Lucy Thomas - Hallelujah - Reaction - Indeed one of the most incredible versions yet! 

To me she is the most beautiful singer in the world!! She creates so much emotion with her voice!! She is a phenomenon !

and GOD said on the eighth day "Let there be a voice" and Lucy Thomas was born

One of the incredible things about Lucy is that no matter how many times you watch her sing the same song she still brings goosebumps and tears.

I have listened to her version of this song so many times I actually lost count. This for me is by far the best solo version of the song (Not to exclude Martha's backup vocals by any means). Lucy is truly amazing... She sings her songs like she witnessed the story/event first hand. If she told me she was there, I would believe her without hesitation or questioning.

When I first watched this 2 1/2 years ago it may have had 8 million views, I checked in again 2 years later it was over 41 million. I have not found a better version.

As for her relationship to the camera, it's beautifully coached. She owns the camera. I've heard several commenters say it feels like she's singing to them personally. Wow! what a voice and performance from a 16 year old. Wow!

She is indeed an angel in both look and voice. I think she has the best voice on the planet.

To sing this at the age of SIXTEEN !!!! She always brings tears of joy to me when I hear her sing this as well !! Simply amazing.

Lucy has the most amazing and angelic voice. This is the best version I've ever heard.

She is just amazing. She kills this song, What a beautiful girl. A new favorite singer.

Hands down the best version of this song ever recorded.

The Eye Contact will melt you to flubber..❤

My all time fav, singer, and song- her endings on 'jah', totally mesmermize me!

People throw the word prodigy around alot but it rarely fits until now. she truly is a prodigy

Lucy her sister Martha and mother Louise sing together. SMILE. What a talented and beautiful family.

G'day from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🍹🖐 Lucy is the real deal 👍 This girl is very young & will only get stronger in the Years to come ! She has amazing beauty & her tone in that lower register is so sultry & easy for her 👍 Whats not to like about this talented girl ? Lucy makes the hard sound so easy ! The world is at her feet .

39 million views on RU-vid can't be wrong ❤

My new favorite female singer! That was tremendous! Phenominal. My favorite version of this song! I will be buying her recording! Elvis is my favorite male singer. Favorite Elvis song. His release single of Can't Help Falling In Love. 1961. Back to Lucy! This is my favorite Lucy Thomas song. Absolutely angelic and heavenly. This young lady can really sing.

Stunning, beautiful, the sounds, ah the sound, perfect. This young songbird owns my heart. Like a true siren, she beckons, i listen. She shows her soul, i weep. She reaches a crescendo, I shake, i am wholly hers. See softens, I become aware. She lets me go with a smile, I know I was had. I play it again. Thank you..

This is absolutely perfect. Lucy feels songs better than anyone else.

Her voice is a gift from God. I've heard it countless times, and it never fails to bring a tear. She's a very special young lady.

Simply beyond compare, an incomparable measure of excellence in tone and musicality. Such control and projection, seemingly without effort, are more than astounding.

This song the best version I have never heard. She is the best singer in her world today. And the sister Martha is has amazing voice too. She only 19 years old, Thank you Larryshair for the best comments about Lucy Thomas.

This is Lucy she is a star in the making❤❤

She's just the best, Once you've heard and seen Lucy Thomas and it's for ever ⭐️❤️

The emotions are real..watched at least 100X..tear up..chills every time. Well done creator well done.

She brings tears to a couple of greybeards like us imagine being her parents and seeing this😊😊😊

The most beautiful voice I have ever heard and the most beautiful young woman I have ever seen.

She has been blessed in so many ways. Been listening to her for several months now and have never heard a voice as beautiful as hers and I am a die hard Celine fan! Her and her sister Martha will bring tears to your eyes as well as a duet. Keep them coming!

The best version ever at such a young age

Watching your building reaction, as the song progressed, and then your surrender near the end....that was me too. Absolutely incredible and exactly what we all need! I may not believe in a Supreme Being but Lucy has me questioning myself. 😉

This is the only version of the song I have ever purchased after so many years and so many iterations. Lucy. by far, nailed this better than any other artist I've ver heard, I agree. If you haven't seen or heard, this version by Lucy was recently part of the score for a new amazon movie called On a Wing and a Prayer with Dennis Quaid and Heather Graham. I heard the song come on and knew, instantly, that was her rendition of it. I think this might very well be the song that propels her career and we may yet see many more soundtracks featuring Lucy Thomas.

