ONE of the finalists from Britain’s Got Talent broke down in tears on the tube, just hours before the live show.
Sydnie Christmas, 28, wowed the judges in the auditions when she sang a heartfelt edition of ‘Tomorrow’ from the musical Annie.
The artist received a golden buzzer from Amanda Holden, 53, as she was sent straight to the semi-finals.
She initially warmed the assembled crowd at the London Palladium when she joked her middle name was ‘Mary’.
In this week’s live shows, she once again impressed with her incredible vocals as she belted out Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’.
Now, the star has once again become emotional by another huge milestone in her journey.
Sydnie took to her Instagram story to reveal that one of her favourite artists has given her the ultimate endorsement, a follow.
US singer and songwriter Loren Allred has clearly been keeping up with her progress in the competition.
The Britain’s Got Talent star revealed that she was left sobbing by the social media move.
She took a screenshot of her notifications which shows that she now counts the singer amongst her 59,000 followers.
In big bold letters, she wrote: “My Idol. Life made.”
The finalist “No. No stop it!!! I’m crying on the tube. I love you Loren,” as she tagged the fellow BGT golden buzzer act.
In tonight’s live final, Sydnie will go up against fellow singers Innocent Masuku who sings opera, impressionist Mike Woodhams and the Northants Sings Out choir.
Magicians Trixy and Jack Rhodes, comedian Alex Mitchell and dance duo Abigail & Afronitaaa will compete for a space at the Royal Variety Performance.
Other Golden Buzzer acts include Acrobatic group Ssaulabi Performance Troupe and jump rope group Haribow.
They will all perform their acts in front of Amanda, Simon Cowell, Bruno Tonioli, and Alesha Dixon on the Ant and Dec fronted show.
BGT's Best Golden Buzzer Moments
BGT have handed out many Golden Buzzer's over the years, can you remember some of the most famous
- Loren Allred – Loren Allred, 32, from Brooklyn, New York jetted to London to audition after recording the vocals for The Greatest Showman. The stunning singer got a standing ovation and a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film. Loren came out on stage and revealed to the judges they would have heard her voice many times before that moment. “I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs,” she explained. Loren then revealed actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned by her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie. “So she lip-synced,” Loren said.
- Chicken Shed Theatre Company– Comprised of individuals aged between 5 and 37, the group was set up to welcome anyone irrespective of background to get up on stage and perform and fulfil their dream. Chicken Shed prides itself on accepting anyone and does not hold auditions to make the group a safe and inclusive space. The group wowed as they performed Wonder by Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sande. It meant that Alesha wasted no time as she decided to hit her golden buzzer for the young performers. She told them it was her “honour” to reward their inclusiveness with her golden buzzer.
- The Dancing Granny– Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn’t quite live up to expectations.
- Bars and Melody – They will forever be remembered for their anti-bullying song on the talent show. Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain’s Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I’ll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan – known as Melody – is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries – who is Bars – with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.
