Thank you @philharris5848 for suggesting this! As you can hearing this song again after a long while certainly put a smile on my face.

[@anthonyl.6879]

Lucy was signed by a record company at age 13, but it looks her parents did not want her to be too close to the show business at a too young age. It is why she is ,really, blossoming now, and just started to give concerts.

[@AleksReacts]

I like that actually. It seems like Diana Ankudinova, the focus is on quality and safety, rather than money. 😊❤

[@martinfranklin8922]

Welcome to the world of Lucy and her angelic voice

[@HarveyShevchik-di6tx]

In my humble opinion, lucy is the very best singer on this planet. What a pleasure to watch her develop into super stardom.

[@AleksReacts]

In view of this one song, she did great! I know I like her - to know how much, I need to hear more. Now, I don't know enough to proclaim she is the best in the world or not, but also I can't limit myself to one who is the best. I mean every single singer/artist I've reacted to so far is amazing in their own way - Dimash with his insane range, Diana with the color of her voice, Lara with the emotions outpour along with an excellent voice and control, Ren with extremely thought-through live videos and lyrics packed along with his unique tone... I don't want to choose. I want to listen to the best, and so far, I have thanks to the very good taste of this community. The only one that didn't impress me is Brandon Stone, but then he had Diana to save the song...

[@ThomasDuvalis-pb2oz]

@@AleksReacts I certainly agree. I'm 84, I've 'Been-around-the-block-a-few-times.' I've seen, and heard a great many seriously talented folks. I'd be a bit uncomfortable claiming one of them "The Worlds Best." (Ooops, however, I do kinda like Dimash an awfully lot...!)

[@AleksReacts]

Yeah, I don't think there is such a thing as the "best in the world". There could be someone out there we never heard of and never will who is even better, and even then, it's a matter of taste.

Welcome to Lucy channel. A musical wonderland. You will find videos from when she was 10 , until now ..something like 70 videos. I am sure you will enjoy your journey 👍🥰♥️

[@AleksReacts]

Thank you so much! Well, this was great for a start. ❤

[@henkhessel3651]

Hi Aleks. You just tumbled down the rabbit hole. You'll find out there's no way back. She's that good. About 70 masterpieces to enjoy. She started at 7, auditioned at 13, got a record contract and the leading role in a musical (Rosie) at 14. Did 5 albums + an album from the musical by now. About 10 of her songs are duets with her 5y,8mo younger sister Martha. These duets are special gems! She is 20y now. 1st public concert last March in Manchester. Next one Sep 8 in Tokyo.. Enjoy.

[@AleksReacts]

I didn't do it intertidally, it's all @philharris5848's fault. 🤣 However, I will intentionally enjoy. 😉

[@David-gi6nv]

Welcome to the Wigan Wonder. No one has the cards this girl has. Try her...... what a voice, what a beauty, what a humble soul.

[@AleksReacts]

I am not going to jump before saying "hop", but she does have my attention. There will be more of Lucy on this channel...

[@DennisButton-lh6gr]

You must watch "the prayer" Lucy and her little sister Martha are beautiful together. I don't know that I have ever heard a voice better than Lucy's.

[@AleksReacts]

I've added it to the list. Thank you!

[@mmarchman3907]

What a "pure, beautiful, simple" reaction! Lovely - thank you for such a perceptive and thorough and appreciative response. Lucy is something special and has rabid fans - lots of them, me included. Her videos range from age 16 to 20 and many are just stunning ("Evergreen," "At Last" (in concert), "Hallelujah" (age 16), "The Way We Were," "Somewhere' (studio version, age 18).

[@AleksReacts]

Thank you so much! A pleasure to have a viewer such as yourself. 😊 As I do plan to continue my reactions to Lucy, I've added all the songs you listed to the queue.

