Can u please react to marley rose on glee aka melissa benoist? 🥺
@@kianahvrolijk3811 up
Could u pls react to speechless by naomi Scott in Aladdin the actual music video pls
You have to hear Amber Riley sing it again years after this. She played Effie in dreams girls west coast show and you ain't see nothing yet when she sing the entire song
Could you please react to Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist 🙏 😍
The fact Amber said she wasn't a big belter before glee is WILD when she was delivering the biggest, healthiest belts on the show since day one
I mean- she already had near perfect breath control from being classically trained so that probably had something to do with it
@@islandeatssand684 100% that would have helped her a lot but belting itself is not easy and she picked it up amazingly!
Except after glee she had damaged vocal chords and had to have surgery on them and then learn how to belt healthier after the show
Not to mention "I Bust The Windows Out Your Car." Amber is spectacular. She outshone Lea throughout the series.
the fact that everyone's reaction it's genuine because she was actually singing makes me scream
Not glee, but I love your icon 💗
scream without the s
really ? dammnnn
The fact she sings this live just gives me the literal chills
She did?!! Omgg
@@mariloom Yeah she actually did !
Even though they put the studio recorded song in the episod, all of their reaction in the choir room are real cause she was singing it live !
I would've loved to see the live version !
I love when they paired Amber and Naya's voices in Glee. I'd recommend both River Deep Mountain High and the season 3 mash up of Rumor Has it/ Someone Like You
yes to both of these!!!!!
Amber and Naya always had the best duets. Such powerful voices.
Loooooved the mash up 😍
unpopular opinion, i don’t like that adele mashup
You should react to Rachel singing to love you more by Celine Dion!
Side note: After glee ended, Amber had a run as Effie on the West End and she won an Olivier award for it
Her version of one night only is insane, she's so talented.
I saw her during her run and was fighting back tears listening to her perform this live. The energy in the room and the applause afterwards was amazing.
I was lucky enough to see her performing as Effie during her West End run. She was absolutely INCREDIBLE, tbh all of the West End cast were amazing.
She won a British Tony and Tina (Jenna) both won Tony’s before Rachel (Lea) who in the glee world was supposed to win a Tony in 2020
@@BAMOORE94 what’s a British Tony? It’s just called an Olivier award right?
I’m SO EXCITED to see you watch this! By the way, she preformed this live on set and everyone’s reactions are genuine!
ikr she’s just so incredible
Lmao nah man, they are actors and their characters were impressed in the storyline, so they were literally just acting impressed 💀
Also: she sang along to the track as they recorded the scene, but the vocals in the clip are not from that moment
@@uninspired9451 they put the track over it but what the actors are hearing is Amber actually sing it live. Both Kevin and Cory said she did that scene live.
@@johnlathers4430 yep, that’s what I’m saying too
@@uninspired9451 The close ups shots and others were in character and for the story, but when she sustained that long note and they lowered the sound so you could hear them all reacting, that was 100% genuine
Amber Riley is sooo underrated. She was the best part of Glee and deserves everything in the world and to be even bigger known than she is but you're not ready for this conversation
FACT
can we talk about her performances on masked singer and us glee fans being like YEAH WE BEEN KNOWWWW 😩😩😩 Amber has always been TOO GOOD
Amber has some of the best breath support I’ve ever seen! You can really tell she’s classically trained.
You have to have amazing breath support to sing a song this big. It is NOT for a sweet and delicate voice.
I would say that I have a big and powerful voice but I’m also classically trained and I can’t do that … That’s just pure talent
YES! More glee. A great song with Amber and Naya is River Deep Mountain High, and The Boy is Mine. You should 100% check out more Mercedes, and while you’re at it some more RILEY too. She has some amazing songs she made herself and some live hits
@@benconover2227 yes I’ll add it
Yes! River deep mountain high is one of the glee songs I still have. Smooth criminal with 2 cellos and shake it out. 🙌
Amber is one of the best vocalists in the planet.
