Sharing The Stage With Icons Like Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, Jennifer Hudson, Kristin Chenoweth, And More! This Is A Huge Milestone For A “Newcomer” Like Sydnie!
LESS than a year ago, Sydnie Christmas was ready to give up on her dream of making it in music after setbacks caused her to fall out of love with the industry.
But a final throw of the dice in applying for Britain’s Got Talent saw her fortunes finally change – with the singer crowned champion of the ITV show earlier this summer.

Since then work has been coming thick and fast.
And her latest offer appears to have fallen straight out of a Hollywood film script.
Over the weekend Sydnie took to the stage at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to perform as part of music legend David Foster’s 75th birthday bash.
David, who has won a staggering 16 Grammys during his career, first discovered Sydnie after her manager, Professor Jonathan Shalit OBE, sent him a clip of her on BGT shortly after she won the show.
“When I walked into rehearsals and heard Jennifer I thought it was a C, then I saw her, someone I’ve idolised during my career, and I cried,” Sydnie tells Bizarre’s Jack Hardwick backstage.
“I was going to call it quits.
“I’d applied for BGT four times, but each time I would pull out of the process.
“It was my last chance.
“I was falling out of love with the industry.
“Now I’m here, it’s remarkable.”
During her trip to LA, Sydnie has hit the ground running – squeezing in everything from shooting a music video with The Greatest Showman’s Loren Allred, to a glamorous dinner with BGT judges Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli in West Hollywood.
And that’s all before she took to the stage at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday night.
Sydnie adds: “Amanda is so lovely to me.
“She is only a message away if I ever need her.
“It’s the same with Bruno.
“They both just want me to do well.
“They want what’s best.
“It’s lovely to have people believe in you like that.”
As she hangs out with me over the weekend, it’s clear to see Sydnie is laser focused on her career.
As we kill time in her dressing room, I can’t resist a glass or two of the free flowing white wine.
Sydnie on the other hand sticks to water and tea, including Twinning’s calming Camomile for her nerves.
“I will not drink until after the Hollywood Bowl performance and hopefully I’ll be celebrating,” Sydnie laughs.
“The one person I need to really impress is myself as I can be so nervous for one but also I can be so critical of myself.
“I want to take all of this in.