[@pedromancenithe3rd]

Nice reaction to this phenomenal talent. Try a contrast by reacting to the live version of the jazzy Etta James classic "At Last" then the heavenly "Pie Jesu" with her younger sister Martha. This will give you an idea how versatile Lucy is. Lucy and Marth's cover of "The Prayer" is regarded as one of , if not the best rendition of this song ever recorded and Martha was only twelve years old -- it's unbelievable! T

[@AleksReacts]

Thank you! I hope you're going to like what's coming up today, because my reactions to Lucy's At Last will be up in a couple of hours. 😊

[@jackwickwire3389]

Very, very nice reaction. Yes, Lucy has a lot of fans which she prefers to call supporters. That being said, she isn’t a household name … yet. How exciting that you are now a part of making her one.

Thank you so much! That would be great - I do hope my reactions help the artists even if it is in a small way, but still... I really liked her here. More to come...

[@StephenReynolds-jk7dv]

Appreciate your reaction to Lucy. Hope you cover more of her songs as I believe Lucy to be the best vocalist in the world today, and is a humble, sincere lady with a warm, accepting personality and has worked hard to perfect her voice over many years. Lucky us!

[@AleksReacts]

Your comment is appreciated as well. Thank you! I will certainly listen to more of Lucy's songs, I've only just begun. 🙂 She seems like a sweet and well mannered young lady aside from having been blessed with a really pleasant voice. 💕

[@jeffkooistra264]

You just heard why so many of us think of her as the best there is right now. Gorgeous voice, perfect control, great display of emotion -- no matter what she covers it sounds perfect. And just wait until you hear her duets with her little sister! On top of that Lucy is an incredibly sweet, nice, charming human being. You will enjoy getting to know her. Here is my suggestion for a song to react to. This is her live performance of "At Last" from a few months ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pobMk4V9ndiCpZI

Hello Aleks, thank you for your reaction to Lucy singing " Unchained Melody " this cover is just so special, everybody is just so impressed with Lucy she is so very spsecial. You have to go back in time to when she was 14 or 15 years old and she covered a song from Dreamgirls called "Listen" this song blew me away, how can such a young girl sing like this. she is now just turned 20 years old. She has over 70 classic songs on her KZbin channel, she had her first live concert in Manchester UK last March the next concert is in Japan in September. Take care Barbara.

[@AleksReacts]

Thank you so much, Barbara! Listen is added to the list. I have no idea what I'm going to react to next as so many suggestions came my way. This was indeed a surprise. What I do know is that there will be more reactions to Lucy - I like her, a lot of people seem to like her, worth listening to more. 😊 Take care, Aleks

[@bruceobrown534]

Hi ya Alek - Welcome to the wonderful world of Lucy Thomas. Thank you for reacting to the best vocalist in the world today. Check out the ‘LUCY THOMAS MUSIC’ KZbin channel where there are over 60 videos and 6 albums shown. I am actually happy that new reactors are featuring Lucy and Lucy & Martha. The more reactors, the wider the audience for Lucy's music. I sincerely hope you will continue to react to Lucy and promote her music to those who haven't been blessed to hear her. Also check out the 9 duets with her younger sister Martha - incredible harmonies. Have a great year and stay safe & healthy!!!

[@AleksReacts]

Thank you so much Bruce! ❤ I do hope that reactions actually help. Then again, I found out about Lucy through comments on my other reactions, so I guess in a way - we do. I will keep going, mainly because I liked the first song I heard. 😊

[@Peter-55]

Hi, welcome to the Lucy Thomas world. I could recommend so many of Lucy’s performances, but if I was asked to choose two I would suggest her version of ‘At Last’ from the recent concert in Manchester, UK (her first live concert), and the duet with her sister Martha of ‘The Prayer’. 🥰🇬🇧

Thank you, Peter! I have received so many suggestions, so I can't say which one will be next, but "At Last" live sounds intriguing.

[@georgegliszczynski8576]

Hi Aleks...Very excellent reaction! I think that Lucy is certainly one of the best of the current generation of young vocalists. Personally, I have never heard or seen anyone who can surpass her. Lucy is pure and genuine. She does not need to use any gimmicks or flaunt her body. Her voice and presentation is gold. Award winning! And her inner and natural outer beauty is a rarity in the world today. Putting it plain and simply, Lucy is world class.

