Larry you’re so infatuated with Lucy!!😂❤ I love it!!! I come here just see your excitement and your face blushing ❤

Larry, I'm 78 years old & have heard all the great voices of my lifetime, but this girl is absolutely my favorite...such power, articulation on both high & low notes, and feeling all combine in a stunningly beautiful young woman. I have never seen anyone who has impressed me the way this young English girl has.

Yes articulate power - not usually a combination seen commonly. Agree 💯 😊

Crystal clear, head voice and chest voice to perfection. Many phenomenal singers out there because they hit notes and keep a beat, but this young women is superior in her articulation and interpretation. She has a long career ahead of her.

Larry, just when you think Lucy cannot get any better, she drops another video! Yesterday, “One Moment In Time “ was released. In 24 hours she has amassed 100K views. Why you may ask? Because in my opinion, Lucy is even better!!! How can a 20 year old girl who is 5 1/2 feet tall have the lung capacity and breath support of a Pavarotti? How can she consistently get better every song? When she peaks, many years from now, it will be simply glorious!!! She is already surpassing the greats!!!

❤nobody can beat Lucy. She is the best. Amazing, incredible and so Gorgeous. God bless!

Larry, she is about as awesome as you can get. I love hearing her sing. I have cracked up laughing at you! You are great. Thank you. 😂 11:16

This is an incredible performance by Lucy! The richness of her lower register along with the strength of her voice. This is one of her best performances.

I listen to her everyday, she’s just melts me away.

Picture perfect live performance 'Style' going back to the 1950's when song was written and to 1960's when The Righteous Brothers recorded it, hit top of charts, and sold millions of records... Very accurate recreation of time period... dress... hair... microphone... delivery style... wise choice of dress color... it really brings out her beautiful blue eyes... Powerful Vocal Dynamics... range... tone... smoothness... accuracy... placement... breath control... perfect pitch... and Vocals match the Time Period perfectly... Also Amazing Physical Delivery... style...eyes... mouth... hands... expressions... she looks like she just stepped out of the 1950's... We adore Lucy’s clean image she portrays on and off screen...

It's not auto-tuned it is pitch corrected there's a subtle difference, it doesn't diminish or undermine Lucy's amazing voice in any way to suggest pitch correction might have been turned on during post-production because literally every singer in the world goes through that process nowadays regardless of their reputation which is why I always judge artists by the quality of their vocals live in concert and Lucy has already illustrated she's the best in the business and actually sounds all the more amazing live without all the studio razzmatazz.

There have been and are many amazing singers. Lucy Thomas is the best I have ever heard. Bobby Hatfield's version of Unchained Melody is the standard. Lucy's version rivals Hatfield's. Every song she releases is done masterfully with an amazing tone, clarity, range, and control. On top of that, she is a beautiful young woman.

Lucy has proven over and over that it doesn't matter what she sings....it's going to be among the best, or THE best renditions of the song ever heard. She could make the dictionary sound elegant and powerful.

What a pleasure it is to watch this talented young women develop into SUPER stardom. Lucy has set the bar high & just keeps raising it. Wow

Lucy Thomas does 'NOT' use auto tune!,some of her recordings have been pitch corrected,though that is nothing to do with her,it is in the production which seems to happen throughout the music industry nowadays!,you only have to go to Lucy's live performances to see what an outstanding vocalist she is & in my opinion the finest on the planet,I have listened to A J's version which in itself is as very fine version,but to me Lucy has the edge over everyone,it's not just the voice,it's her presence & the sprinkling of stardust she possesses,she is a gift to us all!😊💖

Lucy is truly amazing. Listening to her perform just fills your soul with absolute beauty ❤

Lucy Thomas is an Artist of all time and a versatile one, she has an incredible talent not only for singing but also for arranging songs, which proves that she can not only read sheet music but also write it, she can also talk to the producer, so it suits her, Lucy is also responsible for production the songs that he will perform and the charm that smuggles warmth, drama, smile and look at the listener into the songs because he knows that there is someone on the other side and that he is listening to her against the background of the silver screen

