They are both distinctive vocalists. There's no way to mistake the two. Love them both!!

Gotta say Amber comes out on top

@Jayde Hawkins but they still kind of sound the same

@Marii that’s because JHUD was singing first and then Amber Riley started singing

Actually you wrong cuz at first when they was behind the tree I thought jhud was singing

Cc😢

Amber Riley does not get enough recognition... A power house indeed!

exactly

she was a ghost singer for demi lovato

❗️

Absolutely agree!

No she doesn’t! When I first heard the harp open her mouth I knew it was her and I knew she was going to win!

It’s impressive that Amber took the higher note on an already very high note, to do the harmony with JHud. Her voice and control has really matured since glee 👏🏽👏🏽

@James May no weight behind are u okay? Did u not hear her cover I have nothing on on the masked singer or anything she sang on glee her voice is very powerful

@James May You clearly don,t because you think that her incorporating a few growls means she is screaming. She is classically trained and I have seen her hit notes ALOT higjer than that. she is sitting very comfortably in her range. That distortion she jmis doi g literally wouldn,t be happening if she was screamj g and shouting her way through the notes instead of what she is actually doing sitting on a comfortable place on her voice and adding style. Jennifer is the one who hits past a certain note and gets a really metallic flat sound.

@CRISPR I I do have an idea what a lighter voice sounds like... Amber's. Doesn't negate the fact that she is simply yelling/screaming. She has a much lighter voice with a higher range, but naturally much less volume. So she is literally screaming in order to compensate for the natural volume/weight advantage Jennifer has. And it sounds dreadful

@James May Basically you just have no idea what a lighter voice sounds like lol she has an insane amount of weight and power behind her voice to be sitting comfortably on such a high vocal range

@Dawud Jibreel 😂😅

Nobody has any idea how long I’ve waited to hear these two singing together!!! UN-BELIEVABLE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Chile it AIN’T NO WAY I COULD HAVE BEEN IN THAT AUDIENCE and kept my composure! I would have thrown my prayer cloth at them!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 If you’re from the church you know throwing ya prayer cloth at the singers is the highest compliment! 🏆😊 I just love this show and these Queens 👸🏾 👸🏾 DESERVE THEIR FLOWERS! 💐💐💐💐

I just have to laugh every time Jennifer belts next to another powerhouse singer because there is no one louder than Jennifer EGOT Hudson. She has the whole Mississippi mass choir in her vocal chords. 😭😂

LOL, so true but she also knows how to share a stage and doesn't try to out-sing anyone. She's true talent and grace.

Amber looked so beautiful!! Loved her hair, that outfit and of course that voice!! I knew immediately after her 2nd performance on Masked Singer that it was her. I was thinking to myself, “If she doesn’t win, I’m gonna ghost this show forever ever...”haha

I love that they really thought we wouldn't be able to tell their voices apart. We could, we're just fangirling over both of them because those voices are impossibly perfect

Ikr....Jhud thick dark voice is quite recognizable.😂

2 powerhouses. This amount of talent is insane. This is a show that we all needed

Yes, I agree. 😉

@Pedro Gomes I do, I am a Jhud fan from day one. I can hear her voice in my sleep. As much as they sound both sounds similar I definitely can hear the difference. Both are uniquely beautiful. 😀

@Angeline Bell You don't know Gal Costa's notes haha. She puts JHud on her shoes, specially on this video link, from 2:23 to 2:59: https://youtu.be/8KHtYIL7_-Q

My exact words! 2 powerhouses!

@LA’s Art Designz Yes the first voice was Jhud

I'm not a J Hud fan at all, but I can say that I appreciated this performance. I see the professionalism. She's so comfortable with this song that she has now added her own bits of personality in it and I really liked that. It was the "yshes-shya-ahh" for me. It just screamed pro. lol

@Kemi A idc what u think I need to do.