[@AleksReacts]

Thank you so much! I really like the fact that she is doing what Adele did - she sings, that's all. Nothing more should be needed and her voice really is very good.

[@Rackelhane]

I have followed Lucy for a few years now and she is getting better and better. Today she is one of the best no doubt about it. There are moore..I want moore. Great reaction. Thank you.

Thank you for taking time to listen to my reaction. This song deserves a promotion, and though this is a small channel, every little bit counts I hope. 😊

[@colinhea]

Hi Aleks my first time here I saw Lucy Thomas advertised so I had to look. You have stumbled across one of the best female vocalists in the world today Lucy started singing at 7 years old ,given a recording contract at 14 She is starring in a musical opening in London´s West end early next Year This musical was written for her to star in by award winning songwriter and owner of Cavendish records Chris Broom. Chris has had Lucy under contract since she was 14 .Lucy has over 70 songs on her channel she has covered all of the Divas and many say bettered them But that is something you will need to find out for yourself. This song has been my favourite song since I heard it in the film Ghost by Bobby Hatfield which up until now was my favourite version Now it is Lucy´s .She just has a beautiful pure voice and her vocal abilities are master class. Thanks for supporting Lucy and hope you react to more.

[@AleksReacts]

Happy to hear that you did look! Welcome to the channel. 😊 I've heard so much about Lucy in the 1.5 days this has been uploaded, so aside from the fact that I liked her rendition of this song, I am convinced that I do need to hear more. Always happy to support a good singer, after all, they're supporting me as well because without them I'd have nothing to react to. 😁 There will definitely be more of Lucy, but since I've become a fan of all music I've reacted to so far (some more, some less, I am human after all), I suggest you check out some of the others as well. So far, the community on this channel has only suggested class artists, well worth watching, like Lucy, after all.

[@pertwee9376]

If you like beautiful old songs you will love Lucy. She's got them coming out of her ears.

[@AleksReacts]

I do, so I guess I'll keep going. She really did this one justice, hopefully this style of singing continues - it's just "music to my ears". 😉

@@AleksReacts Actually even some old songs which I was never particularly enamoured with become beautiful to me after receiving the Lucy Thomas treatment. But then I believe she is the best singer on the planet, and I am far from being alone. If you listen to some of the stuff she knocked out four or five years ago when she was only 15 or so you will soon see how extraordinary this girl is.

[@AleksReacts]

Easy does it, one by one and if she hooks me totally, only means she should have. 😉 I happen to like a lot of the oldies thanks to my dad, so she might be just the type of singer and I'll probably like more than one song, but I don't want to say anything in advance.

Hahahahaha, this is the most creative way someone has "asked me" to keep reacting to their favorite artist. You got me - I will listen to more. 🤣 I think Smile will be next, as I vaguely remember that song from my childhood.

[@hjr6139]

It is the exact definition of Lucy Thomas "A crystalline voice" Pure and perfect... that clarity reminds me of Sohyang, which I already mentioned to you (She is the queen of the mixed voice). The beautiful Lucy is perfect, seamless and seems easy; I guess there will be a great training behind it. In any case, there is nothing written about tastes, I agree with the versions of The Righteous Brother and Elvis Presley. Not a single but for Lucy... the versions she mentioned touched my heart. It is a beautiful melody among the great classics and great covers have been made (I seem to remember another one by Morissette Amon). Anything Morissette does is great; but I don't have this one marked in my memory. As always, Aleks, I have to congratulate you on your beautiful reaction (You looked like you were humming under your breath) Thanks again.

[@AleksReacts]

Thank you so much! I only said what I felt, and seems many are in agreement on the main quality of Lucy's voice - clear and pure. What's not to like? I've noted both Sohyang and Morissette Amon. There are 400+ requests, but I will go over them slowly, but surely. Sometimes I feel I need a totally new artist, so that's when it will happen. I wasn't humming, could have ruined her singing if I was, but I was very aptly lip-syncing. It's also funny how I remembered all the words, as it really has been ages since I heard the song. 😂 Thank you again for consistently checking what's new and I am very glad you like it. ❤

I'm so glad that you enjoyed my request, Lucy can sing any style of music perfectly. May I recommend another song "Mary Did You Know" this time Lucy sings a duet with her 5 years and 8 months younger sister Martha. Their harmonies are really incredible, and I'm sure you'll love this performance. These young ladies are in my opinion very special. Thank you.

