First Time Hearing Sydnie Christmas PITCH-PERFECT rendition of 'Over the Rainbow' Reaction!

[@BroncoGus]

OMG, I mean, OMG! WHAT A VOICE!

[@vegaswillie]

When she goes up top the first time, the music drops then she hits the chorus and it becomes magical. The hair on my arms stands up every single time even after watching this 100 times or more it still happens. Its hard to describe it but i love it.

[@PeterGuzzardo]

@@vegaswillie same here.

[@tomevans7567]

I have never heard an audience reaction like that on any talent show performance I have ever seen.

[@Colin-to1nv]

Exactly! Unheard of for the judges too! It is proof of Sydnie's God given talent, and her year to be on the BGT!

[@timmyfoxworth6710]

I love her .glad she won.

[@berniehand5528]

Great reaction. I agree on my way. You guys are honest and straight forward. Thank you.

[@mirellamaynard6404]

I have found her Instagram account and she’s adorable. Looks so much younger than in stage. She takes her time to react to any comments you send her. She’s like family

[@Erfedwe]

Great reaction. I am glad you were able to react to each of her songs. With her humility, personality and amazing talents, I am thinking we will see more of her in the future.

[@benjamansharer7969]

Her singing voice gave me chills!

[@riccardocoletta2398]

Now she is about to start a tour around all Britain and at the end of it her first album is about to come out

[@Colin-to1nv]

It's all starting to happen, but the tour has had to be rescheduled till next year, spring time.

[@riccardocoletta2398]

@@Colin-to1nv Yep... Just learnt it from her Istagram

[@craigcampos]

@@Colin-to1nv how come?

[@Colin-to1nv]

@@craigcampos Nothing major it seems: Sydnie spoke only of more time needed to prepare, in her instag. post, when confirming the delay for the tour after receiving queries by fans whose bookings were being changed: she spoke also of her own, huge, personal disappointment at the postponement worked out with her team. She added a post of her doing a little dance and a twirl, to lift our spirits after her sad news. We'll have her tour at the right time.

[@alisonstevens8342]

Sidnie has released an official music video of my way recorded in a studio it's amazing please could you react

[@guilbert5815]

Same here. My Way was my most faved performance of Sydnie. I love all your 3 reactions to her. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed it.

[@bryanblack2395]

Another great reaction 😊

[@vegaswillie]

You want to talk about leaving it all on the stage. WOW

[@lorenzobianchini4415]

That was beautiful❤

[@chrisromine1973]

It’s amazing how well she did with battling illness and learning a new song in the 3 days since My Way!

[@CarlD70]

Never heard that one.

[@michaelwest6395]

She has now released Starlight Express. Give it a listen....BREATHTAKING!

[@PeterGuzzardo]

Her audition was super human. “My Way” the voice of an Angel. “Over the Rainbow” the voice of God!

[@nobodyshome]

When Andrew Lloyd Webber personally requests that you record one of his songs... you have arrived. See Sydnie Christmas singing Starlight Express

[@gene6717]

I’ve watched all the talent shows from their inception, the got talent shows from around the world, the voice, American idol, X factor. Over particularly like listening to the judges comments filling each audition. I’ve never witnessed Simon seem to be at a loss of words which, he definitely was following over the rainbow. He stumbled, mumbled, didn’t finish thoughts and copied Brunos remark to finish his critique. When a performance can cause that kind of reaction from Simon, who’s usually unflappable, that in itself describes the impact Sydnie’s voice had on not only him but anytime watching. I’ve heard and read negative comments towards her however, I also believe those making those comments are doing so because, they could only dream of having that tie of impact on people. She has the ability like Celine, to leave so many with a memory that last a lifetime and when her albums come out and tours mount, people will use those songs in memorable events of their lives like weddings etc.

[@raulmorales7733]

She is amazing, she has a new video " Starligt express"

[@CindyBusfield]

Sydnie plans to have an Album out in September. She now has a single out a couple of weeks ago- Starlight Express.

[@anjelmist]

Hi you two just want to say been watching you guys for awhile now great channel I loved that you did all three of these performances and loved your reactions keep an ear out for Sydnie I hear she will be touring in the states next year she has covered pretty much every big song since BGT and has recorded a couple of her own as they say "ONE TO WATCH" and yes keep smiling always...

[@riccardocoletta2398]

Really great one. I still prefer her "My way" performance, but this is amazing anyway

[@robinabbott5653]

She also just released official My Way. It’s even better in the studio than on BGT.

[@MrRussc27]

Sydnie Christmas & Lorene Allred just released their duet of this song. Must watch!!!!!

[@jtphenom0811]

Judy *Garland ;) Love your reactions!

[@shaunjp2211]

There's another song starlight express by Sydnie on KZbin and at the moment she's on tour. In November she will be on the Royal variety show.

