And anyway, Lúthien's already beaten Galadriel to the Most-Joy-and-Most-Sorrow thing, and the Only-One-to-Ever-Move-Mandos thing...

Well I'm not talking about that. Remember that even the Elda can surpass the maiars (i.e. Feanor, Fingolfin). And Galadriel was melian's pupil & even before she came to ME, she was already accounted among the greatest in Valinor, even coming close to Feanor's stature.
