Sydnie Christmas - Tomorrow (BGT) - Vocal Coach Reaction & Analysis

[@jm844]

Bgt is for people who didn't get their break, she certainly deserves a contract.

[@mjeffn2]

I haven’t heard such resonance in a voice since Streisand. I could hear the undertones radiating out from her chest.

[@kathleenadelethompson3214]

I get chills every time she sings. I so love her. And the response of the audience...... Wow!!!! Way to go Sydnie.

[@YourOnlineSingingCoach]

Yes, it must have been quite a feeling to hear all those deafening cheers! 👍

[@Neil-z7n]

“Let’s ‘ave it!” The title of her second album, and her autobiography. 😉

[@dennisorwin8716]

You are the only reactor I have experienced so far that has even mentioned that poignant last verse and its personal significance to Sydnie, and her capacity to surprise, to move way beyond the audience's expectations. Thank you!

[@plast117]

To me, a tell-tale sign of greatness is when a singer like Sydney is able to end quietly with the audience so quiet you could hear a pin drop. BGT audiences tend to be raucous, but to get them to feel the song and her message so well that they are absolutely silent in that quiet, emotionally exposed place, speaks volumes. Well done!

[@bingo2507]

Your comments reflected exactly what I thought and felt watching her audition. ❤️👍🏻 Her voice control is unbelievable … and she made this well known song absolutely her own and personal.

[@petercaulf]

She's had a lot of criticism for being an experienced performer, but BGT is not just for amateurs. I hope this lifts her career too something special.

[@muncangel5993]

well, I d say that many contestens had experience...BUT it is totally differnt I guess to sing in front of Millions...and why shoudn´t they, if they didn´t have their break till that day 🙂

[@Colin-to1nv]

Yes, and others were actually 'professional' too, like that troope.

[@librab103]

that is what is crazy about the entertainment industry, people can spend their whole life honing their art and never become famous. That is why I like shows like this.

[@RabbiDrTheo]

I used to sing in that style before I lost my voice in 9/11 50 years old and her and I'm in love with her. Her breathing pronunciation is perfect continue watching

[@kaylajoyella7667]

Many are that come on but are not known. Struggling to get work. She had every right to audition

[@misshepburn8086]

I just love when vocal coaches love her. She is special. Kisses and hugs to you , Sydnie.

[@TRoxanne55]

I get chills every time I hear this.

[@MBBTigger1357]

Thanks!

Thank you! 🩷🙏🤗🩷

[@edgarmcbee2474]

Dang it made me cry again. She is incredible a super star is born

[@wajj1842]

From start to finish, this is my all time favorite audition on any talent show. Talk about someone who is easy to pull for, she comes out and in two minutes has us all eating out of her hand. So accessable, affable, humble, lovely, incredibly funny, and massively talented. Sydnie is the total package, and my pick to win it all. It will be hard to follow an audition like this, so song choice is enormously important. I'm hoping for "She Used to Be Mine". I think she would totally kill that song, and have us all sobbing. Thanks, Juliet, for another great reaction.

[@GraciesMom]

Yes, she’d be great as Jenna in Waitress!

[@kskisser]

not to mention the emotion dripping from every word. Made me cry

[@milalarsen1454]

She is a story teller.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@GraciesMom]

Well said. Such a theatre person…pulling us in, making us pay attention…and then that strong voice! Yes a story teller. 🥹

[@AntonTheunissen]

She brings the blues into a fairy tale. Amazing. I wonder where she got the arrangement and embellishments from. Perfection.

[@howiegoldfarb1871]

She’s just amazing I’m 76 & I don’t think I’ve heard anyone better I could listen to her over & over and each time she puts a smile on my face ❤

[@MBBTigger1357]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@howiegoldfarb1871Same here. I listen to this audition often. She’s has a beautiful voice & great endearing personality. I watch & listen to Sydney’s audition, semifinal song “MY WAY” & finale song “ OVER THE RAINBOW” for when I am feeling anxious or down. Her music always lifts my spirit and makes me feel I can go on. It’s a very trying time here in America and it will only get more difficult January 21. Thank you Sydney! 👍😀

[@ruelpile]

Sydnie brought down the house in each of her performances in BGT. Just incredible performances throughout by her. I wasn’t surprised that she had performed before. I’m just happy to see that she’s finally been discovered. She’s amazing.

