Amber Riley has one of the most, if not the most versatile voice in the business. She does Gospel, R&B, Broadway, Soul, Pop and now CW like a Chameleon changes colors
Don't forget opera 😉😂
and she sounds the same in every song. nasal. light. no depth.
Yet was the was the MOST UNRATED character on GLEE.
@@helloworld17778 imagine lying unprovoked 😂
Aretha,patti,Adele,Cher,Stevie and Celine would definitely like to disagree
Now I want a country album of Amber Riley singing covers of 90s RnB songs.
This!!!!
We need to make this happen. I could produce.
Actually….This is a dope idea! She’d kill every song!
Same!!!
FOR THE CULTURE!
It’s the hard R’s that had me rolling! 😂
@@dd4850 ... yeah, but the joke now is it's more country this way... with the hard r
😂😂😂😂😂 I was thinking the same think! 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Swameh exactly what is that person above talking about 💀
Well, that's how we do it down here. When people try the soft R southern accent it's so annoying. She did awesome! 🤌
And the yodels!
Wow, I actually love her country rendition of the song. Her voice is very pretty.
Me too.
It's ugly.
Pretty is overused ! an insult to the word. Her voice isnt bad
@@MaspetsTalking about yourself, huh?
@@cookiemonster8184 Oh, you sound upset.
The yodel in her voice! Good lord she’s such a phenomenal singer!
Yes! The yodel was banging! 😂
Something i never imagined was Amber Riley making yodels
Nailed it Amber!
facts!
She sure did!!!
I love it! She's basically yodeling and emphasizing every R she can find
😂
💯
I guess Dolly Parton be yodeling too...( sounds similar)....if your jealous...just say that
@@leahhuguley5943 are you saying yodeling is bad? Cuz it's an art form and dolly does it amazingly. You shouldnt insult dolly or amber 😕
@@leahhuguley5943 He wasn’t insulting her! He actually complemented her! It’s all good!😂
Who knew this was a version we didn't know that we needed
Right like it was jamming
Right!
Amber Riley singing a country verson of Waterfalls while Donny Osmond and Boyz II Men lock arms and swing...didn't know I needed that until now...and I enjoyed it
Me too!Loved it!❤❤❤
Those were genius vocals!
Geniussssss
I think Amber Riley is just like Kelly Clarkson where you don’t want either of them to cover your song because they’ll do it so much better than you😂
Absolutely 💯 💯 😂
LMAO. Yaaaaaaaas.
dead 😂😂
Same thing with Demi Lovato
Truth.
Amber Riley was sensational! She can do no wrong vocally IMO. Watched her much deserved win on Masked Singer. She also won Dancing with the Stars. So super talented! 😊
Thank you for sharing that she won Dancing with the Stars! I had no idea, and now I love her so much more! What a star she truly is! ✨
@@ChristaDeana STILL the best winner in my opinion.
SPOILER
@@ChristaDeana As if that show denotes talent.
This young lady can sing the phone book and make it sound fantastic. Such a God given talent.
Are you serious Amber???? You killed this!!! She needs to do a country album now. LOL
Yea I don’t think so
“Nother body laying cold” was from a different dimension. I mean faithfulness to the dialect with the word choice and powerful and clear vocals. I’m Shooketh!
Damn! Waterfalls would've been a huge hit on the country western charts too!
She is a musical treasure and should be WAY more famous. ❤
That Part!
Totally agree!
Say that!!!!
Seriously!
Those glottal stops for the yodel-like whines was top notch. She's amazing!!! I kinda want her to cut a country album now. The Rile Rile West.
She should do a whole country album
It would unfortunately never make it to market…black country is niche.
@@rhondajohnson4124 Yes. It’s such an easy style to excel at and imitate.
Oh, No! Beyoncé tried that and got shut down. The WS gatekeepers don't want Black artists in Country Music because of fear of competition. They are afraid we would take it over, and we would. Funny thing is country western music is a genre that was created by Black artists. Check out Ray Charles and Charley Pride earlier recordings and many other Black country artist you'll never hear about. Amber Riley is one of many examples of how Native Black Americans shine despite all the obstacles that are put in our way.
@@tionamos9402 so obviously you haven't heard of Darius Rucker, Kane Brown, Brittney Spencer and Mickey Guyton ! I suggest you look them up coz they are amazing black country artists, CURRENT and loved !
@Rhonda Johnson Darius Rucker, Kane Brown, & Charley Pride are all very successful black country singers, but I do agree that it is a rarity.
Absolute Perfection ❤💯
She performed that like she’s been wanting to do that her whole life… PURE PERFECTION!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The child is so multitalented especially vocally. She sang opera on glee; Amber can do it all. I would love a cover album of her doing songs like this. Like Paramour but make Kpop or something along those lines. But each song is different with a different genre.
She’s a grown woman
Ma'am she is 36 years old
“Child” is a term of endearment in the black community. When used in the way I said it doesn’t mean an actual child.
@@adey126 not only that but also when the elders speak (especially in the south) they speak in this manner. It’s spoken in love.
@@Yahvessel853 Exactly.
I’m only two years younger than Amber but have watched her career ever since glee. She was my favorite one the show and I have wanted the best for her ever since as if she was my own child. She has nothing less than my love and respect.
Riley UNDERSTOOD the assignment!!!
Amber can do no wrong. She's so talented.
Amber is soooooo talented, I’ll take her on talk shows and reality competitions but I really want her on my screen in long form. Give this gal a show…
She needs her own hits also. Like Whitney, Mariah.....
She is one of the most underrated talented people in the industry. Sis is trained👏🏾👏🏾
That cover was fantastic.
We just witnessed musical genius. This is real talent. Pay attention to her country licks that sound like an authentic country singer. Only REAL singers can do THIS!
Amber is a multi talent queen love her fantastic cover need a full version now🤩❤
I agree
Talented and beautiful-that’s Amber Riley!!
This needs to be officially released! Go Amber!
I've never seen or heard her before, bul she sure did nail "Waterfalls" with a country western vibe.
She's from the TV Show, Glee. She plays Mercedes Jones.
She has also won the British equivalent of a Tony, for her Performance of Effie White in Dreamgirls on The West End in London.
@@babd7176 Oh wow! Thank you!
And she's also the only black female to win Dancing With The Stars! Just look her up her on CZcams....she will pop up all over! She's that gifted!!!!
She won the masked singer as well.
Who knew we needed a country version of TLCs masterpiece..... amber you are too talented and gifted by half
WOW! Amber worked that all the way out!! She's an amazing singer, but to be able to sing "Waterfalls" in the genre of country/western? True talent and versatility. That was great!
She can literally do ANYTHING. She's brilliant all day every day. what a gift.
Amber Riley slayed singing TLC’s Waterfalls in the country music version. Indeed her performance was sensational 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

