Beth Roars Sydney was amazing all through out BGT she was My top one from start glad she won was amazing and I get my Sydney fix her singing every day. Hope her dreams come true, she did say she will keep singing lessons up with you coach singers at BGT her big fan xx
In 62 years of living and nearly 20 years of instrumental and vocal music performance, I have to truly say that Sydnie is one of the top 10 vocalists I've ever heard. When she gets her big, starring role on the West End, I will fly to the UK for the first time in my life, just to see her.
She is a fantastic singer but for over the rainbow you should listen to Lauren Allred which she sang sometime ago on AGT i believe and it is the same and they both sang it incredibly well. There’s nothing wrong in copying someone as good as Lauren mind you.
@@gianrobertoferrari7649 Sydnie did say that after the perfromance and also on a talk show that she used Lauren's arrangement. She also said that Lauren sent her a message congratulating her.
Agree she would dominate the west end, but I have to say, I think she is better than that, but I get it she needs to “pay her dues”. Whatever she does I WANT TO HEAR IT, amazing talent.
BEEN WATCHING HER VIDEOS DAILY-and several times- I AM BLUES FAN AND THIS GENRE IS ABSOLUTELY not IN MY WANNA HEAR MUSIC WOULD GET JAZZED TO SEE HER USE HER VOCAL GYMNASTICS and DO A COUPLE OF BLUES SONGS MAYBE Shakara S'IADA sic MY FAV IS "This Is Not A Love Song" any who SYD IS AND I MEAN IS EXAMPLE OF A SUPERIOR FEMALE SINGER her gymnastics and arrangement [ and am not an educated music person] are beyond this 81 year old has heard and Janis Joplin [who I talked to in San FRANCISCO] ALWAYS MY BIG FAV WOW ------WHAT A DEPARTURE !
I'm a HUGE Judy Garland fan and pretty much can't stand anyone else singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" because it just doesn't compare, but this version, good lord, this version has Judy and Sydnie and wistful and dreams and determination and joy and pain and hope and disappointment all wrapped up and my GOD can that woman open her mouth and sing. In close up shots you can see her uvula and the back of her mouth and how it's positioned and how it's vibrating and you know that this is the real deal. Like Simon said--are these people deaf that you are auditioning for? Well, they ain't deaf now cause she's done BLOWN the roof off the place. It truly is a Sydnie Mary Christmas!!!!
The very first time I heard her when she said,” Hallowwww!” during her audition song “tomorrow” , I was like “Jesus who is this girl?” I was not expecting that heavy Brit accent to come out of her sweet pretty face. I can’t tell you how many reaction vids I’ve watched of her 3 performances. They are all 3 so moving. So beautiful. She’s really something special
Interesting thought because I hear a bit of Liza Minelli in her voice when she sort of whisps the words at times. You know what I mean if you know Liza Minelli style and of course Liza is the daughter of Judy Garland. How fitting when Sydnie is singing Sonewhere Over the Rainbow.
Beth Tom here from the US I watch this over and over and over again. I have come to one conclusion. Sydnie sings her heart out, her gift is her heart I would so much love to meet her, Beth I saw those tears in your eyes, dont ever be afraid to show emotion, Syd does let it flow as it shows your heart.
😀your ‘reaction’ sounded like a truly ‘professional interpretation’ of a rare phenomenal “work of stage performing vocal art”! Yes! ‘Twas “personal/heartfelt” portrayal of “🎶my way🎶 by Sydnie. Many of us just deeply felt it! Thanks Beth, for your reaction - 😳🫡🤣makes us understand what happened! 😊🙏❤
The clarity and control in her voice is extremely powerful. She delivered the vocals tho. The charisma and posture on the stage is also otherworldly. She is a total package and i think we can call her a star and icon already. She is shining btw, even her eyes is also story telling us which is a part of a being an artist. Thank u so much for gorgeous and knowledgeable reaction to Syndnie dear Beth. Keep it up !!
I heard her say she had a new vocal coach who really helped her. I can't imagine anyone in Broadway or the West End rejecting her. I don't care how competitive they are, she is incomparable.
It's not just that she has got an amazing voice, she has the most wonderful personality and is beautiful inside and out, that makes her radiate this when she sings.