Larry, It has been 1 year since you created this review of Lucy Thomas singing her rendition of 'Hallelujah'. Since then, not a single performer has come close to Lucy's level of perfection. Hard to believe she was only 16 when she performed this. I too was performing at age 16, but I never came close to what I am hearing from her. She is so good in fact, I have to remind myself Lucy is human. When you can run the scale both ways effortlessly on 1 breath, I take note. Come to think of it, this is first song I heard by Lucy. I was so impressed I have been following since. Anyone can sing good, can copy music, and add another check mark. But Lucy is not willing to be just good, Lucy wants to be the best. She is her own critique and pushes herself hard. It shows in every new performance as she beats her last song. Rumor has it Angels have to to Earth for singing lessons from Lucy. Did you catch how she can change the character of her notes by changing the shape of her mouth. I have never seen so much vocal finesse from someone still so young. Please pinch me to see if I am not dreaming this. How can anyone perform at this level? When a young performer can add perfect vibrato on mouthed sounds as a constant pitch and volume without running low on air is too amazing. Maybe this old dog has found his new bone, called Lucy Thomas. Forget using superlatives, we ran out of them 2 years ago. Now we write about Lucy's ability to use her music as she tells us a story. Put on your seat belt, Lucy is taking us places like no others. She has tapped our emotions so deep, personal, and consistent. In a different time and place, I wish I had signed her. Lucy doesn't copy music, she improves it. I could easily write pages describing 'feelings and emotions' Lucy can evoke from us. I am so happy to see Lucy give classic songs new air time. Frank Sinatra and Leonard Cohen are smiling down from Heaven. Time for me to take my own breath now...

Amazing Lucy has it all, from achingly sublime delicacy to awesome controlled power.

That's exactly so. This beautiful young lady is absolutely WOW! Lucy's voice and soul into her singing are heavenly!

Larryshair...What a great reaction to one of the best versions of Hallelujah. Lucy never disappoints. I love how she is able to give me shivers with every song she sings.

Lucy is humble but definitely not shy, she's the greatest ever singer, and one of the most beautiful ever young women I've ever seen,the most beautiful crystal clear voice and tone and amazing voice control ,sings with heart and soul, and as an added bonus, the most beautiful blue eyes and a smile that lights up the world ,what more could you want, of course she's best at harmonising also with her younger sister Martha, Will Callan is not bad either

Loved and really enjoyed your reaction to this amazing young vocalist. Is there any better quality in a young successful person than humility?, I think that Lucy Thomas is one of those special young people, regardless of her success she seems to remain grounded and humble. Hats off also to those family, friends and other support people around her. ❤️😊

She us rhe absolute BEST ever! So beautiful too!

I can’t disagree with your opinions, we have so much talent coming through. Cheers from Australia 🦘🇦🇺

Music can move your soul. The words of this song ring true. The author was truly a wise man indeed.🤗

Voice of an angel. The good lord bless her with a beautiful voice .. Definitely 1 to10 I give it 11

Yeah. I only discovered her myself a few weeks ago. She’s 18 now but was only 16 when she sang that. A lot more outstanding covers from her on RU-vid and also some not to be missed duets with her five years younger sister.

I have been struggeling all day. Ruff day. Needed to cry but I couldnt. But this made me let go and cry. And it was nice to cry with you. Music is so amazing ♥️Thank you my friend

It's okay. She does this to all of us. Oh yea and she was only 16!!! Best ever.

Great reaction. If this has you in bits, try "The Pray" which Lucy does with her sister. Her range/power is incredible. Lucy is the find of the decade. I've been following her since her music debut of Moon River when she was only 13. It was that obvious she had something special.

*_Thank you for a wonderful and honest reaction to Lucy Thomas...._* Lucy has been singing since she was young, have heard as young as 7. Her first video was age 9. She is currently 18, has released 4 albums, and many singles. She is from the United Kingdom and signed a record contract right after The Voice - Kids UK at age 14. Lucy truly is one of a kind. Your reaction is typical of others hearing Lucy Thomas first time. I heard 'Hallelujah' the first time also. Lucy's technical singing skills are better then many pros with decades of experience. She was only 16 or 17 when she recorded this. When I first heard it, I almost fell out of my chair. I have over a decade of singing and acting experience. I had to play song over and over to make sure my ears and eyes weren't tricking me. They weren't - Lucy is the real deal. Lucy doesn't copy songs, she improves them. Her rendition of 'Hallelujah' is best I have ever heard, and I have heard dozens before. I have a standing bet no one will beat it. Even if they copied her, they can never do it as well. The song has many millions of view for a good reason - it is talent on a whole new level. Her technical singing skills are amazing; perfect breath control, multi-octave vocal range, exact note placement, her vibrato is so tight it doesn't vary more than a 1/4 note up or down. Her physical delivery skills help listeners connect at a very emotional level. It is as Lucy is standing in front of you singing a solo just for you. She is beyond amazing. *_Thanks again for a wonderful reaction..._*

More than 2 weeks passed since this video. Waiting for another great reaction to Lucy talent, voice, beauty and soul. 🤔🧐👍❤️🤗🥰. Any Lucy's video is stunning, so you have a lot of choice👍

Lucy is one of those rare talents who can become the new standard to judge other artists against.with her performances. Exceptional talent who has so clearly put a vast amount of time and dedication into learning her skill and also great teachers and support obviously to get her here. I rate here as good or better than talents like Linds Rhondstast or Karen Carpentar or Mama Cass Eliot. and only just turning 19 next month.

