yourmomiseasy January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 I could see her doing a lot better on Lip Sync Battle than she did on Dancing with the Stars. It seems more suited to her type of performing. 10 Link to comment

I also think the Jayne persona lacks all joy - her schtick is calculated and measured and dry-as-sand. She's no happy (public) vulgarian, glorying in boundary-breaking (frex Mae West) she's a sad little mouse of a thing desperate for attention. And her "act" lacks any mental energy (which this kind of performance needs, imo, to not feel like a late afternoon shift at Scores). She's all tit, no wit. I am sorry but with that ugly pink eye shadow she looks like she has a really bad case of pink eye 4 Link to comment

grisgris January 29, 2018 Share January 29, 2018 IKR? I was expecting EG-J to pull out all the stops with costumes, dancers, etc. That was about as tame and lame as you could get from her. Thumbs down! (I'm assuming the man won? Anybody know for certain?) 5 Link to comment
yourmomiseasy January 30, 2018 Share January 30, 2018 I feel like she puts more effort into her talking head "moments" than she did that. It was really underwhelming. 4 Link to comment
ParadoxLost January 30, 2018 Share January 30, 2018 I think that since it was a tribute to Christina Aguilera and she was present that there was likely not a lot of leeway in the performance either because Erika was considering that or because the show put limits on it to respect or guarantee Agilera's participation in the episode. I turned it off when it became clear they wouldn't be doing an encore of Stephen Merchant's "Dirty" 4 Link to comment

Primal Slayer January 30, 2018 Share January 30, 2018 For the most part I was let down by Erikas perfromance but I still think she should've won. Taye Diggs did nothing special short of dressing up in "drag". But Fighter is not a song that you just perform regularly, that should've been the show stopper. She should've gone all out for that one. 1 Link to comment

She also has a beautiful voice and writes lyrics and or music. Most singers "perform", especially now days, meaning that they do an act on stage while they sing but not all "performers" can really sing without autotune/write songs. I will say this though, Erika is the best, vocally, of all the HWs that have recorded songs, by far the best, and requires the least amount of vocal enhancement. LOL Link to comment

She does sound pleasant and knows how to use her voice, but a great vocalist she ain't. I don't think Madonna has a particularly beautiful or strong voice. She's pretty vocally limited. Although, dance talent wise she probably surpasses Erika because Madonna got a scholarship for the University of Michigan dance program. What Madonna has all over Erika is hard work, ambition, and style (specifically the ability to impressed enough with others to allow them to influence her in some way). Erika has completely allowed Mikey to dictate her style because it's kind of clear there is nothing really there motivating her style choices. Also Madonna would never have sat around until the rich dick she was hooked up with finally decided it was cool for her to have a career. I'm trying to think of who Erika is comparable to. Erika is Carlos Leon. Madonna is comparable to Tom. Erika is this Carlos Leon of their relationship. 9 Link to comment

Or being the greatest dancer? Or being an amazing lyricist? No, but she's smart, ambitious, and hardworking. These are traits that have led her to great success. Tom isn't the greatest legal mind of his generation. Nor is he thought to be a silver tongued litigator without compare. He's hardworking and successful. Carlos wasn't doing anything of real note before Madonna. Carlos Leon was a trainer of no real note and a wannabe actor when he hooked up with Madonna. Afterwards, he's been able to carve out a decent little acting career and raise his profile as a trainer. I don't know if it's because of his raised profile from being with Madonna, any maintenance or child support money she's given him that have allowed him to pursue acting, use of Madonna's connections, or if she's called in some favors, but his acting career took off after they got together. Except for how Erika had to wait a decade, Erika had a pretty unremarkable career before Tom too. Both relationships come across as highly transactional.

zoeysmom February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 I think Erika is far more realistic about her career, how she got there and how it she keeps it going than a lot of her fans. Most people have never heard of Erika Jayne and her eight number one hits until RHOBH. She takes pretty much anything that comes down the pike and seems to have developed a sense a humor about her persona and humble beginnings. Now if her fans could just get a grip. I was watching CBS Sunday Morning this week and they did a segment on Marilyn Maye. I thought how great she is still performing at 90 years old and she can really sing-not Erika Jayne sing but sing. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/marilyn-maye-proudly-old-school/ I think as long as Erika enjoys entertaining she will have an audience. Oh and Marilyn Maye was on the "Tonight Show with Johnny Carson", over 70 times. 5 Link to comment
