She is my cousin. She’s wanted this since she was 3 years old. She used stand on a chair and sing at our family Christmas meal 😂 She’s been working her socks off since then! She is the embodiment of ’hard work pays off’. Go on, Syd!

Someone who has preformed on broadway or in music videos or with supporters does NOT mean they have “made it”. She has every right to compete as an amateur. People who criticize are those whom aren’t competing! Sydnie is INCREDIBLE.

so what if she already had a little career? she wants more, and what is wrong with that? Go get it Sydnie. Rooting for you!

It is ridiculous for people to complain. Sydnie is someone that 95% of have never heard of. The performance that she gave us was an incredible display of the power of her voice and her ability to perform. She is an amazing force on the stage! I can’t wait to see her again!

Haters are going to hate. Sydnie is one of the best artists I have heard in a very long time. She wasn't known before this episode....leave her alone people. Go Sydnie. I wish we in America could vote. You'd have my vote.

She has had some professional singing experience. AND. Maybe now she will get the recognition her talent warrants. Good luck to Sydnie. Go get em. xx

The bottom line is before her audition, millions of people had no idea who Sydnie Christmas was. Now after her audition, millions of people absolutely know who Sydnie Christmas is...mission accomplished! I sincerely hope she wins it all!

Had she not been on BGT I would never have learned about her including many other very talented artists. She is deserving!

The key word here is "LITTLE" career . Does this mean anyone wit unbelievable God given talent has no right to try and make it a larger career? I thought the basis of BGT was to give talent a stage where they could be dicovered.If that is not what BGT was trying to do then why have to program at all ? Sydnie is just so AMAZING ! Thank you Sydnie for sharing your talent with the world. Love from Canada eh !!

Historically in these talent shows, there have been a lot of singers who have had some experience, while some others are told to get some lessons and come back another year. Sydnie has earned her place and, personally, I hope she bloody wins it!

She deserve what she got. She is very talented and touches the audience heart and soul when she sings.

She won our hearts ❤️❤️❤️

C'mon Sydnie!! Let's have it!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Jealousy always brings contemp. Talent always brings fear to others.

BGT introduces an artist to a significantly larger audience so good for her!

I want recordings of Sydnie; i want her headlining in Vegas.

She is amazing. Sydnie this is your break. I’m routing for her to win

Jealous much?? There are plenty of folks looking for a second chance. She is amazing and wish her tons of success

Who cares about her past experiences ?? She is an absolute doll with a stunning voice and an infectious personality. She's a refreshing addition this year.

Sydnie is a beautiful and very talented young artist. She has a wonderful and confident personality, and she has a God gifted vocal range. Sydnie's previous experience is something called work. She is climbing the ladder toward her goals. I give her my respect and support. Keep climbing Sydnie, and you will achieve your goals.

I could care less about her past performances. Loren Allred went thru the same crap on BGT about her professional past, and in the end, that's probably what kept her from winning. Because she was hands down the most talented. But Sydnie is different. She had the talent show universe eating out of her hand before she even performed. I think a lot of us thought she was a standup comedian---so incredibly funny. Her audition is my all time favorite, and at 81, I've seen a few. I've never seen a more likable contestant. And then she just knocked it out of the park with her singing performance. Now she has to try and beat that. Not an easy task. Song choice is key to her winning. I'm hoping she stays with Broadway/West End songs like "She Used to Be Mine" or something from Le Mis. Also maybe Lauren Daigle's "You Say". Whatever happens she had her moment with that Wonderful audition, and no one can take that from her.

Her voice is insanely good & she clearly has the charisma & talent to do music professionally. I hope all her dreams come true! We all have pasts. And I'm sorry, but if you have a dream & never do anything towards making it a reality... then you don't really care about that dream. It's more impressive that she has put in the work imo. Of course tv producers likely told her to tone down her resume so it looked better for tv. It's literally HER DREAM... who cares if she had to tell a few harmless lies to make it come true. There will always be bitter people when there is someone courageous enough to put in the effort of chasing their dreams. It makes those scared to do that feel better about their lack of action if they can stop someone elses dream in It's tracks or prove they don't deserve it. Misery loves company. Keep going Sydney! Your voice is an absolute gift & the fact that you've trained it shows you value your gift❤

She is an outstanding talented lady. We are lucky that she shared her singing talent with us at BGT. I enjoyed watching her audition.

I think she is wonderful in the present. Criticizing her past proves nothing. Her personality and talent are refreshing. I am sick of the trolls.

Sydnie is amazing. And will win multiple awards (Tony, Grammy etc). She’s so talented. Can’t wait to hear her next songs!

This Lady deserves to shine, any criticism is just jealousy. Well done Sydnie. I'm voting for you. Your so brilliant. Congratulations on being voted straight through to Sundays Final in todays semi final show, you smashed it x

People will crawl out from under their rocks and be haters. She was wonderful and her performance was amazing.

Immensely talented, down to earth, wonderful personality. She is so real and genuine. Sydnie To WIN!!

