I didn't expect this preaching at the end, but I had to admit it was something I needed to hear, needed to feel this presence, and I didn't know it. thank to you and amber for being intermediaries of something so big and magnificent as this feeling.
Did you just minister to my whole soul? Thank you sir for taking that liberty to impart some much needed hope and encouragement. That was a whole Word! Keep me where the light is!
Jaronnnnnnnnnnn!!! Don’t you starting nothing…. “Keep me where the light is!” Hallelujahhhh! I love your channel!!!! Song title is a word like no other… “keep me where the light is!” I’m listening at work, trying to hold myself together!!!!! Thank you!!!! Your light is shining!!!!!
Amber “kilt” it every time she got on stage. This performance was my favorite. She can do anything and I’m here for it! She also won on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ Her Christmas movie was good as well. Amber definitely has a light of love and blessings shining within her. ❤😊
She gave me chills with this song and with I Have Nothing. Her talent is boundless and her vocal control is crazy good! She deserves every good thing coming to her!
Amber Sang this song like she was at church I know if I felt chills, the audience did to the choir put that extra topping on it . Beautiful vocals she took us to church, powerful voice 🔥💥
I know the focus is on vocal analysis and Amber absolutely slayed this performance, but dang, that arrangement of Gravity, the choir, the instrumentalists, and Amber working in tandem was just an amazing performance.
She definitely listened to Clark and Yebba's rendition of Gravity. I couldn't remember why a couple of her vocal choices sounded so familiar until I went back to listen to their cover.
Ok just went and listened to their version. Is my damn ears broken? Because both rendition are not similar at all. Stop trying to tear Amber down with the comparison. I do like their version also however definitely took me to church. Their version is airy and sweet, Amber's makes me want to get down on my knees and pray for forgiveness. It has that grit and believability from the old church choir. Kinda makes you ashamed of how you've been living life up until that point but ever so thankful that you're not forgotten. Makes me want to bask in said light. Brings me back to Ain't no way from her Glee days.
If you guys go back and look at Amber's past performances she takes you to church. Haven't heart these Yebba and Clark ppl. Gotta go check them out after. But this is very much Amber. One person said she says she's never heard their version so let's not call the woman a liar. She ate this song and it was musical candy to my ears. That's all that matters. ✌️
Amber sang the mess out of this song!!!! One of the best voices ever! Baby the church in this performance is everything! I’m about to take off running!
I’ve heard this so many times but today is Christmas and grief is hitting me hard. I knew what she was going to do but you sir with that message has given me a little more courage to keep going. Thank you ❤ Lord keep me where the light is
That performance took me out. Omg when I tell you I watched this so many times, its just crazy. I loved your analysis of this. Preach!!! \o/ Whew my goodness you went in Jaron! Yessss! Thank you!
I always enjoy your analysis and have mercy, Ms. Amber does it like none orher. What I did not expect was to have soul preached to this morning. Keep me where the light is, Yes Lord!!!! You could have no idea, but that was sure nuff a word!!!! Thank you for reminding me from whence come my help!!!!
She Preach-Sang! & since the residue was still there when she stopped singing, you added yo Preach on it!!! You know that saying “you know somebody preached when a preacher comes up behind them & feels like preaching again”…THIS is THAT 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!!! Absolutely phenomenal vocals/ministry Amber! We ALL felt & experienced that one!!!! Whew Chiiiile!!!!
Everyone that “stumbled” upon this video needed to see it. That word was for us ❤ Thank you Jaron. Just the joy in watching your reactions to this video filled me with happiness. But that end part was something I needed. I was really at my wits end and ready to just give up on everything. You’ll never know what that meant for me. An on time word to keep going. Thank you for being connected and listening to the promptings 🥺🙏🏽
my first reaction after watching her performance was "I can't WAIT for you to cover it" It helps me understand just how much work she puts into it. Love your content!
Her voice has its on unique stamp. She definitely is in the room with JHud and Fantasia. All unique, recognizable, and powerful. Their voices always fuel up the soul. If your soul tank is low listen to them or some Aretha.
I don't know why you do, what you do. But brother this has been a rough week for me. On dialysis, Just coming from the transplant hospital. Overwhelmed with the cost and process. I found myself deeply depressed, in a very dark place. Until now, I didn't know what to pray for or how. You showed me away. May his well be done. I pray to be kept in the light. I've been surrounded by darkness. I pray he just keeps me where the light is. :( P4M......
I am so disconnected from pop culture I had no idea who she was and I'm happy to discover her! I LOVE your analysis and exuberance when people are feeling their songs and you can tell!! :)
hands-down she is the best on the mask singer!! I'm so happy you done this one smh you felt every note she sang .they better recognize. its so sad that for most of them going on that show is to prove to those who said NO or you dnt have what it takes but then u see people like Amber that proved that she is Definition of more than enough OH & WINS the MASK SINGER LOL... Jaron can you do Cynthia ERIVO singing( Aint No Way)!!!! lol
She sang and you gave the sermon. Amen and amen. I felt the spirit when I watched the finale but hearing it again and listening to that word you gave chile I had a praise break in my room. ❤🙌🏾👐🏾👏🏾
chills chills nothing but the chills! from the start, Amber refuses to let up. Her presence, her confidence. Like she knows she's about to EAT IT UP and foreshadows it like none other. She's one of my favorite vocalists. She may even cause to watch Glee lol.
I watched this live, then had to run that thing back, and again, and again, all the time letting the tears fall where they may, uncontrollably, stomping and praising to the heavens..BABYYYYY!! She SANG that...and YOU found that word in that thang!!! Yessssssssaaahhhhhhh!!!
I knew when I watched “The Wiz Live” that she could blow! There were times she had a Fantasia quality and sound (Gospel runs). Yes I enjoyed her performances on The Masked Singer. It’s time for her big big big break.
A friend sent the clip of the first performance. I opened it and two seconds of her opening her mouth, I said that's Ms. Amber Patrice Riley. Wait. I am not supposed to know this. Are we not supposed to guess( I never watched the show and didn't know how it worked) but I know that beautiful, phenomenal, distinctive wonderful voice. 🥰 🙌🏿👏🏿 I have been a fan of Ms. Riley since season 1 episode 1 of Glee. She's always been underrated and deserves all her 💐💐💐 flowers and every wonderful accolade and award in the world. She should already have that world wide career and all her performances and win on The Masked Singer and the former win on Dancing With The Stars did was gain her new fans she didn't already have plus remind her old fans of why we love her so.
Almost threw my purse, my shoes and whatever else I could grab at this screen. Phew! Didn't know what to do with myself, that was powerful. I agree with you, those stops she uses between the phrases makes it so clean. Yet there was no hesitation in her voice. 5:27?? Gem.
I love everything about this video… the breakdowns, the reactions, the testimony in the last 2 mins. Man, I was waiting for you to lose it! I know I did! ❤
Hallelujah , the girl took the audience to church ! Something to be said when singers go into the gospel with their voice ; they catch the Holy Spirit . Amen . 🙏👍🏻❤💯🎄
The, "Less is More" slayyyyyyyyage is REAL. The no vibrato is Killer,because it's the ultimate vocal control, when you HAVE power vibrato in your tool box. I LOVE Amber Riley.
When I tell you I've watched that performance over and over again. I saw Jenny bout catch the holy ghost and ain't know what it was. Babaaay, the anointing on that voice ...just wow
YES SIR!!! GLORY…HALLELUJAH…KEEP ME WHERE THE LIGHT IS!!!! GLORY, HALLELUJAH!!! BLESSINGS to YOU, AMBER! BLESSINGS, BLESSINGS, BLESSINGS! You moved me to a straight WORSHIP Experience in my living room when I saw that performance. Excellent, you sang that song! And, I believe, if you would have hung up on “Keep me Where the Light Is” when the music broke…I believe everyone in that audience and watching on the television would have been slain in the SPIRIT. It was just that POWERFUL! You would have shut down the ENTIRE FOX network. You had all of us CONNECTED to the POWER OF THE LIGHT! HALLELUJAH! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Jared, I am always blessed by your testimony. Blessings to you as well…Thank you for that word! Praise God! It is Well! To Go Be the Glory!!!
Listen on the first episode when I heard her voice I screamed that’s Amber. And I said this show is done. She’s going to win. I feel like it should’ve been Montell and Amber at the end. But he chose a bad song and left early. She is extremely underrated rated. Her tone is beautiful. She kills the high & low notes. The energy she had was unmatched.She made the show fun this season. The industry can’t even begin to respect her talent. To me she should be running on Broadway at all times her voice is a stage.
I knew it was Amber the first song she sang this season. One of the most underrated vocalist. periodt.
Her voice is just chefs 😘
Me too.
Ikr
Exactly. First notes she sang…OHHH, that is Ms. Riley!!!
so did i!!
Amber is slept on! She's a vocal master!
Listen!! Amber prepared the ground for you to sow! You preached! “Keep me where the Light is!” 🙌🏾
You better say that!!!
She certainly did! And yes he preached.
Amen
...now the benediction
And did
I didn't expect this preaching at the end, but I had to admit it was something I needed to hear, needed to feel this presence, and I didn't know it.
thank to you and amber for being intermediaries of something so big and magnificent as this feeling.
Same same same...thank you. I didn't know I needed that...
Her voice is recognizable. Amber is undeniably a beast with that God Gift. ❤❤
Yesssssss!!!
She. Bodied. This. The pace. Placement. Control. Strength. The peaks and valleys. Literally made me love the song.
Amber ushered in the holy spirit and it could have kept you there all day. "Keep me where the light is", on repeat😄 🤲 🙌🙌
She is a freaking vocal beast!!! Chills all through my body🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amber had brotha preaching at the end😭😭 keep me where the light is indeed my friend. Blessing to Amber cause she deserved every part of that win🙏❤️
You better preach, Jaron. You have me over here rocking and ready to jump out this seat
This video popped up and spoke something I needed, SEVERELY !
This was a good Word! Minister!

