From shining on Glee, to winning Dancing with the Stars, to killing it in The Wiz Live!, to winning a Laurence Olivier Award for playing the role she was born to play! Love you Amber, you deserve everything and more!!!
This really does bring me great joy to see Amber out here prospering. The fact that she is doing this on her own and not with the help of Ryan and Co. She knows her worth and she knows, just like we knew she was being wasted on that show. Amber is out here living HER dream. No one else's. So proud of her.
Y'all need to stop with all that mess. Let's get real...In the business that Amber Riley has chosen, EXPOSURE is everything. And a hit show where you're singing ALL the time, in addition to some decent acting at times...a show that was on for SIX seasons gave her a s/*&t ton of that exposure. Acting like Ryan and Co. had nothing to do with that is just wrong. They knew what they had, and as the show progressed, they used her more and more. They even ended the show with her character moving toward becoming a huge singing star). Stop acting like it didn't help her get to where she is. There is no dishonor to Amber is recognizing the truth. Amber acknowledges it. Don't be so small about it.
What I don't understand with Ryan is, he had been pushing for her since she was 15, even creating a pilot show for her. Unfortunately it wasn't picked up but 6 years later he held on to her and brought her on Glee and then just wasted her talent
When she started singing 'And you, and you, and you" all I could do was envision her pointing at Ms. Pillsbury, Santana, & Artie in the music room. Then finally pointing at Kurt, who just blushes and puts his hand over his heart!!
I love how the audience gave her a standing ovation. At the tonys they just think everything's beneath them. I remember fantasia performed at the tonys and blew my wig off 😂 and they had the nerve to still be seated
I was actually worried about her on Glee. I thought her voice sounded strained on some songs, I was worried she might be losing it. Those worries were clearly misplaced-- she sounds better here than she ever has. Powerful. Stunning. Her voice is a jolt of energy to my very soul. She brings me LIFE.
Amber Riley is winning awards and so called glee fans are still trying to discredit her talent over another cast member. smh. Congrats Amber Riley! Amazing.
@Harris Devon it can be perceived as microaggression. But you knew what your intentions were behind mentioning it. And most on this thread thinking what was the point. How did it add to the original comment
The people who dislike this performance needs to go see a ear doctor or stop smoking crack lol because this performance was epic it was so damn good she started off amazing and she ended it off evening better with that long-ass note singing like a boss I guess if you dislike this performance obviously you don't know Talent when you see it or hear it Amber Riley is one of the greatest Live Singers out there. Flawless performance well done Amber Riley
I Have listened to this lady sing this song every time I need music to pick me up from depression from listening to the news. Truly a voice from heaven!!!
This brings tears to my eyes. I watched glee mainly for her and to see her underused and often ignored and neglected as a character. To see her come to my city and not only kill vocally but win this prestigious award. Lawrence Olivier award, that is prestigious. So proud.
Hearing about her winning made me so proud but actually seeing her win made me sob. I'm a mess because I'm just beyond happy seeing my Glee cast doing so well (minus one) & being so successful & getting the attention they truly deserve. Amber deserves everything & more. ❤️
The best part about this is that you can see that she's not trying to sound like either of the wonderful Jennifer's. Instead, she's simply putting her own take on it and singing with her own passion and her own emotions and I love every bit of it.
WOW! Very powerful performance of an extremely difficult song to sing night, after night, after night. Amber made it her own - this is a much better performance than she did on the Graham Norton show - I guess because she could really 'let go' in front of thousands in the AMAZING Royal Albert Hall where I saw THE SUPREMES perform. They were STUNNING too!!!
Was on vacation in London a few weeks ago and saw Amber live in Dreamgirls at the Savoy Theatre. The show and Amber's performance was simply brilliant!! And Amber signed my program after the performance...she's a doll!
That has literally always been my favorite thing about her; Amber can transition to soft to strong to straight up powerful like it's nothing. I swear they did her so wrong while on Glee.
The host’s reaction to her performance was priceless. Been a fan since Glee. Amber is just highly favored and blessed with her voice! Too teary 😭😭😭 to keep typing!
Read about her winning and was so happy for her. And now I stumbled upon this video. Her talent is undeniable. Maybe the production will come to Broadway when the world reopens. Congrats Amber! Well deserved.
