Amber Riley, who plays Mercedes on Fox’s Glee, brought some big pipes to her rendition of Whitney’s “I Will Always Love You.” Like so many, Riley was more than just a fan and really felt crushed when she learned of her death:

Goodness gracious that was completely amazing!!!!! SMH, i just cant quite wake up from this horrible dream that Whitney is gone, i think everyone still feels like its a dream that they just wanna wake up from. Dang RIP Whitney *tear*
OMG! SHE KILLED IT! AMAZING MISS AMBER!
WOW! Amazing voice. She did an awesome job. That is the best rendition of that song, that I’ve heard yet.
I AGREE & was getting ready to post the same exact thing. Too bad she wasn’t chosen to sing at the Grammy’s. I definitely felt chills…RIP Whitney, yes, we will always love you!
She was perfect!
AMBER RILEY KILLED THAT SONG!!! Love J.Hudson, but Amber totally shoulda sung this song at the Grammys. She’s got the style, the range, and the ridiculously stupid talent to do so. Who knows, maybe after hearing this, they’ll let her do a full-out tribute to Whitney. RIP Whitney
I got goose bumps!! I loved it. Much better than J Hudson. You gotta have a certain gentleness to sing it like Whitney, and she has it!
LOVED IT!? SHE SANG STRAIGHT FROM HER HEART AND DID NOT TRY TO OVER DUE IT OR OUT DUE WHITNEY! THANKS AMBER!
What an amazing voice, Whitney I am sur ewould be proud
Beautiful…Beautiful…Beautiful…what an amazing rendition, she could record it as well…wonderful tribute to our Whitney Elizabeth Houston who we love and will miss…We love you always Whitney!