@@diegocastaneda2655 yes! and yet she's still extremely underrated. It sucks
THIS OMG
For a little context with Rachel's expression I believe this is the scene where Mercedes is showing Rachel that she's not the only one who can do a power ballad solo, and Rachel finally gets her head out of her ass and she sees how talented Mercedes truly is.
In six seasons Rachel still couldn’t get her head out of her ass
And Amber showing Lea that she's not the only one who can kill a ballad😏...but that's a story for another video.
@@TheNiknak14 They were friends at the time though. 🙄
@@grahamellis3547 sorry that comment killed me 💀😭
@@Kikiricki11 Im cryin isnt amber one of the people who talked out about how shitty Lea treated the cast like 90% of the time they were filming and how difficult she was to work with??
The most unbelievable part of this whole episode is them showing students walking by the choir room while she's giving this stellar performance. People would be stampeding to get closer to this powerhouse.
The fact that she sings this live makes it so much better!!
And sang it live for 2 more takes after that.
I don’t know if anyone’s said this yet BUT the reaction of the glee club is 100% real. They recorded this scene her first time singing it but obviously put the studio version over the video !!!
I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS!! Amber Riley is the best singer of the whole show, she nailed in every single song. I recommend "Ain't No Way" and "River Deep Mountain High" that Naya sings with Amber and it's AMAZING
Both of these are some of my faves !
There are three female outstanding voices on the show. Amber, Naya and Lea
@@EduardoMoraless i totally agree, they're amazing singers
THOSE EXACT SONGS, SHE JUST HAS TO REACT TO THEM
I can’t believe this is the first time you’ve heard Amber Riley sing this. She is, by far, the best vocalist on Glee. Her power, range, vocal control, nuance, and vocal color make her one of the best of her generation.
amber didn’t have to go THAT hard but she did and we stand this queen 👑 i get chills every time
It'd be lovely if you reacted to Amber singing this song at the Olivier Awards, I was blown away by this performance even more than by the Glee version. I think it shows her vocal progress quite well. Amber sang it on the Glee set live and was exhausted by the end of the song, while years later she sang it after being nominated for her role in Dreamgirls and having been singing her heart out 8 times a week. She's an excellent vocalist.
ua-cam.com/video/nrsSf1RpHOc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AmberRiley
yes! that performance makes me cry everytime
And she won the award actually!
100% YES!!!!!!!!
This part.
this is literally one of the best performances of mercedes on glee
One of the best performances on Glee full stop
@@SimsinWonderland definitely
Amber was classically trained even before Glee, so she already had near perfect breath control and a really good foundation
The fact that we didn't make Amber Riley this iconic R&B/pop legend after this show is a crime against her.
RILEY actually performed this live on set and omg shes amazing! The actress went on to be the og west end Effie in Dreamgirls and performed in the Oliver Awards! Shes sooo good!
please please pleeeease do "ain't no way" by her. it's one of the most incredible performances on the entire show and that's saying something. her voice has so much strength and passion. i could listen to mercedes' songs for hours on end and never get tired.
This is my favorite performance by her. So underrated but one of her best!
Yesssss and her performance of Try a little tenderness
I legitimately though Hannah was about to CRY when Amber hit that high note. And I don’t blame her😂
I am in TEARS over her. It’s a voice she never knew she even had until Glee-she was trained classically. 🤯
Please do some of the Santana/Mercedes numbers from glee! Amber and Naya's voices together are pure POWER
Rumor has it / someone like you. Theyre so great together!
My favorite part about this performance back in the height of my Gleek days, was when Rachel smiles even for a second acknowledging that Mercedes was a great singer even she couldn't deny it.
I cannot get through this performance with dry eyes; doesn't matter that I've seen it an innumerable amount of times over the past decade... it's just so good.
