Her voice is perfect for this
That voice is pitch corrected beyond belief. You aren’t hearing her voice at all but a voice created by a clever person in a studio
The talent is differently there
yes except for the fact the voice was enhanced quite a bit :)
Except for the fact that she can’t belt. 🙃
@@nancynaur5988 or sing
Why has no one done a spoof with Harley Quinn to the tune of Roxie?
Ooooh Harley as Roxie Hart and Poison Ivy as Velma Kelly. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Friggin brilliant idea, 😍😍
@@erikitty96 for real tho!
To obvious
I want the younger generation to know that you prepare your entire life to be asked to star in Chicago. She nailed her performance on opening night with NO Broadway experience. This is true talent.
Why does she sound so shitty in this clip then?
🤦🏻♀️
She was great in NYC broadway too
If you really wanna talk true talent, look at some of the actors in Wicked. Some of their longest running cast members playing the role on and off for 14 years, Erika couldn’t handle proper broadway stint if she tried.
@@srutiagnihotri9532 No the show is called Chicago, it was in NYC.
Does anyone else see the iron in Erika playing Roxy Hart?.. karma has a sense of humor.
No, Roxie was a ruthless, soulless opportunist who would hurt anyone to get what she wants and Erika is...ohhh.
You guys are gross and awful people truly
@@DavidMichaelCommer 😂😂😂🙌🏻
I want a side by side with Rinna's Roxie
Everytime i here this song I think of the SNL version kellyanne
rawrbro69 Same!
"that´s show biz, kid. " perfectly sums up stunt casting lol
Everybody thought she was casted for her "talent"
she was just brought in to drag on the audience from her show
Shame she took someone's spot that actually deserved it
Chicago is well known for this. And it really fits the show. If that’s what it takes to keep Chicago running I’m all for it!
She IS Roxy Hart! I think you’re too quick to judge! Yes, she is there to put butts in seats based on who she is but she is a singer, dancer, blond bombshell who will do what it takes for fortune and fame! I think it’s unfair to imply she didn’t earn this part.
@@sarahfuller5482 it's obvious she bought the part
I just saw Chicago last week, and I didn't have a clue who she was. She does ok, but I thought her voice wasn't as good as the other main characters, and she held her own with the dancing. Her acting was fine, but she didn't have the vulnerability of Roxie. The show stealers for me were Amra-Faye Wright as Velma, R.Lowe as Mary Sunshine, NaTasha Yvette Williams as "mama", and Raymond Bokhour as Amos. All of the ensemble were amazing, and I would cast any one of those females as Roxie before Erika Jayne. Just my unprofessional opinion, no haters please :)
Mairi Sim So perhaps Erika could have made a better Velma?
@@ttp436 Not particularly.
I don’t get why they cast these reality housewives they are terrible. Cast a struggling actress who can sing dance and act.
haneulk7789
That’s a shame
mary d it is true because it is a dime a dozen and to give it to someone that already has fame and fortune is kind of sad for those struggling artists out there who are highly skilled. Not saying she isn’t good but there are tons of incredible triple threats out there needing a big break
I hope it was all worth it lol 😂
What a dream to be a part of a Fosse musical!
Yes, but a nightmare for the audience.
I don't know much about her. (I don't watch the show she's involved in.) She is entertaining. Her voice is interesting and not bad. How that translates to the stage remains to be seen. Some people ;may scoff at unconventional casting, but the producers have to be creative in finding individuals who can bring the people in. I'd want to see her, given the chance. I'm a long time fan of the show, since 2011.
Well, I guess her career is over... Well, maybe Cell Block Tango as an encor.
"DAMN IT'S EXPENSIVE TO BE MEEEEEEEEEEE!" I LOVE THIS WOMAN! IT'S KILLING ME I MISSED THIS!!
This didn't age well.
Love me some Erika Jayne, but honestly she was horrible. Definitely the worst Roxie I've seen and I've seen a lot of them. Chicago has been running for so long, they need big names to get butts in the seats and they've done the same things with the Billy Flynn character too over the years (don't get me started on that). I've seen some bad ones before, but this was pretty bad. She needs to stick to what she does well. I salute her for being brave enough to give it a go, but Broadway's just not her thing..
She is auto tuned in this video. She has no vibrato and can’t hit the high notes. There is audio of her singing it live on TH-cam. She is not a singer.
💯
She never claimed to be a great singer. I think she just like to piss her "haters" off and what better way to do that than to be in a Broadway show even if it's "off Broadway ". She's entertaining and that's showbiz...kid!
I think Fosse and Verdon are rolling over in their graves....
Are erika and her husband in jail for fraud yet?
Yes it’s expensive to be Erika Jayne- at the expense of TG’s needy clients 😡
She is beautiful, and she tries really hard but she is very stiff in her movements and not fluid and impactful at all. It almost seems like they are just doing the best she can not the usual standards per se. She doesn’t seem natural in her performance.
