Hi Bob- I agree re the song itself. Yes Streisand is a great singer but this song never had much affect on me … until NOW. OMG, WOW WOW WOW, Lucy sings this song as a beautiful LOVE song as a story to us n it really sells how beautiful she’s made this song. It’s now one of my all time favourite songs. If anyone had said this to me 6 months ago I would’ve laughed but she just manages to seem like she is singing to each of us but like , one on one- a solo performance for you, I n everyone. She has made this so it’s now a re-release of a LOVE SONG. Gee she sounds like a voice from Heaven . An Angel bringing a gift from God. Lucy somehow manages to mesmerise us, hypnotise us with the way she uses her eyes when looking at the camera. She takes us on a ride out of this world and into a magical place where she just absorbs us into a new place. Yes she looks a million $’s but in a way of a really grounded young lady . She makes the bad days seem so much better when I hear that voice. I’m so captivated by her music I get excited n start telling all my friends n family about this NEW VOICE. I believe she is without doubt the best female singer in the world n yes I’ve heard plenty of great singers in my 70 yrs. I hope I’m still around in another 20 yrs to witness this amazing lady to set the music industry upside down . God Bless Lucy n her family. 🙏🏻🌹⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊
Bob, just admit it: you have experienced the 'Lucy effect'! Yes, her vocals are from another plane of existence; I feel she steps into our dimension to grace us with perfection: vocals and the emotion & passion she performs with EVERY time! Best solo performer I have ever heard or seen, hands down!
I just wish I could see her perform live. The songs that she has performed from the upcoming musical “Rosie” are also amazing. The musical is supposed to come out on 2024 but I don’t know if she will really do that lead role. I think it would be impossible to do that role and have concerts also. If she does that role in “Rosie “ and I could get tickets I would travel anywhere to see it.
Wow!! another masterpiece by the most amazing vocalist in at least a generation! I honestly believe a song could never be written that this girl couldn't turn to pure gold!!! Thank You Bob for another great reaction video!!
Thanks. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen to my reaction. That means a lot to me, especially since there's probably thousands of reactors out there. She is just so incredibly good. Already looking forward to the next song from her.
Her version is the very best, lovely and lively performance, Younger and sweetier rendition, a very dynamic enterpretation. Adding to that, it's the worldwide popularity of the song Evergreen .. it is also a very competitive song, it's a "(fight song) in every singing contest in the Philippines, me and my elder brother was toppled by this song interpreted by a Filipina during our tender years of singing competition. Lucy Thomas is an excellent artist ❤👍🎵🎶😊😯💖
Bob, you may not be a vocal coach but not everyone is. Your critiques contain a lot of content in the man-in-the-basement style which, for the non-coaches among us, gets across the facets of a rendition that make that rendition easy on the ears and they convey the general feeling the song leaves on you. Listening to your comments is like a couple of people sitting at the kitchen table discussing what they just heard. 😀
This was a masterclass performance by Lucy. This amazing young lady is bringing serenity beauty and peace into this much troubled world. That is a public service of the greatest merit. She deserves every accolade she gets. Thank you for your beautiful singing Lucy. You are an international treasure. There is no one better than this.
She continues to amaze me every single time I hear her. I really went into listening to her music with zero expectations. But wow, she changed that almost immediately. Thanks for the listen.
Lucy attracts many comments about her beauty all of which are justified. What truly amazes me though is how nice her personality is and this comes across so powerfully to enhance the listening experience for me. Lucy is simply unique and her commitment to her craft is a wonderful gift to all of us.
Exactly. She comes across as such a genuine person. She had even commented on one of my reactions a number of months back. That was really sweet of her. I'm officially a fan for life.
