  • This made me cry lol

  • wow ¡she has a beautiful voice!

  • Thanks, papasmurfad, for uploading this for our enjoyment. Beautiful, soulful, so pure and heavenly!!!

  • I would love to know the entire story of this beautiful little girl/singer!

  • A beautiful young lady in every respect. Her voice literally floored me!

  • Im 19, A guy, Straight, And this rendetion of Ave Maria brought tears to my eyes. Simply Beautiful

  • @domz510 I really don't know what being straight has to do with enjoying beautiful music.

  • @expos73 If you should know why I put straight. I wanted people to know that not all straight guys are insecure about feeling deep emotion and showing their inner heart. Also knowing how to categorize something as beautiful.

  • @domz510 Okay i get it,but anyone with any common sense already knows that. And I'm quite sure there are just as many gay cretins as straight ones. I know however that there are stupid macho prejudices out there that attempt to influence what kind of music we should like but I hope anyone past high school has enough sense to dismiss such prejudices.

  • Acoustics is average. A couple of curtains behind her will fix that. She is beautiful.

  • Wow. Beautiful. God has gifted her with such a beautiful voice. thank you for posting.

  • She's gifted with her voice majorly who could've know a ten year old had such of a voice!

  • is she an angel in disguise?

  • Thank you Jackie for your inspiration.

    I made a video of me singing "In the Arms of Angel".

    I will sing "Ave Maria" someday. I am learning some Italian now. I love your voice and videos. ♥

  • Every day I have a need to hear this beautiful voice.I pray that her parents are smart enough to value her as a daughter and not push her for the almighty buck.I so look forward to hearing her as she matures for we haven't heard the best yet although it is hard to top her gift now.I also pray for those that are negative for they most certainly have issues.

  • I am not an opera fan per say, but in my 66 yr. life, I have not ever been more impressed by a singer like Jackie Evancho! I am now a fan of hers. Truly impressive! And I'm still a big fan of classic rock.

  • sometimes just sometimes ...a jewel a gem of pure vocal genius graces us ....lets us feel that if there is a heaven ,its among us..if there is a God im sure thats what he would sound like a voice that brings hope and fills me the possibilty that we can find joy in this world

  • Voice is soo sweet .. And then she sings ... Oh god its so powerful ... Bellisimo !!!

  • 'listen to this, 11yr.old Angel.....'

  • @StopEatingCats911 I do not go around looking for Jackie sites to bash. How I get there usually comes from ppl like you saying "just listen to how fantastic she is". If I write anything it is to inject a little reason, commonsense and professional opinion into the discussion. Other teachers like myself have rightly remarked that what she is doing is NOT good for her like Nessun Dorma. There may be short term benefits like money and exposure but it is very poor vocal management.

  • @zamyrabyrd She has a vocal coach/teacher far more recognized than you that is with her constantly when she performs

  • @zamyrabyrd Just what are your "professional" qualifications?, care to share that with us

  • She's sings like an angel !!her voice is so powerful

  • much too low for her voice...she should be singing it in a higher key

  • @zamyrabyrd

    Ms. Music teacher, maybe she is singing lower to protect her voice

  • @yomamajama777 This must be a full time job, putting out all those little fires wherever Jackie's name is mentioned - also a very funny comment "preserving her voice".

    First off, she is singing it lower to get a certain timbre, to push the sound into the resonators. This is a less than successful experiment as her breathing is even louder than usual, she can barely get to the end of phrases and there is an audible vibrato - all bad technique. For her voice type, she should sing high and light.

  • @zamyrabyrd

    Ms Zamyabirdie (Music Teacher)

    I am Gabriel (ArcAngel) Protector of all Children (including Jackie)

    Pray to Jesus for Forgiveness!!

    Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

    Don't Hinder our Golden Child (Jackie)!

    Sorry Jesus can't do anything for your OBESITY!!!

  • @zamyrabyrd

    Why so jealous of Jackie?

