Thank you for writing exactly what I was thinking, and the "adult version" of the song, minus the curly-headed girl and obediently cute dog (which were fine for the musical) is a completely different experience. Sydnie made it so. When they enhanced the Golden Buzzer with "Over the Rainbow" I connected Sydnie to Judy Garland at 17 in _The Wizard of Oz_ Her performance allowed the viewer to think of the song as portraying a kid yearning to fulfill her dreams but also (and this became clear as Garland continued to sing the song to the end of her life) to hear the unsure questioning by an adult of whether reaching the end of the rainbow is actually possible. Similarly, Sydnie takes a rather simple and shallow anthem to sticktoitiveness on a child's level and turns it into thoughtful reflection on the trials that an adult facing some new challenge has already survived. There was also never a dull moment because of the control Simon mentioned. I never knew what to expect from her voice next but there was never anything static or mushy. Bravissima! So happy for her, her family and the audience.
I lost my husband unexpectedly this past April. I have felt so lost and that my life was over. I have listened to this clip more times than i can count and she has not entertained me, she had ministered to me and renewed my hope and belief in a bright tomorrow. I love you ❣️ i am so thankful for her presence and voice!
I’m sorry to hear that you lost your one and only 😢he wants you to know that the sun WILL come out TOMMROW I promise he’s watching and hes so proud I promise you’ll see him again he wants you to live each day as it was your last day till you see him again! In just a few tomorrows ❤
I am so sorry you lost your sweetie. After 40 years of marriage, I don't know what I do if I lost my one and only. I'm not religious, but I'm sending as much positive energy/ thoughts/ love … as I can. 🩷😘
She’s just as incredible in person as she is on stage! I had the pleasure of her teaching me in college for a little while when covid shut down theatre jobs and when I tell you she is inspirational, she’s INSPIRATIONAL, a powerhouse of a woman!!!!
@@cokedudebestmate7099 purely for the safety reasons of the students that still go there I won’t be naming the college, but it was one full of very bright and talented people including the staff
@@juliemichaud8990 you should hear her sing defying gravity and somebody to love! She’s so effortlessly talented but she really throws herself into the songs she’s singing especially when they’re from musicals!
I've heard that song a million times and she REALLY got the poignancy of it. It is a sad song, but a song of hope, and it is hard to walk that line and she KILLED IT. It's not just about her voice, it is how she sold that song.
I’m a 60 year old builder sitting in my van having lunch. I just watched this. The guys in the next van are taking the P coz I’m crying my eyes out! Brilliant!
I hope you are doing good right now. I cried my eyes out as well by just listening to this, just watching her after the trauma I went through my past 2-year relationship that ended already. This just gave me so much hope!
from laughing with her jokes to gasping at her voice to sobbing as she hit those notes, she is probably my favorite act in a long time. way to go sydnie 🫶💐
@@jeanat327 Yes! Calum Scott was one of my absolute favorite auditions, and I always go back to rewatch his. I feel that way about this girl too! I can't wait to see her progress!!
I believe what you mean is that she doesn't sing ... she feels and makes the audience feel that song. She is truly meant to entertain and sooo naturally.
Without resorting to a sob story, seeking pity, or pleading for a golden buzzer, she simply embraced her authentic, genuine, and humorous self. Her confidence shines without a hint of arrogance. And her vocals? GAAH DAMN. she went tf off 🔥
Say that louder. People who have faced no serious challenge in this life seems to have no emotions. Sometimes moving people with emotions is more powerful than just singing, there are many singers in this world but only a few leave you feeling something @@aekelly
My wife and family have had the worst year of our collective lives. My wife of 56 years has been battling cancer. Just when we thought she could ring the bell, they found they didn’t get it all. More surgery, chemo etc. when I heard this I was so move I actually sobbed. Not just because of how beautifully she sang it but the meaningful way she stressed the lyrics. God bless you Sidney for lifting us up when every day seems to be filled with more disappointments. This will help us think about “Tomorrow”. Just beautiful !!! Now I can face tomorrow.
Hey Tim. I have watched this video twice now within 20 minutes after circling through all her BGT performances. Absolutely beautiful, and I am definitely experiencing your same reaction to this video. My Dad was recently diagnosed was cancer, and I can say that I was moved by her performance in a relatable way. This song is a sign of hope, and I wish your wife, your family, and you the best of luck through this battle. Stay strong. You all got this! Also, I would recommend watching her final performance of “Somewhere over the Rainbow,” if you haven’t yet. Her cover of “Tomorrow,” is also on streaming platforms.
I Love this Lady. I was smiling and crying at the same time. When life get tuff we hope tomorrow will bring peace, Love, and Happiness. Great performance ❤
I agree. She started off sotto voce (literally in Italian 'under the voice', but generally regarded as a quiet voice) and went through the gears and then back again at the end to sotto voce. I really like that song, one that I have known for around 40 years since I first watched the musical 'Annie' when I was a child. I have never heard a version like it. All great singers put their stamp on songs. If she can do that with 'Tomorrow', what can she do with other classics?
