That was special ! She owned that audition. She's an angel. Beautiful voice. ❤❤❤

[@jonnyharding3646]

I met Lucie a few years after she was on X Factor. She had just finished a performance of Les Mis on the West End, and she was absolutely lovely. Spent 45 minutes talking to fans and taking pictures.

[@natashaalicia8105]

That was insane! This young lady is going to go far! I had to watch this like a million times to believe I was actually seeing and hearing this! It's absolutely unbelievable how talented and humble she is. She was petrified but she did it! 100% nail on the head! ❤

[@thewezz0809]

This show was 15 years ago, have a Google where she is now

[@bethedmonds9635]

Luci, that was soo beautiful ❤

[@lindalape8493]

Just beautiful!!! Lucie is a star!!

[@lalani888blue]

An absolute sweetheart... Beautiful voice indeed 💜💌

[@rosiegrove5021]

Dolly's comment about Whitney's version was an example of Dolly's humility, and her graciousness towards another singer. Yes, Whitney DID yell it, whereas Lucie sang it more like Dolly does : with the amazing pathos in her voice that gives it that 'heartbroken' quality. To me, the Whitney version conveys a sense of self - pity or bitterness, while Dolly's and Lucie's are an expression of genuine enduring love.

[@ainaaipa849]

Lucie.. nailed it! 🥰

[@rafaelramirez5554]

She surprised everyone including Simon. What a voice❤

[@kma3647]

I love how she doesn't try and overdo it. She doesn't try and out-Whitney Whitney Houston. This is much more like the original Dolly Parton version of the song and it perfectly captures the feeling.

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Hello, I'm sure Dolly Parton would be proud of her. Lucie Jones did her best.

[@sistersister8830]

It's like she had the best of when Whitney sang it and the best of when Dolly sand it that made each version so special and blended them both and wow amazing.

[@user-gh4gw8nx7y]

She born to sign,she amazing❤🤗

[@tonygomez4085]

I have no doubt about paying to see this young lady in concert. She's absolutely amazing.👏👏

It's a Song written and recorded by Dolly Parton

[@einsteinwasright1044]

Whitney Houston covered "I Will Always Love You" in 1992 for the movie "The Bodyguard", but Dolly Parton wrote and originally recorded this song in 1973.

[@joseaglaisdeoliveirafilhoa793]

She is lovely, has talent and sings a lot, with great promise. Ela é uma simpatia, tem talento e canta muito, uma grande promessa.

Beautiful performance. ❤

[@alisongiles-damjanovska2749]

Yes, let's remember it's a Dolly Parton song, not a Witney song!

[@earndoggy]

Exactly!

[@dillwidit]

regardless, she killed it

[@KJVAV1611]

Dolly wrote it, because she was leaving the Porter Wagner show. However, Whitney made better.

[@judsdragon]

maybe so but Whitney made it hers and its her version that so many try to imitate

[@fatumaahmed4304]

Whitney executed better even Dolly knows

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

Awesome video!

[@dickie8918]

Bliss ❤️🔥🔥

[@gregmonks]

Yeah . . . Whitney . . . it's actually a Dolly Parton song, Simon.

[@avisdaniels6194]

Whitney made it popular in the film "The Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner in 1992, which is why everyone thinks it's "her" song. Yes, Dolly released it originally in 1974, but it didn't quite have the same success for Dolly as it did for Whitney, hence the previous statement. Just saying...

[@jayneliberty3429]

​@@avisdaniels6194Dolly sang it at the end of her television show every week. I think you are sadly mistaken when you say that she didn't have the same success as Whitney. She sang it 100 times better than Whitney with zero effort.

[@WitchelliB]

@@avisdaniels6194and DOLLY WROTE IT

[@zacgonzales5883]

Yes, Dolly wrote it, but it will always be Whitney's song. Even Dolly would say much the same.

[@jaydee5156]

​@@avisdaniels6194Dolly also sang it to Burt Reynolds in the 1982 movie, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. A very emotional scene.

[@user-qu6dv6qu8d]

One of my favorite songs ever..

[@anthonymartinez4148]

Beautiful song and voice

She is right up there with Whitney!

You are comparing a child to someone who od'd in the bathtub.

Wow! Tears for Lucie for that performance and for Whitney thinking about what should have been. Lucie really does not know how amazing is. So happy for her parents and family too.

She's awesome.

She was awesome

[@christinemendoza6703]

She has a beautiful voice.

[@avisdaniels6194]

Tonal quality is quite impressive! Her notes were spot on from what I heard! The timing was different, but she sang it her way, which is what she's supposed to do, and she did it well!

[@michaelhucker2417]

Not only was it written by Dolly Parton, but it was written as a farewell song for her then singing partner and her mentor Porter Wagoner. If yall need or want to know more about this song, then as I'm often told to do Google it. Nuff Said.

This gives me such a Dolly Parton's original version feel with a hint of Whitney's.

[@anybodyhandle]

Old story but she is unique ❤

[@user-iu6tn7rl6e]

If Simon likes you... you have it..!!!!!

[@olenfersoi8887]

Really: I know a lot of people think Simon is kind of a jerk. But, he is an incredible judge of talent, when he says the performer is not singing up to par, or has picked the wrong song for themselves... he's always right. And, unlike some judges on these shows, you can tell that every cell in his body is listening to the performer, especially when they are surprisingly good. Amanda is the same way. And, when his often stern demeanor sees true talent, especially if the performer is genuine & has a measure of humility...he'll crack that wide, genuine smile, and you know "you've made it".

[@JoyfulSaturn-cz2ui]

Pretty as can be.

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Hello, hoping one day Lucie Jones will be able to sing a duet with Dolly Parton.

[@anthonymartinez4148]

Yes, she is sure

[@msblue1003]

She was in Midsummer.

[@faustman1000]

Just needs training to make it perfect! So MUCH is there!!!!!!! She didn't change the key, just the tempo down a notch.

[@melvinhunt6976]

I like Dolly’s version!

[@thewezz0809]

This was 15 years ago....

[@oldprankster7606]

This was closer to how Dolly Parton, who wrote the song, probably envisioned singing it. Intensely personal, without the vocal histrionics, which frankly, I found irritating in Whitney Houston's version (Although Houston was a vocalist without peer). There are many ways to interpret a song, and this was beautiful.

[@Magaeatsboogers]

Sheryl has to be one of the most beautiful women ever.

[@1gftgvr]

Wondering where Lucie is now

[@marymann7889]

OK, let's get this right.That is dolly parton song not whitney

Not pitch perfect but damn close good job

[@11calman]

Nah, don't think so Has not quite got it, it's obvious most of you don't listen to good singers. Yes great in a pub m but other than that. "NAH"

[@orlandosoto6080]

I agree it was ok for a party but she isn’t that special, nice young lady though 😊

[@11calman]

@@orlandosoto6080 Yes mate I agree with that.

[@blodwen6946]

I am into classical singers but I thought for this type of show she did well and in fact better than most contestants 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Why would Simon make a remark like that before she has even begun to sing!

[@saijinkai]

Because it’s a fuqing hard song. Most can’t even pull it off

Smh Dolly Parton.

Possibly no one would even know this song exists without Whitney. The composer is still, obviously the most important. But it is both their song.

[@patdavis9804]

You would be very wrong.

[@chuckhuard9853]

I’m sure Dolly put those royalties to good use.
