Farrah Abraham to Holly Hagan: Celebrities who’ve tried – and failed – to become pop stars

These days, it seems celebrities think being on a reality TV show makes them qualified to release music. The following wannabes are proof that this is not true.

Farrah Abraham

After finding fame on 16 And Pregnant, Farrah released a memoir and an album - before turning to porn films.

Her album was described by The Guardian as: "The weirdest record you've heard this year. A truly bizarre mix of generic Guetta-pop beats, drilling sounds and Abraham's abrasive, auto tuned vocals."

Kim Kardashian

Before she married Kanye West and made it to A-list status, Kim attempted to crack the music industry.

Her debut, and only, single Jam (Turn It Up) is as bad as you'd expect it to be. Unsurprisingly, Kim didn't win any Grammys for her contribution to music.

Paris Hilton

Socialite and heiress Paris has tried her hand at pretty much everything, so when she released her debut album in 2006 - nobody was surprised.

What was surprising though, was how much we liked some of her songs. Stars Are Blind and Nothing In This World are actually pretty decent pop songs. Don't judge us until you've listened!

Jasmin Walia

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Jasmin auditioned for The X Factor last year - and it didn't go very well.

Despite the fact her audition was actually quite good, Simon and the rest of the judges weren't impressed and she didn't make it through.

Jessica Wright

During the first series of TOWIE, Jessica and her band LOLA were trying to make it.

But she soon went solo and released a few semi-successful dance tracks. Come With Me is our favourite. We especially love the scene in the music video, where Jess seductively applies some lip gloss - despite the fact she's already wearing some.

Bianca Gascoigne

Bianca is another reality TV starlet who has tried - and failed - to impress the X Factor judges.

The former Celebrity Love Island contestant did not get a good response to her audition, and has thankfully put her musical dreams behind her.

Katie Price

Katie Has made several attempts at becoming a pop star, which haven't really gone to plan.

After a cringeworthy go at representing the UK in Eurovision, she and ex-husband Peter Andre released an album of love songs.

Then, following their divorce, Katie released a new single titled Free To Love Again. See her performing it here.

Chanelle Hayes

After stealing the nations' hearts on Big Brother, Chanelle released I Want It - accompanied by a very sexy music video.

Speaking about the video last year, Chanelle said: "It's like soft porn, it's traumatising really."

Holly Hagan

Not content with making money off the back of losing weight, Holly Hagan decided to absolutely murder a Kelis classic.

Her cover of Milkshake - and the subsequent music video - is bizarre, to say the least. And totally unnecessary, if we're being brutally honest.
