She's a woman, full name Laura Pergolizzi (hence the name LP) and she has actually written songs for Cher, Rihanna, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera etc. before having her own breakthrough as a singer.
In 2021, LP shifted to using "they/them" pronouns, stating in an interview "I’m kind of transitioning over to the they/them [pronoun] thing - it's more my kind of vibe", but they seem pretty chill about the whole thing whatever you wanna call them from the little I've seen.
Thanks for clarifying too. They’re so androgynous in how they present I was getting an NB vibe but I kept seeing she/her. I figured the LP was for fluidity too but didn’t want to assume
Yeah, same here. disappointing that with this performance people were still focusing on gender presentation instead of the absolute raw emotion you can feel even through the screen....
People are disgusting, I hated the comments too, they're selfish Vultures!! All people have to do is Google LP's real name which is Laura Pergolizzi, an effing awesome writer! She looks the way she looks, she doesn't "try" to look like a man dude!!!
@@andybricks576 And even if she does try to look "like a man", that's completely up to her and has nothing to do with any of us - and it certainly has no bearing on her work.
Her voice is incredible - a very very long time ago...the late 80s/early 90s, she joined a band I was friends with and she blew everyone away. So happy for her success.
i love LP she is a woman she had breast cancer when younger and she removed her breasts to beat it entirely she didnt want to fight cancer she said ima live my life and breasts wont stop me she gained her fame when her Single Into the Wild was featured as a background song on national television for a credit card commercial it was so breathtaking and stunning that this somewhat unknown artist was searched for to find who this mystery singer who captivated hearts and ears i have followed her career for years since that commercial she also looks alot like my brother which is hilarious but when i just close my eyes and listen, her voice takes me on an adventure and for a little bit i forget about my worries and am left with a pleasant vibe as it were when the song is finished plus the songs are so likable to sing and whistle too funny enough her whistling got me into whistling and i am now pretty dang good
LP is in my top three with Ren and David Bowie.. she grew up only a few mins away from me.. she is a little bad ass but very vulnerable.. she lost her Mom very young who was an opera singer and encouraged her talent.. she has so many great songs and also she plays multiple instruments.. thanks Anthony.. ♥️
She is phenomenal, best in all areas. PLEASE watch all of her pieces, each one is unique. 'Other People' is my favorite, gorgeous melody and visual art is sublime. I've been a music lover for 67 years and she my favorite, I'm obsessed.
Saw LP in concert for the first time last fall. It was an amazing concert. And during the VIP meet and greet she was super genuine including being intuitive on how to interact with a special needs friend. SO genuine and SO talented.
LP is a phenomenal artist! You really need to see her live cover of Halo, it’s just 🔥. She has a great catalogue, and her live performances are always 100 times better than any of the studio versions. I love her song ‘Muddy Waters’.
I just saw LP live in San Diego a few weeks ago and it was one of the greatest performances I’ve EVER seen!!! If you can believe it, she was even better than she was in this video- she put in so much power and energy into every single song and kept it up there the ENTIRE two hours! I think that was the last show of her tour (or maybe just the first leg of it), but if you get the chance, I HIGHLY recommend checking her out and getting tickets to one of her shows. If you want to hear some other songs from her that fuckin slap, check out When We’re High, Muddy Waters, Recovery, and Girls Go Wild.
❤ 💯🔥. I’ve seen countless reactions to this performance. VERY FEW reactors have noted how far away LP is from the mic when she - all casual and cool - smacks everyone in the face with THE note. Makes it all the more jaw dropping.
Yes. Thanks for sending to Black Pegasus! He hasn't done this one. I saw Joe E Sparks do it on one of his first live streams. L.P. has a cover of Beyonces HALO that's absolutely amazing. Great reaction Anthony Ray!!!
I think this is what happens when you have a truly addictive song meeting the pitch perfect performer/singer to interpret it. I don't think there is any person in the whole world who would fit this song this exceptionally well. Literal perfection. And I was obsessed with the song before I had any visual reference of LP so there was no surprise element in my case but I think you might be right that it's a contributing factor for a lot of people. That view count is insane
Bloody love her voice, it’s astounding ❤ Lost on You was also my introduction to her and I was hooked by the first chorus. Try Suspicion and When We’re High. Then LP led me to Elle King who is also worth checking out