@Jean Noire you need to chill. It's not that deep. 🤣🙄

@ashddd If it was a genuine question, a link imploring me to watch her wouldn't have followed. I knew that was the case before i even answered tho. So I wasn't surprised. Also, I'm not pissed off. I just really wholeheartedly want you to leave me alone and I'm not sugarcoating it. I say it how I mean it even if you don't like it. That's it. Bye now.

@Jean Noire it was a genuine question - I got an answer then continued the conversation like a normal human? I am also a musician.. I was continuing the discourse - that is totally fine that you still don't like it. Each to their own! Calm down Jean lol Maybe next time if someone linking a video of a song to you pisses you off you can step away from the internet for a second and relax

@ashddd so it wasn't really a genuine question nor have you accepted that everything isn't for everyone. all along u planned on "imploring" me to watch something to change my opinion. i watched it and my opinion isn't changed. don't merry christmas me. leave me alone. 🙄

One of the most phenomenal performances in talk show history! Whitney and Aretha would be soooo proud!!!🥹❤️👏🏾✨

Jennifer has a very powerful voice I just love her vocals. She is a true Star Vocalist. I would like to hear Jennifer sing "Change" by Tamela Mann

So beautiful to see them both bring down the house with an epic performance. To go to Jennifer show and be graced with her vocals at a drop of a dime is epic by itself. Our Aretha of our time jhud queen

Chills for days! Thank you Lord for blessing these beautiful ladies with these amazing powerhouse voices🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾 🎤

i love that she regularly sings on her show and i love love love how she lets others shine on the show

Jennifer is a Fantastic host, and this show is just beautifully produced. The set, her wardrobe the lighting all on point. Bravo Jennifer.

This!!!!! Plus Jen’s charisma is otherworldy 😍😍 she just has the x factor

@MorningStarKnowledge yet Jennifer is doing quite well for herself and Patti labelle still a living icon. Even Aretha loves both of them. Sucks to be you right now.

The whole show is a vibe. I like that Jennifer just has a chat with her guests and isn't trying to be messy.

And the guests!! Every guest is surprising and interesting. Jennifer's just got all of Hollywood on speed dial

BOTH OF THEIR VERSIONS GOT ME THROUGH SOME THOUGH TIMES THIS STAGE MEANS SO MUCH TO ME THANK YOU.

I can die happy now.... These two together.... WOOOOOW

I’ve been waiting. Made me cry. So beautiful!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣rest in happiness

@sherri Smith girls are good

Lmaooo

😂😂😂

Oh My God!!! My mouth literally fell to the floor. It was absolutely astronomical. I would live for you guys to do a show together. A tribute to Effy. It's about time. We'll done ladies. You made my night.

They're a impressive vocalists. I'm speechless and living for this moment. The power, the resonance, the passion, OMG

One of very few successful showcases of two powerful vocalists who know how to DUET an almost impossible song to duet to. Usually singers would try to outdo one another. But they really did it very well. Amber Riley singing the higher harmony in some parts was such a huge W!!!!😍😍😍😍

Amber Riley is hilarious at the end there. Lost in the moment, and going ‘wooh’ for JHud’s singing… then remembering she had to sing the last note too 😂😍👌🏻 so gooood

I love how starstruck she was!

Right 🤣. That was funny

That shows the respect other entertainers have for Jennifer’s voice. Also, proud of Amber cause she tore up the stage every time she performed. Well deserved trophy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

im still laughing at that part LOL.

OH MY GOD! Can the two of you PLEASE do something together? A stage play, music, a Hallmark movie, a concert, a dang tee shirt? I would stand in line to buy it! Two phenomenal women on the same stage. You are truly blessed. Thank you both for sharing your God-given talents with the world!

I agree 😂

A T-Shirt LMFAOOO,but nah fr. They 🔥

Not a dang t-shirt!🤣🤣🤣😂

Both of them are hilarious and amazing singers!!! So I wasn’t expecting less than this.. TERRIFIC 🤩

There are now words to fully describe how awesome you two are. I love to hear you both sing. Praying God continue to Bless and Keep you both. Much Love❤

They both have powerful voices.🤩😢 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

you both bring something so special to effie 😭 i feel so lucky to have gotten to watch that!!