My thoughts on her singing...and i say this as a guy who grew up around singing with my mom singing professionally. The three songs sung by Miss Christmas for BGT are by FAR...my most favorite versions of those iconic songs ever sung. I sat up the other night thinking about what other songs I'd love to hear her sing...from Alphavilles "Forever Young" to The Eagles "Desperado" to Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"...and Berlin's "Take My Breath Away"...and i started making a list to suggest to her ...and ill be damned if it wasnt well over 200 iconic songs on my list. I immediately stopped creating the list after seeing how big it was getting. Her voice is PERFECT. It absolutely resonates right through me at my core. Crazy good. The perfect pitch, sniper control, and buttery tonal variations are perfect. I can't get enough of her singing. I'm not at all embarrassed about the number of times I've listened to her 3 songs she sang on BGT. My only problem now is...How do we get her to sing the 5,000 songs in my musical index???❤ Dusty Springfield "You Don't Own Me"❤
Lots of us have songs we want her to sing.... Let her pick 'em. Seems like she could make any song a gem. Would like her to do some Chrismas songs,however. It's only fitting.
Amazing how a singer like this can go around auditioning etc and still be pretty much unknown by 28. Here's to hoping this will be the start of a glowing career! I, for one, will certainly be looking out for her future performances and , hopefully, album.
She's been working in the West End shows for years. Just like Sam Bailey from X Factor ( a far more accomplished singer) had been singing all over the world for many years. These people are not new to the world of singing.
These performances by Sydnie are simply magnificent. And no matter how many times I watch and listen, my appetite for them never dulls. Sydnie is supreme - simply the best. Let’s ’ave it, you lovely girl. ❤️ A cogent and compelling analysis, Beth, delivered with poise, professionalism and lilting eloquence. I thank you most sincerely.👍
I think she used these three songs as her resume for the directors and theater talent agencies for her chance to star on the West End. For me she is worth hundreds of dollars ticket price to hear her in a performance. May God’s blessing on her voice be a gift for the ages to come❤❤❤❤
you hit the nail on the head, there are so so many talented singers knocking on the door,s of the west end, thankfully this talented, and ,well just gorgeous ,funny young lady has taken her chance, A star is born, enjoy your journey syd, do not change.
What it must have been like to be in that audience. WOW!! All 3 of Sydnie's performances were Outstanding, but this is my favorite. In fact, it's my all time favorite vocal performance on any talent show---EVER! Humble, self-deprecating, incredibly funny, and beautiful inside and out. FYI In 17 years of BGT, no female singer had ever won. And I'd be surprised if the vote count was close. She is simply A Voice for the Ages!!! Great reaction, Beth. 💕
😮Wow! Good to know … she IS so amazing! Truly wish in my lifetime (hurry SYDNIE! ) to attend her even just one of her upcoming concerts! Could you PLEASE let SYDNIE know - a lot of us around the world, I guess, need her to “LET’s ‘AVE IT!” ❤❤❤
She's a truly incredible, one in a trillion singer, and a humble and beautiful person to match. Credits to you Beth for your wonderful insights and masterful examples. 🎶🌟💚💟
I am 66 years old living in Florida with cancer surviving alone with my 2 boxers. I listen to these shows since the beginning and I have done tons of cruising pre covid. I loved the shows but never saw Syd personally. Now my musical career consisted of me in elementary in a choir hitting a note and the teacher stopped everything and wanted to know who did that and I was afraid. My mom was a homemaker but was in the church and took her singing seriously and in high school I would yell at her to let me sleep. Wow do I feel like a schmuck. One thing I have come to appreciate and love so much is seeing people'e reactions of happiness and experience something so beautiful. I love bringing a smile to peoples faces for sure but Im not that special but watching Syd just absolutely change people's entire mental environment. I saw you cry, I need to take a break from binge watching these 3 performances because my skin is tired from goosing up on me. Oh I am so happy for her but I also must express my love to Ireland and England worked for BT for years been to Ipswich to the Labs, over to Northern Ireland when bombs were exploding on the runways at Heathrow BUT the people over there are amazing and beautiful. Beth (hope thats your real name) I think you are so just amazingly gorgeous when you express your true feelings about Syd you pop on your chair smile just exude your feelings. Just awesome. Thank you and I will always watch you.
