Lucy’s incredible physical beauty enhances her incredible singing voice. What a pleasing combination for all of us.
seems unfair that someone who is so stunningly beautiful also has a voice that matches that beauty, love her.
Hi Guys. Love your appreciation for Lucy. She is so good that she only competes with herself.
Lucy Thomas. So young, but with a voice to die for. Fabulous, Simple as that.
I`m in heaven! ❤❤❤
The highs the lows the mids the slows,this young lady has it all!,even turns songs that are far from my favourites into something special,Lucy is truly gifted,looking forward to seeing her in the 'West End' in 2024!.💖🥰
Lucy has perform this song perfectly amazing beautiful, she is the best female vocalist in her own world today.
Absolutely stunning , love this version by Lucy Thomas.
It's like a symphony within each note...just sublime,and a great performance not hindered by stunning good looks.
Great reaction...Lucy is simply in a class of her own. So wonderful to listen to her sing. Such an amazing pure and beautiful voice.
Lucy is the first singer Diva of the 21th century.
A successor to those who gone in the last century.
Angelina Jordan too
Lucky will be the biggest superstar of the future very awesome 🤩
She's the one and only, Luz de Lucy !
Lucy kills it! Warm ,serene, mesmerizing!
Ginger , you’re looking especially pretty today!
Thanks for another great reaction to Lucy Thomas, Mike and Ginger. This another stunning performance by Lucy who can now justifiably be classed as the best vocalist of this era.
Hi ya Mike & Ginger - Ginger, I always love watching your reactions to a Lucy video. Thank you both for your support for this incredible young lady! Stay safe and healthy.
Hi Mike and Ginger glad to see you supporting Lucy yet again. It amazes me Lucy is able to sustain her commitment to improvement and it is kind of wonderful that anyone can go back and listen to how Lucy has developed over a period of over a decade. Lucy's ability to project her warm personality into her songs along with her flawless technique makes her the best artist in the world today. 🙂
Great reaction as always...Lucy makes every song her own...she is simply amazing ❤
Lucy is beautiful and has a beautiful angelic voice! I think her sister Martha will follow in her foot steps!
You guys ! So so cool ...thank you for the music ...
I’m not sure what Lucy’s first word was, but I’m guessing it ended in perfectly sustained vibrato😊
Lol
Dada A a A a A a A a A a
H😂😂a ha.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂.....
Oh my gosh.. that is absolutely freaking hilarious..
(In the most respectful way to Lucy of course)...
She's so damn perfect in every way that we have to find something to poke fun at...
I love everything that Lucy does, and I plan to be one of the first in line to see the musical "Rosie" when it finally launches next year.
We'll have to arm wrestle for that spot, Chris... 😂😂
Er, George... 😅
❤ Happy new year❤Lucy & Mik and Ginger & all
I saw her on stage in FUNNY GIRL. She was mind-blowing.
Miss Thomas has perfect phrasing and her onset to each line in the lyrics is beyond comparison with any other singer besides Karen Carpenter !!
Please do not compare Lucy with anyone, she is brilliant in her own right, time moves on so now this is Lucy’s turn. 🥰
I agree, its an insult to compare Lucy with anyone else. When Lucy sings its from the heart and everyone else must stand still. Comparing Lucy to any one is like comparing, an apple to a spit. It's an insult. Love Lucy.😍
Both of you seem to have a wonderful happy relationship. Lots of joking and laughing.
My sentiments exactly! I am a HUGE Frank Sinatra fan, and I have said the same thing over the years since he passed in 1998... He could come back from the dead and go on tour, and I would not pay more than $200 or $300 to see him. I wouldn't pay ridiculous money to see ANYBODY. And thank you for this gem by this gorgeous and talented young woman... I grew up listening to Barbra Streisand in the late 70's and early 80's, and this rendition of Evergreen is just majestic!
…..Damn!
