The lovely and expressive face, the adorable quirks, the ready and self-effacing wit, the ineffable charm, the commanding stage presence, the unique and rich vocal timbre, the softness, breadth, power, range, versatility and emotional charge of her oh so exquisite singing - the whole ribbon-tied Sydnie package: oh wow!
that usually comes later, when your brain gets a chance to function. but during her performances, the air gets sucked away from the room, from our lungs, leaving us speechless and spellbound. yes, she’s as complete and perfect as a package as it comes, bless her !
Three straight live performances on worldwide TV, and she nails all three. She is the Best pure vocalist I have ever seen on any talent show (IMO). A voice for the ages.
Sooooo effortless that she does that soooooo beautiful god given gift to entertain and draw her audience right in and have them on the edge of the seat's every time
I have been watching these agt,but and the voice for a long time and never have I been hit as hard by a singer as Sydney has captured my attention and the world's attention like she has. Just mind blowing talent
Voices , that are trained and cared for improve with age ,…..I always felt that Sarah Brightman was just like that , she was great in Phantom but she got better and better . Look after your voice Sydnie , you are going to have a superlative career and I am glad you decided the look they gave you in the semi , wasn’t you ….you look lovely with your hair down , framing your face …….I see Jane Seymour in your features . Good luck sweetie ❤❤❤
With someone like Sydnie, seeing her perform is a big part of the performance itself. She's using more than her voice to communicate, and it's very compelling.
I've heard a ton of great singers in my day, but I don't know that I've heard a voice that fills a room like hers. It's so dynamic and has incredible clarity. Can't imagine what it's like sitting in the arena.
@@YourOnlineSingingCoach She actually said in an interview, that when she left stage, she thought it was not good at all...can u imagine!!!...what a stressful situation...also...try to watch a few "old" songs from her: www.youtube.com/@sydniechristmasofficial, or when she was around 16: ruclips.net/video/hvx-iehrBgs/видео.html&ab_channel=sydc15love .I so feel that the richness, the beauti and this very deep expression was already there...without her understanding it 🥺💛🧡❤
Love her. She has a fantastic since of humor, too. Plus, can she ever sing. The audience locked onto her and won't let go. RIDE IT HIGH, SYDNEY. RIDE IT HIGH.
YAY! Stopped what I was doing when I saw this…. I love watching your videos because I feel like I learn so much about singing and the choices made…. It’s so cool to understand the mechanics of how I”m being lead on this vocal journey. Thanks so much!
I've watched almost every analysis and comments from vocal coaches, and yours was the best!🎉 Loved your technical analysis but your personal and emotional takes was the best! 👏👏👏
I am absolutely smitten with Sydnie's voice and persona. Watched her videos literally hundred of times now. I really enjoyed and appreciated your thoughtful and insightful analysis.
My comment is for the vocal coach . I’ve learned so much from her analysis. She s wonderful in her appreciation of the talent she is witnessing. The reasons for her obvious joy is fluently put into words that bring credit to her own talent.
This girl is so talented. It’s amazing the skill and range she shows us in these songs give’s me the chills. Together with her sparkling personality. She’s perfect for Musicals. Her expression and diversity, truly exceptional. How she owns those songs and you see her enjoying every second of it. Thanks for showing us this.
I loved all the different emotions in the Last "Can't" rising from hopeful , then steady to a slight determined forceful growl and a sweet relaxed "I". Beautiful. From hopeful to determined and finally in peace.
What a beautiful, likeable and passionate Lady... So wonderful face expressions and smile, amazing eyes showing all the passion she has for what she is doing.... And the singer was really good as well... 😉
THANK you for this third instalment for Sydnie! She produces the best when she works with the best! Your delight in her skills is great to watch too. More is on its way from her, now, too, the first performance likely the duet with Loren Allred, maybe next month: so deserved.
I absolutely love the way the person below my comment described Sydnie's magic. I have little to add except that I would follow her off a cliff like a lemming! I am mad for her and I have seen and heard all the greats ,many in person in my 77 years. I do want to say how much I adore your (Juliette?) commentary and critique. You are both kind and generous and absolutely on the money. You really know your stuff and you illuminate the performances with your know how. This was not my favorite of Sydnie's three performances, which is not to say I did love it. But you made me appreciate the dynamics intellectually and musically. I am moved by every note and word that comes out of her mouth, but I love knowing the reasons why. Other than she is just the rarest of talents.
