She should have won America's Got Talent but at such a young age she could not have sustained her own Vegas show. Nonetheless this little girl is a true child prodigy and we will surely hear from her in the years to come
Little Jackie is really something. I even like her cover of McLachlan's Angel more than Katherine Jenkins' cover. I agree Steve, I think with here pipes she can choose whatever route she likes in the future, even popular music. Her version of Everytime smokes Spear's original. My wife is a big Jackie fan. I don't blame her one bit. I'm a convert as well.
Oh my word.......let me tell you guys a little story that happened tonight.
I'm sitting at the computer catching up on some things tonight and since I had just put my son down to sleep for the night, and the TV was awaiting my input to delete his program or not. Well, I never looked at the TV and the house was silent.....until......
The DVR kicked back to the PBS station that I was watching last night and I heard this wonderful voice from a lady singing, apparently backed up by an orchestra. The more I heard, the more I liked what I heard. Well, after about 5 or ten minutes? Curiosity got the best of me so I got up to see who was singing. I about broke my jaw when it hit the floor after looking at what looked like a ten year old up on stage in front of this orchestra. It was Jackie Evancho.
I had to stand there watching for a couple of minutes just so I could soak in that what I was watching was what I was actually hearing out of this young girl's lungs. Holy smokes! I'm almost still in disbelief. If you have PBS, do yourself a favor and tune into to it right now. It may be on in your area. I am just awestruck at how good this girl is. Holy smokes! The program is called "Jackie Evancho - Music of the Movies" on the show Great Performances. Steve, you were right.
I had not ever even heard of her, until I listened to her voice from around the corner tonight. This little girl is good. After this program is over, I'll have to look up some of the other things she has done.
Is it me or has she has lost everything that was magical about her in this latest performance on AGT this week:
Seems pretty shallow and lacking range and magnificent nuances she had when she was much younger. She is very graceful in person and pretty as she was but the vocal accomplishments have taken a big step backward.

Poor breath control. I'm betting it was just nerves. Happens to public speakers as well as singers. She hit the notes she just didn't have her diaphragm there to push 'em.
