Lucy Thomas - Whiter Shade of Pale - Vocal Coach Reaction & Analysis

[@danielbitzer652]

There is absolutely NOTHING she cannot sing that she cannot turn it into SOLID GOLD

[@erniepierce3074]

You should listen to one moment in time another great one sang by lucy . She has become one of the best.

[@JaapFilius]

"One moment of time" is a song I have never ever liked. And although Lucy did an awesome job with it (of course she did) she couldn't help me out this time: I still; don't like it....

[@Lajos279]

Dear Juliet, I can't wait for your reaction to her recent rendition of Whitney Houston's "One Moment In Time" (studio version) and "At Last" (Etta James cover) from her live concert in Manchester! She is maturing so fast in every respect now, it's unbelievable! Although Lucy has been and always be unbelievable..! We only can speak in superlatives when it comes to this heavenly young woman's voice!

[@anthonyl.6879]

Another comment. Every time I listen to Lucy, I feel , always, a warm blanket wrapping around my heart and soul 👏🥰👍♥️

[@mikeyitfc]

See that's what i mean by just getting up and belting out the song how it was intended to sound no warbling on notes no screeching just pure voice and charisma.

[@JamieGray524]

"Just pure voice". Really? You actually being serious. You're doing more harm than good. Means this is okay to happen, you are all good with it.

Juliet love your analysis of Lucy's beautiful voice But Lucy is not only the one with beautiful blue eyes either! Love watching them looking intense, joyful, elating, with wonderment, excitement and smiling !! Thanks Juliet ❤

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

Just stunning !!! Thanks Juliet for getting to Lucy !! !

[@jimivison5837]

Hi Juliet. I remember this song being played on the Armed Forces radio in Vietnam. The lyrics of this song makes zero sense but neither did much else during that period. Lucy just killed this song. She is just so talented. I have never heard such a beautiful voice in my life and I’ve been around a while. Juliet thank you so much for your continued support and wonderful reactions of Lucy’s voice. I always look forward to reviews. Please stay safe, healthy, and free.

[@barbaracallister8138]

Hello Juliet, I hope you had a wonderful holiday in New Zealand, " A Whiter Shade Of Pale " by Lucy Thomas it has over 2.9 million views in 7 months since she made this cover, I love Lucy singing this famous old song from the 60's the production of this song along with Lucy's voice is just so good, Lucy has released " One Moment in Time " a few days ago which has over 500,000 views in 11 days so this one is doing well. " Unchained Melody " has over 1.9 million views in just over 5 weeks. & next month she is off to Tokyo for her live concert. So our Lucy is busy for awhile. Take care, Barbara

[@kit-kretar777]

Hi, Juliet. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. Lucy's voice is just the best I have ever heard and her lower register is so silky smooth and rich. This entire production, with inclusion of the ballerina and the languid beat, is outstanding. More Lucy, please. Kit

[@donkraemer50]

The background sounds like early 90s pop beat and synth. Add her amazing voice. This gave me chills

[@jimivison5837]

It’s much older than the 90’s. I remember this song being played by the Arm Forces radio in Vietnam. The lyrics makes zero sense but neither did a lot of things during that time. Similar to today. Stay safe, healthy, and free.

[@adamknight7041]

​@@jimivison5837 Well the Annie Lennox cover of this song was in the early 90's so makes sense that the production doesn't sound dissimilar to that version.

[@georgegliszczynski8576]

Hi Juliet...What a great reaction to a great cover by Lucy. We are all so sad that we didn't get to see Lucy's lovely smile. It always warms my heart. I appreciate your expertise in vocal analysis. By watching your reaction videos of Lucy, I have learned a lot about the extraordinary elements that one must master to achieve the level of Lucy's performance. And that doesn't even include the expression and emotion aspect. Quite frankly, I think Lucy is in the stratosphere and there are very few at this level. She is definitely a gift to humanity.