If you are susceptible to getting emotional when listening to beautiful songs, and you intend to listen to Lucy singing with her sister Martha, be warned. Their song ‘You Raise Me Up’, sung when they were 16 and 11, really should come with the following warning - ‘Strong Risk of Making Grown Men Cry’. The risk is not much less with many of their other songs.

Absolutely Beautiful

Come on Larry how could you ever doubt that it wouldn't be the best version ever, especially after you had already heard her sing before

Absolutely Stunning!

I could listen to probably 50 different women sing this song, most of them probably singing it very well, but OMG this girl with her incredible and beautiful talent, her insane beauty and her humbleness, gets to me on a deep emotional level. What does that, how does such a powerful emotional overpowering link happen? Such a joy, sublime. Another Muse walking amongst us.

My favorite version has always been K.D. Lang's Juno Awards in Winnipeg in 2005 performance but this one by Lucy Thomas.....just wow. I'll be listening to both from now on.

I have been a diehard PTX fan since 2011 when they exploded onto the world. I was early saying they don’t do covers, they do upgrades. I have been saying that exact thing about Lucy. She upgrades everything she touches. Listen to her sing Evergreen, just wow!💥🔥💥

She's humble yeah and awesomely intelligent beautiful so sweet classy natural🌿🌸🦢

Lucy Thomas...! Uncanny that you got hit the same way I did when I first heard her, 3 weeks back! I called that, "11" too! And a couple tears... . Just simply & solemnly blown away! Beautiful girl, amazing pipes! Yes, effortlessly & natural! Even though a stanza was not included, Leonard Cohen's (up there) quite surprised & bet please by her version of his masterpiece song. Did you hear whispers of Whitney Houston in there...?

This is a really awesome cover. What is with these young singers. What is with these young singers? I mean we have Lucy Thomas (musical/pop), we have Angelina Jordan (Jazz/bleus), we have Amira Willighagen (classical/religious), we have Jadyn Rylee (pop/rock),and of course lots of other teen-singers. They are all 17-19 years of age now, they have each a unique voice/genre/stile and they all are giving us lots of emotion when they do sing. It is mind blowing and I love it to follow their musical dreams. It is not "who is the best" because they are all extremely talented and it is just a joy to see/hear them all.

I've always had the feeling that when Lucy sings a number like this, the camera is irrelevant to her. The camera IS there, she is conscious of it and glances at it now and then, but she is simply immersed in the music and the singing. To add insult to injury: Every word Lucy sings is clear and intelligible! We, the audience, can and will understand every word, every phrase she pours into the song. Regarding the background voices: It is highly likely that her little sister Martha AND her mother Louisa were part of it!

I would like to hear lucy sing one moment in time it would suit her wonderful voiceto a tee

she has a great vibrato her and carrie underwood do it really good.

Great reaction!! She is absolutely amazing!! Thanks again for introducing me to her!!

You nailed it Larry, or maybe, she nailed you :) Don't worry, your not alone! I've watched this video many times and it just doesn't get any better. Her perfect voice is straight down the line; the background music and vocals; and her performance. Wow! As far as the "humility", it's just right. Lucy should hang on to it. She looks a little unsure that she can pull the song off, but no worries, she can. She starts off so sweet, then she builds, and... could it get any better? Yes, it can and does! She's like a powerful muscle car with the driver going through the gears. Top gear is coming and you just somehow know it won't let you down - and she doesn't! Man....she's stunning!

Your tears get me everytime Chris! What a wonderful way to end the week. Thanks darlin. Hope the new year is being kind to you and your family......HUGS,patti 🤗

larryshair , she does indeed have a beautiful humility about her. However, I think the avoidance of looking into the camera comes from her theatrical training and background in acting. She is not just singing the song; she is acting it out in her mind, word inflections, facial expressions, eye movements, and other body language. In addition to a vocal artist, she is also a playwright, stage producer, and actress. For the past few years (partially interrupted by Covid), since the age of 14, she has co-written a play called "Rosie," along with several songs within the play, which is scheduled to premiere at London's famed West End Theatre either this year or 2024. She is not only co-writer and co-producer, but will have the starring role of "Rosie." It's a true story based on the life of Rosie Boote who, as an Irish orphan girl, escaped from a convent, traveled to England, joined a girls' chorus line performing in Edwardian stage comedies of that era, fell in love with a member of royalty, and became Marchioness of Headfort in 1901. She lived a very eventful life of joy and sadness. Long story short, I believe Lucy uses the avoidance of eye contact technique as part of her performance training. She often does, indeed, look into the camera, if it is conducive to the message and expression of the song. So, humility? Yes. Shyness? No.

