  • 12 dislikes? Must be everyone else in the glee cast...envying these stars. :)

  • This is epic :D i just adore her voice!

  • AHHHHHH! Mercedes is my GIRL!

  • Dont get me wrong i love mercedes but i hope they stop making her acting like a DIVA!!!

  • @haylz143 Please..She is Mercedes. She's been a Diva since the 1st season. But I do admit she has some PIPES!

  • Mercedes is great and extremely talented and amazing don't get me wrong. But lets not pretend like she has the best voice in the glee club.

  • @kellinicole42

    um, she kinda does.....

  • @GLEEKFOREVER14 Rachel is the star of the Glee club if she wasnt she wouldnt get all the Solos

  • playing this synced with the original is phenomenal! It's like a duet.

  • @Gramasule omg your right!!!

  • @Gramasule and then turn down the volume of this vid to get the right volume of the two,,,,,,its epic

  • Mercedes is NOT annoying or a b**** Mercedes is just influenced.

    Examples: S1Ep.3 : Mercedes had feelings for Kurt when she knew he wasn't straight Influence: Santana She told her Kurt was feeling the same way

    S2Ep.17 :Mercedes going all diva

    Influence:Lauren. Mercedes, on the advice of LAUREN,has spent time making outrageous demands to her fellow club members to gain respect from them and to perform the final number.

    S3Ep.3 Everything was ok with Rachel but after.. Influence; Her boyfriend.

  • This is the kind of music Mercedes needs to sing. Not all those crazy belting notes all over the place and runs in places that don't need to be there. This really showcases her talent.

  • @jasoncervantez I agree. Out Here on My Own should have been her solo. she sounds wonderful singing it...

  • Wow. She should totally do "One Night Only". She'd nail it! Mercedes.*_*

  • i need to go read a dictionary so i can reassure myself that the spelling of the english language hasn't changed. nice spelling, guys.

  • i really think people wouldn't argue that much about Rachel if it was Santana or Brittany who were wanting the spotlight instead of Mercedes. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but everybody gets on their side when it's them.

  • season has been a disappointment :(

  • @thomasfy4 dick #2

  • See that dislike bar? No, me neither (;

  • @beaiskewl24 i can see it now

  • hey you guys, i agree with all of the comments complaining about Mercedes, but don't complain about Amber cause shes a totally sweet person, completely opposite of her character. just like lea is a very cool person, non like her aggravating character Rachel.

  • my song

  • This was the only thing I liked about Mercedes in this episode. Her bitchy diva attitude was out of control. She's a very talented singer but she has to find another way to get solos,

  • i hate having new directions broken, but i love amber (and NAYA!!!) having a solo like every episode. i disliked mercedes in this episode, but this song rocksss

  • haha this is a really greattt music video...

  • ok this is just a show people they are not like that in real life just enjoy the song the whole point of glee is to enjoy the songs sure little drama but its not that serious this is fictional people...

  • These are tv characters. Is it really their faults?

  • 5 Likes- Ill sing to myself

    10 Likes- ill sing to my X-BF (We both still like each other and broke up cause of the situatipon this song is explaining)

    20 Likes- ill sing on youtube

    30 Likes- iill write my own version and sing it on youtube

  • I think its Mr. Shue's fault that Mercedes left New Directions. I mean, she wasn't feeling well, and Shuester's all like, "I've been telling you for weeks to clean up your act!" Jeez.

  • Mercedes is my fuckin' girl <3

  • This was the perfect fucking song for Mercedes!

  • I'm starting to think i'm going crazy...i've never seen so many spelling errors in my life...

  • I'll probably sound like the racist mixed girl, but how come when Rachel goes all diva (which is always) nothing happens and they just look at her crazy, but then they make Mercedes leave the group? and then Santana leaves and gets outed...AW.

  • @KayQuarius actually Rachel was always bullied...made fun of, put down in some way cuz she was a push over and still is. All three girls need attitude adjustments though

  • @aeris44 I agree, I meant like the tv writers though.

  • I hate how on every video there has got to be some dislikes. But anyhoo, this here is my favorite song that was sang by Mercedes!!!