[@andreakammerer1654]

Hello Juliet! Nice to see you again and react to our "songbird" Lucy ! As I'm bit older I knew this song before with a nice leslie-sound....but Lucy "dressed it up into a warm beautiful "Gala ball gown" and her voice let float the skirt of the seductive melody..💃 phantastic throw in of this brilliant ballerina❤ By the way: "Lucy did a new one..ONE MOMENT IN TIME !! First cream 🤩❣ have a nice day with greetings! ANDREA🇩🇪💐

[@anthonyl.6879]

As you said, there are a lot of musical moments. Lucy and her production decided to add this ballerina, dancing on xylophone music , like the little music boxes...❤❤🥰🥰👍👍. About her performance , I do not have anymore words to describe her👍♥️♥️👍👍🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏

[@johncollins392]

​@@JamieGray524if you think Lucy us artificial then you have heard very little from her,especially her live performance from her Manchester performance,also I think the pro coaches that have analysed Lucy's vocals would have picked Lucy up already as regards to your comments!

As always usual superbly sublime warmth voices enchanting tone.

[@JonasGammersvik]

Hi juliet, thank you so much for yet another fantastic reaction to our lovely Lucy. I feel like I’m learning something new everytime I watch your reactions, singing technics, vocals, high & low notes, ect. And I just LOVE watching you react to Lucy’s music and share the exitements and adorations to her and also learn just how great an artist she actually is from a professional music coach perspective. I couldn’t agree with you more, she is simply flawless😍 I hope you will do a reaction to Lucy’s latest release witch is «One Moment in time» soon. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts about that masterpiece.

[@henkhessel3651]

Must have been potent stuff they smoked in 1967. Agree with everything you said especially the warmth of her low range. It gets warmer with every new song. Love your reaction as always. Pls do One moment in time also.

[@keithkerr6869]

Elegant, luxurious & a bunch of words like that! Have always loved this song but hearing Lucy's version just amazes me every time! I know its a cover - but this, to me is a modern masterpiece! Thanks Juliet! Oh yea - it was fun too.

[@davidwhitelaw6533]

Juliet - that was lovely - thank you for that analysis. Appropriate to the song. Most reactors fumble it - perhaps deer in the headlights? I suspect your reaction dance card is full. However, it would be a shame if you missed Lucy’s cover of Whitney Houston’s ‘One Moment in Time’ while it is time appropriate. Whitney released it for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Lucy released hers just before the start of the Paris Games which finish next Sunday.

[@HopelesslyAddicted-s8o]

Great reaction Juliet! You're the best! You are the only vocal coach reactor that I will watch more than once. And speaking of the best, there is no other voice that has the combination of clarity, purity, richness, and power that Lucy's voice has. Lucy is our Earth Angel! You mentioned that Lucy would probably be more comfortable with the lower notes now. I know you have reacted to both of Lucy's performances of "HALLELUJAH". Maybe you noticed, but just didn't mention, the difference between the two versions. At about the 55 second mark in both versions Lucy sings: "Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah" and in the production studio version, at age 16, Lucy goes high, and in the live concert version , at age 20, Lucy goes low. Please do not hesitate to play and react to Lucy's earlier performance of: “I’LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN"; kzbin.info/www/bejne/apiUgqOrbr2Dgpo At only age 15, Lucy’s emotional and powerful performance was even better than the original by Lady Gaga. Best regards, Hopelessly Addicted in Arizona

[@trentnichols942]

Juliet, Thank you for a fine reaction and enlightening analysis for Lucy’s performance. I always learn something about singing or about Lucy’s style from you. I remember when this song was released - it was played all of the time on radio stations. Nothing as elegant as Lucy’s performance. Lucy has a broad range of genres where she excels. Thank you again.

[@anneruiz7602]

Juliet, thank you so much for your beautiful description of Lucy’s voice and your reaction. I always look forward to your reactions of Lucy…. Thanks again!

[@k-did853]

What a wonderful reaction Juliet, your enthusiasm is so positive, joyful, encompassing. We all can’t help but be enthusiastic over Lucy! Divine song.

[@davidcokley1929]

Hi Juliette, I'm with you. I miss Lucy's smile when I watch this video too. The rest of it is typical Lucy perfection. One Moment In Time was posted by Lucy, and you really need to listen to it.

