Imagine finding a talent so immense that you have to ask them to be on your album. This is what happened when Ben Forster, a famous Phantom of the Opera star, wanted Sydnie Christmas for a duet.
He had never even met her. They only followed each other on social media. But Forster, a true “musical geek,” knew he needed her voice for his Musicals Greatest Hits album.
He called her voice “once in a generation,” like mixing Shirley Bassey with Adele. This high praise was well deserved. Sydnie Christmas is quickly becoming a massive star. Her immediate agreement to sing the song “Tell Me It’s Not True” showed everyone the great respect between these two top West End singers.

The song they picked, “Tell Me It’s Not True,” is a sad, big moment from the musical Blood Brothers. The duet is a new way to hear this song. People who listened to the finished duet loved it. One viewer said their “ears are in love,” and many others said Sydnie and Ben’s voices blend “beautifully” and “very well.”
The way Sydnie sings makes you understand why Forster gave her such high praise. To see what he meant, we can look at her older performance of the James Bond song, “Skyfall.”

The song “Skyfall” is by Adele and was featured in the James Bond movie. Christmas sang this at a big show on a cruise ship back in 2015. She then proved she could handle the song’s huge, cinematic sound. It had the classic drama of Bassey and the feeling and tone of Adele, just as Forster described her voice.
Sydnie Christmas has a voice built for the biggest stages and the biggest feelings. To see more of her special voice and the fantastic work she does, follow Sydnie Christmas on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
