As the Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals are set to begin, Golden Buzzer star Sydnie Christmas has spoken of always being the bridesmaid, not the bride, ahead of her TV performance
Sydnie Christmas, the 28 year old singer from Kent, went straight through to the Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals after receiving a Golden Buzzer from Amanda Holden last month.
The singer and gym receptionist also addressed the criticism she has faced for having some stage experience before auditioning for BGT. After Amanda Holden pressed the Golden Buzzer on Saturday 20 April, following Sydnie’s powerful rendition of Tomorrow from the classic musical Annie, ITV viewers took to social media to complain about what they thought was her successful career on stage.
“Sydnie Christmas is a professional singer/actress already working in the West End. Thought #bgt was for amateurs not professional. She's taken golden buzzer off someone more deserving," wrote another. However, Sydnie explained to TV Times that she hasn’t quite had the breaks that TV audiences may have thought she had. “I’ve been doing theatre shows abroad for a long time, including Starlight Express in Bochum, Germany, but I’ve always been in the background, never a leading lady,” she explained.
