I could not agree more about the tragic underuse of Amber Riley on Glee. It felt like her character and vocals were kept in a very specific box on that show. It was only off the show that we got to see the huge range of her talents. Thank you for spotlighting her in this video!
@@andreaLADE forreal I realized her and lea were potatential rivals vocally in the wedding scene in glee where amber casually busted out singing freaking full on opera and was like wtf she has been holding back this whole time
I love Amber Riley too. She had do a lot with this role in The Wiz. Also love her 2017 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in A Musical for playing Effie White in a Dreamgirls, and Audrey 2 in The Pasadena Playhouse production of Little Shop of Horror. At the moment she is focus on her singing with her new EP RILEY .
Thank you for discussing this number! Its one that's stayed with me since its airing. Her voice is so incredible and the number is just so much fun. Doesn't get enough credit. Whimsy and power can be deceptively hard to mix and pull off.
Yep, I was blown away! I actually started watching Glee because I wanted to see and hear more of her. I was like who is this girl singing like that?! Stole the show!
Yay! I bought this version, and want to make it an annual tradition for the fam. Also btw Ms. Amber just put out her EP. It's not broadway, but has bops!
Amber Riley is a Singing Goddesses and I'm not a professional, but I was so happy to see that every part that stood out to me was brought up in this video!!!
Amber is super talented!! Saw her as the Audrey 2 in Little Shop of Horrors and while she was not ever seen onstage, she did an amazing job with the vocals!! She was not used to her fullest on Glee which was a total crime!
I think you should do Alex Newell in Once Upon this Island, or this version of "I know where I've Been" from Glee. Like Amber Riley, I think Alex was not given too many opportunities to shine in Glee
Wow,, Amber Riley sounds absolutely AMAZING!!!! Thanks for doing this video, honestly never even heard of her before watching this. BTW you should review some songs from Hadestown! Currently in love with the show and all the unique voices in it.
I loved that you chose this, Marc -- THE WIZ is just pure joy, and Amber lives up to that here. I loved her on GLEE (before I quit watching the show in the 5th or 6th season, aghghg), and agree that I always felt she was shortchanged. Anyone who knows her work knows she's a fantastic singer, but (as she showed on DWTS), she can really dance, too, and again, GLEE showed very little of this. I love Amber's savvy pacing on the song here -- yes, she goes for some big moments for focus, but she's also generous enough to share those moments with her cast here. Great piece, and great choice!
My face when I saw this thumbnail was like 👀👀👀👀😍😍😍😍😍😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!!! She is INCREDIBLE in this... Thanks so much for doing it! We both react the same way when she gets her growl on! OK running off to watch your Hairspray video now!!!🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
That was incredible. I hope she gets cast in more things and is up front and center. I remember being super impressed with her on Glee but like you said there were a lot of characters in that show that weren't up front and center all the time. This just proves that she can carry a show stopping number and do it with grace and charm.
This is such a fun channel! As a classically trained singer (mostly opera), watching and hearing critiques and feedback on musical theatre is something I don't get to watch much. Just a completely different vibe. Thanks, Marc!
Watching her brings me so much joy 😍 She's like a fish to water when she's on stage and you can see how much she enjoyes what she does - this jumps over to even the audience on their screens and our feet start to wiggle to the music without us knowing it!
Marc, it's 11:15 in Massachusetts and I just had to watch this video before retiring for the night. I absolutely loved the television version of the THE WIZ. I had seen the original many years ago in NY. Yes, I was very young but I remember Ease on Down the Road. The audience was waiting for this number and they became a part of the show. Some audience members got out of their seats and were dancing in the aisles. WOW! But I digress. My only regret is not being able to talk to you directly about our experiences with this TV version. Marc, you have the ability to draw us into what you are sharing. I just want to sit down and talk to you at length. Thank you so very, very much! In addition to learning more about you (yes I am still asking) I would so much enjoy a vocal comparison of Patti Lupone and Betty Buckley singing With ONE Look from SUNSET BOULEVARD. I didn't mention Glenn Close because I was not at all impressed with her vocals but...if you feel that she should be included that's OK. You are the pro!
I'm sure you've seen it, but I would love you review her version of "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going". The BAFTA performance is particularly amazing.
She was definitely underused.. it seemed like they tried to bring her back after being gone for season 4 and some of 5 while she was winning Dancing with the stars. After that they bring her back and she sung a lot in season 5 part 2 but where she sung in season 6 it seemed to further the Rachel plot
You should react to her I Am Telling You performance at the Oliver awards. It fits the musical theatre criteria because there is a bit of acting in the number. The best rendition of the song in my opinion!
I saw Amber in Dreamgirls in London, she was fantastic! I would love to hear your comments on And Eve Was Weak from Carrie with Betty Buckley and Linzi Hateley or Elaine Paige singing Hymne a l’amor (If You Love Me) from Piaf at the Olivier Awards. Thanks!
Aww i remember watching this with my niece. It was so good. And amber really riffed on that note. Made it down and dirty. Hahaha throw your shoe!!! Lol is that a theater thing?
Loved her! I had never seen that before and it was amazing! I would love to see you do a review of joanna gleason doing moments in the woods with the prince and then the piece she sings by herself just after.
That would have been awesome to see him live! They did make a “movie” of his performance, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find. Love watching your videos, even though I can’t sing to save my life, but I can appreciate it in others.
If you haven’t already, can you review you can’t win and slide some oil to me by Elijah Kelly and Neyo. Spectacular. I love amber Riley. She has an amazing voice.
There are 2 videos, a Part 1 & 2, of the same song since there isn’t a complete full version of the tour performance. I did find one that was almost the full version, that also had good quality, but it has way less views compared to the 2 vids I mentioned cuz it was released way after the those vids were out. It usually stops at Donkey’s solo. If you want to hear the entire thing however, you would need to click on a video that is just the audio or just click on a bootleg version of the performance. Yr choice. The one with 2 parts and better quality is better tho.
I'm so mad at Glee right now. They purposely overlooked Amber to put her in the background. But, God had another plan! She's the only one from Glee winning accolades, awards, and publicity. Your critique is perfect!

