SIMPLY REMARKABLE! | Sydnie Christmas wins GOLDEN BUZZER w/ beautiful cover of 'Tomorrow' (REACTION)

When you think of the story “Annie”, and you come and try to realize the life of a orphan - not the happy life portrayed in children’s plays but the real stories of abuse and loneliness - this version of Sydnie’s becomes all the more amazing.

That was Loren Allred singing somewhere over the rainbow, which sydnie sang as her finale. Sydnie and Loren are the two brightest stars in our musical universe.

The background song was sung by Loren Allred... Who, b.t.w. is Sydnies absolute idol. Besides that I love your reactions, and what surprised me a lot, was that you are the first of all the reactors, who pointed out the difference in the meaning of "only a day away" and "always a day away"... So true that this expresses all the hope she included in this song. An not only the hope for one next day, one tomorrow, but instead every day... Your are really good at what you are doing. Keep up the great work... I'll follow your videos from now on.

My Way was her semi final performance. The West End is London's Broadway.the girl is a goddess of song. She has got IT in every way. I ADORE her.

Now you see why we fell in love with Sydnie. With these shows auditions are tapped months earlier (this year they were done in January). The semis & finals are live. For the auditions a performer is on their own, sink or swim on preparation, choice and whether you can deliver (she was so nervous she didn’t let her nanas here the song until the audition so it was new to them). She was pure magic, the meeting of training & a level talent and emotional connection that’s a gift that can’t be taught. Her personality and ability to use her voice in unique ways and to connect so emotionally with an audience made me think of a long ago day when a young unknown had her first opening night on Broadway and was so undeniably a miracle a star was born - Barbara Streisand in Funny Girl = perfect part meets generational talent. After they get by the auditions acts have about three months to figure out how to up the level in the semis. At this point the show offers help with whatever the type of act needs - costumes, staging, props, vocal coach, etc. You are still responsible for picking your performance but they will help with tools for success. Smart acts say yes as they hire the best. Sydnie was thrilled to work with a famous vocal count she could never have afforded and also smart enough to know minimal staging was necessary. Her gift requires only her presence and the song she chose to give her another preparation meets opportunity moment. After she won the semis she had only three days until the finals and she spent three months on My Way. The coach suggested the Loren Allred version of Over the Rainbow and she didn’t want to do it as she’s a big fan of Loren’s. They had to get Loren to video call and convince her. I’ve felt really bad for Loren on both BGT & AGT. She has the voice and recordings sound great. Initially using her Greatest Showman song she gets through and you hope but unfortunately Loren with all her vocal talent wasn’t gifted with the It Factor, that emotional connection to an audience, that star quality you can’t learn or fake and it always fell apart in the semis. Loren is a class act and recognized Sydnie had “It” and didn’t hesitate to encourage her success. Sydnie has been working at her dream since she was young. She has a degree in musical theatre and she has the magic, what she hasn’t had is that opportunity where someone sees what you have inside and gives you the break that matters. She’s worked on cruise ships, in regional theatre, small shows and has put her earnings back into recording a few songs but without connections or a lucky break you don’t get the dream. She was rejected or told no so many times she was beaten down and doubting her talent. She had to work at a gym trying for the West End one last time because although she’s worked it’s never been enough to support herself. Friends suggested she submit an audition and she decided it would be her last swing. If she didn’t make it through the audition she’d give up and finally all that prep met opportunity and she got that Tomorrow. I can’t wait to buy her music, see her shows and be so glad this time someone who deserved it got her shot.

At the beginning of the song when she just smiles while singing. Million dollar smile

The West End is the British Broadway! The Over the Rainbow sang as background is Loren Allred, Sydnie sings Over The Rainbow as her Finale! She didn't want to sing that song because Loren is her idol, but Loren sent her a video asking her to sing the song!

Yes she did an absolute beyond beautiful job on this song that i love actually, she has lifted this song up to the level of " over the rainbow" 🌈

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this woman! I also LOVE your verbal and facial expressions and your enthusiam in your reactions.

Simon does not even like this song and she still got a golden buzzer. Shows how well she sang.

Britt… Not only did she get the golden buzzer… She went on to WIN the whole show ☝️😁🌅🌅🌅

This is such an iconic "theater" performance of a well loved song. The enunciation, the breath control, the strength in her voice. I love theatrical performers, most of today's pop stars would do well to scuff their shoes on the boards a few seasons before trying to be famous!

I really am enthralled with your ability to verbalize your feelings in such a expressive and articulate manner.

She was so incredibly intentional as she executed every single extremely well thought out note that she gave this song an entirely new perspective, as she also did with her other two performances as well. I would love to see her do an entire album of covers because I’m confident that she would make each track sound like a new song. Amazing girl!!!

Girl, I have been WAITING for this video from you ALL DAY!

Sydnie gives this song its new heart & soul! She has adapted the tune from the cover by Marisha Wallace, in London, from during the pandemic lockdown: Marisha is now a fan of Sydnie, as is Loren, as well. Accidentally, when you skipped ahead through all the applause: you missed Simon JOINING the standing ovation, too. It wasn't just his words of amazement, in the end. Maybe you've glimpsed it by now, but there you go: Simon absolutely loves this song, now! You will be swept away by Sydnie performing "Over the Rainbow" in the actual finale of BGT, which happened ten days ago now, 3 days after she did "My Way". Loren Allred 'coaxed' Sydnie into doing it, as Sydnie at first declined to sing her favourite singer's song, when BGT offered it to her: also, it was Loren's recording of the song in Sydnie's celebration moment, here. After Sydnie won the final, Loren headlined the video on Sydnie's Facebook posting, saying it was now "our" song, as she was so excited watching Sydnie sing it & win BGT with it. Sydnie is said by other music teacher reactors, in England, to raise her tone till goosebumps are pronounced, and then she lowers the volume, making it very personal: "a masterful art". And, what I would suggest, with its gentle up and down shape of tune & tone, is that Sydnie has performed a truly "English art" of music, with this and all her songs here. As she says even also of herself: LET'S AV IT!

She is a seasoned singer, she has video on YouTube and has sung in plays and even on Cruise ships. This was her big break in becoming well known worldwide.

She gives credit to her singing coach in polishing her talent. The real deal. Singing the song from the inside.

Hi Brit, the West End is to London like Broadway is to NYC. 🎶😁

I Absolutely Loved your insight and Reaction to this rendition of tomorrow. You truly have a Heart and Soul for what music is really all about. Can't wait for your next reaction. Thank you and God Bless.
