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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
She's not in the same league with all the "want-a-be's." Lillie is a seasoned performer/singer eons beyond her amateurish competition. I'm sure someone out there with heavy scratch will certainly give Lillie a contract. You don't need luck Lillie, you're blessed.
I even do not like this kind of music but it is incredible that this fifty some years old woman comes and sings better than whatever stars nowadayas from the TV... and she is so beautiful !!!
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
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!
THIS is the Lillie McCloud that sang Alabaster Box in her audition. Not the uncomfortable one we've seen the last two weeks. This is out of this world.
Scoobybyeday I follow covers of this song like ... everywhere and adore anyone who covers it. this was pretty darn good but I feel like she ... didn’t knock it out of the park
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 😊❤
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.
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!!
I agree and even though it's over I still think she had the best voice but the tiny boppers were voting more than the adults. Everyone was good and they all had their chance to shine - so no one is really left out - they were showcased - they just have to do like Jennifer Hudson and work it.
Daryel Taliaferro The problem is joining this show bind them for at least one year before she is allow to release her own album. The winner has the first right to release first. By then many would have forgotten about her and move on to the next installment of the reality show. Granted that this show was cancelled perhaps is the silver lining for her.
She just put her own little twist on it and I love it I wonder why no one voted for her to stay cause I bet she would had won the XFactor but now the X Factor is canceled and no more great singers great I half to watch American Idiol but she killed this song ....
@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.
She is amazing and should not be compared to Whitney Houston. They are very different musicians. I happen to find her renditions much more soulful and real. When she sings you believe that she has lived the song. I can't believe America didn't vote for such a talented woman. Shame. I love to see her videos. I also purchased all the songs but, I really enjoy watching her perform them.
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.
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.
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 ♡♡♡♡
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.
That moment when the competitor is so much better than the judges..
+Noratrium truestory xD :v
Sobre todo que Paulina Rubio, es pura producción nada más.
Noratrium absolutely right
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.
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.
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
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 looks like a black barbie doll.
She's gotta be in her 50's right she looks older
+Joe Smith hating cuz your skin looks like raw chicken have a seat
+Kedra Johnson dwrlllll... ikrrrrr
oh no (:
OMG! She is so beautiful!
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. 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.
she is amazing, the tone and quality of her voice is sensational

Regina Knox, you could not say it better!!
it really is the truth. romance is over smdh...
I totally agree
Anit it the truth. Wow this sisters voice is powerful.
Average vocal.notes were no really on point.womans work is very hard to hit the notes correctly.its a huge song
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!
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.
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 ❤
WOW THIS WOMAN MAKES EVERY SONG HER OWNS.
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.
Her voice is liquid gold.
yes it is.
THIS IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS MADE ME CRY SINGING THIS SONG............................AND I BALLED MY ASS OFF
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.

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
Bring this lady over to the UK she will be sensational. Great artist, Brilliant.

Betty Campbell she even made my hamster damp... and I don't even have one!
I've clearly arrived late at the table....but, OMG i adore this woman!!
The power she has and the restraint she exorcises is masterful.
She blows me away every time I hear her. Amazing!
Anybody still watching this in 2016 lol. She reminds me of Tina Turner. Beautiful, soulful voice

She's not in the same league with all the "want-a-be's." Lillie is a seasoned performer/singer eons beyond her amateurish competition. I'm sure someone out there with heavy scratch will certainly give Lillie a contract. You don't need luck Lillie, you're blessed.
thank you Lillie for singing my favorite song so beautifully
love the original and LOVE the way she made it her own, gave it power using her voice, 10/010

