Vocal Coach REACTS - SYDNIE CHRISTMAS (BGT 2024) 'Somewhere Over the rainbow'

[@craigcampos]

She is the best singer I have ever heard. It’s the way she sings. Makes you feel emotions even after watching her for like 50 times. Go watch her audition. You will fall in love with her. She has it all really. Great personality and so sweet and pretty. But she is legit

[@berndvonaschwege2525]

Sie ist gut!! aber hör Dir Angelina Jordan an! Ich denke, Angelina ist zur Zeit, die beste Sängerin, Weltweit! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTKhJulbt6Zbpo kzbin.info/www/bejne/gonOn3-QedSFjLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5CYaoOQjdCoqcU kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqebnp15nZqcn6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3vVXnWcirZloKc en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jordan Stay save with distance!

[@ukmark62]

Couldn't put it better. No singer before has EVER made me cry. I've heard all the greats, but to me this girl is the greatest. She melts me and I love it!

[@craig9146]

I like your take on this song. Refreshingly honest. I only found Sydnie several weeks ago. I have seen a bunch of vocal coach reactions and interviews. You are the first one to point out the three bobbles in this song. Sydnie is a self-professed perfectionist. In one interview, she said she thought she had blown the whole competition with the "mistakes." Knowing this, immediately after the song, you can see she is not happy.

[@hookster8179]

Syndnie vocals may be a once in a lifetime sound of emotions to listen too, but she was the first to highlight the BGT vocal coach help and looking forward to future help from her. Always learning always growing.

[@LisaB-r1n]

Her performance of Tomorrow from Annie is the best of her three BGT performances IMO. Would love to see you react to that one.

[@Neil-z7n]

So moving are Sydnie’s BGT performances that all should carry emotional health warnings.

[@THSeaNotes]

Her facial and body expressions convey the whole interpretation of every song she sung on BGT. She is just a beautiful soul. I want more!👍❤️

[@KathleenChilds]

Love this! I get a lump in my throat every time I hear this. Outstanding.

[@uknowispeaksense7056]

This version is Loren Allred's version. She is the vocalist who recorded Never Enough from The Greatest Showman. Sydnie was also unwell when she sang this.

[@aclarkinnc6180]

Yes, and they’ve now performed the song as a duet.

[@LASoundCrafter]

She had three days to ready this version, according to an interview.

[@olivergermany5904]

Hi Kenn Sydnie explained in the interview on Monday in "The Morning-Show" after winning the competition, that the producers suggested her this (Lauren Alred´s) Version to sing in the finale and she had only 3 days to make it her own with her (BGT-)Voval-Coach. For Sinatra´s "My Way" she had about 4 Weeks ti prepare. She said, that it was very challenging and thanked her coach. A really wonderfull and humble young lady.

[@janettetippetts7942]

Loved this performancce! And your take on it. Thank you!

[@lynjones2461]

Please watch her audition she has a funny warm personality she is full of fun and her voice is sublime i appreciate you are a vocal coach but her voice is naturally beautiful xx

[@tolirojo]

In case you were not aware, she had been sick before this performance and I think that’s very important to know that she was able to pull it off

[@Rackelhane]

She is stunning in every way.❤ Thank you for posting. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

[@Capfka]

She has an amazing voice - and two very loving grandmothers! Both sides of the family. Great support from great friends and relatives.

[@rwong9932]

Listen to her audition when we’re 1st introduced to her personality & her singing “Tomorrow”

[@peterchuran]

beautiful rendirion for a singer that you feel is an underdog that you cheer for Njust positive and nice

[@JamesRizzo-m3b]

Great job great video man you know what you're doing she has a a spectacular voice it's incredible that is so hard to do to pull that off man that's how definitely good video keep up the good work and bring the videos on man cuz I always watching I love this😮😮😮😮😮

[@claudiamehlem6331]

What's fascinating for me is, how she performs! She tells you a story! She doesn't have to concentrate on singing, or is afraid to fail. It's pure joy, it comes out of her, naturally! Brilliant!

[@Luana6350]

What a voice❣

[@philipswanner4067]

Amazing performance and she was actually sick during it which could have cause the little pitch issues that you noticed.

[@philharris5848]

This is the first time I've heard Sydnie and she has a very unusual voice which I really liked. In your analysis you pointed out perfectly that her main strength lies in her high belting. Another fantastic young singer you should definitely react to is 20 year old Lucy Thomas from the UK. She already has released 6 studio albums, her latest video uploaded on to utube being a cover version of the classic song 'Unchained Melody." At the end of the year she is going to star in a brand new musical especially written for her on London's West End stage called "Rosie." Many reactors seem to believe that she has the most beautiful voice on the planet. I'd love to know what you think.