What a lovely comment. I hope you research Joe Tippens protocol for cancer. There are many success stories and there is so much hope. 🙏🏻❤️. Blessings to you.
What precision on that last 'My Way'. Stupendous! That last note, was like it had her, and she had it. She had to like unhook herself from it, in order for her to stop; to end the song; or it would have just taken her to the moon or something. Absolutely tremendous! And, boy, was I ever glad to be along for that ride; so thrilling. Shivering me timbers, & stuff like that! Woooh!😂
Did you miss her first audition, where she got the golden buzzer? It's a must-see, particularly seeing her personality when they talk to her. I'm going to look for your reaction to that. Rob
She actually sang Loren Allred's rendition of this song (that was who was singing it in the Golden Buzzer video, if you didn't know). Loren is her idol and gave Sydnie her blessing to sing this version! :) Great reaction as always!
Sydnie did say that after the performance and also on a talk show that she used Lauren's arrangement. She also said that Lauren sent her a message congratulating her.
Beth, you are my new favourite vocal reviewer. Glad I stumbled across you. Love your precise, clear explanations of all the parts I'm interested in. I learned so much from just this one review. Will go on to listen to more from you now. Thank you!
I love to see the joy on the faces of those who understand and teach music when watching Sydnie. It speaks volumes to the aptitude of Sydnie Christmas. I am so happy she gave it another go at choosing singing as a profession otherwise she would have been a physical therapist with a massive unknown talent.
The finals song remembers you of the greatest showman because Sydnie sang Loren Allred version of the song, the singer of never enough of the greates showman
As a someone who can’t sing to save my own life, I can appreciate how hard this must be to pull off. My analogy is as if someone willingly jumps into a rip tide and holds gracefully, coming out of the water again without a strand of hair out place. I’m not a fan of the style, but the technique is out of this world. Executed to perfection.
Diosssssss que hermosa voz que hermosa canción que hermosa cantante que hermosa reacción que hermosa coach el vídeo lo tiene todo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀 mi H Prrj 💙💜
I immediately thought of Shirley Bassey when I first heard her, and especially after hearing her version of My Way. Then I went and listened to Shirley Bassey sing My Way, and with all respect to Ms. Bassey, whose voice I love, but Sydnie’s version clobbers hers. IMHO at least. 😊
It was great that BGT set up such amazing backdrops for her vocals. Plus she looked like a star. It made her wonderful vocals even better. She is a star in every sense of the word......and she's no deva....a regular, down to earth person....now that's really refreshing.
It’s easy. Musical theater cast is character based performance in a relatively medium or small venue. She is obviously too talented to play someone else.She is so nuclear powerful that she needed a huge venue and crowd to turn her power loose! Those casting directors didn’t know what she was capable of and agents who turned her down have probably hung themselves by now lol.
Casting for those shows goes beyond just the vocal talent and technicality; they're also looking at your physique (are you the right height, shape, size, etc) especially if the role involves dance elements to it (which many of them will). I've had friends who have had to quickly put on weight just to secure a call back, and others who were turned away because they were too short. There is some leniency when it comes to household names or celebrities though, but largely it will depend on the casting team how strict they are when it comes to finding what they're looking for (and they already know exactly what they want most of the time before anyone sets foot inside).
Superstar voice. Superstar personality. The way she thanks the audience after every performance, and wishes them all to experience the love she has been shown is heartwarming. I love watching vocal coaches react to her, including yourself, because the joy you all show when she hits those notes proves just how special her voice is.
Beth - About that shift you point out on "DARE" (in "that you dare to dream..."), where the vowel opens to an AH sound: This is one of several places in all three of Sydnie's BGT performances where (to my ear, anyway) she channels Barbra Streisand. Do you hear it? Other Streisand moments I noticed included: in "Tomorrow," the second line "Bet your bottom dollar"; and, in "My Way," the way she fairly chomped on that sound "choo" in "more than I could CHEW." For just those fleeting moments, I could see Barbra right there, in her early twenties, at the mic with Sydnie. Of course I hear other greats as well -- Judy Garland and Liza Minelli and some others mentioned in other comments. I love that Sydnie isn't imitating anyone, but the community of great singers shines through her.
