I've watched this performance a lot... I still get chills listening to her. Her control is out of this world. It's amazing how she just stands in one spot and has the crowd eating out of the palm of her hand. Music is food for the soul and she's serving a buffet!

Love both the analysis and the incredible performance. Incredible X

Simon gave her performance 11 out of 10 and called it a "Masterclass." so true.

Managed properly she could become one of the best vocal performers of this era, already she doesn't just sing she puts on a performance, she draws you in from the very first word, so much control and power, her vibrato is on point every time.

I've watched this 25+ times now, and it gets me every time. I've seen many, many great singing performances on talent shows (I'm 81), and this is the Best Ever (IMO). If Ant and Dec hadn't starting interviewing Syd after the performance, the audience would still on their feet clapping. This was Absolutely STUNNING!!! She is the Best singer to ever appear on a talent show (IMO), and if she doesn't win, it just clarifies the inherent flaw in this kind of show---the BEST doesn't always win. That said, I do believe if she again makes a good song choice, she will win. I would love to hear her version of "She Used to Be Mine", but whatever she sings I'm confident it will be Great.

OMG! She Used to Be Mine! It's the exact thing I told my wife after making her listen to this performance (she loved it and she's a tough room!). Her voice begs to sing that song, or almost any song by Sara Bareilles, who she reminds me of in many ways. I would have loved is she had sung that instead of Over the Rainbow, which is so over done by now. Of course, she killed it and won all the marbles as she should have. I heard on the morning show clip that the show had presented her options for the final and she really didn't want to do it (why doesn't anyone sing the original version any more?) as she thinks of it as Loren Allred's song and she kind of worships her. Honestly, she blows Loren Allred out of the water and she's a lovely songer. Anyway, this comment made me so happy since I had the exact same reaction (I'm 77, btw)>

That last section… you can mute the sound and STILL hear/see the notes.

BE READY TO BE BLOWN OUT OF THIS WORLD ON HER NEWEST PERFORMANCE… I MEAN… I understand that she is “smartly” choosing swelling, emotionally driven songs… but she has the chops, the dynamics… the range…. The … i said to my husband (BEFORE HER PERFORMANCE WAS EVEN OVER) that if she comes to the states.. I need to see her in person, in concert.. we are going! I have never been as moved by a singer on any videos I’ve watched and I’ve watched a ton…. And (btw, Simon was choked up while speaking to her after… take note)… I can’t wait to see you hear this!

She is just INCREDIBLE!

She takes the audience on a journey. We don't realize, at first, that it's a journey up a mountain. She brings us along through the foothills, showing us the sights and sounds and when we think we're comfortable and happy...... She brings us along to a higher plateau....and then again....and then again..... And....when we think we've found the peak of this mountain and been shown it's incredible majesty...... She shows us another PEAK!!! The way she builds this song from beginning to end is a talent beyond her voice!!

I just listened to this Wonderful performance again, and I'm certain "my highway" was intentional. It was not a slipup---it was on purpose. She was emphasizing that she "chose" the highway that she travelled, which is again, Sydnie making this her song. The Best Ever!!!

Sydnie has become a LEGEND for introducing back very clearly to the whole world "The Big Hidden-Science in the art of singing". She is a Real Master in the art of singing inside-the-song - thus; she can build More Life and More Meaning to the song which, in the complete process, Sydnie has become the Song her-self. This performance is; Poetry becoming a song and a Song becoming a Poetry - hence; exactly, Simon called this a Master Class Performance'. Great salutation.

You should hear Sarah Brightman. Different styles, but a great singer, that’s less known, at least in America.,

Yes!! I too loved her facial expressions communicating that last section! It was my second favourite part of the performance (the first obviously just being her singing 😁). So glad you mentioned that. There was a video package before the performance where we got to see her personality shine again also (I think someone has uploaded it on YT) 👍

Please do her Finals performance next. Her Over the rainbow is simply perfect.

😯 wow. I love the way she performs/acts and combines it with that fantastic voice. Yes, she definitely belongs on stage. 👏👏👏Great reaction, thanks Juliet

Yes! You did as promised and reacted to this… it was so spectacular… the dynamics…. My God and the intimacy along with the belts…. Shivers and stunning!!! those belting notes… and then kicking it up higher… crazy!! She better find success from this… her caliber of talent is insane… and her acting the song… which is what really puts this up even higher… there’s more at stake because she makes us feel she is so invested in what she is singing/saying…. I’d listen to her album anytime! I did miss her quirky, fun side… she was so sophisticated.

I did enjoy this very much. Thank you! Sydnie Sydnie Sydnie She gets on stage and I never want her to stop singing. I never want her to leave the stage. She is Dame Shirley Bassey but with a bigger voice. A Star is born!👍🌹❤️

Hi Juliet. Great analysis as always. I was on pins and needles all week waiting to see this as soon as the video was posted. She looked gorgeous, she sang fantastic, and is still so humble. She has joined Loren Allred and Lucy Thomas as my favorite singers. Bless her and shame on those that denied her the chance at stardom all these years. And she won this semifinal. From the USA, so can’t vote or see it live unless someone knows a way to. The Final is Sunday night.

Broadway awaits her genius! Too bad Britain already did their revival of Funny Girl fairly recently as she would have been perfection. I adored Lea Michele and saw Barbra (my vocal goddess) in the original when I was a teenager. But Sydnie would bring something special to the role. And, God, could she sing it!

Sydnie's song choices seem autobiographical. She dreams of Tomorrow, then she announces she will do it My Way. I love it! Thank you for excellent critique of, what I consider to be, one of the greatest voices in the 21st century.

Oh, I LOVE your reactions soo much! It has everything: the technical knowledge AND the emotional sensibility and connection to what you're hearing. Also loved her making it even more personal by changing the lyrics to "woman" and her expression as she says it. I believe her being so grounded is what makes her such a powerful interpreter (I mean, besides her vocals), cause it means she's connected to herself and sings from that place of truth. I am 200% rooting for her to win! 😊😊😊💗💗💗✨✨✨

Can she beat this performance in the finals? I mean does it get much better than this? Watching her I sometimes think the microphone isn't there broadcasting her voice, it really is just her power and strength, she truly has a voice that can belt it out of the park. Wow, she's the deal, the whole package. I can't wait to see her again performing. Great reaction videos by the way, both of them with her.

The biggest problem with a show like this, where great singers compete with dogs, goats, stunts, comedians, etc., is that the best doesn't always win. It's difficult when you mix performance categories like that. I believe Sydnie has a tremendous following, and if they vote, then she will win. She's just so Incredibly talented and likable, it's hard to see her not winning. Of course, it's hard to follow a performance like this one. But if she picks a great song, she will win (IMO).

I really enjoy your breakdowns of performances. I agree that mixing in the high notes is much more impact full than. Many performers in these shows think screaming high notes can learn something. Her performances are great...I am a fam.

More importantly, she sounds like a star ❤

Well discussed. She's worked hard to get to that point as most singers have. Singing storytelling and syncopated vocal dynamic variation. People resonate with it. And her personality is charming. Tonight she went on to win the public vote. She's BGT 2024 champion. But like she said she's back to work tomorrow while the opportunity transition begins.

this is by far, one of the most passionate and heartfelt versions of "My way". And for her three performances at BGT, this is my favorite. It's extraordinary ! I cannot stop seeing this over and over again.

Superb. I've heard of bel canto, but she's a can belto! Already one of the greats.

I'm so hoping you're gonna release a rection to her grand finalle soon! It was soo special! Would love to see your reaction to it, it's always so good!