This whole arrangement: It sounds like that great singer in the movie Greatest Showman that Hugh Jackman's character bet his life on to put on the stage. But not only the arrangement and delivery, lights, intensity, her voice, the whole thing. But also, that very first part of Over the Rainbow at 3:55 exactly there, "someday I wish upon a star, and wake up where the clouds are far behind me... ...... that's where you'll find me.... Somewhere over the rainbow, Skies are blue"..... THERE. That is not only the arangement from the Israel Hawaiian chap with the ukelele - but it is also a lot like the song "Never Enough"... listen to "The Greatest Showman Never Enough"😊 She is beautiful. She also has a Judy Garland vibe here and there.
I got a distinct Celine Dione feel when she hit the "that I heard of" in the beginning of the video. Then she morphs into a decidedly Lauren Allred belting of the tune. A good singer takes from other good singers in order to form who they want to be as an artist. The end result is originality.
... at the build-up to the finish, the orchestra has moved from a half-time feel to a double time feel, and she is climbing a ladder to that huge last belt. Then right when she gets there, the orchestra drops out and leaves you and your heart hanging only on the sound of her voice, and she holds it, and holds it, and holds it... and then lifts it up a half-step... and then you are floating in space for a moment, holding your breathe, and she catches you softly when you start to fall with that breathy "I" at the very end. And then you can see in her face a release of all the emotion she must be feeling, and more often than not it makes this crusty old bald guy have a pretty good sob. She's just spectacular. And your analysis here is the best I have seen of all the ones I have watched (which is all of them).
I went to Sydnie's album launch in London a few weeks ago and they had a question and answer session. I got to ask Sydnie how she had managed to hold her nerves to perform such perfect vocals on the live performances. She said that her nerves built up backstage watching everyone perform in front of her, as she was performing last in both the semi and the final. She said for both performances they had to virtually lift her and carry her onto the stage as she was frozen with fear. It was only focusing on the music that got her through. She was the most lovely person to talk to, was happy to chat after and take photos with. It was a magical evening - she's as lovely as she comes across in her performances. I hope you've had a chance to listen to her album, she's going to be performing 'Believe' at the Royal Variety Performance at the end of November so I hope you'll consider reacting to it, it's very James Bond and bound to be brilliant. I also love 'She used to be mine' on the album. I'd be interested to know how, as a singing coach, you train people to perform in such away that it makes others feel strong emotion, I've never cried so much when I listen to Sydnie sing.
Hi again, Juliet. Great analysis. This arrangement was made by Loren Allred (Never Enough) in a performance by Loren 4 months ago when she was on AGT Fantasy League. You had reacted to Never Enough previously, but I don’t think you reacted to this song when she sang it in the semifinals. Loren’s version is what you hear after Sydnie sings Tomorrow in her audition. Since she had only 3 days between the semifinal and the finals, BGT suggested she sing Loren’s version. Sydnie initially said no because Loren is her idol, but Loren not only approved it but also sent Sydnie a video of support. And after Sydnie won, she said her dream is to collaborate with Loren. Loren responded by offering to do a duet with her. Loren recently posted that she will be in London in early July to perform with Andrea Bocelli, so maybe they’ll get together during that time?
Thank you! And thanks for the back story, I love hearing this! Loren is a queen, and I love hearing that she gladly supported and encouraged Sydnie to use her version! 🩷
She is singing "My Way" tomorrow night at David Fosters birthday celebration in the Hollywood Bowl. She will be there with Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, Katherine McPhee and others. Her Instagram clip shows her rehearsing. Her quote "I'm a lucky lady to be in the same room with these incredible people." She is just so humble. She still doesn't fully believe how great she is. Please listen her album an let us know what you think!
I have followed Sidnie's journey along with many other reactors - by far yours is the most informative, captivating and genuine - thank you for so eloquently verbalising what so many of us feel as we listen to, nay experience, these remarkable performances. Do watch her reaction to the announcement of winning - the humility and grace she shows is both unsurprising and amazing.