And this is why I love Ms. Amber Patrice Riley! I don't care what song you give her, she's always going to SLAY IT!
I hardly ever like cover versions of songs that are nostalgic to me but this one is definitely a keeper 🤩 what a fantastic voice too!
She's so talented! Simply superb.
How has this not been into a country song before!?! This is awesome!! ❤
Idk how often she sings country at home, but she effortlessly nailed the little inflections they use in their voices. Incredible.
She looks AMAZING, pure beauty.
Such a rich, versatile voice. I loved the little yodel/twang she dropped in.
OMG she's A vocal beast she nailed it.
Omg she ate that! The country nuances and twangy placement are so spot on
She is one of the most underrated most talented individuals in Hollywood.
Riley is such a musical beast! She should be a bigger star, her talent is unmatched!
Amber never disappoints. :)

Totally nailed it! If I closed my eyes I would swear that was the Chics doing a cover! AR has such versatility in her voice! Awesome talent!

“I KNOW THIS ONE I KNOW THIS ONE!!!” Amber, baby, we can tell. ❤
Can this be a proper version? Please - it’s awesome!

She’s unbelievably talented 🤯
Amber Riley. Truly unsung but you are getting your much deserved kudos and flowers!

My good sis AMBER RILEY DID THAT!!!!! Love her. She can do no wrong in my eyes. Super beautiful and extremely talented. I had her EP, Riley, on repeat for 6 months straight. There is nothing she can't do. Love her.
Wow that’s amazing, what a voice 🥳🎉🎉🎉👏👏…yeeha!! 🤠Hope there’s a season2 of the show 😀👍
Not surprising she won the recent Masked Singer in the USA!
@@astrologerdawn1200 Did she…That’s brilliant. The Masked Singer is ace. It’s mad as a box of frogs 😂😂😂
I've always liked Miss Amber but now I love her.....Country is one of my favorite genres....Well Done Amber🥰👏

Amber ate this up!! Period! But I have to say I SCREAMED when I saw Jade Novah as a background singer! I have to give it to her; she’s definitely booked and busy in these streets!!
Seriously! I blinked for a while. “ is that damn JADE NOVAH?”
Couldn't imagine this song as country. Until this moment
How is Amber not all over the radio? She is AMAZING!
Absolutely stunning it's really sad how this Industry hasn't snatched her up but it s ok God has other avenue s for Miss Riley you keep on singing and blessing us your reward is coming.God has it already in order.
