Not that distinctive. They dont sound too different from other black women who can sing just as high. Their tone is very normal among the black community & i dont find them special. Thats why both didnt have a very successful singing career.
It’s impressive that Amber took the higher note on an already very high note, to do the harmony with JHud. Her voice and control has really matured since glee 👏🏽👏🏽
@James May no weight behind are u okay? Did u not hear her cover I have nothing on on the masked singer or anything she sang on glee her voice is very powerful
@James May You clearly don,t because you think that her incorporating a few growls means she is screaming. She is classically trained and I have seen her hit notes ALOT higjer than that. she is sitting very comfortably in her range. That distortion she jmis doi g literally wouldn,t be happening if she was screamj g and shouting her way through the notes instead of what she is actually doing sitting on a comfortable place on her voice and adding style. Jennifer is the one who hits past a certain note and gets a really metallic flat sound.
@CRISPR I I do have an idea what a lighter voice sounds like... Amber's. Doesn't negate the fact that she is simply yelling/screaming. She has a much lighter voice with a higher range, but naturally much less volume. So she is literally screaming in order to compensate for the natural volume/weight advantage Jennifer has. And it sounds dreadful
@James May Basically you just have no idea what a lighter voice sounds like lol she has an insane amount of weight and power behind her voice to be sitting comfortably on such a high vocal range
I love that they really thought we wouldn't be able to tell their voices apart. We could, we're just fangirling over both of them because those voices are impossibly perfect
We need the extended version of this interview. Interesting that they both found success after not making it on American idol and have been discriminated against because of their body type in the Industry. They deserve all that comes their way. I would love to see Amber play Effie on Broadway, so she can win a Tony as well.
@Pedro Gomes I do, I am a Jhud fan from day one. I can hear her voice in my sleep. As much as they sound both sounds similar I definitely can hear the difference. Both are uniquely beautiful. 😀
@Angeline Bell You don't know Gal Costa's notes haha. She puts JHud on her shoes, specially on this video link, from 2:23 to 2:59: kzclip.org/video/8KHtYIL7_-Q/бейне.html
Chile it AIN’T NO WAY I COULD HAVE BEEN IN THAT AUDIENCE and kept my composure! I would have thrown my prayer cloth at them!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 If you’re from the church you know throwing ya prayer cloth at the singers is the highest compliment! 🏆😊 I just love this show and these Queens 👸🏾 👸🏾 DESERVE THEIR FLOWERS! 💐💐💐💐
What a beautiful testament to sisterhood! There is only greatness on this stage, no competition! They are both incredible and dynamic vocalist! Jennifer Hudson’s Effie is probably one of my favorite characters of all time. I didn’t see Amber play Effie but I loved Mercedes on Glee. I know she shut down the house as Effie! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 on that note I’m about to queue up Dreamgirls! Lbs
I just have to laugh every time Jennifer belts next to another powerhouse singer because there is no one louder than Jennifer EGOT Hudson. She has the whole Mississippi mass choir in her vocal chords. 😭😂
I love Jennifer's show. I love that she always have artist who really sings outside of studio. I hope this show last for years to come and she continues to bring these classic artists back to the forefront of our minds. Maybe do some live mini concerts like Arsenio Hall Show used to do in the 89/90s.
I love how they said "We gonna hide behind the tree and guessing game!" But after realizing how different they sounded they just came out and BELTED. Iconic haha
Amber looked so beautiful!! Loved her hair, that outfit and of course that voice!! I knew immediately after her 2nd performance on Masked Singer that it was her. I was thinking to myself, “If she doesn’t win, I’m gonna ghost this show forever ever...”haha
Amber Riley has always had an AMAZING VOICE! I'm actually surprised that she hasn't had more notoriety than she has, not that she's not well known, but I think her platform should be bigger! I've always been blown away by her vocal talents and thought that even on Glee, it should have been more recognizable! I'm so glad that Jennifer had her on, Awesome talent recognizes Awesome talent!❤
So beautiful to see them both bring down the house with an epic performance. To go to Jennifer show and be graced with her vocals at a drop of a dime is epic by itself. Our Aretha of our time jhud queen
It’s so amazing to see two absolute powerhouse vocalists have just the utmost respect for the other without any diva attitudes, competition or jealousy… just celebrating each other, and shining as they should.
Oh my goodness, no competition, just supportive of each other and they both sung that song. I've followed Amber since Glee and always felt she never got the deserved recognition. Happy for both of them. When one door closed they opened up others! You two Queens came through!!!
