'She Used To Be Mine' - Lucie Jones | Waitress the Musical (London)

[@leahmh9197]

Was in the audience this night, and I’m telling you this video will never do it justice. I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t in tears. Utterly flawless.

[@dumblebee9167]

fruitcake975 and I’m sure even that didn’t compare to when she did it during the show... just breathtaking 😍😭

[@dolcie7563]

I was too and it was incredible

[@gbranscombe]

I would have loved to have seen this!

[@elizabethbaxter8708]

fruitcake975 I was there as well! The most mind blowing performance I’ve ever seen. Her voice is next level amazing.

[@annacheeseman3481]

I was there too. After the last note there was this split second of echo while we all reassembled ourselves and then we were on our feet!

[@madeleinetierney8993]

She really performs this like a monologue that just happens to be put to music. Completely character driven. Bloody flawless.

[@anotherdamntroll3246]

Absolutely amazing. She didn't just sing it, she acted it perfectly

[@annbrown4056]

Saw this in November 2021 in Manchester. Amazing show. Everyone laughing, cheering and crying. Such wonderful performances

[@suerushton3709]

Fantastic performance, absolutely smashed it, well done Lucy..You sure showed Simon how wrong can one be!!!!! 👏

[@alexandrahill1459]

The fact she can sing like this while still keeping up the accent blows me away

[@blackclavish]

Most accents are not distinguishable when singing.

[@darkangel4994]

Madeline Mantiss but...she’s literally singing with an accent. you can distinctly hear it. do you not get that?

[@blackclavish]

Dark Angel > do you not get what? She is not “literally” singing with an accent. That’s just plain dumb. That, or your comment is stupid.

[@80s_graffiti]

@@blackclavish she is singing with an accent bro

[@blackclavish]

80sGraffiti > exactly what accent is that because Lucie Jones is certainly not an American woman from the south. She doesn’t sound anything like that - if you’re saying she sounds like what Jennie is supposed to sound like.

[@anna.b2401]

The fact she'd literally just finished a show like 2 mins before and can still do this. Im done

[@garyhawkins-pianoteacherpi6490]

Incredible isn’t it ? I was lucky enough to be about 2ft from her face during a production of Rent in a small theatre some years ago and I could actually hear the real voice without going through the PA because I was so close and I’ve never heard anything like it before or since. Amazing !!!

[@shelbimcmullen5483]

Annabanana2401, she had just finished the show and then performed this? Wow!! What’s the story behind this performance?

[@anna.b2401]

@@shelbimcmullen5483 it was the 300th performance of waitress in london so to celebrate they recorded this straight after the show. Thats why shes in the costume she wears at the end of the show and isnt pregnant or in the house

[@shelbimcmullen5483]

Annabanana 2401 Thank you!

[@dolcie7563]

I was at the show and it was incredible

[@carolinepenny8434]

Went to see waitress this afternoon in Manchester. I’ve been in a very cruel and abusive marriage for the last few years and finally had the courage to say I’ve had enough. Been so isolated but I so wanted to get back out and enjoy life on my own again despite feeling broken beyond belief. Had no idea the storyline for this musical but felt like I was watching my own life and for the first time in years I felt compassion for myself. What a beautiful voice Lucie has.

[@amelied6517]

I was there too!! I’m so sorry you went through that, things will get better, I promise. Have a nice day, and happy new year :)

[@tammy1690]

Bless you. Wishing for you a happy and content future. Xxx

I hope you get to feel free again soon, wishing the absolute best for you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@aliceg8083]

I'm so sorry you went through that, huge well done for having the courage to leave. Wishing you every blessing for the future xxx

[@samwasthebest6633]

I’ve heard that 50% of marriages end in divorce, and the other 50% wish they had one.

[@emilycox9559]

The fact that she had to wipe her eyes at the end because she started crying. Class act. Unworldly vocals. Get it girl.

[@--6487]

That mixed voice in the belting is so fucking perfect. Jesus christ, just closing my eyes and listening to her transition from chest to mixed to head is so beautiful

[@ghostmadlittlemiss]

Ikr? I would love to be able to sing like that! But lessons are a bit out of my budget and I suspect I’d need a professional teacher rather than trying to teach myself or I could probably damage my voice trying.

[@leah_bouzgarrou]

@@ghostmadlittlemiss the easiest way to teach yourself to mix is by learning to soft yodel with the 5 vowels of the alphabet. go down a scale singing a, e, i, o, u then go up a scale singing it again. then try to switch through going up and down a scale between each vowel.

