB FAN SITE TO SEND A MESSAGE TO ALL THE BULLIES (CAROLINE, DINA, JAQUELINE, AND THERESA) OF THE WORLD AND TO LET THE PULBIC KNOW THE WORLD'S TRUE FEELINGS TOWARDS HER. SORRY LADIES, YOUR BULLYING HAS GONE TOO FAR LAY OFF OF HER!
This show is nothing without Danielle Staub. People complain about the drama, but that is why people tune in. I'm not interested in Caroline's family playing the ham game or Teresa's family making pasta sauce.
Why should she "belt" out a song? Is Lori Micheals belting out the song? That would be a different type of song.
I'm not liking RHONJ this season.It's boring and not interesting.Too much fighting, too much swearing, and too phony.Teresa living the high life when she couldn't even afford a pot to piss in!Hoe real was that?We saw one thing but the truth was totally different!The love Caroline feels for her family is real but i don't know what else is.And Danielle, so messed up and not changing her ways at all.I'll stick to the RHONYC, at least they have some class!
THE DANIELL NEEDS TO GO! I WILL NOT WATCH ANOTHER NJHW BECAUSE OF THAT CRAZY B**CH! YES DANIELL DINA HIT THE HAMMER ON THE HEAD YOU ARE SOE UGLY AND CRAZY. COME ON BRAVO CAN HER ASS. THE SHOW WILL STILL BE GOOD ADD ONE OF THE KIMS TO IT THEY WOULD DO A MUCH BETTER JOB THEN THE CRACKED FACE DRAG QUEEN LOOKING DANIELLE.
teresa should keep her ugly mouth shut and never pass an opinion on anyone else, ever. the nerve of that uneducated dirt bag to criticize anyone after cheating scores of hard working people out of hard earned money so she could show off on realty tv. She and that juiced up husband of hers should hang their heads in shame and be very contrite instead of passing judgement on others.
teresa, you should shut your BIG ugly mouth and keep a very low profile AND hang your hideous head in shame for all the misery you and your Neanderthal husband have caused working people. The vry nerve of you to show up in anyones store and soend money anywhere else than the discount food store. caroline, no matter how much weight you lose, yu will always be a big pig. your daughter is a little piggy version of you. The kim's are both trash, and I don't care how much money you have or how sucessful your shop may be, you are the lowest of low. Jacqueline, that gross daughter of yours should be in jail and maybe go to charm school. What a gutter mall rat and not attractive at that. Isn't it ironic that Danielle's daughters are the lovliest of all. She did something right.
why do all of you hate danielle you don;t even know her you only know what the bitachs have said on the show I can;t stand them with their attutudes maybe if you had what happen to her when she was a child you would be the same get over it a lot is made up to get high ratings
Danielle is a nasty nasty person!! I never thought I could hate someone I've never met..she is a trashy skank..who should be ashamed of herself..I feel so bad for her daughters..Bravo needs to kick her off the show..her singing sucks too..maybe she should stick to the stripper pole..well she sucked at that too..
Danielle is so annoying. She sees the world completely different from reality. Shes not a lesbian, shes an attention wh*re who thinks shes a star. Shes rude, fugly, and immature. I do however think teresa and jacauline like talking about her because when youre pissed you want to get it out and talk shiz. caroline seems to be the only one disgusted by her name. Danielle just wants to get famous so she can pay her bills. its called a JOB.
Let me just say that for someon who "WANTS" to be a high society woman, Danielle is nothing but dirt! She is psycho, rude, and all about Danielle and drama, drama, drama. She starts all the problems and I wish they would can her ass! I can't stand to see her, she is so ugly and just plain trash!