Lucy has a beautiful voice. I would guess she sang this because she liked the song--not in an attempt to generate comparisons. On that note, Babs won an Oscar for composing this music (the first woman to win an Oscar for composing) and won Best Female Pop Vocal and Song of the Year at the Grammys. So I give Barbra her due, and believe Lucy will earn hers.
I don't understand comparing any artists to determine who's better. Art is subjective. It's as pointless as comparing a Rembrandt to a Monet (unless it's an exercise in contrasting styles). I hope Lucy is around for a long time and achieves the same level of career success Streisand has had.
Great reaction as always to Lucy A beautiful cover by Lucy makes it her own again As she does everything she sings ,Best female vocalist in the world today by a mile. Thanks for your support of Lucy.🤩🤩
❤
Barbra Streisand is an amazing singer, but Lucy Thomas's voice is more pleasing to the ear. I have never heard anyone better.
Beautiful ❤
13 days ago? Oh I'm slow to get to this.
You must react to the Thomas sisters singing Mary did you know. Please. It is wonderful. They are getting better and better. J. R.
Perfection 100Xs.
I like both of your reactions and comments very much and I also agree with it.
Wow! The best voice since karen carpenter!
Good day to you, beautiful couple, "Move over Streisand", "Lucy Thomas takes on the Queen...." Singer/composer Ms. Barbra Streisand's original version, with lyrics by Mr. Paul Williams, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 49th Academy Awards, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original song at the 34th Golden Globe Awards, won two Grammys at the 20th Annual Grammy Awards, Best Pop Vocal Performance and Female and Song of the Year tying with "You Light up My Life". In 1977, it was the fourth biggest single of the year, certified platinum by Billboard with two million copies sold and stayed three weeks at the top of Billboard Hot 100.
Barbra is incomparable!
All those accolades are just a popularity vote. I have seen some crappy movies get Oscars. I have seen some pretty lousy music get Grammys. Barbra was a fantastic singer but Lucy is better. Lucy is only nineteen and has not yet gotten world wide attention. When that happens and it will, she will rise to the very top. In my youth, I was a huge Barbra Streisand fan. However, the quality of Lucy's voice is slightly better than Barbra's voice.
You’re loving a computer-enhanced studio cover singer! Streisand had no peers!!
Lucy is singing it JUST like Barbra. Didn’t make it her own like Eva Cassidy did with over the rainbow. Lucy has a beautiful voice but she’s simply copying Barbra. Even the breaths and accents she does. Lucy simply DOES NOT compare to Barbra. You need to hear Barbra in her prime. No comparison. Barbra is the GOAT.
@@doloreschokas3844 Amen!
It's Barbras.
I would never compare Lucy to Barbra or vice versa. Barbra has won a couple oscars and many Grammies. Countless Emmy’s to boot. If I were rich, I would have paid to see Barbra. Lucy will be worthy someday to achieve that kind of demand.👍🌹❤️
I have no problem comparing the two! As good as Barbra is, Lucy is better. That's my story and I am sticking to it! 😁
@@kennethsorrels8850 lol stick to your guns. I tend to agree with you. However, in the industry, accomplishments are everything… unfortunately.👍
@@nickey66 You have your opinion. Fortunately, I don't share it. Barbra is great but Lucy is better!
@@nickey66 By the looks of you the grim reaper will have the last say and you will never know if your opinion held water.
Lucy is far better !!.
I'm curious - how much would Ginger pay for a front row seat if Paolo was performing?
Just Love Lucy's version better!
No one tops Barbra!
That's your opinion!
The highs the p
lows th😂
Gentlemen, that nonsense that is written on the cover of your video made even my shoe cabinet laugh.
"MOVE OVER STREISAND!"?
Streisand is now part of Lucy, refining and owning "Evergreen". Yes? ❤🎉
The " hype " was she was not stunningly attractive but she was stunningly sexy. Put that in the mix with a beautiful voice and.....voila
She does have a beautiful voice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For a bit of fun you should do Michael Bolton and The Lonely Island doing Jack Sparrow 😂😂 Buckle up for thst one 😂😂😂
Barbara was great, but Lucy is the peak, much richer voice and so much better control especially in the higher register. Perfection. Nice reaction.
