The woman doesn't just sing songs, she sings EMOTIONS. I could feel her voice running through every fiber of my body. My heart aches when I hear her sing. I now know what it means to be human. She completes me. Uhhhh, my goodness - she's amazing.
@gaz1ne Not everybody can do that singing other peoples' songs. The British musician who wrote this (Kate Bush) composed most of her first two 1978 albums before she was 15 years old. Owned complete copyright at 16. Formed her own production company at 19 and currently owns her own label (Fish People). You have to take control of your own career.
if i m an american i will be very proud to have such a talented singer in my country. what an angelic voice she has. the of all it sounded like studio recorded yet its live performance. i really hope may she have the highest vote.not many woman in this world can be like her at this age. may god bless her.
I've never purchased music from ITunes from any of these shows...but I bought all that was available from her! She is the most amazing singer i've ever seen go thru one of these competition shows. Waiting for an album.
She is...I met her back in May when she was performing at Ft. LAUDERDALE'S Beach Party street festival. She is just as wonderful as she was on X-Factor...super nice and beautiful.
Louis Cullen ...I have to respectfully disagree. Lillie McCloud once went under the name Nicole. Instead of trying to explain it I urge you to Google her album, Nicole "What About Me". Especially check out the cut Always and Forever. You'll see for yourself. Yes Whitney was talented but Nicole aka Lillie takes it to a whole different level. On that album you'll also hear her performing with Timmy Thomas. A old school R&B Legend.
This woman has the most amazing voice ever.. I frigging love her! Definitely Whitney and MJ come to mind. She's the next best thing i n the music industry 100% Remeber the name Lillie McCloud peope
Lilly should have won this, but because the world isn't interested in songs from the heart and soul anymore she couldn't win. People like pop music, just like sex, hit it and quit it. there's no more romancing, walking down the street holding hands looking at the stars. being chase by a man,. getting a love letter that took a man almost three days to write, because he's looking for the perfect words for the perfect person. those are the days of old. this world, now, is instant coffee, instant tea and totally instant disbelief. think about it how many R&B Singers are left???? zip!
From an old codger,She makes the judges look as if they are just starting out and she is there to show all on the panel how it's done. And she did just that.
Lillie's version of this woman's work somehow brought me back to reality. I was unhappy the past few days because of something that happened between my sister and I. So after listening to Lillie, she reminded me to wipe those tears and live a happy life
This is what you call the real thing this women call move the soul with her voice just so soothing and powerful and her control is amazing she just proved she can sing anything you know she is going to have a wonderful career wow God is good
If this wasn’t someone exalting themselves I don’t know what is. Her presence was that of a divine goddess and an angelic talent an example to us all!! This was her song this was music 😊❤
It is not enough to just sing. Lillie put emotion in the songs. That makes you feel old feeling, heart break and you then close you eyes and just listen. It brought tears to my eye. I hate the singers who are all over the stage. I just want to enjoy the music
even watching her in YT enough to rise all my body hair! could imagined how if i see her in concert. please Goood!!! if you exist! this women should have a gold or platinum record!
I dedicate this song to all the ones i have loved in my life time....To Leo ,,our time was to short lived..for all the things we should have said we would do...for all the things i said you now know i meant...love you forever and a day.....
That R&B sound is the plasma that flows thru her veins. She's mastered this style, technique and approach to singing and performing. Her presentation, and the cadences and phrasings she uses in her interpretations are what "dates" her performance. But she executes so well the vocals and performances of black females, i.e., Dionne Warwick, that Miss Lillie's presence and what she does cannot and should not be ignored or denied. She 's a 60's-80's lady. She represents this this period well for the R&B world and the world of variety shows during this period.
im so hurt... feel like crying............she was the winner, she deserved it .She ddnt pop up till now to remind us of great people,Whitney, Cece ohh my God be with her whereever she is right now. i love your voice Lillie
One of the best current voices I've heard after that of Withney Houston (of course) but you have to wonder what the hell the record companies are doing. Lillie you are the best ... don't let down ..
@alexandreduriez376 Good singers are a dime a dozen. Good singer/songwriters are much more scarce. The woman who wrote this was signed and composed most of her first two albums when she was 16 years old. Plus given full artistic control over her work and full copyright. She had leverage. Karaoke specialists don't.
@@WarrenBridges-um5cg It is true that humans are dependent on their environment and habits. Whether it is for the food (the restaurants frequented), the level of reflection (family, friends, the inhabited neighborhoods, or even the education provided in the country.. and also of the finesse of his emotions. (A wild animal knows little of the delicacy of Love.) It is true that there are few excellent composers... And yet it could be relived and so wonderfully....
@@alexandreduriez376 Yes it could be relived. No doubt. But only by a comparatively lucky few and some of those are terribly exploited. Just as some songwriter/singers can be without the right legal representation. It's a dirty business.
@@WarrenBridges-um5cg yes it's a world where a lot of scoundrels and sharks evolve and it's a shame .. Because they generate a lot of damage. dirt ,dirt ,dirt ,dirt ...dirt like said Rihanna
Lillie's voice is up their with any of America's finest soul singers going back to Aretha,simply astonishing how good she is and yet here I sit ten years later and I didn't know she existed and that my friends is criminal.
@fionaclarkClark Sings it with too much balls. Sounds like she's singing the national anthem. The original written by Kate Bush epitomizes femininity, fragility, vulnerability and a sense of desperation and hopelessness the song demands.
God gave her beautiful voice to use sing praises for God!! When I heard her sing Alabaster Box I was in tears when she finished. God this woman and lead her in the right direction to sing for the Lord Jesus Christ!!
If there is something wrong with that I didn't see it. I kind of feel bad that a woman of her age and talent has to perform in front of Demi Lavato to gain recognition and then listen to her unqualified critique (although always good).
She was great!! They were trying to make her someone she wasn’t. They didn’t try to change the rocker guy. I digress. She would have been phenomenal in The Voice.

