I've never seen someone more connect with an audience with that kind of conviction and warmth. Performed not just sung. What a gift on top of the worked-for obvious skill. She's special.

"She was born to do this" ...EXACTLY that!

There are times when the stars aline and magic happens. This is one of those moments!

I will tell you Sam, that I have seen Many, Many, singing auditions on talent shows (I'm 81 so I've been around), and this is one of my all time favorites. This young woman checks All the boxes. She is affable, vulnerable, lovely, incredibly funny, and an extraordinary talent. I agree with Amanda; that's my all time favorite version of this classic song. And it appears Simon feels the same. And it's not even a song he likes. I'm pulling for her to win. But I'm also hoping people in charge at the West End saw this, and give her the break she deserves. She's got the voice and the audience (voting) behind her, so it comes down to choosing the best songs. I'm hoping she sings "She Used to Be Mine" at some stage of the competition. She already looks like the Waitress in the show. Best wishes, Sam.

@@lorenamunoz3200 Hi Loren. Since you took the time to look up my favorite West End song (She Used to Be Mine), here's my favorite performance of that Incredible song by Lucie Jones: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dH-Fk6epkr3AhMo.htmlsi=lQs6r2D7LeUSZM5e I just melt every time I hear her sing this. On a side note, as an 18 year old teen, Lucie was also on BGT about 15 years ago. And like Sydnie, she longed to be on the West End. Fastfoward 15 years and she is a massive Star there. Wishing the same for Sydnie.

@@kayhaydon3022 When Sydnie was interviewed after her semi-final performance of "My Way", she said she was so nervous she was unsure if she would be able to perform. And then she just hit a massive homerun. She is the best singer I have seen in all my years of watching shows like this. I've watched this audition and "My Way" dozens of times, and I'm still blown away each time. The problem with shows like this is that sentimentality often overrides talent when people vote. She doesn't have to win this for her career to take off. I wish her great success and happiness. Let's Have It!!

probably the best version of this song I've ever heard.... fantastic job.

She was amazing and totally smashed it. I am behind her all the way for the WIN ! She is super talented and such a good soul. Let’s Av It!

She is a future super star real soon, she is the complete package hands down!!

She did a spectacular job. Definitely made it her own, and put her heart into it.

"Let's have it" will echo for a while now... Great singer.

It's Christmas Time!!!! Bravo!!

Wet eyes. She really "Got" that song, she showed the real meaning of it. A real gift.

@@leticiacruz1754 That is the correct word to denote a female person. He or It would just not be appropriate.

And with that, a star emerged. A+ personality and world-class talent.

From what I understand Sydnie had been taking courses in pursit of becoming a personal trainer. It was time to put her dreams behind her and get on with life. BGT was going to be the end or hopefully the extension of her dream. This is why you see such pure joy in her face when Amanda pushes on that "Golden Buzzer". Unadulterated, pure joy is hard to come by on these days. That's why I find myself watching this 3-5 times a day just to see the shock on her face, then that broad ear to ear smile when she realizes her dream isn't coming to an end. It's not over, the audience loves her. I cannot even fathom how that must have felt. How often do we get to see complete and utter joy on someone's face?

100% agree with you. At the end - when she said "I felt heard" it meant so much and touched me as well. She is so amazing - I have watched all 3 of her performances over and over and never get tired of them. She is a world class singer and I can't wait to see her star shine bright.

All you can say is WoW! No words needed, except AWESOME.

Shes about to go viral .my winner 👏 shes got some pipes😮

Ladies and Gentlemen Sydnie Christmas ❤️👏👏👏👏❤️

Right from the get go I loved her. She's so cute, and fun, and funny, and filled with sparkling personality. I'm a total Sydney fanboy. ❤❤❤❤ I swear, I would fly to the UK just to see her on the West End.

Sydnie's personality and talent are pure magical! She took this song and made it hers. She owns it! Magic!!! 👍🤗💓

It was just sensational, she sang it so beautifully I really hope that her reams aren;t shortlived

I Love her she is great

IMO, the sky is the limit for Sydnie Christmas. Her voice is perfect for the West End, we will see her on stage there, no question. One of the best vocals I have ever heard.

Absolutely agree. It's hard to believe that's she's not aready staring in "Waitress" or some other major hit. She's Fabulous!!

Hoping that this young woman makes it in 'The West End' of London and fulfills her dream for success. Being able to turn Simon around a full 180 degrees is a remarkable feat for sure.

That was one of the all time performances...beautiful

I adore her! Beautiful soul of a person

To make tomorrow an adult song. Get it girl!

If you haven't seen them yet, she has two more performances on BGT...the semi finals and the final show. You will be blown away!!