[@hannahremmel9550]

She has one of the best accents. It’s really hard to train yourself to sing with a southern accent. I’m FROM the south and I have to think about it. Welsh to American then add southern. THAT really is talent. And those growls! 👏

[@dailinshee7585]

She's Welsh, not far from where I live :) She was on the X Factor years and years ago. Absolute tradgedy when they eliminated her to these two dumbasses called Jedward

[@ellielouise7005]

dailin shee I absolutely had not made the connection, can’t believe i’ve been addicted to this video for a week and not realised I have her autograph and spent a lot of my parent’s money voting for her when I was younger. How weird.

[@rhiannonlois6880]

Hannah Remmel you do know that England and Wales are two separate countries right??

[@hannahremmel9550]

Rhiannon Rees yeah? I thought it changed in the original post but apparently it didn’t. It was just simply ignorance on my part. If I offended anyone, I’m sorry? Take it easy (as in, have a good day).

[@rosiemarie3836]

Especially from where she is from in Wales it’s a really hard accent to change/get rid of

[@charlottehodges7422]

Her riffs are just the best things ever

[@cheytaylor1928]

OML YES

[@robertdiepold2242]

I remember Simon Cowell saying one of her performances on X Factor was boring and she sang it like an actress, take this Simon -lol

[@karenhardie1132]

Yeah, Adam Lambert, Kat McPhee, Daughtry, Kane Brown, Maren Morris, Lauren Daigle. Just a few of the people that lost on idol. Those shows are popularity contests.

Holy CRAP. She's Phenomenal.

🖤 right?

[@julianamerritt]

She truly is. Every single nuance in this song is perfection. Such talent!!

[@rogbrown1965]

Couldn't have put it better myself. Rog Pacific sunset records .just beautiful!.

[@AnnaWoods]

The moment she lost to Jedward on Xfactor was my villain origin story

[@simonopps]

Mine was when she was robbed at Eurovision.

[@AnnaWoods]

@@simonopps ugh true she was phenomenal but I mean everyone hates us so it never looked good

[@markpieexplores]

I’ve always thought she’s been underrated; Simon never seemed to think much of her but she was my favourite. So good to see her blooming

[@simonopps]

@@AnnaWoods The song was good, her vocals were amazing and the staging was just perfect and gorgeous and amazing and everything.

[@voloshanca]

@@simonopps one of the best performances Eurovision has ever witnessed. Periodt. Still makes me cry every single damn time I happen to rewatch it.

[@ellieg97]

Caroline flacks mother has just said Lucie sang this at Caroline's funeral. What a beautiful song 💜 rest now 🌠

[@easycheesy5717]

When I saw her in London, I could swear the people in the rows gave her a standing ovation, I couldn’t tell because I am poor and was sitting in the upper dress circle

[@mee5780]

Yes I've seen standing ovations after Lucie sings this song. The only time I've seen that in London. On Broadway it happened after Celie sings I'm Here in Color Purple.. love those moments.. ☺️

[@daneggo2437]

I can tell you at this performance she got a standing ovation 3 times, after the first time she sang it, at the bows and after this version! Well atleast the cheap seats up top gave her a standing ovation, so if we stood up even with the terrifying heights, I'm sure the people on the flat did!

[@esther8298]

when me and my sister went few weeks/months go we were sitting up front and at the end of the song we stood up

[@AdAsh650]

When we went the whole theatre from top to bottom gave her a standing ovation.

[@annabellecox7133]

I booked upper dress circle and got upgraded to like 5th row in the stalls

[@nellie8750]

The ‘fight just a little’ gets me every time

[@adamrotchford3821]

I’m in tears, why? Cause I have a teenage daughter who lost the confidence in herself after a break up and we sat listening to her. All women are warriors xx

[@sparklingdaisy3169]

You're a good father.

[@marianamartinezjimenez7145]

I used to not be able to sing it without bawling my eyes out because it just describes I felt for 20 years of my life

[@sufinahisham4816]

Oh God. Each piece of this song relates to all women on earth.

[@Наташапоёт-и3и]

These are some beautiful words All women are warriors

[@andym9571]

Men go through this too !

[@DANNYKAMSTEEG]

How can a single person be SO talented? It blows my mind.

[@lauw428]

Jesus Christ I thought this was impressive already and then she started belting for like 20 straight seconds wth this is phenomenal

[@diarionagringauk]

It's absurd her tone, control, she literally plays with the song, so round all the edges amazing just can't put in words

[@leah_bouzgarrou]

her mixing is absolutely beautiful and her run on ‘lonely’ is crystal clear🥺 how i’m only just hearing this now is beyond me but this is the fifth time i’m listening to this today! i honestly can’t get enough of how pure her voice is!

[@david950]

I just came back to hear it again today. I was lucky enough to hear this live on the West End in 2019. I’ll never forget it.

[@lindsayaslan7758]

I went to see Waitress in Sheffield today and to hear Lucie sing this live was incredible- a moment I won’t ever forget.

