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!
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.
My sister and her husband have been involved at the highest level of producing Musical Theatre and Opera for 40 years; I showed Sydnie to my sister last weekend. Half way through 'Tomorrow' my sister, yells out: "Rob! Get in here!" Rob arrives and the two of them are transfixed throughout the three performances. My sister, who usually does not like anything from 'talent' shows, talked about Sydnie's performance for more than half an hour.
Sydnie is definitely one of the finest singers I've heard in my 62 in this world. With 20 years of experience in orchestra and choir, and much longer listening to performers of many kinds, I can think of less than a dozen who are in the same level.
I don't want Syde locked away in theaters it's a God given gift it should be revered For all people to be witnessed thanks for Bgt for bringing such a gift To our attention!
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.
What I love so much is that Sydnie really tells the story from her heart. She makes it hers, even more than Sinatra ever did. When she sings, Its like I'm finally understanding what the song is about. Amazing. ❤
I need this every day....I sit at the kitchen table,turn my phone longways ..go through the different reactions by those that know and wonder why I feel this way.The different nuances per word ...per note is incredible truly a gift from this it must be so !!! beautiful 🎉 .
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.
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)>
@@spwchiefOh, I love that you like Sara so much-her talent is often overlooked! And yes Sydnie would be great as Jenna in Waitress-and singing SUTBM. 💜
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.
mine too, since the first notes she song...I coudln´t believe my ears, immediatly thinking, why is she on a talentshow, how come we don´t know this voice already...!
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!👍🌹❤️
I have been saying Shirley Bassey….more voice but the stage presence and performance skills of Dame Shirley xx I was wondering what she could sing in the final to top that. Maybe Goldfinger ? She needs something big…..
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.
😯 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!! 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) 👍
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!
Thanks for the next great reaction video to this outstanding artist. I watch a lot of reaction videos these times, and can confirm that yours are by far the best, warmest, emotional, but also professional ones. Thanks and keep up the great work. Greetings from Germany.
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! 😊😊😊💗💗💗✨✨✨
C'est Prodigieux la plupart de tout les Professionnels l'on écouter et woh tous sont Surpris de cette Performance ouvrant Grands les Yeux pensant qu'il était en train de Rêver c'est Impossible qu'il est une Personne qui chante de cette Manière une Voix qui est pas de ce monde une SuperNova qui Explose et Rayonne toute sa Lumière amenant Joie Bonheur à Tout le monde. ❤❤❤🎉
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!!!
Dear Y.O.S.C., I really enjoy your reactions and analyses of all of Sydnie's performances. Thanks so much. You make listening to Sydnie so much, more fun. Thanks again!🥰💖
I haven't seen u your vocal coach videos..Sydnie led me 2 you.. great critique..u r very lovely and I agree with u 💯 percent..Sydnie is incredible..you're Breakdown..feedback and replay of segments was great.. your facial expressions made me cry.. felt like I was watching sydnie with u.. have a nice day
Your reaction to this is one of the very best I've seen so far of several hundred I've watched. Great job by you. Now we can celebrate Christmas year round. "Lets Have It"
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!!
Thank you for giving such in depth thoughts about Sydnie's latest song. I was looking out for your reaction as you take time to look at all the comments too, and not just all the aspects of Sydnie's singing; plus, you repeat almost every section, since it's all just so good: Thank you so much, and must watch your other reactions, too.
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!
You are so right saying give it time ....with the amount of people from around the world seeing this divinely talented woman and the effect she has on them it's only a matter of time before her career takes flight as high as she wants to go...Btw you also have a lovely personality as well ....I like the way you deconstruct the songs in a way we can follow without being well versed in the vocal terms...thanks for sharing your time with us ...Karl from eastern Canada👍👍👍
I have seen this and her other performances several times and stunned each time by Sydnie. Her interview on This Morning Britain was charming. You are to be commended for your professional and personable reaction comments which are helpful to the nonprofessional ear. I hope YOSC continues to be a success for you!
This is the new reference version of this song. Never been done better. Ever. And I am far from a vocal professional... far, far from it. But I don't remember hearing another vocalist with such incredible dynamic control. She is amazing.
She reminds me of a singer named shirley bassi, who was quite a theatrical and dramatic performer Wonderful stage presents and a wonderful singer as well
I think her background in musical theater really helps her tell the story much more effectively, much more nuanced. It makes me think that all musical performers on the shows should at least take some musical theater classes before they perform on these shows.
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!