Wow before one word this was a masterpiece Lucy has the ability to make you feel like she is singing directly to you there's nobody better than Lucy thank you for your reaction
Wow!wow!wow! And more wows for Miss Lucy Thomas❤ standing ovation. I love this girl so amazing.Thank you for your reaction. God bless you Lucy and your family.and God bless you too. Thank you Lucy Thomas❤
Lucy Thomas sings this song better than Barbra herself... Every new performance is better than the last. Lucy has real talent and is not afraid to use it. She was just a kid when I discovered her on TH-cam. I have seen her grow and mature on screen. Even at age 14, Lucy was far ahead of others in their generation. This performance is typical Lucy Thomas Magic.... 1 camera, 1 mic, 1 take start to finish. Lucy is singing this live, not hiding in a studio. Many will simply lip sync in front of camera, toss in some gimmicky edits, then roll it out. Lucy does just the opposite. That is more proof just how good Lucy really is. She has no peers even close. Lucy Thomas is the greatest voice of her generation today... full stop.
Yep, that was the icing on the cake. I can't even count how many times I've replayed this (not my reaction, her video of course). ha. So incredibly good.
Bob, dude, EVERYONE compares EVERYTHING, just simple human nature! Go ahead and compare! Yes, I have listened to both Babs and Lucy........this is ZERO disrespect for the GOAT, Barbra Streisand because Babs has more awards and accolades to go along with a 60 year career, yes 60 friggin' years! Let's give the legend, herself, some serious kudos! You wonder why Babs is Lucy's idol, no brainer here! This being said, Lucy has this heavy, rich, deep, layered vocal at ANY octave, especially those low notes where you actually hear some resonance, just uncanny! Lucy's control, vibrato, range, and power are unmatched against ANY solo performer, past or present! By the way, the Japanese people who witnessed Lucy perform LIVE were blown away! She has a lot of young, Japanese women as supporters; there is a photo of this!
Bob, Lucy can still turn on the water works for me. Her voice comes across (at least to me) as very emotional here. I can barely watch it without almost losing my composure. Another reactor mentioned that Lucy's vibrato is master class. He said if you want a vibrato lesson listen to this video on her channel and learn from er vibrato. I agree with him and you. Plus, when she uses vibrato when there's power behind the note her vibrato just drills right through me. Hands--down my favorite vocalist currently.
Lucy vc é indiscutivelmente uma das melhores estrelas no mundo da música, cantora extraordinária, linda voz e também bastante afinada , trata-se de uma cantora linda e de bela voz ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌹👍
Your face Bob all the way through that was a story in itself. Lucy can do that to people. She is the world's best female vocalist, no question. No song is safe from her ability to out do and with her all round appeal, her power to in captivate is second to none. She really is something isn't she.
Hi Bob...WOW what a great reaction. Yes, the incredibly talented Lucy really did something special to this song. She made it into a masterwork. Oh soooo good!
Hey Bob, we really enjoyed your reaction and thank you for your ongoing support of this incredibly talented vocalist. Lucy Thomas fans, hang on because it’s going to be one hell of a ride. 👏👏😊❤️🇦🇺
Bob, since I don't remember the original that well, I can't compare. BUT, right where you pointed, not only did she hold a note a bit longer, her voice also went into a bit of a lilt (sp); sensational emotional addition. This one is really having an impact on me. Also, you mentioned how she seems to alter a note or hold one, altering things from the original. I've said it before, Lucy does not copy, she covers and make songs her own. So she, her producer, or whoever creates the rendition (including backing track), is doing a great service to the music she makes.
Hi ya Bob - once again you have really nailed your reaction to Lucy's latest performance. As already mentioned, Lucy is the best vocalist in the world today. She gets better with each performance and more beautiful every day. I usually comment on a reactor's verbal comments, their facial expressions, and whether they wax elegant on the artist to whom they are reacting. YOU are truly a Lucy fan and I really enjoy watching all of your reactions to her. Thank you for being such a great supporter of Lucy!
Until now, Dame Gracie Fields was always the 'Lancashire Lass', now I believe Lucy is Lancashire's sparkling gem. With every new rendition I marvel again at her remarkable vocals only matched by he captivating beauty - I want her to marry me! Hey I'm in my eighties and allowed to dream.
What always entrances me with Lucy's singing is the arrangements to match her voice and ability along with the song selection While she has the power and control to blow most other singers out of the water the performances display her abilities without over using them leaving you to anticipate and enjoy them and want more. Most importantly it shows a respect for the song that great and popular songs should get they are not just add ons to display the singer they carry meaning of theire own. The background visuals my philosophy has allways been say more with less and when you have Lucy ornamention is pointless.
