Some trolls have said Lucy only sounds good in videos because she's been pitch corrected. Well several people went to her concert in Manchester, and said that "Live" she sounded even better than in her videos. So this is proof that Lucy unlike most singers today doesn't need any electronic manipulation.
An amazing performance as always, but to sing this song so beautifully after singing 16 songs before this is testament to Lucy's ability and professional talent.
The video version is different because it is more intimate, being face-to-face. As she is singing to an audience, the live version allows Lucy to really go for it and showcase her wonderful talent. And, as you say, her voice has matured so much.
This performance was simply STUNNING !!!! Lucy started out in her low register, maybe a little tired, her 17th song, an encore and built from there and she brought it home for us !!! Remembering too a live performance can have variances in them, Lucy can and did make little changes and that is what makes a live performance, and yes it was a more mature performance.....STUNNING !!! Thanks for the react !!!
The studio version was when she was 16. In the mean time she developed her low register more so now she did one hallelujah in low register (like in the Leonard C version). Lucy live is a sensation. If you had any doubt that she can sing... Still have sore hands from clapping that evening 🥰
It is interesting to see her use of the microphone, moving it away from her to moving it close up which is done deliberately as explained by another reactor in another of her stage performances. It explains some of her head movement with relation to the mic as well. This was a top notch professional performance better than the studio version about four years ago.
I was there! This was Lucy’s encore after a full two hour, 16 song concert before this, every song performed to perfection, the other 14 are on their way! I prefer Lucys live performances in pretty much every case, I’ve found 50+ so far!
Hi Maria so glad you got around to reacting to this live performance Lucy´s studio performance has 46million views and was picked for the Dennis Quaid Movie "On A Wing And A Prayer·" and many said is the most beautiful version of the song ever made. But this live version is on another level just fantastic. and I agree with everything you say concerning Lucy´s Abilities she is a super star Born this night at her Manchester concert.Thanks for continuing to support Lucy.
Phenomenal performance by the loveliest voice in music today. This young lady was born to entertain, so much talent. Lucy Thomas's star is getting brighter and brighter with every performance. Great reaction
Any song Lucy sings live is a rare special treat. I love that she has shown us then and showing us now her growth, by re-singing previously released songs. Live is better!👍🌹❤️
I've been following her since she started and was lucky enough to be able to see her live in Manchester. I wanted to know if she could really sing so incredibly wonderfully live. Believe me: she sounds even better in her live performance. I can fully endorse and confirm the conclusion of the reaction video.
A great performance and pleased that you enjoyed it. I have heard another reactor question if Lucy changes the lyrics. I don’t think she does. I think she sings the words so clearly that people are hearing the words that they maybe weren’t hearing before, which makes them think she has changed it.
She hasn’t changed the lyrics from her video 4 years ago and I believe follows the Alexandra Burke version. The more commonly sung version has an additional (excluding Leonard Cohen’s own multi verse song) verse which has more sexual connotations and is seemingly left out mostly these days. I believe the song benefits from being that bit shorter.
Hallo Maria, wonderful performance live from Lucy..and yes I think she is born for stage and she feels "at home". A dream came true...for her as well for all of her fans including myself. Nice reaction, Maria, as always❤. Have a lovely pentecost-time! Greetings from 🇩🇪🙋♀️
She is the best, both are just amazing and to do it live in front of so many ppl and still Sounded like the Angel she is.... I love your comment Put some soul in that sound Lucy ! And your head good giggle over here, Just beautiful
This stage performance was better. I attended. Lucy is so good at taking a song ,then wrapping her soul and warmth around it, then delivering to you exquistely. She is amazing believe me.
Also , We Can Change The World is also out Live performance! Yes there's a maturity to her voice since she first recorded it. So rounded and strong vocals, so much depth to her voice!
Hello Marie, I agree with you Lucy sings much better live, her concert in Manchester last month proved this, I know she will be having another live concert in Tokio in Selptember, then she must prepare herself for the musical "Rosie" which will be in the fall. Take care Barbara.
Hello Marie. I agree with you that Lucy sings so much better live. I was there in Manchester, so I know it was better. Lucy Thomas is great live. Thank you for your reaction.
The studio version may have been pitch corrected & maybe didn't show the real Lucy!,this live performance shows how great a vocalist Lucy is,there's no hiding on stage!,the last # of 17 & pitch perfect without anyone fiddling with it!😊
It most certainly could have been fiddled with before being released to RU-vid. Personally I hope it wasn’t maybe people who were at the concert can tell if this is an unadulterated version. I love this rendition, perfection.
The reason this live performance sounds so good is because unlike the studio version, there’s no pitch correction or autotune involved. So many times a live performance will be pitch corrected before it’s released on RU-vid, so the audio on the video isn’t the same as it was at the live performance. This performance wasn’t touched, thank God, so we get to hear Lucy’s beautiful natural voice with no technological interference! She needs to make sure she has full artistic control in her next recording contract so she can decide whether or not to use pitch control in her recordings. There are artists who have this written into their contracts, and Lucy is good enough to be one of them.
@@CholseyroyalI was there, this is what the 430 or so of us who were there heard after 16 other vocal performances ( with Lucy they’re not just ‘songs’) of equal standard
Great reaction Marie! Yes, you are right. Lucy's studio performance was tremendous. But Lucy's live performance was nothing short of spectacular! Lucy's voice has matured. Her voice is fuller and richer now. Please, please, please continue being a regular reactor to Lucy (and her younger sister Martha). Please do not hesitate to play and react to some of Lucy's earlier performances at ages 14 and 15. They often get overlooked, even by the greatest reactors like you. Even at a younger age, Lucy’s voice was already mature beyond her years and absolutely stunning. You absolutely have to play and react to Lucy’s breathtaking performances of: “LISTEN”; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--fGe8Z4uLWE.html At only age 14, Lucy had the mature, passionate, and powerful voice of an adult diva. And “I’LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN"; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4g1Qpu9XPL8.html At only age 15, Lucy’s emotional and powerful performance was even better than the original. And “RUN” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HTnry6S4vgc.html At only age 15, Lucy’s voice was so rich and powerful; I promise you will be blown away. Hopelessly Addicted in Arizona
@@rjopis How can there be autotune on a LIVE performamce? That would need to be done post-production, and everyone in the audience here can attest tjhat whet is heard here is what they heard live.
@@rjopiswhich seat were you in at Stoller Hall? I was in G21, Lucy sounded better live even than in this video, the acoustics in that space are superb.
@@rjopis It sounds like you are making an assumptiom and stating it as fact. What evidence is there that autotune was used? One would think that live autotune would ceate some "wobble" in voice here and there.
