  • there is no doubt that mercedes is amazing but rachel has the better broadway voice. just my opinion

  • Perhaps this story line would have worked better if they weren't fighting over the role of Maria. I LOVE Mercedes but there is just no way she can challenge Rachel for the role as it doesn't fit her voice. There are 3456789 musicals and yet they picked the one where the storyline doesn't make any sesne.

  • mercedes is just outstanding...reachel is awesome too but i just think mercedes has more of a capability to adapt to different songs and still make them appealing to the audience. PERFECT VOICE !

  • i just hate when people say, black people like mercedes because she is black, thats a lie, this girl is talented and its true, am white, and i think this girls voice is the most powerful voice have ever herad, what does color have to do with this, i just dont know why? this girl is TALENTED and YOU know it, its the fact, and stop hating btw, if u dont like r y r u on her video, i just dont understand ugh

  • rachel is the best i think but that just my opinion

  • This Song and this Video needs more SPOTLIGHT!

  • Every time I here her sing this song i get shivers, she is simply amazing!

  • rachel is annoying i like mercedes

  • well i dont like livin under your spotlight

    

  • This. "Despite all the Mercedes love here, I just have to say this: Rachel will always end up being better. Not because of the fact that she's got a more powerful voice, or that she's the powerhouse of the Glee club, but more because despite everything, she IS perceived as the shining star. Perception from the writers is really all that matters. Mercedes is amazing, no doubt about it, but Rachel brings with her amazing acting, dramatic episodes, and one hell of a powerhouse-like voice."

  • At this point i do think maybe mercedes did go a little overboard in my opinion but when your right who says what is too much? i dont understand how people can say oh mercedes was right but she was being a drama queen the fact is she was right and for three years she was right and just took it and now you see what happens when you neglect a powerhouse somebody else makes her a star

  • Her voice is very beautiful.

  • Mercedes is the best !!!!!

  • I love Mercedes! Rachel is good, but not Mercedes good. The other day my friend told me that the only reason I love Mercedes was because she is black and im part black. That had absolutely nothing to do with why I love her. When she sings this song, I feel passion in her voice. Something inside of me sparks. She's amazing and I just started watching Glee and I already love her. And when the did the Maria off for West Side Story, I thought Mercedes was way better! Anyone else agree?! Let me know!

  • I personally think Rachel voice suit musical while Mercedes voice suit this type of songs!

  • I think that it's time they let other people other than rachel sing...just somebody else.

  • 0:02 replay button :D

  • Rachel and Mercedes sucks! Thumbs up for Sugar!

  • I'll be the first to say that Brittany and Tina were great in this song aha :)

  • WANT MORE SANTANA SOLOS! SANTANA ROCKS!

  • What Rachel is better? That's crazy, it's obvious whose voice is stronger

  • Oh my goodness! Mercedes sang with real heart in this song,and so beautifully. I also think Rachel is good,in some songs like Pretending,Get it Right,Loser like me ect. No one is better because they both are amazing,beautiful,and talented. Thats all that matters.

  • @Taesha6723

    Mercedes sings with her voice

    Rachel sings with her voice and her heart

    Besides Rachel is different, and her voice is the sweetest

  • Merecedes is very talented,she has a really pure strong voice,and Rachel is good,but her face looks weird when she sings she makes a frowny face lol,but they are both talented,I also understand the song,I guess she's saying thay she's tired of Rachel always being in the spotlight and that it isnt fair and stop so she's saying that she's going to step up and beat her at getting the role of Maria(:

  • rachel gets on my nerves, making all these faces when she sings

  • Im a dude... Is it okay if i like this :$

  • Mercades and Racheal? Whats wrong with the top comments?!

  • They have very different voices; I'm not sure I can see Mercedes as Maria, but Rachel would be the generic choice. There are some songs that one of them can sing that the other would just not be able to do.

  • ONE WORD: A W E S O M E ♥__♥

  • Great :-) i love u Mercedes!

  • Tina needs more solos!

  • and i'm telling you.. she's not going for Maria.. (8)

  • you can argue about mercedes' voice, but rachel has the full package.. she could carry a show on her facial expressions, she doesn't even NEED to sing, which is why it's so fantastic when she does :)

  • I'd just like to say that, while she sang very well, she had a terrible audition for a musical. She picked a song in no related to the style of the show, and only demonstrated her vocal talents, not her abilities as an actress. Rachel should have gotten the part on that basis.