As normal great review Bob. I don’t know what to say about Lucy that I haven’t already said. She just keeps getting better and better. I feel sorry for the people that have passed her by without listening to her sing. This song has to be the best I have heard from her, which is saying something. I just going to say this. I think Lucy is the best vocalist in the world today. Thanks for supporting her.
Bob, I'm glad you jumped on this one. It has only been out a couple of days but the views are already piling up. I totally agree with your assessment of this piece. I vaguely remember the original version so nothing to compare it to. But here, once again Lucy's technique and her voice really stand out. Additionally, as you mentioned, her vibrato is fantastic; able to reduce me to a teary-eyed, chill-ridden heap. Everything about her vibrato is beautiful. She stays centered right on key, no drifting, and she can slip in and then back out of vibrato perfectly; still on key. Finally, we got to see Lucy's nice smile at the end. Oops, almost forgot mention the opening. That pure note with her wonderful vibrato bought a big smile on your face and caused you to backup and play that opening again. Woof!. That's it, I'm out of superlatives. 😂
I went back to listen to the Streisand version and Lucy is so well rounded, I found it even more enchanting. BTW the SMILE at the end is so beautiful. I don't think I've seen a more natural smile. Yes, the note she held at the end was unbelievable.
Bob love your reactions to Lucy Thomas how did you miss her other two new songs "Dear Lord we thank your for this day" and "A Brand New Day" I been waiting for your reactions to these songs but some how you missed them both. I agree with you about that last note. How in the world do you hold a note that long. She is so amazing.
Bob, you mentioned the expression "unique" when referring to the voice of Lucy Thomas. Your reaction to this masterpiece was also informative and "unique". Keep up the good work.
Barbra sang the song perfectly. I have always wondered how Perfect can be topped. I finally figured it out. Let Lucy sing it. Lucy’s voice is actually richer and fuller than Barbra’s. Not as high but definitely better. Imo.👍❤️ Barbra did hang on to that last note pretty long too. Lucy went about 14 seconds.
Hi, thanks for the listen and the feedback. I'm giving the edge to Lucy. It's such a much more fuller sound (although some of that may have to do with the recording back then to now). I just felt more beauty in Lucy's version.
Always enjoy your reactions and commentary. I think it's because we are both older men. Don't know how old you are but, I am 75. We share the same values. Thank You! That being said I have a question or more an observation. When I watched you reaction to Lucy's La Vie En Rose the power cord on your headphones was on your right side and now for Evergreen it's on your left side. What is up with that?
Hi. that one's been up for a while. Trying to find the best way to display cd covers. Have a signed copy of her Beyond cd that I would love to hang up.
Happy hour is here, thanks Bob! Fantastically performed. I'm starting to get why she will perform at London's West End in a new musical - Rosie - written to and for her by her musical adviser since she was 13. It is to premiere in 2024. th-cam.com/video/HtkVh9pkHeQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Bob for reacting so quickly. I listened to the original from Babs… I think Lucy’s version is better! This song is flawless and mesmerizing… her skills are incomparable. Yes, the Queen of Vibrato!! And all songs go right to your soul. But after all, she is the best singer on the planet!! 🤩
Hi Bri. Hope things are great with you. There were so many people talking about this one that I just had to jump on it...and wow, it was amazing. Every song I hear from her, moves her up another notch on my list of favorite artists. So, so good!
@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind Lucy’s voice has always been incredible (only 16 - Hallelujah)… but now at 19, it is even better, and becoming out of this world. I can see why every song moves her up a notch! Thanks Bob, I am doing well. I hope your back is feeling better, and the device is helping out 🙏
Hey Bob, I have been watching you're channel for quite sometime now. This "Evergreen" song, Lucy nail this song all through the end and better than the Original song's. Yes, she is the best vocalist in the world today. I enjoy you're reaction's and comment's about amazing Lucy Thomas.
Hi. First, thanks so much for checking out my videos. I really appreciate that. I'm running out of words to describe Lucy and how amazing her voice is. That last note she hit was just nuts. So incredibly good. She even smiled at the end. She knew she nailed it. Looking forward to my next reaction on her.