MorningStarKnowledge yet Jennifer is doing quite well for herself and Patti labelle still a living icon. Even Aretha loves both of them. Sucks to be you right now.
Amber Riley is hilarious at the end there. Lost in the moment, and going ‘wooh’ for JHud’s singing… then remembering she had to sing the last note too 😂😍👌🏻 so gooood
That shows the respect other entertainers have for Jennifer’s voice. Also, proud of Amber cause she tore up the stage every time she performed. Well deserved trophy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
One of very few successful showcases of two powerful vocalists who know how to DUET an almost impossible song to duet to. Usually singers would try to outdo one another. But they really did it very well. Amber Riley singing the higher harmony in some parts was such a huge W!!!!😍😍😍😍
GOOSEBUMPS😮😮😮😮😮😮 I grew up listening to the original cast album. And all I can say is goosebumps! Now JHud, Amber, AND Jennifer Holiday need to sing together! Cheese and Rice, my heart couldn't take it; but what a way to go!!!
@Tenisa White that’s cos so many of these interviewers just keep asking Beyoncé weird questions. Trying to find dirt on her or start a feud between her and her sisters kelly and Michelle or her dad or DC5 or something else. I doubt Jennifer would do that. Jennifer let's her guest be very comfortable.
Oh My God!!! My mouth literally fell to the floor. It was absolutely astronomical. I would live for you guys to do a show together. A tribute to Effy. It's about time. We'll done ladies. You made my night.
Two power houses. They will take you to church and have tears pouring down your face before the first note is finished. Jennifer has the bold belting to the rafters voice while bringing you ever so gently back to your seat. Amber has the smokey lulling you to sleep while keeping you mesmerized kind of voice. Two unbelievable voices, amazing talented and extremely beautiful women. Wow just wow.
OH MY GOD! Can the two of you PLEASE do something together? A stage play, music, a Hallmark movie, a concert, a dang tee shirt? I would stand in line to buy it! Two phenomenal women on the same stage. You are truly blessed. Thank you both for sharing your God-given talents with the world!
There are now words to fully describe how awesome you two are. I love to hear you both sing. Praying God continue to Bless and Keep you both. Much Love❤
They would do well on an album, yes I said album together. Imagine if they sang with Patti LaBelle together also. I still love the Collab, Amber did on Dancing With The Stars with Aunty Patti and Lil'Kim on Lady Marmalade. It was 🔥.
I have opened up a box of tissues and now it is empty. I have dried my eyes and I'm still crying of tears of joys. These two Powerhouse voice ladies are phenomenal. OMG if they could do a tour together I'll be right there at every show. This was the best show ever. Love you JHud and love you Amber Riley.
Wow! Sitting here with my mouth wide open! What some talent. I admit I slept on Amber for along time. I LOVE the partnership and support for each other. This was amazing!
They both have strong and powerful voices, and their voices are very unique so you can definitely tell them apart but one things for sure, they both sound incredible.
Now there's something I want to hear it about Amber Riley! She's truly amazing for singing beautiful voice and J Hud always been proud of her! 😍❤️🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶
They are both distinctive vocalists. There's no way to mistake the two. Love them both!!
Same here
Not that distinctive. They dont sound too different from other black women who can sing just as high. Their tone is very normal among the black community & i dont find them special. Thats why both didnt have a very successful singing career.
Gotta say Amber comes out on top
@Jayde Hawkins but they still kind of sound the same
@Marii that’s because JHUD was singing first and then Amber Riley started singing
It’s impressive that Amber took the higher note on an already very high note, to do the harmony with JHud. Her voice and control has really matured since glee 👏🏽👏🏽
@James May no weight behind are u okay? Did u not hear her cover I have nothing on on the masked singer or anything she sang on glee her voice is very powerful

@Dawud Jibreel 😂😅
you both bring something so special to effie 😭 i feel so lucky to have gotten to watch that!!
KZclip, that's your territory haha
I love that they really thought we wouldn't be able to tell their voices apart. We could, we're just fangirling over both of them because those voices are impossibly perfect
Ikr....Jhud thick dark voice is quite recognizable.😂
We need the extended version of this interview. Interesting that they both found success after not making it on American idol and have been discriminated against because of their body type in the Industry. They deserve all that comes their way. I would love to see Amber play Effie on Broadway, so she can win a Tony as well.
Love My People..!!
I love when artist have fun and show their appreciation for one another. No egos just singing and having fun. Jennifer's energy is such a light.