    Just.

    Saying.

  • I can see rachel being a better maria... can you imagine mercedes singing with blaine as lovers? no.

    mercedes is so good at singing but for this rachel is better

  • ahhh im sick of rachel OMG my saver mercedes

  • I love them both ok!!! lolz I cant help it, they both are amazing!

  • Team Merdedes FTW!!!

  • she sound better den jennifer hudson lol they need to give santana some solo's .. she gotta nice voice too ..

  • hudson version: great, soulful..

    mercedes version: new vibe, Diva..

    both totally on different spotlight... :)

  • thumbs up if mercedes is the best DIVA

  • @shikara24 that's what i'm sayin!

  • @Taesha6723 and heather morris!

  • Mercedes has a better attitude, better hair, better style, better voice! Boy you gotta be ashamed of yourself, Mr. Shue!

  • MIKE CHANG

  • sugar needs all the solos. screw santana, rachel, blaine, kurt and mercedes. jk.

  • I'm tired of both the Mercedes and Rachel talk. How about Santana?? Brittany? Tina? Quinn? Hmm?

  • So many comments with a load of likes. o_o Lolz

  • Rachel or Mercedes? How about Santana?! She kills it EVERY time. And she's versatile! Which y'all need!

  • who originally sings this song?

  • Mercedes and Rachael are the strongest singers and they prove to be near equals. In both the first and second diva off they proved themselves powerhouses. However this diva off goes to Mercedes, she has a richness in her tone that went well with the song out here on my own, while Rachael has more of a pure voice good for musicals and such.

  • This is the best mereceds song!!!!!!! She deserves some solos. she is better than rachel!

  • 47 people can't live under the spotlight.

  • Love her, But RACHEL forever.

  • wow she's fantastic!

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • mercedes is an amazing singer and all.

    but i was kinda of staring at brittany the whole time

  • This song changed my opinions of Mercedes so much.

  • cada ves mas linda esta mina

  • Mercedes has the best voice on Glee. Rachel has a beautiful voice but cannot sing everything she sounds better singing musicals. Mercedes was better in this episode

  • I think ppl shouldn't compare. Rachel &Mercedes are both great singers. They are both such powerhouses &honestly Mercedes killed it when she sang this song. I love her rendition of it and I would love to see Mercedes solo for a competition for a change but I didn't like her character in this episode at all. She seem like she was being too much of a diva. She had a point that Rachel does get majority of the solos but she didn't have to go about it the way she did.

  • All I gotta say is..

    MERCEDESSSSSSSSSSSSS CHEA!

  • This song IS Mercedes.

  • So glad to see everyone of the talented young people share the "spotlight"! A wonderful performance. Kudos!

  • Forget Rachel and Mercedes, SANTANA NEEDS ALL THE SOLOS!

  • @shikara24 sii santana es la mejor xD

  • OOOOOOOOOOOOH LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • loved it glad mercades sung this and no1 else

  • great song.

  • i love them both and i think they sing both as well

  • Jennifer hudson tweeted her last nite!

  • Forget Rachel and Mercedes, SANTANA NEEDS ALL THE SOLOS!

    

  • Amber has such a great voice <3

  • i luv amber riley, girl can sing anything :)

  • Voices like Mercedes, there are a lot out there. But Rachel's is more unique. plus better if u ask me. RACHEL FOR THE WIN!!

  • don't hate on racheal >:/

  • glee s3 ep4 promo in my channel :)

  • Personally I think Tina should get Maria

  • for such a good voice i would like to hear mercedes more...but all she really gets do is back round and high notes at the end of songs that she didn't get to sing. She's much better than that.

  • Mercedes and her boyfriend are so cute together <3

  • naww 0:07 to 0:13 - Chris getting all comfortable ;) I love him!

    Amber sang this song so beautifully but I just can't warm up to Mercedes. For 3 seasons I have tried to like her but I just can't... Amber has such a beautiful voice though :) I love Amber, just not Mercedes! I can't wait until November :( I think waiting 6 months for Season 3 to begin was enough waiting! <3

  • "boy you are to be ashamed of yourself~" Rachel's a boy?

  • Jennifer Hudson + Mercedes/Amber = EARGASM.

  • I like both Rachel and Mercedes , but ... Mike FTW !! ! Haha

  • I dont get it. Rachel puts in tons of work and is constantly trying to get to the top and will do anything to get there, and Mercedes doesn't do a lick of work and refuses to change yet complains when she doesnt get her part? She expects too much.

