One can’t help but admire the blatant nepotism prevalent in Hollywood…if one parent is famous, why shouldn’t the offspring follow suit? This brings us to David Hasselhoff’s daughters, who have embarked on a musical journey under the name Bella Vida, although their talent remains questionable.
Today on Lorraine, Taylor Ann, 21, and Hayley, 18, presented their new song Kiss Kiss Me Bang Bang, strutting around with microphones in hand…yet not actually performing live. They certainly seem to inherit a bit of their father’s talent, or lack thereof.
Wearing figure-hugging basques and their long hair flowing over their shoulders, their proud father David watched from the sidelines, gazing at them with admiration as he clapped along and tried to sing the lyrics.
The older sister Taylor Ann donned a white bodice reminiscent of Gaga’s style, complete with metal studs and lengthy black gloves, while younger sister Hayley sported a similar outfit in black, accessorizing with a white netted bustle.
It was evident that the duo weren’t actually singing live, as the music remained perfectly loud and in harmony whenever they moved the microphone away from their mouths.
Their track carries a noticeable Eurovision vibe, possibly indicating a target audience in Germany and Austria, where the former Baywatch star enjoys significant fame.
Last night, Taylor Ann expressed her thrill at the opportunity to perform on British television, tweeting, ‘Sleepy time:) up in 4 hours to take over Lorraine at 9 am to perform kiss kiss. yay so pumped!’
Thankfully, the rush of adrenaline helped the girls push through, rather than succumbing to their jet lag after landing at Heathrow yesterday, appearing somewhat less cheerful behind their sunglasses.
After their performance, they took photos outside the television studio with a beaming David, 59, who wore a T-shirt promoting their band.
The song’s title was boldly displayed on a large pair of pink lips, with the words ‘Available on iTunes now’ written just below in silver and punctuated with three exclamation marks for emphasis.
David Hasselhoff expressed on his website that he aims to support his daughters, stating, ‘It’s the dream of every parent to help their children succeed.’
‘I told the girls that I would help them open the door when they are ready, but they must walk through it on their own. This is their moment, and I am thrilled to be a part of it.’