What a waste of a golden buzzer. Sydnie Christmas is a proffesional singer, already been in starlight express and lazurus, her intro was so fake, shes also on spotify with her music. Anyone who googles her name can find this out. So surley the judges mist have known this!! Bgt is fake and obviously fixed. They gave the golden buzzer to a pro instead of someone that actually needed it. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I'm 90, and in 1965 we went to see a promising young singer appearing at a West Side Cleveland small night club. Just like Syndie, she had the same quirky, funny, yet humble style. But when she started to sing, we were astounded by her amazing voice. We listened her for dozens of successful years, for she was Barbra Streisand. I had the same feeling with Miss Christmas. BTW, I'm 91, now. Thanks for all the good wishes!
I'm 56 and immediately thought of Barbra also. The rapport she has with the audience, coupled with the uncanny ability to immediately soulshift into the very character that needs to sing that song, as well her honest and very expressive eyes . . . this is what they both share.
She turned a kids musical song into a full blown tragedy adult musical song. She has a voice people wish they had. She is absolutely beautiful, and she has a personality that is infectious. I hope she does well and I cannot wait to see more of her on the show.
Oh my days WAW, what an amazing voice she has, best rendition of this song I've ever heard, had goosebumps the minute she started singing. I so hope she wins xx ❤
Incredible powerhouse voice. She truly deserved the golden buzzer. But can we talk about the gold confetti? How she scooped some up and placed in her pockets for a keepsake? It so touched my heart.
That was one of the things I noticed as well. Her pocketing some of the confetti. Just taking it all in and keeping a little something special to remember this time in her life. Just wonderful. I wish her tremendous success
Run and cling on to Jesus that's the only way to get rid of it. I was in the same boat, tried to end my life twice and the Lord saved and delivered me. Haven't struggled with it since. Depression is a demonic spirit that only the Lord can rid you off. Seek the Lord's face. I'm praying for you ❤
Yea and Simon hates this song but did u see his eyes light up as she had a great voice and if she does get a record deal I hope she get someone else to sign her
This article was interesting Sheep. She has even appeared on BGT as a child in 2007. Cowell knew her name and knew she was a professional singer you SHEEP. Britain's Got Talent in fix row as Gold Buzzer act Sydnie Christmas revealed to be musical theatre performer who's starred in shows around the world
The thing that gets me about this performance is that she makes all the right choices at every point. She gets the right tone, mood, rise, fall. It's not just technically perfect, it's a brilliant interpretation.
Most accurate comment here. She sang the greatest version of this song imo possible. There's not one thing, even subtle, that would make this song better imo.
Thank you, Sydnie. I'm going through a lot right now. I was assaulted and thrown off a 15ft balcony. I have 2 fractures in my foot and a L1 wedge compression fracture in my back. You have lifted my spirits and touched me to keep moving forward, that the sun will come out tomorrow. God bless you and thanks again! 🤗
Hang in there, and best wishes for your recovery. I have an inkling of what you are going through. I had bilateral femur fractures, fractures of the left tibia and fibula, and a pulmonary embolism.
I’m so sorry for what you’ve been thru. I hope that the idiot(s) who assaulted you are in prison. Sending you a virtual hug and wishing you a speedy recovery.❤️
Im a 60 year old highway worker. Just got off work and my wife sent this to me. What I'm trying to figure out is who's been cutting onions in my vehicle? Seriously, teared me up. This took me COMPLETELY off guard and I am so delighted to have experienced this diamond! 🇺🇸⚔️🇬🇪
Yes , so much bull in music - she is rare . Praying that she stays strong without the bull … bless them I will look out my window facing the moon reflection of light for Christmas
I totally agree... her amazing personality cannot be hidden it flows out freely for all to see ...she is genuinely a precious gem that needs to shine...I don't normally like show tunes but her rendition felt more like a world wide #1 hit!! I could listen to her all day long..may God Bless her on her musical journey thru life...Karl from Canada
Overwhelmed with emotions and agreed with Amanda that this was the best version of this song. She took an overplayed song for most people and turned it into a masterpiece!
Wow! I heard this song for the first time in a movie and on my playlist but this version?🔥🔥🔥…. And Sydnie’s personality?🥺 lovable and so free spirited🥺❤️
And she couldn't believe the genuine reaction from the audience or what the judges were saying. I hope we see her a lot more after BGT ... on television, film, stage ... I also hope she has a successful recording career.
The kaleidoscope of emotions in her singing - you got the sense of her trying to be strong, trying to be optimistic and to keep hope, and at one point in the song it was like her heart broke and she let out the depths of pain of this character.....absolutely brilliant.
Who else has watched this over 10 times already??!! Let's Have It!! Edit: Thank you all for the likes and comments! Keep sending your love Sydnie's way!