[@donstand2195]

I love how she took it big and then pulled us right into her heart at the end what an amazing awesome job

[@MBBTigger1357]

I have watched this performance over and over again. When I may be having a challenging time I go to your reaction of this song. She’s so hilarious how can’t a person laugh. 😂👍

[@jillcarbajal2136]

This is the first time I’ve seen a video of yours. I found it by searching for other videos of Sydnie. The great things you said about her winning the crowd and them loving her before she even sings…all true. I have to say, you yourself have those qualities! You’re so likable!

[@librab103]

I am sure Sydnie Christmas is a name will be hearing for a very very long time. I cannot wait for her to tour and come to the states. I want to see her live.

[@KevsArtStuff]

A proper, wholesome person with a gigantic talent. She was awesome. Clealry the winner against some pretty amazing talent this year, but well deserved. Check out her other performances - equally stunning.

[@theMatch111]

I love how she looked at the crowd and the upper deck to make them feel included in this song

[@bettywagner7368]

I can't wait for her cds to come out. LET'S HAVE IT! AMAZING

[@andrewmccormack4295]

What a lovely,lovely Lady,I absolutely love her personality,thanks for a great reaction to this phenomenal singer.

[@clintonlemarluke1507]

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!

[@YourOnlineSingingCoach]

I love that! 👍

[@seandoer7934]

This is my first time on your channel, and I have to say thank you for this reaction video. Win or lose, I would travel to London if I had to... just so I could see Sydnie perform. This was one of my favorite "Got talent" auditions of all time. She's adorable, funny, engages the entire audience, and that voice is phenomenal!

[@jtphenom0811]

I absolutely adore this woman!

[@MandyBlandy]

I’ve watched both songs back to back to back. So captivating. She’s amazing.

[@coreelumpkin5440]

I love reactions that happen after the performance.

[@KarenMackie-kh4jn]

Sydnie you are awesome. Truly amazing vocals control. Such delight in listening to you sing. Can’t wait to hear more. Wonderful, wonderful 🎉🤩❤🇬🇧

[@joanajoel]

Wow. This is precisely what I expect from an analysis and a reaction. In this case with a bonus: two beautiful and talented women bringing shine to what the other is doing. Thank you very much.

[@sharondunn6199]

Such a powerhouse!... Just love her!... 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mikejaqua4604]

In the 17 years of BGT, I honestly believe this is THE best singing performance they have ever had. I've watched at least two dozen times and seen two professional reactions, yours being one of them. So far I haven't seen anyone spot a flaw. South a magnifying glass and tweezers, a few flaws could be teased out, but this is a thoroughly professional level performance. An absolute master class

[@haraldfaber6452]

Have you seen Loren Allred?

[@mikejaqua4604]

@haraldfaber6452 I have. She's very good. I still have to go with Sydnie. Sydnie has a finer, better controlled variability in what she does. She also puts emotion into a song and connects with her audience better. I certainly don't take anything away from Lauren's tremendous ability, I just see Sydnie as a more complete stage performer. Of course that doesn't mean that others won't disagree with me and that's just fine. We can all have our own favorites

[@wjkssmd]

@@haraldfaber6452 I absolutely love both singers. We need more of them, but only to the point that they are comfortable. We ruin people by our demands. All the best to both of them. I am watching for them.

Sydnie is a jewel. I see great things for her. I hope someone in the business watches out for her.

[@rosegardenia3254]

🙉😢Sydnie’s an irresistible “thief” I’ve allowed into my “indwelling” - since her BGT audition 😍as she’s ‘taken away’ too much TIME to “charge & recharge my “life-battery” 🔋🤷watching & listening to her 🎤🎶! Can’t get tasks done on time since browsing thru interesting “reactions” plus yours - truly nice❤😅🙏!

[@pdill51]

the elasticity in her voice is superb, she can sing anything this girl GOOD LUCK !!!

There is a remedy to depression his name is Jesus ❤

[@katiehanson6253]

@matthewjensen8623 yepp there sure is His name is Jesus... but we still go through trials, we still have battles to overcome, but I am well aware I am safe in the hands of my savior ❤️💯

[@Bryan-b8b]

​@@matthewjensen8623a good sentiment but it's a little more complicated than that. I mean that respectively. The hardest part for me in dealing with depression is the feelings of isolation it creates and then the numb feeling nothing not even caring enough to ear, the inability to sleep that compounds everything. My advice is if you know someone that suffers from depression isn't telling Jesus loves them but showing them you do, be a true example of Christian love and you'll show them that Jesus loves them too.