The live performance of her singing this at the Olivier Awards is amazing she has just gotten better as she matures
Finally!!!! I was waiting for it! Mercedes was so underrated on Glee and Amber Riley is a faboulous, singer. I really hope you will react to more of her songs! Also this is on season one and her voice was already amazing but the more the seasons go on the more her voice gets even better if possible. She is truly a jewel and between the women she is definitely the one who has the whole package considering her huge voice range. I think only Alex Newell for me might be around the same level, I mean from the singing POV. BTW, THIS WAS LIVE so...yeah. Just for you to know. :D
Mercedes and Artie were the two most underutilized characters on Glee.
@@YupOkayThx true! and they made the best duo besides sancedes
One of my favorite Mercedes' songs is "Hate On Me", it's SO good!!
Yes I love that one!
SAME!
Her mix is probably one of the best I've ever heard, it sounds so good.
You would love her version of Ain't No Way she did on glee. It is incredible!
I get LITERAL chills everytime I hear it and it makes me tear up every time
Sometimes i feel like reactors are missing out by not hearing the full recorded version because oh my gosh I totally forgot how much they cut out of the video. The full version has so many more vocals to critique and ngl the end I was sad you didn't get to see her full mixed belt
I love all the reactions of the characters watching her sing!
cuz she was doing it live
The great thing about this song is that everyone's reactions are genuine. They hadn't heard her sing the song until the camera started rolling.....❤❤❤
I'd recommend watching her preformance of this at the Olivier awards. She won the award for this role, if anything she gets better.
I saw her sing this live on the West End and it was AMAZING. The best singing I’ve ever heard. At one point I just had to close my eyes and feel it. I’ve never been to a musical where people applaud mid-song!
I’ve always loved Amber’s rendition of this song, but I’m kinda floored by what you said about mixing the head and throat voices. I’ve had 3 vocal teachers throughout my teenage and college years, but never heard anything about mixing the voices. I used to think the crack in my vocal range was here to stay, but now I think I just had bad teachers. I guess I’m trying to say thank you for providing that explanation for why vocal cracks happen and that you can smooth them out.
i forreal started crying bc of how good she is!! i feel honoured to have heard her, she’s so so talented
She performed this role on the West End in Dreamgirls . I’m sad I didn’t get to see her but her understudy was amazing. This song come at the end of the first act and it’s the only time I’ve ever seen a standing ovation before the end of a show!
I would love, love, love you to listen to the Glee version of One Less Bell to Answer/A House is not a Home. Kristen Chenoweth and Matthew Morrison are magical together. Unbelievably underrated number imo.
I’m obsessed with that number
One of my absolute favorites on the show!
Yessssss
They were seriously one of the best duet pairings in the show. Every time they sang together, it was gold!
she’s literally a vocal goddess, i love her voice so much, please react to more of her performances in glee! ( river deep, mouting high - the boy is mine - lean on me - try a little tenderness - ain’t no way…)
This was her don’t rain on my parade moment!! She killed this!!
"I'll Stand by You" covered by Amber Riley is amazing as well!
That one is in my top ten.
Yes, yes, yes. Love the glee content we're being fed here, Amber is a m a z i n g. Now for a dedicated Kurt video, there's a gap in the market, and I'd die
Agreed, id love to see one of his first early solos, roses turn
YESSSS I'd love to see her reaction to his G5 in Not The Boy Next Door!!
"Being Alive" and "Rose's Turn" are his best songs, honestly the only decent ones.
Amber is honestly such an absolute goddess! You should listen to her live. Studio recording? Amazing. But hearing her sing live? I don't think you could handle that it's just so mind-blowing! I love her sooo much!!! 😍
This is my favorite song from s1 and I literally freaked when I saw the thumbnail and immediately got stoked to see you hear this jawdropping cover! Always gives me chills!
I would actually love to see you react to their "jump song" (the mattress king episode). You can truly hear how high Mercedes range can go in that song and it shocks me everytime I hear it 🤯.
I don't love that song but I listen to it just for that part!
Oh man, went and watched the commercial and it wasn't the same. The ALBUM version though - wooo Mercedes wails so good!
@@stevejenks9940 I've only seen the commercial version. I'll have to give the album one a listen.