Sydnie has come a long way since those performances on cruise ships in musicals. Her interpretation and vocal control has truly grown. You can't sustain a life aboard a ship for a long time so she would have had to come back to reality and work the everyday jobs to make ends meet. In the meantime she's obviously hoping to be properly exposed for her great talent and this is the platform she has chosen. She could have chosen to build up a KZfaq career with followers but instead she chose this. Good for her. I hope she does really well and gets to make beautiful music with proper benefits in the not-too-distant future.

She's awesome no matter what ❤

She is so talented and I am happy that BGT brought her to the world.

All this tells me is that she has been working her butt off for years and never got the big break she deserves. I hope she wins everything!

She's amazing!! Give credit where credit is due. When you have to demean and criticize others to feel better about yourself you need to seek counseling! ❤❤

She is the most intelligent and talented singer of ALL TIMES HER GIFT IS DIRECTLY FROM HEAVENLY REALMS. THIS IS HOW HEAVEN WILL SOUND LIKE, BUT PRAISING THE KING 👑 OF KINGS 👑🙏🥰

Just because she has done musical theater does not mean that is where her heart is for singing. Talent is talent no matter how you cone by it.

BGT is exactly what the show is about. She wants to further her career rather than being front desk at a gym. Sour grapes in who criticizes her

She’s wonderful!! Great personality ya just gotta love her

Well duh you can’t have a voice that good and also the desire to make a career of it and not have some small amount of success. However that’s not the dream. It’s to make it big and be successful and these shows are the perfect opportunity❤️

So what? I am from Indonesia, never heard her before and now I am looking forward to her records 🎉 congratulations Sydnie 🎉

Performing and having a contract are two different things.

She will go far the world is in for a treat, critic’s be Damned 👍🏼💕💕

These shows are running out of talent from the public they need people like this to continue

BRILLIANT 🙌🙌🙌 Sydnie deserves every good thing and is WORTHY of this recognition 🎉

Luv her humor and singing ! Excellent !

Obviously she didn’t come out of completely nowhere. But she is of a caliber of talent, I’m glad she graced the BGT stage and got a lot more exposure. She took a world class stage and brought the house down. Good for her and exciting to see it happen for her. She went for it. She conquered.

A professional singer who still was working as a receptionist in a gym! Enough said. Professional experience or not, she deserves her place as she has raw talent as an everyday person. Just because she’s pursued her passion in her life and performed before doesn’t mean she’s not deserving. So many other contestants have. She earned her place and deserves a win just as anyone else.

golden voice Sydnie.

Sydnie to win bgt she gives you such a warm feeling that comes from her heart . Such a lovely person should get all she deserves

I didnt know who she was until britains got talent, not everyone watches the same show or go to the west end, so jog on haters.

Never heard of the lass, then heard her sing, fully deserves being the winner. The clue is in the programme title...Britain's Got Talent, it is not called Britain's got undiscovered talent.

Sydnie is a wonderful performer and I hope she goes on to have an amazing career.

Doesn't matter what you did before that performance, doesn't matter at all. What matters is the Performance, it was wonderful .

She deserves to win she is amazing

She's never been signed on any record deal and people didn't know her until she audittioned. She therefore meets the criteria to compete on BGT

She's amazing, I love her, her personality and how naturally funny she is, so what if she's done some professional gigs. I've never heard of her I hope she wins it

Sydnie is an extraordinary singing talent and a wonderful person with humor and heart.

The best singer ever been on BGT, an absolute superstar in the making.

Doesnt matter. Shes talented & now the world knows her.

She skilled … rare , purer artist- she work is only walking in your love ❤️ drama Broadway is a hard business

She earned it shes a great singer I wish her all the best for her future ❤

All these people hating on her because she had performed before. So did Adam Lambert! So what. She deserves all the accolades and amazing things coming her way! A voice like that doesn’t come along every season

She will now make millions and deserves it!

Go Sydney!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Her awesome talent, personality, and aura definitely make her a deserving winner!

Well I had never heard of her, and now I do, and that’s because of BGT. I want to buy every album she makes. Good on her for reaching higher and going for it!

Wow !!! Perfection ♥️

Exactly why is this scattered info even important???? Syndie earned the Golden Buzzer for her talent as a singer and performer. Her past life stories is her business and not important to her her present or future. I hope she finds her "break" and becomes a recognized entertainer. Her voice is remarkable.

She is fantastic

She’s a singer mate. Of coarse she has experience. I’ll be voting for her to win

She's got so many great looks.

It was a talent show , she has talent so what’s the problem

Brava bella simpatica e solare! Fantastica esibizione, mi hai emozionato. Diventerai una stella ❤

All a troll achieves is to encourage people who truly appreciate this ladies talents to make comments like this. THE WORLD LOVES YOU

It seems there are always those people who want to say the worst, to bring people down .People who deliberately want to find something negative. I prefer thinking the best of people and giving chances. I see nothing wrong in reaching out for an opportunity to reach a broader audience. This provided more people to hear her. Great job and so glad that we all have a chance to listen to her beautiful voice. She seems quite genuine. I hope she has a great career ahead of her❤😊🙏

If you couldn't tell this from the way she behaved on stage. She had obviously spent a lot of time there, and had experience doing shows.

