I heard a joke yesterday. What's the difference between Jackie Evancho and a UFO sighting? The answer is simple. UFO's are seen all the time, But Jackie? NEVER
The only thing wrong with this video is that clown who wouldn't let her respond to questions. Sometimes announcers don't know when to SHUT UP. As usual, Jackie was beyond belief.
At the time she sang this she was a fifth grader setting in a desk making fun with her friends at boys, I am sure. A very short time later she is on stage in England having the Brits coming up from their sets going crazy. All because she went to a movie, came home and tried to be like the star. At her age if my mom had taken me to a movie like that, I would have never forgiven her.
Why don't just wait 5 years and see. Jackie is going to stop singing no matter what we both say. If her voice does go. she can always run for President and win by a landslide.
OMG, what is she doing singing Nessum Dorma?!?!?!?!?! Beautiful voice indeed, but that is for someone who is at least 30 years old. Even if sung in classical crossover style, the power of the song and how it is written is very harmful for the voice for someone so young with such baby vocal folds. She is going to lose her voice in 5 years, maybe sooner by the way her schedule is. An hour of her singing these songs for each concert? Disagree with me now, but remember what I said. It will happen.
@spunkiesag12 So we have been told. It's been getting to be old hat. The same as the experts said about the greenhouse effect. ten years ago it was said we only had ten before the sea takes over all the beaches so I worred about that for ten years.I went last summer to my friend's beach house, I just couldn't believe it was still there.
@spunkiesag12 Charlotte Church at age 26, is worth 20 million dollars, is married (happily by all accounts) and thinks that nothing could come close to her two kids in terms of happiness and contentment. She doesn't like to sing classical which is why she stopped singing it. She is by no means, the failure that critics claim her to be and is far from being in the poor house. She still has a great voice, maybe not for classical but certainly for pop.
@tube7562 Honestly, good for Charlotte Church that she is worth millions, (I hope the same to Jackie for college) but she cannot sing classical music well again because the way she abused her voice, which is my point. If I can't sing classical music anymore, I wouldn't want to sing it either. I wish Jackie would not sing these songs that are not for her age because she has potential to be the next female Pavarotti with a long lasting career instead of a short one which she is doomed to have.
@spunkiesag12 The key word here is "abused". Charlotte Church smoked and drank and those more than singing classical music, is what caused damage to her voice. Jackie seems to be pretty well taken care of and has the advice of doctors and voice coaches. Anything can happen in the future but for now Jackie seems to be destined for greatness singing what she sings...otherwise nobody would be talking about her.
@tube7562 yes but she lost her voice before she started to drink and smoke. No, Jackie is not taking care of her voice at all by singing arias that are meant for older singers. Just because she could sing the notes, does not mean that she should sing the arias. If she stop singing the arias, yes she has potential to be great like Danielle de Niese. She was a child prodigy herself but she took good care of her voice and knew what she couldn't sing. Look at her now, she has a great career still
@spunkiesag12 Trust me, you're beating a dead horse. This issue has been exhaustively discussed here and at other forums. Everyone, including the dead in their graves, understand the risks involved. Nothing new ! Jackie's parents are well aware of the pros and cons and only they and the doctors that examine her periodically, can assess what needs to be done. In the meantime all the second guessing isn't gong to change anything. Best to enjoy what she sings, be it for the short or long haul.
@tube7562 look, I was only voicing my opinion and defending it. I highly doubt she has doctors involve in this if she is singing arias like nessum dorma. Nothing makes me more upset than watching young singers singing rep that will later be the reason why their voice has lost its vibrancy. Slow and stead always win the race.
Nothing wrong in voicing your opinions. No need to defend it though - we're not fighting a war :). No fan wants Jackie to lose her voice. It would be tragic for us fans.
By the way she does have periodic checks from good doctors. One of the doctors actually is a celebrity himself since he caters to famous singers. He is well known among the elite. This was widely reported on the internet. In January 2012 the doctor examined her and told her her vocal chords were "Pristine".
@tube7562 its all good. I hope for the best for Jackie, but I can't help but be a little worried for her. I've heard prodigy singers who not take care of their voices and ones who do take care of their voices. I've heard singers who do not take care of their voices because of singing heavy stuff. I hope that doctor is any good no matter how famous he is. I also hope that the little girl still has somewhat a childhood despite of her crazy schedule.
@spunkiesag12 The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, please take good care of yourself so that in your golden years you will still be listening to this most amazing gift called Jackie. You need not fret for her for the Angels themselves are her guardians, and her family is most remarkable.