*React to Rachel singing 'To love you more', it's one of her best performance*
And then for Amber to perform in Dreamgirls on the West End and win an Oliver award is beyond amazing! Full circle moment
This is HANDS DOWN one of the BEEEEEEEST performances on this show. Amber Riley is not human. Incredible. Period.
Another good glee cover I'd recommend is Kurt's cover of Rose's Turn, amazing vocals in that song like chef's kiss ✨
My favourite version of "And I am telling you" is sung by Titus Burgess for Broadway Backwards. The emotion and the vulnerability he brings to the song as well as his incredible voice make for such a powerful song. Gives me goosebumps every time
I love Titus
YESS FINALLY!! u should really check “ain’t no way” by her too! is my favorite solo performance
The performace is flawless and seeing Rachel genuinely smile at it always gets to me showing that Mercedes can be that good to get Rachel to forget about her warped perception that other people with an amazing voice are a threat to her accomplishing her dreams.
This performance was one of the BEST by far!
Amber Riley is phenomenal. I love how Hannah looks so amazed. All of Mercedes songs are great I recommend all of them. Another great song in glee is If I were a boy, its sung by Unique whose played by Alex Newell. Its amazing.
Agreed
She's incredible. One of the best voices out there. I will never understand why she hasn't become a bigger star! Make it make sense!!!
Amber Riley is one of those annoyingly talented people who can sing the hardest songs you've ever seen, nail every note and make it look like she's mentally checking her grocery list because she's just that damn good!
Girl that’s like 1 or 2% of what she can do especially her high notes gotta love her 😍👸🏾
waiting for Hannah to listen to “river deep mountain high” and lose her absolute mind at Naya and Amber’s voices together 😭
So early! 😊🙌🏼😊 Edited (bc I was so amped to be first that I posted before watching, lol) to say that this reaction - like this freaking performance - is perfection! I just submitted this at your request page, but if you want to see GROWN Amber in her full glory with another INCREDIBLE vocalist, check out Amber singing Never Loved a Man w Shoshana Bean... they are vocal royalty and it is so freaking fun! :)
I love watchig your shock watching this because even though I've seen it no less than 100 times, it's still my reaction. I still get the chills. I still can't even. It's unfathomable.
Ain’t no way was also like this she kills it no issue every time Amber sings I get goosebumps
always excited for the glee reactions !!
YESSS GLEEEE!!! I'd love to see you react to a Kurt solo (I think you'd love Not The Boy Next Door, it's easily his best solo showcasing a large amount of his range)!! He's a countertenor and I feel like that turns alot of people away from reacting to his songs because it's such a rare voice type. But he's SO talented and his range is INSANE!!
Should have seen her version live at the Olivier awards! I saw her sing it live, literally the best vocal performance I have ever seen!!
I don't know how I haven't commented on this video before, but holy Christmas ham, she's SO GOOD. I freaking love Amber Riley with all my heart, she is just- UGHHh omg
The little squeals I'm trying not to do because we're running a play right now is taking so much self control. I love her so much, she's brilliant.
I had the chance to listen this from her live... It was magnificent, i remember crying at the end of it. This video is nothing compared to her real talent, it was SO GOOD.
She was ALWAYS one of my favorite characters on this show! I LOVE MERCEDES and AMBER RILEY!
Seen her do this on Broadway absolutely amazing!!!
You should definitely watch "In a heartbeat" from High school musical the musical the series. It's probably my favourite song. It's beautiful and sang well, in my unprofessional opinion.
If you like Mercedes' (and Rachel's) voice(s), you should react to Take Me or Leave Me. One of my favorite duets from the show.
Amber was great. Alex Newell sang it in an audition on The Glee Project, too. Sarah Ikumu sang it in an audition on Britain's Got Talent and got a golden buzzer and standing ovation.