Apart from Adele, and adele knows that she a rare case, her type of voice is not required in popular music nowadays. Maybe she can be a star in musical. Her voice is ridiculously good and powerful. Can be from a niche like michael bubble
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.
i'M reading many comments below, and they all remark on the incredible vocals of Sydnie, whiich of course is 100% accurate, but for me, when i watch Sydnie through your eyes, i get a kick out of you! I thoroughly enjoy your technical analysis, while still absorbing Sydnie's personality. I love your video's, and oh btw; you have a wonderful smile!!!! Thx for your videos! Keep up the fun work!
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.
Sydnie said in some interview that her appearance on BGT was a last ditch attempt to have a career in voice. Not surprising then that each of these spectacular songs have a strong personal content. In "Tomorrow," she moves the song from childhood optimism to adult angst by changing "only" to "always" and using her musicality and physicality at the climax to underscore hopelessness. In "My Way" she becomes defiant about failure; in "Over the Rainbow," she again approaches despair in the very choice of the song and its lyrics, with special vocal power and intensity on "can't" as the finale. But in this despair and longing she has so powerfully stated that she is a vocal powerhouse that no one will ignore ever more.
Hey! I had watched her first performance at BGT singing "Tomorrow" and it was stunning too, not only her great voice but also her expressiveness, she is mesmerizing. And singing "my way" I just felt the same. Thank you because, as always, the experience improves adding your knowledge. Best wishes 👏👋🎶
I love her more than any singer I've heard. She's like all the greats combined. I'd love to hear her sing some 60, 70, and 80 songs. I'd love to hear her sing some Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion and even some Roxy etc..
This is the third review of yours I have watched. You do an incredible job and I have now subscribed to your channel. Your breakdown of what the singer does is essential in understanding not only the art but the nuance of vocals. Thank you. BTW, I sincerely believe Sydnie Christmas is at a level above 99% of singers in the world today, her power, her vocal array, her projection and her control are one step above, regardless.
She plays us like a violin, going here and there, and everywhere; up and down and loud and soft. You can play me anytime; so happy to be on all your Sydnie journeys. Ok? And please don't team up with anyone. No Loren, no anybody with you. You, the whole package, are so thrilling to experience. I've said this before. There is so much to you, that we haven't as much as touched the tip of the iceberg as far as your gifts & talents go. I feel that in my gut. Don't water yourself down with anyone. You are a stand alone, with your loved ones, of course. We love you straight up. I hope you can hear me. You're no Loren. You're a Sydnie, a one-of-a-kind. Remember that. Be yourself.
...no one compares to anybody, every single human on this planet has an very own specific voice which makes the very persons, their soul hearable...watch for the word per-sona...all the latin words in the english language have a deep meaning 🙂
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).
Total package, personality, funny, the most powerful and authentic singer that I have ever seen on an audition. And then this, My Way!!! Such powerful and amazing vocal range!!! She is absolutely amazing!!!
Exactly what I said, though her voice is even better (But I absolutely worship Sara). Another commenter and I both agreed separately that we wanted to hear Sydnie sing She Used to Be Mine. She would blow our minds!
Absolutely stunning rendition by Sydnie! She has a set of pipes that rivals any of the more famous female crooners. Not as moved emotionally as with "Tomorrow." But I think she was trying to showcase her incredible range. I really hope she wins it all. Would love to see her go big!!
@@lawrenceb5236 Hi Lawrence. Thanks for reaching out! Not sure what happened to my comment. It seems to have vanished. Perhaps for the better!! I appreciate your insights and knowledge. Though I loved Sydnie and am happy she won, it looks like I was too harsh on Loren. I'll endeavor to watch more of her videos and get to know her better. Many thanks!!
@@-Pearls I appreciate that. I try to put honest information in the comments. Plus, I do a little research so I have a better understanding of a performers background.

@@lawrenceb5236 Hi Lawrence. Wonderful videos. She has an astounding voice and presence. I also watched a couple of interviews, and she seems down-to-earth. So, I hereby rescind any previous judgments about her. LOL! Thanks for sharing!
You should check out Sydnie’s new release and video (My Way). She’s able to project the emotional journey she’s had since the beginning of her BGT journey till now…chills
J'ai découvert par hasard cette émission,et j'en ai encore des frissons tellement cette interprétation de my way,est magnifique. Sydney Christmas est une chanteuse hors du commun, elle est de la catégorie des tres grandes comme Céline dion , Whitney Houston ou Adèle. C'est un pur bonheur de l'entendre sur Scène et en plus elle est tres drôle
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!
