    The main thing to always remember, when comparing Lucy to one of the greats, is Lucy’s age. That she is as good as them, at such a tender age, speaks volumes for her ability.

    Babes made this iconic, Lucy makes it legendary. When Lucy and Martha mature some they will be the best of all time. After 25 years of very forgettable music, minus a few exceptions. It is fulfilling to see true talent again. No need for 40 people with micro phones that can’t carry a note anymore. Thank god for you Lucy.

    I actually like Lucy's voice better than Barbra's. Babs has the range and the power, no doubt, but Lucy has all that and she also has much more "warmth" in her voice. I think her voice is....well....prettier. You don't hear a lot of breathiness, or any nasal quality in her voice. It's like she has power up to 100 but only needs the power of 10 to blow us away. She has so much in reserve. Her vibrato is amazing and she has bags and bags of breath control. Holds that last note for about 17 seconds. Wow.

    Lucy is without doubt the greatest singer ever in every way already , there's no debate , Lucy has everything, the most beautiful tone , perfect pitch,vibrato ,breath control, the ability to really connect with her audience, she makes you feel like she is singing personally to you, she just grabs your attention from her first word, note or even humm, not ever have I had goosebumps,hair standing on my arms or making me cry consistently from almost every performance, and I've heard all the all-time greats over many years and none of them have me those feelings except on very rare moments

    Hi Larry or Chris? I just posted my comments on your review of Lucy n
    “ THE WAY WE WERE” ahh yes, you must have got a lot of replies re the EYES! Haha. I think the biggest difference between Barbara n Lucy is as you said, a change in inflection by both in the higher pitch range but Lucy can change it again on the way down. Also, it’s Lucy power in her vocals that’s so surprising. It’s like we can turn the volume up up up with Lucy n those sounds seem endless n like they carry us way above the clouds n yet that power is still there when we turn the volume down. It’s as though she’s energised to go way above the maximum limit n yet still come back to ground level with such softness, purity n so clear n crisp! Yet still has that power.
    Yes she is without doubt the best female voice in the world in my humble opinion

After listening to so many of Lucy’s songs I am getting used to her amazing technical abilities and am now looking for more expression of personality, little Lucyisms. These are developing and will as you say develop further with experience. To my ears she is already ahead of the field even with more development and voice maturity still to come.

    Lucy's name actually means,
    *L-I-G-H-T*...
    I GUESS SOME THINGS ARE JUST MEANT TO BE...
    Because she is most definitely "LIGHT" and "LOVE" radiating onto each ear that is being caressed by her peaceful and breathtaking voice... She's pure poetry ..
    Her heart, her soul, her voice..
    She's simply divine in every way...
    *By the way, I personally prefer Lucy's cover of this song by far..
    Barbara's voice is definitely one of a kind but its just not making love to my ears, my heart and my soul.. the way Lucy's does..
    I mean, not even close.
    For me, it's even more about Lucy's aura (glow) that takes my breath away each and every time ..

    Hi Chris! I guess I will add my two cents into the conversation. 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 Barbara 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 CZcams channel. There is no doubt in my mind which version of Evergreen is the best and it isn't Barbara'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 Barbara is not one of the best female vocalists of all time, Lucy is just better. That's my opinion and I am sticking to it!

Barbara is an icon that cannot be compared .Her talent is way beyond many great singers because she does it all .she sings ,acts, produces,directs.so yes maybe compare vocal ability but as an artist i am sorry but i totally disagree.We are also talking vastly different eras also.The songs that lucy takes on are timeless classics.i hope we get to hear some of Lucys original music in years to come otherwise she will only be known as a great singer not ARTIST.

    Interesting comments about “the subtle things that separate Barbra from the rest of the crowd.” These idiosyncrasies (ornamentations, embellishments, etc.) are what make singers unique. As you point out throughout this video, Lucy has ones of her own. You speculate that as Lucy matures, she will do more of the things Barbra does. I very much doubt it. She will undoubtedly add more of the things that define her own sound. And that is as it should be. No matter how great a singer is, we don’t need more who sound the same. Each voice is unique and that is a wonderful thing for us to experience.

I for one have to agree with the fan club and say I favor Lucy over Barbra but I acknowledge that Barbra is a icon and set the standard with the bar very high. The fact that Lucy can even match Streisand tells us how truly amazing she is. Lucy truly is a phenomenal vocalist and certainly one of the best in the world.