[@JaapFilius]

This is so, so beautiful.... What I do like about Lucy (and Angelina Jordan and Emma Kok as well): they "mean business" from as soon as they starts to sing the first note. And, maybe even more important, to draw us in the emotions they want to convey to us. They are absolute masters in that department:they are not "just" singing the songs, they recite the songs. As Emma told a year ago in a interview: "I try to let the audience feel inside what I feel inside when I sing it". Well, you know at first hand how true that is.... And I have no doubt: here it is the same what happens: We got to feel what Lucy is feeling inside.

[@pedromancenithe3rd]

Yes, great reaction as usual. As someone has already mentioned, it would be interesting to get your reaction to Lucy's live version of Etta Jaames " At Last", from her Manchester concert.. It showcases Lucy's smokey voice. She really is brilliant at every genre she performs. Also Lucy's rendition of "One moment in time" has nearly 512K views in just 11 days on KZbin. As usual she crushes it BUT you don't get the smile. However you do get the classic smile at the end of "Unchained Melody" , which in my opinion is better than the original. E

[@Oddballthegreat406]

Hi Juliet as you know I'm a big PJ fan and Lucy fan. I was so disappointed that PJ cancelled their London show and I didn't get to see them. I do however have tickets to Lucy's concert on 22nd October in London. It would be great if you could make it to see her West End debut

[@5pmevans]

Love both Lucy’s performance and your reaction Juliet, thanks! Btw I saw Procol Harum sing this live in 1968 a few months after it was No 1 in the UK charts for six weeks in 1967

[@Lajos279]

And I forgot to mention her incredible cover of "All By Myself" (Céline Dion)!

[@jaymcclure-i8y]

Love this reaction. Your excitement is contagious and so fun to watch. thanks a bunch!

[@lawrenceb5236]

Hi Juliet. Nice analysis as usual. It’s funny that when I 1st heard Lucy sing this, I noticed her beautiful lower register. Then I noticed how the word “lonely” sounded so good in that register. And that happened again a few months ago when Sydnie Christmas sang “Tomorrow”. Again, that word “lonely” sounded so good in her lower register. Is the word “LONELY’ such a powerful word when it’s sung in the singer’s lower register?

[@AlanMerritt-n9q]

Awesome reaction to my favourite singer from my favourite reactionist. If that a word. Lol

[@RossNixon]

One can never have too much Lucy! ❤

[@jaymcclure-i8y]

Since we are getting off of "main stream" Lucy, how about reacting to "The CLimb" which is a duet with Martha. It is even more "up tempo" and just seems to be a perfect fit for them as a duet. The rhythm, the beat and the tempo just seems to be right in their "wheelhouse", as if they performed this type of pop song all the time. And Martha really brings her "A Game" to this one. I promise you will have tons of things to point out and react to. I was never really a fan of the song......until I heard them do it. Just a superb job by both Lucy and Martha.

[@richeswebcraft]

🙂 thanks Juliet. Nice reaction. This one's smooth as silk...

[@petergatland50]

Totally agree with all your comments, Lucy is one of the best singers on the planet at this moment in time..... Thanks as always for your review and I look forward to the next one.

[@richarderamirez5909]

Just want to say I thoroughly enjoy your enthusiasm for Lucy's singing. Would you please do a review of the sisters duet "The Climb". I looked if you're already did this one. Couldn't find it. Martha is older in this one. Thanks again for your enjoyable videos! You're the BEST!

[@AndrewStritch]

i love this song from Lucy great direction from Chris Broom with the ballet dancer in the background . i love your comments as always informative . have you reacted to One Moment In Time an astoniishing cover from Lucy Thomas in my opinion her best to date

[@BlackCloud82]

Juliet, you're really wound up for this one. Lucy didn't let you (or me) down. right out-of-the-gate, as soon as Lucy began singing your eye brows popped, a smile came on your face, and out came Wooh! I notice that Lucy did some ornamentation on some words. Ex: "fandango" she put a little drop down at the end of the word. Then twice on "later" she went up. I had heard this melody in the Sandra Bullock film "The Net". But this video is amazing. As usual Lucy's voice and breath control really shines here. It's so smooth and pleasing, and restful. The ballerina is also very chill and restful. Although you (and I ) like the smile at the end, I think it might not have fit on this rendition.