  • who's reaction was ouch well i hv somit 2 say 2 u u hv nooooo taste

  • This is a great rendition! I love it!

  • Its's Mr Shu :\

  • I'm so glad Mercedes is finally getting song time. her and Santana have the best voices on the show.♥

  • dont hash tag on youtube or facebook you just look dumb

  • mercedes sings it better than the original :)

  • wat da!!! when was this sung??? i must have missed an episode! D:

  • @HyperAmygdala 2 epsiodes back, there was a few weeks break after this one.

  • it sowndz eggzactileeeee lik thee ohrijuhnul

  • @TheCyd9 What the hell? I am losing all faith in humanity. Please go try your first grade English class again.

  • @SweetheartRules what that dude meant was it sounds exactly like the original if u happen to wonder what the heck he's saying. :)

  • best mercedes song in glee ever. #nuffsaid

  • GAWD I LOVE THIS SONG. GO MERCEDES! <3

  • troubletons <3.

  • I was soooo happy when they covered this song. Im not kidding, i almost cryed!!!

  • I love this song....like love it. This means so many things everyone has a way to relate to it.

  • The verses had nothing to do with the storyline it was awkward watchin Mercedes sing this while looking at Rachel lol

  • @DKDiva804 she wasnt try to tell a story to rachel, she was looking at her beacuse she was showing rachel how determined she is to win the leading role

  • I can't stop listening to this song........ <3

  • The backing singers do sound like Heather Morris and Jenna Ushkowitz kind of...!

  • you guys do realize....Mercedes isn't 'real', right? O_O

    ANYWAYS.

    i love this xD

  • @Kitty4TheWin whataya mean she isnt real :(((

  • @jrobyn28 nothing! nothing! D: don't be sad! nuuuu! D:

  • ive been waiting SOOOO long for glee to do a song like this!!!

  • is that you?

    really ask yourself.rightnow.

  • This song is so good. Rachel disliked this

  • whats with the big paragrphs?

  • 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.

  • I don't get why everyone is calling her lazy just for one episode. Who auditioned for the solo in season 2? Who sung at their benefit concert? Who was the one that offered to play a transsexual man when no one else would? Mercedes! That's not working hard? She has always been seen dancing in the other performances but in this episode she just wasn't feeling good. Hasn't anybody ever just not feel well enough to work? Hasn't anyone ever been late for school at least once? Yeah! we all have.

  • @LighteningXT9 I think you're so right..she did what she could and thats amazing! so she didn't practice that dance move but except that she is not lazy at all

  • Yes Mercedes Has a Great Voice, but she needs to stop complaining all the time about not getting any solo and start WORKING for it!! She even said that she didnt practice before singing in "Funeral"! Rachel work her ass off to be on the spotlight! being in the show meand a shot at NYADA that means a shot to be a broadway star! She even agreed to share the role while Mercedes no!!

  • Jeez...I feel like we should have "Team Mercedes" and "Team Rachel" stuff. Move over, Twilight.

  • Is that you?

    Is that you?

    YES! NOW SHUT THE FU*K UP!

  • ITS NOT REAL GUYS ITS JUST A TV SHOW...god

  • So much drama rama..

  • Mercedes owned this song. Better than Hudson's original, which is tough shoes to fill.

  • i hate people commenting in paragraphs its a show we like drama in the show if there wasnt any it would just be like any other show

  • *Scrolls down*

    *Sees all comments in paragraphs*

    *Scrolls up*

  • @juxmook

    hahaha i seriously just did that XD

  • I think Mercedes is right about wanting more stage time but she goes about it in a completly wrong way. Like on any team the coach (Mr. Shue) rewards those who work hard. Rachel devotes her life to her singing. On the other hand, Mercedes expects things to be handed to her, and when they're not, all she does is complain.

  • @srfs4life962 Thanks! For Once I'm not the only one who think that!! Rachel work her voice day and night! She wants to be in the spotlight and she does everything for that! Sometimes I Really wonder why she don't transfer to Carmel High! Mercedes just complain that she don't get any solo! They TIED at sectional b/c Rachel wast singing in Season 2!!