Saw her in Dreamgirls and always come back to this clip when I want to relive the experience. She was simply astounding in this musical. She is an original and unlike another of her "Glee" costars; Amber doesn't have to imitate anyone!
Actually. for those saying this isn't as prestigious as the Tony Awards, British actors mostly work in theatre, that's where they learn their craft because there isn't a big movie industry here. So the Olivier Awards are for us what the Oscars are for Americans.
Hipster B, do you work in the film industry? We put more emphasis on Theatres and Academy learning here in the UK than in the US like you said that is true, that's where the odd reverence about 'Classical Training' comes in and the large sway of Brits landing big roles in Film and TV in the states (wether the castings are controversial or not thankfully usually based solely on the material. The great discussion on Daniel Kaluuya in Get Out vs. Half of Netflix's Defenders being English and no one batting an eye.) The point about there not being a big film industry though is false, we're inundated with more of the media from Stateside all the time because there's a lot more of it (The Population is 5 times larger they're going to churn out more movies), but that doesn't take away from the fact that production of movies here (Hollywood or not, in the majority they used UK crews and paid money into UK locations and facilities) has risen dramatically with a 13% spend increase on last year alone. Hopefully long may it continue post Brexit, or maybe I will look elsewhere for jobs! :)
Lottieface There really isn't a big film industry here. The fact that it's cheaper to shoot Hollywood movies here doesn't mean there's a big industry here. In fact a lot of British actors that want to be in movies have moved to the USA in order to do so.
There isn't a big movie industry in the UK? You mean aside from the fact half of the highest grossing film franchises of all time have been shot here. The film industry is booming.
I can't even count how many times I've watched this clip. I regret nothing. So very, very happy for Amber doing the damn thang. Thanks for posting this btw!
this song proves only pure talent can possibly sing it.... very few can sing it the way it should be sung, and she shows she has the chops to do it... BRAVO!!
I've Loved her voice ever since Glee. Can't believe she never blew up. Such a shame to have that powerful voice and such Vocal Range. Love Ya Amber Riley.....
Amber was and always will be my favourite singer that came from Glee. Makes me so happy to see her have success after the show. She was majorly underused. ❤️🔥
Imagine having to share a stage with Amber Riley THEE Vocal Powerhouse. Literally I'd be scared out of my mind to even just stand there in a suit, she's too legendary!!!!
Im so proud and happy for Amber, she deserves all the success and awards and love, she is such a wonderful person, and so talented, Im looking forward to all her future projects, love her so much
@fan of things i agree but then i disagree with some points. amber is an all around amazing singer ranging from r&b, soul, broadway, and even opera. so to be honest in my opinion she is better than lea
@Susana Lopez i mean that’s true but naya is an amazing singer and dianna is great as well. i do agree tho that amber should’ve definitely gotten a solo, she deserved one.
My baby girl...she sang the HECK out of that song! I'm so proud of her and happy to see her great talent being featured. I love me some AMBER P. RILEY!
I had the amazing fortune to see this show (and her) live in London and it was STUNNING. It was the most mind-blowing performance and her singing LIVE was an actual religious experience. The way the scene transitions directly into this song reflects the emotions of the characters PERFECTLY and I heard the audience audibly GASP when she just turned around out of nowhere and went right into "- and I am telling you". God, and 'Listen' with Liisi as Deena right at the end too had the audience in a standing ovation halfway through, it was INSANE. I even met her after and she was so sweet, going to multiple stage doors on opposite sides of the theatre to meet people & sign programmes :) Can't imagine doing that every night. And she performs 7 of the 8 performances a week. No idea how she's even alive and continuing to do it all essentially on a daily basis. Amber really deserves all of this and more. She's a REAL hard worker and a true talent!
Hands down the most precious gifted selfless humble inspiration ever!!! Girl when you can sing like that you can cry whenever you want to!!! God bless you!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Nothing will ever beat Jennifer Holliday in this role, but damn if Amber doesn't get closer than anyone ever has. Even JHud didn't get this raw. I can only hope this might come to Broadway or I get to go to London to see this because she is really one in a million with this role.
From shining on Glee, to winning Dancing with the Stars, to killing it in The Wiz Live!, to winning a Laurence Olivier Award for playing the role she was born to play! Love you Amber, you deserve everything and more!!!
