The vocal competition was liberating for the Season 8 winner since she was able to stay anonymous. "It gave me the freedom to just go out and no one had any kind of judgments or opinions or preconceived notions of who I am or what my voice can do," Riley recounts.

"I feel like they were just there just to listen, and that is such an invaluable experience to have as an artist that's been in this industry for such a long time. To be able to go out and no one knows who you are, but they still respond to your voice, in the same way, it's so validating," the star adds.

Prior to her stint on reality television, Riley was best known for her role as Mercedes Jones on the Fox series Glee. The high school drama captured the unique struggles of being a talented teen in the digital age, and she couldn't be more grateful for the gig.

"I went from complete obscurity to being flown on a private jet to New York," the Dancing With the Stars alum shares. "I feel like none of us were expecting it to be that big."

The actress looks back on the award-winning program with a sense of pride, stressing, "It moved the needle when it came to television."