She made her debut in London (not west end) as one of the lead voices in Lazarus, featuring the music of David Bowie, at the King's Cross Theatre and in 2019 she landed a job in Germany (not west end) starring in Starlight Express, an Andrew Lloyd Webber production. Facts are Important
OMG! I’m so glad I saw this! I was thinking that she’d make a funny comedian, but then she opened her mouth and sang… and she’s AMAZING! There are no words! 🙌🏼🤩
A star is born!!! She deserves the West End and Broadway! Absolutely amazing energy, personality, and pipes to match!! She’s a rare gem. Love her so much
nice comment because you said the very things I was thinking about! She certainly has a smashing voice! What a gift... she is literally a walking, live pipes!
She has that old-style fuller range - she can really belt things out and make each note clear. Seemed like mature vocals. As if she's been breathing fresh alpine air all her life. She's wonderful.
A face you could fall in love with. A personality that knocks you over and a voice that lifts you up. Surely there must be people in the Musical industry who would give this talented lady a break.
Apart from she dont deserve the golden buzzer as shes professional and shes already made west end and shes on spotify. Her intro was a complete lie bgt is so fake 😂
@nebelland8355 my post was basically about bgt using the golden buzzer on a proffesional singer thats the 2nd time they done that. I dunno i used to like the show but it seems a bit fixed and fake now, shes a really good singer yes! It had tears to my eyes i loved the performance.
She's got me in floods of tears. I've never cried at a BGT act in a long long time. I thought she was going to be a comic when she came on, but caught me off guard. Well deserved, you girl, are going very VERY far. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yeah I think that was healing. I was at the pool. That was an incredible version so perfectly done. It will inspire many others to recreate other classics. She is a game changer in the industry. ❤,👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
It was like another Susan Boyle audition. Totally unexpected and a tear jerker! I still cry when I watch Susan's audition, and I've probably watched it over a dozen times. I hope this young lady gets her dream to star in a West End musical.
She's aware she's good, but the look at 5:21 when she steps back to see the reaction of the crowd just goes to show she doesn't know how good she really is. I love that look of surprised wonder. She was amazing!
She was also really nervous at first you could tell by her breathing and once she gets comfortable she takes a deep breathe and kills it from then on our.
She told a story that has been told a hundred times over but did it in a way that made it feel new and fresh! Not many performers can do that but that's a testament to this young womens talent.
Same. Everyone on RUclips overhypes some singers if they're just good. But Sydnie Christmas really is amazing. She should never work in that gym again. I hope she finds really good management.
I have never heard a more beautiful rendition of Tomorrow in my entire life, and my favorite singer has sung this song. From her humor, to her humility, and the *incredible* level of talent she possesses…. The control, the story she told, the EMOTION she conveys. I really hope her entire life changes. Sydnie deserves it all. ❤️🫂
Hands down absolutely the best version of that song ever made, she damn well deserves not only the Golden buzzer but for the world to hear her voice. Absolutely brilliant version of that song I DO want to hear more.
Am I the only one who's listened to this multiple times? I think I've listened about 10 times! The quality of her voice and the feeling she imbues it with is what makes this rendition so special.
From America, I’ve watched her every day since it posted. I’ve sung over 3,000 solos (not in show business, in churches), and singing live that many times, I’m blown away by every single nuance of musical and vocal choice she made, not to mention her presentation and stage presence, and all in such a hugely important audition as BGT, she far exceeded in a single performance what most only could dream about. What a genuinely lovely, endearing human being.
Her version is so serene and magical. It's as if she's telling her life story, full of emotions, control and soulful. A well-deserved golden buzzer. Congrats, Ms. Christmas. 👏🎉
She has it all from the humbleness, to the personality, to the charm, to the humor, to the beauty and on top of all of that, THE VOICE! God please look over this woman and we all pray that she's taken very good care of. She deserves all the accolades that will come her way.
If she doesn't have 'IT', nobody has! She made 'Tomorrow' a totally brand new song, like an artist painting a true masterpiece on an oh so, ordinary piece of canvas. It makes me wonder what she did with the song at 4 years of age. She's also a real entertainer, and I believe there is so much more to Sydnie, than what we've just experienced. She has that ability (truly creative) to make something out of nothing.💝💖💝
41 year old hip hop head here and never did I think I would be touched like this. The sound of suffering with a glimmer of hope in the sound. Who is cutting onions at this time.
Sydnie Christmas has so many things going for her they are hard to number. Her voice is golden. Her personality is genuine and inspiring. And her version of "Tomorrow" absolutely moved my soul. All the best to you, Ms. Sydnie. All the best.
She reminded me the way that Judy Garland or Liza Minnelli used to sing. She putted her whole heart and soul to the song. There are lots of good voices,but not everybody can do something like that.
@@tommytalache1156 Yes! I was looking for this comment. Not taking away from her performance but Jimmie Herrod sang a v similar version of it on America's Got Talent 3 years ago in front of Simon too, got the golden buzzer and had Simon say "that's not my least favourite song anymore"
My God, I just love her…her person, her voice…and that audition and cover was breathtaking enough to watch it OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! SO DESERVING of that golden buzzer
Sydnie, these 3 minutes will surely change your life. Please, please, please, remain as genuine, pure and lovely as you were when that Golden Buzzer hit. Your reaction was pure and warranted. Do not ever change...Be You...Let's Have It !
