Amber Riley

We love Amber Riley’s portrayal of Mercedes and from what we’ve seen so far, we love Amber Riley too.

Although she hasn’t done much acting (ever heard of a show called St. Sass? No? Us neither.), she’s already got the ‘diva’ role down pat.

From our research it looks like she might be singing a version of Jazmine Sullivan’s ‘Bust Your Windows’ on a future episode and we can’t wait!

Thank goodness she was rejected from American Idol or we’d be talking about somebody else right now.

“I’m Beyonce…I’m NOT Kelly Rowland!” is perhaps the best way to sum up Mercedes. She’s bold and talented — a combination of Jennifer Hudson, Aretha Franklin, and even, yes, Beyonce.

So far, all we know about Mercedes is that she’s got a unique fashion sense and can definitely ‘saaang.’

Mercedes sang “Respect” by Aretha Franklin for her club audition.

Mercedes is played by Amber Riley.