[@AleksReacts]

I am glad as well, this was a good choice and it seems my music taste is showing though my reactions. Thank you for picking up on that and suggesting this one! ❤ I pretty much like all music that moves me, be it opera, punk, rock, evergreen, folklore or metal, but the voice HAS to be good for me to enjoy it. I've added Mary Did You Know to the list, so now I have to pick my next one by Lucy. 😊

Thank you for your great reaction. So glad you found Lucy. Your description of her was right on. Can't wait until you do more Lucy. Not only is Lucy a stunning vocalist, she is also a stunning individual. One of the most kind and humble people you will ever meet. I'm sure you noticed her emotional conveyance, it is all real. Not Acting. That along with her breath control, controlled vibrato, perfect pitch, beautiful tone, wide range and over all skill makes her one of the best in world right now. You will never be disappointed in anything Lucy does, I promise. I have been following her since she was 13. She is now 20 years old. she actually sounded this good when she was 13 even. The only thing that has really changed in her voice over that period is her lower register. It has gotten more richer and fuller. See you soon! Oh, I should warn you that there is this thing we call the "Lucy Effect". You will be drawn in by Lucy in such a way that you feel mesmerized, stunned and possibly a little teary eyed and if not teary eyed, I promise your emotions will be stirred if not aroused. But you will have a hard time explaining how she makes you feel. That's the Lucy Effect.

Stunning performance from Lucy,don't know if she is the best vocalist around,but she is certainly my favourite,i have followed her & seen her grow over the last few years,she has been brought along carefully by her family & Chris Broom of Cavendish records who is very much her mentor,he saw something special in her on hearing her at the age of 14,she was 20 last February,Lucy has also finished all her schooling whilst being involved in her musical career!.she is sheer class!😊

Her voice is clear, her control is excellent, this song suits her, but before I can tell if she is one of my favorites, I do need to hear more than one performance.

Afterwards, she was signed to Cavendish Records - a new label, named after prestigious scientist Henry Cavendish, that specializes in classical crossover and musical theatre. Lucy had her 1st live concert in Manchester a few month ago; setlist includes "At Last", "Evergreen", "Hallelujah", "Somewhere", "We Can Change the World" and 12 others...

Hi ya again Aleks - I forgot to mention ... I loved this reaction and the look on your face when Lucy hit that high note close to the end of the song. I sincerely believe you will love Lucy after reacting to or just listening to a few of her videos. All of her videos are very tasteful and not complicated. Some of the 4 LIVE videos that have been posted from her concert are re-dos from studio videos but are even better since she is older and more mature. AND her duets with Martha are other-worldly - thanks again - enjoy this rabbit hole I think you will enjoy going down. Cheers!

At age 14, Lucy was considered to be a vocal prodigy. At that age she challenged Byonce with her cover of “Listen”. At 15 she was considered not only good enough for Broadway but good enough to star on Broadway! At 16 she covered Hallelujah which one of the most beautiful covers ever recorded. It has amassed almost 50 million views on UTUBE. Somewhere originated by Barbara Streisand is another great cover. Lucy’s voice has now matured to the great cover you just reacted to. There are so many covers to listen to including some from her upcoming starring role in Rosie the musical due to open on the West End of London very soon.

Again, learning a lot about Lucy in these few hours. Thank you! The fact that she "dared" to cover Barbara Streisand says a lot, that is not an easy singer to follow. The same goes for a starring role on the West End of London. I am interested in hearing more...

@@AleksReacts she also did Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You at age 17. Not what you would expect from someone so young. Quite amazing actually!! She also does duets with her much younger sister which produce harmonies from heaven! They did a cover of the “Prayer “ which many believe was better than the Celine Dion version. I hope you enjoy!!!