[@edwinbarnett9032]

Hey Juliet, when are you going to react to more of Lucy's live performances at her Manchester concert. You were so looking forward to seeing them BUT as far as I know, you've only reacted to One " Hallelujah" what about "At Last," "Somewhere" and "We can change the world". ???

[@stever7732]

Another excellent performance from Lucy, nice low register and a very nicely put together video. But I think I still just prefer the Annie Lennox version by a small margin. While I don’t think Annie can match Lucy’s technical skills, I feel the extra years in her voice, and with more life experiences to call on, allows her to sell the song’s melancholy slightly better. I also don’t think the application of voice effects was quite as well done with this recording as it was with Annie’s.

[@BlackCloud82]

Juliet, Lucy used her vibrato masterfully here. In many renditions she holds a note then adds vibrato as it trails off. Here she seems to be hitting the note with vibrato to begin with and then as the note trails off her vibrato decreases too. Just thought that juxtaposition of the note and vibrato made this one a little different. There's no end to what Lucy can do.

[@colinhea]

Hi Juliet Great reaction to Lucy´s version of this iconic song .Definitely the Annie Lenox version although as always Lucy has made it her own. The inclusion of the Ballerina was a brilliant move it adds to the overall theme and brings it together .Lucy´s beautiful low register is very evident in this song and of course as you say how much better can she get .Well we had Unchained Melody and Now We have "One Moment in Time" which is in the stratosphere .you really must react to it and you will see what we all mean. here is a link to it kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3LVnXipoqqMqLcsi=hgEtH1RcP-YypFXI Thanks for your continued support for Lucy. By the way you have a troll at the bottom of the feed.

[@jbs256]

Hi Juliet, I love Lucy (pun intended) she’s to my ear a lovely singer. Beautiful reaction/analysis. Before I found Lucy I found Tori. So I’m going to see if you want to discover another VOICE. The song cover should tell you everything. Here’s Tori Holub (Ha Lubb) singing lead/backing, the producer of this video and he does soooo much is James Wilkas (read the credits at the end). The song is We’ve Only Just Begun, originally by Carpenters. They went there. Enjoy and as Jim states, buckle your seat belt! Joe kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGqYnZmAptRsjLssi=MUQ8RvqAj1J2gF6n . Edit: I realized you don’t know Tori from Eve. So let me link an unrelated Short video that shows you she can actually sing. It’s nothing like the full video I linked above so no spoiler. Also notice her brand new microphone! 😊 U87. Gee who’s famous for using one? “Sam” kzbin.infoWzrpXaZKT7Y?si=sRsG6LpEXIxVyh01 .

Annie Lennox was probably my favourite female vocalist of all time that's until Lucy Thomas came along, I actually prefer Lucy's version her tones have more depth and sound warmer I wasn't actually as keen on Annie Lennox singing this song as some of her own material "Why" is still her masterpiece.

[@mikeyitfc]

it's a studio version all studio produced songs sound this way maybe with the exception of Ed Sheeran. You can hear her voice if you so desire because she has done her first live concert in Manchester.

[@JamieGray524]

@@mikeyitfc You are so wrong. A lot of music studio produced are minimal on it and some they don't even use pitch corrections. Depends on the artist and how much they need it. Then there is enhancements and the normal stuff that is not cheating in my opinion. It makes the track sound better. But pitch correction is a cheat and it is displayed here in every note, not just one or two where there was a mistake. If I was a super fan of Lucy I will try to make this known so producers stop doing this. So please get it right, not all studio produced sound this way, this is fully pitch corrected, every note. So this obviously does not make me to even attempt to go to a live concert of hers, because maybe I will be treated with a miming performance. Wouldn't be surprised.