What I loved is that you expect a huge loud last note, held on for as long as one can.. And instead, she showed incredible control, and pulled back, and softly delivered that note. Everyone has hear that song a million times, but she really made me feel the words. Her personality is fun and sweet
Fully agree, was expecting this big finish but in true style to the way she delivered the song she did that amazingly full of emotion and hopeful fitting landing of the last word. She didn't follow the norm, she followed her heart and that was amazing
I have watched this over and over! I want to bless Sydnie with a blessing of cover and protection. May God Bless her and keep her safe in her pursuit of singing and bring a smile to people. This girl is totally awesome! I was frozen on first seeing this and watching Simons expression! I just love this gal so much! Wow! "Let's Have It!"
I have watched this several times already, it's not just her incredible vocals but also her fantastic personality. Watch her eyes looking around the theatre apparently making contact with the audience on each level and each corner ensuring full contact with her audience. An amazing performance and a well deserved golden buzzer.😅
@michaelcaffari3997 I have watched it so many times. It is my favorite right now. She was just so perfect in so many ways, and funny. I'm sure it would be a joy to know her.
Her eye movements are so telling. I believe she looks several times at Simon, looking for his reactions. Just before she sings, it’s like “I’m in it now……..let’s bring it!!
I wake up with this song going through my head and I have to listen to it…over and over and over again!!! Her voice combined with her presence and natural joyous humor are absolutely beautiful and amazing!!! So happy she won! ❤
She belongs in the theater. Her stage presence is almost as phenomenal as her voice.
Right??
Absolutely needs to be on stage!
@@alid0228 She has been on stage in musicals and stage school. Shes still very good.
Not just very good, excellent.
I agree! Her talent should not be overlooked!
That is the most sophisticated, adult version of Tomorrow I’ve ever heard! STUNNING!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
exactly what I thought. Love it this way.
Like Simon I never much liked that song but I do now.
Thank you for writing exactly what I was thinking, and the "adult version" of the song, minus the curly-headed girl and obediently cute dog (which were fine for the musical) is a completely different experience. Sydnie made it so. When they enhanced the Golden Buzzer with "Over the Rainbow" I connected Sydnie to Judy Garland at 17 in _The Wizard of Oz_ Her performance allowed the viewer to think of the song as portraying a kid yearning to fulfill her dreams but also (and this became clear as Garland continued to sing the song to the end of her life) to hear the unsure questioning by an adult of whether reaching the end of the rainbow is actually possible. Similarly, Sydnie takes a rather simple and shallow anthem to sticktoitiveness on a child's level and turns it into thoughtful reflection on the trials that an adult facing some new challenge has already survived.
There was also never a dull moment because of the control Simon mentioned. I never knew what to expect from her voice next but there was never anything static or mushy.

Adult version😂😂😂
Agree it was awesome.
Not sure what I enjoyed more... her voice or her personality. Both are incredible.
Beautiful personality❤
Brilliantly put.
Yes, I too was in love with her after the first time I enjoyed this.
Have to admit she seems to be a good person.

That was the first time I could take this song serious. Before today I hated it, too.
Characterizing people sharing their story as a "sob story" if they've faced challenges is really cheap.
Say that louder. People who have faced no serious challenge in this life seems to have no emotions. Sometimes moving people with emotions is more powerful than just singing, there are many singers in this world but only a few leave you feeling something @@aekelly
Your comment is brilliant
The best part of her voice is in her eyes, she tells you the story of the song and her own story, simultaneously, with her eyes.
Damn!!! Not only did she sang the hell out of this song, she made it her own, and brought a classic up-to-date. Very deserving of the golden buzzer!!!
Actually that Marissa Wallace version of Tomorrow.
@olyseespotrun8799 i dont think so. Yes she sings beatifully, but the core of interpretation still bekong to Marisha Wallace.
i still much prefer her singing it and I love the last note. I feel the way sydney sang it had more heart and more of an impact.
@@lilikkrismantoro2027and Sydnie was gracious enough to say so in interview with Loraine.
I bet she will win. Congrats Sydney Christmas

Her personality alone is a golden buzzer. I'd be happy every day if I had a friend with that personality
... or much better, a girlfriend!
She is annoying and sounds like she's from a council estate.
😮😭❤
Absolutely agree.
I came back to just watch her humour at the beginning. Lovely woman.
When they say you have to make the song your own, she did just that. I have never heard a better version.
Absolutely beautiful; love how the word “tomorrow” always sounded unique EVERY TIME!❤. Listened over and over…
And it's not even close. You will probably never hear better.

An interesting and valid comparison!
She reminds me a little bit of Judy Garland and Zooey Deschanel too. Zooey’s humor, Judy’s pathos. A voice all her own.
I hope her next song on BGT is somewhere over the rainbow as it is in the same vocal range of her voice
She turned a kids musical song into a full blown tragedy adult musical song. She has a voice people wish they had. She is absolutely beautiful, and she has a personality that is infectious.
I hope she does well and I cannot wait to see more of her on the show.