I understand that Nessun Dorma was ORGINALLY written to be sung by male tenors. Not any more - those days are over! Jackie has ownership of this beautiful song now and future references to it will now be described as a song to be sung by 11 year old soprano girls. :-)
@61hookemhorns I agree you with you completely, why does this have to be sung by a man? Jackie, can hit all the notes, and does it beautifully. This music was meant for her and she meant to sing it.
She is just amazing both as a singer and even perhaps more as a smart, intelligent and a humble child. In that regard, she is way more mature than lot of the grown ups. She has a knack for always saying the right things.
A classic example of US and UK ignorance, tastelessness, and stupidity. This is a famous TENOR aria and must be sung by an adult male operatic voice. Poor little girl, she is trying to cope with her pretty, tiny chirping, nonexistent breath control, and phonetic Italian. All these showbiz bozo apes think they are promoting talent, but this is fake, embarrassing elevator Muzak. Her shelf life is very short. I hope her greedy parents cash in before she gets too old and the voice disintegrates.
@smithmark2233 And you're right... Jackie's journey has been epic in proportion and might I add, meteoric! Her 1st CD "Prelude to a Dream", 2nd "Dream with Me" and I reckon the next should be "A Dream come True".
This Performance Will Go Down in the Annals of History as One of if not the Best Live Performance Ever Done. It's one thing to know before hand that there is no margin for error but to DO IT and Execute this song Without Mistakes LIVE is Another thing Entirely.
I've never seen a more magnificent combination of beauty, innocence, and talent in one package. Her voice is pure liquid "sound", a warmly emotional waterfall cleansing and taming everything it falls upon. Wow, just wow.
@Geotubest God Your post is Awesome. It brought tears to my eyes. "a warmly emotional waterfall cleansing and taming everything it falls upon" You said it all. My eyes cant stop leaking.
People say that music can change the heart beat of man. Just think if the 11 year old can sing this great, and we all could enjoy this type of music, how great this world would be. Keep up the great that you doing, never mind the negativity, when something good comes out there will be always be someone or something make you start to doubt. You are special Jackie, keep up the great work you are doing.
Oh my goodness. I am blown away by her talent. Her voice touches my soul in a way that it brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear her. Music truly is a universal language.
I have to comment again on how she dresses. Always classy. Always elegant.
You know what pisses me off the most is posts that are flagged as spam THAT AREN'T SPAM. If You dislike it no problem there's a dislike button you can click. But don't click that it's spam just because you don't like the message. We're better than censorship I thought.
It's not like she doesn't make mistakes, she does. But what she is doing is so unheard of it would be like criticizing a Unicorn for having too sharp a Horn
We are watching something incredibly extraordinary here. The fact that she is beautiful, the sweetness, this time, her age, her stage presence, her incredible, incredible talent.
We will never see these moments again in our lifetimes.
I am just now beginning to understand the PRIVILEGE of living long enough to witness this phenomenon.
Once in every 300 years or so humanity is treated to something so special it completely changes the landscape of music. In my most humble opinion Jackie Evancho is one of these. Like Mozart, before her Jackie is the dawn of a new pinnacle.
@Queegzzz I love people who love Jackie. And I think she's great. But I hope you haven't denied yourself the equally enthralling experience of listening to Deanna Durbin, Anna Netrebko, Maria Callas, or Sissel on YouTube, who can also be described as one in a billion in their own way.
@PatrioticGlory There are lots of beautiful thoroughbred horses in the world as well, Jackie who hasn't reached puberty yet is a unicorn amongst all those thoroughbreds. We forget she's only 11. And it's easy to forget because her voice is so mature. That's why she can't be compared to other singers. If you want to have a fair comparison then compare Jackie to Connie Talbot,
@Queegzzz Jackie's certainly special. She's the best for purity of tone. And I assume that even though Deanna Durbin is alive, though at 90 years of age and 60 years in retirement, I have to assume Jackie has overtaken her.
@Queegzzz I love how we project our ideals on others. As she's revealed in her interviews, she knows exactly what the fuss is about and it's why she works so hard. As hard as, as she says, "Lady Gaga.".
@PatrioticGlory She also reveals in her interviews that when she hears herself sing all she hears is an 11 year old girl. I don't think she fully understands how good she is. Like one host said after she sang for her it was like she made a cupcake. Jackie is more impressed with the pancakes she makes for her family than she is with her own singing.
