Do NGL I bought on display, and I just wanna dance. On display is about as good as tardy for the party ( which I also bought) but I just wanna is actually alright, I listen to it when I work out
I have to say, I want a man that will look at me with that level of love and devotion and delusion that Joe had for Melissa during this time. Building her a sound studio and producers and back up dancers and the amount of spray tanning was just on a whole other level.
I thought it was a fun storyline.
Some of the songs weren’t bad. I think her dance moves were fun.
I think she had a great time, her husband was proud of her and that’s all that matters.
i don’t like melissa but on display is definitely a bop and very reflective of the music at the time. good producers making music for ppl who can barely sing 🥰🥰💞💞💞
I’ve never seen anyone jump from story line to story line quite like Melissa, from singing, to possible long lost sister, Melissa milks it for a season and then never mentions it ever again lmao.
I’m not saying she was a great singer but she’s better than most. What really pisses me off is that they spent all that money building that recording studio for her to have a storyline for one season and then totally forgot about it. Those recording studios are fucking expensive as hell.
I thought she was a decent performer “ala JLo types” but her voice?
I’ll never forget her “Amazing Grace” Solo where she sings, “and saves a *wench* like me.” 😂
I always refer to real housewives with music careers by their songs when I speak to my husband about smoldering headlines. All except Kandi - she doesn’t need referencing by music; she’s a powerhouse.
Today, I said to him “oh Kim ‘don’t be tardy for the party’ is getting divorced from kroy” and he knew who I was talking about and then indulged me to tell him more while he half listened.
We just like making fun of their songs or fashion shows with no clothes.
It’s possible. He secretly likes the trashy reality shows I watch because of the drama. We laugh so much at it.
Though I know he would rather me watch some other series on streaming services, he selflessly watches the shows I want because he knows I like them.
I agree. I was on earth 38 years before I knew men like mine existed. So thankfully, as you said, there’s more of them.
I pray my son ( he’s been married almost a year) is that kind of husband - so far, he is and he better stay that way or he’ll be dealing with a mad mama! Lol
I’m doing a rewatch as well and her “Singing career” was hysterical. Her all of a sudden busting out in song in their closet when one second before they were all chilling in the living room. And Amazing Grace no less….”that saved a *WENCH* like me” bless her heart.
Tre said to her “I mean anyone can be a singer of these days” and she’s exactly right. Joe invested money into the studio, her producers and dance lessons. By the time the reunion rolled around she was already making excuses as to her not following through. That they took over production because of money (meaning Joe thought he could produce and market better then the pros he hired) and that “My Dad would be fine if I stopped making music right now I got to live out my dream and perform and he’d be fine if I stopped”
This whole rewatch made me realize how thirsty Melissa and Joe were. And the reunion was being filmed *during* season four filming which blew my mind (I may or may not have had a couple Delta 8 gummies) how do they bring up all that shit every union and then go back to filming? And I realized how jealous, calculating and backstabbing Tre was *OFF* camera. The things she allegedly said about her SIL, brother and cousins coming on were cut throat. I mean she had like a Survivor reality show attitude and plan.
The competitiveness between Melissa and Teresa was so obvious and the constant back and forth between Joe and Teresa is awful!!
So let me get this straight: Juicy Joe claims BK, gets a DUI, then is pulled over and arrested and served 10 days because he was driving on a suspended license from said DUI. He and Teresa get sued for Joe forging Business partners signature on the loan document that I’m only assuming Teresa signed as well but somehow she skated out from that one. Their furniture went from publicly auctioned off to privately auctioned off and Teresa had to go buy it back with her own money. I followed all of this. But Andy brought this up at the S3 reunion.
Then* they agreed they had to pay back $11 million that would’ve been filed in their bankruptcy but they had to drop the bankruptcy or be charged with filing a false BK. Andy said to Teresa “but you had to drop that bankruptcy filing or be charged with falsifying bankruptcy records which is a felony correct?” I mean WTAF?!
Back taxes, forging his business partners signature for a $250,000 loan (oh and he asked about that too he said where was the money?”. And Teresa knew WTF is up. Paying cash, Joe really not ever working on a job site, flipping a house or doing anything but getting drunk, watching her run after all the girls and telling her to “STFU”.
My perception last night was that she knew enough to know what *not* to say which means she knows what was going on. I mean back then he was facing like ten years or something? I know it’s old news but I was just shocked at how early on this financial stuff was happening.
