Britain's Got Talent fans predict winner after incredible performance
What a start!
The 17th series of Britain's Got Talent landed on our screens over the weekend, with two bumper episodes which saw not one, not two, but THREE Golden Buzzers pressed by the judges and hosts Ant and Dec.
Whilst Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Ant and Dec used their Golden Buzzers, it was Amanda's choice which really left an impact on viewers at home, with singer Sydnie Christmas showing off her incredible vocals and personality.
Despite music mogul Simon Cowell not being overly impressed by her song choice of 'Tomorrow' from the Annie musical, Sydnie blew both the judges and the audience away with her performance, admitting it's her dream to perform in the West End.
Watch Syndie's amazing performance below:
After seeing her performance, Amanda said: "Sydnie I think for me, what struck me so much about you is how naturally funny, how brilliant, how warm your presence was the minute you walked on the stage.
"How you were entertaining everyone but then you brought us the most heartfelt, beautiful version of that song, and that was the best version I’ve heard in my life."
Alesha added: "You are full of character, personality, you’ve got it all going on. Say no more, girl! Smashed it, let’s have it!"
Viewers at home also took to social media to express their love for Syndie, with many predicting she will go all the way and win the 2024 series, as well as going on to have a very successful career.
One said: 'There's the winner', with another adding: 'She has to win!'
Another wrote: 'She's got me in floods of tears. I've never cried at a BGT act in a long long time. I thought she was going to be a comic when she came on, but caught me off guard. Well deserved, you girl, are going very VERY far'. (sic)
A fourth commented: 'I truly believe that her performance is one of the reasons why this type of show exists. Sometimes you never know what you are going to get and then it blows your mind and flows your heart with emotions'. (sic)
Another added: 'That’s her life changed forever', with another fan adding: 'OMG I got chills. What an incredible rendition of that song. I hope she goes all the way to win. Amazing! What an inspiration'. (sic)