What with all the dynamic contrasts, vibratos, note bendings, drawn out notes, money notes, crescendos and decrescendos, I am in a swoon - and that’s just from the vocal coach! Wow! ❤️
Love your reviews the best for "Syd's Decorations" to the songs. Sydnie at the end of that song, her vocal coach whispered " you nailed it girl" then later Syd told her I can finally pay you myself once a week. The next morning at the talk show when asked what she was going to get with the money she won, she said she was getting more vocal lesson from her coach, always learning is always growing.
I truly enjoy your reactions so much. I learn much from you, and enjoy your emotional reactions as well. This young woman has brought so much to the world already. Thank you for bringing het
Her interpretation of 3 classic songs were unique each time, to the point where they were almost 'original' performances. I was captivated each time and anticipating what she woudl do with each song. Incredible!!
Sometimes, after hitting a strong note, she turns her head and smiles. I like to imagine that she's thinking to herself .... Yup. Nailed it. Damn Skippy you nailed it. Spot on. Dead. Solid. Perfect. ❤
@@YourOnlineSingingCoach Watch closely and look for it. It's the same movement, she looks to the right, drops her head, just a little... and ... smiles. It's ... a delight to see. It's almost shy, so it isn't boastful. Just a quick moment of relief mixed with triumph. Adorable. ❤
Regarding those short, staccato notes and occasional longer ones, someone else compared them to raindrops. Now, every time I hear this performance, I feel those drops that presage a shower. ❤
Hi! I've watched your three analysis about Sydnei so far; "Tomorrow", "My Way" and this one ("Over the Rainbow") and three ones are highly recommended. I love her voice, expressiveness,..., and I keep my first opinion; she is mesmerizing. How much talent there is in the world!. Thank you for your explanations. Greetings 👏👋🎶
Thank you! Each one of these was a pleasure to watch. As I edited the reaction videos and watched Sydnie again and again, I only loved each performance more. 🎵🩷
I am neither a singer nor a voice scholar. I am in no position to judge Sydnie technically compared to other great singers, although it is obvious she is a great talent who has worked hard at her craft. But then great art is always about more than craft and technique. It's about communicating essential truths about the universal human condition in a way that engages us intellectually and emotionally. One of the most fundamental human needs is to be recognized for who we are and what we do. Obviously Sydnie made each of these powerful performances deeply personal- even changing the lyrics in Tomorrow and My Way- but she also, as made clear by the overwhelming response, tapped deeply into that almost universal desire to "be heard," as she said to Ant and Dec after her audition. We could identify with her- made even easier by how funny and engaging she is. I hope she has a long and successful career and it will be interesting, as her life experiences evolve, to see how she might perform these same songs in 5,10,15,20,30 years from now.
Sydnie Christmas has a few older releases out there. Somebody to Love is really quite good and so is For One Night Only. It shows her other sides of performing. What a find Sydnie is. Sydnie is like an oyster and when opened she reveals the most beautiful Mother-Of-Pearl any human has ever seen. Bravo!👍🌹❤️
Thanks for the early heads up and link on another site. I have enjoyed this beauty and her path. I hope we get more of her in the future. Nice find. Thanks again.
I know why she hasn't had a successful West End audition yet. Sydnie's style doesnt fit the "traditional" roles. But I have a feeling that she will het her moment in the theater soon with the way musicals are changing and exploring more expressive, conversational and evocative singing style. Sydnie's time is coming! I love her so much!
"Tomorrow" really caught my attention, you don't often see a woman with that powerful of a voice. Then "My Way" made that seem like a warm up song. Now "Over the Rainbow" take her talent up yet another notch. Makes me wish there was one more level in the competition and wonder how far she can go. I guess we will just have to wait for her first album. I'm sure it will be my favorite "Christmas" album !
If you watch the interview on the tv show. Sydnie says she uses Lorens version but the singing coach changed it enough to make it a bit different from LorenS version from AGT fantasy league. Loren also told her to do it and not worry. Both versions are amazing.loren is her idol as well
She connects with the mob, so to speak. Someone who had huge dreams working as someone serving people in s fitness center. Towels, laundry, customer service. Its like she connects with our childhood dreams and brings them to life. Whats not to like?