So much so, that I didn't even realize that she had this in her until I started prep work for this video. She's truly something else.
She could give Lea Michele a run for her money!!
@@andreaLADE forreal I realized her and lea were potatential rivals vocally in the wedding scene in glee where amber casually busted out singing freaking full on opera and was like wtf she has been holding back this whole time
@@crispri3919 I don't think she held back. I think she was held back.
There is NOT enough shoes in all of the shoe stores in the world, to express what a phenomenal vocal beast Amber Riley is.
Perfection supreme!
Amber Riley is a freak of nature. Her voice is one of a kind. 😍 I LOVE HER
I love Amber Riley too. She had do a lot with this role in The Wiz. Also love her 2017 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in A Musical for playing Effie White in a Dreamgirls, and Audrey 2 in The Pasadena Playhouse production of Little Shop of Horror.

She was absolutely amazing in Dreamgirls, one of those really great moments in theatre. The whole audience was sobbing when i saw it
So happy that she won The Masked Singer. She needs to be noticed for her talent!
Thank you for discussing this number! Its one that's stayed with me since its airing. Her voice is so incredible and the number is just so much fun. Doesn't get enough credit. Whimsy and power can be deceptively hard to mix and pull off.
100%
Yep, I was blown away! I actually started watching Glee because I wanted to see and hear more of her. I was like who is this girl singing like that?! Stole the show!
YES WE STAN AMBER RILEY APPRECIATION 🥰👏🏾💕
When I close my eyes I hear a bit of Nell Carter. And when I open them...there is the incredible Amber Riley.
Thank you for another great reaction!
Thanks for this -I love Amber Riley and this whole production of the Wiz.
Agreed! So many talented performers in this production, including Amber.
Yay! I bought this version, and want to make it an annual tradition for the fam.
Also btw Ms. Amber just put out her EP. It's not broadway, but has bops!
This is the only modern live TV musical I've liked. Phenomenal from start to finish, and a template for how they should all be done.
Absolutely, definitely stands above the rest
Amber Riley is a Singing Goddesses and I'm not a professional, but I was so happy to see that every part that stood out to me was brought up in this video!!!
Never enough Amber Riley! She is always on point!
The Wiz was the very first Broadway show I saw. 1975. I was 10. It made a lasting impression on my life.
Amber is super talented!! Saw her as the Audrey 2 in Little Shop of Horrors and while she was not ever seen onstage, she did an amazing job with the vocals!! She was not used to her fullest on Glee which was a total crime!
100% agree on your last point. We never got enough of her on Glee
I love your unabashedly love of Amber Riley. She deserves it.
She tore that song up!
I loved this tv production. I was obsessed when it came out.
Omg same. Literally all the numbers were great but this one and the Emerald city vogueing were standouts for me.
I think you should do Alex Newell in Once Upon this Island, or this version of "I know where I've Been" from Glee. Like Amber Riley, I think Alex was not given too many opportunities to shine in Glee
I love her... And that little moment when she got her get down on... It was so hilarious... And she sang her ass off
Wow,, Amber Riley sounds absolutely AMAZING!!!! Thanks for doing this video, honestly never even heard of her before watching this.
BTW you should review some songs from Hadestown! Currently in love with the show and all the unique voices in it.
I will get to them soon, I promise.
YES!!! We never had enough of her in glee!!!