Beautiful and flawless

Lucy Thomas now ranks right there in a battle for my favorite young female singer. It was always Jackie Evancho and the Lucy came along and jumped right up there with her. You are amazed that a singer so young can have that vocal control. I suggest you journey back eleven years to either her PBS special or her guest appearance on BGT to hear 11 year old Jackie do "Nessun Dorma" the aria from Turandot made famous by Pavarotti. I know you would think, how can an 11 year old tackle something like that. Listen and you'll know.

Her Beautiful voice Bless by The Almighty God,,, what and incredibly beautiful angelic face, her voice to match her Beauty from GOD ALMIGHTY NO DOUBT,, THIS CHILD JUST BLESSES ME IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. THANK YOU OH FATHER OF ABRAHAM AND ISIAC, JACOB PRAISE, IN JESUS CHRIST THY HOLY NAME🙏🙏🙏

A gift from God.. a talent God given ❤

Hello It's simple she's goddes voice from heaven.

Hi from the 🇬🇧 Please react to her version of The Prayer with her younger sister Martha, it’s out of this world. There are a few others which are also very, very good 🥰

Amen Brother!

In terms of her shyness and humility about looking into the camera, keep in mind she’s only 15 or 16 years old in this performance.

Hi Chris! New artist for me. I really enjoyed the reaction and her voice is awesome. Hope you are doing well and your family too.

Transcendent- thanks for another great review, and introduction to a gifted artist!

Wow just wow

I bet you have never heard this song,song as good as Lucy does it.

AMAZING LUCY !!!!

both her mother and her sister are fantastic singers...it could be both or either singing background.

I love this song.

I agree with all your comments. Would love to hear your wife’s thoughts.

Yup..near as I can figure Lucy was 16 when she did this... So maybe you thought Dolly, Linda OR Whitney did the best version of "I will always love you"....HAH...think again (although BLESS Dolly for writing it)...

Hi,I have said it before,Lucy just plays with the music and notes…as if it is a game to be enjoyed.

I'm from the same small town as Lucy. we have a lot of talent who come from wigan. If you get a chance take a look at the lathums.. Struggle or the verve... Bitter sweet sympathy.

Very good reaction. Thank you!

She did this recording at the age of 16.

I would like to see you react to Lucy and Martha's song "In the Arms of an Angel" first. Lucy was 15 and Martha was 10 at the time, i believe. Then react to them singing "The Climb". In The Climb I believe Lucy is 18 and Martha is 12, real close to 13 yrs old.

BeautifulVoiceAndShesGorgeous GODBLESSHER🙏🌹

Best vocal❤

Absolutely beautiful 😍

'¡¡¡APRECIADO HERMANO!': --'¡LUCY THOMAS ES GLORIOSAMENTE PERFECTIVA A INFINITUDES INCOMPARABLES!!!' --'¡PODE'IS DISFRUTAR TAMBIE'N A STAR LIGHT, ...A EVERGRINM. !!! --'¡ES INCOMPARABLEMENTE GLORIOSA!!!'

Check out her version of Make You Feel My Love

I dont agree with you about that she is shy, for me she she is a very good performer and make this video even better with her perform.

Larry Shair: I hope and pray you are in good health; in a recent reaction you said you were having some heath problem. Whatever, I have a STRONG recommendation. PLEASE play WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. I just played it 6 times TODAY! Got your reaction chills and had to use several tissues. It is the Best song in ROSIE, because it's a "message" cover. Lucy puts her whole soul into the verses, aimed to find love not hate in this fragile world. Don't let me down. Play it for your devoted followers....and let the tears flow. 😓

Lucy your going to the top!

You make the comment that Lucy Thomas is "shy" She was 17 when she recorded this cover. Also, Lucy has lost two years of exposure due to this pandemic. She is going head to head with some of the heaviest hitters in the music industry and her head is still attached to her shoulder. She will become the standard by which certain music is judged.

Came back and had another look at your reaction to Lucy on this one. Glad to see that you have stuck with Lucy. Visited your reaction to bridge over troubled waters a handful of days ago. Lucy is just amazing. Best wishes for Xmas- I wonder if Lucy will release another Xmas song? 🙂

Wow!!!

Please check out over the rainbow