This is too much! We need no other soul singers! You ladies are what we need now!

I love Amber,but I love Jennifer even more. Her voice is just pure magic. 💯💯

I love this two of the best live singers in the world their vocals are absolutely amazing 💯

Two power houses. They will take you to church and have tears pouring down your face before the first note is finished. Jennifer has the bold belting to the rafters voice while bringing you ever so gently back to your seat. Amber has the smokey lulling you to sleep while keeping you mesmerized kind of voice. Two unbelievable voices, amazing talented and extremely beautiful women. Wow just wow.

Oh my! I love it. Jennifer and Amber two amazing powerhouse singers. Fabulous.

My childhood dreams are coming true on this show first Tasha and Jhud now Amber and jhud . Praise God

Yes!!

Come on ladies!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love this show! Love how she’s displays talent

Come on Jhud…. We know your voice from anywhere! You’re always belting and have so much vibrato in your voice.

It’s impressive that Amber took the higher note on an already very high note, to do the harmony with JHud. Her voice and control has really matured since glee 👏🏽👏🏽

Imma need them to do the full song together cause this was everything 😭

Energía, gran rendimiento, wow!! ❤️🦋

Loved it when she sang it on Glee, but this was beautiful!!!!❤️

Now there's something I want to hear it about Amber Riley! She's truly amazing for singing beautiful voice and J Hud always been proud of her! 😍❤️🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶

Amber got a little starstruck. I loooooove it! Dreamgirls is my favorite! You ladies killed it and then threw the mic!

my two faves

Omg! Jennifer Hudson is bringing it in her first year as talk show host!

They both have strong and powerful voices, and their voices are very unique so you can definitely tell them apart but one things for sure, they both sound incredible.

What an amazing experience! I'm so jealous for that audience! This is the best thing that has happened in the world! (I know that's saying a lot, but y'all let me have that. :) )

The vocal command is STRONG in this vid! 👌🏾💙

Sooooo amazing!!!! Beautiful ladies, inside and out!!! Praise God for their gifts.

I smiled from ear to ear. Love you both ❤

Congratulations to Amber for winning the Masked Singer! I knew it was her.

Amber voice sounds like literally flames. 🔥

My 2 favourites !!! So under rated, such God given talent !!!

We need the extended version of this interview. Interesting that they both found success after not making it on American idol and have been discriminated against because of their body type in the Industry. They deserve all that comes their way. I would love to see Amber play Effie on Broadway, so she can win a Tony as well.

Love My People..!!

I've played this for more than a 100 times and I can't stop!

I have no edges left!!! These 2 ladies snatched them with away with their voices!!!!

🤣🤣🤣 right, right...LOL

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol 😂

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh please!!! MORE MORE MORE!!! Don't stop the music! Love these ladies and that talent is unmatched!

They both killed it & I'm so glad Amber won The Masked Singer!! She was my fav from the beginning!!

I love how Jennifer Hudson's guests are basically Dreamgirls-adjacent, and Dreamgirls is one of my favourite musicals of all time.

​@EyesOfTheBeast they already sung together at the Oscars..

@Tenisa White that’s cos so many of these interviewers just keep asking Beyoncé weird questions. Trying to find dirt on her or start a feud between her and her sisters kelly and Michelle or her dad or DC5 or something else. I doubt Jennifer would do that. Jennifer let's her guest be very comfortable.

@sandra Jones did I say there was?

@Tenisa White nothing wrong with a few inquisitional questions.

@sandra Jones it’s an inside joke the bee hive been saying for years, not that deep lmao

Yes that’s an Oliver award winner right there!! Amber Riley killed it!!

Oliver twist

They're the Olivier Awards, named for Laurence Olivier.

​@wally🐳 The West End is London's Broadway.

I have to Google Oliver award. I've never heard of that. Cool. Edit: An Oliver Award is equivalent to a Tony award.

