You are correct that the West End is the Broadway of Britain. It is called the West End because of its location on the west side of London. This performance by Sydnie is truly amazing in every way. One aspect that is under-appreciated here occurs twice. One at 2:11 and again at 3:36. Sydnie places a rest just before those time points, then comes back in on higher notes. She comes in on those notes with flawless precision. No sliding into the notes, no vibrato, just perfectly clean. Many accomplished musicians, vocal or instrumental, have difficulty stopping and then coming back in perfectly on a new note, yet Sydnie made it seem easy. That is truly masterful. ❤🤩
@mikejaqua4604 she has such control, like you said with her breaks. She definitely is blessed with perfect pitch. 30 years I taught music and I sure can't do what she does. God given talent 💜
I love her. Best singer ever on the planet. She sings in a way that brings out all of your emotions! Impossible to explain. But amazing to watch. She has heaven in her and maybe that’s why her last name is Christmas
The uncontainable pressure of emotion expressed in Sydnie’s lovely face at the close of that performance touched me deeply. Superb reactions, my friends. Mission accomplished. 👍
Sydnie is now soaring with the bluebirds. She has been ignored because she always had to play and sing the way the director and producers wanted. I've spent some time working in musical theatre. The experience is great for training how to present a song, well learned by Sydnie, but the boundaries allow for no expression of personality or creativity. it took Sydnie's failure in that mode to realize she could be herself successfully. As she said to Ant and Dex following the golden buzzer, she had never felt that audience reaction before. Better get used to it, Syd.
I watched an interview she did recently and she has yet to watch this performance. She said she thought she did poorly and that she was off key! Not by my ear. Phenomenal.
The problem I see with her originally wanted to be on the West End, is that she is too good. She needs to be on tour and letting the world hear her voice. Not just those in the UK. She is just too good to be a broadway singer.
Exactly! In job interviews … she could have been “over qualified” or “ too good to fit in a team” -/-although she could do west end or broadway roles! She just had to start at BGT - so she could be accepted in “all Ends” of the world to showcase her performance art - “gifts” !❤❤❤
To your question, "Tomorrow" and then My Way and at the end Over the Rainbow". When Sydnie starts singing during "Tomorrow", her voice calms me down. It's just beautiful. You like listening to her.
@@pennymcneela7095 As I stated from a google article she "auditioned" but was never successful in achieving her goal of actually performing in the West End.
True but she never got the big break to make her a household name or a true leading lady on the West End stage or a global name, which her talent truly deserves.
Hello you two, Loren Allred sang this new version on AGT 2024 in the spring. She gave her the song for Sydnie. Sydnie then had 3 days to sing the song. Loren Allred is Sydnie Idol. By the way, I joined the Sydnie Reaction later because I saw Emma Kok's "Dancing on the Star" at the same time and that was great. By the way, Sydnie uploaded Starlight Express 2 days ago. Incredible.
I couldn't possible pick a favorite. Looking very much forward to seeing more from Sydnie. She actually managed to distract me from listening to Cecilia Bartoli...no mean feat I can tell you because that too, albeit a completely different genre, is one hell of a singer!
“Tomorrow” is my pick - from now on that’s the only version I want to hear of this song she slayed it - she completely made it her own , “Some Where Over The Rainbow” was the version that Loren Allred sang before on bgt and Sydnie got Loren’s ok to use her version( side note; Loren Allred is the lady that sang the song “Never Enough “ from the movie The Greatest Showman and just so happens to be Sydnie’s idol and someone that she really looks up to) that would be my number 2 and “My Way” is my 3rd favorite
Thank you for mentioning the lighting , I was a touring lightning engineer for 37 years and the lightning can break or make a show ,nice to be appreciated
This performance was not only absolutely phenomenal, it was out of this fucking world ... if we actually broadcoast something in the universe, we should put her song, the frequencies would alert or wake up any form of life!
I have never in all the years on either AGT or BGT seen a reaction from the judges at the announcement of the winner. Usually it a heartfelt standing ovation. But these guys went completely nuts! They were jumping up and down. I almost expected them to start throwing high fives at one another!
I hope, I hope, I hope that this wonderful star in the sky of the heart will finally find a worthy composer who will give her songs that are written just for her. She is a child of God, a beautiful person inside and out. The most beautiful woman I have ever seen and heard in the six decades of my life. God bless her and beware her from the unscrupulous profiteers of their business!
All three but if I have to pick one it's My Way and that's what sydnie gave us in every performance. Great reaction Ryan and Cindy looking forward to more from sydnie 👏🔥👑
Tomorrow showcase her talent. My Way showcase her performance that she is a diverse and masterful singer. Over the rainbow showcase her vocal control and range. I think Tomorrow was the best song! This is why she got the golden buzzer! She turned that song into a heartfelt beautiful song that everyone can relate to and this takes pure Talent!
The winner song for me was “Tomorrow” as well and the other 2 songs tied just couldn’t decide between them however for me and after seeing all of the performances tomorrow is my favorite, now “My way” is Sydnie’s favorite out of the bunch I saw her answer this question on a interview
Did you notice at 1:55 she looks down and to the right and has this little smile. Very cat like, she knows something you don't. She knows what is coming.
Thank you for getting to the finale as soon as you did. Both of you are so great at seeing things in performances that we, as viewers sometimes see, but aren't always pointed out by other reactors. We differ on which is our favorite and that's absolutely fine. To each their own, right? : ))) I love that young lady and haven't wanted to see other videos of her singing (that weren't on BGT) because I just couldn't imagine anything else would be as great as she was on BGT. I took a deep breath and "plunged in" to watch a video of her with a male singer. I was SOOOOOOOOOO WRONG!! The song is One Night Only. If you thought she had personality in her audition, you WILL fall in love with her all over again, with this video. She's just cute as a button and it shows a fantastic Pop side of her. She is wonderfully animated in the video and we get to see and hear a side of her that tells us she can sing ANY genre and in which she is just as captivating!!! I'm not asking you to react to it, unless you choose to. But just watching it, for the sheer fun of it, you WILL not be disappointed!! Here is the link to that video. Thank you again, you're fantastic reactors!! ua-cam.com/video/Ncf-zZRJKcc/v-deo.html
This is the most tenuous of connections to this song. The only connection is that the artist is English. I think both of you would appreciate Raye performing Oscar winning tears live at the Royal Albert Hall. She is performing with a massive orchestra and it’s phenomenal.
*Sydnie didn't want to do this song because her idol Loren Allred, who she loves had covered it. Loren video messaged her to go do it...and this is the winning performance we got* (The golden buzzer judge gave both to Loren & Sydnie)
@@lawrenceb5236 my way was my favourite, but loved them all. My choice was made after replaying Sinatras version that had been a favourite of mine for years , but after hearing synced it sounds flat. She has something that puts a tear in grown hardened men.
“Tomorrow”, I just can hear it over and over again, don’t get me wrong she’s great in the next two and was my pick from that first audition, but there is something about her first appearance that will stick with me forever.
I am a new subscriber to your channel. I like your commentary, which is the reason I subscribed. I also love Sydnie Christmas. Her voice is so powerful and then so soft. A truly amazing singer.I get goosebumps everytime I watch her 3 performances. If you haven't seen it, Sydnie has a video out titled 'One Night Only'. It's a whole other side to her. She is so goofy in the video and it's fun to watch. Also, if you haven't heard about the winner of American Idol, Abi Carter won. I've watched all her performances several times, starting with her audition. She is another singer who doesn't realize her talent. She too is an awesome human being. Love to hear your reactions to Sydnie's video and Abi Carters performances.
Broadway is the American version of the West End. The Theatre Royal Drury Lane which is still in operation, opened in 1663 ........... so the UK had a bit of a head start. I think the oldest on Broadway is the Hudson???? early 1900s?
Sydnie's BGT songs are all too good to pick a favourite, so would go with her personal favourite, My Way. It is quite a pity that you cut short the 'who's the winner' clip, as you missed Sydnie's comments about winning - really, she couldn't speak at first, remember? Then she shared with everyone in the concert hall, and beyond, "all the love" which was "amazing" that she has felt from all the support that has flooded her during her BGT journey: her voice indeed broke with emotion as she thanked everyone. A down to earth, English superstar is born. For anyone who hasn't found out yet, her parents and her brother & sister have all fully supported her all these years, not just her Nans. The camera was just focussed on her Nans so much, while much of her family were all there, too, as seen also at the end of her audition video.
You should have listen to what Sidney said after, you miss that, because that says all about she is a down to earth person. So look it up, dont be so hasty in your reactions❤
If you haven’t seen Loren Allred’s performances on bgt y’all should really check those out and that would make one better understand why Loren is sydnie’s idol - I really wish those two would do a duet
Their duet is in the pipeline already, as the idea was started straight after that performance on the BGT. If you look up "Sydnie's first interview after winning", a short video, it shows the discussion getting going, actually. Loren joined the conversation very soon afterwards.
Yes, the guy was a magician and an amazing one. Totally deserved to be in the final two. The audience and voters got it right this year for sure with this final two. At least that is my opinion.
Great reaction, as always. Maybe it's the song choice, but this was my least favorite performance out of the 3. No slight on her, it was still phenomenal.

