Agreed
2 weeks later views of this performance as well as dozens of “reaction videos” from every generation of music critic—. Not a single person saying they don’t like the performance—. The only thing left to criticize her with is calling her a “known professional artist stealing a victory in a talent show” —. Seriously ?
To the critics I say this. — not a single person I know had ever heard of her and every video out there of her performances had very few views and quite frankly I would rate as fair to good at best. But this performance of Tomorrow hit every entertainment value point and catapulted Sydnie Christmas from Unknown to WoW !
I expect to be posting more about where her career goes from here. I suspect she had retired from her job at the gym already.
4,629,946 and counting —. Just noting the views of the official BGT video —. Keep in mind many popular YouTubers who do “reaction videos” would add many more thousands of views if their audience never navigate to the original video
4,725,728 and counting —. Just noting the views of the official BGT video —. Keep in mind many popular YouTubers who do “reaction videos” would add many more thousands of views if their audience never navigate to the original video

Original version performed by Sydnie Christmas - I like Sydnie’s interpretation better - but wanted to make sure this artist gets the appropriate credit.
Interesting how critics are trying to get out in front of this story claiming that she “cheated” by her appearance on BGT because she is supposedly a “well known established professional artist, singer song-writer actress etc.
The problem is every “reaction” video I have seen not a single one knew who she was prior to this.
In fact I wish I knew how many “followers” she had on Spotify prior to her BGT performance \\ I suspect very few especially since she only has 2 tracks on Spotify from 2020

16.7k followers as of today —. However- how many did she have prior to her BGT performance cover of “Tomorrow. “.
4,902,481 and counting —. Just noting the views of the official BGT video —. Keep in mind many popular YouTubers who do “reaction videos” would add many more thousands of views if their audience never navigate to the original video.
Very likely to cross the 5 million views before midnight tonight. Again these are just the views from the BGT YouTube —- so many more thousands of views from popular YouTubers who do live reactions and critical analysis of performances that are popular.
4,925,032 and counting —. Just noting the views of the official BGT video —. Keep in mind many popular YouTubers who do “reaction videos” would add many more thousands of views if their audience never navigate to the original video.
So my prediction of 5 million views before midnight tonight will fall short by about 50,000 views at least here on the east coast that is.
Noted: . Again these are just the views from the BGT YouTube —- so many more thousands of views from popular YouTubers who do live reactions and critical analysis of performances that are popular.
Another very interesting data point here is that scrolling through the most popular by number of views Sydnie is up there with performances that have received 5 million-ish views over the past year or 2. Only this performance just came out 4 weeks ago !
So while the rarer of increased views has slowed down it is safe to predict that the number will continue to rise as the performance gets reviewed by critics of all ages and genres her voice is unique enough to please all ages and she can sings to a group of kids just as easily as teens and even parents and grandparents!
No doubt she will not be working at reception desk of the gym much longer and she will need to hire a management firm just to sort through the influx of invitations she is probably already getting.
It will be interesting to see who she signs with and why.
Also I want to repeat my call for her to cover some of the most famous Gospel Hymns like How Great Thou Art! No doubt she can produce a single that can be up there with Carrie Underwood —. In fact I think Carrie should be her coach and mentor and help her avoid the pitfalls that the industry can have.
4,941,748 -
Average increase in views is 500 per hour. - interesting to see if this pace continue today
From 6am to 6pm (12 hrs) average approximately 3500 views per hour - on the BGT YouTube official video alone - again not counting all the clips and reviews etc. - if this rate continues at this pace should be cross the 5 million threshold —. Very interesting data to follow. How will she handle this ?

Let’s see what the increase is tonight at approximately 6pm - it will be very interesting to see if the rate of increase is rising 3 weeks after the initial release —. Again noting that this is just the views from the official BGT YouTube video. So many thousands of views from other sites that have recorded live reactions from singing coaches and critics of all types from young to old.
What is so unique about ALL the critics can complain about is that she is being accused of cheating because she is a “well known professional artist?” Not a single person being critical has claimed to have known of her BEFORE this performance.
Approximately 3,400 views per HOUR over the past 24 hours.
It will be interesting to analyze other performance videos that have gone “viral” were they getting 3400 views per hour 3 weeks after the event?
Let’s HAVE IT !