Have listened to her sing so so many times..over and over…she’s uniquely appealing and magical……..hope no one intrudes on how she sounds …..she’s spectacular
😀your ‘reaction’ sounded like a truly ‘professional interpretation’ of a rare phenomenal “work of stage performing vocal art”! Yes! ‘Twas “personal/heartfelt” portrayal of “🎶my way🎶 via Sydnie’s own craft. Many of us jolted deeply with it! Thanks Beth, for your reaction - 😳🫡🤣makes us understand what happened! 😊🙏❤
I don't even like Broadway music and Sydnie absolutely floored me. I mean chills, goosebumps.... She's a generational talent and my wife and I will pay to go see her live, for sure! And she's sooo down to earth and sweet to top it off. Superstar!
I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷 I love your technical comments, about singers and new voices appearing in the world. In my opinion, this woman wins this edition of Got Talent, which Voz ❤️
I rewatch this over and over and over again and the tears the joy the emotions that are received, to me this marks an incredible singer that moves us to places that we would normally never get to with an average singer. I think that is the job of a vocal entertainer is to take us on that journey and give us all those wonder feelings and emotions. My skin is tired lol.
I love your analysis! I've seen dozens of reactions but you are the first to really explain why I love Sydnie singing these songs so much! I hear Shirley Bassey (Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever) in My Way. Brassy, belty, powerful! She reminds me of Barbra Streisand, too. Thank you for your insight!
🙏Likewise! Same thoughts about Barbra, too! Maybe the Yentl song “Papa can you hear me?” Thank YOU BETH, for putting your genuinely honest reaction - so, we did not just imagine the magic & effect of the gift in her personality & vocals! ❤❤❤
Maybe it's because coaches hear so many singers, but I'm a bit surprised that none have said she's one of the greatest singers of all times. I recently read someone said a star is born, which is putting it lightly. What a gifted young woman.😁
Well done on "fable". Yea she's fantastic & loved your reaction & analysis. Loren preceded her on Bgt then on AGT with that version of over the rainbow & give her her blessing to nod to it having been through the experience the year previous. It's so lovely & I hope they collaborate. Also she gives credit to Annabel Williams I think is her last name the Bgt vocal coach academy with helping her achieve there. So that's why a vocal coach is great . The are is more hiberno English or brogue as some refer to it. It's in other words a softer Gaelic r sound likr errror....instead of awr or ehrh.the more English & Scottish r sound
I think she is a great singer with great personality. When she sings she reaches your heart and stays there. It remains in your mind and you sing the way she sings. Now she owns the song.
I watch these over and over again and always pick up on new things. You commented about Syd and Somewhere Over the Rainbow has "The Greatest Showman" qualities. One thing I know is that Syd's top idol is Loren Allred so I would bet she adds that in there for sure and Syd wants to do a collaboration with her. Can you imagine. OMG
Loren Allred needs a little credit for Over The Rainbow. Sydnie talks about doing Loren’s version. Sydnie has Shirley Bassey and Ethel Merman voice and performance qualities. Sydnie is a show stopping performer. I think she may have auditioned for the wrong parts in the West End. Love her!👍🌹❤️
Sydnie has stated a few times that one of her idols is Loren Allred. She said she’d love to do a collaboration with her. And yes she credits Loren with Over The Rainbow. It was her arrangement.
I get so tickled watching your reactions to a phenomenal voice. Like a kid in a candy store. Sydnie's version of "My Way" is better than any I have heard since Frank did it, That is easy. As for "Over The Rainbow," I have struggled with it over the past decade or so. Judy Garland's performance of the song reigned supreme until I heard Eva Cassidy. Judy was demoted to number two. Then, I heard Loren's version. I am not real fond of the musicality of Loren's version, but she performed it beautifully, so she became number three. Then, along comes this full of life, funny, expressive young lady from Kent, who absolutely blows the roof off with her version. Loren got bumped to number four, and Sydnie moved into the number three spot, for me. Eva will always be my number one choice, and I can't discount Judy, So that puts Sydnie at the top of the list for the off version. Regardless, a spellbinding young woman. Great presentation, Beth, as usual!

