We initially thought reality-TV-star-turned-budding-pop-diva Kim Kardashian’s Dream-produced single was called “Turn It Up,” but it turns out the jam is called, er, “Jam.” Ryan Seacrest premiered it on his KIIS-FM Los Angeles show this morning. And you can hear it below!
Kardashian, just one of the many women linked to Justin Bieber in the past, initially premiered “Jam” at Tao nightclub in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve. “The whole crowd, not even knowing the words, they were like singing along at the end and it was really crazy,” Kim told Ryan Seacrest this morning.
She was accompanied to the studio by her sister Kourtney because, as Seacrest stated, Kim was visibly nervous. “I think it’s only normal for me to be nervous,” she said on air. “I’m human. I’ve never sang before. This is definitely something that I don’t do.”
Well, let’s see if Kim has anything to be nervous about…
[wpaudio url="http://cdn.idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Kim-Kardashian-Ft-The-Dream-Jam-Turn-It-Up-Official-Single.mp3" text="Kim Kardashian - Jam" dl="0"]Kardashian was definitely in able hands—last year we included The-Dream in our list of The 8 Producers Who Made 2010 Go Pop for his work on Justin Bieber’s “Baby.” (He also co-produced Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” and Rihanna’s “Umbrella.”)
“Feelin’ good, feelin’ great and they playin’ my jam… Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, DJ,” Kim repeats over and over (and over) again in the chorus to “Jam.”
In its radio edit form, the tune is definitely way more of a dancefloor-ready club banger than fellow socialite Paris Hilton’s debut single “Stars Are Blind” was five years ago. It probably won’t be revolutionizing modern music anytime soon, but “Jam” is at least good for a few shakes under the strobe light.
“Jam” hits iTunes today (with a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the song being donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital).
Let us know below if you think Kim Kardashian has what it takes to join the pop ranks.
sucks.
She’s hot. Song’s not.
I’d love to hear her sing live. Hahahahahaha. This song has so obviously been mixed and editied and tweaked and changed just to get something that sounds decent.
She sounds like she’s just speaking unenthusiastically while they surround her with synths and bleeps and bloops. She should have done a few jumping jacks before going to the studio to wake herself up.
it isnt good she isnt ready to be a pop star she needs more practice she should have done something softer
I was at that New Years Eve party. I thinks she mistakened people singing along to “WTF! Why did she stop the party to make us listen to this lame ass song?” She needs less avenues to show her lack of talent.
Yuck.
I love Kim K. but this song stinks.
Ryan Seacrest at the end is soooooo fake….”I’m gonna play it again!” OK Seacrest…LAME! If he thinks that song is so great, then he’s a sh*tty DJ! Kim is gorgeous…..the song is not. Sorry Kimbo….stick to what you do best…everything BUT music!
…..and how could we forget….her fellow NON-singer friends, Paris and Lindsey both tried to work this same avenue with their stupid songs….and neither worked!!!!!!
THIS IS THE WORST SONG EVER!!!
I UNDERSTAND WHY SHE WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE INSIDE SHE KNOWS IT SUCKS AND SHE PROBABLY IS ASHAMED!
Stick to being a bimbo and posing for playboy – - don’t do music – - ’cause you’re the worst! And Ryan Seacrest is a liar – - he doesn’t like the song and is just trying to be nice….
she sound so bored that i’m not sure she’s trying to making the party dance or sleep.
God this is awful.
She sounds SO emotionless its painful.
I cant come to believe thats her true voice. This seems as edited as Ke$ha is. : /. So either she is not a good singer at all, and shes just trying to get herself more attention, or the producer of this song is tone-deaf. I can’t believe Kim allowed this to get out.
Singing isn’t for you , Kim.
not a bad dance song at all!!! come on people stop hating. As for some dumb person saying she is a bimbo well if her family and her make 65 million in 2010, i wanna be a bimbo too then…………………….. HATERS
Am I the only one who thinks this would be more tolerable if Cassie sang it? Idk, just sounds like something she would sing…
I think the song is great considering she mainly did it for charity. She herself stated singing is not something she does and knows she won’t make this her new career. She has a great heart and the song is fun!
I actually like it. I dont see why people are making such a big deal over it. As long as it’s something you can dance to, why do you care how much autotune it has? Grow up, hoes.
