    Imagine that.... The local Cannabis concentrate producters (Alien Labs in San Jose) are making clean stuff, while the "Big Companies" (Cookies, BackPackBoys, Cure, Stiizzy, etc) sell garbage across the state. And people pay MORE for those brands, to be Poisoned. 👏👏👏👏

    “Somewhere over the rainbow” - Who sang it better Sydnie Christmas or Loren Allred? First, they have both given stunning, beautiful performances of an extremely familiar song. They both did a tremendous job and preferences are very subjective. Loren Allred On AGT’s Fantasy League, Loren sang a near flawless cover of “Somewhere.” However, her history on talent shows was much was different from Sydnie’s. Loren was already an extremely accomplished professional singer who announced to the 2022 BGT judges and audience during her audition there that she was the actual voice of “Never Enough.” Therefore, the BGT judges (including Simon) appeared gob smacked that she was now going to perform “Never Enough” for the judges and come out of the shadows. Allred presented herself, elegantly dressed, but as somewhat fragile and uncertain about stepping into the limelight. Sydnie Christmas In contrast, for her first audition on 2024 BGT, Sydnie sort of bounces onto the stage. Her personality is already infectious. She engages with the judges and audience, but her off-the street clothing and self-deprecating humor did not signal a successful audition. In fact, considering the tremendous expectation Simon Cowell and the BGT judges had for hearing Allred sing “one of the biggest songs of all time” (“Never Enough”), the context for Loren’s audition was completely different from that faced by Sydnie. Yes, it was later revealed that Sydnie had previous experience singing musical gigs, but Sydnie completely lowered expectations by announcing she was going to sing a song she hadn’t sung since she was four years old. Ha! And then to announce that she was going to sing “Tomorrow,” from Annie, only to have Simon hold his head, roll his eyes, and be told that it was Simon’s least favorite song. You’re 28 years old and have just been told that the chief judge absolutely hates your song choice before you’ve even started. Well, no pressure there. Buuuuuut. Although BGT never tells us who arranged this version of “Tomorrow,” and seems to pretend that they had never heard this version before, in fact, Marisha Wallace (search KZread) performed this song this way as far back as 2020. Obviously, this was NOT the version of “Tomorrow” Sydnie sang as a four-year old! This was a carefully crafted performance of Wallace’s arrangement and performance with a bit of jazzy-blues insertions and bended flats you would never hear from a four-year old (or a 10-year-old Annie). Another curious thing about this BGT presentation is the way BGT cut and presented Sydnie’s golden buzzer performance. After her rendition, and as part of Sydnie’s golden buzzer moment, “Somewhere over the rainbow” played out, with dramatic swells and diminishments all the way to Sydnie exiting to greet her family to the final words of “why, oh, why, can’t I?” Apparently, these were cut in from Loren Allred’s performance on AGT. BGT took a lot of care and thought into post-editing Sydnie’s audition and golden buzzer performance. Again, as has been revealed, Sydnie Christmas did not just walk out on the BGT stage and dredge up by memory a song (“Tomorrow”) she had last sung when she was four years old. Someone else noted, that she actually presented herself and dressed like an adult “Annie.” And after the accolades and golden buzzer confetti, as she walks off the stage she sticks her right hand in her pants pocket. Now who does that? Calculated? You tell me. Perhaps it was an extremely effective way of lowering expectations and going back to an oh, shucks, persona. “Somewhere over the rainbow” As has been noted, both Sydnie and Loren sang the same song, same version, in the same key. Who sang it better? A few observations. Loren’s version was perhaps more technically pure. For music critics this is sometimes the music measurement: How close does a singer get to the standard (or altered standard)? Loren’s version is bright and precise. Sydnie, who clearly put her own stamp on “Tomorrow” and “My Way”, sang a “Somewhere” version that was a bit more raw, a few more bends and tweaks used. A few pre-BGT videos of Sydnie’s singings have popped up. While good, they do not foreshadow the control or incredible belting capability of her voice, especially in the BGT final. During her time on BGT, Sydnie disclosed that she worked hard with a BGT vocal coach. Especially after choosing to do Loren’s version of “Somewhere” for the final with three days preparation. All to say, that Loren already had years of exquisite singing under her “belt” (pun intended), but seemingly lacked confidence to go solo. Sydnie, at 28, had some catching up to do and apparently was successful enough that she announced that she would use at least some of her BGT winnings to continue paying the BGT vocal coach. In other words, Loren already had the chops to effortlessly deliver “Somewhere,” while Sydnie had to work to get there. A couple of other subjective things. Sydnie has a great lower range. You could hear that immediately when at her BGT audition she was asked if being a front at a gym was what she wanted to do, she laughed and then gave this low lyrical “Nooooo.” She went with a few low lyrical swells in “Tomorrow” as well. While both singers have incredible high ranges, Sydnie’s lower range was very impressive. Loren’s diction was impeccable. Perhaps due to nerves, Sydnie’s diction occasionally became a bit mudded. And both singers could take in enormous breaths of air, without being obvious about it. When watching a Stevie Nicks video, Nicks will stand at the mic with her legs very far apart as if she needs her legs to help her do her belting. Loren and Syndie both are able to stand straight in front of the mic with their feet together pointing straight ahead. Loren has a bit more leg separation, but it is amazing that Sydnie, in particular, can ground herself on stage so effortlessly with all that belting coming from her core with her feet so close together. Finally, it would have been nice to have given Israel Kamakawiwo'ole credit for writing and singing this version of “Somewhere.”