  • @srfs4life962 i totally agree with you

  • @srfs4life962 Thank you! Finally someone who agrees with me. Mercedes has an attitude that won't go far in life. Sure she's allowed to have one and get mad when Rachel gets every solo but she needs to work for it.

  • @srfs4life962 Amen!! I'm really starting to dislike her this season :/

  • @SimmyRoberts dick

  • so at first i was team rachel, but see, im in band. and i was second chair for 3 years. then i got moved down to sixth because of one test. SIXTH. i got so pissed, then worked uber hard, and now im back on second chair (although i still aim to be first soon). so now i DEFINITLEY see mercedes' point of not getting the spotlight her talent deserves. you go mercedes.

  • is that you?

  • I LOVE THIS SONG! It describes everything that Mercedes has gone through and other people living in other people's shadows!

  • i liked mercedes but now shes being a plain bitch!

  • I'm sorry I cannot agree with people saying Mercedes overreacted. That is just silly. She finally stood up for herself, and how she acted toward Rachel at some points were wrong, but can you blame her? Rachel was pretty much condescending during this whole episode. (Oh and overreacting is sending some to a crack house because you were afraid they would still your spotlight)

  • @icantsaythatido I agree with you 100%. 

  • @icantsaythatido I agree with you so much I can't even SAY. People exonerate two series' worth of Rachel's horrible, horrible character, and then Mercedes stands up for herself- admittedly in a manner considerably more strident and nasty than was perhaps necessary- and everyone kicks up a shitstorm.

  • i love this song buti think Mercedes should get BEYONCE'S SONGS.. just saying

  • i agree she probably deserves better songs and such but she doesnt have to be so arragent about it, i mean grow up and deal with itt...... and that song they sung to her fit perfectly....

  • Mercedes overreacting and being a drama queen/victim! Making out everyone is picking on her when they are not!

  • I seriously love this song and this performance of it. Sums up Mercedes perfectly.

  • Maria is a triple thret. Mercedes, can sing. She can't act all that well, and she sure as hell can't dance. Rachel? She's a triple thret. She is fantastic at everything in the arts world. Lea is amazing, and still amazes me every time she opens her mouth. Also, Rachel needed Maria to even have a shot at getting into NYADA. Mercedes has never once expressed any interest in getting into an Arts school.

    So back off Rach.

  • @mad4twilight97 Although I agree with some of your points, I completely disagree with the idea that Mercedes should have given up her opportunity to give Rachel a chance to get into NYADA. In what way should Rachel's future be Mercedes' concern? It's RACHEL'S fault she failed so catastrophically to prepare for what she claims to have wanted since she was four; if Rachel wanted it as much as she claims, she'd have shut her mouth and done WORK to get it, rather than clutching at straws.

  • I think mercsades should have gotten the part. but i like rachel better. they should let others sing too besides just 5 people. I think this season's songs should go to the singers that are graduating on glee.

    But good song for mercsades!!!!!

  • I don't think Mercedes was right for the part of Maria anyway Rachel was better for the part. Although I do love Mercedes voice, especially in this song

  • i love this song ~<3

  • This song isn't about her audition. It's about her life, not everything is one dimensional in this show. This song is amazing for her, it really moved me. It made me love Mercedes.

  • I hope people realise this is just a show...

  • everyone sshh this song is A-MAZZZZINNNGG! MERCEDES RULES :)

  • omg <3

  • @808scanlan I might agree with you if I knew what you just said. I'd decipher it, but the Caps Lock is giving me a headache.

  • people, mercedes DOES get moments in the spotlight! who's always belting out the last heartstopping note as emma says? MERCEDES.

  • @IsabelLuvs2Sing precisely. the only thing she gets to do is belting out the high notes. she wants to sing not just swaying in he background and singing the high notes

  • RACHEAL DIS RACHEAL DAT GUESS WUT ITS MERCEDES TIME TINK OF IT HU GOT MOST OF ALL THE SOLO'S RACHEAL HU IS ALWAYS MAKEING CHOICES RACHEAL HU THINKS SHE I BETTER THEN EVERY!WOW U GOT IT RIT RACHEAL WEO MERCEDES IS HERE AND AINT GONNA BE THROWN TO THE SIDE OK AND THEY BOTH SING GREAT BUT COMMON LET'S FACE IT RACHEAL THINKS SHE IS BETTER THEN MERCEDES NEWS FLASH MERCEDES IS WAY BETTERAND IF U GOTTAH HATE ON MERCEDES Y YALL COMMENTING ON HER SONG SHE SANG HAHAHAH RACHEAL AINT GOT NUTTIN ON MERCEDES!