Lol 😂. Barbra is the goat.
@@SS-do3zv certainly sounds like one compared to Lucy 🤣
TopGun, yes, we all know Barbra is a legend with an absolutely fantastic voice, no doubt! She has all types of awards and accolades, rightfully so, but Lucy's vocals are simply a step above! We all know that Lucy and her phenomenal song writer, Chris Broom, are co-producers of their upcoming COMPLETELY original musical, "Rosie", set to debut in late 2024, and there are currently 9 performances from Lucy with "Rosie" out now! This musical is a MASSIVE undertaking and everything is completely from scratch: the sets, the writing, the musical scores, the singers, the other actors, the costuming, etc.! When "Rosie" starts its tour, venues across the Globe will be selling out in MINUTES! People need to see this.......
@@briankrames1883 actually I agree sir, as the acronym used here was not capitalised I used it literally for my reply with intended humour. I dislike BSs nasal and slightly shrill higher register, but she is good - no doubt. I would not pay to see her, but Lucy I will be pushing to the front of the queue when tickets go on sale.
I went back and listened to Barbra's version she can't hold a candle to Lucy's magic!!! Hers is not just the voice of a generation but that of an entirely new music genre! Thank You Mike & Ginger for another great reaction!!
I love Lucy's singing, but... You have to listen to Barbra Streisand... She is the reason Lucy sang that song so beautifuly... Period!
I'm a Lucy fanatic but pure perfection dosen't always give a perfect performance, Barbra, like others, like Laura Branigan, let their voices break to convey feeling. Lucy is one of the best in the world but dont forget those that made the songs famous because they were one of a kind
Interesting observation...pure perfection doesn't always male a perfect performance.
If you don’t get babs, have you ever watched her singing with Barry Gibb?
Ok I’m half way through this. Now don’t get me wrong this Lucy girl can sing alright but this isn’t a patch on the original.
Whilst it’s sung very beautifully the whole performance is lacking in vibrancy, in short it’s flat and a bit dull.
@@supertuscans9512 If you think that Lucy's "whole performance is lacking in vibrancy, in short it’s flat and a bit dull", then with all due respects, I would suggest that you have your ears checked. I totally reject your assessment and respectfully agree to disagree!
I am more than familiar with the Streisand original. I’m sorry to have to say that this cover lacks the raw earthiness of the original.-
It’s a bit like a Des O’Conner cover of Frank Sinatra. Typically beautifully sung but ultimately hollow.
@@supertuscans9512 Again, I must respectfully disagree.
Which of course is your entitlement.
9:29 About Barbra Streisand - Barbra is considered the absolute best vocalist of all time. That’s hard to believe, without knowing more about her, but to understand why someone would say that is all about her vocal peers, many of which were good, a few were great. Barbra was where quality-wise so many were reaching for. Celine and Whitney were her peers. Charise, who Celine was helping gain popularity, was as good as Barbra. So is Lucy Thomas. Lucy is doing a class act job in her covers. She is for all intents and purposes, copying the styles of Barbra, Whitney and Celine, Charise was there. Charise was the teen who had the transgender surgery. He does not do her music, but has shown on occasion that he can. Can’t remember his name right now (I’m 73, so bear with me) Darcie Lynn is good. Sammy Davis Jr. doing “In the Shelter of Your Arms” was very good. Barry Manilow’s Ballads were great. His “Weekend in New England” was very good. Josh Groban is great. Look at all the singers David Foster has brought into his level of expertise. Want to talk more, say so and give me a phone number - Ted K
Hi Ginger and Mike. Im not a Streisand fan and Ginger your Grandmother was correct. Babs played way to deep into politics for her own good. Be as it may I am a Lucy fan. I have listen to Barbara’s version 3 times and I gotta say I like Lucy’s. She wins hands down. Thank you for supporting Lucy. Be safe and healthy.
