She really performs this like a monologue that just happens to be put to music. Completely character driven. Bloody flawless.

The fact she'd literally just finished a show like 2 mins before and can still do this. Im done

Was in the audience this night, and I’m telling you this video will never do it justice. I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t in tears. Utterly flawless.

The moment she lost to Jedward on Xfactor was my villain origin story

The fact she can sing like this while still keeping up the accent blows me away

She has one of the best accents. It’s really hard to train yourself to sing with a southern accent. I’m FROM the south and I have to think about it. Welsh to American then add southern. THAT really is talent. And those growls! 👏

The fact that she had to wipe her eyes at the end because she started crying. Class act. Unworldly vocals. Get it girl.

The fact that she sang this at Caroline Flacks funeral is even more poignant and beautiful xx

That mixed voice in the belting is so fucking perfect. Jesus christ, just closing my eyes and listening to her transition from chest to mixed to head is so beautiful

I remember Simon Cowell saying one of her performances on X Factor was boring and she sang it like an actress, take this Simon -lol

Went to see waitress this afternoon in Manchester. I’ve been in a very cruel and abusive marriage for the last few years and finally had the courage to say I’ve had enough. Been so isolated but I so wanted to get back out and enjoy life on my own again despite feeling broken beyond belief. Had no idea the storyline for this musical but felt like I was watching my own life and for the first time in years I felt compassion for myself. What a beautiful voice Lucie has.

When I saw her in London, I could swear the people in the rows gave her a standing ovation, I couldn’t tell because I am poor and was sitting in the upper dress circle

Jesus Christ I thought this was impressive already and then she started belting for like 20 straight seconds wth this is phenomenal

Caroline flacks mother has just said Lucie sang this at Caroline's funeral. What a beautiful song 💜 rest now 🌠

There is no one who can sing and act this like Lucie Jones! Noooo onneeee

Bet Jedward couldn’t do that Simon

Her riffs are just the best things ever

Holy CRAP. She's Phenomenal.

Can we please stop comparing all the Jennas and whatever roles? Each and everyone brings something special to the role and they're all doing their best.

The ‘fight just a little’ gets me every time

i cant believe this is my first time hearing lucie's jenna i've been positively deprived

Definition of having a voice “as clear as a bell”

This needs wayyyyy more views. This is absolutely incredible. Her control and power on the belting “she used to be mine” parts towards the end are perfect. And the part in the bridge where she growls “FIGHT” is so goooood

It's absurd her tone, control, she literally plays with the song, so round all the edges amazing just can't put in words

I’m in tears, why? Cause I have a teenage daughter who lost the confidence in herself after a break up and we sat listening to her. All women are warriors xx

her mixing is absolutely beautiful and her run on ‘lonely’ is crystal clear🥺 how i’m only just hearing this now is beyond me but this is the fifth time i’m listening to this today! i honestly can’t get enough of how pure her voice is!

Musically I've always preferred Sara's orginal.... on stage Lucie is the one I personally liked best so far because she didn't overdo it and got the message perfectly and emotionally across... excellent!

How can a single person be SO talented? It blows my mind.

Cant imagine how emotionally charged her performance would have been at poor Caroline's funeral... the words are very poignant & fitting for the wonderful person that she was😢

“she is messy but she’s kind, she is lonely most of the time, she is all of these mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie. she is gone but she used to be mine” 🥺makes me tear up every time without failure x

Wow, wow, wow, just wow. The way she breathes, the way she fought back the tears and still delivered some perfect vocals, the way she felt what she sang. I honestly just came here 'cause I love Sara and the song but I never expected to scream to the screen of my laptop at 3 AM "ARE YOU FOR REAAAALLL?" Please make her more famous than she already is. Absolutely killer performance. Kudos to you, girl!

I went to see Waitress in Sheffield today and to hear Lucie sing this live was incredible- a moment I won’t ever forget.

The way she chose to sing “start over” more softly is so beautiful 2:18

I can not believe this is Lucie Jones. I’m so glad she got to continue with her singing she was amazing on X Factor at such a young age and now. She has just proven she’s gone from strength to strength. Absolutely mesmerising!

This was truly an incredible performance in that she felt so incredibly comfortable to really take her time with this song and let her moments be moments and not run through it but really feel it that you simply can't evoke through professional recordings.

This is one of the most beautiful versions ive seen of this song. You can hear the emotions in her voice.

After months of watching the Shoshana and the Jeremy Jordan versions, I got to see Lucie perform this on London during the summer. I sobbed my eyes out 😂 She’s such a good singer!

“Re write and ending or two” and “fight just a little” get me every time

The best version of she used to be mine ever.

So glad the official version of this is here now. Seen a few audience recorded versions but nothing better than the real deal. Unbeatable talent :)

Flawless. Just... flawless. Technique, emotion, light and shade, character. She delivers it all. Perfection.

This is my favourite performance of this song

this is 100% tmi, but listening to this while I'm fighting off my bulimia hits me so hard. Thank you!

This performance is worth at least x10 the views

I can't even sing in my normal voice, but this girl can sing in a different accent?!? Wow!

The best Jenna ever and the best voice ever. So much talent!