Natural perfection etc. I was stunned I nearly removed the video .however all is good now .Every body talks about AJ. starting singing so young I actually saw her in Oslo on Norway´s got talent she was amazing for her age which helped get her the vote human nature I suppose. What many don´t know is that Lucy started very young as well her first full length video is at the age of 9 when she sung "Colours of the wind" from Pocahontas. and for a 9 year old you wouldn´t believe what you are hearing she released another video of "Run" at 10 years old and the next at 13 "One Day" for Chris Broom. Lucy Started singing at 7. and has had the same voice coach ever since. I suggest that you have a look at some of Lucy´s old stuff and you will truly see how great Lucy really is.

The latest duets show Martha delaying her vibratto with more control like Lucy has. I can't stop listening to your songs, Lucy and Martha. Please stay grounded and avoid the pitfalls of success like what happened to Whitney Houston who lost her great voice and eventually her life to drugs and alcohol.

As you keep mentioning her. There are a lot of Duets on Lucy´s Channel. Martha unlike Lucy Looks on singing as a hobby where as Lucy lives and breathes music. Martha is into show jumping and spends all her free time with her horse cloud ,she very good and has won some medals. Its possible that they may do the odd duet from time to time only time will tell but it is unlikely to be only regular basis. Also Martha is still at school.

      Hi@@larryshair . I’m in my mid-60s. I don’t sing but I know a good voice when I hear one. My exposure of expertise, both my parents were professional opera singers. My mom at 17 years old was driven in a limousine to Carnegie hall to sing as a soloist. As she sang they record the song live which was “love is where you find it” that newly recorded record was played on the first commercial radio station United States KDKA Pittsburg. My mom’s last employer was Rogers and Hammerstein. Etc. She was In 52 Broadway shows, originals like. Oklahoma, Porgy and Bess, Annie get your gun etc. She was a soprano, hit E above high C. could ring a crystal bowl in our house. Lucy is an anomaly at her age. Lucy breath control is absolutely incredible. Her Bravado is perfect!!! I been tracking Lucy for a while along with her sister and now hearing her mom. And credible family of voices. A while back I tried to give Lucy some down to earth advice. Just keep doing what you’re doing and don’t get sucked into the party music world. I don’t know who her vocal coach is, but just keep the formula going.

    Hi Larry/Chris - please clarify?
    I enjoy your reactions to Lucy videos a lot, but you continue to be critical of Lucy for not looking at the camera in her rendition of 'The Way We Were'. I think this a mistake because Lucy is much more than just a vocalist - she is a performance artist, telling and acting out the story behind the song.
    I realise, as with all Lucy fans, that you want to be 'fixed' by those hypnotic blue eyes, but this is, on occasion, not appropriate for the song.
    Lucy's wonderful cover of Cold Play's 'Fix You', if you have not already viewed it, will give you everything you want in this department! 😊

    Hi there Chris. I think I got some good news this time. I decided to try one more time. Realizing that my mom doesn't even care about me after all these years literally destroyed me, but you know what? I won't give a damn about it. I already did it once without her support so I can do it again. Guess I was never meant to have a loving parent and it hurts as f*ck when I think about it but it is what it is. I have YOU, Patti, and this wonderful community and it's all I need!
    Your yesterday's reply opened my eyes, thank you so very much my friend!!
    P.S.
    Unfortunately my depression stole another dream from me... I worked my butt off for last couple months and saved every penny to be able to afford a trip to US because it's one of my biggest dreams to see that "American Dream" in person. Then you announced that you're going to NFs concert and I knew that I gotta be there as well. It was impossible to save enough for a proper vacation trip in such short period of time but I didn't care. I had enough to afford the flights, the concert and maybe stay there for at least one day but I messed it all up again... I wasn't able to work for more than a month now because of my condition so I had to use my savings to pay the taxes, insurance and therapy and I can't afford the trip anymore... I just hope there will be another opportunity to meet you and thank you in person. If you don't mind of course.

    I usually agree with your reviews because I see the music touch you. This young woman is pretty and has a good voice but Barbra did it first and wrote the song. Alot of young woman are pretty with good voices. I hope she succeeds but lots of female artists have been compared to Barbra. The only ones that became huge was Celine or Laura Fabian. It takes a lot to live up to The legacy of Barbra Streisand. You cannot prove you lived up to her legacy by singing one song. Why doesn't she try to sing a Barbra song that is really hard to sing like Make It Like A Memory or The Main Event/Fight.

She is the co-producer of this musical and everything is completely from scratch: casting, sets, wardrobes, musical scores, lyrics, writing, etc., not one of these musicals that has been copied and performed ad nauseum.
