Sydnie said the BGT vocal coach taught her more in 3 weeks than she learned in musical college, her vocal coach was talking into her earpiece at the beginning and end of each song to encourage her because she was so nervous. She also decided in December 2023 that she was giving up trying to make a career out of music as she couldn't make a living out of it, but then learned she had got through to the BGT audition, so decided this was going to be her last shot. Imagine this woman and her voice being lost forever. Her Instagram is fantastic, just a warm funny human who even plays women's rugby! I love Sydnie as a singer and a great human being.

This was the Loren Allred arrangement. Loren is Sydnie's hero.

One thing nobody mentions: not only talented, but she is very beautiful, a lovely young woman. I wish her all success!

Absolutely love your feedback! It's great to see the reaction from someone who's well trained and understands the mechanics of such talent- and you do it with great humor.

I don’t get the nay sayers. Shouldn’t we give her more credit for taking it so seriously that she wanted to become a highly trained singer? It’s bizarre to me that folks would criticize her.

I can’t stop watching her…Sydnie is perfection. I am bummed she only had three performances for the show. She’s very humble. Beautiful girl.

All three performances were pointing at her trials in getting rejected so many times! In tomorrow she vhanged only a day away to always and stuck out her chin to move past the rejection! In My Way she changed the sex and took the rejection in, spat it out and fid it her way! In Over The Rainbow she restyled ot yo let us sll know she wants that Wedt End prize over the Rainbow! All three performances so heart felt! Amazing! Now she is a Quarter of s million pounds richer, has a gig to perform before the King and Royal Family, and West End offers are pouring in! Bravo Syd! Lets ave it!

Magnificent vocalist, I thoroughly loved each one of Sydnie’s performances

This version of over the rainbow. Is from AGT fantasy league from Loren aldred. Loren is her idol. Loren gave her permission to sing her version. BGT vocal coach changed it enough to mske it her own in away. Another stunning performance by Sydnie. You should watch lorens version as well stunning as well. I have added both these versions to my favourite list of this song

Very true, the vocal coach from AGT helped her greatly with this version that is definitely different than Loren's and they only had 3 days to prepare it and Sydnie added her own flavor to the performance! The vocal coach helped on all three of her performances, but it was still mostly Sydnie!

Hi Tom! I think it is because she is a real professional. That is why it is something so new. She is very experienced as a performer. I did, I have it for the members on the channel it is like 40min 😅😅

Just fascinating what Sydnie has done with this song. Your insights are so good, and you're spot on that so much training and technique is necessary: it's just equally so sad that such skills are often not given the parts in the West End due to not fitting the preferences set. At least our Sydnie is not down beat about it: with the best vocal coach & agency being arranged, now, she ought to secure her dreamed of career path, as she so much deserves. I had also heard of comparisons with the version you mentioned that she was adapting for this performance - so similar, but the Loren Allred connection is indeed the tune here, involving Loren also interacting with Sydnie through it all, and endorsing the song's BGT video on Sydnie's Facebook page, expressing excitement at watching her sing & win, and calling it "our song". They're also arranging a duet for themselves very soon, now, maybe even after Loren does an event with Andrea Bocelli in London, next month. I don't know much at all about all these skills, but I am certain that she and her coach decided to drop the "t" of "can't": perhaps to ease the sound of the vowel change at the very end by using 'only' the "-an" link?

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach Thank YOU so much: I'm truly honoured; I'm just following Sydnie's career, having heard of her now - as she had hoped. I'm back in South Africa, near Hermanus, but was in west Kent too, before, where Sydnie's from. That last word's 'spelling' we'd have to ask her about..., but just remembered it's quite common in local English accents there also to drop the T in places like that: either way, what an English artist she is! Our delight is also at her legato-vibrato notes, there, a distinction I spotted thanks to our English friend, William, the Bangkok voice coach. You two are much alike, with your easy technicalities.😳😇😊

Sydnie said on This Morning show that she covered Loren Allred’s song and Loren was very supportive. That’s why the high note was in there. It doesn’t matter. Sydnie has the power to make us all feel emotional. She has to be as emotional to convey that to the audience? She goes to places in her head when she sings to us. Dramatic ends or a gasp is her way of returning back to us …maybe?👍🌹❤️

Hi Denise! I know it always seems like that's a really short amount of time.But for a professional performer , three days is more than enough to prepare for a performance. You've to remember she would already have known the lyrics to the song before beginning it. Every singer knows this song. It is just not only iconic but also used a lot and singing lessons.Because of the technical difficulties of the opening octave. I'm not trying to detract from her performance at all.It was absolutely stunning as you saw in my video. However , often performers get asked with twenty four hours , notice to learn an entirely new song that they've never heard of before, so three days was actually quite a long time.

Yeah but everyone knows the song as a singer. ❤️ she didn't have to learn the words, and as a Pro we have to be able to learn songs super fast. Seems like a super power to others but it is just part of the job. She was cover for 2 years in a show and you just have to be quick to learn. But I agree she is awesome. This is still Lorens copy of Israels arrangement.

I’m a professional trumpet player. It’s super interesting how breathing, support, air amount, air speed, tongue(vowel pronunciation) and so many other things are exactly the same for me as you explain for a singer. I’ve never heard a vocal coach or expert break things down before. I’ve now watched a couple of your vids and had to comment! (Ever heard this from a brass player?) Good stuff!

Zoe, that high note isn't so strange if you've heard Eva Cassidy's version. What I liked about the end is that little nod -- she's telling herself she did it!

Sydnie is amazing ❤

I really enjoy listening to her audition of this. More emotion in it , my 2 bits.

This whole arrangement: It sounds like that great singer in the movie Greatest Showman that Hugh Jackman's character bet his life on to put on the stage. But not only the arrangement and delivery, lights, intensity, her voice, the whole thing. But also, that very first part of Over the Rainbow at 3:55 exactly there, "someday I wish upon a star, and wake up where the clouds are far behind me... ...... that's where you'll find me.... Somewhere over the rainbow, Skies are blue"..... THERE. That is not only the arangement from the Israel Hawaiian chap with the ukelele - but it is also a lot like the song "Never Enough"... listen to "The Greatest Showman Never Enough"😊

100% when it is an emotional choice I agree. It is just often lack of skill that we hear it

Loren Alred is claiming this is her version that Sydnie is singing.

Ok so the high note wasn't technically difficult and it's said you aren't poo-pooing it but it's easier than it looks, seems like you are more about technicality which excites you and you being a voice teacher I can understand that. Simon said it's the audience response that is the true gauge of your performance. I must say I have heard some of the most adroit technical vocal performances that just leave me gasping at the wonder of it but have never spent a penny on them because something of humanity is lacking in the expression. It's really par for a singer like Sydnie and it better be at this point of her work honing her talent but it doesn't mean you don't use it to express a moment in music. The immediate moment is what music is about, and in that moment does the music sung transcend itself into speech by speaking into the human heart. I have dollars for that kind of singing, I have serious coin for singers like Sydnie Christmas who can use common par that transcends music into speech that talks to my heart.

@ZoeStibiVocalCoach

I agree with you 100%. It isn't all about the technique. But to sing that takes technique, it isn't a "natural " sound we make.