@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind You really should react to Brand New Day. Since it is a brand new song, people can’t get tangled up in arguments about whose version is better 😉
Hey Robert. This little TENS unit I'm using has worked remarkably well. I noticed significant relief the very first day. I'll keep that in mind though. Glad you enjoyed the reaction. Appreciate the listen.
Bob, thanks so much for getting back to me. I'm 77, another old white guy! I love your style, your simple but direct and wide ranging approach. No theatrics, no hype, no waving of hands. Your smile says it all. The thing for me with Lucy is that she has a certain transcendent quality to her voice, that lifts me no matter what she sings. You call it "soul" if I remember right. By whatever description, she has that certain core, something that is special. She's my favorite singer. And as for the CBD and the hot stuff that you rub on your low back or elsewhere back, do keep it in mind for down the road. I have so many friends in their 70s who use it. I've used a TENS unit, too, with good results. I resisted the CBD as I wanted nothing to do with marijuana. But the CDB component has almost no THC in it, which is the part of marijuana that leads to the high and hallucinations. Not only does the CBD relieve pain with no side effects, but it also gives an overall feeling of comfort and relaxation that is unique; much better than the various medication drugs I have taken over the years, which always have side effects. So, that's my two cents. Keep up the great work!. You are becoming my favorite reaction person. Hey, we old white guys have to stick together!!!
Just for background, _A Star Is Born_ has been made four times. The original was done in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Frederic March. Then it was remade in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason. After that comes the 1976 version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. Finally there is the 2018 version with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. I find it ironic that this movie was made four times, while I disliked it from the first (the only version I've watched all the way through is the 1937 one). That doesn't mean I don't like any of the music from the movies though.
Well look at me...I didn't know anything! LOL All kidding aside, I appreciate the background. Now that you say that, I think I recall that there was an earlier version...but definitely not two! Interesting.
Hey Kevin. I don't think I've reacted to a Bee Gees song. I know a lot of songs from them, but have never heard of this one. I've bookmarked it. Thanks.
It was thier last single in 2001 from thier last album before the band disbanded after 45 years. Awesome music video too . Charted really well too. Sir Barry gibb releases country solo albums now at almost 80 years old
I’ve all ways loved Barbara Streisand. But Leah Michelle also can put tunes together like her. Some of this young generation has very great taste in music
I love your review but disagree with your conclusion just a smidge. Politically, Ms. Streisand and I are on different continents, but she definitely has vocal chops. I would call it a tie between the two, with Barbra just taking the nod because she created the template. By the by, I think that Paul 'Williams also wrote the Kermit song "Rainbow Connection" from the muppet movie.
Nice note for note imitation of Barbra. Takes more than looks. She's beautiful, but where is the actual "raw" talent. She should try to sing something original. She sounds like Debby Boone singing Barbra Streisand.
The magic of auto-tune and computer enhancement engineering in this rendition is good as a karaoke song but is definitely no comparison to the great Barbra Streisand! Sorry

Wish I'd seen this silly comment when you wrote it. Dude, your lack of class seems to be matched only by your ignorance of auto-tune and how it works. On the upside, you seem to have mastered the tossing about of uneducated opinions. Well done there. This would be one of those times your mom tried to tell you about, when if you don't have something nice to say, maybe say nothing at all.
Hi Bob- I agree re the song itself. Yes Streisand is a great singer but this song never had much affect on me … until NOW. OMG, WOW WOW WOW, Lucy sings this song as a beautiful LOVE song as a story to us n it really sells how beautiful she’s made this song. It’s now one of my all time favourite songs.

what a great song,,,,,sung by a fantastic singer.
YES IT WAS BETTER!!!!!!!
MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE LUCY…..♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
BRAVO .... WELL SAID...... AND YES ....... SHE IS THE BEST ....... ANNNND NOT TO BAD TO LOOK AT TOO
I get blown away every single time I hear one of her song. Simply amazing!
Não sei onde está a mais linda beleza: na música ou na Lucy!?
She's definitely pretty inside and out. Thanks for the listen.
Angel Inteligence !