@lifeislife7070 YES!!!!!
Incredible powerhouse voice. She truly deserved the golden buzzer. But can we talk about the gold confetti? How she scooped some up and placed in her pockets for a keepsake? It so touched my heart.
I think they give the Golden Buzzer winners an acrylic box full of the gold confetti. At least they do on AGT and I think BGT follows the same format.

Run and cling on to Jesus that's the only way to get rid of it. I was in the same boat, tried to end my life twice and the Lord saved and delivered me. Haven't struggled with it since. Depression is a demonic spirit that only the Lord can rid you off. Seek the Lord's face. I'm praying for you ❤
Amen
❤❤❤
Much love and hugs sent to you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amen
How many people have fallen in love with this girl? OMG , gorgeous, warmth , personality, just lovely ….wishing her much success…from America.
She is wonderful!! She needs a record deal!
Yea and Simon hates this song but did u see his eyes light up as she had a great voice and if she does get a record deal I hope she get someone else to sign her
This article was interesting Sheep. She has even appeared on BGT as a child in 2007. Cowell knew her name and knew she was a professional singer you SHEEP. Britain's Got Talent in fix row as Gold Buzzer act Sydnie Christmas revealed to be musical theatre performer who's starred in shows around the world
She's freaking ADORABLE. Would like to see her in an interview.
I adore her!!! We just witnessed a star being born huh? 💜💜💜
Always coming back here whenever i need to hear something so beautiful and effortlessly brought out. Who's here for more than once?
Moi. She is really something.
Seriously, me also. Her album is coming out at the beginning of October
A lot of times ... 20 or 30 and I will continue to listen to her 🥰
Every day I listen…
The thing that gets me about this performance is that she makes all the right choices at every point. She gets the right tone, mood, rise, fall. It's not just technically perfect, it's a brilliant interpretation.
Most accurate comment here. She sang the greatest version of this song imo possible. There's not one thing, even subtle, that would make this song better imo.
And the more brilliant part about it is.. she is just being herself. =)
She faked it thru the song like she didn't like the song. Took her 3 minutes to use her voice finally
She makes me angry bc she's so F'N amazing!
Thank you, Sydnie. I'm going through a lot right now. I was assaulted and thrown off a 15ft balcony. I have 2 fractures in my foot and a L1 wedge compression fracture in my back. You have lifted my spirits and touched me to keep moving forward, that the sun will come out tomorrow. God bless you and thanks again! 🤗
Hang in there, and best wishes for your recovery. I have an inkling of what you are going through. I had bilateral femur fractures, fractures of the left tibia and fibula, and a pulmonary embolism.
I believe that too. It’s how you get up after a fall
I’m so sorry for what you’ve been thru. I hope that the idiot(s) who assaulted you are in prison. Sending you a virtual hug and wishing you a speedy recovery.❤️
Tomorrow will be better for those who believe
Womp womp
If 2024 doesn't end with a Sydnie Christmas Christmas album, we will truly be in the darkest timeline.
Love this ❤
Sydnie Christmas Christmas album. I love it.❤
A Very Sydnie Christmas
This comment is underrated
🤣🤣🤣
I have watched this a ridiculous number of times. I'm still in awe of her spirit / energy / voice.
She made me laugh, then she made me cry at the same time, genius, girl.
Same
Me too
Same here!
iam not alone ..hufft
Indeed!
Her tone, technique, forward placement and control is absolutely stunning. A throughly deserved golden buzzer
Im a 60 year old highway worker. Just got off work and my wife sent this to me. What I'm trying to figure out is who's been cutting onions in my vehicle? Seriously, teared me up. This took me COMPLETELY off guard and I am so delighted to have experienced this diamond! 🇺🇸⚔️🇬🇪
Those damn onions!!!!🤣
Your wife sent you onions. That's so sweet of her. You gotta thank her. :D
I'm a 60 year old welding inspector, and I feel the same.
Yes , so much bull in music - she is rare . Praying that she stays strong without the bull … bless them
I will look out my window facing the moon reflection of light for Christmas
Stay safe your doing grand jobx
I could watch this a million times, and as soon as Sydnie collapses to her knees, I still cry like it's the first time I've seen it!
She had me won over before she even started singing. Now, I'm absolutely excited to see her in the spotlight.
Me too! My first impression was "what a sweetheart!!!"
Absolutely!!
I agree one thousand and ten percent with you!
I totally agree... her amazing personality cannot be hidden it flows out freely for all to see ...she is genuinely a precious gem that needs to shine...I don't normally like show tunes but her rendition felt more like a world wide #1 hit!! I could listen to her all day long..may God Bless her on her musical journey thru life...Karl from Canada
She can literally be anything she wants to be! She can be a comedian, actress, singer, anything! She is amazing!!
Agreed! What a stunning person
Overwhelmed with emotions and agreed with Amanda that this was the best version of this song. She took an overplayed song for most people and turned it into a masterpiece!
Well said! Thank you for expressing that so accurately.