Wow, exactly! Such a perfect way to put it!
I've watched her thousands of times, still wondering why I still get chills during this performance!
Love both the analysis and the incredible performance. Incredible X
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.

Yes you can tell with her gestures and control. She does this song with such ease but with such power
She just wow's me! She reminds me of Judy Garland! She is so theatric. She is on her way to Broadway!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments Juliet. My beautiful Great Niece, we are so proud 🙏
Her voice is world class....in league of Whitney,Celine ,Bassey etc I've never heard as good on a talent show.
The kind of girl, I would LOVE to know, and be best friends!! Amazing!❤❤❤
She is exquisite!
Excellent analysis, indeed!
You should be she's amazing!!! ❤️
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!
There’s no doubt syds going to be a world wide superstar..
Apart from Adele, and adele knows that she a rare case, her type of voice is not required in popular music nowadays. Maybe she can be a star in musical. Her voice is ridiculously good and powerful. Can be from a niche like michael bubble
She is so dynamic, I think Sydnie has great ears just as you do! Love your enthusiasm for the music and Sydnie!
She is incredible! 👏👏👏❤️ I love your review! ❤️
Yes, yes, an anthem for women everywhere, possibly the best ever written, thank-you Paul Anka and the original French writers ideas!
My way was set to the music of the French song "Comme d'habitude" composed by Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Gilles Thibaut and Claude François[(wiki)
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.
i'M reading many comments below, and they all remark on the incredible vocals of Sydnie, whiich of course is 100% accurate, but for me, when i watch Sydnie through your eyes, i get a kick out of you! I thoroughly enjoy your technical analysis, while still absorbing Sydnie's personality. I love your video's, and oh btw; you have a wonderful smile!!!! Thx for your videos! Keep up the fun work!
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.
Yes 😅
Yes...and she does..
QED…
More importantly, she sounds like a star ❤
Sydnie said in some interview that her appearance on BGT was a last ditch attempt to have a career in voice. Not surprising then that each of these spectacular songs have a strong personal content. In "Tomorrow," she moves the song from childhood optimism to adult angst by changing "only" to "always" and using her musicality and physicality at the climax to underscore hopelessness. In "My Way" she becomes defiant about failure; in "Over the Rainbow," she again approaches despair in the very choice of the song and its lyrics, with special vocal power and intensity on "can't" as the finale. But in this despair and longing she has so powerfully stated that she is a vocal powerhouse that no one will ignore ever more.
Well said!😊❤
Sydnie won BGT 2024 yesterday and also sang Over the Rainbow. Masterpiece!!
Shhhh
Sydney and Britain have discovered a new talent, she won a few minutes ago with "Over the Rainbow",, waiting for your review. X
Hey! I had watched her first performance at BGT singing "Tomorrow" and it was stunning too, not only her great voice but also her expressiveness, she is mesmerizing. And singing "my way" I just felt the same. Thank you because, as always, the experience improves adding your knowledge. Best wishes 👏👋🎶
Mesmerizing is the perfect word for her.
It has not been done that well ever, not even Frank!
She is absolutely phenomenal! Wow ... just WOW!!! LOVE HER! 💓🤗💓
Your presentation and analysis was the best I’ve seen so far!!!
Amazing control and range, a lot of Bassey-esque beautiful tones 🙇🏻♂️
Love her dynamic super strong vocal..... my God, great performance of Sydnei ❤❤
I learn so much from your comments Thank you coach!
Superb. I've heard of bel canto, but she's a can belto! Already one of the greats.
I love her more than any singer I've heard. She's like all the greats combined. I'd love to hear her sing some 60, 70, and 80 songs. I'd love to hear her sing some Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion and even some Roxy etc..
~~CHILLS~~
Las Vegas Billboard here she comes!
😂great reaction. Especially about her personality.
I thought she was fantastic in her audition, but wow, she took it to whole another stratosphere.
This is the third review of yours I have watched. You do an incredible job and I have now subscribed to your channel. Your breakdown of what the singer does is essential in understanding not only the art but the nuance of vocals. Thank you. BTW, I sincerely believe Sydnie Christmas is at a level above 99% of singers in the world today, her power, her vocal array, her projection and her control are one step above, regardless.
If you haven’t yet, I would recommend Juliet’s reaction to Loren Allred singing Never Enough on AGT Fantasy League a few months ago.