8:23 - I love the LucyYodel on "time"
Breathtakingly brilliant ❤
...that and more!
Lucy is the best female vocalist I've ever heard!
I love music and this is the best I have ever heard, amazing!!
Genialne wykonanie - najlepsze w historii.
Bob, I heard Bab's version today and I agree, Lucy's version is the best.
A really good account from genuine observations. I think you're said it better than other reactors. 👍
I don't think it can b sung any better!💜
It's the best yet awesome Lucy Thomas ❤
Bob, just admit it: you have experienced the 'Lucy effect'! Yes, her vocals are from another plane of existence; I feel she steps into our dimension to grace us with perfection: vocals and the emotion & passion she performs with EVERY time! Best solo performer I have ever heard or seen, hands down!
Lucy - Just So Excelt
Great reaction to the best voice in the business. Her videos are one of a kind. She just can’t be beat . Beautiful.
Couldn't agree more!
Every song I hear from her is just so wonderful. Excited to hear her next song. Thanks for the listen.
I just wish I could see her perform live. The songs that she has performed from the upcoming musical “Rosie” are also amazing. The musical is supposed to come out on 2024 but I don’t know if she will really do that lead role. I think it would be impossible to do that role and have concerts also. If she does that role in “Rosie “ and I could get tickets I would travel anywhere to see it.
Waowwww !!! ..... Perfecto !!! 👍👍
Pitch control okey
Intonation okey
Power okey....
Everithing is okey ! .....
And I like it
Good Better Best !
Say it as loud as you like, Lucy is the best at every cover and of course will always be the best at her originals
LOL. Ok, I'll remember that! Thanks for the listen. I really appreciate it.
Lucy Thomas is truly an angel on earth!!
Wow!! another masterpiece by the most amazing vocalist in at least a generation! I honestly believe a song could never be written that this girl couldn't turn to pure gold!!! Thank You Bob for another great reaction video!!
Thanks. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen to my reaction. That means a lot to me, especially since there's probably thousands of reactors out there. She is just so incredibly good. Already looking forward to the next song from her.
She is the female version of Josh Groban. I would love to hear them do a duet.
Her version is the very best, lovely and lively performance,
Younger and sweetier rendition, a very dynamic enterpretation.
Adding to that, it's the worldwide popularity of the song Evergreen .. it is also a very competitive song, it's a "(fight song) in every singing contest in the Philippines, me and my elder brother was toppled by this song interpreted by a Filipina during our tender years of singing competition.
Lucy Thomas is an excellent artist ❤👍🎵🎶😊😯💖
One word....Masterpeice.not just better than the original but much better as Lucy's tone suits the song better.
Heavenly voice awesome
She has been with her teacher since age seven
Great review. And I agree … this is the best version, in my opinion. Not taking anything away from another singer of note. 😊
Thanks so much! I appreciate the listen...and your agreement. :)

Hi Bob great great reaction to the fantastic Lucy .Glad you broke your routine to play this .Hope you continue with our beautiful Lucy.🤩🤩
I think If you haven´t already listen to her "A Brand New Day2 (Original) another great one of Lucy´s is "Somewhere " from West side story.
Bob, Lucy can still turn on the water works for me. Her voice comes across (at least to me) as very emotional here. I can barely watch it without almost losing my composure. Another reactor mentioned that Lucy's vibrato is master class. He said if you want a vibrato lesson listen to this video on her channel and learn from er vibrato. I agree with him and you.

Hi. Did they use the word masterclass? Smart minds must think alike. Ha. I do love Lucy's vibrato. Use uses it perfectly and only when needed.
Seventeen seconds on the last note❤😊😊😊
Thats the magic of Lucy!,just supple changes to the origional that makes every song her own,in my view the best out there!,a beautiful soul!.💖✨️🥰
Bob, just a quick thought -- I see Lucy is still up there on the wall over your left shoulder. Great !!
Yes you dare! Thanks for another great reaction to the worlds best vocalist.

I wish I had more words to explain how good this was.
Hi ya Bob - once again you have really nailed your reaction to Lucy's latest performance. As already mentioned, Lucy is the best vocalist in the world today.