    You have never taught a advanced child like Jackie, so how can we validate

    your assertions.

    Name me one student of yours that had a successful career as a vocalist (any genre)

    Do you have any evidence??

    Young students are waiting Ms. Music teacher (Zamyabirdie)

  • @zamyrabyrd Sorry Ms High school music teacher, crawl back in your hole

  • @tecumsah011

    I agree about zamyrabirdie, are you a singer?

  • @yomamajama777 No. just someone who learned to appreciate music at age 5 some 67 years ago. I also recognize BS from a blowhard know it all such as Ms ? music teacher.

  • @zamyrabyrd I think it is interesting idea to sing Ave Maria in low range (as tenors do it) , she has talent for such voice - nobody at her age can it but I dislike when somebody describes it as “the richest soprano” when it is quite alto ending about in the middle range of soprano. Soprano child performances by Denis Placzkowski (c-dur) and more popular b-dur: Vienna Boys Choir, Sasha Cherkas, Andrew Johnston, Denis Cmieesnsky or Anrew Swait and a lot of others.

  • @2010wieliczka A singer should sing in his or her range as a rule and going out of it only occasionally with a high degree of skill. When this is not being done it is a cause for concern and speculation. Her recordings are considerably better than the live performances - wonder why? When she sings high and light, it is very good and appropriate for her age. The promoters and coaches are the ones who are pushing her into areas that cannot benefit her development as already the seams are showing.

  • @zamyrabyrd Note that she has a low vocal range and can sing down to tenor f , but has seriously problems above, her a’’ is forced. To compare to typical soprano- Lorin Wey couldn’t sing in small octave but had uniform, rich clear timbre from c’ to c’’’ and whole this range was soft game for him. So I think she realizes her natural gift and she should concentrate on it (alto & mezzo tessitura) contralto is a great voice. Ofcourse warmly wish her to be as perfect as Lorin.

  • @2010wieliczka Just the opposite, she is a soprano and should not be singing too low especially forcing the sound into the resonators to get a certain timbre. Her high notes are clear and beautiful.

  • @zamyrabyrd Listen to the Jackie Memory -there is alto f. Only adult, experienced artists with such low voice can easily (modal) sing soprano (Cecilia Bartoli, Carlo Broschi etc. despite Cecilia declares as mezzo). Soprano is singer who can easily rich range at least to c''', even up, with height tessitura and coherent timbre, about 75% notes in sixth octave (from c’’ up) It is real challenge for vocal cords, muscles for child and it would be a crime forced her to do it.

  • @2010wieliczka I'm sorry but she sounds much more comfortable in the upper range. In Memory I didn't hear any note below alto g and where the melody hovers around there, "a" or so, it was barely audible. Of course, it is not a good idea to peg a voice so young but it is possible to discern where it naturally gravitates. She really is a talented kid and should sing in the best range and not push too high or low. One should perform not at the limits of the voice - a 3rd away high or low is good.

  • @zamyrabyrd sorry, not f bat f sharp, my mistake is exactly major second - keywords Jackie Evancho (9 years)- Memory - Cats 2:24 and it is when she was 9, after vocal change she will increase her low register as every girl. Thanks for exchange of views. As neutral conclusion listen to the extremity: keywords “female baritone” and “Erna Sack - Voices of Spring” :) Or child stratospheric voice- keyword “opera.avi” at 2:54 :) Thanks for discussion.

  • @2010wieliczka No need to bring in vocal extremes. The point about singing popular and crossover music is that a lower sounding voice is preferred, because that is, after all, the speaking range. When J sings Pie Jesu, it fits like a glove b/c it is high. But she also sounds like a kid. This is the point I and others have made, singing out of her natural range esp. now in this early stage of the game is not healthy at all. She could sing Ave Maria higher but it would not have that pop sound.