Amazing, Lovely, thoughtful reaction. I wonder, though, if Sydney could deliver this signature huge cresendo night after night in the West End/on Broadway.
@@YourOnlineSingingCoachas an older classically trained vocalist...I loved your critiques and explanations of dynamics. You know your stuff and I've subscribed. Thank you.
@@YourOnlineSingingCoach yes indeed ! And I was patiently waiting for your commentary on this one ! You seem to capture all the essence of a great vocalist and I love it about you !
I cut my teeth on musical theater, so many, many...many years ago. I have seen and heard many very talented performers. I have to say, right now, my three favorite are Lea Salonga, Loren Allred, and...Sydnie Christmas! Hands down!!!!!!
I was looking at the comments made and I seen Loren Allred video of her version of Some Where Over The Rainbow IMHO Sydnie is better! Sydie draws you in by all the the nuance's and the liberty of her phases of the lyrics. A lot of people are saying she should be performing in Broadway and Venues like that. I totally disagree with that. She should make her own album and tour the World! 👋👋😃
They suggested it for her, and she said no, that's Lauren's (Alford's) song, her idol. Somehow, Lauren found out and message her to use it. Lauren then sent her a tape of several versions they had tried. Sydnie said 99% of the song and arrangement were Lauren's.
Lost in Sydnie's spell, I've loved all your reactions and comments and subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much, Juliet. If I can advance a request... Sydnie declared that Tomorrow's arrangement is Marisha Wallace's and Over the Rainbow's arrangement is Loren Allred's. Both singers approved and publicly cheered Sydnie's performances. I would like to hear your comments for their versions. Comparing them with Sydnie if you like. Anyway thank you, Juliet.
Thought you should know sidnie has released a music video of Andrew lloyd webbers starlight express,she also has an album being released on 20th September and a uk tour in october. Sidnie won !!!
Yes, mystifying almost: maybe it's because she wants to be on the stage and not directly on the radio. Only, the stage was never yet opened for her.....looks like she's more open to the alternative too now. She's gonna go very far, now!
She is fantastic! Sadly, vocal talent and skill is a very small piece of what makes recording artists successful, in most cases. With that said, I think Sydnie has many exciting things ahead of her in her career!
You think that she can’t get stronger, and then Sydnie turns on that vocal afterburner in the end. Holly sh… And that last note is the equivalent of a negative G feeling.
How about this Audition dressed in rags rejected Song tomorrow Simon's most hated Song Semi final Better dressed did Audition My way Final Fantastically dressed Over the rainbow golden buzzer Tomorrow finally arived
Pleased for her n'all, but we've heard three short songs from her, and the hyperbole from the judges, amplified in these comments, is the most extreme and over-the-top hyperbole I've heard in the whole world of all time ever. I am literally on fire I'm so stoked. But I also think it's a little bit excessive. One factoid I saw was that 'Sydnie's triumph at BGT is the first ever by a woman without a dog'. Wow, she doesn't have a dog, doesn't that blow your mind? Well, as a matter of fact, no, since you ask. These reality talent shows are not really about talent, but they use the lives of ordinary people (who are inexpensive and easily manipulated) as story lines in a soapy syrupy drama, that on this occasion has cast the spotlight on the woman without a dog. How will she fare as a professional singer, competing for attention with other professional singers? Only time will tell. One thing she does have though is a great name that already includes the mandatory quirky spelling that helps to catch the public's attention. I can see her being an obvious choice for Christmas TV specials, obviously, cos the show titles write themselves; and also panto, a great seasonal tradition in the UK, and the only live theatre many people ever see, so they're easily pleased. So with that name and this repertoire, a great future awaits her, on the provincial panto circuit, for a couple of years at least. Or maybe she will be huge, who knows? I hear a big voice, I'm not sure I hear the great voice that other people seem to hear.
The lovely and expressive face, the adorable quirks, the ready and self-effacing wit, the ineffable charm, the commanding stage presence, the unique and rich vocal timbre, the softness, breadth, power, range, versatility and emotional charge of her oh so exquisite singing - the whole ribbon-tied Sydnie package: oh wow!
