Whoever did the sound for this needs sacking! Amber is an amazing vocalist and they did not do her justice with that awful echo.

[@galaxyrose3330]

The people who disliked this were angry that Amber disappeared for a minute

[@jrabbt7463]

🤣

[@snowmanofpoopp]

What's a dislike?

[@sweetblaqcoffey962]

ONCE AGAIN, Amber Riley is forgetting she's human! I saw a video here called 'Times Amber Riley Forgot She's Human'. These were when she was on Glee. She's made me cry so much from her "forgetting" I should be dehydrated! But she's just amazing, a real star 🤩

[@zingan.o.1435]

Everybodys got something to complain about. She's has no soul somethings missing. Her wig..... Just shut up. And watch Amber Riley sing....

[@teainortakoy]

Yes THIS! Your comment needs to be posted on every single music video!!

[@MsT_ThatsMe]

@zinga What you don't understand is these people are power houses behind the keyboard. The critics without voices or talent.

Amber is such an amazing singer.... She deserve all the grammys and all the recognition she could have!

[@leonardo_Fabri]

This version of "Listen" makes so much more sense! I mean, I know the original one was made up to the film and to promote a Beyoncé' single, but the new lyrics is so girl power and sisterhood that makes total sense!

[@TheKiRahhChaCoShowx]

I agree💯💯💯

[@jadanwigwe4221]

I totally agree. I honestly didn't feel that much sympathy for Deena when watching the film. That changed after I saw a great live production of "Dreamgirls" (the actress I saw really brought the character to life). Although "Listen" isn't in the musical, this performance adds so much to her character as well.

[@diannafagan9477]

Amber is one of the few people who sings without lips singing

[@romonwashington5137]

dianna fagan your fake

[@elliegaller3306]

As well as Jennifer Hudson Beyoncé and Ariana Grande and tons of others

[@beynotes868]

Amber also lipsynced

[@coraalexander8177]

amber is a phenominal woman and singer so I'm asking.....WHO DISLIKED THIS????

[@456704]

but the other young lady! She has a really wonderful voice, It was unexpected!

[@gbarasamuel7815]

Music Adventures it commands your attention. So powerful. What's her name?

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

I Loved this. Amber sounded incredible, invincible. I loved her beautiful face and presence, the caftan, and her beautiful , natural curly Afro hair. Pulled back at the front. Xxx dream girls. Positivity and love

[@akriener]

It's a wig. You can see the wig line coming off her forehead on the closeups.

[@KayleJudicator]

The music is way too loud, that would be better if we could hear better Amber Riley's voice, her voice is oustanding.

[@diannafagan9477]

I agree. The piano is taking all the credit he needs to be background vocals. Not fight with amber for the spotlight

[@wa1pahu]

Amber sounds amazing. Her voice is so rich and mature...love her!

[@Luterario1993]

06:45 best part.

[@jamesrondo6512]

Amber amazing Riley one of the best live Singers out there

[@lonellfletcher]

So far no one has topped amber and lisii with Listen!!!

[@smile2day162]

Amber out sung that whole cast!!!!!

[@alejandro1996]

Amber Riley, merece todos los Grammys Award

[@alicewesson2481]

no one gonna speak about the god awful reverb........ Amber and Lisi slay tho

[@Hanbl-ip1tn]

Came for the cast recording and she is just phenomenal live too!!! Absolutely sings this song from her heart and soul❤️

[@shiiiipuri]

if I listened to this on site, no one would be able to make me stop crying

[@erintilley5244]

Saw this in London this year in July didn't see Amber saw someone else but the Effie I saw wow when she sang And I am Telling You she blew it away who acting and singing were above and beyond would of loved to have seen Amber Riley but the Effie I saw was just as talented.

[@MrRickyRJames]

How. Did. I. Miss. This. 😭

[@adey126]

Amber stay proving why she won that Olivier. YASSSS

[@yveo]

i love Amber so much !!!!!

[@ashissociallyawkward2925]

She is SO GOOD and AMAZING at C6s

[@s.rosesmith6525]

Oh Yes. Excellent concept. The song makes sense this way.

[@patricksawaya8361]

1:34 SHE DID THAT

[@nikolasmattos7895]

I think Amber's voice is too sweet for that role... I

[@lpdeese]

nikolas mattos facts

[@lonellfletcher]

I always thought that, but I feel it’s gotten stronger as she’s gone on in the role.

[@adey126]

Amber herself you mean cause that Olivier and her performance there prove you wrong.

[@collinkilloran5721]

You’re wrong

[@christinarobinson516]

Absolutely awesome 😭✌

[@onestory3850]

Amber riley , LIISI LAFONTAINE and the cAST of dreamgirls

[@blasianbro]

Love it the show was so good

[@caiquenascimento4016]

Omg! You Give me goosebumbs now girl

[@lonellfletcher]

Either bring Dreamgirls back to broadway or do a live tv performance. Either way, cast amber as Effie!!!!!

[@adey126]

I co-sign this.

[@MrBlactye]

I am just smiling right now; Because I am witness greatness.

