Standing under a spotlight with smoke swirling at her feet, Sydnie Christmas made an epic return to Britain’s Got Talent when she made an appearance at the 2025 Semi-Finals. The audience cheered as she began to sing the song that won her the competition in 2024 – ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow.’ Music Man fans will be delighted to find out that Sydnie’s return was not the only surprise in store for fans, as fellow BGT alumna Loren Allred then walked out to join her on stage.
Not only had Loren appeared on BGT in 2022, but also on America’s Got Talent in 2024, where she performed her own showstopping rendition of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow.’ Together, the singers turned their versions of the song into a magnificent duet that had fans awestruck by their combined talent. The online video of their performance received over 498k views in only a month, with one viewer commenting, “I think it is a dream team pairing these two incredible women up to perform together!”
I was blown away when I first heard their duet. Not only are these two stunning singers in their own right, but when their voices come together, it creates magic that can’t be denied. I was also especially charmed by the undeniable fondness between the two onstage. As they turned to sing to each other towards the end of the song, it is clear these artists have connected over their similar journeys, and it’s a joy to see them join forces doing what brought them together in the first place.
After their performance, Syndie shared that, in the year since her BGT win, she has played the Hollywood Bowl, performed sold-out shows in New York, and been on tour. While Syndie shared this with a hint of disbelief in her voice, for any Music Man fans that saw her performance of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ at the 2024 BGT final, her success will come as no surprise at all. From this spectacular performance alone, it was clear to viewers that Syndie had a very bright future in store.
