She was once a back up singer for some big name artists in the past, but was never in the spotlight. Because of that, she was getting bad press for supposedly being a "professional" competing in an amateur show, which surely cost her thousands of viewer's votes.
Sameeee, that rendition of Alabaster Box will never leave my mind. I think I might've been like 13 or 14? 10ish years later and I still listen to it often, hasn't lost a bit of its sparkle, she's unforgettable
I and many others said she's like Whitney Houston, someone else compared her to Gladys Knight but listening to her again, her vocal style's more similar to Dionne Warwick
Lyrics by Hal David! He did many with Burt Bacharach, ‘Alfie ‘ for example, Wooow what a beautiful Evans’s performance! What a Hal’s lyrics!!! A chair is still a chair Even when there's no one sitting there But a chair is not a house And a house is not a home When there's no one there to hold you tight And no one there you can kiss good night A room is still a room Even when there's nothing there but gloom But a room is not a house And a house is not a home When the two of us are far apart And one of us has a broken heart Now and then I call your name And suddenly your face appears But it's just a crazy game When it ends it ends in tears Darling, have a heart Don't let one mistake keep us apart I'm not meant to live alone Turn this house into a home When I climb the stair and turn the key Oh, please be there still in love with me
I'm going to speak the obvious....why why why the white guy!!!!...my brothers we are slipping...in her 50s looking like erika badu in her 30s...good job my dude....respect...not one bit of hate on him...
@@RichardMcWolff Demi Lovato said " I feel like I was listening to whitney". Gladys has one of the best tones... her tone is soulful even when she speaks.... you can feel her pain in her tone. Whitney and Lillie have a sharper tone.
Have to disagree. While Jermaine gave a powerful and clean performance, it resonated as just that...a performance.Lillie's version seems more genuine, passionate and a true expression of her feelings

2024 and yes I'm STILL listening.. Single best performance of any talent show ever... This woman is anointed ❤
Yes sis
You can tell when someone really loves to sing and this lady's voice deserves an audience
she needs to record this song. i would buy it a thousand times. She lived those words just now. My favorite performance of all time.
"she lived those words just now" - I couldn't have said it any better
Yea she really did :)
Contestants look like ` it's all over, time to go home`…… Absolutely killed it.
We need performers like her. The one's we've got have sold their souls.
Exactly
It's the best version I've heard of this song
Better than Luther Vandross?
Nothing beats the original live version.
@@rorus9530no, I don’t think do. Although I love Lily.
This is hands down my absolute favorite version of this song
Definitely ❤
Have you watched Luther Vandross perform this live???
Tamyra Gray
4 years later and I still dont know how she didnt win
Or why she isn't a mega star! What happened to her?
Unfortunately black women never win any shows
It's because she wouldn't sell her soul
I don’t believe it either. I was very disappointed, she was the top one that season!
She was once a back up singer for some big name artists in the past, but was never in the spotlight. Because of that, she was getting bad press for supposedly being a "professional" competing in an amateur show, which surely cost her thousands of viewer's votes.
Every year I come back to listen to her
I love the way she sings the song I wish they had it on iTunes.
2019 - this rendition still tugs at my heartstrings. She should be blowing the charts.
Ten years on and her rendition of this song and her soul-beauty still moves me - Brava
Lillie's voice always cheers me up when I'm feeling down. She's awesome!
YOu see that smile she did at the end?! She know she's got it!! LORD - making me cry every time! Amazing, amazing.
Every song she sings just tears me up!! So beautiful!!
What the hell is wrong with you people. She should have one. The world said she is a superstar and will always be a superstar. She was born that way.
She's touched my soul!
That is a song only an absolute pro can perform let a lone sing. God she is amazing!
Fabulous talent and beauty. Why don’t I hear about you Lilly?
Wow, sometimes God has another plan but you're right, she got my vote👌
9 years later and I still don’t know how she didn’t win
that ia a "wow"moment ..excellent
I watched this a 1000 times, and will watch it again and again ❤❤❤❤
Can’t believe it’s been 11 years ♥️
the diva!
damn i can never forget watching her audition for the first time many years ago, truly one of a kind talent
Sameeee, that rendition of Alabaster Box will never leave my mind. I think I might've been like 13 or 14? 10ish years later and I still listen to it often, hasn't lost a bit of its sparkle, she's unforgettable