Slipped into full worship!!
Her voice is one of the most stunning voices ever
"Keep me where the light is"...I felt that!! You're amazing my dear. Keep up the great work! I love it!!
Did you just minister to my whole soul? Thank you sir for taking that liberty to impart some much needed hope and encouragement. That was a whole Word! Keep me where the light is!
Jaronnnnnnnnnnn!!! Don’t you starting nothing…. “Keep me where the light is!” Hallelujahhhh! I love your channel!!!! Song title is a word like no other… “keep me where the light is!” I’m listening at work, trying to hold myself together!!!!! Thank you!!!! Your light is shining!!!!!
YESSS! SOMEWHERE THE DEW DROPS OF MERCY, SHINES BRIGHT! SHINE ALL AROUND US BY DAY AND BY NIGHT! JESUS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!! YESSSSSS! AMEN!!
Amber “kilt” it every time she got on stage. This performance was my favorite. She can do anything and I’m here for it! She also won on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ Her Christmas movie was good as well. Amber definitely has a light of love and blessings shining within her. ❤😊
I will have to watch those.
She gave me chills with this song and with I Have Nothing. Her talent is boundless and her vocal control is crazy good! She deserves every good thing coming to her!
This performance was legendary. She is so deserving. She has everyone up in there.
Amber Sang this song like she was at church I know if I felt chills, the audience did to the choir put that extra topping on it . Beautiful vocals she took us to church, powerful voice 🔥💥
I know the focus is on vocal analysis and Amber absolutely slayed this performance, but dang, that arrangement of Gravity, the choir, the instrumentalists, and Amber working in tandem was just an amazing performance.
You better preach brother! Keep me where the light is. Got me shouting in my living room. Woooo! Hallelujah!
She definitely listened to Clark and Yebba's rendition of Gravity. I couldn't remember why a couple of her vocal choices sounded so familiar until I went back to listen to their cover.
You tried it!! 😂
That was definitely the Yebba run and that's ok.
Ok just went and listened to their version. Is my damn ears broken? Because both rendition are not similar at all. Stop trying to tear Amber down with the comparison. I do like their version also however definitely took me to church. Their version is airy and sweet, Amber's makes me want to get down on my knees and pray for forgiveness.

