Pharaoh Reacts: Lucy Thomas - Hallelujah - MAGICAL

[@BlackCloud82]

Pharaoh, You are the second reactor whom I've heard something like: "I actually understand the lyrics". Lucy had very clean diction and finishes words and phrases completely , thus letting us her the lyrics.

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

She is awesome!

[@richardpomerantz2820]

The audio was perfect! Thank you! At age 13, Lucy did a demo for Chris Broom who was in the process of writing a musical for the West End of London. He was so impressed with Lucy, he decided that she would be the star of his show. All the remaining songs were written for her. One of these was “Starlight “. She recorded it at aga 15. In all my years I never heard a15 year old sound as she did. Well worth a reaction!

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Thank you for the feedback Richard I really appreciate it! I will add that song as well!

[@johnbattles1002]

@@Paul-PharaohTVLucy’s “Starlight” song is absolutely beautiful and emotional at an incredible age 14! Looking forward to it!

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Ok Awesome!

LET'S GO!!!! Thank you :)

@@Colin4763 Perfect! Thank you

[@lawrenceb5236]

This song was my introduction to Lucy several years ago. Now you know why I’m a loyal fan of hers. Original songs? From her upcoming musical Rosie: We Can Change The World, Broken Dreams, etc.

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Thank you so much Lawrence!!! I will add these songs!! WOOOHOOO!!

[@downrigger002]

BTW, this was used in the movie "On a Wing and a Prayer". It is used near the end of the movie and can be seen on Prime. This is the first song many of us heard and sent us down the rabbit hold.

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Oh wow ok!!! Thank you for the info!

[@keithkerr6869]

Hi Pharaoh - good to see you back with this epic Lucy cover. She was just 16 when she dropped it. It seems that over a billion people agree with with you and me - this is just a stunning and beautiful cover of this iconic song. Yes - it was Leonard Cohen that wrote and released this song in the 1980's. FYI - Lucy, now 20, has dropped a few recent releases I would recommend you check out when you have time "Unchained Melody" and "I dreamed a dream" (2 days ago). Thx!

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Thank you Keith!!! I will add it for sure!

[@henkhessel3651]

She was 16 here. She had an entire musical written for her: Rosie (wiki Rosie Boote) . About 10 originals from this musical. The last one is "We can change the world" She did a studio version and in her Manchester concert she did a live version. She also did about 10 duets with her very talented sister Martha that you want to hear.. Enjoy.

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

WOW ok!! Thank you. I will add them to the list!

[@OldBoiler62]

She announced that she'll be opening in the West End, the UK's Broadway next month.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Leonard Cohen. I fell in love with this cover by Lucy, the first time I heard it. Just WOW! I'm so glad you loved it! 😀I'll give you some info about another version you might like, as well, on IG.

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Thank you so much!

[@georgegliszczynski8576]

Lucy is a huge talent. She should take the world by storm with a voice like hers.

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

YES!!! I agree

[@stephen8639]

As others have said anything that says Rosie in the description underneath is original and written for her as a stage musical. She also sang "Brand New Day" a theme song for an upcoming tv show still being put together the song is outstanding and Lucy is also outstanding. Any duet with her younger sister Martha almost 6 years younger is great and has sublime Harmonizations and Martha has pretty good voice, also Mam Louise sings and did a one time special with her girls singing Smile the old Nat King Cole number.

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Awesome!! Thank you so much Stephen!

Hello Paulie,, let me guess the person you shut down was Wilbur Finnigan, we all call him the "GRUMPY OLD MAN" he has the same problem with every reactor. Anyway " Hallelujah " a cover by Lucy, with over 50 million views on KZbin, this is the best ever cover of this song it is just so amazing. Lucy is going to be the leading Lady in a new musical opening early next year, " it is called "Rosie " We Can Change The World " is a new song written for Lucy by a song writer called Chris Broom this song is just great. You can find all her new songs on KZbin under Lucy Thomas Music " Rosie " there are about 12 new songs that she sings in this musical Also she has just released a cover of "I Dreamed A Dream " from Les Mis which is just so outstanding. Take care, Barbara.

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Hi Barbara!! I already did Hallelujah and it was Magical!! I will add the other songs as well!! Thank you so much!

[@trentnichols942]

Fine reaction to a Lucy Thomas classic. It was the second song that I heard her sing with the first being ‘Moon River’ in the Voice Kids UK where she sang with skill and technique not heard by 13 year olds. ‘Hallelujah’ is brilliant! The live version from her first concert March of this year (2024) is even better. How many singers are better live with only the singer, a pianist, and some backing audio. Lucy totally controlled the concert by standing and singing! Lucy is the best singer - ever. She is phenomenal!

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Yes She Is!!!! Thank you so much!!

[@robertrammullen6935]

My favourite young talent Lucy has manners too keeps in touch with fans unlike ALL YOU TUBE singers. She is beautiful sounds beautiful and has a beautiful heart

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Thank you Robert!

[@davidhill-sq9fd]

Lucy is in a musical in london called rosie and the songs have been written for lucv.

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Ok awesome! Thank you

[@anthonyl.6879]

Léonard Cohen wrote "hallelujah". I think he wrote beautiful songs, but he, himself was not a very good singer. About original songs for Lucy. She was signed by Cavendish records and she will be the lead role of the musical: Rosie. For original songs from Rosie , look for the channel : Rosie the musical. There is also a song called : Brand new day. Anything Lucy chose to sing is full of beautiful emotions, kindness and caring for others. ❤👍🥰

[@PhyllisJarosz-p1z]

This is spectacular by the amazing Lucy and to think she was only 16 years old! Her gorgeous tone, voice control , pitch perfect ,smooth as silk vocals makes her the best out there in my book! The Prayer with her sister is out of this world!

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

This is great!! Thank you so much Anthony!

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

@@PhyllisJarosz-p1z OH SNAP!!!! I love the song "The Prayer". I will add that for sure!! Thank you :)

[@HopelesslyAddicted-s8o]

Great reaction! Yes Lucy is MAGICAL! At only 16 years of age, Lucy sang this with a mature voice well beyond her years. A fellow fan lists all of Lucy's original songs in a comment below. All but one of those songs was written for Lucy to sing in her upcoming musical "ROSIE", of which she will star in West End, London. You can find them all at: www.youtube.com/@Rosiethemusical I would also like to recommend playing and reacting to: "I’LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN" - Age 15 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/apiUgqOrbr2Dgpo and “UNCHAINED MELODY”; - Age 20 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6LOqWp3q5usg8k Enjoy, Hopelessly Addicted in Arizona

Listen to her live concert !

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

I will :)

[@classicsciencefictionhorro1665]

Leonard Cohen. He wanted to use stories he learned as a child from the Torah (old testament) but he made the song secular. He was an atheist. He mixed David and Bathsheba and Samson and Delilah into a gorgeous blend of imagery. Rolling Stone had an article on how he wrote the song over a 5 year period.

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Awesome, Thank you!

[@martinfranklin8922]

Watch her live WOW!

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

She is brilliant!

[@pertwee9376]

I know that reactors have to look for something to try to differentiate themselves from the rest, but shouting is just plain annoying. Lucy's pretty good though isn't she?

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

Sorry, I just get excited and that's how I express myself. I go from 0 - 100 in a second. I appreciate you stopping in and I do appreciate the comment. I am just not your type of reactor and it's all good :) Have an awesome day.

[@barrystrachan6340]

Shame on you…you are a Canadian who couldn’t identify Leonard Cohen from Montreal who wrote this song…😁😁😁

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

HAHAHAH I am so sorry :D

[@bchu702]