First, I have heard tons of vocal coaches critique and talk about new singers. They continually interrupt the performance to give their 2 cents. I love how you did this! And, I loved your emotion. Well done

I loved watching your review of this music! This is absolutely my favorite singer from any series. I hope she gets the exposure she wants and all her dreams come true!!

Just goes to show there are gems still out there and Sydney is a beautiful gem to behold! Beautiful personality, beautiful looks and an absolutely beautiful voice!

You give the best reactions. I've watched Sydney's performances dozens of times and still weep.

Everyone saying it’s a fix as she has already worked on the west end as a cast member in Starlight Express. Unfortunately that didn’t last because of Covid so has to start all over again, other wise she wouldn’t have to work as front desk at a gym if she could get jobs in same profession. Now she will be recognised again. Well done. If you have a voice like others do it’s still a level playing field.

We all grabbed a ray of sunshine watching that performance!

So interesting that they played Over The Rainbow, sung by Loren Allred, who also got a Golden Buzzer from Amanda on BGT 2022. But this girl is pretty much a complete unknown, whereas Loren was known as the voice behind Never Enough to some people.

My two favorite female singers are Linda Ronstadt and Karen Carpenter. But Karen was never comfortable on stage. Sydnie is a natural actor, and belongs on the West End. She could also be a standup comedian if she wanted to pursue that. She is just an incredible talent, and I find it hard to believe that some producer hasn't recognized that.

❤

I know she's very good because I can't count the countless times you said "Wow." That's really Wow!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Anyone can be a cast member ..That do make you the feature performer of the show. Just part of the chorus . 😮😅😊

To add to her amazing run on BGT she still doesn't believe in herself which should put the singing world on thier toes.

At the end of the performance as she scanned the audience, Sydnie was hoping that she did okay. It wasn't until the golden buzzer was pressed when she dropped to her knees and realized that she did better than okay. She NAILED it!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Check out her mannerisms and body language, especially after the buzzer with the fist pump and kick, her stature, body language and mannerisms remind me of Suzy Quatro, who saw me thru puberty in the’70s.. all she needs is a black and yellow bell bottom jump suit to be the next “female Elvis” 🤣😜and the surprised look to the left at the audience after the first Diminished “tomorrow “ as if to say, “What happened to my voice… are You Surprised too?” And then a slight build and the whisper finish.. Total Manipulation! That’s what an audience Pays For. Makes me wish I was 45 years younger.🤣🤩

KZread SUCKS! How come others don’t get blocked on the same video? Because KZread SUCKS! That’s why It’s not fixed, but she IS highly trained. Still she did it on her own

She has it all😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Her semi-final was spectacular. Her final performance was other-worldly! I can't wait for your reactions to both of these. And, by the way, she won Season 24.

Love this adult version of this song

She is like a female Jeff Buckley. I'd really like her to cover some of his songs like Grace or Hallelujah.

I just love your personality ! Your husband is very fortunant man !

In an interview Sydnie gave credit to Marisha Wallace who sang that version previously: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h391r9Nqlbi-hJM.html

Simon's reaction just like Susan Boyle's audition 😊😊

I’d believe COVID took her prime 23-27year stage away! She’s so lucky she’s still 28 and can still have a singing career to a settle down generation. It’s good to because in her 23-27year days, she would have to be in hip-hop or just pop songs. I heard some of her pop and it didn’t suit her well. It didn’t magnify her vocal range! She needs to be in Big Orchestra Theaters singing masterfully!

Imagine thinking of doing the first song you learned to sing because you liked that song ONLY to find out the 'chief judge' [Simon Cowell...and you know just how critical Simon can be] hates your song. If you watch the interaction between Cowell [his looking at Sydnie over his glasses with that Simon scowl] and Sydnie at the beginning of the song and THEN to win Simon over takes TALENT! Sydnie has AMAZING vocal skills, the likes of which puts Sydnie up there with the well known deva's! Sydnie sings a story, a rarity. And you're right Samantha about being heard, but Sydnie 'compelled' being heard by singing that songs story. Enjoyed the video - thanks for sharing. Cheers...

Hi Samantha, hope you are well. I saw this video when it first came out and I was stunned. Most beautiful version of the song I've ever heard. For another reaction, I am highly recommending Tori Holub, a 20-year-old female vocalist from Minnesota. She is also a musician and audio engineer. She sings everything including originals, but her most compelling performances are those of the Carpenters. You would be in for the surprise of a lifetime. If you are familiar with the carpenters, please just react to We've Only Just Begun, collaboration with Tori and Jim Wilkas. If you are not familiar, perhaps play Karen Carpenter's original at the beginning of the reaction or just listen on your own before you react to Tori. It is most impressive when you know the original. Thanks and peace out.