THIS PIECE IS LOW CARBON FOOT PRINT, THREE NOTES ABOVE AND BELOW MIDDLE “C” AND TONE CORRECTED (NO EXTRA TAKES) A CARBOARD BOX AND WOODEN SPOON FOR TIMPANY, AND WILL EMBRACE A NEW DEMOGRAPHIC AGE GROUP, 4 -13 CLUBERS AND WILL ALSO GET PLAY TIME ON “EASY” LISTENING. OH MY, BORN 60 YEARS TOO SOON, I CURSE MY PARENTS.
THIS IS CRAP….i cant believe this is out there. This is an embarrassment for all the true artist and the music industry. The whole St. Judes donation is just a prank to get people to buy her single. Your better off donating the complete 99 cents to Saint judes and not only a portion of it. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
Pobresita. Sad part is, they told her it was good. I feel bad for her.
She really has no talent. She can’t dance (anyone who saw her on “Dancing with the Stars knows that), and she definitely can’t sing. never seen her act, but I’m pretty sure she can’t do that either. I feel bad for her, though, people probably told her she was good…
with all the people out there trying to make it in the music biz, this crap is an insult.
Lori Sanchez – you hit the nail on the head!!!!!! I could not agree more!!!! You basically said everything that I was thinking. Yes…..IT IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. I have to give Kim K and her family kudos for raking in 65 million for the 2010 year!! She should stick to the modeling gigs – she is very pretty…I will give her that ……..- a singer..not in this lifetime. Everyone knows she cannot sing or act –
Kim……just stick w/ the modeling gigs and the sex tapes…..don’t try and stray from what you do best. Her friend Ciara is great in the singing department…Kim was and is horrible at singing.

I can’t stand her because she’s so fake and lame. Now the whole world can see how talentless she is! She’s too overexposed with no real talent except for showing her fat ass in sex tapes and Playboy. I couldn’t even listen to the entire song because it was that BAD!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!! Her mom is a pimp and Kim well you know the rest. Her 15 minutes of fame is running out quick!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!
YOUR MUSIC SUXXX KIM!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR SHOWING THE WORLD HOW TALENTLESS YOU ARE!!!!!!! :)
I LOVE DAMIEON GENTRY!! and i agree with you :)
I LOVE JESSIE RUSSELL AND DAMIEON GENTRY!! and i agree with damieon too
This is horrible. I think if you really want to donate to st. judes, then donate to them directly. it sounds like that whole donation deal is just a publicity stunt for her to get people to buy her horrible album. Sorry..don’t like it at all. Stick with your reality show Kim.
f*** all yu hating on kimmy wish you could be in her position living the life shes living well stick to your hate posts since thats all you lame assssss seem to know how to do
I can produce the song much better and get a much better perforamnce out of her.
WORST SONG EVERY! PLEASE STOP SINGING! U SOUND LIKE YOU ARE SINGING WITH A COLD!
This song totally SUCKS! Kim, you are not going to donate any of the money to charity this is just a ploy to get people to buy your lame ass song. Are you so delusional that you think you could ever sing, clearly you are not a vocalist, just keep doing sex tapes well those are getting boring too, but stay away from thinking you could ever have a music career.
kims new song is just beyond horrible, shes not even singing, shes talking, the song is just fixed with auto tunes to make it sound decent, and come on really like you couldnt come up with better lyrics, typical girl song about wanting to go out and have fun. stick to what you know kim k!!
a.c.a
Ugh! She will do anything to keep in the limelight. I am so tired of these reality stars saying “music has always been a dream of mine – yet they do nothing to prove it, I don’t think voice lessons would help her. I agree that Kim is sooooooo fake and lame but you left out liar!
I bet half of the people who have comments bellow are ignorant hater of Kim, regarldless of the new single.
I think people are being so mellodramtic, she did it for fun; which she clearly stated. Get over it and stop criticising as if she is actually trying to be the next big thing… she knows that she couldn’t be, she informed us she couldn’t, get over it.
…personally, I like the song, I couldn’t see it being #1. But what the heck?
Britney, Cassie, Ke$ha and lots of other pop artist of this century get away with autotune and worse songs, and they’re actual recording artist with expectations. So why can’t Kim Kardashian?
Sorry for ranting everyone, but I’m slightly annoyed at the unnecessary hate- I love the Kardashians.