[@thomasgriffith2953]

Sydnie took this song and made it hers! She owned it! It's hers! Her personality and talent are pure magical! 👍🤗💓

[@homealoneuniverse1221]

Loved your analysis. Sydnie's a beautiful person, easy to love. But there's one additional factor I've noticed. She has a remarkable range of facial expression. It's a central part of both her wonderful performance and her wonderful personality. And I totally agree. My absolute favorite aspect of these talent shows is that feel-good moment when a true artist like her begins to believe, the dreams that she dared to dream, really might come true. 🎶

[@ianaterri3891]

Thank you for that. I was really dreading watching this video. To think of someone sitting there and analyse almost the most stunning performance I've ever heard. And there you are just speaking out my thoughts and sentiments. You are a very kind and sensitive person and for that I thank you.

[@helenwilliams7065]

The Show is Britain's Got Talent, nothing in the title to say they have to be undiscovered or only sing in the shower, or whatever. She's amazing❤

[@kelleyturner5143]

[@timwinter7518]

The 1st time she appeared on BGT & her personality bubbled out I sat smiling..glued to my tv..then she sang. 👀💫 Wow I was blown away. I watch re-runs of these shows & she is my best. ❤ Love ya Sydnie

[@kariharder519]

I absolutely LOVE that after you comment on a part of her performance, you go back to before that part so we can hear it again. In this way, you invite us to share in your experience. It takes the interruption out of your react - I mean - any pause in this brilliant performance feels almost cruel (lol!) cuz she is so good BUT your style of reacting has won me over. The ending surprised me too - such a brave surprise. The beginning feels so “throaty” to me - as if the tears are just right there - and the second time through feels so much like she’s singing through tears but controlled - and the end just feels like that sigh after a good cry. I can’t stop listening to her! What song do you think she should sing for the live show?!!

[@dennissanjuan7406]

I pity the next contestant after 15:23 Sydnie. She's untouchable here. She elevated this song in the next level. It's like Annie transformed from an adorable kid in to a beautiful young lady.

[@davidbarrass5210]

The act before was dressed as a fish and got 4 red buzzers, so no pressure then especially when Simon doesn't like the song.

[@kdc-nb5fw]

It starts like someone contemplating life, then deciding they can overcome their troubles, but eventually reality sets in, and it's just back to surviving, but with a bit more confidence.

[@pkb4316]

She is amazing!! To change Simon's mind about a song he hates is incredible!! Because she sang in performances before doesn't matter. She is simply amazing. Lets hope her big break doesn't ruin her!!

[@MrsApplegateart]

[@matthewjensen8623]

She is inspiring. I believe her hope is in Jesus, and so is mine❤

[@lawrenceb5236]

Thanks Juliet. This version was actually recorded by Marisha Wallace as a fundraiser, 3 years ago, during the Pandemic, when the theaters were all closed. Sydnie improved it by leaps and bounds. Regarding her prior experience. She was part of a cast for a couple of plays in the past. 1 in London and 1 in Germany. She also was a cruise ship performer for Royal Caribbean. So she has experience, but has never performed on The West End according to her interviews. She was an understudy before Covid closed everything. Not exactly a household name (yet). I heard shades of Judy Garland there.

[@YourOnlineSingingCoach]

Thanks for more of her backstory! And fun to hear about her cruise ship past, as i did that a loooooong time ago too! Yes, I hear shades of Judy in her voice too!

[@pennymcneela7095]

She told this on Good Morning Britton, but I do love Sydnie's voice she does it justice.

[@tanithschneider3051]

Sydnie gives their credit in interviews about her golden buzzer moment. She knows it is someone else and gives credit where it is due.

So amazing, it wasn't just "art", she shaped it into English art, with musical feeling. Emotional art of a 28 year old, giving such a real story to the song as the singing coach said. Sydnie even stood stock still but for her arms, the whole time. She looked like she was in the west end, so they'll find her 'here' and she'll be there for real very soon, God willing.