2 powerhouses. This amount of talent is insane. This is a show that we all needed
Yes, I agree. 😉
@Pedro Gomes
I do, I am a Jhud fan from day one. I can hear her voice in my sleep. As much as they sound both sounds similar I definitely can hear the difference. Both are uniquely beautiful. 😀
@Angeline Bell You don't know Gal Costa's notes haha. She puts JHud on her shoes, specially on this video link, from 2:23 to 2:59: kzclip.org/video/8KHtYIL7_-Q/бейне.html
My exact words! 2 powerhouses!
@LA’s Art Designz
Yes the first voice was Jhud
I've been waiting 13+ years for this duet, since I first heard Amber's version on glee, an it's finally here 🤧
Amber tearing up at the end 🥹 their voices are truly unmatched. I’ve watched this 3 times because it just hits different. Love these ladies! ❤
Jennifer Hudson & Amber Riley TOGETHER 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Somebody needs to write a musical around these Queens 👑
Nobody has any idea how long I’ve waited to hear these two singing together!!! UN-BELIEVABLE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Chile it AIN’T NO WAY I COULD HAVE BEEN IN THAT AUDIENCE and kept my composure! I would have thrown my prayer cloth at them!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 If you’re from the church you know throwing ya prayer cloth at the singers is the highest compliment! 🏆😊 I just love this show and these Queens 👸🏾 👸🏾 DESERVE THEIR FLOWERS! 💐💐💐💐
Amber Riley does not get enough recognition... A power house indeed!
exactly
she was a ghost singer for demi lovato
❗️
Absolutely agree!
No she doesn’t! When I first heard the harp open her mouth I knew it was her and I knew she was going to win!
What a beautiful testament to sisterhood! There is only greatness on this stage, no competition! They are both incredible and dynamic vocalist! Jennifer Hudson’s Effie is probably one of my favorite characters of all time. I didn’t see Amber play Effie but I loved Mercedes on Glee. I know she shut down the house as Effie! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 on that note I’m about to queue up Dreamgirls! Lbs
2 of the most underrated monsters of todays generation 🤧 i love them so much!!!!
I can tell the differences between their voices. They are both very amazing. This was a highlight of the show. More please.😁
I just have to laugh every time Jennifer belts next to another powerhouse singer because there is no one louder than Jennifer EGOT Hudson. She has the whole Mississippi mass choir in her vocal chords. 😭😂
😂😂😂😂
LOL, so true but she also knows how to share a stage and doesn't try to out-sing anyone. She's true talent and grace.
Jennifer Hudson, really enjoy singing this song. She's sang it so much She's added her own little parts to it and I love it
@Ivy Foxx yes all three are vocal beast
Now we need 'Tasia and Jhud duo
I seriously need them both to collaborate. I would watch them live or buy an album in a HEARTBEAT
Live action Hercules muses!!!
Am I opinion, Jennifer out powers Ambra but I love the equally but omg I love Amber Riley as Mercedes
Or just have them back on her show as a regular returning guest!!
this amount of talent is almost too much to handle
YALL KILLED IT
I love Jennifer's show. I love that she always have artist who really sings outside of studio. I hope this show last for years to come and she continues to bring these classic artists back to the forefront of our minds. Maybe do some live mini concerts like Arsenio Hall Show used to do in the 89/90s.
I love how they said "We gonna hide behind the tree and guessing game!" But after realizing how different they sounded they just came out and BELTED. Iconic haha
They are both outstanding, but there’s something about Hudson’s voice so clear and powerful and full of emotions
Amber looked so beautiful!! Loved her hair, that outfit and of course that voice!! I knew immediately after her 2nd performance on Masked Singer that it was her. I was thinking to myself, “If she doesn’t win, I’m gonna ghost this show forever ever...”haha
I have no edges left!!! These 2 ladies snatched them with away with their voices!!!!
🤣🤣🤣 right, right...LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amber Riley has always had an AMAZING VOICE! I'm actually surprised that she hasn't had more notoriety than she has, not that she's not well known, but I think her platform should be bigger!

So beautiful to see them both bring down the house with an epic performance. To go to Jennifer show and be graced with her vocals at a drop of a dime is epic by itself. Our Aretha of our time jhud queen

Jennifer is a Fantastic host, and this show is just beautifully produced. The set, her wardrobe the lighting all on point. Bravo Jennifer.
This!!!!! Plus Jen’s charisma is otherworldy 😍😍 she just has the x factor
MorningStarKnowledge yet Jennifer is doing quite well for herself and Patti labelle still a living icon. Even Aretha loves both of them. Sucks to be you right now.
The whole show is a vibe. I like that Jennifer just has a chat with her guests and isn't trying to be messy.