  • @808scanlan oh come on, there both AMAZING mercedes isnt better and neither is rachel the both EQUAL and rachel actually has a lot on mercedes and MERCEDES AINT GOT NUTTIN ON RACHEL AND THATA THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • And I don't like Finn's voice very much, I think Mr. Schuester and Artie have a better voice compared

  • My favourite singer is Tina. I love her voice, as compared to rachael and mercedes. Although the two have really great big explosive voice as compared to Tina, Tina's voice for me is more serene, and she needs to do more covers! Both of them and Mercedes,

  • I don't feel like this is a whose better contest, their both great and we all know it, but this is "Glee" not "The Rachel Berry Experience". Rachel gets damn near everything and for a group that is supposed to support the underdog alot of them get overlooked and for the most part the whole issue is sloppily resolved as "lets do whats best for the group"(even though that always benefits Rachel).Glee is supposed to be a place where ALL of them can shine and i just want to see that happen

  • AMBER DID AMAZING ON THIS SONG!!!

  • love it!

  • this one of my favourite amber riley pieces, both she and lea michelle excel in their own way, but i loved their voices together. i say rather than be team rachel or team mercedes, lets make team 'merchel' :)

  • I really don't get it whAT is the meaning of that Dodge Balls in Glee????

  • @avvy010 - didn't you ever have to play dodge ball as a kid. The freaks and geeks always got targeted in that game.

  • @avvy010 What I mean is theres anything that the Dodge Ball relate to tHEIR SEASON??????/

  • okay, all you guys saying who you like better in glee i just want to say, that it ISNT fair. the only people who sing alot is Rachel, Kurt and Finn. i say they should let other people have a chance. Marecedes and Artie have amazing voices, but everyone goes straight to Rachel and Kurt, an its getting on my nerves -.- let someone else get the spotlight! everyone on glee are AMAZING singers but seriosuly, let other people get a chance

  • Loads of comments are like massive paragraphs, and I'm all like... I like food.

  • I love both Rachel and Mercedes. But to be honest Rachels audition was better. Mercedes has a amazing voice but in my opinion rachel has an incredible voice! i like rachels voice better.

  • @DaneeB98 i agree with you all the way.

  • Mercades is AMAZING singer! I think she did the right thihnk about standing up to Mr. Shoester (how I spell his name) and Mr. Shoester kicked her out. He always talked about its okay if you lose if you had fun. BUT KNOW HE'S BEING SO MEAN! Rachel may be a good singer but look at this song. Mercades been waiting for a solo and never got it for 3 yearss. So she is done with everything. Rachel IS a A**kisser as Mercades put it. That was suppose to be a safe place for people. BUT ITS NOT!GO MERCADES

  • i think that it was very obvious that someone from new directions would leave and join shelby's glee club, and it was a mistake that the writers did it. i think they should have taken someone new, and show us that they are creative. i suppose and i hope that mercedes would be back at glee club soon.. it is just not good to put her in shelby's club for my opinion.

  • all these comments about her being a diva, her character has waited 2 years for a solo.. and never got one because that 'ass kissing' rachael as mercedez said, so good on her :p

  • I really like Rachel, and I like Mercedes, and I think that the compromise was good, but it was Mercedes boyfriend who made her act like a diva.

  • I hate how there are a lot of other talented people in Glee and yet Rachel and Finn get the spot light. The Warblers were kind enough to vote on Kurt being apart of a duet. But Mr Schue relying on Rachel and Finn just because he wants to win? Just grr. It'd be nice to have Artie or Mercedes or Puck or even Quinn do some main singing.