[@Colin-to1nv]

Yes, she presented this song perfectly and it was a career defining moment: your points were also spot on. It was taken from Loren Allred's rendition of the Hawaiian version of the song. Sydnie's nationwide tour has had to be moved to next spring due to preparations taking longer than hoped for: the first album is due in a month from now, while her first single now has also a music video.

[@theloneranger8725]

What a coincidence! Halfway through this performance, I was thinking, "She sounds exactly like Loren Allred. That's the way Loren would sing this song." Sydnie still doesn't realize how good she really is.

[@Colin-to1nv]

​@@theloneranger8725Yes, Sydnie is starting to believe more in herself now, as her posts on her instag. are showing. Loren is one of Sydnie's favourites, and they met up in London's Hyde Park at the start of July when Loren was performing at Andrea Bocelli's concert. It wasn't an eager pick of this song for Sydnie, either: listen to her explanation in this breakfast tv interview, this link having the lovely, full intro, too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e162ZKV8oJV6jqssi=M2PGOWfuzwvMG-zx

[@Colin-to1nv]

​@theloneranger8725 Yes, Sydnie is starting to believe more in herself now, after so long with no success, as her instag. posts also show. Hers is the F-sharp finish on "dreams come true", besides her other touches: she didn't seek out this song for the final, as she says here, in this link with the lovely intro. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e162ZKV8oJV6jqssi=4UJGFDO_qbawU9bP

[@davidmcbride-w1n]

Such a great personality and an incredible singer, have listened to her over and over including lots of reactions. Obviously I think yours are the best. 😎 Another singer I love is Alice Fredenham singing Funny Valentine on BGT . Thanks again for your reactions.

[@vegaswillie]

​@@davidmcbride-w1n absolutely agree with you in Alice. Alice was fantastic. I would encourage anyone to watch that version of " My Funny Valentine". Alice went all in on that song.

[@Clearphish]

Growing up in Odawa, that small town on the Ontario Québec border, it's so nice to hear your Kanukistani accents! It reminds me of home 😉 I now live in the wilds of West Québec.

[@donstand2195]

This is my favorite one she raised it bent it and opened it and there's only a handful of singers who can do that

[@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD]

For context, the original version of this song was recorded in 1939. Belting like is done in this version, would have been considered screaming. It just wasn’t a thing. This brought a whole new element to the song

[@GilbertHorn1]

Judy would be proud!

[@CapitalVideo]

Of all the three performances that Sydnie did, in my opinion the first one was the standout one as she was raw and had no idea of what to expect and her humility was clearly on show, sufficient to move the judges in the manner that she did, including getting the golden buzzer from Amanda. The second one, although musically was excellent, appeared to be forced and she did not seem at all comfortable, so on balance, I have to put this in 3rd place. The final song she had come more back to her natural self and the musical performance was also excellent and worthy of her taking the main prize. Sydnie is somebody worth following in the future as I'm certain we have not seen the last or best of her yet. One other female singer worth looking into is Tori Holub, who has the same smooth and silky voice that bought Karen Carpenter to fame, and in conjunction with James Wilkas, it is very hard to differentiate between them singing the same songs.

[@vickientze8129]

I enjoyed your reactions. She reminds me of Jennifer Hudson in her vocal abilities and her sweet personality. It looks like Sydney is finally on her way…

[@TrenaHunt]

She has a album coming out October 4th

[@billydonaldson6483]

“My Way” was originally a French song that was translated to English by Paul Anker.

[@robinabbott5653]

Now you need to do Starlight Express.

[@onechess]

I know she is recording an album and is scheduling a tour in England! She absolutely wows me every time I listen to her!! A request from no is to react too Chris Stapleton live on Jimmy Kimmel singing "It Takes A Woman"

[@billydonaldson6483]

Over the Rainbow was by Judy Garland from the “Wizard of Oz.”

[@billydonaldson6483]

Amanda Holden herself has a great voice, something that surprised everyone.

[@stevencowdell5201]

Amanda does seem to know a lot about her judging role. But have never herded Amanda sing .Have seen her acting though.

[@stevencowdell5201]

My way was my favourite by far.

[@jtphenom0811]

FYI she was sick the night she sang this.

[@HandlebarWorkshops]

Gotta check out the version by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole (kah-mah-kah-wee-woe-o-o-lay) also known as 'IZ'. But you HAVE to do the "Over The Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" version. It is so beautiful. Just an ukulele and a lovely voice.

[@markpayne2363]

She said the original was by Judy Gardner. She's showing how young she is. The original was by Judy Garland. From The Wizard of Oz.