  • @zamyrabyrd but it is different problem- that she is not push in low register but in crossover mode and it is harmful for her tallent . A lot of pop- cc singers could sing soprano but they don’t do this because it is unimportant in their popular career but I think it is not good place at this forum to talk about it because people will kill as for being “opera snobs”.

    Real soprano is not for crossover- people don’t like real soprano except its charming definition. Thanks for discussion.

  • @2010wieliczka We can continue this discussion on my channel if you want. It is nice to know there are some intelligent people who can discuss music performance without carrying a pickaxe.

  • @zamyrabyrd ok I will continue discusion when I come back from work, it will be nice to exchange points of view,thanks.

  • My sons both have done work in theater and recording. The sound of breathing during the performance blows any accusation of lip-synching out of the water. I think it's pure jealousy.

  • please see this Video good singer to :) amazing : /watch?v=b5ycytv_mh8

  • The vocal gods have blessed this child with a gift.... Keep singing girl

  • HITMAN!

  • Eat your heart out Justine Bieber. You will NEVER have the talent this girl has. She puts you to shame!

  • Question: How can one dislike something he knows absolutely nothing about?  Duh!!!!

  • She walks up there cool as a cucumber. and holy mother of God does she ever deliver live.

    Her live performances are even more impressive than her songs from studio. The most silky smooth music comes from her always in front of a Live audience. To borrow a line from Lady GaGa, She was "born this way".

  • I cannot imagine how much better she will be in 5 or ten years when she develops more lung power because she has a truly beautiful voice now and seems so at home or at ease on the stage

  • See!! I can't even spell "opera"...lol

  • @ioneevans this is classical music not opera :P

  • Never liked oprah...or that "type" of music..normally Imma gospel-hip-hop type of girl...lol...but the I heard this voice...truly a gift from God...I bought the cd...

  • REALMENTE UNA VOZ DEMASIADA HERMOSA.. ESE COLOR QUE TIENE ES ANGELICAL.. COMO QUISIERA TENER UNA VOZ ASI =( SU CANTO TRANSMITE TRANQUILIDAD.. TRISTEZA.. X_x !! DEMASIADAS EMOCIONES QUE POCOS LOGRAN... EXITOS PARA TI.. NIÑA PRECIOSA.. YA ERES UNA ESTRELLA EN EL CIELO!!!!!

  • this is her REAL VOICE haters make her famous, if you have a bad comment about her well then why did you care enough to look at this video in the first place! dorks

  • @JustDance2Fever There fault finders and there getting frustrated because they can't find any

  • What a beautiful, delightful, and marvelous child that the Lord has given. "The blessings of the Lord maketh rich, and he addeth no sorry with it."

  • GOD HELP US PROTECT THIS ANGEL!!!

  • Just beautiful!! She is such a young girl with already a great voice! Many adults may wish they could sing like her :)... sounds like an angel to me ;)

  • The most beautiful version of "Ave Maria" I have ever heard. Made me cry. Absolutely breathtaking.

  • Superb. Breathtaking. Perfect.

  • Superb. Breathtaking. Perfect.

  • Jackie Evancho's voice sets me adrift on an uncharted voyage of thoughts until the applaudes brought me back to reality of joy for Jackie is with us in our time.

  • i like that she always dresses so humbly and modest unlike some other child talent singers who dress up like they're going to a club! God bless her...and her parents too

  • 如果,野原新之助(蠟筆小新)小朋友是在孩童身體裏,裝了一個毫­不掩飾自身情慾的色男人靈魂

    那麼,你會怎麼形容Jackie Evancho ?

    我只能說:上個禮拜諸多的不如意當中,這個有著完美女高音孩童的­歌聲,給了我最大的安慰!!

  • Aside from the breathing, lots of talent, lots of potential. Kudos little girl!

  • AS far as her Breathing, she is small in size and Stature, thus she has smaller lung capacity, as she grows I am certain you will see her breathing patterns change.