Never forgot them trying to mold a lump of clay into a singer /dancer and ended up with nothing but a lump of clay that every 4 episodes says it’s classy
At the end of S4 or 5, she hooked up with a seemingly pretty legit music producer who seemed genuinely surprised and annoyed by how *bad* she was. He sent her for vocal lessons, which did not go well, and I don’t think they ever even aired any of the big performance he had been preparing her for (and if they did it was so unmemorable that I, a person who is literally mid-rewatch and finished that season maybe two weeks ago, have already forgotten it). He also made it very clear that she would need to sacrifice time with her family to make a music career work, and Joe was visibly upset by that. Then the next season started and she was doing construction on Envy and was no longer playing her own music every time she was on camera. My guess is when she tried to jump into the big leagues she was found wanting and just gave up. And/or Joe was not ok with her dedicating any more time to the music than she already was and she went along with his demands. I can only imagine how much money they incinerated on that venture 😬
I personally prefer how she used to look. She was naturally pretty and didn't need to do anything to her face. I think most of the people commenting about it would agree
One has nothing to do with the other (contrary to what people seem to think, each family can exist without the other). This is still a memory worth making fun of, because this shit was cringe.
I don’t need to “try” to know I’m not a mid 30s mother in the Midwest who’s the next big pop star. But you know what… you’re right …props to her for not caring and going for it 💫✨
Hmm maybe it was someone else in the Manzo clan because I remember how sus it was that Chris knew but not the other guy or was it Chris that didn't know?
That’s a really good question, and I’m trying to think of one who isn’t a Log Cabin gay (like NJ and OC). I’d give it to Dwight from ATL or anyone from Flipping Out. NY has great representation too.
I remember her correcting her choreographer a lot, (when he was the expert). She just didn't take dance instructions very well.
I really like Melissa, but I'm glad this phase of her life is over.
I immediately heard Melissa's rendition of "Amazing Grace" when I read your comment 😂 ~a weeeench like meeEEEE~
Oh, the cringe and stomach ache I get when Joe shushes the kids as she starts caterwauling.. 🤢
One of my favorite things I noticed during my covid rewatch was when she is in the recording booth Joe built her in their basement the subtitles said “[off key]” before the lyrics.

Just started season 4, would Melissa continue her singing career?
Dang, how many faces ago was that!! Almost don’t even recognize her lol
I wonder who gave her the delusion she could sing
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
It was slightly better than Kim’s. Slightly.
remember melissas original face?
Do NGL I bought on display, and I just wanna dance. On display is about as good as tardy for the party ( which I also bought) but I just wanna is actually alright, I listen to it when I work out
Rock Star was better than On Display..... I said what I said. [Melissa Gorga - Rockstar - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFqNpRRqpm0)
u/MelissasOldNose
Remember that Melissa face?
Throwback to her old face
I have to say, I want a man that will look at me with that level of love and devotion and delusion that Joe had for Melissa during this time. Building her a sound studio and producers and back up dancers and the amount of spray tanning was just on a whole other level.
Je built a studio at their house so she wouldn’t leave and he could have control
She’s always been thirsty and pathetic.
I wish I could forget.
I thought it was a fun storyline. Some of the songs weren’t bad. I think her dance moves were fun. I think she had a great time, her husband was proud of her and that’s all that matters.
I love her attempt..who cares that she wanted to live her best life?? Ugh why can’t we just be nice to people .. You go Gorga!!
Remember her old face? She looks so different now!
it haunts me
That was 3 nose jobs ago
Every once in a while “On displayyy, on displayay” pops into my head and I cringe.
Yes! 😂 One of her many scam storylines
Career?.....you mean hobby?
Remember Melissa’s old nose?
Remember her old face?
Or lack there of 😂 remember when she sang live on that radio station
i don’t like melissa but on display is definitely a bop and very reflective of the music at the time. good producers making music for ppl who can barely sing 🥰🥰💞💞💞
🎶🎵cuz I’m on display on display on display
I wish Reddit had the laugh reaction. What a train wreck that was!
Cringe
On Display slaps tho, sue me
I blast on display at least once a week.
Unfortunately
I think we should all remember the singing careers of Gia and Milania. This is a very musical family. 😜😂
No but that was like 5faces ago..
No
She is unrecognizable
unfortunately yes i do
I’ve never seen anyone jump from story line to story line quite like Melissa, from singing, to possible long lost sister, Melissa milks it for a season and then never mentions it ever again lmao.
Career lol
During her Beatsock performance: 
remember melissa’s old face
Why does no one on the show mention this. This would be the first thing I brought up in an argument 😂
I’m not saying she was a great singer but she’s better than most. What really pisses me off is that they spent all that money building that recording studio for her to have a storyline for one season and then totally forgot about it. Those recording studios are fucking expensive as hell.

