The disrespect that Mercedes received on Glee will never be forgiven. She was the best PERIODT. Many of the cast members have mentioned on multiple occasions how her songs/duets are the ones they liked the most! A GODDESS, A LEGEND, AN ICON

[@AliAngelpie]

Mercedes was, and always will be, one of my top 5 Glee characters. When she called Mr. Schue and Finn out for always letting Rachel be the star after being cast alongside her in the role of Maria, stating they are afraid of hurting her (Rachel's) feelings, I clapped so hard because she was so right. She deserved her spot in the light and she always has mic drop moments. Props Mercedes, you go girl

[@jaylarose7838]

Mercedes was and always will be the BEST singer in Glee Club! No debate about it

[@Laramaria2]

And she got better by every song and I didn't even knew that it was possible!!!!!

[@Alex-se7sy]

Had the most powerful voice on the show🤩

[@DeeL3]

Her belts and high notes are amazing and incredible but it's disappointing that they didn't give her enough opportunities to showcase her softer tone. She's so versatile (not just with genres) but even with her singing style. The way she could transition from soft to powerful is just. . .ugh, words can't describe it. I love her so much!

[@ashleydowney1222]

@@Maria-oh7yh Alnost everyone was a better singer than Rachel. Unfortunately hearing about the issues that costars had with Lea. It makes me wonder if her character was given more solos so Lea wouldn't be upset and then working with her would be tolerable.

[@Maria-oh7yh]

@@ashleydowney1222 I'm pretty sure Lea was Ryan's favorite,Rachel was the worst,and anyway she was given more solos just to feed her ego. After hearing about all of this,and having experience with bullys, I can't stand/stan her anymore. I stan talented people who don't need to be a pain in the ass and horrible to other people. Mercedes deserved better

[@ashleydowney1222]

@@Maria-oh7yh I had heard she was Ryan's favorite. That's why she was in his show Scream Queens. She definitely seems like she was a bully. Not just on Glee, but on the other show that she was on called "The Mayor." She wasn't the main character. Yet she supposedly bullied the main character. On the show she was playing an assistant to a guy running for mayor. She also supposedly bullied some of her Broadway costars. I have also dealt with bullies in the past. She seems like she got used to people stroking her ego and telling her how great she was. She and the late Naya Rivera didn't get along at all. Naya called a Lea "a spoiled diva". Hopefully Lea has learned something from the way she treated people. She is a mother now and hopefully she will be a good one. I prefer for people to grow and realize their mistakes and change.

[@Maria-oh7yh]

@@ashleydowney1222 I really hope she's changing,not just for her son,but for everyone around her. Bullys are one of the worst people. And honestly I don't know why she was such a diva,she's very talented but she's not even THAT famous(maybe back then). Even if she were,that's not an excuse. I truly admire people who are very successful and down to earth at the same time,they have so much to give.
