With a voice that stunned Britain and a heart that won over millions, Britain’s Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas has officially made her mark on American television. The 29-year-old powerhouse vocalist recently delivered a thunderous live performance of Frank Sinatra’s classic “My Way” on Good Day New York, leaving the host visibly wiping away tears as the final note rang out.
Christmas’ U.S. TV debut was more than just a performance — it was a statement. Known for her unforgettable audition of “Tomorrow” from Annie that catapulted her to victory in 2024, the singer once again showcased her unique ability to pour raw emotion into a timeless standard. From the first delicate verse to the soaring, defiant finale, she owned every moment of “My Way,” making it not just a song, but her anthem.
The audience in the studio and fans watching online were quick to react. One commenter described her talent as “off the charts,” while another noted, “Well done Sydnie, to break into America so soon. Everyone knows it’s so hard to make it there, but if anyone can do it, it’s Sydnie.” Others praised her humility and charm, qualities that have endeared her to fans on both sides of the Atlantic.
Christmas’ rapid rise across the pond is all the more impressive considering that just last year she released her debut covers album, My Way. Now, she is stepping into an entirely new chapter: original music.
A New Era: Sydnie Christmas in the Studio
In a recent interview, Christmas revealed she is currently recording her first-ever album of original songs. “I never thought I’d have an album of original songs,” she shared. “I’ve been writing since I was young, and I never thought I’d see the light of day. Now, as an adult, I’m getting the opportunity to write and work out my style.”
Far from being confined to the world of musical theatre, Christmas is eager to prove her versatility, describing her new material as deeply personal and inspired by her own adventures and experiences. She even admitted she plans to share early demos with BGT judge Amanda Holden for advice, adding: “All it takes is for me to message her and she replies. I’d never ask her to plug my music, but I’d love her opinion.”
What’s Next for Sydnie
“I’ll be introducing some new songs people haven’t heard,” she explained. “I try to be clever when I pick what songs I want to do. If I want to be in a certain musical, I’ll include a medley from that show — maybe a casting director will see me and think I’m right for the part.”
For a performer who describes herself as a tomboy in jeans and trainers, Christmas embraces the transformation of stepping on stage in glitter and sequins. “On stage, I love to step into this glamorous version of myself. I love the sparkle and that energy,” she laughed.
From her emotional U.S. debut to her ambitious plans for original music and a headline West End show, Sydnie Christmas is proving that her journey is just beginning. With each performance, she continues to remind audiences that she didn’t just win Britain’s Got Talent — she’s here to stay.
