"Glee" Tribute To Whitney Houston


Mercedes, You Go, Girl!

If you missed Tuesday night's Valentine's Day episode of "Glee" which featured the character, Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley), singing Whitney Houston's signature song, "I Will Always Love You", you indeed missed a stellar performance!

In response to the music industry's profound loss, the show's producers decided to dedicate Tuesday night's show to the late singer and they only had a little over 48 hours to pull it all together. Amber has a VOICE on her and, believe me... she maybe young, but she can stand her ground w/ the best of 'em.

I love Jennifer Hudson and she did a good job on the song at the Grammy's, given the circumstances. But, after I heard this, I have to give the nodd to Amber for nailing this song in a way that Jennifer wasn't able to that evening, probably because of her grief. Amber was much more focused and kept her emotions under control.

Please take a minute to view the video and listen to Amber's delivery of the same song. You will clearly see that this young lady has an extraordinary voice that many people maybe "sleeping" on. If you've never watched "Glee", by all means tune in and check it out on Tuesday evenings at 8:00pm on FOX. There are many talented young people on the show, but Mercedes is by far our shining star in this episode!
