Kim Kardashian, Teen Mom Farrah Abraham, Nicole Richie and more stars who attempted to become pop superstars but failed
MUSIC is not everyone's forte.
From Kim Kardashian to Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham to Nicole Richie, here are some stars who FAILED at a pop pivot - and left behind an earful of evidence.
"Quite honestly, it's a great pop record."
Paris' brief music career is actually perhaps a better example of a musical misstep that's aged nicely into a pop cultural artifact that holds its own on semi-ironic party playlists.
Here are some stars whose earnest attempt to branch out into music may not be such ‘shining’ examples as Stars Are Blind.
KIM KARDASHIAN
In 2011, Kim released a pop song and accompanying music video called Jam (Turn It Up) - produced by The Dream, who co-wrote Single Ladies by Beyonce and Umbrella by Rihanna.
It was the megastar media mogul's first and last attempt at a music career.
The song can be found on , and the video - which "never officially saw the light of day" per - was re-uploaded by fans to YouTube.
“She doesn’t dance or anything just ... posing..." one wrote on the pulsating pop performance.
Kim, 41, doesn’t look back in anger, however.
"But then I talked to The Dream who wrote it ... And he was like 'did you have fun?' And I was like, 'yeah I had fun.'
They began dating one year later.
NICOLE RICHIE
In 2007, Nicole Richie cut the track Dandelion, a cover of a song originally written by LFO and .
While Nicole's father Lionel Richie is a music legend - and the apple may have fallen far from the "Dandelion" in this case - some fans still enjoyed it.
"She's better than most artist[s] today i mean she's no Mariah but she's not bad at all," one YouTube commenter wrote.
"She can sing," wrote another. "This is so late 90's early 2000's - kinda [a] chill song."
FARRAH ABRAHAM
Teen Mom star Farrah, 30, is known to be quite the entrepreneur - from books to businesses - and the reality star also has the discography to prove it, for better or worse.
In 2012, at the height her original show 16 and Pregnant, Farrah released a book, My Teenage Dream Ended.
The made it to No. 11 on the New York Times bestseller list, but she also released an oft-forgotten studio album with the same name.
According to , "The father of Abraham’s child, Derek Underwood, passed away a month before her birth. This sent Abraham into a deep depression and was the inspiration for her 2012 debut album."
Some said the album should make her an "Avant Garde icon," yet one user entitled their take: "Farrah Abraham's My Teenage Dream Ended review - Worst album ever made?"
"It's more of a hobby right now, but we'll see in a couple of years if I actually do want to take it to the next level, to a more professional level.
"This song is so good idc if she's Trump's daughter," user wrote while grooving to it.