Beautifully said.
Oh goodness, I think you should be a reactor - love all these descriptors - and you’re spot on! 😊👍
holy moly!!...had to ask my dictionary for a few words ;-)...so beautifully said!!!...love from germany 💛
that usually comes later, when your brain gets a chance to function. but during her performances, the air gets sucked away from the room, from our lungs, leaving us speechless and spellbound. yes, she’s as complete and perfect as a package as it comes, bless her !
Three straight live performances on worldwide TV, and she nails all three. She is the Best pure vocalist I have ever seen on any talent show (IMO). A voice for the ages.
Yes, three for three, including song selection and strategy - no easy feat! So happy for her! 👍
Sooooo effortless that she does that soooooo beautiful god given gift to entertain and draw her audience right in and have them on the edge of the seat's every time
I have been watching these agt,but and the voice for a long time and never have I been hit as hard by a singer as Sydney has captured my attention and the world's attention like she has. Just mind blowing talent
Voices , that are trained and cared for improve with age ,…..I always felt that Sarah Brightman was just like that , she was great in Phantom but she got better and better .

One of the greatest singers of our time.
..... of any time.
How old are you? She is a great singer but I am not sure whether you can compare her to Barbara Streisand when she was in her prime.
What a magnificent vocalist - I absolutely loved each one of Sydnie’s performances ❤
With someone like Sydnie, seeing her perform is a big part of the performance itself. She's using more than her voice to communicate, and it's very compelling.
I've heard a ton of great singers in my day, but I don't know that I've heard a voice that fills a room like hers. It's so dynamic and has incredible clarity. Can't imagine what it's like sitting in the arena.
Love your reaction and analysis. Sydnie is a blessing.
Power of Liza, expressiveness of Jewel, emotional depth of Barbra, dynamics of Loren. Amazing talent...not just voice, but talent!
Sydnie is humble, down to earth simple person with the talent is as big as entire universe. Happy travels Sydnie and lets have it!!!❤
You did a great job- and you are a great teacher and communicator. It was a pleasure to hear you chronicle this amazing talented woman.
In addition to all of Sydnie's amazing vocal and entertainment talents she's also a rugby player. Talk about being versatile!
She can take any song and magicly upcycle it in her very own (high) way...I am so in awe...💞
Agree! 👍

Love her. She has a fantastic since of humor, too. Plus, can she ever sing. The audience locked onto her and won't let go. RIDE IT HIGH, SYDNEY. RIDE IT HIGH.
Great analysis and validation that Sydnie earned her win--fair and square. She deserves all the praise and attention. Hopefully, some doors will open.

@@YourOnlineSingingCoach Watch closely and look for it. It's the same movement, she looks to the right, drops her head, just a little... and ... smiles. It's ... a delight to see. It's almost shy, so it isn't boastful. Just a quick moment of relief mixed with triumph. Adorable. ❤
Finally! Thanks for the great review 🙂
Regarding those short, staccato notes and occasional longer ones, someone else compared them to raindrops. Now, every time I hear this performance, I feel those drops that presage a shower. ❤
Hi! I've watched your three analysis about Sydnei so far; "Tomorrow", "My Way" and this one ("Over the Rainbow") and three ones are highly recommended. I love her voice, expressiveness,..., and I keep my first opinion; she is mesmerizing. How much talent there is in the world!. Thank you for your explanations. Greetings 👏👋🎶
Thank you! Each one of these was a pleasure to watch. As I edited the reaction videos and watched Sydnie again and again, I only loved each performance more. 🎵🩷
I am neither a singer nor a voice scholar. I am in no position to judge Sydnie technically compared to other great singers, although it is obvious she is a great talent who has worked hard at her craft. But then great art is always about more than craft and technique. It's about communicating essential truths about the universal human condition in a way that engages us intellectually and emotionally. One of the most fundamental human needs is to be recognized for who we are and what we do. Obviously Sydnie made each of these powerful performances deeply personal- even changing the lyrics in Tomorrow and My Way- but she also, as made clear by the overwhelming response, tapped deeply into that almost universal desire to "be heard," as she said to Ant and Dec after her audition. We could identify with her- made even easier by how funny and engaging she is. I hope she has a long and successful career and it will be interesting, as her life experiences evolve, to see how she might perform these same songs in 5,10,15,20,30 years from now.