  • Mercedes is kind of making me hate her with her bratty ways. It's like Kurt said, Rachel's ambition does push-ups in her sleep: she works really hard for the attention she gets. Mercedes expects it just to get handed to her; she won't practice or rehearse or take criticism and then she wonders why she doesn't get the spotlight. She needs to learn it's possible to go after what you want without being a bitch.

  • Mercedes doesn't get as much respect because she is fat. If she looked like Beyonce or Rihanna she would definitely give Rachel a run for her money

  • Wait, what is the reason mr.shue can't direct the play again?

  • Omg it starts tonight

  • Beautiful

  • I am the Mercedes to the Rachel of my school 

  • I am the Mercedes to the Rachel of my school :P

  • aww. rachel looks so sad.

    Mercedes and Rachel and both superb in their own ways!

  • Another song where the girl blames a guy for her misery. But if a woman meets a guy who'll treat her right and a 'bad boy' which one does she give her number too? Fail.

  • I love Mercedes but I think that Rachel is the one that has the type of voice which is appropriate to a musical.

  • I think Tina deserves that song cause she never get the spotlight or they ruin the few solos she had like when she sang "I Follow Rivers"

  • IM SO HAPPY THEY ARE FINALY DOING A JENIFER HUDSON SONG!!

  • @Taesha6723 racheal is way bettr

  • Mercedez would sing this song ! Lol

  • Actually Mercedes, I'm pretty sure Rachel gave up her turn in the spotlight on more than one occasion....

  • i love mercedes. And i love that she didn't go all crazy diva in this song and kept it real and true to mercedes

  • I love Mercedes but Rachel is better and i love her

  • I love the voice of Mercedes and she sings beautiful but when Rachel take the stage she is like a god!

  • goosebumps.. :S

  • Mercedes... you don't get the part of Maria by singing top 40! You gotta sing the broadway showtunes!

    If she gets the part, I'm really going to be mad. Rachel IS Maria.

  • Kurt blatantly sexting Blaine ;P

  • i dont think shes good for the role of maria maria is soft innocent and mercedes is a diva

  • I love Mercedes but like i always tell my sister who hates Rachel, its not about who can hit the most notes its more who can fit comfortably into the song, take it, and then make it their own. Mercedes has a powerful voice that cant squeeze into all the no talent pop songs. Rachel has a low key powerful voice which is why she can take the no talent pop songs and make them amazing. This was a nice version but i've been for Jennifer since day one. :D

  • Mercades has SWAG!

  • sorry Mercedes and Rachel,but Santana is far better than you two.

  • so I completley understand that Rachel is stealing the spot light, but Mercades voice isn't really fit for the role of Maria. I lover her and all ( she's like me 3rd favorite character other than Blaine, and Kurt!(:) but Rachel seems like she fits the role. But other than that, Mercades should get solos more often than Rachel

  • if anything i wish santana would audition & get the part. lol.

  • OMG ! This Girl can sing really good, She has the best voice on the show, FINALLY she is getting more solos on the show. I mean why can't Rachel share the spotlight for once she is not the only good singer on the show. I mean how many times have rachel given u solos for merecedes. I can't think of that many. Merecedes is a senior to she deserves the lead also. You Go Girl!

  • rachel needs this solo for university, mercedes is still a junior , she is amazing but she can have the spotlight next year! rachel really needs this!! :D

  • I love mercades but rachel is way better!

  • @BabySharkSong rachel is a self consumed bitch that most people hate, mercades is better

  • @BabySharkSong thats your opinion

  • Mercedes is such a diva!

  • omg

  • Sorry, Mercedes, I know you wanted the part, but when you have Rachel Berry in your group she is forever Maria.

  • Mercedes has the better voice, im tired off Racheal she gets the most solos they need more Mercedes solos and Santana solos like if u agree :3

  • @Taesha6723 I So agree!

  • @Taesha6723 and brittney

  • @Taesha6723 Definitely true!! I think even Tina should get waaaay more solos!! And not just because my name is also Tina haha. I think she is one of the most underrated characters on the show...would love to see more development with her character.

  • @Taesha6723 Don't forget about Tina!

  • i understand her point basically it seems as if rachel gets everything and mercedes doesnt. she dont think its right and she tired of living under the spotlight of rachel berry * sooo. . . and im a guy who watches this w/ my gf and she made we watch the first episodes of season 1 and now im a gleek *im straight* but uhmm im lost is sue still a hater to glee ?

