Imagine standing in a room with a massive wrecking ball swinging toward you. That is exactly how it feels when Sydnie Christmas opens her mouth to sing. She is not just a girl from a reality show anymore. On a giant stage during a special West End event, she stepped into the shoes of a famous Disney villain. This career-defining moment happened during her performance of the song “Animal Lover.”
Sydnie plays the role of Cruella de Vil, and she is truly terrifying. Most people know her as a sweet person from Britain’s Got Talent, but she flips the script here. She uses her whole body and sharp eyes to show the madness of the character. There are no pre-recorded tracks or safety nets to help her. It is just one woman, a microphone, and a live voice that is perfectly controlled.