Wonderfully soulful development of this powerful Kate Bush song.
Scoobybyeday I follow covers of this song like ... everywhere and adore anyone who covers it. this was pretty darn good but I feel like she ... didn’t knock it out of the park
@@jameszangrilli4125Because you can?
@@jameszangrilli4125 The problem is she sings it with too much balls. It didn't have Kate's vulnerability, fragility and sense of hopelessness.
She looks like a darker Whitney Houston . rest her soul ..
I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME WHO THOUGHT THAT SHE LOOKS LIKE WHITNEY HOUSTON BUT DARKER :D
nothing like her at all lol
I agree she does too.
C'est vrai elle ressemble à Whitney
Still amazing to hear her beautiful voice ....🥰❤️🌟
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 😊❤
America what wrong with you? How could you send this amazing women home? She and only she should have won this entire show.
She has so much style. LAWD
This lady looks like Whitney and sounds a bit like Tina with her own style added in. Wowwwww this made me cry! I love U Lillie. :') U should have won.
She's Amazing! THE VOICE!
TRULY A GODDESS SENT FROM HEAVEN ABOVE...PEACE AND PRAISE 👏 🙌 🙏 ❤️
holly christ, she is good.
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).
+MrMarkpark I agree, she is fantastic
I agree
Incredible talent
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.
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!
she is amazing!! she's like a cross between Whitney Houston & Chaka Khan! LOVE her!
Shitballs, that amazing voice!

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!!
Yes 🙌🏾 ❤
You can't touch Lilly, she killed it! Beautiful 360.
What's with all the bad comments? She's apparently has the best voice in the competition. Even better than Demi's and Kelly's!
SHE IS THE BEST I VOTE FOR HER EVERY WEEK!!! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
I agree and even though it's over I still think she had the best voice but the tiny boppers were voting more than the adults. Everyone was good and they all had their chance to shine - so no one is really left out - they were showcased - they just have to do like Jennifer Hudson and work it.

Thank you Bambinoitalian - I appreciate the information - it gives me a better understanding of how these shows run.
You silly fool. This isn't a singing competition. It's a popularity contest.
Her voice is impeccably beautiful and precious ❤🌟❤️
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.
Please explain why this girl CD is not mainstream. I mean seriouslly.
Cool Cars 19528 what CD I want it
Mannnn I cried listening to this! Absolutely beautiful! !
I am an ardent Kate Bush fan.....I never thought I'd hear a version of her classic song sung with such deep emotion, utterly brilliant!
0oon. ..
She just put her own little twist on it and I love it I wonder why no one voted for her to stay cause I bet she would had won the XFactor but now the X Factor is canceled and no more great singers great I half to watch American Idiol but she killed this song ....
MOST BEAUTIFUL 50 SUMTHIN YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH THE GRACE OF WHITNEY ANDIN THAT DRESS SHE REMINDS ME OF HER IN THE BRANDY'S CINDERELLA MOVIE
Exquisitely beautiful, the epitome of femininity, incredible voice, utterly stunning.❤
@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.
She is one of the best that has been on this show! Just amazing :)
Stunning in every way..
Brings me to tears hearing this. Amazing. Wishing for more.
ohhhhh please america!!!! this lady sing so much!!!!! the divas, the REALLY DIVAS has gone? this lady walk in this way...beautiful. everytime.
Quality of this years X-Factor seems to be high.... but She has to win! :)
Music industry needs Her as replacement of W. Houston.
She is amazing and should not be compared to Whitney Houston. They are very different musicians. I happen to find her renditions much more soulful and real. When she sings you believe that she has lived the song. I can't believe America didn't vote for such a talented woman. Shame.
I love to see her videos. I also purchased all the songs but, I really enjoy watching her perform them.
Here in June 2020. This lady has such a gift. What a voice!
incomparable talent...she is exceptionnal singer !!
you blessed my heart with your gifted voice. shame on xfactor.
2022 here I am still listening to lillie absolutely amazing talent

Already a Superstar... Just graceful and beautiful.
And if I ever get married!! I want her to sing at my wedding!
Lillie you are amazing....you touched my soul with your soul.x
I can just listen to her sing all f'n day people this a woman that god gave this voice to share to us thank you god

How can such a person fail to win, extremely talented and unique. What a shame to make her fail to win what was clearly what she more than deserved
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.