She's not a Broadway actress/dancer. Have you ever watched any of her music videos? She is a lot more relaxed, but that is her wheelhouse. The movements for Roxie are very "Broadway" and I think that may be the issue.
@@barbarabueno81 We all know she is not a broadway dancer. So if you are on broadway and you are a dancing character what does that make you ... I get it is her first show but I am saying the standards for broadway are not met by her but she is still there. I appreciate her hard work and her progression in her career but that does not mean I don't see her limitations ( at least my opinion )???
SuperSunrise5
Many reviews say the same thing. Too stiff. Can’t keep up with the flow to the end, etc. Stunt casting.
She did a great job! She was smooth with it, love it!
Kristy Suzy rennee ty berndt
LOOK AT MY LIFE!!
No one could be better than Rene Zellweger!
Who ever directed and approved this for release should be fired. Erika looks so stiff from 0:48. :(
Better than her music video performances fortunately.
Gosh she is awful not for broadway. I don’t know why they just letting anybody take to the stage. She needs a lot of vocal lessons and her movements are stiff. This could of been a opportunity for someone who actually deserves it.
She paid
wow. was not ready for this. HORRID
She got her wish, the name on everybody’s lips is ERIKA, just not for this performance 🤣🤣
Wow..she did amazing
I’ve seen Chicago twice, in mid 2000s it was amazing. The second one was with Erika Jayne in 2019. I didn’t know she was in it and throughout the performance I felt like it was off and just not as good. When Velma performed I got goosebumps. When Roxie performed I was underwhelmed. Afterwords I saw Erika Jayne on Wendy Williams talking about her performance and it made sense. Her voice is fine but not good enough for Broadway. Sadly this is one of many situations of Broadway shows choosing a person with a known name to preform on Broadway, too often those performances are lack luster. Just because some can sing doesn’t make them good enough for Broadway. It’s sad how much standards have gone down. Now I know to research the cast.
I can’t with the whole “people go their whole lives and then someone rich…” y’all need to stop going to college for theater degrees. Broadway is a monarchy and if you don’t have an in it’s not happening for you. Move along.
Christina Aguilera would have been perfect for this!
Beyond amazing - who'd 'a thunk!
Little ATL gal makes good and becomes Broadway star - xx
Actually she’s an ice queen
After 1 year in jail can imagine what this 50 year old wold really look like.? I can only imagine
Are they running out of real actors?
I’m just thinking of all the Musical Theatre students and professionals who worked their asses off, tirelessly auditioning, getting door after door shut in their face, and really earning their stripes- just to have the role taken from them by some 50 year old Mid-Life Crisis Barbie from reality TV (who was auto tuned beyond believe in this clip btw) who’s music career is carried and provided for by her old lawyer husband with millions in the bank…
No one is entitled to a career in musical theatre
@@dude2252 No, but that’s a pretty shit thing to say to someone who does it the right way whenever someone with a rich sugar daddy and reality TV clout gets the role. She doesn’t deserve a second thought, nonetheless a damn audition.
@@lewisedwards4058 you’re still not entitled. Acting and singing is all about rejected. If you can’t handle it be a teacher ❤️
@@dude2252 oh my gosh… no is entitled to anything, but she objectively doesn’t deserve to be on Broadway. Ironically- she doesn’t even qualify to “be a teacher” like you joked. She has neither the talent nor the résumé in comparison to literally anyone else who would’ve auditioned- aka people who don’t have the luxury of getting their sugar daddy to buy their role for them. The way you guys can’t see how that’s unethical and messed up is mind blowing.
“You’re not entitled”- no, but the actual theatre professions are more deserving of a role like this than she is.
Life is not fair for a LOT of Broadway hopefuls. This happens to them everyday. This job is not for everyone. Rejection is just a part of it even if you're talented and as they say..." and it's showbiz...kid!"
I love Chicago and I love Real Housewives but I never wanted this.
WHY ISN'T BROADWAY BANGIN ON HER DOOR?? (JUST KIDDING)
How much did she pay to get this part???
Maybe we could ask some of the victims swindled by she and Tom?
EXACTLY
I wouldn’t call it “starring” Erica Jayne..
she seriously can’t sing 😜
I've gotta say, pretty dang fab. I was definitely on the fence, but I'm impressed!
She was the biggest let down by far.
she's a thief who stole from victims JAIL for her not broadway
It’s a good thing it wasn’t past March of 2020 lmao
I was wondering when this was because I’m watching the current season so it was 2019?
46foryounger yes they film around 6 months in advance from airing, but the pandemic delayed it
STUNNER! ❤️🥰🏆👑
Love everything you do, Erika.
You are a 1 in a MILLION. 🔥
And next she will be performing the Cell block Tango 😫
What happened to the contest thing?
This Single Mom she won no contest needed 😉
This Single Mom Maybe this is a transition before Emma Pittman because she needs still do a lot of work before hitting on stage as Roxie Hart.
emreoa she’s not a single mom she’s married plus her son is like 26
No comments....