And now adding winning The Masked Singer. Amazing Talent all around. Love you Amber. Keep up the Great Work hun, and Congratulations 🎊
And winning the masked singer🥰
Winning the Masked Singer Season 8! Definitely the best!
Tha masked singer season 8
Let's add The Voice to that.
This really does bring me great joy to see Amber out here prospering. The fact that she is doing this on her own and not with the help of Ryan and Co. She knows her worth and she knows, just like we knew she was being wasted on that show. Amber is out here living HER dream. No one else's. So proud of her.
@Patrice Lockert Anthony you're right.

What I don't understand with Ryan is, he had been pushing for her since she was 15, even creating a pilot show for her. Unfortunately it wasn't picked up but 6 years later he held on to her and brought her on Glee and then just wasted her talent
Straight facts! Loved her on Glee but they never utilized her the way they should have.
Quite ironic that She's literally living Rachel Berry's dream ❤
Her voice is very soft and amazingly beautiful 💜💜💜
Lea Michele could never.
@magnusvaldez622 I understood exactly what you were saying. What I don't understand is why people are fighting and debating below your comment.
And yet here comes Lea Michelle about to play Fanny Brice in the Broadway revival of Funny Girl
When she started singing 'And you, and you, and you" all I could do was envision her pointing at Ms. Pillsbury, Santana, & Artie in the music room. Then finally pointing at Kurt, who just blushes and puts his hand over his heart!!
What
UjjainHB 6
OMG same!!
That vibrato on the last note was very whitney-esque. She's really grown into her voice she is and always will be amazing
Very much so!
I need need NEED this to come to Broadway. Riley could easily score a Tony.
You’ll be Excited she said she might produce a live version on NBC
@Social Chameleon it’s been 3 years so what’s the tea 🧍🏻♂️
Hopefully it will come.to Broadway when things return to normal.
But for real what is the holdup? Clearly Broadway worthy and yep, the tony would be automatic!
whoooo!!!
Honestly who cares if she's a soprano, she absolutely crushed this performance!! This was insane!
Amen to your comment.
I love how the audience gave her a standing ovation. At the tonys they just think everything's beneath them. I remember fantasia performed at the tonys and blew my wig off 😂 and they had the nerve to still be seated
It’s all about emotion... that’s when the magic happens ❤️
Cynthia Erivo got a standing ovation for the same song, though.
I think they just put butt glue in the seats the year that Fantasia sang.
Hoshi Knows y
Jade Perrin because its tony s awards
I loved her, I love her and I will always love her. Amber Riley you are amazing. ❤️
Yes she is ...
I love you tooo! charot 😅
I was actually worried about her on Glee. I thought her voice sounded strained on some songs, I was worried she might be losing it. Those worries were clearly misplaced-- she sounds better here than she ever has. Powerful. Stunning. Her voice is a jolt of energy to my very soul. She brings me LIFE.
she probably used some intentional distortion but amber rarely ever truly strains
The producers on glee didn't how to use a soulful voice like here
Especially on bust your windows
Glee just had no love for soul music.
You could not have been watching the same Glee as I did. She literally improved by leaps and bounds.
Amber Riley is winning awards and so called glee fans are still trying to discredit her talent over another cast member. smh. Congrats Amber Riley! Amazing.
she's amazing but can we just take a moment to appreciate how pretty she looks I mean LOOK AT THAT HAIR
@faithful31us I'm black. It's not a microagression duh lol
@Harris Devon it can be perceived as microaggression. But you knew what your intentions were behind mentioning it. And most on this thread thinking what was the point. How did it add to the original comment
@faithful31us Nuh uh. It ain't unfair and it's definitely not a microagression
Wow. Her voice is so crisp and clear while at the same time so powerful.
The people who dislike this performance needs to go see a ear doctor or stop smoking crack lol because this performance was epic it was so damn good she started off amazing and she ended it off evening better with that long-ass note singing like a boss I guess if you dislike this performance obviously you don't know Talent when you see it or hear it Amber Riley is one of the greatest Live Singers out there. Flawless performance well done Amber Riley
I Have listened to this lady sing this song every time I need music to pick me up from depression from listening to the news. Truly a voice from heaven!!!