  • Ever notice how People get on here and talk smack about people who are famous and have "Made it", while they sit at home with their miserable existence. LOL> @ IRegan101, are you sure it is lip-synching you are refering too. Many talk about Jakie's tendency to Lipsing.... Because she is so young it is very difficult to have a good vibrato, Jackie accomplishes it with her Lips and lower Jaw shaking.....

  • @smccray01

    Are you a vocalist or a music teacher???

    The lower jaw shaking is will not cause major vocal damage, matter of fact her

    recent videos reflect minimal chin wobble.

    Now Charlotte Church had a more pronounced chin wobble and she still sings pop.

    Self-inflicted problems such as chain smoking, drinking and maternity caused

    vocal issues.

  • I really hope her voice won't change along with her growth...This is a gift by God!

  • @MrsCiscolupe Don't worry. Her voice will only become stronger and richer.

  • I Love The Sound So Awesome Fan From Indonesia

  • She will need to be protected and guarded, so that she will not be exploited or taken advantaged of. She is so beautiful, but so vulnerable.

  • @RichardWagner1,

    Rest assured, Jackie is being looked after very well. No one is going to exploit her. She also has a great family behind her, and two loving Parents with prestigious Parenting skills. Jackie will do just fine!

  • She is amazing may God watch over. I hope she has a strong mother to watch over her.

  • she needs work on breathing techniques when you sing properly your shoulders do not move but your stomaach/diaphram do move. The breath is also slient. but otherwise the voice is good nice vibrato and latin pronounciations my choir did this song.

  • @HotDevilchick666

    come on, take it easy on her technique.............

    she´s just a little girl

    but a blessed little girl

  • Sit back, relax, remain still, you are in th presence of an angel!! There can be no other explanation for this beautiful child and her God-given voice..

  • Her voice is absolutely perfect but she breaths into the mic too much. If she could break that habit she would be perfect, probably the greatest singer of all time.

  • @ReturnofPmtmr Actually, with that type of wireless microphone placed so close to the singer's mouth, the sensitivity is such that, even with a foam windscreen, breathing sounds are easily picked up. To a lot of us in the industry, to eliminate all of the breath sounds from a recording tends to cause it to lose some of its naturalness. Just listen to some of the recordings of such greats as Julie London, Alison Krauss, and Norah Jones. To remove the sound of their breathing would be a crime.

  • I am a female vocalist too and have been for coming up to 12 years. this track is my all time favourite classical track, and I have never been moved to tears by a vocalist before I heard your version, absolutely perfect. I wish you every success in your career Jackie you are a rarity in this trade, a vocalist with an actual talent, nothing fake about you I am truly blown away by your voice as is everyone I have shown this too. Amazing

  • The most beautiful voice in the universe

  • i attended this concert on 2/18/11 in Houston.This was her first Solo Concert as a professional. She was 10 yrs old and seemed very small until she began to sing. That old church had never heard sounds like Jackie made. I left in a daze trying to comprehend what I saw and heard. You just have to see her live to understand.

  • Lovely girl, lovely music. All Authentic, and is Alright with me ! Merry Christmas Jackie E !

  • her brain is where her talent comes from, her vocals and throat are normal, she has something special in her brain that lets her sing so beautiful... saw it on the science channel ... you go jackie, beautiful girl... we love you...

  • Fantastic. It is so rare to see true Genius performed with such innocent passion. A light to the world.

  • the choir was amazing also..

  • no way......that was amazing.

  • OMG!I'm speachless

  • *-* hermoso y es super linda Jackie Evancho :$

  • JACKIE IS AN ANGEL AND A MUSICAL GENIUS! BACH IS PROUD OF HER!

  • @zinpgh Schubert....not Bach

  • Can someone tell me what key this is in by any chance?

