With a voice that feels both timeless and electric, Sydnie Christmas continues to prove why she’s one of Britain’s brightest stars. The Britain’s Got Talent 2024 winner recently took to the stage in New York City, performing a breathtaking rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” and the internet can’t stop talking about it.
Throughout the performance, Christmas delivered her signature mix of powerhouse vocals and cinematic emotion, transforming the iconic standard into a heartfelt celebration of resilience and joy. As she moved across the stage with expressive gestures and unfiltered passion, the audience rose to their feet, captivated by her ability to make every lyric feel newly written.
The performance clip, which has since spread rapidly online, has been praised for its pure emotion and theatrical energy. Fans described it as “impossible to watch without tearing up,” with one viewer writing, “Sydnie doesn’t just sing — she makes you feel every word.”
The New York showcase marks yet another milestone for the 30-year-old musical theatre star, who’s had a whirlwind year since winning Britain’s Got Talent.
Following her victory with spellbinding covers of “My Way” and “Over the Rainbow,” Christmas has gone on to perform for King Charles at the Royal Variety Performance, release her debut album My Way, and share the stage in Los Angeles with Michael Bublé and Jennifer Hudson at a David Foster fundraiser.
But despite her growing fame, Christmas remains grounded and refreshingly candid with her fans. Recently, she addressed a wave of online concern after followers mistook her barefaced Instagram Story for a sign of illness. “Guys, I just haven’t got any makeup on. I’m fine — completely fine,” she laughed. “It’s so funny that in this day and age, the second you don’t have makeup on, people think you’re not well.”
Her natural charm and down-to-earth humor have made her one of the most beloved figures to emerge from the BGT stage in recent years. And with every performance, from London to New York, she continues to prove that her talent goes far beyond television.
As the final note of “New York, New York” rang through the venue, Christmas flashed her signature smile — one that radiates both gratitude and strength. In that moment, it was clear: Sydnie Christmas isn’t just singing Sinatra’s dream… she’s living her own.
