“An idol for anyone that felt like an outsider.” LITERALLY WHAT GLEE CLUB WAS

[rontoranolan]

There was also that clue with the words and how she said "And I am telling you" which refers to her being Effie White, as well as singing that song on Glee. And of course she was talking about American Idol, and Glee. The Witch hat could be the Wiz, or could be her singing Defying Gravity for PBS. Her answer to Nick, would all point t to Glee as she got awards for her acting, singing and comedy on Glee. And yes the fancy car made it obvious. If none of that got you, her mannerisms, moves and voice sealed it. This is Ms. AMBER Patrice Riley!

If this isn't Amber Riley I'm living in an alternate parallel universe.

She auditioned for American Idol in Season 2 but she got dialed down, unfortunately, but later grabbed the chance at the opportunity of a lifetime, being cast as Mercedes in Glee.

[amiddend]

This is 100% Amber Riley. She auditioned for American Idol but didn’t make it. Her “big break” was a few years later when she was cast as Mercedes Jones on Glee. The witches hat is a nod to her role as The Good Witch on the live action version of The Wiz. The voice that comes out of the harp sounds just like her and the body type of the harp is similar to Ambers.

[DopeAsxBoi]

This is Amber Riley, her body posture gives it away, plus the witch hat is a clue to her role as the good witch in the wiz live, and the “opportunity of a lifetime” clue could be her being casted on GLEE💛💛💛

[KimberlyMartinez-rmvg]

I have never guessed so quickly while watching this show. I guessed it before she even sang. The clues all gave it away. I’ve been a gleek for 10+ years, you really thought I wouldn’t get it in a millisecond?? THIS IS NONE OTHER THAN MS. RILEY and when I heard the very first note, it all made it even more real.

[OddOneOut]

One of the clues earlier said that her 'Likes' was Fancy Cars, and her character's name on Glee is 'Mercedes', so yeah, it's Amber Riley.

[XxmisskjxX]

Definitely Amber Riley. The clue says it all.

She auditioned for the biggest show in the world (America Idol) and got turned down. She landed the opportunity of life time and become an idol for anyone who felt like an outsider (Glee). I've seen glee so many times and that voice is definitely her voice (aka Mercedes)

[tyvillianheartthrob]

Amber Riley being a fan of luxury cars can allude to Mercedes Jones

[THE_TOMCROWELL]

Biggest show in the World- American Idol Season 2: got rejected in auditions

Got her big break in Glee

She was in a Broadway show called the Wiz, which explains the wizard hat

Referring to her glee friends

Won several accolades for her role as Mercedes Jones

Her entrance said that she liked expensive fancy cars: what’s an expensive fancy car? Mercedes!!

Amber effing Riley!!!

[zekemastermk]

Look at the clues. They is opera glasses for her work in theaters in London West End, she audition for America Idol, she was turn down. Then she cast on Glee as Mercedes Jones. Wiz hat for the Good witch of west for NBC live musical "Wiz". The 3D glasses can be reference to DreamGirls or Glee 3-D movie. This is Amber Riley

[Shyautisticguy]

Amber Riley is that you. Girl you got this. Love you on GLEE.

[xmichelle]

She audition for American Idol. The judges said no. She casted to be one of the main cast members on Glee. The witch hat clue: she played the good witch on the nbc musical the wiz a year ago. This is MOST DEFINITELY Amber Riley. All the clues fits right in

[kingyazz]

“I AM TELLING YOU” AND I AM TELLIIINNNGGGG YOOOUUU

[mariahzamora]

This is Amber Riley. I binged watched Glee like nobodies business, and recognize that voice anywhere. And if its not her, I will never watch another Glee episode the same way again.

[J_]

Its Amber Riley ...She auditioned for american idols at 17 in 2003 season 2, but got turned down and later her " opportunity of a lifetime " was her getting into glee .

[Elizabeth-XO]

I’ve been hearing this voice, since she’s debuted in glee, have a couple her songs from glee on my playlist definitely that I listen to to this day, definitely Amber Riley

[andresgc]

OH! Are the 3D glasses because of that Glee Concert Movie that was in 3D?

Also, the clue she gave after her performance of a comedy award she shared with her besties, I think that was a reference to the SAG Award they won for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

[JustJonathann]

the fact that i could recognize her voice even with it disguised

[tiktokcompilations]

"But I'm telling you...", it's amber for sure.