Would stop analyzing stop explaining why she is magnificent

Even Judy Garland is standing on a cloud giving her a standing ovation.
Along with Frank Sinatra.
Interesting thought because I hear a bit of Liza Minelli in her voice when she sort of whisps the words at times. You know what I mean if you know Liza Minelli style and of course Liza is the daughter of Judy Garland. How fitting when Sydnie is singing Sonewhere Over the Rainbow.

I heard her say she had a new vocal coach who really helped her. I can't imagine anyone in Broadway or the West End rejecting her. I don't care how competitive they are, she is incomparable.
It was BGT’s vocal coach Sydnie said helped her so much; and was planning to use some of her winning money on more lessons with her.

It's not just that she has got an amazing voice, she has the most wonderful personality and is beautiful inside and out, that makes her radiate this when she sings.
She's good but not amazing. You people should stop saying she has an amazing personality because you don't actually know her in real life.

Oh yah Dusty’s songs, too! She can sing 🎤 any, I guess!
I would love to hear her sing The Greatest Love of All compared to Whitney's version.
Sydnie, The Universe Loves You❤❤❤❤
Lots of us have songs we want her to sing.... Let her pick 'em. Seems like she could make any song a gem. Would like her to do some Chrismas songs,however. It's only fitting.
Never heard so many vocals teachers give her so much credit she will go right to top
Have you ever heard any of these vocal teachers sing. Most of them are not that good.

The finals song remembers you of the greatest showman because Sydnie sang Loren Allred version of the song, the singer of never enough of the greates showman
As a someone who can’t sing to save my own life, I can appreciate how hard this must be to pull off. My analogy is as if someone willingly jumps into a rip tide and holds gracefully, coming out of the water again without a strand of hair out place. I’m not a fan of the style, but the technique is out of this world. Executed to perfection.
Sydnie won the crowd over at her audition with her lovely personality!!
Love Sydnie! Beth you are delightful to watch, you seem like sweet person. Love your accent!
Diosssssss que hermosa voz que hermosa canción que hermosa cantante que hermosa reacción que hermosa coach el vídeo lo tiene todo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀 mi H Prrj 💙💜
Beautifuly gifted. Reminds me a little to Shirley Bassy too.
I immediately thought of Shirley Bassey when I first heard her, and especially after hearing her version of My Way. Then I went and listened to Shirley Bassey sing My Way, and with all respect to Ms. Bassey, whose voice I love, but Sydnie’s version clobbers hers. IMHO at least. 😊
OMG, Why did she need to come on AGT to be found? SO GOOD, and she's so genuinely likable.
Thanks a million! You gave us great insight and entertainment. Brilliant
Sydnie gives me ‘Shirley Bassey’ vibes, rippling right across a pond of goosebumps! 😮❤😅
Dynamics and Phrasing is an art form. It's what made Ethel Merman and so many other dynamic singers famous. Liza Minelli learned it from her mother.
It was great that BGT set up such amazing backdrops for her vocals. Plus she looked like a star. It made her wonderful vocals even better. She is a star in every sense of the word......and she's no deva....a regular, down to earth person....now that's really refreshing.
How anyone could pass her up for musical theater is beyond me
It’s easy. Musical theater cast is character based performance in a relatively medium or small venue. She is obviously too talented to play someone else.She is so nuclear powerful that she needed a huge venue and crowd to turn her power loose! Those casting directors didn’t know what she was capable of and agents who turned her down have probably hung themselves by now lol.
@@jim99west46 bang on, needed to be centre of stage, doing what syd does, and she does it to perfection, god bless her.
Casting for those shows goes beyond just the vocal talent and technicality; they're also looking at your physique (are you the right height, shape, size, etc) especially if the role involves dance elements to it (which many of them will).
I've had friends who have had to quickly put on weight just to secure a call back, and others who were turned away because they were too short. There is some leniency when it comes to household names or celebrities though, but largely it will depend on the casting team how strict they are when it comes to finding what they're looking for (and they already know exactly what they want most of the time before anyone sets foot inside).
She's been working in musical theatre in the West End for many years. She's not new.