She stays centered right on key, no drifting, and she can slip in and then back out of vibrato perfectly; still on key. Finally, we got to see Lucy's nice smile at the end. Oops, almost forgot mention the opening. That pure note with her wonderful vibrato bought a big smile on your face and caused you to backup and play that opening again. Woof!. That's it, I'm out of superlatives. 😂
Beyond perfection..no words to describe the beauty of her voice.Great readtion as always Bob. Hope the back gets better.
I went back to listen to the Streisand version and Lucy is so well rounded, I found it even more enchanting.
BTW the SMILE at the end is so beautiful. I don't think I've seen a more natural smile.
Yes, the note she held at the end was unbelievable.
After I went back and rewatched the video, she held on to that note even longer than I originally thought. Amazing and beautiful singer.
@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind I think it was 17 seconds.
thanks for this prudent opinion because we are facing a new age artist, there is something in her all the time but the Angel speaks in her
Lucy is a vocalist and a song stylist that will always put her own spin on any cover she sings.
Everything she sings is better than the original.
Hi. Well, I can't really disagree with you on that one!
Bob love your reactions to Lucy Thomas how did you miss her other two new songs "Dear Lord we thank your for this day" and "A Brand New Day" I been waiting for your reactions to these songs but some how you missed them both. I agree with you about that last note. How in the world do you hold a note that long. She is so amazing.
Bob, you mentioned the expression "unique" when referring to the voice of Lucy Thomas.
Your reaction to this masterpiece was also informative and "unique". Keep up the good work.
Barbra sang the song perfectly. I have always wondered how Perfect can be topped. I finally figured it out. Let Lucy sing it. Lucy’s voice is actually richer and fuller than Barbra’s. Not as high but definitely better. Imo.👍❤️
Barbra did hang on to that last note pretty long too. Lucy went about 14 seconds.
Hi, thanks for the listen and the feedback. I'm giving the edge to Lucy. It's such a much more fuller sound (although some of that may have to do with the recording back then to now). I just felt more beauty in Lucy's version.
Always enjoy your reactions and commentary. I think it's because we are both older men. Don't know how old you are but, I am 75. We share the same values. Thank You! That being said I have a question or more an observation. When I watched you reaction to Lucy's La Vie En Rose the power cord on your headphones was on your right side and now for Evergreen it's on your left side. What is up with that?
I noticed a new album (disc) on your background wall,,,LUCY THOMAS. Am I right?
Hi. that one's been up for a while. Trying to find the best way to display cd covers. Have a signed copy of her Beyond cd that I would love to hang up.
Happy hour is here, thanks Bob! Fantastically performed. I'm starting to get why she will perform at London's West End in a new musical - Rosie - written to and for her by her musical adviser since she was 13. It is to premiere in 2024. th-cam.com/video/HtkVh9pkHeQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Bob for reacting so quickly. I listened to the original from Babs… I think Lucy’s version is better! This song is flawless and mesmerizing… her skills are incomparable. Yes, the Queen of Vibrato!! And all songs go right to your soul. But after all, she is the best singer on the planet!! 🤩
Hi Bri. Hope things are great with you. There were so many people talking about this one that I just had to jump on it...and wow, it was amazing. Every song I hear from her, moves her up another notch on my list of favorite artists. So, so good!
@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind Lucy’s voice has always been incredible (only 16 - Hallelujah)… but now at 19, it is even better, and becoming out of this world. I can see why every song moves her up a notch! Thanks Bob, I am doing well. I hope your back is feeling better, and the device is helping out 🙏
Hey Bob, I have been watching you're channel for quite sometime now. This "Evergreen" song, Lucy nail this song all through the end and better than the Original song's. Yes, she is the best vocalist in the world today. I enjoy you're reaction's and comment's about amazing Lucy Thomas.
Hi. First, thanks so much for checking out my videos. I really appreciate that. I'm running out of words to describe Lucy and how amazing her voice is. That last note she hit was just nuts. So incredibly good. She even smiled at the end. She knew she nailed it. Looking forward to my next reaction on her.
@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind You really should react to Brand New Day. Since it is a brand new song, people can’t get tangled up in arguments about whose version is better 😉
@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind She hold it for 17 seconds and the voice is still vocals strenght control there.
