My purpose in following the data of views and likes is to compare it to other “good performances”. There is something very different about a performance from an unknown artist that results in following the artist as they navigate their newly found “fame”.

There are only a few “talent show” performances that I have followed this closely

1. Bianca Ryan from 2006/2007 - she was incredible but too young —. I remember Pierce Morgan reminding her that she was only 11 years old and that if she kept singing like “that” she would lose her voice

2. Going back a few years to Carrie Underwoods talent show audition and performances—. Well you know how that turned out for her.

3. Darcy Lynn the ventriloquist now turning solo artist seems to be a challenge for her - keeping an eye on how she navigates her career.

—- now steps in Sydnie Christmas who came on the stage with her quirky humor genuinely enjoying the moment and delivering a cover of “Tomorrow” that made many of us who have grown to “hate” that song when used in talent shows because it is so often performed just like the original which to be honest makes you remember the original artist and we tend to quickly forget the name and face of the one who just performed it - solidifying our “hate” for the song because the end result of most performances is that the artist covering it was unknown when they stepped on the stage and unknown when they walked off.

So what is so different about THIS performance by Sydnie Christmas? Why will many of us who did know her name before watching this performance- will now be following her career path?

When I posted this I expected to see a few hundred more views - I suspect many of the views are from viewers who have watched it more than once.

Again, hoping to see her do some classic gospel music she has both the personality stage presence and voice to do a full praise and worship session !

Having spent some time trying to figure out why Sydnie Christmas is working at a gym instead of touring with Carrie Underwood?

I am interested in hearing more about her personal story. I believe she had a gift from God and if she uses her gift to praise Him she can impact the world.

My 2cents worth. What say you?