@PatrioticGlory Who is projecting ideals? Have you heard her describe what she likes about her own voice? Jackie Evancho was quoted as saying "It's nice that it's not so little" does that sound like someone who Fully understands how good her voice is? She is only 11. How much did you fully understand at that age? My comments reflect her interviews not from any projection from my part.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@UTOG010 and what the hell is wrong with you??? is it something that could hurt your feeling if i say so?? i'm just saying that i like her!! Was that sounded too offensive for you??? it's so poor for Jackie for having this kind of fan.. really!
I wish the judges of BGT had talk to Jackie to hear what they would say about Jackie's voice. The world wants Jackie I bet even Russia would love to have her sing in their country. She has the world at her feet. It's my wish, she could make a turning point in bring countries togeather. I know most all love Jackie now, how could they not?
This is probably my favorite clip and I watch it all of the time. It is like a stress balm and helps sooth an 18 hour work day. I am singularly impressed with the British and BGT. They knew they had something spectacular here and they took full advantage of it with this magnificent production. AGT copycatted the number, but it just wasn't the same - although Jackie nailed the song as well.
She's so cute you just want to take her home. omg. And her voice is so soft and tender. If i wanted to listen to big powerful opera singers I would, but they can't deliver this song with a delicate touch like Jackie.
This voice traveled through time and heaven which further transformed it into a bright angelic presence. Its not meant to be tampered with,only enhanced and mellowed by maturity. Talent like this is so rare and precious-mindful of Deanna Durbin
@ken38urb How come after so many public performances I still find her so perfect. Not even one flaw. I hope that unlike Deanna Durbin, Jackie will never retire from singing.
Je rigole tout en étant désolé de lire des commentaires tout à fait déplacés. Son style n'est pas à comparer et chacun a le droit d'aimer ce que fait cette jeune-fille. Peu de gens serait capable de se présenter devant un public aussi nombreux. De plus, je suis persuadé que Jackie Evancho va faire aimer un certain opéra. Mille bravos.
@RobertJBF My French is horriblel, however, it appears that you chuckled (?) at how moved some posters were? Also, you think Jackie will do great in opera?
You signed off with a thousand bravos.
Maybe, someone else can translate French to English better than me? :-)
TO JACKIE'S FAN'S! Myself. I only wish I could say the beautiful thing about Jackie," AS most of you do! with Your words, All of your words along with Jackie singing!..excites me that much more!!! .. I love it when she is ask her a question! she starts off with "uum" We are so lucky to have her!!!
People talk of Jackie's operatic voice, but I think they are wrong. It's true she sings some opera songs but they are "crossover" classic style and not true opera. Are there better opera singers? Of course there are, but Jackie falls into a very narrow category of talent - a category occupied by singers like Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland.
The trained AND talented sopranos of opera will never see the day they can compete with Jackie for popularity and audience love.
@61hookemhorns.. WHO CARES!!!!!... the reward is in, listening to her singing, all we want to know is how did you like !!! Please just enjoy, we do not need what Jackie NEED'S she already got it!!!!! Listen to the applauds of the audience.....doesn't that say something!.... please no expert advice she can handle it on her own , plus her teacher's
will help her when she needs it! I think I should of had read this comment of yours first, you just degrade your self, sorry that how I feel
Wrong!!! The kid is 11 years old. Keep that in mind. She is being coached correctly and they are not going to blow out her voice before she reaches full maturity. I can only imagine how she will sound when she is 18. If you saw America's got talent final she completely outperformed and intimated Sara Brightman. She is in a league of her own.
@61hookemhorns To your point, I would also add that none can compete with her for the vocal beauty, tone and bell like quality of her voice....
Some day, there will be someone else who will equal or exceed Jackie's talent....I don't expect to see that in my lifetime even though I have quite a bit of life left over. It took 180 years for nature to find Jackie (since Jenny Lind). May take even longer next time around.
I was talking to a patient's mother (I am a Pedi doc)) and she said the networks made a mistake. She is a local network exec and said that BGT and AGT should have understood what they had and tailored their programs around Jackie more. When something special happens, and her solos were incredibly special, it is up to the producers to capitalize on it. To their credit, they came back with her on later shows.I don't think everyone realizes what we have observed - awesome doesn't do her credit!
I understand that the Japanese nation has fallen totally in love with Jackie - big surprise! :-)
I know all of us cannot get enough of this little sweetheart and have gone through a lot of U-Tubes clips of her, but find the David Foster clip (Hitman Returns). This is the clip where Jackie sings Pie Jesu to a sold out crowd in Vegas. Watch about halfway through the clip where a woman in the audience weeps and sobs over her singing - and a woman after she finishes, as well. :-).
I will agree that Deanna at age 26 was still ahead of Jackie in ability, but that gap shrinks by the hour. I hope Jackie will one day sing as well as Deanna, but I now suspect she will be even better.