@Santiago this old black woman agrees with all you said.
Amber sang the mess out of this song!!!! One of the best voices ever! Baby the church in this performance is everything! I’m about to take off running!
If I could like this 1000 times I would. Your word at the end was just what I needed to hear! KEEP ME WHERE THE LIGHT IS!
God said “keep talking that talk, you’re not done yet” 😂🙌🏾
I mean that thing wouldn’t let me go! 😂🙏🏾
I literally cried when she started singing🦋💜
That whole word at the end of that video was everything! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💙
Amber Riley has a beautiful voice truly 😭😭😭
You had such joy reviewing her performance. I mean, how could you not? She's so enjoyable to watch and listen to. As always, love your analysis.
You Betta preach the word!!!! Jesus! Yes!!!! Amen thank you for the chills I'm getting as you speak of the Light!!!
'Keep me where the light is!' I am not a religious person, but Amber and Jaron got me on my KNEES!! I mean, damn...
I’ve heard this so many times but today is Christmas and grief is hitting me hard. I knew what she was going to do but you sir with that message has given me a little more courage to keep going. Thank you ❤ Lord keep me where the light is
You got this. Stay in that light. Gonna be praying for you ❤
You gave me a whole word at the end. I NEEDED THAT SO BADLY!!!
That performance took me out. Omg when I tell you I watched this so many times, its just crazy. I loved your analysis of this. Preach!!! \o/ Whew my goodness you went in Jaron! Yessss! Thank you!
She ended the whole song SLAM in her chest & I was HERE FOR IT ALL! She does NO wrong in my eyes, vocally!🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yup you and I are definitely living in Amber world.
Amber is an amazing vocalist and people better give her all the flowers. I get all the feels when she sings...EVERY TIME. Sang Amber!!!
I always enjoy your analysis and have mercy, Ms. Amber does it like none orher. What I did not expect was to have soul preached to this morning. Keep me where the light is, Yes Lord!!!! You could have no idea, but that was sure nuff a word!!!! Thank you for reminding me from whence come my help!!!!
YOU BETTA PREACH THIS JARON!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

