Musician/Producer Reacts to "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen Cover) by Lucy Thomas

[@JoseDthoppil]

❤

[@SteveByng]

The most beautiful voice I have ever heard by the most beautiful young woman I have ever seen.

[@peterkoeppl1186]

Mr Cohen is happy with this rendition.

[@leehawkins5795]

Her rendition of Hallelujah is the BEST I've ever heard and I've heard many.......BEAUTIFUL It's included in the Dennis Quaid movie, A Wing and a Prayer.

[@frednickerson2517]

I love lucy singing this infact I told my wife n kids that when I die I want this play when I'm laid to rest my last wish 🙏 only lucy no one else

[@davidround8679]

She's from Wigan a town in the North of England where I'm from Lucy is a down to earth young lady I've seen her busking in the town centre in years past. I'm so happy the rest of the world are beginning to see her talent.

[@briankrames1883]

David, lucky you! I'm over here in Orlando, Florida, USA, and I have to pull some serious strings to pick up 2 tickets to see what I believe is the best solo performer EVER, Miss Lucy Thomas, for her big stage premier, "Rosie", next autumn of 2024! Her masterpiece performance of "Hallelujah" was selected by America's Hollywood for the movie, "On a Wing and a Prayer", which was released here in the States back on April 7th! She just made her vocal big screen appearance and beat out hundreds of other versions of this song, yeah, no brainer here! The on-screen song is 1 minute and 25 seconds so I'm going to see this movie only because Lucy will be heard! She has a massive following in the States already!

[@colinhea]

@@briankrames1883 Is this movie on Netflix yet ? Its not been released in Spain

[@lindamarshall9724]

I’ve got all her 4 albums, she’s got a great voice, looking forward to her original songs, I love Broken Dreams from an up and coming musical Rosie.

[@AllanKunda-mp5xs]

Love it when you do Lucy reactions, you should be selecting all her songs because they are all just excellent. This is coming from a 61 year old!

[@cassandrathatsme4382]

Lucy is now 19, and she is in college, and that is why she hasn't rushed the stage in her music career. That will happen, but college is first. She is slated to perform in Rosie on the London stage in 2024, and I cannot wait for that to happen.

[@juanitamorgan5475]

She's going to be on Broadway performing in Rosie and she's going to be needing a acting coach for her performance she's busy pretty busy

[@snooker216]

Musical? Oh my God! I can only hope this doesn't impact her as an artist! Please do not get this wrong! There aren't that many really good musical titles for my taste. I can count the ones I remember on one hand. The rest is just uniformity to me. I know that this is a very subjective judgement. But the majority of musicals strike me as very amateurish in terms of performance. And that's not necessarily due to the artists' skills! A good actor can also look bad under a bad director. I hope she will be one of the artists who leaves a lasting impression in the musical genre. She definitely has the skills and deserves it anyway.

[@grahamrowley8393]

I love everything Lucy does but I honestly believe that this is the best thing I have heard in my 70+ years on this planet.

[@briankrames1883]

You were ALMOST correct Graham; it should read, "Lucy is the best thing I have heard in my 70+ years on this planet"!!

*_Thank you for your reaction to Lucy Thomas...._* Lucy has been singing since she was young, have heard as young as 7. Her first video was age 9. She is currently 18, has released 4 albums, and many singles. She is from the United Kingdom and signed a record contract right after The Voice - Kids UK at age 14. Lucy truly is one of a kind. Your reaction is typical of others hearing Lucy Thomas. I heard 'Hallelujah' the first time and was awestruck. Lucy's technical singing skills are better than many pros with decades of experience. She was only 16 or 17 when she recorded this. When I first heard it, I almost fell out of my chair. I have over a decade of singing and acting experience. I had to play song over and over to make sure my ears and eyes weren't tricking me. *_They weren't - Lucy is the real deal..._* Lucy doesn't copy songs, she improves them. Her rendition of 'Hallelujah' is best I have ever heard, and I have heard dozens before. I have a standing bet no one will beat it. Even if they copied her, they can never do it as well. The song has many millions of view for a good reason - it is talent on a whole new level. Her technical singing skills are amazing; perfect breath control, multi-octave vocal range, exact note placement, her vibrato is so tight it doesn't vary more than a 1/4 note up or down. Her physical delivery skills help listeners connect at a very emotional level. It is as Lucy is standing in front of you singing a solo just for you. She is beyond amazing. *_Thanks again for your reaction..._*

[@briankrames1883]

Yes, Lucy IS the real deal; no solo performer, past or present, will match her. "Rosie" next year, will be more proof of this and she will be known world-wide, as she should be!

[@colinhea]

[@lloydholland9522]

Every time I see her no matter what song she's singing I get chills up the back side of my back and up into my neck down my arms like I said in my other comment she was blessed truly believe she has been blessed from God with beauty character and an angel's voice

[@estanislaolabuguen9084]

Her voice is so Devine, performance is amazing and this is the best version of "Hallelujah" song.

[@dinerouk]

DIVINE!

[@briankrames1883]

By the way, this performance is now one of the soundtracks in the Hollywood movie, "On a Wing and a Prayer", which opened last Friday, April 7th! I'm sure the producers and executives of this movie looked at hundreds of versions of "Hallelujah" and Lucy's performance was selected, no shocker here! When her musical, "Rosie", is released next year in autumn of 2024, which she is the co-producer of this, along with her brilliant songwriter, Chris Broom, she will be known all over Planet Earth and her career will take off.......

I've already seen a few react videos about Lucy! from professionals from all areas of the music business and also from laypeople. But the reactions, especially from the professionals, always put a smile on my face. How Lucy is able to completely flash even people who have already heard a lot of good performance. She is simply an exceptional talent.

