“The lyrics inspired me,” Sydnie said, reflecting on her BGT journey. “It was so fitting to my own path, and I put so much work into making it my own. The reaction I got was the biggest validation I could have received.”
Fans have flooded social media with praise for Sydnie’s performances. Many compare her to iconic singers like Barbra Streisand, while others celebrate her ability to bring emotion and storytelling to every note. Comments range from “fantastic” and “absolutely beautiful” to reflections on how her voice resonates with listeners, often leaving them in awe.
Sydnie’s talents extend beyond live shows. Her debut album, My Way, captures the heart of musical theatre classics through her powerful, emotive voice.
From epic renditions of beloved stage songs to fresh interpretations of iconic productions, the album demonstrates her remarkable range and artistry.
