Lucie has an amazing voice! I cried through Wicked. Loved her since X Factor.

[@theboyjames3065]

Me too. She's brilliant. 👍🏻

[@EllieDaisy]

I feel Lucie is so overlooked as one of the most successful a factor contestants! Adore her x

[@celiaashton2865]

Simon hated her so much and for what? Jedward placed better than her that year and I just find that totally insane!!

[@musicismytherapy4936]

Recently watched Lucie singing She Used To Be Mine from The Waitress, amazing 👏 Watch her first audition on X Factor, the judges were right - she was destined for great things. Cheryl knew what she was listening to: "you could sing anything".

How did she not win Eurovision ? Stunning performance .

[@brookeellen5476]

Had the pleasure of seeing her in Waitress and she was incredible

[@ifmusicbethefoodofloveplay8076]

Lucie was my first Cosette!

[@donaldholderdoc2910]

Gawd I really wanted to see her live in Waitress but my only opportunity was cancelled by Covid. So fabulous 🤩😍

Saw Lucie on the Matinee of May the 21st from front row after having flown to the UK the night before, and let me tell you it was the most incredible experience! Her acting and overall stage presence is insane!!! Really hope she gets offered another year (if she wants to at least) so she can grow more and become an even more legendary Elphaba than she already is

[@doyouhearthepeoplesing2]

Agreed she can act the shot out of Elphaba too bad she can’t sing a note of her

[@doyouhearthepeoplesing2]

@Kerri E no it isn't I suffered through her, Helen and Ryan live it was the worst show of Wicked I've ever seen

[@misslinny6069]

She's come a long way from the Whitney Houston xfactor audition. She was stunning as jenna 😍

I cried when she did inevitable for treason... 🤍🤍🤍
