Fans have followed Sydnie since her first BGT audition. One viewer said her talent is “off the charts” and her sweet personality deserves success. Another commenter wrote it is a “blessing” to find such quality voices through contests like BGT. Fans agreed that she did justice to the song.
Sydnie sang a beautiful cover of “My Way,” but the song has a long history. The story behind the music started in France before it came to America. It was not always a proud song about a man looking back at his life. This original version told a much different story of feeling sad and lonely.

The music for “My Way” first came from a 1967 French song called “Comme d’habitude.” The French lyrics spoke of a daily routine in a cold relationship. Paul Anka heard the tune and bought the rights to it. He rewrote the words into the famous English version for Frank Sinatra to record in 1968.