@RoboSlater@RoboSlater Deanna was about 26 years of age in 1947. Jackie at 10/11 has the most beautiful tone I have ever heard. I think more beautiful than Eve Cassidy and Eva was known for her quality tone. Historians have compared Jackie to Jenny Lind. Now that's impressive. Jenny was born in 1820 and no recording exist, but only written testimonies. Jenny turned pro at 10 and was known for her beautiful rich tone.
For comparison, you might check out Deanna Durbin's far superior version from her 1947 film, "His Sister's Butler". That it's been 64 years for a soprano to approach it is testament to Jackie's rendition, whose singing I adore. watch?v=inV3RlOTOXM
@RoboSlater I listened to Deanna Durbin and she has a magnificant voice. It is full and practiced. However, Jackies tonal quality, even at 11, is unique and better sounding to me. But that is to be expected. It's impossible for a mere mortal to compete against an Angel! :-)
@61hookemhorns Give back to Ceasar what is Cesar’s and to God what is God’s. Deanna Durbin was divine beyond any comprehension 60 years ago (no YT, no AGT, no Internet, no Simon Cowell, no nothing, just Hollywood and black-and-white). I wonder how would Deanna do at AGT audition at her 10. Nobody will ever know. Jacke is super-divine in her special, modern, down-to-earth, cute, prodigy, American way. Good for her. We love her more each day..
@hermitcrabbot Now, that is really, really funny! I'm sorry it sat here unnoticed for so long. I would never try to compete with someone that much better than me. I hope the later contestants faired well, but what a hole to put them in. I've followed her for about a year and a half, and I'm still more impressed with her than anyone else I've heard, and that's many decades.
@miiitymous Good thing for Paul that Jackie wasn't the guest star and he had to sing the same song right after her, he may have been hooked off the stage. lol Just kidding as I have never heard him sing I can't say anything bad about him. He must have been very good to have won BGT. I will check him out.
I love you Jackie.....So MUCHH!!!! Please tell her that (Jackie's mom)...she can get ahold of me and we can be friends :) I am 13 years old, and in 7th grade. I live in Duluth, Minnesota.
This is to the person who said Jackie has a stiff jaw and bad posture! What do you expect an 11 yr old girl to do! sing with her mouth shut while standing on one foot! Jackie's facial expressions and jaw movement expresses her emotions to the lyrics of the song and her unique stance and body movement is absolutely beautiful. That's what makes her Jackie.
@jebreel20111 Your comment concerns me. Many here are ardent Jackie fans & supporters, & support her by going to concerts, buying her CDs, products,supporting her on her official sites. Though she's brought joy to millions, I doubt many would say she's the most important thing in their lives. JE's not allowed to read YT comments about her vids, & few on her own FB page. Support her by joining her official FB page. Perhaps time for some introspection about what's important to you besides Jackie.
All of us understand the emotional impact Jackie can have on us - your response is clearly your appreciation of this sweetheart and you are simply articulating, as best you can, how deeply she has touched you. We understand fully.
@61hookemhorns You are a very caring and compassionate person, your kindnest to jebreel20111 has made me so pleased knowing that you took the time to be so kind to another Thank You
Thank you for the kind words. My favorite two songs on her CD are Nessun Dorma and The Lords Prayer. I have listened to them easily a hundred times each. I have asked my wife to play Jackie's "The Lords Prayer" at my funeral. What better way to leave this world than having an angel sing for you?
When I read comments where they say "jackie is the next whoever" They've got it completely backwards, those whoevers can only wish they could be the next Jackie Evancho!
@biviro47 Right on with that! Jackie is often compared to CC, Sarah B, et al., but Jackie is unique. And no one will be the "next Jackie" either, although many will try, and are trying. Jackie's set the bar extremely high, not only for aspiring singers, but also for established artists.
@Wolflady13 She's beyond Charlotte Church. or any other singer because she not only sings beautifully....but she brings you in communion with your very soul...and God Almighty. Who else does this?
Can your 11 year old stand in front of thousands, sing 9 SOLO songs - from memory - with perfect pitch and range - in a foreign language - with the power & timbre of a grown, professional and perform perfectly with a raging cold?
For that matter, how many ADULTS could do this?
She just did this in Vegas and she had women AND men weeping in the audience.
About 10 days ago I clicked on O Holy Night by 9 year old Jackie. I clicked on her other videos and was brought to tears many times over the next several hours. I bought her "Dream With Me" CD a couple days later and listen to it on my way to work and on my way home. I even drive slower to be able to spend more time listening to her. She has swept me off my feet. She is all I listen to, is beyond my vocabulary and I hope to see her live this spring.