And the guests!! Every guest is surprising and interesting. Jennifer's just got all of Hollywood on speed dial
Are we surprised she won Masked Singer? Say it with me now…
NO. WE’RE. NOT!!! 🎉
I have always love Amber's voice. So beautiful. I loved her Whitney Houston dedication as well. She is such a beast vocalist 💐💐💐
i love that she regularly sings on her show and i love love love how she lets others shine on the show
Wow, I had no idea Amber Riley could sing like that!! Outstanding!!
All I can manage to say is damn! I pray that Amber gets the respect that she so deserves!
Amber Riley is hilarious at the end there. Lost in the moment, and going ‘wooh’ for JHud’s singing… then remembering she had to sing the last note too 😂😍👌🏻 so gooood
I love how starstruck she was!
Right 🤣. That was funny
That shows the respect other entertainers have for Jennifer’s voice. Also, proud of Amber cause she tore up the stage every time she performed. Well deserved trophy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
im still laughing at that part LOL.
One of very few successful showcases of two powerful vocalists who know how to DUET an almost impossible song to duet to. Usually singers would try to outdo one another. But they really did it very well. Amber Riley singing the higher harmony in some parts was such a huge W!!!!😍😍😍😍
BOTH OF THEIR VERSIONS GOT ME THROUGH SOME THOUGH TIMES THIS STAGE MEANS SO MUCH TO ME THANK YOU.
Two queens sharing the stage, we need more of these two together. In anything. Take all my money!
GOOSEBUMPS😮😮😮😮😮😮 I grew up listening to the original cast album. And all I can say is goosebumps! Now JHud, Amber, AND Jennifer Holiday need to sing together! Cheese and Rice, my heart couldn't take it; but what a way to go!!!
A very Gleeful performance indeed 😏
Yes that’s an Oliver award winner right there!! Amber Riley killed it!!
Oliver twist
They're the Olivier Awards, named for Laurence Olivier.
@wally🐳 The West End is London's Broadway.
I have to Google Oliver award. I've never heard of that. Cool. Edit: An Oliver Award is equivalent to a Tony award.
Oliver and Oscar winners for the same role singing together! We literally cannot handle this greatness! ❤
They're a impressive vocalists. I'm speechless and living for this moment.
The power, the resonance, the passion, OMG
Really happy for Amber for all that she has achieved as a singer, performer, and entertainer ever since her Glee days!!
What an amazing clip👏🏽 Well done ladies. Jennifer is definitely master class 🌟
This was amazing! They're both brilliant individually, but as soon as they sang together my whole body broke out in goosebumps. LOVE!
Wow, two powerful voices ❤
I love how Jennifer Hudson's guests are basically Dreamgirls-adjacent, and Dreamgirls is one of my favourite musicals of all time.
@EyesOfTheBeast they already sung together at the Oscars..
@Tenisa White that’s cos so many of these interviewers just keep asking Beyoncé weird questions. Trying to find dirt on her or start a feud between her and her sisters kelly and Michelle or her dad or DC5 or something else. I doubt Jennifer would do that. Jennifer let's her guest be very comfortable.
@sandra Jones did I say there was?
@Tenisa White nothing wrong with a few inquisitional questions.
@sandra Jones it’s an inside joke the bee hive been saying for years, not that deep lmao
That was an awesome duet. Loved every bit of it. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I need more of Riley in my life! She’s fresh-voiced and has a lot of promise. She deserves more projects where she is the center talent.
Oh My God!!! My mouth literally fell to the floor. It was absolutely astronomical. I would live for you guys to do a show together. A tribute to Effy. It's about time. We'll done ladies. You made my night.
They both have powerful voices.🤩😢 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I need a whole song with both of you!!! ❤
I can die happy now.... These two together.... WOOOOOW
I’ve been waiting. Made me cry. So beautiful!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣rest in happiness
@sherri Smith girls are good
Lmaooo
😂😂😂
Jennifer has the same approach as Whitney did. She knows her voice is incredible but will support and praise other singers! I love it 💖💖
This made me tear up so much. I love both of their voices and they give so much to this role.
Ms. Riley was the shining vocalist on Glee (without any shade to anyone). She’s a household name. ❤️
Oh my! I love it. Jennifer and Amber two amazing powerhouse singers. Fabulous.
Two power houses. They will take you to church and have tears pouring down your face before the first note is finished. Jennifer has the bold belting to the rafters voice while bringing you ever so gently back to your seat. Amber has the smokey lulling you to sleep while keeping you mesmerized kind of voice.