  • @lillian90005 Finn getting the spotlight? That's not even true, his 'spotlight' has severely decreased. He barely sings anymore unless it's just for like five or so seconds. If anything it's more or less Rachel & Blaine at the moment. Don't get me wrong, Darren Criss is a huge inspiration and I love him but it's true. And Rachel, well she is the original main character so yeah.

  • @lillian90005 - Rachel and Finn was the start of this show. W/O them this whole storyline won't go anywhere. So stop complaining. The rest do get their spotlight, but we are focusing mostly now with Rachel, Finn and Kurt as they are leaving the show. -Thanks!

  • @lillian90005 True but Sam and Quinn got a solo so but yeah I see where your coming from maybe if he gave Mercedes some solo's shw would still be in Glee club and same goes with Santana but yeah I think he is gonna give some solo's to Blaine but I think Puck should get loads every time he sings it gives me the chills!! In a good way!! :) Love his voice but I do love Kurt!!

  • Why does Rachel always have to get the lead part??! this should have gone to Mercedes for once!

  • Alright, for all you people arguing about rachel vs mercedes, this would be amazing sung by either of them. it just suits mercedes better because rachel definitely has a broadway voice. thats why somewhere suited her so well. k.

    This song is amazing<3

  • Mercedes finally stood up 4 her self im sad she got kicked out but im glad she actually got a back bone this season

  • Can we listen to the beauty of the song and not fight about who should of sang it? Mercedes did an awesome job, and if Rachel had sang it, it would have been as equally great. They are both wonderfully talented.

    So haters, shut the hell up.

  • This song is so catchy! :)

  • Does anyone feel like this song is actually talking more about Kurt and Blaine's relationship? Kurt is technically living under Blaine's spotlight, even though Blaine tries his best to share it.

  • This cover gives me chills. <3

  • @taylortaylor690 I totally thought of that as well, but they sang It's All Over from Dreamgirls that made the part look like the scene so the song would match... or whatever.

  • is me or dose any one else think that Mercedes might be pregnant... think about she felt nauseous during glee rehearsal she has a new boyfriend she has a bad attitude out of no where and then at other times seems completely happy or sad outa no where?

  • @taylortaylor690 thats actually EXACTLY what i was thinking

  • This song makes me know that mercedes expresses herself a little more than rachel. rachel is in most of the show, can't u give mercedes a chance?

  • would you people stop comparing rachel and mercedes. they are both amazing!! i prefer mercedes but thats my opinion. i do however think that mercedes is undervalued in glee and it just made her snap. the two of them are equally talented.

  • its just a show xD

  • Although I am very moved by Mercedes' song, I was still rooting for Rachel. It's not that I like her better, I think they equally have outstanding voices. I just believe that Rachel is more of the Broadway musical type, and Mercedes is more soul. Therefore Rachel would be good for Maria, but if Mercedes tried out for a character that fit her better I think that she would get the part.

  • I love the way she says spotlight in 2:07!!

  • Why does it seem like whenever someone needs backup singers, they call Tina and Brittany?

  • @coldplayfan23456 I guess they have good harmonies.

  • LOVE THIS. Mercedes is a truely amazing singer !!! She really inspires me and its so wonderful that she sees herself as a leading lady now :D im commenting on this to praise amber for her class singin not to argue. cus i am a true gleek ♥♥ P.S rachel is an amazing singer too !

  • Yeah Mercedes may be acting like a diva, but she should have more solos! Rachel always gets them even though she's irritating! And Mercedes is just as good as Rachel, if not better

  • @Hudstahh93xoxo Rachel isn't getting solos because of her personality, but because of her voice. There are so many ways to compare voices. Like Emma said, Rachel and Mercedes are both amazing, but very different. Rachel has a pure, perfect pitch, and is great for singing very high notes. Mercedes has a powerful black voice and she is great at belting out very long notes. They are both great in their own ways. I wish people would stop comparing them.

  • rachel disliked this

  • people r looking into this a LITTLE bit too much. lol

  • @timmey227 I love you for this!

  • @Heyajay64 you are very welcome! lol

  • I love both Mercedes and Rachel, but why do people take this show so personally? Its a SHOW. its not real life. Don't people have other things to do but talk about these fictional characters?