The people in the chat fixated on whether the singer is a girl or boy, male or female was weird. Nothing wrong with asking questions, but speculating and saying things like "look at the chest, it's a boy" is a little invasive (and creepy imo). People need to relax and either enjoy the song or move on. On a positive note, I enjoyed the song and your reaction! Muddy Waters was my first introduction to LP. I had not heard this song before.
Yeah, I hear you. This is the internet though, happens all the time. But I get you, I look beyond that because it doesn't matter. The music is what matters.
Glad you checked this out!! Their song "muddy waters" is also unreal. And yea fyi they use 'they/them' pronouns - they used 'she/her' before that though until 2021, so people in the comments here aren't wrong, just dont have the most up to date info :). Didn't love reading the chat of people's comments on this issue though yikes... but LOVE your reaction to this song though and I really appreciate your commentary!
Love this song! It's been a while since I listened to LP... Deep diving her catalogue now, thank you for reminding me how amazing she is! Can I please request a reaction to alabama shakes, Hold on... The official video version 😍 you will LOVE!
Her Live cover of Halo will change your life and has made me a lifelong fan, LP is my favorite artist ever! Her own music is amazing too, all of her songs are addictive and important.
I saw this in 2018 and fell in love with LP! LP ( female) is criminally underrated. Her/ their Mother was an opera singer and heard her daughter singing in the car ( as a child ) and knew that she was going to need some classical training because even then her vibrato was impressive. Written for Rhianna, Cher, Backstreet Boys, Cristina Aguilera, Joe Walsh, Celine Dion, +. Muddy Waters and Strange are also part of this Live from Harvard and Stone. When We’re High , Other People, One Last Time, Halo cover!!!, Dreamer,
This is just FYI. Scott Hoying of Pentatonix, the tall blonde guy and Mario Jose I have a video with a very interesting take on this song. It was probably Scott who's I did this was----- They took the lyrics from this song and sing it To a Hans Zimmer track called time from the movie inception. It doesn't get nearly the attention that deserves.
Glad to see I wasn’t the only one living under a rock! I was caught off guard as well but pleasantly surprised! Check out the OFFICIAL “Halo Beyoncé Cover”…11 years old but you won’t be disappointed🔥
So glad to see you do this one. I remember recommendING it at one point .She has anothrr osong I listen to often I have saved to playlist. Can't believe how long she's been out here and I've only just crossed her music this past year. Vocals blew my mind she's dope to listen to. Love the laid back vibe to this one
I stumbled on this video 4 years ago and was astonished the world had not popularized her. I'm thrilled she's getting her flowers. Angelic sound and vibe. So loved your reaction!
not to be crude but she has been stealing flowers for a long time she has loved women for as long as i can remember back to her college days she had a girlfriend
so, one day, I called my daughter and said...I have a new favorite recording artist...She flipped when I said LP! 50 years Stevie sat on the pedestal, and one song that I heard in the background of a video dropped her into second place!
I loved seeing your shocked reaction. I was the same way when I first heard it. The LP has more amazing songs, I recommend The One That You Love. This is a powerful and powerful song.
🙌👏‼️Couldn't click fast enough to hear you be introduced to LP! My daughter turned me onto her more than a decade ago. She is a fantastic songwriter that was very successful before she turned to performing. Her parents were opera singers and LP has had classical training. She has an amazing body of work to explore but you MUST watch her live cover of Beyoncé's Halo💯. She mostly does her own songs but when she does a cover, she owns it‼️ so glad you sent this to BP too! Keep going🎶✌️ editing to paste link:ua-cam.com/video/L6X0PqIWfzQ/v-deo.htmlsi=t4yjm7zDx4atdKpG
I don't know how I missed you reacting to this but if anyone you should see live before you die this is that ARTIST. LP is phenomenal on every level. So many get hung up on is she male or female, who the hell cares ? Her live version of Halo is my all time fav of hers the fact that she wrote it makes all the difference. There is not one track she has released that is not superb. Ivy Levan another American singer who is not only breathtakingly beautiful but has the voice to back her up. Fouzia another phenomenal singer and still largely not known. So many artists undiscovered now add Ren and Chinchilla to it.
Can you react to Halestorm's cover of Bad Romance? Or any of their songs, that's just what popped into my head. I think you'll love Lzzy's voice. It's super powerful
Very happy that you reacted to the live version, an absolute banger, great to see you appreciate it. Also ty to the suggestion to BP, would love to see his reaction aswell, though i admit i have to search if he did it already first =P