  • Her voice might bot be right for the roll

  • I think being in love does her good. I love the way Mercedes sings. She is so good. hehe

  • I don't think either of them will win...just to throw us off. Mr. Murphy would do that.

  • Kurt and Blaine weren't sitting together something's wrong with them:(

  • @78903pinky Blaine wasn't even there :(

  • I feel sad for Rachel, for what I saw on the promos, everyone is trying to make her give up the role... It's unfair, the best will win, and to me: Mercedes has a more powerful voice but acting is not her passion, she wants to be a star and stuff, but she is being really selfish...

  • Tina is soooo pretty

  • Interesting...Santana is back in Glee club...How did that come about?

  • who originally sings this song?

  • @TheSparklyLion1 Jennifer Hudson

  • Rachel is an amazing singer but she always gets the leads sometimes it feels like " Rachel and the new directions" so I think Mercedes should get the lead

  • Soundin' good and lookin sexy mercedes!!

  • Aww at 2:06 Rachel looks so upset:( Sorry Mer but my allegiance lies with miss berry:)

  • Well, I agree that we hear Rachel A LOT but we also know how hard Rachel works for it, I mean come on guys.

    Also, out of context, this video looks like Will and Rachel are together and Mercedes is jealous of their relationship. (At least the beginning of it xd)

  • yay!! so cool....bougt time sum1 shows and stands up 2 rachel....mercedes luv ya u go girlllll!!!x

  • yay!! so cool....bougt time sum1 shows and stands up 2 rachel....mercedes luv ya u go girlllll!!!xx

  • FIERCE!

  • As much as Mercedes smashed this, it's still all about Rachel! But i bet the show will do what it always does and make Rachel look the bad person and Mercedes to be the unappreciated talent when really Rachel is the one who deserves the role for firstly, looking the part, secondly, sounding the part and thirdly, busting her ass to get everything she gets, unlike mercedes who has already admitted before to not feeling the need to rehearse. Team Rachel all the way! :)

  • Oh, guys? Do you really think that? Rachel and Mercedes are awesome but it's time to Mercedes sings too even doesn't win the caracter on the musical. Mercedes is as great as Rachel, and Mrs Shue has been looking only for Rachel in this years. I really love Mercedes's voice.

  • Who broked a leg?

  • i frikkin love mercedes, she slays every song :)

  • I love mercedes <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

  • Though it is true that Mercedes is an AMAZING singer, this is Rachel's future on the line here (Mercedes will RULE that school next year). Rachel needs this role to help her get into school!! And she is totally TALENTED en0ough. but of course this is just my opionon and of course life isn't fair :P

  • when glee comes to the netherlands?

  • she has a beautiful voice!

  • rachel is perfect for maria :)

    TINAS NOT GOTH ANYMORE :(

  • Mercedes needs to work for it like rachel does

  • i so love this performance, way to go mercedes. ur the best!

  • i so love this performance.. mercedes, wat to go girl. ur the best! :D

  • Amazing Amber*_*

    I'm the only who wants a Tina solo?T_T

    Go Tina!!:)

  • Amazing Mercedes*__*!

    I'm the only who wants a Tina solo?! Go Tina!!!:)

  • Amazing Mercedes*__*! I'm the only who wants a Tina solo?! Go Tina!!!:)

  • her voice is incredible!!! 

  • Honestly, both are very talented but Rachel works harder and to me that means she deserves it more than someone who admits she doesn't practice. Also, Mercedes makes NO sense in the role of Maria. She could be Anita (though Santana would do that better too) but as Maria, she doen't have that in her.

  • this is just the perfect song for this situation!

  • Solo heeeeeeeeee

  • wow this is awesome she blew me away!

  • Mercedes is an intensely soulful and excellent singer, but like Kurt, I'm not sure she's right for the part. Not because of any discriminating factor, she's just not hard working enough nor does she really seem like Maria to me in a way Rachel does. Just a thought.

  • Awkward moment where Mercedes gets MARIA

    And Blaine gets TONY

    And they kiss...

    Blacedes (;

  • Sure she can sing. But her diva attitude is waaaaaaaaay out of line! Want something? Girl WORK FOR IT

  • Why are Tina and Brittany always the backing singers?

  • How come Brittany and Tina are always the backing singers?