To find out if. Lucy is using "Auto Tune" . You need to fully analyse the register using a wave oscilloscope. On the scope you should see 2x wave forms. The top wave will be the singer's voice, and directly alongside that, you will find the synthesised vocal (which is more of a square wave the an analouge wave. complementing the singers pitch and strength. In this case "Lucy" hasn't used anything to even suggest anything out of the ordinary. What you see from "Lucy" is the whole package. Though many singers do have this help at first in the early runs. Then, when they can master the rifts, forsetto's and trills, they like to refrain from anything being false... LUCY THOMAS is the power-house we have all been waiting for. Essex UK

On voice kids Wil i am said Lucy you are perfection your voice is the real deal. Lucy´s voice is dam near pitch perfect also pitch correction can not affect vibrato and you only get vibrato when your voice is in that perfect balance. and Lucy is famous for her Vibrato. You have Steve from SJR media on here he has made videos of Lucy and analysed her voice. Also at the Manchester concert there was a questions and answers section and I am told that Lucy and her manager were asked if she uses pitch correction she said she never has and never would.

The fact that she is so high on the all-time charts is a credit only to herself, because she works hard for it, and to us, the listeners, because we support and score her work, so I think she should get an award from the Grama Music Industry and even a Crown from the Listeners for how beautiful it is. she performs every all-time song that she performed so beautifully.

Ask Stefan Galante if they use auto tune. He is the one who is the mix & master engineer & he is from Montreal, Quebec. Chris Broom does not select just anybody but a true expert.

She's done it again with the Lucy magic. What a brilliant rendition of this song. You better be good to take on this classic -- well nothing to worry about there then. Enthusiastic reaction as usual Chris and well deserved. This subject of Pitch Correction and Autotune keeps cropping up with these doubters, only because they don't think it's possible to be this good. Autotune is used in post production where ANY NOTE that doesn't hit the 440hz standard pitch ,( used to tune all instruments, ) wiil be squeezed to the pitch. Push a button and the whole piece is altered. The producers sit back and let the damn machine do the work. It's been used live but it has been known to go wrong, just ask Michael Bubly. If you've. got a good ear you can hear Autotune as it can sound robotic. Pitch correction however is a manual process, that corrects individual notes only, at post production. Unfortunately Autotune has become an industry standard tool, and a lazy way to save time and money. Chris Broom knows better!!!

Fil from Wings Of Pegasus wasn't trying to undermine her talent and acknowledged the fact she's better live where her voice is more raw and less processed, as for that absolute troll and complete idiot Dishonest Composer he isn't even worth the time of day!

It's a pointless exercise attempting to pitch correct vibrato, since it consists of a varient of the note -- a vibrating frequency, above and below the actual pitch.

Lucy is beyond belief. I agree with you Larry, that she is the best vocalist alive today. Like you I have always been a big fan of Karen Carpenter. A couple of years ago I saw (can't remember where) an electronic analysis of Karen using similar software used by "The Dishonest Composer" (what an appropriate name). But it was done to highlight Karen's gift, not to attack her. She routinely nails notes and holds them. "The Dishonest Composer" would have to swear that she used autotune (which of course did not exist when those recordings were made). This guy's only criteria for spotting "autotune" is the singer nailing a note transition and holding it, which is precisely what Lucy does, even in the older recordings made in her home studio. I wish someone would lay this to rest. Ironically he says that Angelina Jordon isn't autotuned on the same song because she does not nail the notes as well. The reason this upsets me is that (1) I love Lucy and (2) this guy clearly does not have the technical expertise needed to draw the conclusions which he draws. His simple rules are not capable of distinguishing autotune from perfect pitch. "The Dishonest Composer" even claims that the Manchester concert was autotuned. There are many problems with this. I don't think Lucy would have permitted that. In any case Lucy's first song did have a couple of small issues (she was understandably nervous!) - the very thing autotune would have corrected. Some people just get off on trying to make a name for themselves by bringing others down to their level. My opinion of course. OK I feel better now getting this off my chest.

Beyond that she just seems to be a decent human being, the kind of person you would want as a friend. There are some very talented singers out there who just seem to be full of themselves.