  • Hey thanks Papasmurfdad, for all posted

  • .@holywells I am reposting your reply so others may enjoy it " After originally viewing this video, all of the guys here at the studio were equally amazed that she has been the ONLY singer any of us have ever witnessed performing such a unique vocal achievement. Even our best equipment can't react and adjust that rapidly without smearing the audio. Now, after my 47 years in this industry, I can truly say that I have seen an example of how well a singer, with her control, can perform this feat

  • she is only too young to get real advices. look at his breathing method, i understand he`s a kid and i love her, but her tehnik isn`t as great as should be. I am a fan of her, just like you, and i am reconciled a child can bring tears to it`s generation empty of feelings.

  • @AdriaFloriDeSoc

    Jackie vocal coach is Yvie Burnett, trained as an operatic mezzosoprano, and sung professionally with the Welsh National Opera.

    She remains in her head voice the majority of the time which is the safest voice for her, so as not to put too much pressure on her lungs and not to push too much air through her chords. Jackie does not "belt"

    and therefore puts no strain on the vocal chords. She sees a throat doctor (Otolaryngologists) twice a year

    to assure health vocal chords

  • @yomamajama777

    "...cords...vocal 'cords'..."

  • @EdWatts

    I agree that Jackie vocals are special and will have long healthy productive career!

  • @iReagan101 Hey, thanks for a good laugh, because I haven't seen the "lipsinging" matter come up in quite a while. Actually, the correct term would be "lip-synching", which, of course, Miss Evancho has NEVER done. She loves her music and is becoming a rising megastar with her beautiful songs and fast rising fan base. Watch the videos of her with David Foster at the PBS concerts to see how well she handles difficult pieces of music. By the way, thank you for your personal opinion. Good day.

  • @holywells um thats her real voice

  • @iReagan101 Jackie has sung with the likes of Sarah Brightman, Tony Bennett, Katherine Jenkins, The Canadian Tenors, among others and David Foster accompanies her. So you must think that all of these other singers are lip synching too, right??? Do you think that these other performers would even be caught on the same stage or making a recording with someone that lip synchs? Get a clue!!!

  • @iReagan101 Why don't you go listen to the real loser (Michael Grimm)

    and get off Jackie's You Tube cannel. Go listen to you rap crap.

  • @iReagan101,

    What Planet was that you say you are from? The Lip-Synching was debunked a long time ago. Listen to her sing Neesun Dorma on BGT when she went to England, then listen to the same song as a guest performer on AGT 2011. Jackie sounds much better on AGT which uses no electronic enhancements, just some reverb to balance the hall!. BGT is the one with all the electronic trickery. You can't fool God!

  • her second nature them is a nightingale, she rises like a lark

  • 9 people have their head up their ass

  • @peterbilt35248 now there is 11 of them obviously tone deaf not seen her live

  • She's so fantastic. The true example of God's perfection...

  • hermosa. C:

  • Some of you should be sterilized so your bad genes can end with you. Our saving grace is that you all kill yourselves faster than you reproduce!

  • @holywells What you said is so amazing to hear. I love hearing from professional people who can explain on how is it possible that can Jackie sing so beautifully.. Thank you so much for your info..

  • @yomamajama777... Of course I don't, but you SPELL like a trained monkey. LMAO Can you say "illiterate"? Are you even capable of producing coherent words larger than monosyllables? My guess is no.

  • She is singing to a pre-recorded track.

  • Remarkable. How she does it I have no Idea. To the detractors, what mastery did you display as a child?  When you point the finger at someone else, three point back at you.

  • is she pigeon toed? it's cute, but when she grows up she wont love it too much XD

  • After reading the comments I have to say: what petty things people say in reviews gives Americans the reputation they have. I did not notice her dress, I thought the complete presentation was Heavenly. She is marvelous and nothing said or done or written can take away from her Gifts. God bless her always. :)

  • thank you . love you

  • Wonderful performances by Jackie. But the organizers had to provide sound geting from audio system, and not with sound with all defects and noise in the hall.

