Lily actually looks like a DOLL! A living doll...what a beautiful Black woman..her style / brand..sophistacation & AND THE SINGING😅😅😂 I can visualize a 'Lily doll' as a cherished gift in 'any' household. 🎉💥💫💯
I remember this lady, Top 10 in looks, hair, figure, sound. I immediately could hear her doing the theme to James Bond or something as epic. Class Act.
Lillie McCloud’s voice and stage presence is amazing, she’s ready for a recording contract and IS a star. I knew she would get voted out as soon as she challenged the judges criticism/feedback. Certain judges do not want the singers to voice their views. She’s going for greater things! ❤
.....she serves STEPHANIE MILLS REALNESS....however the judges were right....she leans into BROADWAY/ CABERET REALNESS.....however she...TRULY....is a STAR....she was getting so POLISHED in her performances and looks....i wish she would have gone further ....it was a PLEASURE experiencing her on every level....KELLY was RIGHT....PEOPLE NEED TO SEE HER...
America really got it wrong this time sending this woman out of the competition. How I wish she did some Whitney Houston's songs. She would have done them incredibly well. Congratulations to her!
It's like Tina Turner and late career Whitney lent their voices and presence to the performance. absolutely wonderful...moved me. Thank you Lillie McCloud.
Her performance was absolutely stellar! Her image, vocal control, range, riffs, delivery, and tone was simply the best and that is what I sincerely wish for her- " the very best!" Always keep 'Him' first and don't get lost or distracted in all the noise and he'll take care of the rest.
When she said she always used to do things but just never got lucky,i just started crying...because im a mother of 3 and also a singer but i haven't found that luck. Something about Lilie's voice just gets me sobbing like a baby😢
This lady must win this contest. She made alive again the talents nonpareil of the greats like Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight and Dionne Warwick.
She appeared on the show in 2013. She made it to the final 8 but was eliminated. She recorded 4 albums before appearing on the show and 1 album since then.
She spoke up to Simon, she is special, a true raw talent like when Jennifer Hudson did not win American Idol, did it stop her? No ❤ Lillie will be as large as Jennifer Hudson, I feel it inside, and she is 54, ageism is sad but real. Noone has the courage to stand up against ageism, go Lillie, we know she will rise very very high, I see her on stages like Diana Ross .... musicals and Grammys 🏆 to come!!❤
Lillie was the best singer I've ever heard!! She made me feel every song that she sang!!! Especially the song WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER!!! I LOVE U LILLIE
She is making me think of an older version of Whitney Houston, one that we would have loved to see be ! Thank you Lillie to bring and give so much of passion into your singing where any song sounds like a message !
Lily is from my hometown but I’m down here in Georgia now but that woman has a voice of an angel she reminds me a little bit of Whitney and a little bit of Diana Ross she is amazing
What an incredible voice! I have goosebumps in all her performances. She could have been one of the best divas ever when she was younger but that was her own destiny to raise a beautiful family. She's still blessed because at 54 years old she was able to showcase her talent by joining the X-Factor. For me, she's the winner of the X Factor and truly one of the best among those who joined this contest.😍😍😍
She's actually recorded 5 albums including 3 of them prior to appearing on the show. She also made it to the Billboard charts back in the day. Probably left the business because her career wasn't taking off the way she wanted. Something that often happens to a lot of really talented people given how competitive the music business is.
@@scribe712Nice comment 👌. Sums up this life. That the race is not won by the fastest ,nor battles won by the strongest. Neither are the most hardworking or smartest the wealthiest, but Gods mercy and time and chance that makes the difference .
Lilly McCloud is truly a Beautiful Extrodenary woman of all time. You have so much more greatness to give. God Bless you Lilly, we are Blessed to see so much of your greatness. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I completely agree and Demi Lovato is completely off for this comment @19:17 This song and rendition are perfection and the crowds reaction alone is proof of that. I love the way Simon played along for a second and then was like nah never mind it was amazing 😂 Demi must’ve felt embarrassed. As Paula has said Lillie is a goddess.
Demi Lavato, if you opened your eyes and ears, you would see Lilly is an ARTIST, the real deal.. I think your comments to her were off. That voice and emotion comes from deep in her soul and delivers something bigger then a derivative pop girl like yourself. Be more humble when you are in the presence of greatness (just sayin)
At this day, 10 years later, I still can't believe how she couldn't achieve more into the industry... It feels like someone in a high level didn't want her to succeed, because she has everything, EVERYTHING to succeed. I come quite often to look for her performances to watch them again. An absolute class act. All the love and blessings for her ❤🍾🥂🙏🌠
Because she spoke her mind to Simon, that happened to her. Those people don't like it when black women in particular stand there ground. She wasn't rude but stern ❤❤❤❤
Funny thingbis l agreed with Simon. When she sang “when a man loves a woman she overdid it with her spin on it” Just sing so we can hear your lovely voice.
Hi good day beautiful good beautiful thank you claro analizando la voz de lily tiene buena voz veo ??? percusiono el sonido y voz thank you att " the charly" = liche"???
Lillie McCloud was already a professional singer before she auditioned for X-Factor in 2013. She recorded four albums prior to appearing on the show and one album since then. Some of her songs even made it to the Billboard music charts. She told an interviewer the producers asked her to hide her previous music background by using a different name when she auditioned. So for those who are amazed by how professional and incredible she is, it's because she had prior experience in the music industry.
I loved this woman from the start when she was performing on X Factor. Amazing voice. Trying to recall if I ever heard a voice like that I remembered "What about Me" by Nicole, which I loved on first hearing. I bought it on 12" vinyl. So I can now say I have loved this woman's voice since 1985.
Dear Lillie McCloud, I wish you a Happy Birthdate, 7 December. In this stage, you were 54 of ages, but you looks Super Young,and you have a Superb Voice. (Today you are 65 y.o.) Best regards from Indonesia of the South East Asia.
It is 2024, and my 1st time seeing Ms. McCloud. Why did she need to shake all over the place,,do unnecessary runs and rolls? Her presentations were exquisite - gifted and elegant performances. I'm late but i pray God will favor her inspite of these criticisms.
Amazing voice and presence and look. Wish they had got her to sing something a bit more diverse though. Something more upbeat and modern. She obviously could do the big ballads.
Lillie, you don't have to be a Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston for your range to be perfect to sound good. You're fifty-four, and you've made it thus far. Trust me, it's not over for you. You still have so much singing to do around the world. Blessed be, and keep singing.
Her voice is amazing anointed! God given. I noticed that one lady, not the Hispanic or Kelly. The other one would just not give her alot of credit. She seemed jealous. She should have won. Her voice is very rare and beautiful. Simon didn't help matters at all. This lady's voice is the greatest I've heard in a long while
Honestly, as amazing as her vocals were, she needed to sing at least one song that this generation was totally into. She could have done at least one upbeat song as well. Loved, loved, loved her...beautiful 👊🏽🔥👊🏽🔥👊🏽🔥‼️