[@reddragonready]

Sounds to me like you should also check her audition . It's BGT btw and the price is Cash and performing at this years Royal Variety show. Luckily for her probably..the show is not tied to ridiculous recording contracts which usually seems to lead to a 3 album career. Anyway Sydnie's dream is to be on the West End. This arrangement btw comes from Loren Aldredd..Sydnie's idol. Though she did still give it her own twist.

[@mburkitt7678]

This performance brings to mind Eva Cassidy's version. To my (untrained) ear, stunning.

[@tomcanfield705]

Big time belter. But for my money, Eva Cassidy at the Blues Alley, with only her guitar accompanying her matchless voice, remains the gold standard.

[@ronboyer8901]

Love your reactions! I was going thru some of your past reactions and ran across the one you did of Lucy Thomas with Hallelujah. She is now 20 and just did a cover of Unchained Melody. It is unbelievable ! You will not be disappointed .

[@markwong85]

She's giving out quite a bit of old school Shirley Bassey mixed with Celia Black vibes! Love her voice so much!

[@AdamLeigh-vl2jr]

I totally get what you mean by wanting to hear more of that head voice. Surely she’ll record an album soon and there could be a really interesting mix of different singing on there. I’m impatient to hear it.

[@robinabbott5653]

Sydnies first album being released in September. Can be pre ordered. In October she’s going on tour. So happy for her.

[@pattidoney8649]

You really need to react to her version of "Tomorrow"

[@coffeeandgames82]

you have a nice relaxing voice to listen to!

[@robinabbott5653]

Ken, she just released her first video 2 days ago. Starlight Express. You tube the one with lyrics. You won’t be disappointed. She nailed it as well.

[@mlincoln1]

yes, this so sounded like music similar to "never enough" through one section. not surprised to hear that she has also done a cover of that song. this was my mothers favorite song and she would have so loved this rendition. ty

[@lawrenceb5236]

As @uknowispeaksense7056 stated, this is Loren Allred’s version from AGT Fantasy League earlier this year. So the Never Enough influence is there as you stated. Loren is her idol, and Loren gave Sydnie her blessing and congratulated her afterward. A collaboration between the 2 is expected soon. Loren will be in London when she performs with Andrea Bocelli on July 5th, so maybe they’ll get together then.

[@matchu.j]

Just reacting because u dont come up in my algorithm... love ur reactions

[@wanderlusttinyhousechick7192]

I can't get enough of Sydnie. I'm obsessed. Definitely interested In what professional vocalists have to say in regards to her talent. Has she had lessons? There's no way this is completely organic...right? I mean she would really have to be some freak of nature to know how to do all this perfection without any training.

[@aclarkinnc6180]

I appreciated your comments, and don’t understand the criticism of you reacting during the video. It’s a pretty standard approach, and if people want to hear the performances without interruptions, the uninterrupted videos are out there.

[@cp368productions2]

Whenever I record a cover of a song I hate it that I am not pitch perfect, but then I remember that professionals are usually off key the same amount live.

[@JeffKutz-r9g]

she did say she was going to spend part of her winnings on her vocal teacher. She said the vocal teacher has raised her game beyond anything she ever did before. I would like to know if she did her own arrangements because it is obvious she came into this competition with her own music. It truly is a case where all the stars aligned into a miracle event for all three songs she sang. BTW - I really like your style of reaction. I find it technically strong and educational.

[@SuperThorel]

Please react to Maxwell Thorpe’s semi final ‘now we are free’ on BGT 2022. Gladiator 2 trailer just out so trending 🎉

[@barbarashield2289]

Would love to see you review Tesky Brothers, Rain. It is unbelievable.

[@donkrom3599]

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

[@wmackirdy]

Her idol is Loren Allred...and Loren called her after one of her performances.

[@deirdreoliver1984]

She needed to win a competition1

[@tonyp2632]

You gotta hear Loren Allred's version. Loren and Sydnie are the only singers who have brought tears to my eyes😭🥰

[@GraciesMom]

She was incredibly nervous during this performance. She had just a few days to prepare and part of that time she was sick. She hated this performance so much (she thought she was pitchy) she still can’t watch it. 7/23

[@johnarndt1501]

Her other performance 'my way' was my favorite

[@alisonstevens8342]

You need to listen to the 2nd performance my way

[@Danny_R_]

He already did that one. Its on his channel ;)

[@PeterGuzzardo]

Listen to the whole song

[@mlfman]

She did use plosive T, she was singling up and you couldn’t hear it

[@riffatiqbal1398]

Another suggestion. Tu Jhoom…Coke Studio… Abida Parveen and Naseebo Lal

[@lindanoren8996]

She was sick that song

[@seanpadgett3053]

I hope you are right, I want to hear what she brings in the future, if you think she has “more”, I hope she brings it.