I agree, that's what I was trying to say lol xx
I've always hated Tomorrow. This rendition brought me to tears. It was just beyond moving.
100%
Wow! I heard this song for the first time in a movie and on my playlist but this version?🔥🔥🔥…. And Sydnie’s personality?🥺 lovable and so free spirited🥺❤️
I have a feeling The West End will be kicking down her door. That was the most beautiful version of 'Tomorrow" I have ever heard.
🤔 Nope
@thedesolateone8260 you've heard one better?
I believe she's performed on cruise ships before but she amazing!!
Why “nope”?
She’s already a musical theatre performer, she was in Starlight Express in Germany
"Thank you so much for screaming for me" what an absolute humble and genuine comment! Your a legend girl!
Yes, I found that comment so heartfelt and touching. It warmed my heart.
And she couldn't believe the genuine reaction from the audience or what the judges were saying. I hope we see her a lot more after BGT ... on television, film, stage ... I also hope she has a successful recording career.
ABSOLUTELY!
@genesis554 Let's ave it?
Her disbelief of her getting that golden buzzer is what breaks me every time. Can watch it over and over again.
Same here. She is utterly astounding. Never has any singer on BGT or any talent show for that matter had such an impact on me.
Me too! Best of luck for her future bc she sure has one heck of a talent!!!!!!!
No shame, I cry every time.
I can’t stop watching either! 🥺🥺🥺
The kaleidoscope of emotions in her singing - you got the sense of her trying to be strong, trying to be optimistic and to keep hope, and at one point in the song it was like her heart broke and she let out the depths of pain of this character.....absolutely brilliant.
Who else has watched this over 10 times already??!! Let's Have It!!
Edit: Thank you all for the likes and comments! Keep sending your love Sydnie's way!
Iam not counting ❤
Im probably closer to 25 at this point
Meeeeeee
🖐️🖐️
I'm on Loop. Not counting
Not many people can sing with that kind of emotion. Beautiful
Emotion, control, clarity, note accuracy and those low notes.... oh my word. Just incredible vocals
I’ve now watched this an unhealthy number of times. Absolutely stunning. Let’s have it!!!
It can't be unhealthy if you enjoy it that much - if it makes you feel good, watch it some more.
I'm on number 10 views
Many many times
watched nth times!
Same lmfaooo
I can't help but think the writer of this song had this exact interpretation in their head as they wrote it! Absolutely BRILLIANT!!
HAVING AN AD RIGHT BEFORE HER FINAL NOTE IS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL
Tip of the day, put a hyphen between t and u in youtube and you rid it.
@@cognoscenti_ab what?...is that a joke?
@@munci6474 No. Try it!
@@munci6474 No. Try it!
The algorithm doesn't know the meaning of 'commercial break', only a time stamp. "And the secret of life is..."
This woman has got it all...beauty, humor, vocals, confidence. Golden buzzer well deserved. ❤
she’s a professional singer and has performed in the west end. show is a fix
She made her debut in London (not west end) as one of the lead voices in Lazarus, featuring the music of David Bowie, at the King's Cross Theatre and in 2019 she landed a job in Germany (not west end) starring in Starlight Express, an Andrew Lloyd Webber production.
Facts are Important
@@BastardSquad Regardless, always one in the Croud. Must be a Truppy supporter.😇😇
@@darkmyble2006 So what???????
@@halhenrygTruppy? I'm British.
Loved how,she picked a children's song to project that vulnerability anyone would feel in her place. Brilliant.
She’s the complete package, talent, humility, looks, humor, desire, heart, everything!
OMG! I’m so glad I saw this! I was thinking that she’d make a funny comedian, but then she opened her mouth and sang… and she’s AMAZING! There are no words! 🙌🏼🤩
The way she sang it made me believe in the lyrics!
Yep,that’s what great singer make!
A star is born!!! She deserves the West End and Broadway! Absolutely amazing energy, personality, and pipes to match!! She’s a rare gem. Love her so much
nice comment because you said the very things I was thinking about!
She certainly has a smashing voice!
What a gift... she is literally a walking, live pipes!
Well said 👍🏼
You know you're good when you can make someone love a song that they hate ❤
She really makes me believe that tomorrow could be better than today. And just to keep going at it.
❤❤❤
Perseverance furthers.
It's like hearing the song for the first time
this is the most appropriate comment to this performance. this is the first time we're really hearing this song.
That's exactly how I felt! Chills!
It's like the original was a poor cover of this version.
@@avalerionbass to be fair the original was a stage version of a cartoon child character. Annie is not exactly a show with depth or subtlety.
This was one heck of an arrangement that changed the song. Wow!
She has that old-style fuller range - she can really belt things out and make each note clear. Seemed like mature vocals. As if she's been breathing fresh alpine air all her life. She's wonderful.
Sydnie's voice is absolutely gorgeous....but I'm even more in love with her personality!! What an amazing young lady!!
A face you could fall in love with. A personality that knocks you over and a voice that lifts you up. Surely there must be people in the Musical industry who would give this talented lady a break.
Jane Seymour clone.
@@LayuthI had not thought of that, but yes absolutely!