I'm no studio sound technician, but it's my understanding that auto-tune doesn't work well, if at all, with vibrato, and Lucy's vibrato is one of her calling calls. It's ridiculous to even speculate on, but detractors will detract. If the studio does any polishing and cleaning up of a soundtrack before releasing it, well, I suppose that's their business... literally.

Great reaction Larry. Lucy Thomas is phenomenal each performance is perfection and her live performances are as spectacular as her studio versions. Loveliest voice in music today. The brightest star in the industry.

Larry, I very much appreciate and enjoy your generous and heartfelt reactions, but I have a few issues with this one. Because auto tuning and pitch correction are so widespread in the recording industry, and since you have no idea how much correction if any was added in post, your comments were not helpful and only served to cloud a brilliant performance. Lucy’s very slow tempi and the rippling piano accompaniment in the early parts of the song were obviously intended to evoke the lonely heart’s yearning to rush to the sea. I fail to understand why you brought Angelina Jordan into this reaction, since their vocal mechanisms and styles are so different. Both are wonderful artists who shine on their own without the need for the other’s reflection. Finally, to conclude my rant, I feel that Lucy did not run out of breath at the end but, rather, that Lucy and her team decided that a 1950’s style orchestral coda was a great way to garnish this aural and visual confection.

Yes, Lucy performed this as a tribute to the 1965 Bobby Hatfield live cover on the Andy Williams TV show, but she has made it her own by slowing it down and adding her own embellishments (Lucyisms). Only someone as supremely skilled as Lucy, with her breath control, range, vibrato, and tone, would have been able to achieve this level of perfection - and there is only one Lucy Thomas! 😊

Great reaction! Lucy got me with her very first note and never let go! This is my favorite song and this is the best performance that I have ever heard! This was Lucy's very best yet! Lucy has the most beautiful voice in the history of singing! You've been great about playing and reacting to Lucy's recent videos as they drop. Please do not hesitate to play and react to some of Lucy's earlier performances. Lucy's younger performances often get overlooked, even by the greatest reactors like you.

I think people who ar having doubts about Lucy's vocal quality should only watch a few of the videos from her live concert in Manchester (UK) which are released on her own channel. She simply is that gifted. And you mentioned Angelina Jordan's version of this song. I have watched Angelina's newest version she performed live in Oslo last December and Lucy's version after each other to hear the differences. And it is so much fun to do that, because both have made this song their own and yet so different, with very much respect for the orginal song. And that respect they both are showing with every cover they take on. I find it so special: although Lucy is a bit older than Angelina is they both are beginning their career as a professional artist. Angelina had her first big concerts on 29 February and Lucy on 7 March and they are both releasing more songs on KZread now. Wonderful things are going on....

Hey Chris, When I heard this on her channel, when it was first released, I said it was her best performance yet. Each time since then, I have to say even more accolades.

Larry, 2 online sources, "Wings of Pegasus" and "DisHonest Composer Reacts" ("Wings" seems far more professionally technical) have shown with graphs not full auto-tuning for Lucy, but touches of pitch correction here and there - both in older songs, "Run" (Lucy, 15) and "Hallelujah" (Lucy 16). "Wings" goes into specific technical explanations, the other seems to have no equipment of his own. Lucy and her manager, this year, told meet-and-greeters at the Manchester concert that she doesn't use pitch correction now, and the live concert videos would seem to bear that out. Since about 2000, 90+% of singers use pitch correction. It is standard. "Wings" said she doesn't need it.

