Well said. Im sure Eva was the inspiration....sings beautifully.....pure..crystal.....emotional...great performance. Great to see the next generation revitalizing these timeless melodies...Great songs always come back....good stuff.
Mr. King...Your appreciation of Lucy is music to my ears. I like how you do not specifically compare Lucy to Eva. That is how it should be. All great singers are unique in their interpretation and voice. Each brings what they can to the table. In this case, Lucy brings an amazing tribute for us to hear. I am a huge Lucy fan and have run out of superlatives to describe how talented and gifted Lucy is. Lucy also works hard and puts everything she's got into her songs. For me, Lucy is the best. She has a certain quality in her voice and beauty that cannot be quantified.
This performance is nearly two years old. You should take a listen to where she’s at vocally now. She just released her version of “The Greatest Love of All” last week.
Thank you for your reaction to this song. When I first heard Eva sing this song I was struck by the unique vocal phrasing and liked it very much. Lucy has taken Eva’s version and, in my opinion, took it up a notch (or 2 - or 3). Lucy has such a range that I don’t think there is anything, any genre that she can’t master. You are right she has very rich low notes and she is crystal clear with her high notes. Her enunciation is also so clear that every word is understandable, and, unless you are not familiar with the song, you don’t need the subtitles. Thanks again - I enjoy your perspective on the best singing performer on the internet.
Mr. King, Lucy got you like most of the other reactors. In first line/verse I saw a couple of smiles that showed your initial reaction, and then, out came "WOW!" Surprisingly Lucy can get that WOW almost right at the beginning. She has amazing breath control along with her excellent voice and clear pronunciation of the lyrics. Her vibrato sends chills up my spine (and sometimes cloudy eyes). The " I " at the very end really shows her vibrato and perfect pitch; long note (no drift), even and symmetrical vibrato, then into the very end of the " I " (still right on key). I'm definitely a fan.
I was focused on her vibrato the whole time, very smooth and natural sounding, definitely not overdone. If you haven't done any duets with her little sister yet, I recommend "You Raise Me Up".
Wilbur, agree with you on just the most beautiful and wide ranging voice ever! True, Eva has a very pretty, very emotional voice as well, but not the vibrato, range, projection that Lucy has! Yeah, this is a once in a lifetime voice and talent with Lucy and Lucy & Martha duets
There is a new video out called " SMILE". sung by Lucy, Martha and their mother Louise that is well worth reacting to as this shows where the musical talent comes from, and they sound great together.
I would love to watch your reaction to Lucy’s latest release, a new original song for an upcoming TV series called “Brand New Day”. Beautiful lyrics and Lucy’s vocals are amazing. 😊
Love your reactions and a fan of Lucy if you want to see where this all began check her singing Run by snow patrol when she was 10 my jaw hit the floor no 10 year old should sound like that
Thanks for reacting Lucy Thomas again👏 Please, could you react to a young irish singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot? His latest single "I'll be waiting and "All for you" are amazing.
@@wilburfinnigan2142 I am a huge Lucy fan, but I have to say that you simply don’t understand the difference between facts and opinions. There is no more a “best singer” than there is a best flavor of ice cream.
@@wilburfinnigan2142 There's not a bigger Lucy fan than me ; however you obviously haven't listened to much of Eva because she is the most versatile singer I've ever heard and the quality of her voice is unmatched and the passion and emotion with which she sings is in a League By Itself - Listening to them back to back there is an obvious difference in Eva's favor - Her range , tone , and breath control were otherworldly so I don't know how more technical a singer can be - They both covered At Last and Over The Rainbow and there simply is no comparison in the Quality of both
@@wilburfinnigan2142 I have experienced nearly as much life as you have and have managed to learn along the way that just because I like chocolate more than strawberry, that doesn’t mean that someone who likes strawberry better is mistaken. Or that chocolate is truky better than strawberry. The old saying “different strokes for different folks” holds true as does the much older saying “de gustibus non disputandum est”.
@@wilburfinnigan2142 You can offer explanations for why one singer sounds better to you than another, but in the end, it boils down to how they sound to you. You can’t change somebody’s reaction to music by arguing with them. Personally, I think Lucy Thomas has the most beautiful singing voice I have ever heard. But it is perfectly reasonable for someone else to have a very different opinion and they are entitled to it. Be happy that we can enjoy her and don’t fuss about other people’s musical taste.
this comparing is stupid , however whilst this girl is a beautiful singer , Eva Cassidys is so tender and emotional , i didnt see anyone commenting that Lucys version made them cry i certainly didnt whereas Eva's gets me everytime
Stellar performance! Thank you for bringing it!
Beautiful song and your voice is amazing Lucy Thomas

Thank you for your reaction to Lucy , who in my opinion is a star, I could ( and do listen to Lucy every day!

Stunning, don't know where the air comes from sometimes - but she can hold a note!
Lucy took this version to another level. Her voice is just perfection. Thank you for playing this cover.
A nice tribute to Eva; Lucy has a voice that is getting better and better; you can tell she works hard👍🏽💖🙏🏻🇺🇸
This is the most beautiful version of "Over The Rainbow". At last the song has come alive.
I was focused on her vibrato the whole time, very smooth and natural sounding, definitely not overdone. If you haven't done any duets with her little sister yet, I recommend "You Raise Me Up".
@@wilburfinnigan2142 Can't argue with that. Though I chose "You Raise Me Up" because they are singing it to each other, as much as to God.
Beautiful Lucy you really are great🤩😍
Lucy Thomas!, sheer class!💖🌟🥰
That instrument you did not recognise i think was a oboe.Beautiful performance.
I believe that the instrument you were asking about is an Oboe, a reed instrument, looks a little like a Clarinet.

Perfection improved? Happy 19th birthday 2/21 " This Girl Is A Woman Now "

No one will ever duplicate what Eva did.
Don't know why she sounded so posh on the 'can't at the end, she's a Lancashire lass, lol. 👍

Oboe
Could that instrument be a tenor sax?
I love Lucy and think she is certainly one of the best singers in the world but she is no Eva Cassidy - Having said that no one else is either

How true she is SO much better
Pre recorded! What do you expect? Eva sung with her guitar only.
this comparing is stupid , however whilst this girl is a beautiful singer , Eva Cassidys is so tender and emotional , i didnt see anyone commenting that Lucys version made them cry i certainly didnt whereas Eva's gets me everytime
Is that you Daddy 😂
Nope 😂
great performance, but a lil bit to bright for me
Pretty voice not eva