Laura Pergolizzi aka LP is THE Best singer NOW!! Check out her cover of HALO -She OWNS it!!
@@andybricks576 I agree.

@@duggs4456 Thanks for telling me, i didn't know that. I'll make sure to address them by their prefered pronouns from now on :)
Thanks for clarifying too. They’re so androgynous in how they present I was getting an NB vibe but I kept seeing she/her. I figured the LP was for fluidity too but didn’t want to assume
@@duggs4456that's great and all but she's still a woman so she's not wrong.
She is precious, love her))
I love LP's work. I did not love reading many of the comments on the chat. About her looks. Her sex. Dang people.
Oh, try a listen of The HU with LP, called Mother Nature.
Yeah, same here. disappointing that with this performance people were still focusing on gender presentation instead of the absolute raw emotion you can feel even through the screen....
People are disgusting, I hated the comments too, they're selfish Vultures!!

Love a woman who embraces her curly hair. It’s about the singing. Nothing else should matter
LP has a beautiful unique voice, no matter what!
She is really amazing!! The "Halo" versión is astounding!!❤
Yess!! Reaction please!!
I like HER Halo more then Bionce))
Her voice is incredible - a very very long time ago...the late 80s/early 90s, she joined a band I was friends with and she blew everyone away. So happy for her success.
i love LP she is a woman she had breast cancer when younger and she removed her breasts to beat it entirely she didnt want to fight cancer she said ima live my life and breasts wont stop me

I found LP when Muddy Waters was on The Good Doctor. Spent a lot of time listening to every LP song over and over after
LP is in my top three with Ren and David Bowie.. she grew up only a few mins away from me.. she is a little bad ass but very vulnerable.. she lost her Mom very young who was an opera singer and encouraged her talent.. she has so many great songs and also she plays multiple instruments.. thanks Anthony.. ♥️
She’s been my fave for several years now. She always hits a good spot for me.
Then you live pretty close to where i live too. Lol
Seriously reminds me of David Surkamp early Pavlov's Dog. (if ya know ya know)
She is phenomenal, best in all areas. PLEASE watch all of her pieces, each one is unique. 'Other People' is my favorite, gorgeous melody and visual art is sublime. I've been a music lover for 67 years and she my favorite, I'm obsessed.
You're right... LP studied Opera. It's not uncommon when people discover LP and appreciate the voice, they become rabid fans. I am no exception. ❣
She didn't study opera. Her mother was an opera singer and shared her music with LP before she died when she was a young girl. She's just amazing.
Saw LP in concert for the first time last fall. It was an amazing concert. And during the VIP meet and greet she was super genuine including being intuitive on how to interact with a special needs friend. SO genuine and SO talented.
Great reaction. Her another song: Muddy Waters is also astonishing.
Iv followed LP for years. Shes incredible wish I was her friend ❤
LP is a phenomenal artist! You really need to see her live cover of Halo, it’s just 🔥. She has a great catalogue, and her live performances are always 100 times better than any of the studio versions. I love her song ‘Muddy Waters’.
Love her…. “Recovery” is my fave from her…. Unique and super talented lady ❤
I just saw LP live in San Diego a few weeks ago and it was one of the greatest performances I’ve EVER seen!!! If you can believe it, she was even better than she was in this video- she put in so much power and energy into every single song and kept it up there the ENTIRE two hours!

Yes! F..amazing! Unique. One of a kind of talent and genuinity
Yes. Thanks for sending to Black Pegasus! He hasn't done this one. I saw Joe E Sparks do it on one of his first live streams. L.P. has a cover of Beyonces HALO that's absolutely amazing. Great reaction Anthony Ray!!!
Yes! The Halo cover is a must listen.
I love her so much ❤❤❤❤ thank you for your reaction 🤗
Love that eyes are on LP. This is crazy good
Amazing Amazing Amazing

LP is a fantastic artist. Not just a highly skilled vocalist, but, acknowledged industry wide as a seriously great Song-Writer / Composer as well.
LP la mejor, escucharla en vivo es espectacular, adoro su voz❤❤❤❤
Funny to watch him already enjoying her voice in the chorus not knowing what's coming next 😂 LP is magnificent!
LP is a Phenomenal artist - pumped to see you react to this superb performance 👏👏❤️
Bloody love her voice, it’s astounding ❤ Lost on You was also my introduction to her and I was hooked by the first chorus.
Try Suspicion and When We’re High.
Then LP led me to Elle King who is also worth checking out
Esto es un puto TEMAZO¡¡¡¡¡

Thank you for reacting to the amazing LP check out her cover for halo live performance is incredible 😊

LP completa . A voz 🗣️
I love her song Tokyo Sunrise, too.
Check all the songs she's written for the supposed famous and amazing artists out there..... Lucky enough to have seen her live here in Cali....
I stumbled on this video 4 years ago and was astonished the world had not popularized her. I'm thrilled she's getting her flowers. Angelic sound and vibe. So loved your reaction!
not to be crude but she has been stealing flowers for a long time she has loved women for as long as i can remember back to her college days she had a girlfriend
LP is amazing, loved their collab on Line It Up with Palaye Royale.
Perfect reaction to a perfect performance!
Amazing voice
Loved your reaction-confusion and all-and PB’s reaction is priceless, too!
❤❤❤
Love this song
Thx for your reaction ❤🇬🇧
💛💛💛

I just love seeing people fall for LP and her incredible talent. Check out her HALO!!
Her voice is so amazing 💜💜💜 hope you react to more of her music …. Tokyo Sunrise my favorite
so, one day, I called my daughter and said...I have a new favorite recording artist...She flipped when I said LP! 50 years Stevie sat on the pedestal, and one song that I heard in the background of a video dropped her into second place!
I love LP, you should definitely react to "The one that you love", the clip! :)
😅I love your reaction 👏

❤
I’d love to see a collab with LP and Ren
Great reaction bro! I reacted on a LIVE stream to this one too....absolutely perfection this performance is!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
LP's voice is otherwordly. You should listen to their cover of Beyonce's Halo, it is so good.
Can you react to Halestorm's cover of Bad Romance? Or any of their songs, that's just what popped into my head. I think you'll love Lzzy's voice. It's super powerful
LP is spectacular! My mom was actually the person who introduced me to her a few years ago
Pretty please go down this Rabbit hole with her she’s on a different level
Very happy that you reacted to the live version, an absolute banger, great to see you appreciate it.