She needs to be singing for King/Queen/President/Big Classy Celebrities Events!!!
Sydnie is amazing. A generational talent. Thank you so much for your heartfelt reactions ❤️.

Google: She had auditioned for shows in the West End without success.; has performed in shows on cruise ships (Grease & Starlight Express).
Her future is so bright 🌞
Sydnie hasn't been in West end in the uk.

I've watched these talent shows forever and she is by far the best I have ever seen. Her voice is impeccable.

She just released her version of Starlight Express. It’s awesome.
You really want to watch the runner up Jack Rhodes one of the funniest and best magicians you will ever see

Sydney get's 27% of the vote to Jack's 15%
All three but if I have to pick one it's My Way and that's what sydnie gave us in every performance. Great reaction Ryan and Cindy looking forward to more from sydnie 👏🔥👑
Good choice!
Yeah the West End would be regarded the same as you guys refer to Broadway
I like the lighting too! Really adds to the performance.
Thank you Vickie
Tomorrow showcase her talent. My Way showcase her performance that she is a diverse and masterful singer. Over the rainbow showcase her vocal control and range. I think Tomorrow was the best song!

Tomorrow, because for the first time, like Simon, I now care for the song.
Good choice.
Simon said he loved the song, not cared.
Love you two. Thank you. I liked tomorrow

I never wanted anyone to win as much as I wanted Ms.Christmas to win. Her personality and stage present perfect
Agreed 👍

You win
When you audition for a part you sing a song they choose. That isn't going to showcase her enormous talent.
Sydnie's BGT songs are all too good to pick a favourite, so would go with her personal favourite, My Way.

Check out Grace VanderWaal, that a age 12 won AGT with 4 of her original songs.

Ah. It's too bad you didn't wait long enough to hear Sydnie's comments after she won. It was wonderful.
I regret that. Looking back, I feel stupid for stopping when I did.
You know before this audition she was really sick something to do with her voice?
She still brought the 🔥 fire.
Great reaction, as always. Maybe it's the song choice, but this was my least favorite performance out of the 3. No slight on her, it was still phenomenal.

Enjoy your vaca South of the Border (Down Mexico Way)...