Sonia Fowler.
@@jenjones90 Sounds like her.
Well said. 💯
Finally we found one who really deserves the golden buzzer, so talented, perfect voice and star dust detected
Apart from she dont deserve the golden buzzer as shes professional and shes already made west end and shes on spotify. Her intro was a complete lie bgt is so fake 😂
@@Djbangerz74 really? I dnt really know about it. But she’s a great singer
@Djbangerz74 She probably doesn’t have an engagement at West End right now and does other jobs.
@nebelland8355 my post was basically about bgt using the golden buzzer on a proffesional singer thats the 2nd time they done that. I dunno i used to like the show but it seems a bit fixed and fake now, shes a really good singer yes! It had tears to my eyes i loved the performance.
@@Djbangerz74you do know literally everyone can upload to Spotify 🤡
She's got me in floods of tears. I've never cried at a BGT act in a long long time. I thought she was going to be a comic when she came on, but caught me off guard. Well deserved, you girl, are going very VERY far. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Same here 😊❤
Same here, from across the pond!! ❤
Yeah I think that was healing. I was at the pool. That was an incredible version so perfectly done. It will inspire many others to recreate other classics. She is a game changer in the industry. ❤,👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Very very far, I agree! 👍🏾
It was like another Susan Boyle audition. Totally unexpected and a tear jerker!
I still cry when I watch Susan's audition, and I've probably watched it over a dozen times.
I hope this young lady gets her dream to star in a West End musical.
This is the most beautiful rendition/performance ive ever heard of tomorrow
She's aware she's good, but the look at 5:21 when she steps back to see the reaction of the crowd just goes to show she doesn't know how good she really is. I love that look of surprised wonder. She was amazing!
She was also really nervous at first you could tell by her breathing and once she gets comfortable she takes a deep breathe and kills it from then on our.
The two lower notes were so perfect, pronunciation, technique, total vocalist....... fantastic. I will be following her career for sure!!!
The way she said "Away" at the end sounded like an "Amen" followed by that perfect, reverent silence. We were all in awe. Let's 'ave it!
She told a story that has been told a hundred times over but did it in a way that made it feel new and fresh! Not many performers can do that but that's a testament to this young womens talent.
Nov 2024, just had to watch this again and am tearing up all over again. Greatest BGT moment.
She made that song her signature song and she’s an absolute winner no matter what happens. What a voice!!! 💕
This is the first time I’ve been genuinely blown away by a performance in a long long time…
Hi
Right blown away..
Same. Everyone on RUclips overhypes some singers if they're just good. But Sydnie Christmas really is amazing. She should never work in that gym again. I hope she finds really good management.
I have never heard a more beautiful rendition of Tomorrow in my entire life, and my favorite singer has sung this song. From her humor, to her humility, and the *incredible* level of talent she possesses…. The control, the story she told, the EMOTION she conveys. I really hope her entire life changes.
Sydnie deserves it all. ❤️🫂
👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Hands down absolutely the best version of that song ever made, she damn well deserves not only the Golden buzzer but for the world to hear her voice. Absolutely brilliant version of that song I DO want to hear more.
Am I the only one who's listened to this multiple times? I think I've listened about 10 times! The quality of her voice and the feeling she imbues it with is what makes this rendition so special.
Yes. With 10billion people on the planet, you must be the ONLY person who's ever watched it more than once. 🙄
Me too
@@dylshkibabscarastic
No bro… you are definitely not. And thanks for asking, because I thought I’m doing something weird. Now at least I know I’m not the only one 😂❤️
@@claireryan2641 Glad I'm not alone!
From America, I’ve watched her every day since it posted. I’ve sung over 3,000 solos (not in show business, in churches), and singing live that many times, I’m blown away by every single nuance of musical and vocal choice she made, not to mention her presentation and stage presence, and all in such a hugely important audition as BGT, she far exceeded in a single performance what most only could dream about. What a genuinely lovely, endearing human being.
Shut up
Her version is so serene and magical. It's as if she's telling her life story, full of emotions, control and soulful. A well-deserved golden buzzer. Congrats, Ms. Christmas. 👏🎉
I can easily it was a Happy Christmas Audition
A whole different feeling from when I heard this song as a child ! Amazing Sydnie! One of the BEST GOLDEN BUZZERS EVER!
she was born for that, it's in her eyes.
She performed that song in such an original way it was hardly recognizable. It was beautiful, just incredible, perfect!
I would listen to anything she puts out. That was the best rendition of this song I've ever heard. She's a STAR!
Agree. So good it is like a different song.
@@brendar9363 Exactly why I liked it, a lot, she made it seem sooo unique and great.
She has it all from the humbleness, to the personality, to the charm, to the humor, to the beauty and on top of all of that, THE VOICE! God please look over this woman and we all pray that she's taken very good care of. She deserves all the accolades that will come her way.
