[@divadoll606]

You can tell when someone really loves to sing and this lady's voice deserves an audience

[@pushon2342]

Contestants look like ` it's all over, time to go home`…… Absolutely killed it.

[@lysan6901]

she needs to record this song. i would buy it a thousand times. She lived those words just now. My favorite performance of all time.

[@patricksawaya8361]

"she lived those words just now" - I couldn't have said it any better

[@lysan6901]

Yea she really did :)

[@PatriciaRose907]

2024 and yes I'm STILL listening.. Single best performance of any talent show ever... This woman is anointed ❤

[@yulianacelorio1863]

Yes sis

[@patricksawaya8361]

4 years later and I still dont know how she didnt win

[@katwagg]

Or why she isn't a mega star! What happened to her?

[@briw8562]

Unfortunately black women never win any shows

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

It's because she wouldn't sell her soul

[@jed350]

I don’t believe it either. I was very disappointed, she was the top one that season!

[@cryo9216]

She was once a back up singer for some big name artists in the past, but was never in the spotlight. Because of that, she was getting bad press for supposedly being a "professional" competing in an amateur show, which surely cost her thousands of viewer's votes.

[@nahuelma97]

It's the best version I've heard of this song

[@rorus9530]

Better than Luther Vandross?

[@deanmacminn5733]

Nothing beats the original live version.

[@treasure2behold282]

We need performers like her. The one's we've got have sold their souls.

[@joanie6303]

Exactly

[@PaixSurTerre]

Ten years on and her rendition of this song and her soul-beauty still moves me - Brava

[@colebe9427]

This is hands down my absolute favorite version of this song

[@wendylynch1443]

Definitely ❤

[@xxmop123xx]

Have you watched Luther Vandross perform this live???

[@m.h.1593]

Tamyra Gray

[@mlwhepfiorino3392]

Wow, sometimes God has another plan but you're right, she got my vote👌

[@ryan16cooper]

I love the way she sings the song I wish they had it on iTunes.

[@modjadjisetlhake284]

2019 - this rendition still tugs at my heartstrings. She should be blowing the charts.

[@gunnyhighway007]

Lillie's voice always cheers me up when I'm feeling down. She's awesome!

[@afrotier]

YOu see that smile she did at the end?! She know she's got it!! LORD - making me cry every time! Amazing, amazing.

[@louisewilliams9578]

What the hell is wrong with you people. She should have one. The world said she is a superstar and will always be a superstar. She was born that way.

[@valarieosborne2958]

Every song she sings just tears me up!! So beautiful!!

[@zachaca]

That is a song only an absolute pro can perform let a lone sing. God she is amazing!

[@EloquentlyErica]

She's touched my soul!

[@keith7268]

9 years later and I still don’t know how she didn’t win

[@LorethaJohnson-g7v]

I watched this a 1000 times, and will watch it again and again ❤❤❤❤

[@tvy9176]

damn i can never forget watching her audition for the first time many years ago, truly one of a kind talent

[@Kaecie-dl1dk]

Sameeee, that rendition of Alabaster Box will never leave my mind. I think I might've been like 13 or 14? 10ish years later and I still listen to it often, hasn't lost a bit of its sparkle, she's unforgettable

[@SlickCrusty]

that ia a "wow"moment ..excellent

[@charveztalent]

Can’t believe it’s been 11 years ♥️

[@QilinRider21]

I and many others said she's like Whitney Houston, someone else compared her to Gladys Knight but listening to her again, her vocal style's more similar to Dionne Warwick

[@colnag2158]

Any way you spin it, still fantastic

[@mrsaidengrimshaw]

Definitely Dionne with hints of Gladys in there ! Xx

[@FrancescoBertolleti-ep5tu]

the diva!

Still the best

[@JordysSimpleLife]

Here in 2020 🙏🙏

[@sandraampofo6655]

What a voice ❤

[@TheXynos7]

Lyrics by Hal David! He did many with Burt Bacharach, ‘Alfie ‘ for example, Wooow what a beautiful Evans’s performance! What a Hal’s lyrics!!! A chair is still a chair Even when there's no one sitting there But a chair is not a house And a house is not a home When there's no one there to hold you tight And no one there you can kiss good night A room is still a room Even when there's nothing there but gloom But a room is not a house And a house is not a home When the two of us are far apart And one of us has a broken heart Now and then I call your name And suddenly your face appears But it's just a crazy game When it ends it ends in tears Darling, have a heart Don't let one mistake keep us apart I'm not meant to live alone Turn this house into a home When I climb the stair and turn the key Oh, please be there still in love with me

[@vivianfeliciano4351]

i love her she is beautiful and so much talent has so much to give god bless this is your time do it Miss beautiful you are amazing

[@SeibelEduardo]

Lilie, you are fantastic. Sorry my comments, but I love your voice. Thank you

[@ResetKeisha]

Why didn't she do a cover for this song? I need it in my life like now. Like the day she got up there and sung this song.

[@yvettekline5373]

Excellence

[@domenicoguaschino6501]

Una voce e un'interpretazione che tocca nel profondo. Non ha soltanto una bella voce...è davvero intensa.

Amazing ❤❤

[@journeydodge5812]

8 years later, I do not know why she did not Win

[@Chichi-bh9wo]

Because of her age, black woman (there is a thing out there to make everything black and white) and she's not a Satanist .

She’s a beautiful singer but nothing can top Alabaster Box

[@emptysoul5057]

She's so awesome. I wish she was a big name. Why are people like katy perry so cool when they can't sing hardly as well at all

[@mrwendell2343]

She favors, Teresa Graves and Whitney Houston. Voice similar to Whitney.

[@Dion_Mustard]

bit shouty at the beginning, the second half is more soulful.

[@natticunha02]

shouldn't have leaved the fucking x factor.

[@singuntothelordinspiredbyt9140]

What?, Lilly Mcloud didn't win? I am done with X factor.

[@jango7681]

Whitney houston

[@TKK765]

The closest sound to whitney’s and richer!

[@RichardMcWolff]

Actually more like Gladys Knight

[@TKK765]

@@RichardMcWolff Demi Lovato said " I feel like I was listening to whitney". Gladys has one of the best tones... her tone is soulful even when she speaks.... you can feel her pain in her tone. Whitney and Lillie have a sharper tone.

Oh no, those lashes. 🤢 Her beauty tech did her dirty with those. She's got good vocals, though.

Have to disagree. While Jermaine gave a powerful and clean performance, it resonated as just that...a performance.Lillie's version seems more genuine, passionate and a true expression of her feelings