OH MY GOD! Can the two of you PLEASE do something together? A stage play, music, a Hallmark movie, a concert, a dang tee shirt? I would stand in line to buy it! Two phenomenal women on the same stage. You are truly blessed. Thank you both for sharing your God-given talents with the world!
I agree 😂
A T-Shirt LMFAOOO,but nah fr. They 🔥
Not a dang t-shirt!🤣🤣🤣😂
Two of the best singers to ever be connected with American Idol. Obviously AI messed up when they passed on Amber.
I love these Jennifer Hudson clips blessing my timeline. So brilliant to intertwine her musical talent with the show.
That literally made my body shiver. No exaggeration. I love both of those amazing young ladies.❤❤❤
There are now words to fully describe how awesome you two are. I love to hear you both sing. Praying God continue to Bless and Keep you both. Much Love❤
Energía, gran rendimiento, wow!! ❤️🦋
My God! Two anointed voices of our time!!!!!! May the GIFTS continue to MAKE ROOM for THEM❤❤❤❤❤😊
What does that mean?
They would do well on an album, yes I said album together. Imagine if they sang with Patti LaBelle together also. I still love the Collab, Amber did on Dancing With The Stars with Aunty Patti and Lil'Kim on Lady Marmalade. It was 🔥.
Anointed!!! Do you hear me!? Took me straight to church praise god!!
🧡
Congratulations Jennifer Hudson on your show. Both the ladies look beautiful and thank you for bringing the Christmas spirit!
What a treat to hear these two iconic voices in person. Wow!
Loved it when she sang it on Glee, but this was beautiful!!!!❤️
Omg amber be performing and fangirling at the same time 😭😭😭🥺💖
So. much. FUN!!! This show just makes me smile every time I click on a clip 🥰🥰🥰
My God!!! In tears!
God has blessed these two women with their instruments, their phenomenal voices!❤❤
Literally brought me to tears! Absolutely beautiful voices they have. My gosh...chills😍🤗
I have opened up a box of tissues and now it is empty. I have dried my eyes and I'm still crying of tears of joys. These two Powerhouse voice ladies are phenomenal. OMG if they could do a tour together I'll be right there at every show. This was the best show ever. Love you JHud and love you Amber Riley.
Come on Jhud…. We know your voice from anywhere! You’re always belting and have so much vibrato in your voice.
I am NEVER tired of listening to J Hud sang!!!!
Both amazing Queens. But I’ve listened to Jennifer over and over. I can hear a note and know it’s her! ♥️
Me too!!!
amber needs her own show i love her so freaking much i can never get enough of her
Congratulations to Amber for winning the Masked Singer! I knew it was her.
Oh wow! Was anyone there live reading this? Was it as amazing as the video? I find live music in person is even more incredible
Sooooo amazing!!!! Beautiful ladies, inside and out!!! Praise God for their gifts.
You killed me, it was my dream to see you two perform this iconic song together ❤🙌
OMG, what talented queens 🥰😍
Wow! Sitting here with my mouth wide open! What some talent. I admit I slept on Amber for along time. I LOVE the partnership and support for each other. This was amazing!
Not sure how anyone can mistake one of this gals from the other. Their voices are similar but different and highly distinguishable.
This is a beautiful duet. But Jennifer You are an Icon and I could recognize your voice anywhere
They killed that! Not many can keep up with J Hud vocally
What a blessing to hear ❤
They both have strong and powerful voices, and their voices are very unique so you can definitely tell them apart but one things for sure, they both sound incredible.
I love Amber,but I love Jennifer even more. Her voice is just pure magic. 💯💯
Now there's something I want to hear it about Amber Riley! She's truly amazing for singing beautiful voice and J Hud always been proud of her! 😍❤️🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶
Nossa não sabia dessa história da Amber, mas é aquilo , SEJA DETERMINADO que chegarás lá
Both of them are hilarious and amazing singers!!! So I wasn’t expecting less than this.. TERRIFIC 🤩
I've been listening to both of y'alls versions back to back for years now, do this was a great surprise
Great job 👏🏾 I love this song!
Amber was the number 1 reason why I watched Glee they did not give my girl enough credit/shine. Love her vocals
4:08-4:18 is so powerful!🔥🔥🔥Amber is full of power and so is Jennifer!
I think her voice will get recognition in gospel music too
Whew! Those are two talented beauties. And the love and mutual support is everything! Congrats Amber so very well deserved.
Jenny's vocal power is crazy to be heard over Amber! Amber's range is nuts! Unbelievable!
Love these two. They are amazing ❤❤❤
