    Chris, this song performed by Lucy is a double winner. It was written by Chris Broom who is the owner of Cavendish Records and the composer of the musical Rosie. Chris wrote this song for Lucy and entered it into the UK songwriting competition for 2024. It won the best song in the Love Song category. Later it was designated the Overall Winner of the whole competition. Chris Broom released this statement "I'm delighted to share the wonderful news that the British Songwriting Awards have just announced that my song "Don't Walk Away", sung by the amazing Lucy Thomas, has been chosen as the Overall Winner of the UK Songwriting Contest 2024. I'm incredibly honoured that it was chosen from a total entry of over 5,000 songs!" Now if Chris had submitted an autotuned or pitch corrected sample of Lucy singing this song to the contest to be judged, it is doubtful that it would have been awarded the overall winner of the contest. There is nothing that can be said or done to change the mind of those that are determined to believe that Lucy is autotuned or pitch corrected. By the way, there is no doubt in my mind that Lucy Thomas is the best female vocalist that I have ever heard. Thank you for your continued love and support for Lucy's solos and her duets with Martha.

      Thanks Kenneth for the review of the history of this song. I remember one reactor the first time he reacted to Lucy said that she was AI generated. Yes there are times like Larry has said you can hear Lucy taking a breath or her voice crack just ever so slightly. If they were going to fix her voice they would take those anomalies out.

      I agree but other sites with sound engineers show her voice using voice analysis' software and you can see it on the graphs. She is the best I have heard since 1969 with Linda Ronstadt better trained voice certainly and a different style of music but range power breath support and infusing emotions into the song I consider them about the same. And she is better without it those minute variations all voices naturally have are what makes them individual even if you don't consciously hear it.

    Thank you for reacting to Chris Broom’s award winning song ‘Don’t Walk Away’ sung by the phenomenal Lucy Thomas. The song first won the best Love Song and today was named the best new song of 2024. The Rosie Overture won best instrumental in 2024. I have heard Lucy in concert and there are some videos where there was no post processing and she needs no help. She is not only that good, she is the best in recording history. This song is genius as is Lucy’s performance.
    I aver that Lucy will be acclaimed in the future as the greatest singer of all recorded time. She is unbelievably good. No one has ever sung ever song at such a perfect level.

    Interesting reaction Chris. This question of AUTOTUNE and pitch correction, keeps rearing its head. Autotune is used throughout the whole piece where pitch A440 software snaps any sharp or flat notes to the standard line. Pitch Correction is applied by the engineer to any single note manually. Lucy is a classically trained singer and some serious music critics gave her was a 5 star rating for her two and a half hour London concert. I think these guys would instinctively know if Autotune was being utilised. There are going to be some commentators here who were lucky enough to have attended Lucy's concert and will say the whole experience was absolutely magical. I don't think Chtris Broom would even consider tampering with such a wonderful vocal performances.

    I don't think they use autotune much at all now a days although pitch correction is pretty much default throughout the industry Lucy sounds better without it as her live concerts show removing that perfection and allowing a human voice perform unaided sounds individual and old time recordings also show this. Lucy is a generational talent and other singers will soon be covering her songs.

      @randysimon7363 4 години тому

      This endless obsessing about pitch correction is ridiculous. There is vastly more to singing than pitch accuracy and all pitch correction can do is correct pitch. Whether it has been used in any of Lucy[s recordings is unimportant. What makes a singer great is a long list of characteristics including vocal range, tone, timbre, transitions, breath control, enunciation, intonation, dynamics, power, and more. The statement that a singer is “pitch perfect” is a cliche that is pretty much meaningless. Lucy is a great singer because of everything about her vocal talent,

Otherwise it was a great take of a jazz tune. Rather than throwing it out, the few notes were pitch corrected. No big deal. Did pitch correction ruin the song? Hardly. Did it sound totally different? Nope. Could 95 out of 100 listeners even tell the difference from the original? Probably not.

    Hello Larry. Here is my take on the Autotune/pitch correction issue. Please don’t take this personally. I always look forward to your reactions. No one with any real expertise can answer that question unless it is the person that has actually done the work. So I think it would benefit us all to just drop the subject. Unless of course someone wants to say that Lucy really isn’t as beautiful as she seems because she wears a mask that causes her to look better than reality. We could go down that road. It best in my opinion just to drop the subject. Mainly because both of those issues are subjective opinions. Yes this song was submitted with Lucy doing the vocals to the UK writers organization. Here is the Link that the UK songwriters dropped a few days before the official release from Lucy: ua-cam.com/video/uHd_vrOJsNY/v-deo.htmlsi=51fJF0_yGuTdGhVy.
    My understanding is that the song won the best love song category. Then a few days later it won the best overall category.
    Fo me personally Lucy will be considered one of the best vocalist of all time and there are some bad actors out there that don’t like that opinion. So they are trying their best to muddy the waters.
    Stay safe healthy and free. Plus THANK YOU so much for supporting both Lucy and Martha.

    This continued bleating about Autotune, is often aimed at Lucy by some distractors who insist she can't perform to such a phenomenal standard. However it's been known that its been used on other vocalists who have a basic struggle throughout a song to hold a note that would be a nightmare to manually Pitch Correct. Autotune is sometimes used in live performances but it's risky since it has be known to misinterpret when the vocalist misses a note beyond the half sharp or flat and the software corrects it to one complete note above or below, which is a disaster for the performer. Several well known artist have suffered such a problem -- Michael Bublé being one of them, who should have kept well away from such nonsense, as if HE needed any help?!!!
    Lucy recently received a 5 star accolade from a musical critic Jeremy Chapman, when he was present at her Theatre Royal Drury Lane concert in London. Who described Lucy as a once in a lifetime vocalist. Lucy is, after all a classically trained vocalist and I would imagine her vocal coach Carolyn Hudson must be so proud of her. So please Chris, less talk of Autotune with Lucy!!

With her lips coming together a little late, but this is a official music video so she's probably Lip syncing to a pre recorded track which is the industry standard.No doubt she has a great voice and i hope this hasn't been manipulated in any way .

      What is the point of these endless comments about pitch correction, lip synching, and various other audio tricks of the trade? As you say, they are commonplace in the music business. Everybody has access to these tools and uses them to some extent. If used judiciously, they can fix minor flaws in a recording. But they can’t make a mediocre singer sound great. Used improperly, they can make any singer sound like a robot. It is not a badge of honor to produce music videos that don’t try to look and sound as good as possible. With or without studio tools, Lucy sounds better to me than anyone else on the scene. Stop trying to call “foul” and just enjoy the music. Or don’t and listen to whatever singer you prefer.

      Karen had a great voice,but I must agree that Lucy matches her for clarity etc,then adds an extra dimention of power to match anyone else I know!,in other words probably the finest vocalist around!.😊