There is nothing wrong with Streisand's politics. She's anti war, pro environment, pro civil rights. You just don't like her because she's been a vocal critic of Trump and Bush.
@@sansone12 She can believe any thing she wants. It just not a good look for your popularity when you piss 50% of the population off. I really don’t care what she believes, all I was saying is it would have been better off to stay silent.
@@sansone12 you forgot she whaled about Reagan too.
@@jimivison5837 Hasn't hurt her career one iota. She's true to herself first... always has been.
Lucy might be a Communist. Would that change her Talent in your eyes?. If so. go to Politics page and leave Art to those who appreciate it in it's pure form. I personally do not like your attitude. You are turning 50% or more people off. So follow your own rules and go away.
Thanks Mike, Ginger. If Lucy sang my least favourite song of all time (Yellow Submarine), I would still have to listen to it and come away with tears of joy in my eyes 😊
It’s lovely but Barbara Streisand is the queen!
Please hear the orginal. And you know the hype.
Nothing like the original... Lucy is great, no matter what...
Hi Mike and Ginger. I have a suggestion for a fabulous cover band for you to react to... Foxes and Fossils. Research them first so you can understand the groups dynamics and the relation ship of the artist. So, my suggested first looksie is there cover of "Sweet Judy Blue Eyes". This is their first song sung as "Foxes and Fossils" and one of the member came up with the name while they were setting up there equipment for that nights performance. As Lucy and Martha make each song there own so to does Foxes and Fossils make each song their own. They do not and will not disappoint.
Yes, another fan of 'Foxes and Fossils', absolutely fantastic group! Tim with excellent vocals, along with Darwin, lead guitar, and both Sammie and Maggie on harmony with perfect vocals, just unbelievable talent with this band! Like df said, their very first performance was live: "Suite Judy Blue Eyes", from CSN & Y, and they blew them away! Their live version was BETTER than CSN & Y's studio version! Yes, they will NOT disappoint! Just like Lucy, with her flawless vocals and world-class vibrato, the vocals, harmonies, and guitar work is absolutely on point, just amazing with F & F!
Lucy in her youth can almost match Barbra in the full glory of the apex of her career. Babs holds that last note a little longer but starts it a bit softer.
Lucy held that for 17 seconds. and ended in a perfect vibrato .Babs does not .Sorry but Lucy is way better Babs has a very nasal sounding voice lucy´s is pure and rich However each to their own.
Not even close to Barbra at her top. Have you heard her sing it in French Italian or Spanish?
You apparently never heard Barbra when she was in her late teens and early 20s, like Lucy is now. No one ever heard anything like her then or ever. And she didn't sing popular covers of other artists. She was an extraordinarily unique artist. Check out "Cry Me A River," "Lover Come Back To Me," or "Down With Love." Sorry, nobody but nobody sang like Streisand.
She's good but there is only one Streisand.
Thank God
Mike, since you have headphones on, it would be real cool if you wore them with the cable on your left side. This way something recorded on the left channel would actually be heard on the left channel instead of reversed. Not a problem if the audio is mono but for stereo recordings, it's nice to hear it on the side that it was intended to be on.
Our headphones have input plugs on both sides. They allow us to wear them properly, but have the cord on whatever side is convenient. - G
- question Mike: If you're listening to a stereo recording and its just a piano on the left channel and a guitar on the right channel, when you plug your cord into either side, does the piano STAY on the left side and the guitar on the right no matter which input you use, or does it switch the channels around to the opposite?
I don't usually notice this, but Ginger has nice hair in this.
