'Sue her': Internet mocks ‘RHOBH’ star Erika Jayne after singer Amber accuses reality star of ‘dramatic’ lip-syncing on stage
NEVADA, LAS VEGAS: Amber, a singer famous in the '90s, expressed her frustration with 'RHOBH' star and singer Erika Jayne, accusing her of lip-syncing to her songs during a live performance.
Amber lashed out, questioning Erika's audacity to mimic her vocals on stage.
In a candid revelation, Amber admitted she initially had no clue who Erika Jayne was but upon learning that Erika was also a singer, she criticized the practice of lip-syncing.
Amber emphasized the importance of credibility, suggesting Erika should contribute her own vocals to a song rather than relying solely on lip-syncing.
Taking to her Instagram account to attack the reality star, Amber said, "So...today I was sent this clip dancedivaamber • Original audio here...and just like Karin Kasar from the Real McCoy had the nerve to lip sync to my track and original vocals, when she was on the road with them and act like it was all her, so does this one apparently."
Amber added, "@theprettymess... at first, I thought it was a dr** queen... you know..where men dress up as women and give a dramatic lip sync and people know and understand it as a clear art form and not being the actual real artist of the song and I can respect that, as I see that as an appreciation for the artist from the LGBTQIA+ community... after a little research however, it turns out, she was on one of these 'housewives' reality shows."
"No wonder I do not know her, as I do not watch that kind of stuff. Then, I was told that she supposedly also is a singer with her own dance records...ok..." she continued.
"Why are you not taking out a mechanical license and just set up a little produced track yourself and add YOUR OWN vocals on it and then lip sync the hell out of it (if you must lip sync, otherwise go live, girl!) without having to act like my vocals are all yours," Amber wrote.
"Never, in a million years, as a self proclaimed performing artist, would I even come up with the thought of lip syncing to a track and a vocal of another artist (on a paid show on top), unless that is all I do and all people know me clearly for, as a dr** queen," Amber concluded.
Internet also echoed Amber's emotions and mocked Erica Jayne for lip-syncing.
"Who pays for that show is what I'm wondering?" a user said on Instagram.
"I just dont get why Erika is putting on shows getting a vegas residency just to be lip singing other peoples music??? Did she pay for this vegas thing how do you get one? I thought it was for legitimate performers?" asked a user.
"Anyone who would go to Erika Jayne's cabaret show would know that she is not the original artist on that song," added one.
"Sue her!" quipped one.
"IDK who Amber is but she is not wrong. Her career was bought with the money of Tom's victims," said a user.
"You people who think because Erica is more well known she should be entitled to take whoever's music and use it to her benefit are messed up in the head," said another user.
"She ain't wrong, but she ain't relevant either. When's the last time anyone has heard from Amber the one hit wonder? Also, it sounds like Erika has her own vocals on it whether she is lip syncing or not," commented the user.
"Are we even surprised about this? We all know she can't sing and her music career was put up by the money that belongs to Tom's victims," wrote one user.
"Erika sucks (at) everything," wrote another.

Erika Jayne gets inspiration from personal ‘disasters’ for her songs
Erika Jayne draws inspiration for her upcoming music from the challenging experiences of the past few years, notably her divorce from her estranged husband Tom Girardi.
The adversity includes Tom's declining health and legal turmoil surrounding allegations of fraud and embezzlement tied to an airplane crash settlement.
Reflecting on the tumultuous period, Jayne remarked, "I think the last two years have been the inspiration. If you can't get inspired by that disaster, you should probably quit, as per E! News.
In November 2020, after 21 years of marriage, Jayne filed for divorce from Tom Girardi, departing a month before the couple faced legal challenges for alleged embezzlement.