Great review as always x
Thank you! 🙏😊
Sydney is stuck in my head all day every day now OMG just sooooooo beautiful
Sydnie is very Special she is the complete package hands down!!
Sydnie Christmas has a few older releases out there. Somebody to Love is really quite good and so is For One Night Only. It shows her other sides of performing. What a find Sydnie is. Sydnie is like an oyster and when opened she reveals the most beautiful Mother-Of-Pearl any human has ever seen. Bravo!👍🌹❤️
Love the oyster analogy! I’ll have to check out some of her older releases.
Thanks for the early heads up and link on another site. I have enjoyed this beauty and her path. I hope we get more of her in the future. Nice find. Thanks again.
I know why she hasn't had a successful West End audition yet. Sydnie's style doesnt fit the "traditional" roles. But I have a feeling that she will het her moment in the theater soon with the way musicals are changing and exploring more expressive, conversational and evocative singing style. Sydnie's time is coming! I love her so much!
"Tomorrow" really caught my attention, you don't often see a woman with that powerful of a voice. Then "My Way" made that seem like a warm up song. Now "Over the Rainbow" take her talent up yet another notch. Makes me wish there was one more level in the competition and wonder how far she can go. I guess we will just have to wait for her first album. I'm sure it will be my favorite "Christmas" album !
And the last performance off the final
love her gestures
Me too- the “bluebirds fly” moment was beautiful
Great reaction as usual. Hope she becomes one of our Broadway legends.
...a legend for sure...
Thank you! Yes, I am very sure this will open some doors for her, and it’s so well-deserved!
If you watch the interview on the tv show. Sydnie says she uses Lorens version but the singing coach changed it enough to make it a bit different from LorenS version from AGT fantasy league. Loren also told her to do it and not worry. Both versions are amazing.loren is her idol as well
I was waiting for that direct from Brasil. I ❤ your reations
She connects with the mob, so to speak. Someone who had huge dreams working as someone serving people in s fitness center. Towels, laundry, customer service. Its like she connects with our childhood dreams and brings them to life. Whats not to like?
Amazing, Lovely, thoughtful reaction. I wonder, though, if Sydney could deliver this signature huge cresendo night after night in the West End/on Broadway.
Thank you! While it would be a challenge for anyone, I bet she could, she uses good technique 👍
@@YourOnlineSingingCoachas an older classically trained vocalist...I loved your critiques and explanations of dynamics. You know your stuff and I've subscribed. Thank you.
Your eyes are absolutely stunning
Feel like we have been done out of another great song with her getting a Golden buzzer.dam. but well Deserved.
she is who she is.
Finally someone is paying attention to her face
She's just brought out her version of "Starlight Express" worth listening to
I'm convinced she started singing before she could talk :)
I guess you were thinking about Agnetha? I agree... 😊
I’ve been waiting for this !! I really like your reaction and comments !! You are the best !
Thank you so much! I was eagerly waiting too, lol! Couldn’t wait to see it, and she delivered yet again! 🤩
@@YourOnlineSingingCoach yes indeed ! And I was patiently waiting for your commentary on this one ! You seem to capture all the essence of a great vocalist and I love it about you !
I cut my teeth on musical theater, so many, many...many years ago. I have seen and heard many very talented performers. I have to say, right now, my three favorite are Lea Salonga, Loren Allred, and...Sydnie Christmas! Hands down!!!!!!
I was looking at the comments made and I seen Loren Allred video of her version of Some Where Over The Rainbow IMHO Sydnie is better! Sydie draws you in by all the the nuance's and the liberty of her phases of the lyrics. A lot of people are saying she should be performing in Broadway and Venues like that. I totally disagree with that. She should make her own album and tour the World! 👋👋😃
She was born to be singer
They suggested it for her, and she said no, that's Lauren's (Alford's) song, her idol. Somehow, Lauren found out and message her to use it. Lauren then sent her a tape of several versions they had tried. Sydnie said 99% of the song and arrangement were Lauren's.