I hope people won't mind if I philosophize a little. I have been trying to put into words why I love Lucy's singing so much, but have difficulty appreciating Angelina Jordan. Both are talented and both have devoted fans. I am not going to change any allegiances. Don't want to. Just trying to understand. The things that Larry calls "gymnastics" are just tools that all really great vocalists have to master to be great. The runs, vibrato, tempo changes, breath control, facial expressions, and so on are tools of the trade. Larry calls them gymnastics, I think, because she has mastered them and has the incredible and rare ability to know instinctively how to combine them all into an interpretive masterwork. Everything that Lucy does is done to serve the music, to draw attention to the message, not to draw attention to Lucy. I never noticed all the intricacies of her singing until they were pointed out to me. I just knew that she drew me into the music in a way that I have never experienced before. If Lucy continues to develop, she will be remembered for generations. Is that true of any of the usual modern divas? I doubt it. Maybe Karen Carpenter, though she wasn't a diva. Maybe Barbara Streisand. Who else? Angelina Jordan? In my opinion, she is a long way from mastering the basic tools. She has her own gymnastics, and people love them, but in my opinion they exist to draw attention to the singer, not the song. Lucy's "gymnastics" are an integral part of her interpretive goals. That is why they are hardly noticed by amateur interpreters like me. Angelina's gymnastics are front and center and immediately draw attention to the vocal tricks, and away from the music. That is my opinion anyway. The first thing that I noticed the first time I heard Lucy was the beauty of her voice and how she enabled me to see the music in a whole new way. I learned to love some genres that I never would otherwise have cared a bit about. The first thing that I noticed when I heard Angelina sing was the verbal oddities and tricks, not the music. All great artists have to master the basics before finding their own style. Lucy has done that. I hope that as Angelina matures she will as well. But in my opinion she is not there yet. I hope I haven't stirred up a hornets nest.

@@tomwhite4736 Lip synching is impossible to do perfectly, especially with all the "gymnastics". There is no evidence at all of it in this video. Claims that Lucy is using lip synching, autotune and pitch correction, are all gratuitous, without justification or proof. The question of whether or not Lucy is capable of producing a video like this without them can be settled by simply looking at the entire body of her work going back 6 years. The early home studio songs are clearly unembellished and just as amazing as the new stuff. The only question in my mind is why some people would want to go to the trouble to argue that these gimmicks were even necessary. I am not a psychiatrist so I can't say. The bottom line in my view is that there are some people who have trouble believing that Lucy as good as she clearly is. One more thing: the Manchester concert could not have been lip-synched, unless they did re-recordings of all 17 songs. And why in the world would autotune be used in such a venue, if it were even possible. There were rare imperfections that would not have made it through the autotune process and people on the front row would have heard the pristine voice. Enough already.

Larry, it’s pitch correction not autotune. Autotune is crude and often obvious and CAN BE DONE LIVE. Pitch correction is post only. You can hear pitch correction sometimes but you need software to see it. To me this sounds clean. Tori Holub doesn’t use pitch correction or autotune at all ever. I don’t think Lucy does but only pitch monitoring software with the instruments stripped out will tell. My ears say Lucy is clean. She has more to lose than gain by using it. Well, technically it’s her producers, unless she’s like Tori and can use software. I saw Fil prove Carrie Underwood was pitch corrected on a Christmas song, broke my heart as she can sing her ass off. On a side note. I recorded Tori at the 55th Anniversary, live, my iPhone. I stripped the piano and ran her vocal. She slammed on notes like nobodies business. Almost flat lining many. Someone would say pitch corrected. EXCEPT I recorded it in a church! No autotune at a Carpenters event. She is pitch perfect like crazy! You need to do more Tori, ya know? She gave you a TIA, she deserves another chance to knock you over. BTW, Tori has a short of Unchained Melody. Not bad at all. I got a couple that will blow your mind, I think anyway. And neither is a Carpenters song. So no comparison to Kacie. How to do this? Joe

I have spent years both in front of a mic and behind one in production. I have analyzed many of Lucy's songs, using isolation software to strip away vocals, backing vocals, piano, string, wind, guitar, drums, and keys. Instruments properly tuned stay in key and won't deviate from normal pitch. Human voice is a bit different. I checked out Fil and he is the real deal. He knows what 440 Hz is and what human voice isn't. I can pull out individual instruments, all tuned to 440 Hz, and they stay in tune long enough to finish song without going out of tune. People can be close, but natural variations adds warmth and a sense of humanity. Not sure if post production is tweaking her voice, she doesn't need much. I have 3 different programs, each use different methods of isolating voice. Without instruments masking voice, can detect partial flat, but rarely.