Thay dtop was amazing, she mustve practiced ALOT!
This was the worst I've ever seen in Broadway...where did she study....she had to pay to get that part
She didn't pay- her octogenarian hubby did!
This fits, her and roxie are willing to get involved in shady lawyers.
After I heard how she treated Amir Yassai, I lost all respect for her. It's a bummer because I really liked her. It's a shame what fame can do to a person.
she is on Broadway for her husband!
Give her a chance!!
Personally I do not like her on Housewives. She is very in love with herself and lets that be known. The clip I just saw was great, it called my name. I would love to see it. She did a terrific job, I actually forgot how much I dislike her. BRAVO!
@@beverlysawyer2218 Absolutely!!! I too am very much in love with myself, I adore myself!!! And if I don't who will ?
Narcissism at its best!
Beverly Sawyer I don’t see her as full of herself I just think she is a performer and likes to play dress up dance and act. I actually think she is very down to earth and is much more in touch with what’s really important unlike most of the other housewives
Some things you can't unsee this was dreadful 😫
My my my how the turntables
fun fact: she went to a performing arts high school in ATL so y’all should definitely give her a chance
High School? She's 49, she definitely hasn't been crafting her skill since & it shows.

Excelente 👏👏👏👏👏
Criminal is the name on everyone's lips
Go girl ❤
Where's Renee Zellweger? She's the BEST Roxy
One word sums her up - Perfection!❤
Sorry but this is stiff as hell... more erikaaa moreee...
She would of been great as Roxie she has talent
I love Erika but brandy is still the best Roxie to ever Grace the stage. Periodt
What happened to the contest?
She was the perfect Roxie
Spoof Erika being her but she plays Roxi like it fits like a glove.
Congratulations Erika 🎉❤🔥
Erika Looks fabulous 😍😛😍⭐👍🏿⭐👍🏿⭐👍🏿
Good job girl, your singing voice is intriguing, now to get your mom to be internally proud, hope you'll hear it before she goes but just remember, half the world will never get that, that "I'm so proud of you". Heck, my parents are still alive but dead, didn't know how to be parents, lazy baby boomers of Canada. Peace and love Erica.
This is my favorite favorite musical and she nailed it...!!
ICK!
Jane vanderberg/ Terry Pete Erica Joe brewer or Erica Tara's friend school mate
I love Erika , but there is not better Roxie than Renee Zellweger . She is such a good actress that she embodies vocally and physically the character !! I stress once again that I love Erika !
I’m confused, is this the outcome of the contest or just a stunt casting??
Definite stunt casting
Barbara Seirup That’s what I thought...
Omg Lmao!
Finally a HW single by someone who can hold a note. Can’t buy me class, tardy for the party… blah blah blah!!
Chic cest la vie is a masterpiece 🤣
she looks & sounds like a dreeaammm omg best roxie hart ever
No, no, no
Such star with great energy! Truly skilled! Great performance!
Whomever came up with this video idea needs a BIG, FAT PAY RAISE.
Why they gotta do Roxie like that Erika Jayne really?
She's actually brilliant as Roxie! I wasn't for it either, but she nails it!
@@barbarabueno81 I like hearing that. I believed it because of how you conveyed it. I get it. Was a little like "hmm" but she worked hard and it's not the NORMAL her ...its her best her.
@@mikevalentine8369 thank you! I think a lot of people just see Erika as a "Housewife" and a lot of people do nit know she also is a performer. Her music is not for everyone, but what music is?!
Her as Roxie is actually brilliant because she has the "attitude" to play her! But also the story of Roxie is about an average woman. She's not supposed to be this perfect singer. She's just a regular woman so regardless of how perfect or imperfect the singer portraying Roxie is as long as the person can convey the feeling of Roxie to the audience than that is what REALLY matters!
I love how she whispers her name
Two words: STUNT CASTING. Girl can not sing 😭 I have a theatre degree, and as a performer I have multiple awards for musical theatre so I know a little bit about this lmfao she cant sing without auto tune and you can't auto tune a broadway performance without being laughed at. I'm glad covid shut this stunt casting mess down.
All of these positive comments are LYYYYYING. 😂💀
She's so perfect for this. 💐
If this shameless promotional TH-cam ad is any example of how or why they put her in this role, it should be the one reason to stay away from Chicago until April.
I thought she lives in Pasadena lol
She does, just around the corner from me.
She does
Love this, u go girl xx
She is f*** FABULOUS ! I ❤️ #ERIKA JAYNE
Yikes!!!!
Omg this is amazing!!!!!!
That was adorable lol
Yes
Best adv ever!!!
Amazing to see her here!
What a Queen.
Yes, I can clearly see the irony. Hmmm. Karma. It's a Bitch.
Im going to watch this somehow...and i dunno what im getting into..literally no clue but i love Erika Jayne
Even after this season? Lmfao
I love her!
