And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going | Glee [HD FULL STUDIO]

And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going from Dreamgirls is featured in Sectionals, the thirteenth episode of Season One. It is sung by Mercedes in the choir room as the New Directions finalize their ballad for their Sectionals setlist.

Rachel initially wants to sing a ballad, but Mercedes demands a chance to sing. Emma, the faculty advisor for the glee club after Will was prohibited from being their coach, agrees to let Mercedes sing. Her rendition of this song gets an overwhelming response from the entire club, Rachel included who concludes that Mercedes deserves the chance to sing it at Sectionals; however, at Sectionals, Jane Addams Academy performs this song because Sue leaked their setlist to the other teams, and the New Directions cannot perform the song without being blamed of copying them.

LYRICS:

Mercedes:
And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man
I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go

No no there's no way
No no no way I'm livin without you
I'm not livin without you
I don't want to be free
I'm stayin'
I'm stayin
And you and you
You're gonna love me
Yeah ohh
You're gonna love me

And I am telling you
I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showin'
There's just no way
There's no way

Were part of the same place
Were part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind

And time and time
We've had so much to share
No no no way

I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
And finding that there's nobody there
Darlin' there's no way
No no no way
I'm livin' without you
I'm not livin' without you
You see there's no way
There's no way

Tear down the mountain
Yell scream and shout
You can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Stomp on the rivers
Push, strike and kill
I'm not gonna leave you,
There's no way I will

And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man
I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever ever go

No no there's no way
No no no way
I'm living without you
I'm not living without ya now
Living without ya
I don't want to be free

I'm stayin' I'm stayin'
And you and you and you
You're gonna love me
Ohhh

You're gonna love me
Yes you are
Yes you are
Yeah
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
You're gonna love me

I felt so tired pretending to sing along with her she’s so amazing

[nickmesogianes]

I prefer solos from Mercedes and more power house singing like this more than Rachel. She had much more of a power house voice and brought so much emotion to her songs.

[mourningdove]

This is the most impressed I've ever been over a Glee cover. The best ballad they ever sang, Mercedes deserved the chance to sing a power ballad at a competition

[mari-iwgj]

I think she has the best voice in glee 😩😊

[Scarchhhh]

Her voice is so unique. Amber you're amazing!

[manuelorozco]

I was brought here because Amber Riley is going to play Effie in a new London West End revival of Dreamgirls. She was sensational in the Wiz Live last December!

[nickgonzales]

3:43 she sang this part the best out of everyone else I’ve heard sing this part

[trinitymouhssine]

I always get chills, my goodness Mercedes you queen

[jazpercummings]

This is my favorite song Mercedes does. All the emotions and chills and none of the Rachel drama 😂

[IsaacMcCain]

That last note is amazing, and her voice!!

[springheartedtiger]

I believe this song is what made Matt realized he has a crush on Mercedes

[andyway]

The vocal tricks she can do are amazing oml

[isabellemahy]

Mercedes' Don't rain on my Parade. An angel, a queen, a diva.

[jeremywilson]

One day she'll be a diva, I can't wait

[jakegladdy]

oh my god. this song makes me think of my two best mates who have been there for me through my good and bad times. they are the best people in my life and I would die for them. they're my brothers for life. the song itself and the singer are marvelous.

[igorpatzlaff]

the way Amber delivered here... i always have goosebumps

[johnlathers]

The fact that Amber Riley wasn’t even a belter before Glee and was trained in opera is astonishing.

[cqmafia]

Omg she can sing like Jennifer Hudson

[Kewlbeanse]

"And you and you and you you're gonna love me" ♡♡♡

[alonpp]

I don't know why Mercedes hasn't solos in competitions :(