[@jamkpa]

Powerful....one of a kind Lucy!

[@BlackCloud82]

Jeff, I can't believe that I didn't comment before about her vibrato. I've seen you describe a perfect vibrato in other reactions. Here we have a perfectly trailing off vibrato. This is one of the first pieces of hers I watched and from the get-go I loved her voice and then that long amazing vibrato at the end of the verses just grabbed me and pulled me right in. WOW! I am a solid fan of Lucy.

I can't find words enough to express how much I enjoy and admire her voice and inner and outer beauty. I could listen to her all day long and never get tired of her singing.

Hallelujah has been one of my absolute favorite compositions since I first heard the incomparable Leonard Cohen sing it so many years ago. I have to believe it is one of the most covered songs ever. This 16 y/o young lady is extraordinary and her rendition is among the best, in my humble opinion! Leave it to Jeff to introduce us to some of the best music around! Many thanks.

[@anthonyl.6879]

Second comment. Lucy is, now , almost 19. Since this video she improved. ( Yes,...she is even better now!) Listen her original song: Broken dreams, or her cover of Barbara Streisand song: The way we were. Also, with her little sister Martha, she did , for me, the most beautiful performance of : The prayer. A must to see, ear, and feel in your soul🤗🥰❤️👍

[@randysimon7363]

Definitely listen to The Prayer and The Way We Were. That amazing voice is indeed even more amazing two years later.

[@briankrames1883]

Anthony, listen to some of her earlier songs like 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Writing on the Wall', both done at age 15, and truly showcases what extremely high talent she has......many comparisons have been made to the legendary late Karen Carpenter. No disrespect to Karen because her voice was absolutely angelic and so incredibly beautiful, but Lucy takes this to another level.......even at age 15!

[@MichelleTripp-ke2er]

[@donlloyd2988]

@ChrisScott0 You're very fortunate to live close to her appearances, and I am not in the UK, but if I were, horses couldn't drag me away from going. I did buy a ticket to her first public concert, but I guess it will remain unused as I won't make it there. I just wanted the ticket to support her. I'm in Canada, Alberta, and I can't get a passport soon enough. Flights with accommodation are around $1400 for 3 days, and with everything else, probably $2000 to $2500 and too short of a time. If I were affluent, I would not care about $$$. Have a great time.

[@ChrisScott0]

@@donlloyd2988 I live in Wigan and I’m not affluent, but it’s a 4+ hour drive there and the same back to see Lucy on Tuesday, but in March only an hour on the bus into Manchester. I’ll be going to Rosie as well in London, so another long journey for that. But I doubt premier front row seats on that. There is a saying here: “Put your month where your mouth is”. I’ve said a lot so now need to step up and support our Lucy. I’ve missed events in the past and regretted it, so I’m going for these. You only live once! I’m sat on Lucy’s table on Tuesday, and then in March on front row stall A meeting Lucy with wine. So I’ve spent a bit, but I expect will be worth it, especially this Tuesday because there is an unbelievable secret guest that has made my life never mind my day. You can ask me who it is on Wednesday. I don’t know about your flight costs, but there is cheaper accommodation outside of Manchester. Make history at Lucy’s first official own concert, and an intimate event. She could be the big star, yet you had the ticket and didn’t go. There are quite a few people flying in from the U.S. and Canada. Some are asking for a guide to Wigan, which I might do for them. You have time to even share travel and accommodation, so keep trying if you have the ticket. There is still 3 months to make it happen. I’d say you could find accommodation for £70 per night and eat cheaply for £15 per day. Basic travel in and out of the city £4 per day. £500 plus your flight should cover you plus enjoy a little, and the US dollar is strong against the Pound.

I've heard many renditions of "Hallelujah". This lovely young woman's take is beyond any I've heard so far & she sings the words, not yells or over powers them like many before, So far it's; Mr. Leonard Cohen & Lucy Thomas who makes this song what it's supposed to be. K.D. Lang's version really wasn't all that either! Oh! Notice there's a missing verse too... but it doesn't matter... . Absolutely stunning...! Now checkout anything from Mary Fahl...

Jeff, just watched this again. More observations: you smiled several times (some very slight) and tilted your head showing your interest. Even your eyebrows jumped a couple of times. And of course 'Wow'. All these (at least to me) show how Lucy pulled you right in in this video. Many of hers do that. They begin soft, smooth, and very luscious sounding. Then, lookout, she jumps up a notch or two once you're hooked. It's all very beguiling. Check out Lucy's latest, "SMILE", with Lucy, her sister Martha, and her mother Louise. It's so good I can't hardly get through it without some kind of gut.reaction.

Jeff, just like the first piece you again uttered WOW several times. Lucy just does that to a person. Two things I wish to comment on: 1. She threw herself into this piece; her body language showed that, and 2. Her killer vibrato turns me into a basket case. I listened to this two times here and after all three verses that vibrato just about wiped me out. Also, I noticed the comment right below mine by Peter asked how many people teared up hearing this. I'm right in there. 😂

[@Halli50]

My favorite kind of reactions: The Artist "has the screen", the reactor is relegated to a corner. I came across a Lucy Thomas song video some time ago and was floored. Then I came cross her version of Hallelujah and it was the cellar this time. THEN I came across Lucy and her little sister Martha singing duets - that sent me digging sub-cellar until I read somewhere that little Martha is more interested in riding horses than singing! Those sisters are something to watch out for! The only person I can even begin to compare Lucy to is Angelina Jordan. Angelina may be more versatile in her choice of music, but they both have the ability to gently take your hand and invite you, the fan, on a musical journey that is simply unforgettable!