What a voice!!!! Get it girl!!!
Superstar voice.
Superstar personality.
The way she thanks the audience after every performance, and wishes them all to experience the love she has been shown is heartwarming.
I love watching vocal coaches react to her, including yourself, because the joy you all show when she hits those notes proves just how special her voice is.
Beth - About that shift you point out on "DARE" (in "that you dare to dream..."), where the vowel opens to an AH sound: This is one of several places in all three of Sydnie's BGT performances where (to my ear, anyway) she channels Barbra Streisand. Do you hear it? Other Streisand moments I noticed included: in "Tomorrow," the second line "Bet your bottom dollar"; and, in "My Way," the way she fairly chomped on that sound "choo" in "more than I could CHEW." For just those fleeting moments, I could see Barbra right there, in her early twenties, at the mic with Sydnie. Of course I hear other greats as well -- Judy Garland and Liza Minelli and some others mentioned in other comments. I love that Sydnie isn't imitating anyone, but the community of great singers shines through her.
You sound great too and your knowledge and descriptiobs so specific thank you!
Brilliant analysis. I enjoyed this very much. Sydnie is incredible. ❤
Ela se transformou em uma linda borboleta que canta e i canta os puro de alma.... 🦋 🦋
Hell of a voice.
The one part that gets me every time is towards the end of Over the Rainbow when she sings, "Why oh Why" It just goes right through you....
Have listened to her sing so so many times..over and over…she’s uniquely appealing and magical……..hope no one intrudes on how she sounds …..she’s spectacular
😀your ‘reaction’ sounded like a truly ‘professional interpretation’ of a rare phenomenal “work of stage performing vocal art”! Yes! ‘Twas “personal/heartfelt” portrayal of “🎶my way🎶 via Sydnie’s own craft. Many of us jolted deeply with it! Thanks Beth, for your reaction - 😳🫡🤣makes us understand what happened! 😊🙏❤
I don't even like Broadway music and Sydnie absolutely floored me. I mean chills, goosebumps.... She's a generational talent and my wife and I will pay to go see her live, for sure! And she's sooo down to earth and sweet to top it off. Superstar!
Realmente uma linda voz !!!eu em meus 46 anos nunca me emocionei e chorei cm nenhum cantor até hoje ela tocou minha alma como Ninguém!!!❤
Your red hair is so beautiful...... And your excitement for top performance is reflective of your inner beauty.
She is amazing i get chills constantly
Love, Love, Love her. Get them recordings started Sydnie. You will make a fortune 💖💖💖
Beth sei magicamente spassosa, molto competente (si sente che hai una voce meravigliosa) e... sei bella... con quei capelli rossi. 😘
Love the way you have done this. And now I know that you are an awesome singer yourself. ❤
I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷
I love your technical comments, about singers and new voices appearing in the world.
In my opinion, this woman wins this edition of Got Talent, which Voz ❤️
I rewatch this over and over and over again and the tears the joy the emotions that are received, to me this marks an incredible singer that moves us to places that we would normally never get to with an average singer. I think that is the job of a vocal entertainer is to take us on that journey and give us all those wonder feelings and emotions. My skin is tired lol.
Thank you...I really enjoyed watching Sydnie with you.
I'm so glad!
I love your analysis! I've seen dozens of reactions but you are the first to really explain why I love Sydnie singing these songs so much! I hear Shirley Bassey (Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever) in My Way. Brassy, belty, powerful! She reminds me of Barbra Streisand, too. Thank you for your insight!
🙏Likewise! Same thoughts about Barbra, too! Maybe the Yentl song “Papa can you hear me?” Thank YOU BETH, for putting your genuinely honest reaction - so, we did not just imagine the magic & effect of the gift in her personality & vocals! ❤❤❤
She is a very special lady!
She is so Streisand. Those tonal changes remind me of Make it Like a Memory. Brilliant.
I was just going to say Streisand (the resonance in her lower ), but thought I’d rather see if somebody beat me to it. 😊
Sydnie brings me to tears when she sings! Do you hear tones of Shirley Bassey?
when I heard her audition I hoped she would win love her voice
🇲🇹🇲🇹❤️❤️🇲🇹🇲🇹, such a joy. Muchklove from the Maltese lslands
You should watch her BGT audition where she earned a golden buzzer with her heartfelt performance of “Tomorrow”.
