Amber Riley Olivier Awards Performance 'And I Am Telling You' and Award with win speech

Full performance of Amber Riley "And I Am Telling You" from Dreamgirls at the Royal Albert Hall in London for the Olivier Awards and Footage of Amber Riley winning best actress in a musical

[Ifeelpretty]

From shining on Glee, to winning Dancing with the Stars, to killing it in The Wiz Live!, to winning a Laurence Olivier Award for playing the role she was born to play! Love you Amber, you deserve everything and more!!!

[magnusvaldez]

Quite ironic that She's literally living Rachel Berry's dream ❤

[prinspray]

Once again, your decision was wrong Simon Cowell.

[toomuchtv]

MAJOR flashback to when she did this song on Glee though

[sefiperi]

Ryan Murphy must be like "Why, again, did I make the show all about Rachel?"

[writegirl]

I need need NEED this to come to Broadway. Riley could easily score a Tony.

[DeeL]

When she started singing 'And you, and you, and you" all I could do was envision her pointing at Ms. Pillsbury, Santana, & Artie in the music room. Then finally pointing at Kurt, who just blushes and puts his hand over his heart!!

Amber Riley is winning awards and so called glee fans are still trying to discredit her talent over another cast member. smh. Congrats Amber Riley! Amazing.

That vibrato on the last note was very whitney-esque. She's really grown into her voice she is and always will be amazing

[andreleb]

Amber Riley was born to play effie white

[latrelljohn]

Well people said that she did not "Fit" the vocal role of Effie cause she's a Lyric Soprano and Effie was originally a Dramatic Soprano/Mezzo but this bitch changed her technique to goddamn fit the role. Well Deserved award gurl

[Nextburjalarab]

Her and Lea have literally switched paths from Glee

[ThePottergal]

This really does bring me great joy to see Amber out here prospering. The fact that she is doing this on her own and not with the help of Ryan and Co. She knows her worth and she knows, just like we knew she was being wasted on that show. Amber is out here living HER dream. No one else's. So proud of her.

[musicalmattress]

Girl screaming "Sing it!" at 6:07 - I applaud you!

I loved her, I love her and I will always love her. Amber Riley you are amazing. ❤️

[jamesrondo]

wow Amber Riley just kill that song in a good way her voice is absolutely amazing and so powerful she deserve to win that award

[alittlebitanna]

Honestly who cares if she's a soprano, she absolutely crushed this performance!! This was insane!

[jadeiman]

I love how the audience gave her a standing ovation. At the tonys they just think everything's beneath them. I remember fantasia performed at the tonys and blew my wig off 😂 and they had the nerve to still be seated

[fable]

I was actually worried about her on Glee. I thought her voice sounded strained on some songs, I was worried she might be losing it. Those worries were clearly misplaced-- she sounds better here than she ever has. Powerful. Stunning. Her voice is a jolt of energy to my very soul. She brings me LIFE.

Actually. for those saying this isn't as prestigious as the Tony Awards, British actors mostly work in theatre, that's where they learn their craft because there isn't a big movie industry here. So the Olivier Awards are for us what the Oscars are for Americans.