Amen
If she doesn't have 'IT', nobody has! She made 'Tomorrow' a totally brand new song, like an artist painting a true masterpiece on an oh so, ordinary piece of canvas. It makes me wonder what she did with the song at 4 years of age. She's also a real entertainer, and I believe there is so much more to Sydnie, than what we've just experienced. She has that ability (truly creative) to make something out of nothing.💝💖💝
41 year old hip hop head here and never did I think I would be touched like this. The sound of suffering with a glimmer of hope in the sound. Who is cutting onions at this time.
The change from being a funny comedian to deliver such a hard-controlled vocal within seconds is out of this world.
Big facts ❤
More proof she BELONGS in the theatre.
I had this playing in the background and before the singing started thought we were going to get a comedian who sounded a bit like Catherine Tate!
that nose on the mic...her expression..she just goes away...I hope she sings forever.
Sydnie Christmas has so many things going for her they are hard to number. Her voice is golden. Her personality is genuine and inspiring. And her version of "Tomorrow" absolutely moved my soul. All the best to you, Ms. Sydnie. All the best.
She should be in some musicals. Even her face is super expressive, she feels every words while singing.
She already has been… for years… on the West End. Don’t believe the fake amateur backstory. Look her up. She’s a professional.
@@christinaluna713 NO...she hasn t get better informed before hating around!
I love how she took a handful of the gold confetti.
That wasn't simply a rendition of a song, it was a Beautiful *_"WORK OF ART"_*
I love this girl, her brilliant personality, her beautiful face, and fantastic voice
She didn’t just sing that song, she performed it.
Exactly. I made a similar comment I needed to delete after reading this.
She LIVED it!!!!
She reminded me the way that Judy Garland or Liza Minnelli used to sing. She putted her whole heart and soul to the song. There are lots of good voices,but not everybody can do something like that.
A new Star is born! The pain of an old soul and the power of the young woman - Brilliant!
Hands down the most amazing rendition of 'Tomorrow' I have ever heard! Omgoodness! I want to hear more!❤❤❤❤
Jimmie Herod also killed it on AGT USA 🇺🇸
@@tommytalache1156 Yes! I was looking for this comment. Not taking away from her performance but Jimmie Herrod sang a v similar version of it on America's Got Talent 3 years ago in front of Simon too, got the golden buzzer and had Simon say "that's not my least favourite song anymore"
One of the best singers in a TV talent show EVER !!! She should already have platinum selling albums. Love her so much.
This version would be perfect for a movie.
The way she sang it makes me believe there is still tomorrow where there are hopes and loves... 😊
With a voice like that, I think she could make you believe anything
You didnt believe before she sang that the is hope and love?
This girl pierced my heart with the last word...... "away". BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL.
My God, I just love her…her person, her voice…and that audition and cover was breathtaking enough to watch it OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! SO DESERVING of that golden buzzer
Sydnie, these 3 minutes will surely change your life. Please, please, please, remain as genuine, pure and lovely as you were when that Golden Buzzer hit. Your reaction was pure and warranted. Do not ever change...Be You...Let's Have It !
What I loved is that you expect a huge loud last note, held on for as long as one can..
And instead, she showed incredible control, and pulled back, and softly delivered that note. Everyone has hear that song a million times, but she really made me feel the words. Her personality is fun and sweet
Agreed and that last note is a bit cringe and always falls pitchy. I'm glad she didn't do it.
Fully agree, was expecting this big finish but in true style to the way she delivered the song she did that amazingly full of emotion and hopeful fitting landing of the last word. She didn't follow the norm, she followed her heart and that was amazing
While I loved her singing, this is the moment I fell in love with this version.
I have watched this over and over! I want to bless Sydnie with a blessing of cover and protection. May God Bless her and keep her safe in her pursuit of singing and bring a smile to people. This girl is totally awesome! I was frozen on first seeing this and watching Simons expression! I just love this gal so much! Wow! "Let's Have It!"
This young lady really knows how to use her voice as an instrument. That was brilliant. West End and Broadway pay attention.
She's amazing! But I'm sure the West End already know who she is, she's been in Starlight Express! 🩷
@@Flamingo_family Thanks, I live thousands of miles away,.... so keep me posted.I will stay tuned here.
She is one of the most upbeat, positive, and refreshing contestants that I can ever remember to walk onto that stage.
I have watched this several times already, it's not just her incredible vocals but also her fantastic personality. Watch her eyes looking around the theatre apparently making contact with the audience on each level and each corner ensuring full contact with her audience. An amazing performance and a well deserved golden buzzer.😅
@michaelcaffari3997 I have watched it so many times. It is my favorite right now. She was just so perfect in so many ways, and funny. I'm sure it would be a joy to know her.
Her eye movements are so telling. I believe she looks several times at Simon, looking for his reactions. Just before she sings, it’s like “I’m in it now……..let’s bring it!!
I wake up with this song going through my head and I have to listen to it…over and over and over again!!! Her voice combined with her presence and natural joyous humor are absolutely beautiful and amazing!!! So happy she won! ❤
Without a doubt the most beautiful rendition of Tomorrow that I’ve ever heard. What a star!
Her audition is one of the most authentic and amazing performance. I hope she will be so very famous in the future.
