Lucy and Martha Thomas - Silent Night - Nailed it!!!!

[@adamknight7041]

Love them both, I think Lucy's voice is naturally deepening now with maturity but don't think you can suggest she doesn't still nail the high register I have to say though I'm really impressed with how much Martha's voice has developed in the past year.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Chris, there is something special about sibling harmony. Two instruments built so closely that the sounds compliment. Nice.

[@davidwhitelaw6533]

Hi Chris - I have to take issue with your comment about Lucy’s range. Lucy is a soprano with an alto’s low register. Please listen to the sisters singing Pie Jesu where Lucy’s upper register shines. The way she has sung her part in Silent Night suggests a production decision to best balance her voice with Martha’s. Thanks for your continuing support of these two remarkable artists.

[@MikeBush-dg2dp]

Larry, thanks for your reaction. I always look forward to your comments when a new Lucy release drops. I wonder if Lucy might not have been holding back a bit on purpose to let Martha shine a bit. I have heard Lucy hit that note with "umph" many times. At every stage in Lucy's development she has brought Martha along and let her shine too. It is just one more reason that we love Lucy so much. I guess you know that Lucy has passed 1 million KZbin subscribers. I am so proud of her. I agree when you say that this is a wonderful time to be alive. The world is a mess but God allows some real beauty to shine through the darkness. Music is said to be medicine for the soul. And Lucy is a master physician!

15 years Old in Nov, and her singing is fantastic

[@tameraSBLY]

Phenomenal harmony. Martha is really honing in on her vocal skills. She has really evolved. Lucy is still flawless. Thank you Chris.

[@jubileejazz]

I was lucky enough to go to Lucy's West End debut in London. This was her big day, yet she still had time to invite Martha to sing with her. This just emphasises what a wondeful person Lucy is. She described Martha as her "best friend". The bond between then was plain to she. The evening was was truly magical

[@Lucy-t8n]

I was also lucky enough to be there and I totally agree with you. The incredible talent is real, but so is the genuine and lovely personality.

[@adamknight7041]

I was there too and wholeheartedly agree, what a lovely sibling bond they have aswell as their beautiful voices.

[@stephencommon2806]

I beg to differ Larry, it's definitely Martha singing the lower harmony, that's her comfort range and speciality.

[@MarionGoodman-yi8vp]

Agree it was Martha singing the lower harmony.

[@ThePhantom1978]

I don’t know what he was listening too, it is clear as day that Lucy has gone higher and Martha lower. You can see clearly by their singing posture.

[@jimivison1565]

Thanks Larry. I always love your reactions. They of course didn’t disappoint. What can one say about these two. Just stunning, stunning, stunning. Stay safe, healthy, and free my friend.

[@MarionGoodman-yi8vp]

They look so alike. Beautiful sisters, beautiful voices. Nice.😊

[@bradgannon4412]

Hi Chris, definitely Lucy singing the high, but yes, Martha sounds great, and they harmonise so well together. Thanks for your reaction. 😊👏👏❤️

I requested this before I knew what it was if you’ll remember. Good job.

Santa is coming early with such wonderful gifts with these amazing singers' fantastic rendition of this classic. we know how great lucy is but so impressed with Martha 👌

[@danrandall794]

Thanks for jumping on this so fast. Martha is getting so grown up but she is just a kid. Again no words are invented to describe Lucy. You are correct that we are blessed to hear these two angels.

[@eileengibson1874]

They are just sublime...Lucy is a powerhouse but wow Martha has matured vocally and physically and she has only turned 15. Love your honest reaction as always. Happy Christmas ❤

[@johncollins392]

May be honest,but so wide of the mark with his diagnosis!

[@barbaracallister8138]

Hello Chris, " Silent Night " a rendition by Lucy & Martha Thomas, this carol is just so beautiful, so peaceful, just so perfect. Merry Xmas Barbara.

[@georgegliszczynski8576]

Hi Larry...Thanks for this nice Christmas treat. Very beautiful. Pure and soothing with superb harmony. Lucy and Martha are singing like the 2 angels that they are. Martha is very impressive. Her voice has now matured and she is amazing! Lucy is in a class of her own. Can it get any better????

[@johncollins392]

Did you not listen to his review?,so wide of the mark with some of his comments,not knowing which sister was on the high notes for example!

[@whatnone1020]

Loved it.

[@danielschwartz354]

Always enjoy your reactions, but I also enjoy when you just ramble. In fact, you're the only one with whom I DON'T fast forward to the reaction!

