Amber is calling out RHOBH star Erika Jayne for covering her hit dance track This Is Your Night without permission.

As you all know, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been performing her residency show in Vegas for a few months, where she “sings” a compilation of her songs and music from other artists. However, we’ve come to find out that the vocals in one of the songs in her set are actually by the popular dance music artist Amber (Marie-Claire Cremers), and the Dutch-born singer isn’t here for it at all.
Amber took to her Instagram recently to call out Erika for a few things, but primarily for stealing her song and vocals without her permission. “So, today I was sent this clip 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,” she began.
At first, Amber mistook the reality star for a “drag queen,” saying she’d be okay with that kind of art and representation. “However, it turns out, she was on one of these [Real Housewives] reality shows,” she continued. “No wonder I do not know her.” But it’s not the fact that EJ is a wannabe popstar (like many other Housewives) that upset Amber; it’s deeper than that.
For Amber, it’s not that a Real Housewives star is (pretending) to sing her music; it’s that Erika went about it the wrong way. “Why are you not taking out a mechanical license and just set up a little produced track yourself and add YOUR OWN vocals?” she asked on Instagram. That is if she “must lip sync … otherwise, go live, girl!”
Woah, Amber — you’re expecting too much from this girl. Don’t forget, this is a $7 show, and they had to preserve the budget somewhere. It looks like live vocals are what had to take the hit.
On the other hand, though, Erika, you actually should be ashamed of yourself.
I thought Amber was aware of Erika covering her song, because when the residency first kicked off I saw a montage of her show all over social media. Then again, I can't expect other musicians to be all over social media searching for things about themselves.
Erika also covers a plethora of other songs as well (quiet as it's kept she doesn't have enough songs of her own to perform) including Madonna's Material Girl.