She is so beyond this show!
+ROXXY721 Exactly! I think that with each song I hear her sing... She is too good for this show!
Shes a Queen absolute ♡♡♡♡
yes she overwhelms my heart with too much Love ..
@@mvrdveenhuizen9693 Good voice, but "the queen" wrote it.

have a listen too the original by kate bush now theres a singer the fabolous kate
Exactly
Good stuff tammy
^ yup very good stuff. ;)
alxander
This woman sounds like she should have been the special guest singer rather than a contestant. Love her voice...........
somebody give this women a album deal. we need more her in the music business
Demi Lovato finds her outdated LOL
Judexxxxxjjjjj as if demi lovato on top of her game her self
Demi Lovawho?
Deron Williams Maybe she should have approached the songwriter Kate Bush from Britain. She owns Fish People records.
Wow! She is just phenomenal. Why is this woman not a major recording artist?
@gaz1ne Not everybody can do that singing other peoples' songs. The British musician who wrote this (Kate Bush) composed most of her first two 1978 albums before she was 15 years old.

WOW THIS WOMAN MAKES EVERY SONG HER OWNS.

OMG! She is so beautiful!
She's probably one of the top 3 best in the any xfactor season ever. An amazing voice period especially considering she's over 50 years old.
she is amazing, the tone and quality of her voice is sensational
She made me cry maan .. she so so good
me too
me too!
I do agree! She is an incredible performer and I think she should be on Sunday Best!
Betty Campbell she even made my hamster damp... and I don't even have one!
Bring this lady over to the UK she will be sensational. Great artist, Brilliant.
I've never purchased music from ITunes from any of these shows...but I bought all that was available from her! She is the most amazing singer i've ever seen go thru one of these competition shows. Waiting for an album.
i hear ya, she is golden
She is...I met her back in May when she was performing at Ft. LAUDERDALE'S Beach Party street festival. She is just as wonderful as she was on X-Factor...super nice and beautiful.
paul thomas martin You are so lucky, I dream to just hug her for a second she is Goddess
TRULY A GODDESS SENT FROM HEAVEN ABOVE...PEACE AND PRAISE 👏 🙌 🙏 ❤️
She blows me away every time I hear her. Amazing!
Absolutely Stunning
She already
has won with herself and that's all we ever need in this world today😇
Her voice is liquid gold.
yes it is.
I think Whitney found a way to live on. She took over this woman's body!!
I think she did to
+Louis Cullen apparently she was whitney's competition decades ago, but she didn't make it.
Louis Cullen i agree!

I’ll disagree as well, she’s been doing her thing with music just as long as the late Whitney! Give them their both respective titles ❤
The power she has and the restraint she exorcises is masterful.
This woman has the most amazing voice ever.. I frigging love her! Definitely Whitney and MJ come to mind. She's the next best thing i n the music industry 100% Remeber the name Lillie McCloud peope
nice bro
She's stunning mind, aint she?

Average vocal.notes were no really on point.womans work is very hard to hit the notes correctly.its a huge song
wow, breath taking, the make up, the voice , the tone , wow lilly i d buy yo CD
From an old codger,She makes the judges look as if they are just starting out and she is there to show all on the panel how it's done. And she did just that.
Wow.. She is so amazing..I have just heard of her 2023..jus watched her now..competing..She out sings everyone here.Amazing!!

Spent my life in and out of recording sessions and this is one of the most beautiful performances I've ever heard in my entire life.

She is so pretty along with her god given voice.
An amazing talent. I always came back here. Since not from this time and not from the time she participated there. Unique
she's such a lady, and We love her voice. a gift straight from GOD!!!!
Lillie, I'm a camerounian living in France and I love You. I loved your single Don't you want my love and really hope you will be signed in a label!
If this wasn’t someone exalting themselves I don’t know what is. Her presence was that of a divine goddess and an angelic talent an example to us all!! This was her song this was music 😊❤
Her time has come, a long time ago, incredible range and feeling in promoting a song a pleasure to hear!

I Love you Lillie, pure love in your voice.
she's so good, she shouldn't have been eliminated!
absolutely the best cover version of this song ....this woman does a great work!!!! wonderful voice
I agree but still a mere shadow of the original
@@karenhendry7686 Pretty tough to beat Kate Bush on one of her own songs. Doesn't matter which song it is.
Quelle voix mangnifique Lili
Anybody still watching this in 2016 lol. She reminds me of Tina Turner. Beautiful, soulful voice

Still listening to this perfection cover of this beautiful song!!