If you buy her first CD and listen to "O Holy Night", you will simply be blown away! She sang this in David Fosters vocal booth and got it right after 3 takes. As opposed to a live performance, you have the opportunity to hear the clarity of her 11 year old voice - If you can keep from being on the verge of weeping, you are a better man than me.
@61hookemhorns I guess I am getting too old - I said "O Holy Night" when I meant "The Lords Prayer".
We have all heard this sung by other artists, but if this child's rendition doesn't put a lump in your throat, then I don't know what to tell you. Listen as you hear her hold the perfect notes with passion and emotion.
@kathleenirish I can't imagine getting the new millennium off to a better start. Now let's keep her safe. Next chance in 1000 years (provided we are still here).
This beautiful little girl humbles us and touches us so much that, even though we've never met her, we fall as much in love with her as if she was one of our own.
@61hookemhorns I thank you!.., We all thank you!, this is one of the most beautiful comments I've read so far about Jackie!!! And the most closes to the truth! and you smahed 79 dislikers, who should not even be on her channel!! She is so beautiful ! AGAIN......Thanks!!!... from all Jackie's fan's and me!
I think Jackie has already passed Micheal Grimm in sales alone.I could be wrong. Jackie is to young for a Vegas show its easier this way. Jackie is winning the post AGT contest who gets the most money.
@mario48529 I don't know what you are saying!! She has a show in Vegas tomorrow night!!! She already has one Platinum Record and one Gold, far more than Grimm will ever have.
@prometheus0814 the prize for winning AGT was Million dollars a headline show in Vegas Jackie has surpassed the show just in Vegas.Give Michael Grimm Vegas, Jackie takes the world, and then some.
@mario48529 The only show in Vegas from AGT was the top-10 acts performing, with the winner being the headliner. Jackie was in that show. She has also perfomed with David Foster Oct. 15, 2010 and is in concert with him tomorrow Dec. 29, 2011.
FYI.. I just attended a concert by Jackie....in Las Vegas on Dec. 29th at Mandalay Bay to a nearly packed arena of over 5000 people. The concert was billed as David Foster and Friends featuring Jackie Evancho. She performed nine songs and was spectacular !!...and that is after she was sick and had a cold and a runny nose!
@mario48529 . I would give her a second place also...it is because she is sooooo good that it doesn't matter if she has a second place. The judges just wanted to give the 1st place to Grimm who really needs the money to build his life and build the home for his grandma. But, there was so much talent in the man also. The judges have the good hearts.
@prometheus0814 The winner is not chosen by voters, but by the producers who select the winner. The consensus is that Jackie had more votes, but the producers chose Michael. And I'm sure you're aware of the reasons. Call-in votes really mean nothing, except in earlier rounds. The show no longer has any credibility.
@bruceh7211 And how in your infinite wisdom do you know that she had more votes? Do you have the vote count received? You just make an unsubstantiated statement as if it were fact. Just saying that does not make it true. You really need some evidence to back up your meaningless conclusion. Just because the small print says the producers (not the judges) can choose the winner does not mean it was done. Where is your evidence?
@bruceh7211 I have to differ with you, at least a little. My suspicion, just my opinion, is that her parents made the decision to let Michael win. Why on earth would a little 10 year old girl want to be stuck for a year in that town, of all places? Her parents have lives in and near Pgh, Pa, and I'm just as sure that they don't want to be stuck with that obligation either. She's a child, needs to be able to be a child, at least now and then. I think it was a wise decision.
@sailorbsmart I hope that comment was directed at someone else &you just mis-clicked, because JE fans pretty much know why he won. There was NOT an obligation to perform a "headline show in Vegas."NOT part of the prize. AGT mispresented the prize. It was headlining ONE show in Vegas. The reason MG won is very clear if you do the research. Check it out . Best way to do that is at Amazon & join Jackie's FB fan page, also follow on Twitter. You'll get some up-to-date info.
All of BGT was first class to Jackie, here these two come on and ask a dumb question about how nervous you are, do they do that to any pro guest that comes on BGT or tell them out that way, one of them could have taken her arm and walked the little lady off stage to show their class,.but no it was go that way, may as well have said you'r done get off the stage.
while I know this was jackie's real voice, the all-women choir on-stage was not convincing because the actual choir being played had male voices. just saying guys.
@cureloms Amazing what people notice. You're right. Well the music has to come from somewhere.... tape most likely and it contains the choral part as well as the orchestration. I guess AGT has to make a big production out of everything hence the live group who may not have been singing at all. Jackie may have been the only live pert of it. Good catch.
Someone should have shown some real class and walked with the little lady off stage, instead of just saying, go out that way.To me it's like saying you'r done beat it kid.
I heard a joke yesterday. What's the difference between Jackie Evancho and a UFO sighting? The answer is simple. UFO's are seen all the time, But Jackie? NEVER