I and many others said she's like Whitney Houston, someone else compared her to Gladys Knight but listening to her again, her vocal style's more similar to Dionne Warwick
Any way you spin it, still fantastic
Definitely Dionne with hints of Gladys in there ! Xx
Omg she made me cry
Amazing why she didn't win or runner up !!
Why I stopped watching those type of shows..but hey I am no expert....lol
Wow. She is absolutely beautiful.
Gosto muito do jeito que ela canta
Cativante
Lilie, you are fantastic. Sorry my comments, but I love your voice. Thank you
Se ela era favorita,porque então foi desclassificada?Lillie sem duvida nenhuma é a melhor neste x factor....LILLIE I LOVE YOUUUUUU!!!!!!
Here in 2020 🙏🙏
What a voice ❤
Lyrics by Hal David!
He did many with Burt Bacharach, ‘Alfie ‘ for example,
Wooow what a beautiful Evans’s performance!
What a Hal’s lyrics!!!
A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss good night
A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart
Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends it ends in tears
Darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stair and turn the key
Oh, please be there still in love with me
Still the best
Excellence
Una voce e un'interpretazione che tocca nel profondo.
Non ha soltanto una bella voce...è davvero intensa.
I am so surprised that she did not win as she deserved too imo.A voice to remember
Just love it. ❤️
Baby, Baby, Baby. Huuuu...... Das ist Soul mein Lieben. Was für eine Stimme wow. YT MUSIC PLAY LISTE TUNAY ZONE 🌖🌕🌔
8 years later, I do not know why she did not Win
Because of her age, black woman (there is a thing out there to make everything black and white) and she's not a Satanist .
Amazing ❤❤
Why didn't she do a cover for this song? I need it in my life like now. Like the day she got up there and sung this song.
Simon is in love ❤️
Beautiful lady
I wish it was longer…
She cannot hold a note for long, she did good.
2nd favorite from her
i will love to meet her
For God showed her. Now she have more important things to do. God is God. Love U God
Suuuiiuuuuuuuppppeeer

Still watching this buuutiful lady who is America's equivalent to Britain's Shirley Bassey
I’m so in ah
She’s a beautiful singer but nothing can top Alabaster Box
She's so awesome. I wish she was a big name. Why are people like katy perry so cool when they can't sing hardly as well at all
She favors, Teresa Graves and Whitney Houston. Voice similar to Whitney.
bit shouty at the beginning, the second half is more soulful.
shouldn't have leaved the fucking x factor.
Whitney houston
I'm going to speak the obvious....why why why the white guy!!!!...my brothers we are slipping...in her 50s looking like erika badu in her 30s...good job my dude....respect...not one bit of hate on him...
What?, Lilly Mcloud didn't win? I am done with X factor.
The closest sound to whitney’s and richer!
Actually more like Gladys Knight
@@RichardMcWolff Demi Lovato said " I feel like I was listening to whitney". Gladys has one of the best tones... her tone is soulful even when she speaks.... you can feel her pain in her tone. Whitney and Lillie have a sharper tone.
Oh no, those lashes. 🤢 Her beauty tech did her dirty with those.
She's got good vocals, though.
Let's see what you look like.
Little too much.
Rebeca Ferguson
Good effort but not as good as jermaine's ( the voice uk )
you must be deaf
Whatever
@@SawaYeah 😂 agreed
Have to disagree. While Jermaine gave a powerful and clean performance, it resonated as just that...a performance.Lillie's version seems more genuine, passionate and a true expression of her feelings
Not really feeling her tone or technique on this song.
Simply perfect