Saw this pop up and had to immediately stop everything to watch
Edit: Great reaction
Thank you! 🙏😊
Sydnie had been sick prior to this performance and didn’t like the way she sang it! Who knew? It was transcendent to me!
Lost in Sydnie's spell, I've loved all your reactions and comments and subscribed to your channel.
Thank you so much, Juliet.
If I can advance a request... Sydnie declared that Tomorrow's arrangement is Marisha Wallace's and Over the Rainbow's arrangement is Loren Allred's. Both singers approved and publicly cheered Sydnie's performances. I would like to hear your comments for their versions. Comparing them with Sydnie if you like.
Anyway thank you, Juliet.
Thank you! Yes, I’m curious to hear those original reinterpretations now! 👍
You need to see Sidney Christmas being named the winner because you need to hear what she says to the audience
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This girl can really sing. Good job. 😎
She can! 🎵👍
Check out Tim Storms going to walk that Lonesome road
Tim Storms holds two world records one for the lowest note and for having the most octaves
Holding a note at full power for 9,31 seconds - try it :)
Thought you should know sidnie has released a music video of Andrew lloyd webbers starlight express,she also has an album being released on 20th September and a uk tour in october. Sidnie won !!!
It's amazing that she hadn't been discovered already. She sounds better than half the singers I hear on the radio right now. Special.
Yes, mystifying almost: maybe it's because she wants to be on the stage and not directly on the radio. Only, the stage was never yet opened for her.....looks like she's more open to the alternative too now. She's gonna go very far, now!
She is fantastic! Sadly, vocal talent and skill is a very small piece of what makes recording artists successful, in most cases. With that said, I think Sydnie has many exciting things ahead of her in her career!
Better than almost all!
Nailed it. But this arrangement is by Loren Alred a few months ago on AGT. Go check it out. Amazing.
It´s true, but Loren texted her the days before the final and told her to sing it and not to hesitate, cause she s her idol 🙂
I will! I love Loren! I did feel some “greatest showman” vibes in the arrangement - now I know why lol!
It is in her face as she sings watch her face you will see it
She sang as if she was a professional guest super star singer on the show simply another class and would have been a travesty if hadn't won!
Next Reaction Dimas Senopati cover Alone by Heart 👍👍
Coming soon! 👍
@@YourOnlineSingingCoach Okay im waiting 👍
You think that she can’t get stronger, and then Sydnie turns on that vocal afterburner in the end. Holly sh…
And that last note is the equivalent of a negative G feeling.

Lots of problems can be solved with Sydnie lol!
Thats how celine dion first got reconized esp on the world stage through the eurovision contest check it out,
She's singing it kind of in the style of IZ.
Hey Taylor swift can you hold my beer
Pleased for her n'all, but we've heard three short songs from her, and the hyperbole from the judges, amplified in these comments, is the most extreme and over-the-top hyperbole I've heard in the whole world of all time ever. I am literally on fire I'm so stoked. But I also think it's a little bit excessive. One factoid I saw was that 'Sydnie's triumph at BGT is the first ever by a woman without a dog'. Wow, she doesn't have a dog, doesn't that blow your mind? Well, as a matter of fact, no, since you ask. These reality talent shows are not really about talent, but they use the lives of ordinary people (who are inexpensive and easily manipulated) as story lines in a soapy syrupy drama, that on this occasion has cast the spotlight on the woman without a dog. How will she fare as a professional singer, competing for attention with other professional singers? Only time will tell. One thing she does have though is a great name that already includes the mandatory quirky spelling that helps to catch the public's attention. I can see her being an obvious choice for Christmas TV specials, obviously, cos the show titles write themselves; and also panto, a great seasonal tradition in the UK, and the only live theatre many people ever see, so they're easily pleased. So with that name and this repertoire, a great future awaits her, on the provincial panto circuit, for a couple of years at least. Or maybe she will be huge, who knows? I hear a big voice, I'm not sure I hear the great voice that other people seem to hear.
For ypur next crush , please check out So Hyang singing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" - you willl thank me!