Her speech mixing is absolutely unbelievable...seamless!

she’s SO incredible

I watched Waitress last night at The Opera House in Manchester. Lucie Jones is a fantastic performer as were the whole production. Matt Willis deserves a mention aswell. Lucie has that magic that all stars have.

i stg she is the most perfect human being on the planet. i have been watching this on repeat for two hours and my friends are probably fed up of the videos of me crying at this point... lmaooo it's just sO GOOD

There’s something about the way she performs this that just hits deep. It’s so understated and so genuine

This is the millionth time that I've listened to this song and this is the first time that I've cried listening to this song.

Saw her live in London and she brought the house down. Amazing. Never witnessed such a unanimous standing ovation. Truly incredible, her and the whole cast. The show was sadly overshadowed by Hamilton at the awards. Post lockdown go. So good.

how does this not have millions of views? Lucie is an incredible performer!

By far the best version of this song absolutely flawless well done lucie jones

This might be sung better in other KZfaq vids, but none of them make you feel like this. Amazing

She made so many beautiful musical choices! She made that song her own, which is a feat.

Just watched this at Manchester lucie jones was as good as it gets in musical theatre this song had me in tears thank you so much

I cry at this every time. Lucie’s rendition of this song touches me emotionally, so vulnerable and beautiful.

Her attire is perfect. That hair! Gorgeous! Voice? Amazingly smooth. Hotel? Trivago

It’s so beautiful when she keeps it quiet and reflective at the end. Just gorgeous - you could hear a pin drop in the audience!!

This has got to be one of the best performances of this song I have ever heard. I've heard the song so many times but my whole body ended up covered in goosebumps. Absolutely incredible!!

Did I just witness a miracle..? Wow...!

Just saw her two days ago and before now I was certain she was American. She was truly brilliant! She threw in so many riffs.

Voice clearer than crystal! This performance was incredible

I literally remember her singing i will always love you 😭😭😭 SHE HAS GROWN BRUH

Superb Lucie ... Can't wait to see you as Elphaba in Feb

Any UK viewers remember her from XFactor? She lost the singoff to JEDWARD!! I knew we’d see something of her in the future 🤩

She's so raw and real as Jenna

Love the struggle in her voice

Tears…tears…I’M IN TEARS! Damn! That was beautiful!

UNBELIEVABLE! Rating this performance on a 'Zero to Ten' , THIS is about a '15' !!!!6

One of the best vocal story telling ever. And I have seen many musicals in different languages. Lucy just made something perfect. Thanks. Listening it over and over again.

This is the best performance of this song I have ever seen. WOW.

Tickets booked for the Manchester show this month, I cannot wait

THIS is what musical comedy is intended to be. Powerful voice absolutely conected with the pathos of the song. Gorgeous.

There is nothing to describe how amazing this is in real life. So talented.

I was at the show when they did this recording, it was absolutely breathtaking and it still gives me chills when I listen to it, this song means so much to me ❤️

A mixing champion.

Wow! holding those 2 notes at 3:30 for 10 secs! flawless and so powerful but full of emotion...just WOW!

Could listen to her forever. Will Never be a Whitney ? Simon mate listen, "Whitney would never have been a Lucie Jones"

She does so much more than sing this song. Bravo Bravo Bravo

Only just found this singer. Lucie you are a class act!

OH MY GOD!!!!! I was there!!!! This was amazing!!!!!!! That was my actual birthday and the best birthday present I could've asked for!!!!! I cry both times she did this!!!!! Incredible!!!! And Sara's lyrics are spot on, they give you chills!!!! The best!!!!! Everything!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

2 words - world class

The most perfect Jenna - Lucie is the true meaning of the word star!! In love with this so much!

This is my fav performance of she used to be mine, Lucie is magic, The look in their eyes evoques a lot of feelings. I can't describe in words what she provokes in me when I hear her in "For a chance to start over and rewrite an ending or two", "Who'll be reckless, just enough", "To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in her eyes" and "That's been gone, but used to be mine". Anyway the whole song is perfect .. Greetings from her fans from Mexico

I just love how every jenna makes its own signature style or interpretation.. they were all great...

SHES THE BEST AND THATS THE TEA

i saw lucie as jenna yesterday and sobbed my whole way through this song. goosebumps.

DID THE SONG WITH SUCH FEELNGS THAT IT SEEMS SHE OWNS IT. LOVELY.

I saw Waitress in Sunderland last night with Lucie Jones and her performance of this song blew me away. The emotion she delivers behind her powerful voice is incredible but she also brings a vulnerability to it too. Beyond talented!

that was OUTSTANDING

I’ve seen lucie sing this in the musical and I can say her voice was absolutely amazing🥺

Anyone else returning to this video in 2020 whenever they need a good cry? 👋

How is it that every time I hear this song I'm like "dont cry this time" and it gets to that belting note and I'm 😭 "she is lonely most of the time" I'm literally always crying by the end of this powerful number 😭❤

Stunning. Voice control from soft to whitney is so on it x

Lucie is such a queen omg literally obsessed with her

I love the look of pleasure she gets from the audience reaction, she appears truly humble. As for me; I have an enormous crush on this young lady; her vocals are without a doubt amongst the best in the World. I can't get enough of her awesome voice.

This is Brilliant, She is briliant! The whole cast were brilliant!.. Searched for this after we came back from London - so Glad we found it. I've heard a lot of people sing this but she had me in tears. We were sat in a box so we had an amazing view. How this girl lost X Factor to Jedward i will never know!... Absolutely stunning version Lucie, Well done! A well deserved standing ovation.