John Mayer would be proud of this vocal arrangement
Please explain to me why they don't have Miss Riley do all the tribute performances at all the awards shows? She's a straight vocal masterpiece!!
I am so disconnected from pop culture I had no idea who she was and I'm happy to discover her! I LOVE your analysis and exuberance when people are feeling their songs and you can tell!! :)
hands-down she is the best on the mask singer!! I'm so happy you done this one smh you felt every note she sang .they better recognize. its so sad that for most of them going on that show is to prove to those who said NO or you dnt have what it takes but then u see people like Amber that proved that she is Definition of more than enough OH & WINS the MASK SINGER LOL...

Speak on it sir!!! Keep me where the light is! Jesus! That’s a word! 😭
Jaron you better come through with that word! Yes! And this is one of my favorite songs. She blew it out of the water.
She sang and you gave the sermon. Amen and amen. I felt the spirit when I watched the finale but hearing it again and listening to that word you gave chile I had a praise break in my room. ❤🙌🏾👐🏾👏🏾
You Betta Preach!!! Amber took you alll the way to church. Made me want to have a praise break after this analysis.

Welcome to Riley world 🌎 ❤️
chills chills nothing but the chills! from the start, Amber refuses to let up. Her presence, her confidence. Like she knows she's about to EAT IT UP and foreshadows it like none other. She's one of my favorite vocalists. She may even cause to watch Glee lol.
Exactly!
Omg! Your excitement for great singing is so infectious! I love it!!!
I watch her performances from “Glee” all the time and picture why someone said Lea is on her vocal level.
I watched this live, then had to run that thing back, and again, and again, all the time letting the tears fall where they may, uncontrollably, stomping and praising to the heavens..BABYYYYY!! She SANG that...and YOU found that word in that thang!!! Yessssssssaaahhhhhhh!!!
She's sending a message...
Keep me where the light is👑🔆 she's anointed. I'm in tears.

Yes, lord.
Amber is unmatched vocally. She has such a talent 👏🏾
This was Amber’s best performance on this show. She kilt it! She is very anointed and a blessing from God!
Oooh weee she tore this song up!! Also thank you John Mayer for writing so many beautiful songs.
I knew when I watched “The Wiz Live” that she could blow! There were times she had a Fantasia quality and sound (Gospel runs). Yes I enjoyed her performances on The Masked Singer. It’s time for her big big big break.
Love the way she plays with this song!!! Such a talent!!!
She is unbelievable!! 😍 her version is heavily inspired by Yebba's version of this song. No wrong in that, and she does do her own thing with it :)
I always get emotional when I watch your videos, especially the “gospel” ones. I can feel your emotion EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!!!
This is one of my all time favorite songs of that genre. You spoke a word sir! As long as we follow the Light we know we are on a straight path.
Preach!!!! I felt that in my spirit!
please do another one of her. i cant get enough of her
A friend sent the clip of the first performance. I opened it and two seconds of her opening her mouth, I said that's Ms. Amber Patrice Riley. Wait. I am not supposed to know this.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone. I agree Amber is taking us to church on Christmas Day. Always has been underrated.
Almost threw my purse, my shoes and whatever else I could grab at this screen. Phew! Didn't know what to do with myself, that was powerful. I agree with you, those stops she uses between the phrases makes it so clean. Yet there was no hesitation in her voice. 5:27?? Gem.

The, "Less is More" slayyyyyyyyage is REAL. The no vibrato is Killer,because it's the ultimate vocal control, when you HAVE power vibrato in your tool box. I LOVE Amber Riley.
When I tell you I've watched that performance over and over again. I saw Jenny bout catch the holy ghost and ain't know what it was. Babaaay, the anointing on that voice ...just wow

Jaron M. Legrair, I just love you! Wish you had been in my life as a vocal coach when I was a working singer. Halleluiah!!!
"Keep Me Where the Light Is!" 🙌🙏 Preach Jaron! 🗣🗣🗣
Listen on the first episode when I heard her voice I screamed that’s Amber. And I said this show is done. She’s going to win. I feel like it should’ve been Montell and Amber at the end. But he chose a bad song and left early. She is extremely underrated rated. Her tone is beautiful. She kills the high & low notes. The energy she had was unmatched.She made the show fun this season. The industry can’t even begin to respect her talent. To me she should be running on Broadway at all times her voice is a stage.
She truly remastered this song! I like the original but damn Amber please record this so I can add to my playlist