She plays us like a violin, going here and there, and everywhere; up and down and loud and soft. You can play me anytime; so happy to be on all your Sydnie journeys. Ok? And please don't team up with anyone. No Loren, no anybody with you. You, the whole package, are so thrilling to experience. I've said this before. There is so much to you, that we haven't as much as touched the tip of the iceberg as far as your gifts & talents go. I feel that in my gut. Don't water yourself down with anyone. You are a stand alone, with your loved ones, of course. We love you straight up. I hope you can hear me. You're no Loren. You're a Sydnie, a one-of-a-kind. Remember that. Be yourself.
I agree totally Sydnie is a stand alone performer she's got it all.
hey, just discovered you. You’re amazing. Every moment of your analysis was incredible. Instant sub!
I love your excitement in your reactions. Love Sydnie and you. Peace to All
No one compares to her!!!
...no one compares to anybody, every single human on this planet has an very own specific voice which makes the very persons, their soul hearable...watch for the word per-sona...all the latin words in the english language have a deep meaning 🙂
Sydnie is my winner hope she achieves her dream of being on broadway
Did she say broadway? 🙂
@@munci6474 she did
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).
@@wajj1842 well said, my thoughts since years, you don´t do that in sports so why with the arts?
You need watch in final song!! CHILLS ❤❤
Total package, personality, funny, the most powerful and authentic singer that I have ever seen on an audition. And then this, My Way!!! Such powerful and amazing vocal range!!! She is absolutely amazing!!!
I kinda get a Sara Bareilles feel when I listen and watch her ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Exactly what I said, though her voice is even better (But I absolutely worship Sara). Another commenter and I both agreed separately that we wanted to hear Sydnie sing She Used to Be Mine. She would blow our minds!
best version, i love it even more than the original. i love her
Love to hear her do some Streisand?
Oh, yeah. And I would love to hear Streisand's opinion. How about a duet????
Here she shows the sense and sensibilities of Shirley Bassey. She should sing all future Bond themes!
I get chills everytime she hits the top note at the end…. If she doesn’t win BGT I’ll eat my hat
She is amazing.
Really enjoyed your analysis of her performance! Looking forward to your reaction to her Grand Final performance after Sunday night. Subscribed!
Your reactions are so awesome!
Wait til you get to Somewhere over the Rainbow. Wow. She is stunning.
out of this world...
Absolutely stunning rendition by Sydnie! She has a set of pipes that rivals any of the more famous female crooners. Not as moved emotionally as with "Tomorrow." But I think she was trying to showcase her incredible range. I really hope she wins it all. Would love to see her go big!!
She definitly will! She already won million of hearts...with our without winning this crazy show ;-)
Hi Pearls. I saw you sent a comment to me in the video of Loren and Sydnie, but couldn’t find it in the actual comments.
@@lawrenceb5236 Hi Lawrence. Thanks for reaching out! Not sure what happened to my comment. It seems to have vanished. Perhaps for the better!! I appreciate your insights and knowledge. Though I loved Sydnie and am happy she won, it looks like I was too harsh on Loren. I'll endeavor to watch more of her videos and get to know her better. Many thanks!!
@@-Pearls I appreciate that. I try to put honest information in the comments. Plus, I do a little research so I have a better understanding of a performers background. If you want some videos of Loren, here’s a sample.

@@lawrenceb5236 Hi Lawrence. Wonderful videos. She has an astounding voice and presence. I also watched a couple of interviews, and she seems down-to-earth. So, I hereby rescind any previous judgments about her. LOL! Thanks for sharing!
You should check out Sydnie’s new release and video (My Way). She’s able to project the emotional journey she’s had since the beginning of her BGT journey till now…chills
Anxiously waiting for your reaction to her finale performance of Over The Rainbow! Another Wow!
I’m out of town this week, so can’t get to it until next week. SO excited to see it!!! 👍
Great analysis, and fun
J'ai découvert par hasard cette émission,et j'en ai encore des frissons tellement cette interprétation de my way,est magnifique. Sydney Christmas est une chanteuse hors du commun, elle est de la catégorie des tres grandes comme Céline dion , Whitney Houston ou Adèle. C'est un pur bonheur de l'entendre sur Scène et en plus elle est tres drôle
grandiosa!!!! desde Venezuela!!
You should also check out Innocent Masuku. I think both in personality, likeability and vocal talent..they are the ones to beat
PHENOMENAL 🎤🫳
She had some Shirley Bassey in there but completely next level. Wow.
Love your reviews. Please review her final performance...!