[@AleksReacts]

I don't know if I can listen to I Will Always Love You again, but maybe that's a good reason to try. Believe it or not, I never heard Celine Dion's Prayer. When someone mentioned it for the first time I thought it was My Prayer by The Platters. 😂 Later on someone else said whose song it was and I realized I don't know the song at all.

The original is from Todd Duncan , from the film unchained 1955 . Not the RB brothers, although they made it famous . This performance from Lucy as you noticed follows the Bobby hatfield version very closely .Thats what you get from Lucy crystal clear vocals .Her lane is mainly musical theatre.

[@AleksReacts]

I think I only ever heard The Righteous Brothers version. Thank you for sharing more information about the song and the original artist.

Hello - Thx for this reaction - very much enjoyed!! I am glad you discovered Lucy & hope you will do more of her. Like many on here - I have come to believe that "to my ears" she is the best vocalist on the planet - at the ripe age of 20. Her main music channel has close to 70 songs, which are all great - they really are. Like this one - she has covered many of the greatest most iconic songs - by the greatest artists ever and has killed or done justice to every single one. Just did her first LIVE concert recently in Manchester UK - if you have time check out any of those releases "At Last" is most recent. Her live voice may even be better than her studio voice - just unreal Thx!

[@AleksReacts]

Thank you! At Last has been added to the list, still don't know which one will be next, but there will be more reactions to Lucy. 😊

Hehe, glad you liked it! 😊

Thank you Aleks. Your reaction was one of the most genuine and honest that I’ve seen in a while. There are many, myself included, who find Lucy’s talent mesmerising, and there is real enjoyment in watching someone like yourself, discover her beautiful voice for the first time. I for one would love to watch you discover Lucy at just 17 years old and her sister Martha at just 12 years old tackle the iconic duet ‘The Prayer’ as sung by A Bocelli and Celine Dion. Personally, the Thomas sisters are now my benchmark… I wonder how you might feel? Lucy has just turned 20, and recently her first concert displayed her raw talent live. Please show us your thoughts on the wonderful , timeless song ‘At last’ . Again thank you for your effort in bringing this to us, and thank you also Phil, one of many champions of Lucy. Subscribed on the first view, I found this very enjoyable Aleks! 🙏🏻

[@AleksReacts]

Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤ To remain true to myself, I don't know how I feel yet. I've only heard one song. Admittedly, I liked this one very much, but before I can say anything more I think I need to hear more. In that spirit I have written up your suggestions along with all the others that poured in so quickly, I'm still a bit stunned. Btw, you can always check out what's been suggested/requested so far on a Google sheet link on my channel, if you're interested. So far the entire community on this channel has only suggested excellent artists, some for people of different tastes maybe, others very much the type of music that Lucy sings as well, but all are very good.

[@k-did853]

@@AleksReacts…. and that it why you are genuine! There have been many ‘one hit wonders’ through the ages, so I totally understand you feeling one song is not enough for an enduring opinion, however, we will all thoroughly enjoy watching the captivation unfold. Cue the ‘ Mwahaha’ 😝 😀

[@k-did853]

@@AleksReacts thank you, I will definitely check that out Aleks!

[@AleksReacts]

Now, you got me worried there with the "Cue the ‘ Mwahaha’". Lord knows what I'm in for. 😂

[@stephendixon7542]

Suggest Evergreen, At Last, La vie en rose,

[@AleksReacts]

Thank you for your suggestions. All are added to the list.

[@aixmhros]

maybe it's her voice but the vid ain't live.

[@johncollins392]

If you make a statement like that then back it up!,anyway if you had heard Lucy at her recent concert in Manchester you would realise how good she is live!

[@AleksReacts]

Does it matter, as long as it is her voice?

[@AleksReacts]

I am honestly sure that the microphone here was only a prop, but I also think this is her real voice. It did not feel like there was autotune involved.

[@user-tb4bt5dq2i]

and your point is?

[@kit-kretar777]

@@AleksReacts You don't "autotune" a beautiful voice like Lucy's. Good grief! Chris Broom, her producer, records almost all of her videos live. Judging by her live concert performances, I wouldn't be surprised if they are "one take". Kit