littlejackrussell12 2 weeks ago
@spunkiesag12 Charlotte Church at age 26, is worth 20 million dollars, is married (happily by all accounts) and thinks that nothing could come close to her two kids in terms of happiness and contentment. She doesn't like to sing classical which is why she stopped singing it. She is by no means, the failure that critics claim her to be and is far from being in the poor house. She still has a great voice, maybe not for classical but certainly for pop.
tube7562 2 weeks ago
@tube7562 Honestly, good for Charlotte Church that she is worth millions, (I hope the same to Jackie for college) but she cannot sing classical music well again because the way she abused her voice, which is my point. If I can't sing classical music anymore, I wouldn't want to sing it either. I wish Jackie would not sing these songs that are not for her age because she has potential to be the next female Pavarotti with a long lasting career instead of a short one which she is doomed to have.

@spunkiesag12 The key word here is "abused". Charlotte Church smoked and drank and those more than singing classical music, is what caused damage to her voice. Jackie seems to be pretty well taken care of and has the advice of doctors and voice coaches. Anything can happen in the future but for now Jackie seems to be destined for greatness singing what she sings...otherwise nobody would be talking about her.

@tube7562 yes but she lost her voice before she started to drink and smoke. No, Jackie is not taking care of her voice at all by singing arias that are meant for older singers. Just because she could sing the notes, does not mean that she should sing the arias. If she stop singing the arias, yes she has potential to be great like Danielle de Niese. She was a child prodigy herself but she took good care of her voice and knew what she couldn't sing. Look at her now, she has a great career still
spunkiesag12 2 weeks ago
@spunkiesag12 Trust me, you're beating a dead horse. This issue has been exhaustively discussed here and at other forums. Everyone, including the dead in their graves, understand the risks involved. Nothing new ! Jackie's parents are well aware of the pros and cons and only they and the doctors that examine her periodically, can assess what needs to be done.