  • fantastic singer and will be one of the great singers in this world

  • different horses , for different courses, the girl can sing though no question about that

  • she looks like Belle Dingle out of Emmerdale, even Belle dresses better

  • beautiful voice I thought it was a 28 year old woman singing, only complaint and it's nothing to do with her voice , why the old fashioned dowdy dress, young women like modern fashion , that dress is tatty

  • @smezatu2010 Young women don't typically appreciate classic music either.

  • como quiera cantar asi..! canta como angelito esta niña

  • Sometimes someone out-does one's self.

    And when that someone is Jackie...watch out and hang on.

  • Surely she's an angel sent by God in this end times so everyone can here a voice from an angel before the earth will be renewed.

  • JACKIE COMES FROM GOD ADN SHE HAS A  MISSION TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT WITHOUT GOD ISNT POSSIBLE LIVE. SHE IS AS A HOLY WHEN SING!

  • Her voice gives me chills!!! She is such a talented singer!!!

  • She Scares Me .__. OMG she's super talented

  • tears

  • @mrjuancarlos actually she does remarkably well using her breathe techniques, remember she's got apple sized lungs at this age.

  • JACKIE JUST MELTS MY HEART & SOUL,I FOUND HER WHEN MY BROTHER PASSED AWAY LAST JUNE,2010,GOD BLESS HER,WHAT AN AWESOME,LOVING,BEAUTIFUL TALENTED GIRL SHE IS

  • This girl is my most favourite artist. She is so nice to listen to...warms the soul..

  • Reminds me of Maria Callas as having sufficient bass or depth... and oh, she's so very

    young.

  • such a beautiful voice that is anointed by god :)

  • Julie Andrews was performing at the same age. Her parents, however, were using her as their mealticket. Ironically, she became the adult in her family. Jackie is fortunate to have much different parents, but if she has Julie's guts, she has a long career before her.

  • perfection is jackie evancho!!!

  • It is not a matter of training, it certainly is her body. She might have an "abnormality"

  • JAKISYF

  • wth she sounds like a little girl when she talks but when she sings she sounds like an adult O.o she's so damn good

  • She is the best better than Maria Callas

  • Hermosa, la mejor interpretacion que he visto de esta cancion, esta niña tiene un brillante futuro

  • COMO ADULTO CANTA MUY BIEN PERO HASTA AHI.

  • MMMM TIENE VOZ DE ADULTO Y NO DE NIÑA...SOLO POR ESO NO ME GUSTA

  • Brava

  • truly given a gift from God.... <3

  • Very nice.. just need to learn how to take softer breaths.. if that makes sense..

  • Гениальная девочка! Очень красивый тембр голоса!Еще надо поработать над дыханием(немного портит впечатление).Но у нее большое будущее!!!

  • Comment removed

  • i'm convinced jackie is of the arien race.

  • She has a gift from God, for her parents and siblings she is the gift from God.

    Phenomenal!

    There is no one like her in this department. And people embrace her like a daughter.

    A bit far in the horizon is Charice, no can sing classic pop like her but she is "different".

  • Papa pitufo??

  • @princessandbluemoon

    Lol! Only 6?

  • What a fantastic performance! As a sound and recording engineer, I could hear how quickly the genius brain of this wonderful prodigy was reacting to the acoustics of the church and making constant corrections in her vocal tones. At a few places it caused her pitch to "slide over" on certain frequencies and change her overtones, but, at least, without any real problems. That doctor from the 20/20 show interview of her certainly had the correct analysis of well she can control her beautiful voice!

  • @holywells Every time I read your post I'm so impressed by it because as the professional that you are you could hear how Jackie was able to correct her vocal tones.. I find that so fascinating.. Thank you for posting such a great explanation on the genius of Jackie's music.

  • Comment removed

  • @holywells go see her live it may not be your music,but it might become it,sit down front it will be a good tax deductible trip

  • Love this classic, love Jackie singing it, and P.S.,, PAPA SMURF??

  • I didn't notice this before.. After the standing ovation is over.. No one is sitting down.. As long as Jackie is on stage they want to look at her and then more applauds as she receives flowers..