Very nice she is just as good as Barbara and Lea Michelle
When I was a senior in high school, our all school musical was Funny Girl. I was in the choir and also had a bit part in the production. As a result, I knew all the songs from memory and became a huge Barbra Streisand fan. I listened to all her songs for many years. I am now in my early seventies. I was introduced to Lucy Thomas just a couple of months ago. I now have all 4 of her albums and have listened to every video on her RUclips channel. There is no doubt in my mind which version of Evergreen is the best and it isn't Barbra's. I have never heard a better female vocalist than Lucy Thomas. To me, Lucy's voice sounds sweeter, clearer, cleaner, more controlled and more pitch perfect than anyone else. If it is in her vocal range, Lucy can sing it better than anyone. That does not mean that Barbra is not one of the best female vocalists of all time, Lucy is just better. That's my story and I am sticking to it!
You're certainly entitled to your opinion. Music, like all art is subjective though. You hear Lucy better, I hear and feel Barbra better. Add to that that men and women hear differently, especially highs and lows, and you basically have a debate that'll go on forever. Again, I don't have an issue with anyone feeling Lucy, or anyone for that matter, is better than Barbra. That wasn't my point. But for my taste, I'm completely rapt when Barbra sings; no one interprets a lyric or nuances a song like she imo. Lucy, et al, don't do it for me. For instance, there are many who feel Karen Carpenter had one of the greatest voices; she bored me to tears. But like I said, music is subjective.
@@donnamentrasti2695 You are correct that music is subjective. There is no way that I could argue that what sounds best to your ear is incorrect for you. Musical taste can vary according to the individual. There are some singers that have excellent vocal technique but I don't like the sound of their voice. They're some singers that I like the sound of their voice even though they have poor vocal technique. The thing about Lucy is that I love the sound of her voice and I believe her to have excellent vocal technique. However, I do not begrudge you in your choice in musical performers.
@kennethsorrels8850 Appreciate your understanding. As the saying goes...'that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.' 😉👌
Have to agree Lucy is miles better She has a perfect voice. best vibrato ever. perfect pitch ,perfect control of her voice .Barbara is vey nasal just don´t like the sound of her voice.
@@colinhea Me thinks it's more like you don't like the sound of her politics. So be it.
did u have react cakra khan audition in AGT 2023 guys ?
Fabulous, but Barbra is unreplaceable.
She has already been replaced by Lucy who is a way better vocalist.
Singers don’t have to be replaced. There is room for as many as we’d like.
@@colinhea In your dreams. 🤣🤣🤣
Well, not 'move over Streisand,' how about just "Join the club Lucy!" Barbra's version is still the best because it's the original and every 'cover' is more or less a compliment to Barbra's.
Lucy is just as good as, (dare I say) Celine Dion.
I think Barbra is fine lol.
Ummm. Crazy ticket prices aside-Barbara is a true original.
You obviously know very little about Streisand's body of work, nor ever seen her perform live, or you wouldn't make such a ridiculous banner on your reaction's headline to "move over!" It takes a lot more than a beautiful voice to achieve the level of success and greatness that Streisand has, and tons of new artists have come down the pike the last 60 years and have failed to move Barbra from what many feel is the GOAT. She's the only recording artist in history to have an album debut at #1 in six consecutive decades, and only until last week when Taylor Swift took over the spot, she was the highest selling female artist only behind Elvis and The Beatles. And unlike Taylor, Barbra did it without RUclips, Amazon orders, and MP3 downloads...when people actually had to get in their car or take a bus to a music store to buy her album. So have a little respect for some of the shoulders these new artists are standing on. And also, Barbra didn't make her claim to fame singing popular covers on YT of other artists' songs... at 18 she started out singing in small clubs as an opening act, and singing songs that were not considered mainstream. Nothing was handed to her on a silver platter.
And for the record, Barbra's ticket prices averaged at around $350...what scalpers were able and allowed to do back in the day she had no control over, but people gladly paid it anyway, including myself who plunked down $2,500 of the greatest and most pleasurable money I ever spent... then proceeded to file for bankruptcy afterward, but I wasn't missing a once in a lifetime opportunity like that.
When Barbra returned to live concerts, it was after a 27-year hiatus... then she would only do about a dozen shows every 6 years or so.