“Stop smoking crack” gave me a good chuckle
Maybe they disliked the darn ad in the middle at the last note. I almost hit dislike because of that. So wrong. 😠
I agree
I liked this song all my life, but this version I Love. Her tone and perfection is only matched by her passion. Great Job!
wow Amber Riley just kill that song in a good way her voice is absolutely amazing and so powerful she deserve to win that award
Terrence Lonon dancing with the stars a celebrity dance competition in the states
what's dwts?
and sexy. I see you avoided that part -_-
dianna fagan yes talented is right
Cough cough. Guess who's back MA BOI
oh how i love the sexy talented amber Riley
She deserved that standing ovation!
This brings tears to my eyes. I watched glee mainly for her and to see her underused and often ignored and neglected as a character. To see her come to my city and not only kill vocally but win this prestigious award. Lawrence Olivier award, that is prestigious. So proud.
Her vocal nuances are ON POINT.
She's not just incredibly talented, but she has such a humble sweetness about her. You really do just wanna love her!
wow! she's always been wonderful but this? truly remarkable.
contrast this with the time she sang this on glee and her growth is amazing
I've always preferred Amber's voice to Lea's. It just so much more soul and depth to it. So immensely happy for her!
Hearing about her winning made me so proud but actually seeing her win made me sob. I'm a mess because I'm just beyond happy seeing my Glee cast doing so well (minus one) & being so successful & getting the attention they truly deserve. Amber deserves everything & more. ❤️
Well, this comment didn’t age very well...
Minus two :(
Hiya. I just stopped to say hi coz of our names lol.
ScottStephen369 now the actor that played Ryder abused his wife (Marley)
real Gleeks are on the floor. there was more talent on that show than on the radio today. i'm glad she's shining!
MAJOR flashback to when she did this song on Glee though
fun fact! that was ambers audition song for glee
yes i remember her singing this on Glee too it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up then and now, fantastic!
This is better than her glee version
@Nicole Salmon I'm the opposite. I always thought her voice was a bit light (big, but light) for Effie, but this proved me waaay wrong.
@shevonnie salmon hey sis. Liked her glee version a little better because her voice was more pure. Though this was more emotional.
The best part about this is that you can see that she's not trying to sound like either of the wonderful Jennifer's. Instead, she's simply putting her own take on it and singing with her own passion and her own emotions and I love every bit of it.
WOW! Very powerful performance of an extremely difficult song to sing night, after night, after night. Amber made it her own - this is a much better performance than she did on the Graham Norton show - I guess because she could really 'let go' in front of thousands in the AMAZING Royal Albert Hall where I saw THE SUPREMES perform. They were STUNNING too!!!
Steve Weaver she was sick when she sang this one there
She sang this Spectacularly on Glee and with time she somehow got even MORE AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I'm literally in tears it's so good!!
Was on vacation in London a few weeks ago and saw Amber live in Dreamgirls at the Savoy Theatre. The show and Amber's performance was simply brilliant!! And Amber signed my program after the performance...she's a doll!
I knew she had such a voice but this performance is incredible
She is so gifted! Her performance and speech inspired me to another level! She's even better live!
Woooooooo! She definitely killed it! The audience were on their feet 😍😍😍😍😍
this is better than the recorded version....amazing
There's that softness, there's also the power how and where that comes from? She's amazing
That has literally always been my favorite thing about her; Amber can transition to soft to strong to straight up powerful like it's nothing. I swear they did her so wrong while on Glee.
She was always my favourite girl on Glee and damn, look at her now. Such a queen.
The host’s reaction to her performance was priceless. Been a fan since Glee. Amber is just highly favored and blessed with her voice! Too teary 😭😭😭 to keep typing!
Read about her winning and was so happy for her. And now I stumbled upon this video. Her talent is undeniable. Maybe the production will come to Broadway when the world reopens. Congrats Amber! Well deserved.
Great performance. Even more special that her mother was around to see her win
The character of Effie White literally has won all the big awards it just is short of an Emmy
Make it a TV movie with Amber
She's amazing. I have no words to describe it. I just love her!!
Literally the best singer in Glee, in life, ever.
Saw her in Dreamgirls and always come back to this clip when I want to relive the experience. She was simply astounding in this musical. She is an original and unlike another of her "Glee" costars; Amber doesn't have to imitate anyone!
