“She Used to Be Mine” is more than just a song; it is the heart of the musical Waitress. It is a song about feeling lost and remembering the person you wanted to be. This is a story Sydnie Christmas knows well from her own life before Britain’s Got Talent. Her performance at Sony Hall felt like she was telling her own secrets.
Sydnie has a huge, booming voice that can fill any room. But when she sings this, it is not just loud. It is full of quiet moments and deep feelings. You can hear the years of working on cruise ships, dreaming of a bigger stage. She sounds both incredibly strong and a little bit broken, all at the same time.

People watching felt it right in their chest. One person said it was like she was not even performing, just sharing her diary. Another viewer wrote that she was born to play the lead role of Jenna in Waitress. It is clear that she does not just sing the notes; she understands the story deeply.
Sydnie’s performance truly makes the song her own, fitting her journey perfectly. To understand why her version hits so hard, it helps to go back to the beginning. We need to listen to the person who wrote those words, Sara Bareilles. Her original version is the map that shows where the feelings started.
She Used To Be Mine
Sara Bareilles wrote the song for her musical. When she sings it, it feels like a quiet confession. It is less of a big stage number and more like a private thought. The music builds slowly, filled with doubt and a little hope. It is the sound of someone trying to find themselves again, piece by piece.
Sydnie Christmas has a special gift. She takes big, emotional songs and makes them feel like they belong to her. Her journey is all about fighting for a dream, which is why this song fits her so well. It makes you wonder when we will see her on a Broadway or West End stage.
