Imagine having a favorite song you always dream of singing, especially those huge, amazing songs that only the most prominent stars can handle. For a young singer named Sydnie Christmas, that song was “I Have Nothing,” the famous Whitney Houston hit.
Back in 2014, Sydnie was starting her career. After graduating from her performing arts school, she sang “I Have Nothing” at her house. This simple, early performance was captured on video and shared online, showing everyone that Sydnie had a super strong, powerful voice even before she was famous.

Fast-forward about 11 years later. Sydnie Christmas became a household name after winning the massive TV show Britain’s Got Talent in 2024. This success led to a significant new opportunity: her very first headlining show in America, at the famous Sony Hall in New York City.
For this big night, she chose to sing her favorite song again: “I Have Nothing.” This time, however, she was joined on stage by a true music legend: the producer David Foster.