[@ZahidHussain-k2t]

Please react on Coke studio Pakistan season 14 & 15 , It is amazing ... you must love it

[@singlemalt1107]

We can request songs here right? I’d really like you to react to Mumford & Sons “Only Love”. Greetings from Frankfurt, 🇩🇪 👋

[@ClaytonJHawkins]

Ken, I would love a vocal analysis of Ratatata by BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy. It will be a cultural and dynamic experience for you and us.

[@swap3337]

i hope you could react to some southindian songs also there are really great singers in south india too. Bollywood is not the only film industry in india there are so many others also. We have great south indian singers like SP Balasubramaniam, Sid Sriram etc also there are great music composers like Mastro Ilyaraja, Oscar winner AR Rahman in the list.

[@astrounclejoe2572]

A click track or lead in measure in the ear monitors.

[@cesarg.2672]

You should react to Circa Survive.🙂

[@Gergei-xi1bs]

, Ken, please react to Diana Ankudinova,, Quiet outpost "

[@ebrahimderakhshanfard3805]

Please Please Please react to led zeppelin - Kashmir live in celebration day. I bet that blows your mind.

[@samanthastewart1860]

STOP TALKING, PLEASE, REACT AFTER THE SONG IS DONE!!!!!!

[@leonardoss21]

React Lonely by Guilherme de Sá. Please!

[@riffatiqbal1398]

Can you react to “Charkha Nolakha” coke studio Atif Aslam and Qayyas

[@rafay199a]

Ken why did you stop reacting to Coke Studio Pakistan? It is on a different level

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

1939 from The Wizard Of Oz.

[@highroller-jq3ix]

Thanks. No one ever would have known otherwise.

[@texnorton3494]

Her voice reminds me of Whitney.

[@Maryaliece]

It may have been Loren's version, buy, being a theater performer....sorry Loren.... this is now Sidnie's SOUL SONG..

[@mareenorth8790]

I think she’s amazing … but this was not her arrangement. I think she runs the risk of going from the power note to the screaming note, but she has given me chills every performance. I’m super excited to see where she goes from here

[@marthadescoteau5994]

Not a review I like. Picking here apart every few seconds. She is much better than being picked apart.

[@Ozymandi_as]

Who said it was a review? It's a reaction and analysis - he's a singing teacher.

[@jasper0410]

read the title, “VOCAL COACH”.

[@chriswolfe5417]

IZ still has the best version, but her rendition is amazing.

[@Favourandblessing-24]

Loren was her mentor

[@JanaJohnson-vh7rj]

Her nans and the rest of the family are all are around same place

[@carlos103able]

She refuses to watch this performance because she was out of tune in parts, she said this herself, but she only had 2 days after the semi final to choose a song and then practice. Still beautiful though.

[@lokasingata3881]

she had a cold while singing this

[@19mati67]

You should revisit Angelina Jordan, you are missing out a lot.

[@deirdreoliver1984]

It's BRITAINS got talent

[@AnonYmous-ry2jn]

Your personality seems narcissistic. Even for a reaction video, it's as if you can't stand being upstaged by the singer you are reviewing, and practically drown her out with the endless stream of verbiage, including off-hand tangential remarks and commentary, most of it of very limited relevance at best. For example, dwelling so lengthfully on the singer having to find the pitch (that observation seemed to go on forever as if it genuinely thrilled you) then excusing it by saying it convinces you it's an authentic live performance (what else would it be, a Milly-Vanilly redux/nostalgia video????).... There's constantly an undercurrent of something quite negative, but I can't put my finger on what it is -- but it's *definitely* there.

[@Blueridge1961]

Very good.. You've found the absolute correct way to describe this guys behavior... He loves mainly himself, and obviously struggles to accept that other, more talented people than himself are in the center of interest.

[@legend9335]

North Americans trying to pronounce foreign names is always hilarious and sad at the same time. My personal view regards the music is don`t analyse just enjoy, The same with a sunset.

[@petercooper8282]

She was ill at the time of this performance.