Oliver and Oscar winners for the same role singing together! We literally cannot handle this greatness! ❤

Amber was the number 1 reason why I watched Glee they did not give my girl enough credit/shine. Love her vocals

Great job 👏🏾 I love this song!

My God I would have LOVED to be in the audience for that performance!

LORD HAVE MERCY!!! Two powerhouses. Love the sound! Love that Gospel touch!!!!

4:08-4:18 is so powerful!🔥🔥🔥Amber is full of power and so is Jennifer!

I have always could tell them apart. Love them both sooooo much both of them have different but harmonize so perfectly.

Wow, wow, wow just amazing. Sing it queens 👸🏽👸🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

The vocals on a Amber Riley/Jennifer Hudson album would be absolutely insane! I don't know if we ready for that. We need a second to glue down our wigs and buckle ourselves in.

That was A-MAH-ZING, they NEED to tour together or do SOMETHING together!

Hands down two of the best vocalists EVER!

Absolutely stunning, breathtaking and amazing! Love! It! ❤❤❤❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Amazing! Legends!!! 2 of the best of all time!!!🔥❤🔥❤

I have straight chills!! Let our ancestors know!!❤️❤️❤️

AMAAAAAAAAZING VOCALS, YESSSSSSSSS I DO LOVE YOU BOTH. INCREDIBLE.

I seriously need them both to collaborate. I would watch them live or buy an album in a HEARTBEAT

Live action Hercules muses!!!

Am I opinion, Jennifer out powers Ambra but I love the equally but omg I love Amber Riley as Mercedes

Or just have them back on her show as a regular returning guest!!

That was amazing ❤❤ gave me chills

Omg amber be performing and fangirling at the same time 😭😭😭🥺💖

That gave me goosebumps!!!🤗

They killed that! Not many can keep up with J Hud vocally

Holy COW - I needed this today - Effie White is one of the BEST charecters of all time - and these two are just killing it!

I love sangers!!! We need this collab asap! Also this show is becoming the sanging show, I expect duets from Jennifer and a singer every week. 😭😍

They actually sound different but they both are amazing singers

Amazing women. Love their spirits.

Amber sounds like Jennifer Holliday and Jennifer Hudson sounds like Jennifer Hudson she just takes it somewhere no one else has ever taken it don't get me wrong the other two ladies the originator and the one that came after her sounds so beautiful but Jennifer Hudson's pitch tone just her veracity is unmistakable I love everything about this clip is paying homage it's just passing on Grace

OMG, what talented queens 🥰😍

what a treat.. i never thought they would do a duet.. the audience win big that night..

Exactly the dose of slayage I needed to start my day!

Wow! I got chills. Two powerhouse voices.

Nice Jhud voice so real at so many levels. Love that she has power 🙌❤️ without a microphone. Both lovely voices indeed. Nice holiday performance👍

Very well doneAmazing!

I really just threw both of my shoes at the tv! Just outstanding!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Perfect HARMONY! 💯

2 powerhouse sopranos!💙

I watched her in the west end twice and she was amazing …. Rod Stewart who so happen to sit in front of us gv a standing ovation mid show n yelled at the crowd to do so as well 😂😂😂

My two favourites😍 in one room?? Insane 🙌🏻

I'm just over here trying to figure out why these two don't have any collaborations. Both of them are vocal goddesses; we need more of their voices. I actually never watched Glee but I know how popular the show is. I found out about Riley from the Terrell show; shout out to T. JHud is legendary in my family. I think I watched her back when she was still on American Idol...

I think her voice will get recognition in gospel music too

I love Jennifer Hudson, she has the sweetest soul. God bless you young lady.

Amber Riley was amazing when she sang on glee and now she’s like 1000x better. She is so talented

Incredibly powerful, ladies!

Both so effortlessly amazing!!!!

OMG....I am soooooo freaking out right now. 💖💖💖. Voices From Heaven 💞.

I got chills all over🔥🔥🔥