[@colinhea]

Hi Chris Love your reaction to our two amazing girls .You are right that Lucy has time for her sister. She even bought her into her London concert ,easily Lucy´s most important todate but she still had time for Martha.I am still getting over the concert it was fabulous Lucy sung 21 songs ,had 9 standing ovations and recieved a 5 star review. But lets get back to this song.I have to disagree with you on two points number 1.This was certainly no where near Lucy´s peak for high notes ,just listen to Pie Jesu or unchained melody to name just two. According to Julliet the online singing coach who has analysed Lucy´s voice many times ,says Lucy is a soprano so can certainly go higher than in this song .The second point I think you were wrong that Martha was taking the high notes she was taking the medium to lower Notes While Lucy was going between the highes and lows. Marthas voice of course has matured and she has more range now. I think there is still a bit of the child like sound to her But she is young.There harmonies are truly amazing I don´t think you could find better. Have a great Christmas Chris and thanks for continuing to support Lucy & Martha.

[@johncollins392]

Yes he certainly got his knickers in a twist!😅

[@DennisButton-h7i]

Martha is closing the gap. I'm not sure she will ever catch Lucy but it will certainly be fun to watch her try. Love these sisters and your reactions in spite of all your pauses.🙄

[@johncollins392]

Martha will not get to the heights that Lucy has achieved as she will not put in anything like the time that her sister does due to her not wanting to make a career out of singing!

[@meryltom7591]

Remember, Martha is her own person. No competition with Lucy.

[@adamknight7041]

Lucy was already by some way a better singer then Martha at the equivalent age so I think trying to match Lucy will bare no fruit and I don't mean to downplay or diminish Martha's voice in saying that which is very beautiful in its own right but just nothing exceptional if you ask me. It's like comparing Jonathan with Charlotte in the Jonathan & Charlotte duo. Charlotte had a decent enough voice for sure but not one which was destined for legendary status like Jonathan's powerful Tenor range.

[@pickin4you]

Now, Martha doesn’t want to hear the words…. “She’s gotten so old”….lol. We know what you mean though. She has grown and her hair now matches Lucy’s. Thanks for the reaction. Been watching you for years and just noticed I was not subscribed. I fixed that.

[@stever7732]

A beautiful rendition. I felt that was fair comment. With Lucy’s most recent drops I was expecting her to come in on a lower key. She can still do the high notes when necessary but I think lower keys are now her future.

[@johncollins392]

The review was bunkum!,he couldn't tell who was singing the high notes for goodness sake!,as regards to Lucy's range I think you ought to revaluate if you think Lucy's future is in the lower tones,she is a Mezzo Soprano!

[@stever7732]

@ I did not mean lower keys in absolute terms. I meant keys lower than the high key she started in. And I stand by that.

Dang! Mr. Santa... four days, three reactions?? Love that! ❤ Hope you're doing well bud! 😉🎅

[@MikeBush-dg2dp]

Larry, One more comment on your comment about Lucy not being comfortable in her higher range. I respect your opinion so I went back and listened to the video several times. Try as I might I don't see a bit of what you suggest, i.e. a lack of Lucy's umph. She does not actually belt anything in this song because that would not work. It is a gentle song and requires a soft touch. As she always does, Lucy tried to do justice to the song, to promote the song not Lucy. I love what she did with this and I think any moderation of the umph (if it is actually there) was appropriate and intentional. Just my thoughts Larry, for what it is worth. I do love your zeal for this young remarkable artist. She has enriched all of our lives with her voice and sweet smile. I just think Lucy is a professional and she would never touch a note that she does not have complete and easy control over. Many artists make the mistake of reaching too far and shorten their careers by doing it. Not Lucy. My thoughts for what they are worth (not much). I love what you do Larry. Keep it up.

@@richv.1594 I'm good, and you?

[@pedromancenithe3rd]

Yeah Chris, you've created the debate. If you're suggestion Lucy struggled with the high not, you MUST listen to "PIE JESU" I think it will convince you that your ear deceived you just a ittle. You can mark it up as the first reactor to say that Lucy seemed to struggle with her vocal?

[@johncollins392]

Yes,I don't know understand what he was talking about,unfortunately nor does he!