@tube7562 look, I was only voicing my opinion and defending it. I highly doubt she has doctors involve in this if she is singing arias like nessum dorma. Nothing makes me more upset than watching young singers singing rep that will later be the reason why their voice has lost its vibrancy. Slow and stead always win the race.

Nothing wrong in voicing your opinions. No need to defend it though - we're not fighting a war :). No fan wants Jackie to lose her voice. It would be tragic for us fans.
By the way she does have periodic checks from good doctors. One of the doctors actually is a celebrity himself since he caters to famous singers. He is well known among the elite. This was widely reported on the internet. In January 2012 the doctor examined her and told her her vocal chords were "Pristine".

@tube7562 its all good. I hope for the best for Jackie, but I can't help but be a little worried for her. I've heard prodigy singers who not take care of their voices and ones who do take care of their voices. I've heard singers who do not take care of their voices because of singing heavy stuff. I hope that doctor is any good no matter how famous he is. I also hope that the little girl still has somewhat a childhood despite of her crazy schedule.

A classic example of US and UK ignorance, tastelessness, and stupidity. This is a famous TENOR aria and must be sung by an adult male operatic voice. Poor little girl, she is trying to cope with her pretty, tiny chirping, nonexistent breath control, and phonetic Italian. All these showbiz bozo apes think they are promoting talent, but this is fake, embarrassing elevator Muzak. Her shelf life is very short. I hope her greedy parents cash in before she gets too old and the voice disintegrates.

People talk of Jackie's operatic voice, but I think they are wrong. It's true she sings some opera songs but they are "crossover" classic style and not true opera. Are there better opera singers? Of course there are, but Jackie falls into a very narrow category of talent - a category occupied by singers like Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland.
The trained AND talented sopranos of opera will never see the day they can compete with Jackie for popularity and audience love.

@RoboSlater @RoboSlater Deanna was about 26 years of age in 1947. Jackie at 10/11 has the most beautiful tone I have ever heard. I think more beautiful than Eve Cassidy and Eva was known for her quality tone. Historians have compared Jackie to Jenny Lind. Now that's impressive. Jenny was born in 1820 and no recording exist, but only written testimonies. Jenny turned pro at 10 and was known for her beautiful rich tone.

@bladelee36 The winner is not chosen by the judges, but by telephone callers.

@prometheus0814 The winner is not chosen by voters, but by the producers who select the winner. The consensus is that Jackie had more votes, but the producers chose Michael. And I'm sure you're aware of the reasons. Call-in votes really mean nothing, except in earlier rounds. The show no longer has any credibility.

@bruceh7211 And how in your infinite wisdom do you know that she had more votes? Do you have the vote count received? You just make an unsubstantiated statement as if it were fact. Just saying that does not make it true. You really need some evidence to back up your meaningless conclusion. Just because the small print says the producers (not the judges) can choose the winner does not mean it was done. Where is your evidence?

@bruceh7211 I have to differ with you, at least a little. My suspicion, just my opinion, is that her parents made the decision to let Michael win. Why on earth would a little 10 year old girl want to be stuck for a year in that town, of all places? Her parents have lives in and near Pgh, Pa, and I'm just as sure that they don't want to be stuck with that obligation either. She's a child, needs to be able to be a child, at least now and then. I think it was a wise decision.

@sailorbsmart I hope that comment was directed at someone else &you just mis-clicked, because JE fans pretty much know why he won. There was NOT an obligation to perform a "headline show in Vegas."NOT part of the prize. AGT mispresented the prize. It was headlining ONE show in Vegas. The reason MG won is very clear if you do the research. Check it out . Best way to do that is at Amazon & join Jackie's FB fan page, also follow on Twitter. You'll get some up-to-date info.

All of BGT was first class to Jackie, here these two come on and ask a dumb question about how nervous you are, do they do that to any pro guest that comes on BGT or tell them out that way, one of them could have taken her arm and walked the little lady off stage to show their class,.but no it was go that way, may as well have said you'r done get off the stage.

while I know this was jackie's real voice, the all-women choir on-stage was not convincing because the actual choir being played had male voices. just saying guys.

@cureloms Amazing what people notice. You're right. Well the music has to come from somewhere.... tape most likely and it contains the choral part as well as the orchestration. I guess AGT has to make a big production out of everything hence the live group who may not have been singing at all. Jackie may have been the only live pert of it. Good catch.

Someone should have shown some real class and walked with the little lady off stage, instead of just saying, go out that way.To me it's like saying you'r done beat it kid.