If we can have contestants from all over the world....Japan...Korea...Canada........I am proud that she won one of our own......It should really only be BRITS entering....Hence the title....Britains got talent!! Well done girl....I new you would win....I jumped and yelled so loud when you did...my dogs thought something had happened to me....Lets Ave it!!!🌹🌹🌹

I think it's funny and Simon said it in his initial reaction, he said "it's really hard to get that initial break especially for something you really love" and even the name doesn't say "Regular Britain Got Talent" it says Britain Got Talent. For every noticed performer there are thousands performing on stages around the world that want to be noticed. You use whatever means you can to be noticed too. Susan Boyle performed in all kinds of places before BGT. Every so often there is 'nothing to everything' performer but these shows don't make promises either.

I have seen so many that have been on AGT and BGT and then go on American idol and The Voice , and then go bankrupt and never heard from again , So I don't blame any of them for talking every shot they can . It shows that making it big isn't as easy as so many believe ,

This young woman worked hard and unlike many 'artists', has a wonderful voice and presence. She went for her opportunity and was given one. ❤

The show is called Britains Got Talent not Britains got talented amateurs? How many viewers knew about her? I didn't. Not sure why she is being highlighted, the show has had top class Magicians that clearly should be in Vegas that don't practice their acts in the bedroom at home. Let's have it Sydnie. Leading lady in the West End I will definately buy tickets. ❤

Performing arts is not a guaranteed job, it's difficult, most people who criticise others like Sydnie are probably in a full time getting a salary sick pay, holiday pay, people in performing arts get none of that, they work damn hard, they have to everything to be noticed, to be seen, there are hundreds more like her and very few parts, they all deserve a chance,

She won.

Seriously if someone is that good, and Sydnie Christmas is really that good, do you think she would have no experience, that she has just been hiding away to be "discovered" by BGT. Its hard to make it professionally. She may have some early breaks and is now struggling to make it. It all depends on timing and opportunities. Good luck to her if she has this opportunity on BGT and gets to be seen by a larger audience. She absolutely deserves it.

They’re criticising her for working on a bloody cruise ship.. as a performer I couldn’t think of anything worse. I hope she wins a the lot and I hope she gets contracts for the West End. I think she will, they’d be crazy if they don’t.

Many professional performers have appeared on BGT. It’s not an amateur show, it’s a talent show. They could change the rules of entry if they wanted to. The vast majority of performers are not working full time in entertainment because they haven’t had a big break. Sydney has never headlined a West End or Broadway show and many talented people may appear in the Chorus and are never discovered and sink into obscurity. She is a brilliant performer and deserved to win.

Sydney is Amazing and very talented ! So what about her past, she wanted to get noticed more. Hey ! Remember Loren Allred ? She did a lot before her audition on BGT and she didn't win but now she's doing well. Sydney, you sing so beautifully and you have a fantastic sense of humor, people are going to love you like i do. Congratulations to you, you are going to amazing things. Please don't listen to the haters.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I say good luck to her . She deserves her break. Hope she wins ❤

Some people …. Honestly, just can’t wait to jump on the bandwagon … Goooo Sydney absolutely sensational 🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯👌👌👌 Whoop Whoop what a voice !! ❤

So what. She was great and deserving.❤

People just love to hate , good luck to you love and very well deserved ❤

She is awesome nothing can change my mind, go for it girl 😉

I didn't believe her when she said she hadn't sung the song for 24 years. I DON'T CARE. She is a talented young lady and deserves the spotlight. 💃🙏💜🤣

I just listened to her and her version is sooo way up there.

Can't wait to hear more

AGT has had several professional contestants also. Not all professionals are big time. I hope she either wins and becomes big-time or comes out with an album. If she has any recorded music, I haven’t been able to find it. Look forward to hearing more.

She's a fantastic singer and beautiful looking she also appears to be down to earth and I hope she's as lovely a person as she appears. If you are that person don't ever change because of fame or fortune God bless you and yours Xx

She’s fantastic

I don’t care. I am a huge Sydnie fan. She is incredible

Hate to tell you but many....MANY of the very best "first performances" on BGT have been professional singers and musicians. Including choirs, solo's, opera etc.; Loren Allred, The 100 voices choir (that has sung all over the planet), Luke Kennedy, Reigan Derry (from a girl band to solo on BGT), Kümmert, The 4th Power... the list is endless. You should be able to spot the professionals from the amateurs. Not hard to do. This is why I don't watch the shows only the highlights later on KZfaq lol.

Anyone who thinks that people who are already winners in other countries or outstanding in their stage performance previously are not a regular occurance on these shows are living under a rock. And, what's so bad about being intoduced to a wider audience? I'm glad for alln the talent these shows have brout to My attention! And having experience isn't a bad thing if you're going to be expected to perform repeatedly on the show and if winner, then under contract. There have been those that had amazing talent but sadly don't withstand the rigors of the job.