[@adamknight7041]

Even better would be to watch their version of *Mary Did You Know* from this time last year, Lucy's high notes are almost shattering chandeliers in that. 😂

[@johncollins392]

Sublime,though i think we must be listening to different piece of music!,don't understand your comment on Lucy being at her limit as regards to that top note!,she is considering her sister here as she does every time they sing together!,Lucy could have soared way above the note she delivered if she had wanted too which seems obvious to anyone that has followed her career over the last few years!,also to my ears(maybe they need seringing!) it is Lucy who takes over the high notes as regards to the duet with Martha singing just below her surely!.Anyway just my thoughts,all the same thank you for your continued support as regards to Lucy's career which continues to go from strength to strength with her now having over 1 million subscribers!.😊

[@bruceobrown534]

Hi ya John -- Lucy is definitely singing the higher melody and Martha singing the low harmony. BUT WE listen to their harmonies much more frequently than he does. I hear the L & M duets every day through my playlist. Martha's voice has matured and is closer to Lucy's now so might be harder to distinguish between the two.

[@johncollins392]

​@@bruceobrown534yes but he is one of Lucy's closest followers as regards to reactors,I have no musical prowess but certainly new who was taking the high notes,I don't know what he was thinking!🤔

[@canadian1677]

Sorry, Martha is the Lower, Lucy the higher

[@johncollins392]

Yes indeed,I don't know what piece of music he was listening too,certainly not the same as I was!😅

Hi I were the one who first requested you to hear Sleep Token, i was wondering if you've been listening to more songs on your own or if you are saving it for reactions? :) If you're saving it for reactions i'd really like to watch you react to either Ascensionism or The Apparation Hope you will have a merry christmas :)

Thanks for the reaction. A little controversy to boost comments ? 😂

Sorry to comment on something completely different, but I hope you're going to give "My december" by Linkin Park a listen in the spirit of christmas. I know how you have listened to some of their songs and this song really hits a soft spot in my heart and in many mores as well. Love your content as always. :)

[@davidhurwitz2291]

Martha is still only 15

[@pickin4you]

Also, and I know it’s your opinion but this is mine. But also, the end. Those harmonies? If you watch Lucy, you can see her face change when she goes high. They are not switching. Martha sand the low end and Lucy sang the actual higher melody.

[@BattlestarDamocles]

Lucy hit higher notes than that in Pie Jesu with no problem. Maybe she's had a cold or something, you never know.

[@adamknight7041]

I don't think she'd release a professional recording whilst feeling under the weather.

[@HopelesslyAddicted-s8o]

Great reaction! The harmony these ladies bring just makes me tremble with emotion! God blessed Lucy and Martha with beautiful, angelic voices! And Lucy and Martha have blessed the world with their heavenly harmony! Please react to Lucy and Martha performing "PIE JESU" kzbin.info/www/bejne/baKvh5Vor7-qg9E By the way, I loved your reaction to Sydnie Christmas' BGT journey. I firmly agree, with you, that our Earth Angel, Lucy Thomas, has the most beautiful voice on Earth. But Sydnie's BGT journey was absolutely breath taking and so heart warming. Best regards, Hopelessly Addicted in Arizona

[@johncollins392]

Great reaction?,he has no understanding as to what was going on here,as the massive Lucy fan that you are I am surprised with your great reaction remark!.

[@randysimon7363]

Lucy at 15 had a higher voice than she does today. All of this dancing around the issue is silly. Martha is currently a soprano whereas Lucy is a mezzo or even perhaps an alto at this point. None of this is criticism; the two have different voices. Chill.

[@Peter-t9n]

I said it in an earlier comment to the reactor Chris. Go listen to PIE JESU when Lucy takes the note in this is video, even higher. According to several voice coaches, Lucy is the classic soprano.

[@pickin4you]

I think they chose that key because of the word BORN. It’s LOW. Now this is my opinion, but Lucy sang that note way easier than Martha. Martha’s high note was a tad thin. Lucy’s was stronger. Lucy has way more range than she is showing in this song. So we disagree here.

[@jbs256]

Larry, I’ve nit picked you before for not following up your nit picking fest on Tori Holub. I won’t anymore. I saw you reacted to this so I was curious. What I feared was right. You can’t hear A440 tuning. This was pitch corrected up the wazoo. They weren’t hitting those notes, Melodyne was. Their graph was so flat it was a WTF moment. No subtlety at all. Vibrato was perfectly centered long notes were flat on the line. You love Karen, you were “blown away” by Tori. You can combine both of them and multiply and they couldn’t match this performance for pitch accuracy. When you can beat Karen and Tori by a multiple factor, something is not right. Sigh…

[@johncollins392]

Someone else with no idea as regards vocal prowess!,just another one jumping on the debate as regards to pitch correction,Lucy certainly dosen't need it to sound great as her live performances will show you!,also pitch correction when used actually does nothing to enhance the vocals,actually takes away any character from the voice!
