Some performances make you clap, and then some moments make you forget time. Sydnie Christmas has a voice built for those moments. At The Lowry in Manchester, she stepped up to Whitney Houston’s legendary “I Have Nothing,” a song that has broken many voices before. But instead of being crushed by its weight, Sydnie lifted it, turning the stage into a place of fire, tears and awe.
Sydnie’s performance was more than just notes and lyrics; it was storytelling in its rawest form as she took Whitney’s classic ballad and poured her own emotions into every line making the crowd feel like the words were written for that night alone. Her voice moved between gentle whispers and powerful waves while pulling hearts along with her. It was not just a cover but was Sydnie’s truth, delivered through every breath and every pause.

Her performance there carried the same intensity, yet in a different way. While “I Have Nothing” showed her control and range, her next song revealed her ability to bend history itself into her voice.