[@richeswebcraft]

🙂Thanks Juliet. That's another excellent analysis, explaining all the subtleties of her voice and expression. That was definitely the best version of that song I've ever heard. I hope she gets her dream and becomes a great stage performer. She looks like she's got all the attributes needed. 👍

Hi Richard! 👋 yeah based on Lawrence’s comment, it sounds like she almost has that chance to star, hopefully the exposure on this show will give her that final push. She sure is lovable!

[@davidmiddleton7545]

I'm confidant that Sydnie will always connect with her audience. She has such a likable personality and carries that into her singing so well. The most precious moment in this audition for me was Sydnie saying shes never experienced anything like this before....and then said she felt hurt. I took this to mean she felt the audiences pain and this is certainly a testament to how well she sung this song.

[@dennisorwin8716]

Had Sydnie sang Tomorrow straight up, as a kid's song of ultimate optimism, it would have been terrific, givenher personality, tone, timbre, tremolo, vibrato, and power. But of course, being Sydnie, she made it a quite different song, of optimism transformed into pessimism, a very personal interpretation based on her failed career in musical theatre. Notice the last verse, where she drops the volume and pace, watch her facial expressions and body movements, and the change from "only" a day away to "always" a day away. Consider also that this is her first appearance of Sydnie as Sydnie, not 18 years of other theatre characters. This whole experience of audition and performances allows Sydnie to explode onto the music scene, I hope never to return to the theatre--concert stage all the way where her personality and performance skills, not to mention her adaptations, will put her in the same stratosphere as Celine and Barbra.

[@dp.2766]

Check out her mannerisms and body language, especially after the buzzer with the fist pump and kick, her stature, body language and mannerisms remind me of Suzy Quatro, who saw me thru puberty in the’70s..🤔🤔😜 all she needs is a black and yellow bell bottom jump suit to be the next “female Elvis” 🤩and the surprised look to the left at the audience after the first Diminished “tomorrow “ as if to say, “What happened to my voice… are You Surprised too?” And then a slight build and the whisper finish.. Total Manipulation! That’s what an audience Pays For. 👍 Makes me wish I was 45 years younger.🤣😹

[@janetwashington5090]

She acts the song, starting with a type of wishing for it. Then as her voice grows and comes from a deeper place, probably where hope lives. She grows there and desires us to grow in the hope that could be. And you ask the question, 'Could there honestly be a way?' Dare I actually hope for something better? Then she really does 'stick out her chin' and say the biggest YES! that could ever be said or sung. And by the end, the product is evident. And yes, quietly, hope truly is possible. And we, the audience have received from her, what she earnestly wanted to birth in us.....Hope. And boy, do we ever need it now! Well done Sydnie, and thank you so much. Your last name fits so perfectly. I mean what better hope for the child of all ages, than the hope of Christmas. What a blessing you are! And the audience display showed, how very hungry they were, we were to receive your gift of HOPE.💖

Masterclass Performance

[@wagonmaster1974]

When Sydnie took the stage, I thought she appeared to be an easy going quirky young lady. Enter a smile. Then, she started her humorous banter, without any of the typical drivel or drama, with the judges and my smile incorporated laughter. She named her song and I thought "uh, oh," remembering Simon's dislike for it. Then, she began to sing. I got chills, an incredible wave of emotion and tears. She changed one word in the lyrics to change the feel of the song. The line "only a day away' had the word "only" substituted by "always." The kid's song from Annie is not supposed to do all of that. This is a mature, grownup version. I will never think of "Tomorrow" in the same light. Sydnie set the bar. WOW! Theater awaits, or any other arena. That girl has personality and pipes! BTW, the overlaid "Over The Rainbow" is performed by Loren Allred. BTW, while I enjoyed your reaction and comments, I cannot believe you cut the judges' comments!!

[@jm844]

She's amazing

[@busterdee8228]

My favorite part of these competitions is that the singer gets to see the faces of those to which they have just given joy. It seems a very intimate exchange. In Sydnie's case, that intimacy was extended to "Tomorrow" as well.

[@dalebuck7168]

I knew that she had some serious training when she touched her nose on the mike before she began...such a pro thing to do...calm, align the chin, etc. , and then when she dropped into her chest for the big buildup, then dropping her head at the end...she is a pro ( not being disparaging, most contestants are pros, would love to see her live on stage ). Loved the audition and, of course, your reaction...
