With a growing catalogue of show‑stopping moments to her name, Britain’s Got Talent champion Sydnie Christmas never misses a chance to amaze. And her recent appearance on ITV’s Loose Women was yet another masterclass in vocal power and heart.
During the live broadcast, Christmas delivered a stirring rendition of the wartime classic “We’ll Meet Again.” From the first note, the 29‑year‑old singer filled the studio with a voice so clear and commanding that viewers swore they couldn’t tell it apart from her polished studio recording.
By the final chorus, the Loose Women panel—and social media—were buzzing about how she had made an 85‑year‑old anthem feel brand‑new.
A song with deep personal roots
Christmas’s choice of song was no accident. Released today to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, her new recording of “We’ll Meet Again” pays tribute not just to Dame Vera Lynn’s original 1939 hit but also to Sydnie’s own family history.
Both of her great‑grandfathers served in World War II, and one met his daughter for the first time when she was five because of his wartime posting. Several great‑uncles never returned home, underscoring why this anthem of hope and reunion resonates so deeply for the singer.
The Loose Women showcase comes on the heels of two sold‑out debut shows in New York City, a coveted slot at the Hollywood Bowl, and a No. 1 spot on both the US and UK iTunes charts with her debut album My Way. Notably, Andrew Lloyd Webber personally encouraged her to release her own version of “Starlight Express,” adding another highlight to a whirlwind year that has included performing for King Charles III at the 2024 Royal Variety Performance.
