Little Jennie Pretends To Be A Rock Star
Filed under: Taylor Momsen
Here we go!
Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen really wants to be a singer (just like Leighton Meester)!
The tempestuous teen is in a band called "Pretty Reckless" and they played one of their first ever shows - if not the first ever show - Tuesday night in NYC.
Watch Momsen channel her inner Courtney Love above!
Thoughts????

She's got a decent voice and her musicians are good. They're writing pretty good songs considering the number of "musicians" in Hollywood these days who don't write their own songs.
She just needs to work on her stage presence.
But seriously…it's their first show?
Well done! I've seen worse.
I feel like she's trying to act older because her fellow Gossip Girl cast mates are in their 20's. She wants to be able to say she does her own thing besides Gossip Girl. Whatever, not great but not terrible. Kudos to her for not doing the same old lukewarm pop shit that everyone else does when they try to transition from actor to singer. At least she sings her own songs and doesn't get her voice computerized. She would be a lot better if she could reach some of those high notes though.
nO STAGE PRESENce- easily forgetable- like watching paint dry.
I like it!
i hate it when stupid little girls try to be 'cool', she might have a half decent voice but she looks like a scarecrow having a seizure
Wow. She is so good. I love her stage presence. She has such a Janis Joplin tone to her voice. I love how it sounds worn out but still really powerful and easy to listen to. Her general sound like in her musci is really cool. It's kinda punk rock or grunge rock. I love it! I always knew that girl had talent. WAAAAAY better than Leighton Meester.
haha it's just like the kind of band lil J would have
her music has more..personality? than leighton's but i would prefer to listen to leighton's singing over her
I thought she sounded pretty good, especially since its live. But her dancing and over acting was just cringey, seriously. If she toned it down on the dancing and maybe stretched her voice a bit so its not so similar in every song then she'd be amazing
i really like it,
I liked the last two, and she's actually pretty good. Better than Leighton, because she's the type of music I'm into and Leighton sounds too generic pop.
i think shes amazing. i love the last couple of songs. for 15 years old, im superrrr impressed.
i love it! she sounds awesome! just wish she didnt look so much like courtney love….that's just gonna stereotype here even more. but i love the songs and her voice is awesome!
She wasn't too bad. At least she has the guts and feels good enough about herself to do that. Although the faster songs weren't as good as that slower one she did.
I liked it.
i like the last one!
She has personality, that's great!
Just if she could skip/slow down all that things that are not very appropiate for her age…
Re: oooo00000lala – thank god!
she can actually sing watch how the Grinch stole Christmas.
Kinda like a younger, less experienced, watered-down version of Juliette and the Licks. She has a decent voice for this genre and the music's not bad… I think it's a lot better than most of the mainstream, manufactured crap out there.
that brought shame to the music world
sry tay its true tho ur voice is too low!
but i still luv u as jenny! we're willing 2 4get the singing stunt if u do
Re: shoppingdiva92 –
she's 15, i think
i know she's born in 93
i adore lil j.i think shes good and love her inner courtney.
It's NOT fucking 90's grunge. Not even close. 90's was great, this is awful poser shit. She'll never go far.
YOUNGER THEN MILEYYYYY AGH
she's not….BAD.
it's ok
idk, i like her though and i think….she's pretty?
duuude she sucked!
i heard leighton meester and she was fantastic but that? that was pretty bad.
her voice sounds like miley cyrus' on a mixed track, burn!
OOh. i love it.
I thought I'd hate this but I really don't! It's good!
EWWWW
HORRIBLE
She is actually pretty good. Totally my kind of music. I'd definitely buy her album.
Ive heard worse.
Shes not that horrible.
good effort little j
I used to love little Jenn, not I LOVE her! She's awesome! She has this Stevie Nicks thing to her voice that is rarely heard now and I think it is catchy as hell. I COMPLETELY disagree with anyone who says she can't sing, especially considering this is live footage. I wish I could figure out what the name of the song in the third video is because it is fantastic! I think people are quick to discredit tv stars as musicians, but this is MUCH better than her acting on GG. Way to go Little Jen, rock on!
i love it! i reckon this is awesome!! if they bring out an album, i'm definetly buying it
gotta love little J
really loving the first and third ones, fucking awesome
eh she is trying weay to hard to be like jenny's character leeigton can def sing waaay better
You can tell she takes after Joan Jett. And I kinda like it.
i think its good, she needs a little bit of lessons, but her voice is naturallly good. go taylorr!
um… okay? she has an okay voice but no stage presence. and the outift? dont even get me started…
shes got a man voice??
she scares me.
I like Leighton better
She has talent, but I think she's trying too hard. Also, she's only 14! too young to be singing about stuff she doesn't understand
Not ENTIRELY too bad…like, I see promise…especialyl in the second song featured.
i think she sounded pretty cool. very early 90's. good girl.
okay, i love this so much. little j could bring back grunge rock
screww haterss! this is awesomee!
This really sucks. She looks nice but not for the concert and she really can't sing! I think the band is allright without little J.
She tries too hard, and she screams too much.
I think Leighton is much better; besides, it's annoying how her and her character Jenny are the exact same now. I don't know who rebelled first, but it doesn't really matter.
I love "i f*cking love you!"
wow? im impressed. she was much better than i expected and i dont hate her rocker poser style thing as much as i used to! she has a kinda PJ harvey thing going on, voice and style. hard to believe shes only 15…???
most of you people going "omg i puked" are tools and were expecting something shitty like katy perry, drop dead
Re: ilovemileyyy –
HAHAHA
this is my favorite comment at a glance. ilovemileyy writes: what the fuck? that is just horrendous. sounds like a lawn mower ran over a dog.
ilovemileyy. lol?
1) she cant sing (although she could in the Grinch)
2) the music is terrible
3) WHAT IS SHE WEARING??
4) try hard much?
It sounds like your typical high school garage band lol
The voice is good, but her performance sux! She needs more stage presence!