[@patevans6154]

[@bskeete]

[@BAMOORE94]

[@kymbertlaurio9054]

[@WillockGames]

[@ad0regabby._121]

[@wevertonluiz1120]

One night only versão calipso, adorei!

[@BobSullivanAKABuffy]

Oooh LISTEN as a duet!

[@brunorezende726]

Foi lindooooo 🌺❤️😍😍😍😍

[@KUYAJHUNCANADATV]

Wow. I love this performance. .thanks for sharing this video👍👍💯💯💯🙏👋👋👋 now connected to your channel ❤️❤️❤️

[@gabriellewilliams8769]

YES QUEEN 👑

[@raaid22]

first, they sound great. however, it bugs me that only the original cast seems to understand there should be a huge contrast from Deena to effie. effie is the voice and Deena is the whole package. deenas voice should be light and pop and shouldn't rival effie's. when deena is cast as great singer the plot starts to crumble. deena can't sing like effie which is why it's such an injustice effie gets sidelined.

[@Musicblue22]

Exactly alot of these recent productions cast actresses to follow Beyonce's portrayal rather than follow the original characterisation of Deena who is fashioned after Diana Ross.

[@kyugyu]

보면 볼수록 레전드다…

[@realSimoneCherie]

People say it shouldn’t have been a duet but mama, like Bey, was doing a lot of straining in this song, and Amber eats ballads like this for breakfast

[@cashcow4450]

Um excuse me but Beyoncé does NOT strain.

[@delainebutler9459]

Oof yes yesss I love it 😭😭😭

[@Inday_Yawa]

the movie dream girls' actors are such big roles to fit ... thank god Amber is here.

[@hazemhussein7669]

I love you Amber ♥♥♥

[@therealriclio]

The sounding crew in this performance is shocking its a credit to the artists that they held it down like they did! but i will say that I prefer the original Listen lol

[@Blue_Inspires]

They sung the mess out of that yess hall. I just adore Amber and I need that wig cuz she was wearing that love it all

[@dotv6252]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jotavemamoni]

que versão é essa de listen?

[@denzazela5604]

The reverb 😭

[@davidh.4220]

AMBER!!!!!!!!!!

[@matthewm44]

Now that’s a production

[@charlita25]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tonyyoung3985]

Who plays the Dreams? And where can I find more of Deena Jones's solos?

[@23tjg]

Who has the higher harmony for “back in the day” at around 7:00? In one version I saw it’s clear that Deena goes higher but in this version it seems that Effie goes higher? They are both amazing and sound so similar that it’s hard to figure out tbh

[@juliuscaezarchavez6482]

it's deena with the higher harmony 😀

[@ZoraTheberge]

The idea of Listen as a duet takes away Deena's agency, in a way. In the film, she leaves on her own terms, but in this production it's because Effie helped her make up her mind. (It also doesn't help that the actress plays her as pretty helpless. But to be fair, Deena's agency didn't exist really before Beyoncé took the role). With this, they're trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. A duet between Deena and Effie makes sense, and so does putting in a popular song from the film. But Listen isn't a duet. To tell someone "Listen" is pretty commanding and when she's asking for forgiveness, it looses that. If you're going to try to put Listen into Dreamgirls, it should be Deena's solo, as it was written. I wish the song was presented as the opposite of And I Am Telling You and staged as such. Deena is now where Effie was and I wish we could see that more played out.

[@anthonydalechamps5623]

Zach T I totally agree with you on that

[@dawayle1]

In the play she was more manipulated by Curtis than in the movie.

[@elliegaller3306]

The song originally a duet in the musical and they made it a single in the film

[@orlandogiant]

No it wasn't.

[@aaronford2184]

You’re right! Also the lyric rewrite is for for the fuckin birds.

[@sosidea6112]

Meraviglia

[@lonellfletcher]

I have never been a fan of Listen. The original solo I thought was too contemporary for the period score, then the first version of the duet just didn’t sell me. But now we have this new, reorchestrated version and it is perfection!!!!! This is a showstopper to rival AIATYING. Just epic and wonderful and Amber and Lissi performed it perfectly. Love!!!!!

[@MsAnimeDork]

I love amber with my heart and soul but if they dont get that terrible wig off her ima fight lmao

[@Babyskitt]

FierceDeception or wrap a scarf around it lol.

[@lorenozone1589]

twistedblktrekie It's a lace front wig. From some angles, you can see there's like a socket and it's not glued down all the way, especially in the beginning.

[@ZoraTheberge]

Cornrows always just look wiggy.

[@JenniferJLouis]

Stage theater use wigs so they can properly mic them on stage. From a theater, seating 400+ seats, the look isn’t terrible and it’s functional for actors.

[@zingan.o.1435]

It's for the character. Effie she is playing on West End....

[@gustavomoraes8769]

Me lembrou pabllo vittar

[@CateraDevon]

Freaking Amber Riley, man.

[@aepfelchen_7945]

Whats that for first dress was she wearing? where i can find it????

[@aaronnauer2398]

wowowowowowowowowowowowowowow

[@africanqueents7606]

Why her lace piece showin

[@hypeone1000]

That background mess up this masterpiece of a performance.