    Californias always had the wrong labels and test results why? Well these testing snd companies sending in product are legally allowed up to a 30% deviation in the advertised percentages of canabanoids meaning somethings thats labeled 30% thc could actually be anywhere from 0 to 60%thc legally or if the products 60%thc fhat means its anywhere from 30% to 90%thc this goes for alot of the other numbers to andno one talks about it edibles arent allow this high of a deviation in posted percentages theyre quiet strict about the dosage of edbiles but every other prosuct can vary wildly from wht its labeled up to 30% thats insane

    You guys do realize that thie is an attack on the cannabis industry right? They probably planned this, isnt it irony that they release news like this right after they started the rescheduling process. They want it to go full pharmaceutical status. So essentially growing would be just as bad as making pharmacutical drugs in your own home. They need to cannabis industry to look as bad and dangerous as possible in order to intervene and make their desired changes so they can control it and take all the profits from it.

She is giving us hope in who she is and how she is just overwhelmed at the love and support. She so deserves this and thank God she didn’t give up!

    Welcome to the club! It was sooo torturous to have to wait WEEKS to see her perform again. I was looking to see some singers and she’d just performed and it was released like 24 hours before… and so I lucked out in discovering her… but then again I , and tons of people also had waited and checked every day to see when she’d be on BGT again. I love seeing people experience her.

    Thank you for covering this. It's very interesting. I'm in the UK & while small amounts have been largely decriminalised it isn't legal here. One of the sticks that anti-drug advocates use to beat users with is the purity/safety aspect of street drugs. It appears that they have as many, if not more, issues with the licensed stuff.

    It would have been much better if it had been your Reaction to hearing her songs for the first time. I think it was BGT last year, there was an 11 year old Girl called Olivia Lynes. Her Audition song was Defying Gravity. Her second was Into The Unknown. She had a sore throat in her third song. She was like a younger version of Sydney.

Recently, I was rewatching Garland‘s version of A Star is Born with its grand, theatrical musical numbers and it reminds me of Sydnie. Sydnie is not only musically talented, she also has such an engaging personality. With her dramatic flair onstage, I imagine we may see her in the movies someday too. Thanks for taking the time to share!

That end note of My Way..what a perfectly satisfying finish! Her personality is also wonderful in interviews. You gotta love an artist who wins 250 000 pounds and the first thing she thinks of doing with it is hiring a really great vocal coach on a weekly basis!