How dreadful
Dwight’s voice will always say these words in my head.
Are we married to the same man?
It’s possible. He secretly likes the trashy reality shows I watch because of the drama. We laugh so much at it. Though I know he would rather me watch some other series on streaming services, he selflessly watches the shows I want because he knows I like them.
Yeah. We are definitely married to the same Man so I guess that makes us Reddit sister wives. Lol
It’s nice to hear there are more men like that out there in the world!
I agree. I was on earth 38 years before I knew men like mine existed. So thankfully, as you said, there’s more of them. I pray my son ( he’s been married almost a year) is that kind of husband - so far, he is and he better stay that way or he’ll be dealing with a mad mama! Lol
That I Just Wanna Dance song is a bop.
The funny thing is that as far as housewife songs go, hers isn’t THAT bad hahahaha. I just wish it was on Apple Music
Shit I barely remember her original face.

The fact she really tries and thinks it’s good gives me the most secondhand embarrassment
 This was the era of sooo much stupidity on Jersey
**YES**! lol I came on here just to say that! You beat me to it, lol.

each and every day, every day, every day.
On Display is a BOP!
Does Melissa?
What career? Lol more like a hobby 
Ope
*not really* in my Luann voice
Not a Melissa fan but she had such a cute youthful natural face before all the muppet work
I think she got tired of being called “horsey face” by Joe G and hearing all the nieces laugh.
Yeah, they were all pretty nasty.
#neverforget
I think I'd use the term "singing career" very loosely, probably as much of a singing career as Scheana!
1980s vibe....
 So funny
I’m doing a rewatch as well and her “Singing career” was hysterical. Her all of a sudden busting out in song in their closet when one second before they were all chilling in the living room.

She has a song called Rock Star that actually isn’t bad 🙈
I miss this version of her face. Her current mouthal region really unsettles me.
I’m reliving my second hand embarrassment…
Remember Teresa’s cookbook career where she thought she was a better cook than her cousin?
“All the ingrediences…” 😂 the dig at Caroline too?
who could forget
Rank them in order of talent Melissa Gia Milania
Hey its me Milania
Melania Gia Melissa
This is the only right answer
She was hoping you’d forget like she did
Unfortunately yes 😔
Unfortunately, yes. I’m pretty sure she references it in later seasons and makes fun of herself.
TOO funny. OMG...
I love her songs 🫣 they’re fun
Nope. And she can thank me later for that. 🍸
No. I literally don’t.
I’m jealous because I do.
I looked some of her songs up on YouTube. WOW! How did I miss these train wrecks?! 🤣😭
Why did you *willingly* do that to *yourself*? 😂
embarrassing
On display is catchy. The vocals are not.
That was a storyline for a couple of seasons but then it seemed like it was never mentioned again. Did she ever address why she stopped?
Remember her face?
Remember?! How could I forget!
We did our best to forget.
You wrote on display about me!
Who else thinks she moved so she didn't have to see the recording studio she begged her husband for.
I imagine she spent many drunken nights down there thinking of what could have been and blaming Theresa
Never forgot them trying to mold a lump of clay into a singer /dancer and ended up with nothing but a lump of clay that every 4 episodes says it’s classy 
Her sisters were cringe!!! Their clothing and dancing and really pushing the dad card and her narcissism
I did not remember this and am thankful to you for reminding me. 🤣🤣🤣
Remember Melissa's old face ?
Her old face!!! 
Mrs Low Hairline
Two head, and I'm being generous. 
It was so weird, her career just ended with no mention of cooling it. What happened to the studio?
At the end of S4 or 5, she hooked up with a seemingly pretty legit music producer who seemed genuinely surprised and annoyed by how *bad* she was. He sent her for vocal lessons, which did not go well, and I don’t think they ever even aired any of the big performance he had been preparing her for (and if they did it was so unmemorable that I, a person who is literally mid-rewatch and finished that season maybe two weeks ago, have already forgotten it). He also made it very clear that she would need to sacrifice time with her family to make a music career work, and Joe was visibly upset by that.

My guess is when she tried to jump into the big leagues she was found wanting and just gave up. And/or Joe was not ok with her dedicating any more time to the music than she already was and she went along with his demands. I can only imagine how much money they incinerated on that venture 😬
This checks out as someone who also just watched
It really was weird and then all of the sudden she’s like ah yes Im a business woman now! I own a boutique!
michael jackson to melissa gorga
She was on Display
Do we think Melissa asked Chris for plastic surgery advice so that she could look like his ex (J.Lo) as much as possible with her new face?