She was brilliant in Glee and now still showing us God gave her an amazing gift! She is doing what we always knew she would do.
That girl can SING ❤️
🙌🙌🙌 She made me "stank face" for quite sometime, even after she exited the stage... wow!! she is amazing
Eric Potter me too😂😂😂😂😂
She has just an incredible voice one of the best versions of this song I've heard!! ❤
I'm soooo proud of her!!! She deserved this award and recognition ❤ Gorgeous👑👏🏼👏🏼
It gives me a strange joy seeing Amber getting to play this part on broadway. Like i got to see her grow up and live a great life.

Felt so blessed to be able to see Amber live. She's so talented, and such a charismatic performer.
I can't even count how many times I've watched this clip. I regret nothing. So very, very happy for Amber doing the damn thang. Thanks for posting this btw!
She had everyone on their feet!!🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️ Amber did not come to play but to slay!!! YASSS QUEEN!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Amazing voice, and talent! I’m am so happy for her well deserved success.
She was amazing in glee when she first sang it this was just absolutely phenomenal ❤
this is just as amazing as i thought it would be out of the entire cast of Glee i looked forward to her singing every week. she is an amazing talent
The way she sang "Ever" at 5:11. My goodness!!!
She is the definition of true brilliance...!!!
Her voice is INCREDIBLE!!!!!
It's even better than the studio version on Glee. She has matured so much.
I suffocated just listening to this. That's some breath control. She is pure talent and the personification of the "it factor" and just SO beautiful.
Thank you so much for posting this. Amber is my favorite and I am so happy to see her shining moment.
this song proves only pure talent can possibly sing it.... very few can sing it the way it should be sung, and she shows she has the chops to do it... BRAVO!!
I will FOREVER love Amber! One of them most talented glee members!
She is amazing, she sang the hell out that song. She gave me goose bumps. 😈😍😀😀😀👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I've been waiting on Amber Riley! Glad I finally found this performance. Great arrangement and vocals!! She can BLOW!
I'm
I'm just so happy for Amber. What a talent, what a voice. ❤️
I've Loved her voice ever since Glee. Can't believe she never blew up. Such a shame to have that powerful voice and such Vocal Range. Love Ya Amber Riley.....
Amber was and always will be my favourite singer that came from Glee. Makes me so happy to see her have success after the show. She was majorly underused. ❤️🔥
Amber Riley is absolute perfection here, WOW!
Saw her sing this in DreamGirls Saturday at the Savoy. Incredible voice. Real star.
Bravo Amber Riley👏👏👏 That was amazing!! She’s so talented ..
She is so loveable and open and vulnerable and strong all at the same time. No wonder she is a great Effie!
Didn't even break a sweat! Queen 💖 It's funny that it's almost 10 years since she sang it on Glee, now she's playing Effie.
It is just me or did any one else get goosebumps
I knew when I first saw her sing this on Glee! She's a STAR!
Love it!! She made it her own.
She brings out the same emotions like Jennifer Holliday did at the 1982 Tony Awards. AMAZING!
Imagine having to share a stage with Amber Riley THEE Vocal Powerhouse. Literally I'd be scared out of my mind to even just stand there in a suit, she's too legendary!!!!
Oh My GOD !! One of the best female singner in the world !!!!😍❤️
Listening to this gave me chills! This girl is amazing!
Oh my friggen GOD!!! I'm so bloody blown away by that performance... It was so emotional and I believed every word 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I love the dress and I love her, this performance is amazing
I adore Amber! She such is such a beautiful talented soul!!!!
I loved her, she really deserve all of this❤️🙌🏻
I'm watching this on an airplane, crying my little eyes out. She's just unbelievably perfect for this role
Saw Amber Riley… standing ovation in each performance….. Just brilliant x

Not a superstar, but a freaking whole galaxy this woman is!
I am so proud of this WOMAN, unbelievable.
Wow she can SANG!!!!! Someone throw they shoe! X Queen 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Nothing will ever beat Jennifer Holliday in this role, but damn if Amber doesn't get closer than anyone ever has. Even JHud didn't get this raw. I can only hope this might come to Broadway or I get to go to London to see this because she is really one in a million with this role.