[@lawrenceb5236]

Nice reaction again to Sydnie. It’s amazing how some commenters don’t understand the need to show some flair when singing bland songs in a competition. Loren Allred (the original singer of Never Enough) put together that version on AGT Fantasy League earlier this year. And Loren and Sydnie have a special relationship as Loren is Sydnie’s idol. They actually met in London last month. Here’s the link to Loren’s version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHiacoKpmLCde5I

[@Sgtjay68]

Looking at the judges reactions, if Sydnie did not win, I think they would of had a mental breakdown. Talk about tension and anxiety. Never saw Simon so happy.

[@alisonstevens8342]

Sidnie has released a music video of starlight express Andrew lloyd webbers show it is amazing thankyou again for your reactions

Three of the most boring and over performed songs out there and she not only killed tham, but made them fascinating and emotional. I'm so glad my favorite Canadian reactors decided to feature her.

[@jeromecastonguay]

I cannot stop listening to all of her songs every one of them are a new masterpiece. Until now only Michael Bublé can rearrange sound and song to make it better than the original, which is always very hard to do.

I would like to know how she got my Lipstick.🧸🧸

[@gaylechauvin9647]

Sydnie didn’t pick this song, BTG did, she only had 3 days to get down. She actually wanted to sing something else as this was Loren Allred’s version.

[@Colin-to1nv]

Very true she didn't pick this song, but without Loren's personal endorsement of her, remember, she didn't have another, ready option did she?

[@alisonstevens8342]

[@jessimek]

Take a listen to version by Patti LaBelle.

[@OrangeMonkey2112]

Judy Garland

[@nancyham1890]

The original was sung by Judy Garland, not Gardener.

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Wow. Move over Adele and Taylor, there’s a new kid in town. I’d love to know what the families of the original artists think of these renditions.

[@Colin-to1nv]

YES, she IS being requested to replace Taylor in the States, also in the comments on her presentation in June of "Tomorrow" at the West End Live event; she was the final act of the last video of that Sunday, at this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnishqeGopKJp7Msi=DyYAsShL-k8JJBpM The other artists of these tuned are fans of hers now: Loren Allred calling this song "our" song on Sydnie's facebook posting of this video. Marisha Wallace, whose tune it was of "Tomorrow" from during the lockdown that Sydnie adapted and changed, is equally supportive. "My Way" is indeed Sydnie's own cover, so it's also the name of her GB tour that'll happen next spring, now.

[@gene6717]

Taylor????? I’ve listened to three different tour videos and she talks thru most of her songs. That Taylor is, is an unbelievable song writer with a slightly above average voice. Now your comparison to Adele is much closer.

[@rdr413]

Singers Don't win these Got Talent shows very often because of the variety of acts they compete against Like dog acts, magicians, circus acts, ventriloquists, light shows, dance acts, and others! When Angelina Jordan, a sensational talent, was on AGT she didn't make the top 5 of that special Champions Show! A dance crew from India won that show!

[@EileenHall-j9f]

A star is born, unfortunately I think we are going to lose her to America, you Americans can smell the money. But I guess we will be able to see her.

[@JoAnnP38]

This was the least favorite performance of her three BGT appearances. While her emotion and power were still there, for the first time I felt like there was a note or two that weren't pitch perfect. Maybe she was having a problem hearing herself, so it might not be her fault. I love Sydnie and I'm looking forward to listening to her in the future.

[@tmon6219]

She had been some sick for a day or so in the 3 days between appearances.

[@spacefanatic]

In my opinion the version by Shane Ward who won the X Factor in 2005 is much better.

[@rossdownes4240]

Love her voice but not a fan of her version.Eva Cassidy has the best rendition of this i've ever heard.

[@kidpoker007]

Yeah voice is amazing, but don't like this arrangment...to many different melodies compared to the original....Eva Cassidy's Over the Rainbow I like better...but obviously Sydnie's voice is amazing

[@andrewmccormack4295]

It would have been far better for her if she had come 2nd instead of 1st place.

[@Colin-to1nv]

Sure, she's humble, sweetly English in her self-depricating personality, but on pure talent there was no chance for anyone else, this time, no chance: Jack Rhodes supported her afterwards too by posting a video of her TV interview with himself inserted, visible behind her in the studio, smiling at her comments.

[@andrewmccormack4295]

@@Colin-to1nv I agree,she's such a sweetheart with an amazing personality and was the best singer there but coming first get her locked into a contract with very little control over what she sings etc. On a personal note I think she's so attractive and hope she goes as far as she wants to go in her career.

[@lawrenceb5236]

True- look at Susan Boyle

[@Colin-to1nv]

​@@andrewmccormack4295My reply has disappeared. So: Sydnie looks unfettered in her artistic choices going forward, collab'ing also with Andrew Lloyd Webber for her first single, and no pressure from her agents: her GB tour also being delayed till she's ready, while her album will be on time. Her family and support network is solid, too, and she's moved back home to Kent, on guidance also from her agency no doubt. God willing it continues this way for more than five times longer than the five years she wished for.

[@dannylgriffin]

She can sing but this is a terrible rendition of this classic.