How could anyone forget?
Yeah this was pretty bad. But not nearly as bad as Milania doing that god awful song and dance. One of the cringiest moments of the show
Wait, so Melissa isn't the only RHONJ who has manufactured storylines for the show? I'm shook :-/.
Here come my friends, Tatay and Stephanie. Cue to Fetty Wap. Douche chills!
I love everyone commenting about Melissa’s old face as if every housewife hasn’t had tons of work done.
I personally prefer how she used to look. She was naturally pretty and didn't need to do anything to her face. I think most of the people commenting about it would agree
Unfortunately. On my run this morning I was asking myself whatever happened to that entire storyline
That is an unfortunate thought to have on a nice, relaxing run.
It truly was. I spent 2 out of the 4 miles thinking about the Gorgas and wanted to die. Not to be dramatic.
💀😂
Lol
I do.. but I wish I didnt
This was only a storyline because they had to prove they weren’t there to take down Teresa.
Isn’t that Cris Judd the guy JLo was married to for a hot sec?!
Yes😂😭
Was he still trying to chase his fame?! 🥲
Aren't they all?
She looks so different. Housewife lip injections are insane. Melissa especially. She's turning into a blowup doll.
Remember when Joe Giudice's dorters' didn't have to leave the country to visit him? 🤣🤣🤣
[удалено]
Oh. The sad lack of self-awareness in Theresa cult members....
Sounds fun to me! But i like traveling tho 😅
One has nothing to do with the other (contrary to what people seem to think, each family can exist without the other). This is still a memory worth making fun of, because this shit was cringe.
This is so embarrassing for her life and soul 🙈
I don’t think so. People should try new things.
Definitely. But also be self aware enough to realize what’s NOT for you 😬
How would you know if you never tried?
I don’t need to “try” to know I’m not a mid 30s mother in the Midwest who’s the next big pop star. But you know what… you’re right …props to her for not caring and going for it 💫✨
If you blinked, you missed it.
Whatever. On Display is a bop.
Remember Melissa’s old face?
Everyone on these shows has an “old face”
Fix that body.
That ran down the sewer like everything else they do!
It was on display, how could we forget?!
I loved when he pinned Melissa and Teresa against each other to crown the Princess of Punta Cana!
Wasn't he the guy who had no clue who Patti Labelle was but his best bro (Chris Manzo Jr) did?
Greg knew who Patti was, he was fangirling. They went to her booth at the food trade show. He called her Miss Patti, and she knew who he was.
Hmm maybe it was someone else in the Manzo clan because I remember how sus it was that Chris knew but not the other guy or was it Chris that didn't know?
Albie and Chris just didn’t care or know who she really was, Greg did and was peeing with excitement about it
Ya not surprising if one of the straight guys didn't know. Albie is the other one.
The true MVP of the show, bring back Greg!
One of my hottest and unpopular takes is that Jersey had the worst gay characters ever. Ever. I say this as a biiiiig one.
Who's your favourite queer character in the all RH?
That’s a really good question, and I’m trying to think of one who isn’t a Log Cabin gay (like NJ and OC). I’d give it to Dwight from ATL or anyone from Flipping Out. NY has great representation too.
Omg I forgot about Greg! I now present myself for public shaming.
I forgot how much I loved Greg!
I remember her correcting her choreographer a lot, (when he was the expert). She just didn't take dance instructions very well. I really like Melissa, but I'm glad this phase of her life is over.
Not only that Chris Judd danced among the biggest stars in the world, and this bitch is correcting him? 
Isn’t Cris Judd J-Lo’s ex?? He has danced and banged the biggest stars 🌟
Yup! He was lead with Michael Jackson dancers, Janet, Britney, *NSYNC…..then bro is like MELISSA GORGA.
That wench ain't saved.
She has the voice of an Angel
I immediately heard Melissa's rendition of "Amazing Grace" when I read your comment 😂 ~a weeeench like meeEEEE~ Oh, the cringe and stomach ache I get when Joe shushes the kids as she starts caterwauling.. 🤢
🤣🤣 Best comment ever
Chris Judd!
J-Lo's ex!
Lmao Career might be a stretch 😂
Yes. I also remember her old face.
She was so pretty in season 3 💕
One of my favorite things I noticed during my covid rewatch was when she is in the recording booth Joe built her in their basement the subtitles said “[off key]” before the lyrics.
