Who has seen Love in the Heir on E! and isn't afraid to admit it?
This show is supposed to be a "reality show" which I know, I know we're all sick of, about Princess Ann Claire. She wants to be a country singer, but her parents are demanding she either find a husband or move back with them in London, or they are cutting her off.

It's such a train wreck, her singing is terrible but she keeps trying. It's physically painful to watch because she makes such a fool out of herself and I keep unintentionally catching it.

1. What is she a princess of?
I've only passed by the show, and haven't watched it, but wondered what kind of "royal" family this might be.

2. I guess her dad is like the nephew of the king of
Iran or something like that. They've said it in passing maybe once, or maybe I just don't watch enough. I don't know how she gets to be a princess if her dad is the *nephew* of a king.

Not my cup of tea, but enjoy anyway, I don't begrudge anyone their guilty pleasures.

9. I thought tean was a play on words.
But I see you edited it. Sorry, I'm exhausted. Everything looks different when you're tired. I think I'm off to bed.

:hi:

13. She said she was the niece of a "shah"
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 01:20 AM by rocknation
to a country and western record company she played her demo to.

I've watched enough of it to consider her a sadistic narcissist. But if she really is a princess, it could be that she's just so used to her slightest wishes being someone else's commands that she can't see the world in any other way.

Her only link to country music seems to be that it suits her singing style. We don't see her listening to or emulating other C&W artists (either amateurs or pros), seeing them perform live, reading music magazines, or spending more than five minutes on her songwriting. I imagine that even Los Angeles has a country and western "scene," but Anne Claire can't start at the bottom like everybody else because she'd miss her parents' "deadline."

So she breezes into Nashville in a stretch limo to keep her "appointments" at all the top record labels while her counterparts with far superior music have spent years literally starving themselves for that same opportunity. I think it's the most sociopathic of the reality shows because Ann Claire believes she can have love and success delivered to her as if they were pizzas.

14. Yeah, that about sums it up.
I did see her throw herself down in a park crying because of the ultimatum. I wanted to punch her, and I'm not a violent person. She is so disconnected from reality and what real problems are that I can't believe people like her actually exist. She should have my life for five minutes then she'd stop crying and get a good dose of humility....which would really serve her well at this point.

4. Jeez! Is this for real?
I live south of Nashville and have paid my dues trying to make it in the Biz.
If you got the bucks to pay the way, there are tons of producers and promo people and labels that will play along. It doesn't matter how terrible you are. Look at Lee Greenwood.

7. She did get in the door with a lot of the big label
producers but she didn't impress them once she was there. It's a shame because I'm sure there is so much undiscovered real talent out there that gets zero publicity and people with tons of money can bypass the system.

11. LOL! Oh, then this is all you babe!
What is it about other people thoroughly embarrassing themselves that makes us cringe and physically uncomfortable but unable to look away?

:shrug:

15. that show is sooo bad!
She's quite the stuck-up spoiled little brat. I don't know how her assistants survive her.