Bahaha. 💕
she is AMAZING!!! And seeing her here really really makes me miss Glee. ♥
FINALLY ❣️❣️❣️❣️I have been patiently waiting for this. I love her and the show. It was my first Broadway show back in the 70's.
Ahaha. So sorry to make you wait so long.
That was incredible. I hope she gets cast in more things and is up front and center. I remember being super impressed with her on Glee but like you said there were a lot of characters in that show that weren't up front and center all the time.

Aw, thanks so much Laura. Appreciate that.
Love Amber Riley so much. Hope we get to see more and hear that beautiful voice she has.
Great video as usual... she won an Olivier for Dreamgirls and there's a vid of her singing Listen with the young lady who plays Deena. It's great!
Watching her brings me so much joy 😍 She's like a fish to water when she's on stage and you can see how much she enjoyes what she does - this jumps over to even the audience on their screens and our feet start to wiggle to the music without us knowing it!
This is such a fun musical and underrated in my opinion. I did this in high school my freshman year (way too long ago lol) and it was so much fun!

Hahah. Thank you Roberto. Yes, you've made this request many times before and I am ashamed I havent gotten to it yet. Definitely soon.
I'm sure you've seen it, but I would love you review her version of "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going". The BAFTA performance is particularly amazing.
love this! amber is incredible
Love Amber and loved the Dorothy here singing Home. Would also like to hear you review Johnny Manuel singing Home-he's simply lovely.
She was definitely underused.. it seemed like they tried to bring her back after being gone for season 4 and some of 5 while she was winning Dancing with the stars.

I love your channel but when you get a chance please react to Amber Riley singing and I am telling you at the Oliver award show.
Thanks James. I'll do my best to get to it soon

Wooo my reaction request!!! I'm in the notification gang gang lol
Not going to lie, this was all your doing. 😂

I knew very little about The Wiz until I saw this version streamed by The Shows Must Go On channel during the 1st UK lockdown, and I was blown away!
Thanks Marc‼️

Powerful!

If she sung mama will provide i would die
And that was LIVE on national TV! ❤️❤️❤️ Have you seen Queen Latifah who also performed LIVE in THE LITTLE Mermaid?
No, I'll have to find it.
@@MarcDanielPatrick I have to say I’m really enjoying your videos! Keep em coming! 🤩
Sweet green glowing orb.
Please react to Amber Riley at the Olivier Awards!! She performs 'And I am telling you'. I would love to know what you think of it.
This stage version of "The Wiz" was SO MUCH BETTER than the movie version...
I love love love her I think she is one of the people on the mask singer

Search: Amber Riley. Taco Tuesday.
YOU ARE WELCOME.
(...also Terrell Show performing her EP.)
Yes do 2 reactions to Taco Tuesday!
Can you PLEASE react to Alex Newell singing “Mama Will Provide” at the Tonys
I'll go look for it, for sure.
@@MarcDanielPatrick thank you so much
@@MarcDanielPatrick Alex Newell's If I Were a Boy from Glee. My God, you will cry.
Can you please do “We got it” from this production
Amber is awesome. I agree that they should have shown her more on glee
do all of the wiz movies
I know this is old school, but have you ever considered a video with Donny Osmond? He was so good in Joseph! I am curious what you think of him.
I actually saw him live in Joseph when I was in Grade 3 maybe? If I could find a video of it, I'd be happy to.
That would have been awesome to see him live! They did make a “movie” of his performance, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find. Love watching your videos, even though I can’t sing to save my life, but I can appreciate it in others.

Hey Mark, where did you get the Kryptonite?💚
Bahaha. Its my Philips Hue bulb. Clearly I need to hire a set decorator...

I would love for you to do Amber ‘s performance in Dream Girls.

Thanks for the new video- do you think you could react to Empt Chairs At Empty Tables by Michael Ball?
Idk what song but something Billy porter sings needs a reaction hahaha. Maybe “Hold me in your heart”
Mmm. so true. I will get to something of his for sure!
I'm so mad at Glee right now. They purposely overlooked Amber to put her in the background. But, God had another plan! She's the only one from Glee winning accolades, awards, and publicity. Your critique is perfect!
Oooo, your light is green! Maybe on purpose??

Can u ever stop pausing it