@@estanislaolabuguen9084 Amazing!
I think where Lucy really scores over Barbra is singing with less of that Hollywood saccharine.
YES! Why didn't I think of that. LOL I may have to edit my video now....hahaha
Per usual Bob, I loved your reaction! Well done. Keep it up! Hey, Get some CBD with hot stuff to put on your low back. I find it very helpful.
Hey Robert. This little TENS unit I'm using has worked remarkably well. I noticed significant relief the very first day. I'll keep that in mind though. Glad you enjoyed the reaction. Appreciate the listen.
Bob, thanks so much for getting back to me. I'm 77, another old white guy! I love your style, your simple but direct and wide ranging approach. No theatrics, no hype, no waving of hands. Your smile says it all. The thing for me with Lucy is that she has a certain transcendent quality to her voice, that lifts me no matter what she sings. You call it "soul" if I remember right. By whatever description, she has that certain core, something that is special. She's my favorite singer. And as for the CBD and the hot stuff that you rub on your low back or elsewhere back, do keep it in mind for down the road. I have so many friends in their 70s who use it. I've used a TENS unit, too, with good results. I resisted the CBD as I wanted nothing to do with marijuana. But the CDB component has almost no THC in it, which is the part of marijuana that leads to the high and hallucinations. Not only does the CBD relieve pain with no side effects, but it also gives an overall feeling of comfort and relaxation that is unique; much better than the various medication drugs I have taken over the years, which always have side effects. So, that's my two cents. Keep up the great work!. You are becoming my favorite reaction person. Hey, we old white guys have to stick together!!!
Just for background, _A Star Is Born_ has been made four times. The original was done in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Frederic March. Then it was remade in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason. After that comes the 1976 version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. Finally there is the 2018 version with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. I find it ironic that this movie was made four times, while I disliked it from the first (the only version I've watched all the way through is the 1937 one). That doesn't mean I don't like any of the music from the movies though.
Well look at me...I didn't know anything! LOL All kidding aside, I appreciate the background. Now that you say that, I think I recall that there was an earlier version...but definitely not two! Interesting.
Never a fan of Streisand, Evergreen sure i heard it before but if Lucy sings something ill always listen and enjoy it much more than the original.
I definitely agree with all that!
Reaja a Gabriel Henrique
Hurt/ Cristina Aguilera.
Lucy is a bit special...this was breathtaking
She is a great singer however, Barbara still is tops in most any thing she sings.
Great version, but.... the Lara Fabian version is still my favorite back in 2000 or 2002 with the Boston orchestra
I wasn't aware she covered this. Will definitely check it out. Thanks.

This is where I came in by the Bee gees, plz
Hey Kevin. I don't think I've reacted to a Bee Gees song. I know a lot of songs from them, but have never heard of this one. I've bookmarked it. Thanks.
It was thier last single in 2001 from thier last album before the band disbanded after 45 years. Awesome music video too . Charted really well too. Sir Barry gibb releases country solo albums now at almost 80 years old
I’ve all ways loved Barbara Streisand. But Leah Michelle also can put tunes together like her. Some of this young generation has very great taste in music
I love your review but disagree with your conclusion just a smidge. Politically, Ms. Streisand and I are on different continents, but she definitely has vocal chops. I would call it a tie between the two, with Barbra just taking the nod because she created the template. By the by, I think that Paul 'Williams also wrote the Kermit song "Rainbow Connection" from the muppet movie.
Nice note for note imitation of Barbra. Takes more than looks. She's beautiful, but where is the actual "raw" talent. She should try to sing something original. She sounds like Debby Boone singing Barbra Streisand.
The magic of auto-tune and computer enhancement engineering in this rendition is good as a karaoke song but is definitely no comparison to the great Barbra Streisand! Sorry
Wish I'd seen this silly comment when you wrote it. Dude, your lack of class seems to be matched only by your ignorance of auto-tune and how it works. On the upside, you seem to have mastered the tossing about of uneducated opinions. Well done there. This would be one of those times your mom tried to tell you about, when if you don't have something nice to say, maybe say nothing at all.
