To be fair Glee also rejected an American Idol runner up (who absolutely should have won) before he went on to audition for American Idol, Adam Lambert. Although that rejection wasn't so much a 'you're not good enough for it', but more of a, 'you can't pull off 16 convincingly at 26 (even though Cory Monteith was the same age, he just had more of a baby face) and you probably aren't quite right for the part'. I definitely can't imagine Adam Lambert as dopey and as 'out there' as white bread jock Finn Hudson. Clearly no hard feelings though since Adam did a guest stint in season 5.

Amber maybe, but she's not really setting the world on fire on the music charts. She's more suited to singing on stage and maybe some tv. Naya, I'm sure they don't care about rejecting. Woman has gone off the deep end and doesn't really have the career to back up her ego.

Why was Jordin Sparks there and not Tori Kelly. Jordin Sparks ended up wining the show so it wasn't really a complete rejection if she was able to get back on the show and then win it in the end, while singers like Tori Kelly, Jennifer Hudson, Todrick Hall, and Scott Hoying auditioned and didn't make it through the whole competition but ended up successful.

Guys Glee was basically the life story of Rachel Barry. Her friends and rivals were apart of that life so they were included for the ride. She was the protagonist. It was called Glee to sound more inclusive. That's just my takeaway. I don't know if I would have been that excited to jump on the Rachel Barry Show bandwagon.

American Idol, like every other reality singing competition show, isn't about talent; it's about ratings. The producers don't care if your a great singer unless you look a certain way and can give them sales or ratings. Jordan Sparks auditioned multiple times then went on to win. Hey vocals didn't improve, she just created a buzz for herself by competing in other competitions.

@candy cane First of all make a whole complete sentence that makes sense like you forget "they're black like you" and learn to spell "racist"then you can end it with the lol like it's a joke. Second that's stereotyping us black people because we know more about Dianna Ross than Blake Shelton. As a person of color who listen to all genre of music from Alternative to R&B I find this offensive so before u comment on something actually think about what you say and take it into consideration. Third, you have a great day and I hope God blesses you and gives you the education you need to use common sense. Have a great day and stay blessed.

i get chills every time amber riley sings. one of the most talented vocalists ive ever heard. wow. absolutely amazing, totally deserved the top spot.
Every time I see Naya in a video makes me cry 😔 Rest in peace beauty, you deserve the best.
The problems with being a singer is that they are a dime a dozen. You just need that one hit. Heck there are plenty of singers who literally can't sing, but they got the "look", and was in the right place at the right time. Point is, never give up. One day it might pay off.
I want to know what the judges think about not giving Naya and Amber a chance now hmmmm
Amber Riley is a complete powerhouse!!
All I want for Christmas is a couple more duets with Amber Riley and Naya Rivera the way they did on Glee. River Deep Mountain high still gives me goosebumps when I watch it.

Some aspiring artists take the word of American Idol judges as gold. This video proves that they don’t always know what they’re talking about, nor make the best decisions as far as who makes it on the show and who doesn’t. You can rest assured that some mediocre singer made it onto the show in place of each one of these featured artists.
RIP Naya. your voice was godsent.

Naya and Amber are two of the best voices in the world now and I am not exaggerating.
This is why I rarely tune into shows like XFactor or Am Idol lol. It measures nothing. Some of the greatest talents we have never won Idol, and many (as we see) never made it to the top 10. It’s great publicity but winning shouldn’t be any of their concerns tbh. If people like you then they like you. You will make it either way. RIP Naya. ❤️