At fifty-four no one should spin you like a jig. Kelly was the only reason LILLY made it that far. She is going to be alright.
Yes, it's the same thing I said. I peeped Simon's smile he looked satisfied that she was leaving.
She is a great singer,somebody is going to give her a contract
Oh my, God given talent, she's exceptional. ❤
10000000
Hands down, she should have won the whole competition .
Amen 🙏🏼
DAMN STRAIGHT !! GOLDEN TICKET ! HOPE KELLY or Simon took her on !
I absolutely agree 100%. She was the best singer in the entire competition.
Agree
Sing girl when you can do it! ❤.
This woman made me cry when singing „When a man loves a woman“. She nailed it! And she sang from all her experience. THiS is music. ❤ thank you. ❤
She has an old school voice with the liking of the great divas from the good old days. Good for her. 🎉❤
I agree ❤

残れなかったのは残念ですが
この番組の中だけでもステージでこんなに輝けたのは良かった おめでとうと言いたい😂🎉 だってこれは多くの人にとって叶わない夢だよ 羨ましいほど素敵です。もしかしたら30代の時のだったらもっと声が出てたかも知れないとも思ってしまうけど 間違いなく今しか出来ない表現もあると思う。この方はこのタイミングで輝いてみんなの心に残る人なんだろうな。本当にすごく誰もが認めるようなスーパースターになれる人はやっぱり特別に神様からお役目を与えられてそうなっているのかな、と思いました。
America really got it wrong this time sending this woman out of the competition. How I wish she did some Whitney Houston's songs. She would have done them incredibly well. Congratulations to her!
Yep like "they" got JHud wrong.

Always keep 'Him' first and don't get lost or distracted in all the noise and he'll take care of the rest.
I would love to see her do Whitney Houston's repertoire. It would be sooooo good.
When I saw her... I taught the same thing too
She did a few years ago
She took my breath away!! She was stunning in every way.
ショートで歌が好みすぎて全部聴きたくなってとんできたけど、最高すぎる！
When she said she always used to do things but just never got lucky,i just started crying...because im a mother of 3 and also a singer but i haven't found that luck. Something about Lilie's voice just gets me sobbing like a baby😢
Star power, Lillie shines like a diamond. Her music you can feel with every. Bless You Lillie!
Lillie is truly a wonderfully gifted Singer. I hope to hear more from her in the future. A class act with a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performance at all times.

Why was she Eliminated she sang as good as Anyone I. Have seen does not make any sense some body needs to explain it to me❤

And Stephanie Mills and Niecy!! Singers that make me well up. Brilliant !!
THE SHOW IS FIXED!!
They did not want a beautiful , classy ,Black woman to win with one of the best voices since Whitney Houston!!
You’ve said it all
It definitely has many thoughts. But kn6ow the lord knows better
Since when? Unless this is from the 20-teens.
When she spoke up to Simon you knew she was going to be axed
She spoke up to Simon, she is special, a true raw talent like when Jennifer Hudson did not win American Idol, did it stop her? No ❤ Lillie will be as large as Jennifer Hudson, I feel it inside, and she is 54, ageism is sad but real. Noone has the courage to stand up against ageism, go Lillie, we know she will rise very very high, I see her on stages like Diana Ross .... musicals and Grammys 🏆 to come!!❤
Her original name was Nicole McCloud and she did a big track in the 80s New York Eyes
Lillie is and always be a SUPERSTAR who has elegance, class, beauty, talent and outshined the best of the rest.
God bless her❤❤❤
Beautiful woman! beautiful voice.age is just a number.we will be hearing and seeing more of her.

Lillie should have won just like Tom Ball earlier this year on BGT and AGT. She has a fantastiv voice.
Gifted and gracious. All in his time. True beauty!