Sorry to rant, but it just irks me when some are ready to canonize a new artist just because they have a beautiful voice. As I said, it takes so much more than that to reach the heart and soul of the listener over 60 years.
If you're so inclined to, take a watch and a listen to a young Streisand singing "Cry Me A River" in front of 125,000 people at her "A Happening In Central Park" concert in 1968. There's a magic some of the greats had, like Sinatra, that you rarely see anymore...don't discard them so flippantly!
Sounds like you're trying to justify your irresponsibility.
@user-nw3eq8rf8i Figured someone would miss the whole point. And frankly, I don't care what you think it sounds like... but you're wrong. The bankruptcy was going to happen whether I went or not! You only live once, and that was nearly 30 years ago. In the inimitable words of Edith Piaf, "non, je ne regrette rien."
Barbra Streisand is 81 years old. No one can ever take away her incredible list of accomplishments but her career isn’t going to last forever. We should be glad there are young artists emerging who can carry on where she leaves off.
@randysimon7363 I am very glad about that and have no problem with really good talent... there are lots of them out there today, but I'm just saying... don't dis the trailblazers either. Barbra may or may not have publicly sung her last song, but just a few years ago, she was still belting at a very high level and standing toe-to-toe and having no trouble keeping up with with 50-years-younger, also very talented, Ariana Grande, during a duet of "Enough Is Enough." Lucy should have a terrific career, but, fwiw, I do see her more as a Broadway star than pop artist.
@@donnamentrasti2695 As great as Barbra was, it is not impossible that someone may come along that is better. Recognizing that fact is not disrespecting Barbra. When Lucy's voice deteriorates with age, someone will come along that is better. I still believe that Lucy's voice now is slightly better than Barbra's voice was in her prime. And yes, I was a huge Barbra Streisand fan in my youth and I am very familiar with her body of work!
Lucy is great but she does not have the range nor the power that streisand once had. Streisand also had better tone and emotional delivery.
You act like she’s the only singer who can hold a note at the end or has a beautiful voice. 🙄
Lucy is lovely but doesn’t have the unique sound and look of Barbara
I take it, that was a joke right!!!!!?
You can say that again!!!!! Lucy hasn't got that irritating nazal tone that Barbra has.
Lucy is just a good cover singer who can’t sing well without vocal enhancements,autotune, and auto pitch in a studio! Sorry
The only one sorry is You, in your false, uneducated, biased opinion....so whatever. My brother tried to say the same thing about Garth Brooks, and then he stared doing live concerts with just his guitar....and that shut him up as well! Wait, you'll see....
Ja jaaa..you're a good joker !!!!
@ceegarcia3399
Nonsense. You have no idea what you are talking about.
Please get back under your rock. If you don´t know what you are talking about is best to say nothing.
Do you really understand anything about Lucy at all?!! She is the co-producer of an ORIGINAL, not rehashed, musical that will premier late next year, "Rosie", which Lucy will be performing LIVE, of course! She had to perform LIVE, albeit at age 15, in front of the West End committee, some of her songs written JUST for her: "Suddenly", "Starlight", and "Gentle Breeze", and also her award-winning performance, "Broken Dreams", when she was 18! She and her musical had to be accepted to perform in this prestigious theater district; they simply don't take just ANYONE! You bash someone you know absolutely NOTHING about...........can't sing well without vocal enhancements, auto tune, and auto pitch; why don't you tell the selection committee that 'secret' information.......I'm sure, if they knew that, then "Rosie" may up getting rescinded.............ha, ha, ha, ha, hilarious! Dude, you should be a stand-up comic with that rubbish coming out of your pie hole!!
Lucy is amazing and has an outstanding voice and whilst a parallel is quality of vocal does not have the Streisand X factor The best duet ever was Streisand and Celine Dion
Always here for a Lucy song. She does a great job. I’m sorry Ginger but I have to disagree with you, Barbra had a great voice too. However I will agree with you I would not pay that much for a ticket to see - anybody. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🦘
VERY NICE !!!!