[@selamlehagery5718]

Interesting casting 🤔Isn't the dream girls loosely based on the Supremes?

[@carlosvasconcelos4326]

I guess the Brazilian pride is the bigger!!!!

[@nibnob7]

Carlos Vasconcelos I was there, it was massive but by this point most people had dispersed elsewhere like soho which was soo busy

[@sydneythefox21]

what is the name of the girl from Dream Girls singing listen?

[@teainortakoy]

Its Amber Riley.

[@LolaBunny647]

I love Amber Riley... her vocals are legendary... But can we talk about that wig they put on our girl though?? And why does it seem like they rewrote** Dreamgirls?? Like there was nothing wrong with the way the play was originally written 😒

[@ohemaa_ang]

I think the movie was the one that was rewritten

[@LolaBunny647]

Queen AnG yeah it was. But I really wish they would've stuck with the original Broadway script for the play. Or atleast find someone else to play Deena... cause ol' girl wasn't bad but she wasn't great 💁🏾

[@meaghangiovanni3145]

Listen wasn't in the original play it's only in the movie they had to add it in a place that it for best meaning it would have to be changed a bit.

[@LolaBunny647]

Meaghan Giovanni understandable, still not a fan of the change though 💁🏾

[@erimcferrysings4110]

I think Beyoncé put copyright on it or something. I actually love this version.

[@jrabbt7463]

Old gurl in the red shorts has been through it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@teleopinions1367]

I was surprised to see that there weren't that many people for a concert with the cast of Dream Girls. That's a big thing. It was free, right?

[@OwainMilliken]

Tele Opinions it was london pride, so dreamgirls wasn’t the main thing there

[@changyenchuan9110]

whoever did her wig....

[@kellyconroy3425]

As someone who has only seen Dreamgirls in here I prefer this version of listen x

[@pocketslife8963]

Amber's wig popped a wheely didn't it

[@Diva_D]

In the entire metropolitan London they couldn't find one fucking bottle of lace wig glue?!?!? jeez

[@ZoraTheberge]

Diva D haha. In theatre they don't glue them down for quick changes

[@user-bj9xb7ty8n]

メルセデスじゃん！

[@eumesmo7706]

Linda tava parecendo a Alcione ❤😍

[@flannerymonaghan-morrs4740]

I hope they use this as an ending theme for the next Jojo's bizarre adventure arc.

[@africanqueents7606]

Lord yall.she dat skinny girl lace piece

[@FlimFlamFloom]

She can belt, but there's something missing from her Effie. Real fire. Anger. She's no J Holliday.

[@nikolasmattos7895]

Benjamin N OMFG THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THINK, it's really missing some anger.. Real fire that's what's really missing

[@nikolasmattos7895]

Jennifer hudson delivered it tho..

[@lpdeese]

Benjamin N I just think she lacks soul. Because I think JHud did it well too. Of course no one is the original. But she lacks the feeling and soul needed for Effie... but she can sing.

[@FlimFlamFloom]

JHud delivered it with about 40 takes and great editing. Bill Condon won her that Oscar.

[@lpdeese]

Benjamin N but listen to how she performs it live. It still sounds like soul and effort. More focused on delivery and the message than on pitch and intonation and manages it all effortlessly! My opinion tho!

[@BW84]

Um what are these new lyrics to Listen...da fuq?

[@Fonthandler]

Brendan Walsh I was like, did this bitch just make up her lyrics? 😂

[@BW84]

Power Respect Hahahaha if only.

[@bryands86]

Brendan Walsh they are singing the lyrics from the play oppose to the movie 😊

[@BW84]

bryands86 well, the song was written for Beyoncé to have in the film. Clearly they adapted the song for this production. That's all well and good, however, I don't like it. That song is so iconic; everyone knows the lyrics. Also, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just my two cents.

[@bryands86]

Brendan Walsh ummm ok

[@jafricanking_Bronx]

Hard to hear with the echo, Girl you don't need any music to sing anything, your voice carries

[@irenefelix6637]

Can you guys at least spell sync correctly before you bash one another. Good grief.

[@billysmith1480]

Wtf is up with the sound? Amber deserves better!

[@kreishaushaile4129]

Simon Truly made a mistake...Listen to Amber, The Belt,head voice just stunning and gorgeous.I had the privilege of doing Dream Girls at the PapperMill Playhouse with Sharon Wilkins as Effie , and yes the fierce Sondra Bonita has her understudy.Those that know The haves and had Not, the wife yes Chaul she was deana .Cannot forget the Mr.White The cast was major...

[@do440]

Is this the Puerto Rican version of Dreamgirls???

[@pandaking9000]

West end in London actually :)

[@FilmBunny1091X]

Darlena Outing it would be cool if they did it in Puerto Rico!!! 😄😍😊😉

[@matthewmiller2219]

Marriage is one man and one woman in a devoted lifelong relationship that seeks companionship and procreation of the species

[@jrabbt7463]

This version is so sad.😥

[@JarrettSelf]

Beyoncé who?