The ending in the studio version of this song is so amazing
LOVED this one, she really does move mountains with her voice. I just started watching your videos yesterday and I adore them and your vibe! SUBBED. :D
I love your videos Hannah, I die laughing every time you geek out over singers, It's hilarious, but also totally understandable, Amber gives me chills too!
She sang that live and they had to put the studio version on top because all of the cast were cheering and reacting like so crazy good
I wish they released the real scene to this day with the real audio
Too this day this scene makes me Cry just in Tears streaming down my face i love glee i love my favs omg this is one of my favorite songs
I absolutely love when you post Glee reaction videos! Glee is such a comfort show for me and I listen to these songs and covers constantly. Some of my other personal favorites that would be awesome for you to check out are Cough Syrup by Darren Criss, Baby it’s Cold Outside by Darren Criss and Chris Colfer, Valerie by Naya Rivera, When I Get You Alone by Darren Criss, Rose’s Turn by Chris Colfer, and Chasing Pavement by Melissa Benoist! Thank you so much for all that you do!
baby it’s cold outside
YESSS I LOVE WHEN YOU REACT TO GLEE
The reactions of everyone in the glee club were probably them not even acting they were just mesmerized by those vocals
I don’t know how no one was crying when she sang this, every time I watch this I get teary eyed🥲🥲
If there is one singer on Glee who can match Queen Amber, it's Jake Zyrus. He only played a guest role (he played a girl character), but he had, I think, three solos. "Listen" is probably my favorite. You should totally react to it. He's also covered "And I Am Telling You" on TV when he was like 12, and did so FLAWLESSLY. Definitely up there with Amber, in my opinion - though I'm by no means a professional.
Definitely not, but that’s ok. I’m glad that you still enjoy him and use his proper pronouns rather than misgender and dead name him like his other “fans” though.
I feel like Alex Newell is a decent match now but his technique wasn't very good at the time that he was on the show
Also yes Jake is incredible. I'm pretty sure he's improved his technique a lot since his transition too
@@SuperPianogirl123 Yeah, it's so odd, they're "fans" but refuse to respect him in the most basic way? Make it make sense. I just went back to that "And I Am Telling You" performance (he was 15, I was wrong), and it left me equally as stunned as Amber's. :)
@@islandeatssand684 Oh damn, how could I forget about Alex? :O Yes, Alex is up there as well 100%!!!
Sunshine was a reccuring character -- in the first episode of s2, she's the one Rachel famously sent to the crackhouse out of jealousy; Night of Neglect; and the season-end Nationals.
I submitted The Break Up episode from season 4. That episode has some of the best songs in the entire series all in one episode.
This is literally the ONLY performance i go back and watch it over and over again from glee
LOVEEE THIS VIDEO 💜 her voice is amazing i get chills every time i watch glee. she’s my fav character
You should react to “Take me or Leave me” when the two divas, Rachel and Mercedes face off! That’s gooood!
Amber also won an Olivier for her role as Effie!! She performed And I am Telling You at the awards show as well! ua-cam.com/video/nrsSf1RpHOc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AmberRiley
that color looks SO great on you!! (that dark red)🥰🥰
So lucky to be alive in the same time frame as Amber Riley 🫶🏼❤️❤️❤️ Soooo talented!
Dessa vez deu pra ver o arrepio!kkkkkkk,gente o berro que eu dei com essa música não foi humano!!
She sang this live to get a genuine reaction from the other cast members
What I love is not only was this song sung live, but the fact that the producers knew they couldn't top Amber Riley's voice with heavy autotune (like they've done so many times with different cast members in the past) just goes to show the strength in her voice and how much her raw vocals really hold their own
The fact that this is over a decade ago, and she's gotten even better since then - and she was already amazing then! - is just incredible..
you should definitely check “not the boy next door” by kurt!!!
You should react to Sugar Motta (played by Vanessa Lengies) doing her audition song of Big Spender. It's... an experience.
"Spotlight" Mercedes is amazing :)
i’d love to see you react to tick tick BOOM! it’s incredible - i’d recommend 30/90 or louder than words but they’re all fantastic!!