[@dianesinnett4391]

She is singing to a recorded program. Of course, she had rehearsals

[@Melekini49]

She has a beautiful voice but I still prefer Iz's version

[@seanpadgett3053]

I like his version to I must say but they are totally different styles. I actually can’t pick them apart in terms of preferences, both took a classic and sang it in different styles and I love them both. Music is amazing it makes you feel, laugh, cry and kudos to the folks who have that power to do that to you. Amazing

[@Samsam326]

Mate stop taking and please listen then react

[@brianchaffee5173]

They sing what every way they want you should research things before you type of people talk

[@nnncnewsnownorcal4808]

If this guy was to just listen and shut up it would have been better

[@priscillawhiting2247]

She's mind blowing..but you just made it very terrible to listen tooooooooo

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

I've never seen this and to be honest it didn't 'speak' to me. The Judy Garland version (I guess the original) told an emotional story in a straightforward and engaging way. This to me seemed emotional almost to the point of hysterical but not engaging. For me this was tricks not truth.

[@Dopplersurfer04]

israel iz kamakawiwoʻole

[@leannejackson494]

You pause too much dude

[@barryrose3810]

Great review but WAY too much pausing and talking. Please give your awesome comments after the video has ended...thanks

[@musik102]

Well, this version must trace its origins back to Eva Cassidy's rendition. Now, I was not impressed with Eva's - how should we call it - eccentric phrasing where she inserts pauses in the most unnatural places. And, now this version adds in even more awkward unnatural pauses. What ever happened to good taste.

[@highroller-jq3ix]

Exactly. There is a "natural" way this song is supposed to be sung because it was literally squeezed out of actual birds. Are you actually this stupid, or are you just cosplaying as someone this stupid?

[@FelixNielsen]

Honestly, she is clearly very talented and has great potential, and yet this, to me, is utter garbage. Why you ask? Well, because it is just one more over the top black and white "because I can" performance. What is refreshing however, is someone picking up on the little details, like the fact that she, like most, is nowhere near pitch perfect. Thank you.

[@reddragonready]

It's a competition..one has to WOW the audience because it is their phoned votes deciding the winner. Essentially it is her audition for the West End as well..so yeah..over the course of just 3 songs she is going to try and WOW both the voters and the producers of future West End musicals and show as much as possible of her range both vocally and emotively

[@FelixNielsen]

This is true, to a point. As for the audience, the do not know any better, they can't help it, and yet, those who are remembered beyond the final, are often those who did not just give it all, including everything, including the kitchen sink, compressing as much vocal masturbation as possible into a very short performance. There are plenty of very talented singers, but this is not enough. You may je noticed, sure, but you are not remembered, because on the whole, it is just same old same old. What i remember, is the little girl, whats her name, with the ukulele. Not because she was a little girl, plenty of those as well, not because the played the ukulele, the didn't do all that good of s job of it truth be told, and not because she had a great voice, because she didn't. No, i remember her because she gave it all in the ways that matter. She was not just another talentet, or not so talented singer, but a performer. This one however, i will not remember, not out ill will or any such thing, but because there really is nothing, for me, to remember.

[@Sofasurfa]

I’m sure the £250,000 she won and performing on the Royal Variety show will make up for you not remembering this young woman. This type of singer is not to my taste but I don’t feel the need to be unpleasant I simply won’t watch her again. Still you’re entitled to your opinion.

[@FelixNielsen]

@@Sofasurfa When have I been unpleasant? What makes you think that I it is about her, personally, rather than the type of performance? So she won, good for her. There have been many winners throughout the years, and good for them, but how many of them have largely been forgotten and how many have not? I think my claim is evident, and presuming I am right, the reason for this is exactly what I have previously described. Talent is not enough, and of course they are rarely as talented as the public perceive, you need to be a performer. In any case, it was never my intention to be unpleasant. In fact, I suspect that I might come to like her, should I take the time to expose myself to more of her. Regardless, this is not the point.

[@Sofasurfa]

@@FelixNielsen I believe that your comment read as rather unpleasant and now that I think about it, a tad patronising as well, “As for the audience, they do not know any better, they can’t help it ….” So glad one has your expert opinion to rely on. Obviously it matters what the audience thought given they were the ones who voted for this young woman. She obviously managed to touch her target audience as it has gained her nice chunk of money plus the exposure that performing at the Royal Variety Show will give her. What she does with this opportunity will be down to her ability to continue to connect with an audience. An audience does not need “need to know any better” an artist isn’t taking part in a grade eight singing/performance exam. As said not to my taste but I certainly wouldn’t refer to someone endeavouring to show case their vocal skills and style in a two minute slot on a highly manufactured show as vocal masturbation. I hope this young woman goes on and has a musical theatre career. As said you are entitled to your opinion. I am permitted to find your comment unpleasant. We will have to agree to differ.

[@kathrynalderman-jl5qr]

Didn’t like that version