[@katieholmes1218]

Me too!

[@Dirtyfouts]

This needs wayyyyy more views. This is absolutely incredible. Her control and power on the belting “she used to be mine” parts towards the end are perfect. And the part in the bridge where she growls “FIGHT” is so goooood

[@Pookie0504kb]

Musically I've always preferred Sara's orginal.... on stage Lucie is the one I personally liked best so far because she didn't overdo it and got the message perfectly and emotionally across... excellent!

[@zerefkurogane]

Wow, wow, wow, just wow. The way she breathes, the way she fought back the tears and still delivered some perfect vocals, the way she felt what she sang. I honestly just came here 'cause I love Sara and the song but I never expected to scream to the screen of my laptop at 3 AM "ARE YOU FOR REAAAALLL?" Please make her more famous than she already is. Absolutely killer performance. Kudos to you, girl!

[@juliefitzgerald2948]

Cant imagine how emotionally charged her performance would have been at poor Caroline's funeral... the words are very poignant & fitting for the wonderful person that she was😢

[@kaybee071]

I can not believe this is Lucie Jones. I’m so glad she got to continue with her singing she was amazing on X Factor at such a young age and now. She has just proven she’s gone from strength to strength. Absolutely mesmerising!

[@huwwilliams3230]

She was 18 years old on x Factor Now she is a really superb performer.

[@MsDari]

I just realized this myself. She's amazing!

[@Karl94inlove]

Can we please stop comparing all the Jennas and whatever roles? Each and everyone brings something special to the role and they're all doing their best.

[@hayleyhjw]

Karolin Marlies comparing is a huge part of this industry 🤷‍♀️ kinda inevitable

[@Karl94inlove]

@@hayleyhjw Yeah, you're right but that doesn't mean that I can't be mad about it and like all of them.

[@isaiahbaumgardner1802]

Alison luff is the best

[@carolynnlente4138]

I personally like Jessie Mueller

[@AdAsh650]

And we certainly can't compare from You tube. I saw Lucie Jones live in the role and she was incredible...great voice and really good actress...... but if I had seen someone else in the role first, I suspect that she would have become 'my Jenna'. This musical leaves a mark on you....brilliantly written, great music.....just add great singers who can act brilliantly and you have......the perfect pie!

[@Toastchee1035]

This was truly an incredible performance in that she felt so incredibly comfortable to really take her time with this song and let her moments be moments and not run through it but really feel it that you simply can't evoke through professional recordings.

[@cheytaylor1928]

Right???

[@stevenbell3346]

Bet Jedward couldn’t do that Simon

You know the original Jenna is the one who wrote the song and the musical?

[@JoeCarswell]

@@kingkmtso5107ate to break it to you but Sara Bareilles wasn’t the original Jenna in Broadway. She wrote it, but didn’t star until later on.

[@TVampire]

The way she chose to sing “start over” more softly is so beautiful 2:18

[@myselfhi716]

“Re write and ending or two” and “fight just a little” get me every time

[@blackclavish]

How so?

[@garyhawkins-pianoteacherpi6490]

So glad the official version of this is here now. Seen a few audience recorded versions but nothing better than the real deal. Unbeatable talent :)

[@matttyrermusic8101]

Flawless. Just... flawless. Technique, emotion, light and shade, character. She delivers it all. Perfection.

[@sparklingdaisy3169]

This is the millionth time that I've listened to this song and this is the first time that I've cried listening to this song.

[@Darlingdigits]

I’ve just watched her sing this at The Royal Albert Hall tonight. She by a country mile received the biggest applause of the night. Mesmerising performance 👏👏👏

[@shimmersandsilver]

3:59 see the leg twitch, her voice breaks and she lifts her hand to push away the biggest feelings until she can finish the song well. Oh, it’s so hard to sing with emotion but not let it choke your sound! She did this SO well.

[@DavidYatesUK]

After months of watching the Shoshana and the Jeremy Jordan versions, I got to see Lucie perform this on London during the summer. I sobbed my eyes out 😂 She’s such a good singer!

[@cornwall9]

I watched Waitress last night at The Opera House in Manchester. Lucie Jones is a fantastic performer as were the whole production. Matt Willis deserves a mention aswell. Lucie has that magic that all stars have.

[@lucasgonzalez6346]

Just saw her two days ago and before now I was certain she was American. She was truly brilliant! She threw in so many riffs.

[@yazmincastrejon8158]

This is my fav performance of she used to be mine, Lucie is magic, The look in their eyes evoques a lot of feelings. I can't describe in words what she provokes in me when I hear her in "For a chance to start over and rewrite an ending or two", "Who'll be reckless, just enough", "To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in her eyes" and "That's been gone, but used to be mine". Anyway the whole song is perfect .. Greetings from her fans from Mexico