Maybe it's because coaches hear so many singers, but I'm a bit surprised that none have said she's one of the greatest singers of all times. I recently read someone said a star is born, which is putting it lightly. What a gifted young woman.😁
Love the over the rainbow
Absolutely.. she is off the charts
Few people on your YT channel understood what you were talking about. And few people understood what the "phenomenon" of Sydnie's vocals is.
The joy in your face says it all!
I absolutely adore her version of Tomorrow. It really brings a different feel to such a well known classic.
Michael Jordan was put on this planet to play basketball. Sydnie was put on this planet to SING!!
What a voice what a singer here me up Sydnie just be your self you gonna be a legend one day like Enya i said before .
It's so cool you picked up on the Greatest Showman sound on Over The Rainbow - Sydney adapted this version from Lauren Allred's version on AGT :)
Well done on "fable". Yea she's fantastic & loved your reaction & analysis. Loren preceded her on Bgt then on AGT with that version of over the rainbow & give her her blessing to nod to it having been through the experience the year previous. It's so lovely & I hope they collaborate. Also she gives credit to Annabel Williams I think is her last name the Bgt vocal coach academy with helping her achieve there. So that's why a vocal coach is great . The are is more hiberno English or brogue as some refer to it. It's in other words a softer Gaelic r sound likr errror....instead of awr or ehrh.the more English & Scottish r sound
First time I've seen your channel but am obsessed with this version. Love how you break this down. New subscriber here
Awesome! Thank you!
Love watching her!
Why are You Not up there????? You have the Pitch And Control!!!!!!! Please make that Move. You're perfect for the Big Show!!
I think she is a great singer with great personality. When she sings she reaches your heart and stays there. It remains in your mind and you sing the way she sings. Now she owns the song.
She is fantastic singing starlight express absolutely amazing voice
you are awsome Beth!!!!!
I watch these over and over again and always pick up on new things. You commented about Syd and Somewhere Over the Rainbow has "The Greatest Showman" qualities. One thing I know is that Syd's top idol is Loren Allred so I would bet she adds that in there for sure and Syd wants to do a collaboration with her. Can you imagine. OMG
Loren Allred needs a little credit for Over The Rainbow. Sydnie talks about doing Loren’s version. Sydnie has Shirley Bassey and Ethel Merman voice and performance qualities. Sydnie is a show stopping performer. I think she may have auditioned for the wrong parts in the West End. Love her!👍🌹❤️
Sydnie has stated a few times that one of her idols is Loren Allred. She said she’d love to do a collaboration with her. And yes she credits Loren with Over The Rainbow. It was her arrangement.
FINALLY! Someone else thought of Ethel Merman… that’s what I thought of first as a classic singer.
I get so tickled watching your reactions to a phenomenal voice. Like a kid in a candy store. Sydnie's version of "My Way" is better than any I have heard since Frank did it, That is easy. As for "Over The Rainbow," I have struggled with it over the past decade or so. Judy Garland's performance of the song reigned supreme until I heard Eva Cassidy. Judy was demoted to number two. Then, I heard Loren's version. I am not real fond of the musicality of Loren's version, but she performed it beautifully, so she became number three. Then, along comes this full of life, funny, expressive young lady from Kent, who absolutely blows the roof off with her version. Loren got bumped to number four, and Sydnie moved into the number three spot, for me. Eva will always be my number one choice, and I can't discount Judy, So that puts Sydnie at the top of the list for the off version. Regardless, a spellbinding young woman. Great presentation, Beth, as usual!
Brilliant 👍and she is fit
🌸 For giving IZ a smile.
Honestly, there's so much more from the Britain's Got Talent vault that you'll love! Tom Ball is another.
Loved your reaction! I’ve just subscribed! ❤️
Thanks for subbing!
Lovely review. I know nothing about singing but enjoyed your comments!
Truly outstanding😅
Hi Beth. Sydnie has an incredible voice. You need to look up Inger Lise Hope from Norway. She won the voice there. Mind blowing. Love the hair,
