  • gibsonia? pittsburgh? which is in truth? O.o

  • Did she win?

  • lol she doesnt what the title mean in english but she sings the song perfectly in a way that the audience can picture what the song is all about,.

  • stunning!

  • Jackie's a rare one that both has it, and gets it, and so young, even. Lucky us!!

  • This is one of the reasons why people put these shows on its fun to work with all the performers.I have seen performances from kids and adults in competition and theater in local theater and schools that would make you cry so many times they do not get on You tube very often.So it has its reward

  • I'm singing a tribute song at my daughter's wedding. I'll make sure she doesn't see this. After hearing Jackie sing even at this age, I'm just a pretender along with most others. This is the real thing.

  • Hard to believe she came in 2nd place. Who could have possibly sounded better?

  • This video should be titled "Jackie turns hostess into blubbering blob". I love watching the other contestants become stunned by Jackies angelic voice and innocent demeanor.

  • she was actually pretty good before the "pros" got to her and added the exaggerations and affectations in order to wow the musically ignorant.

  • What a great post! This shows the genius just starting to move in her. Obviously she was born with talent, but genius is something much harder to measure. Yet toward the end of the song you can see the song start take hold of her, and that "possession" she talks about start to sing through her. Really interesting. Gotta love this girl.

  • They said Jackie was the youngest Opera singer at age 10, they

    were not correct, She was the youngest Opera singer at age 8.

    Beautiful voice, beautiful girl and a great talent.

  • She sings so beautifully and with such feeling, She makes me cry nearly every time I listen to her.

  • Even before having professional voice coaches this shows The Angel has always had perfect pitch....I love the other contestants reactions in this video...you know they all went home thinking "well I thought I had talent...maybe not" LOLZ

  • @JackieFan123 She actually started taking voice lessons in June of 2008, when she was 8 years old. So she had probably been having them for a year or so when she sang here. Still very impressive.

  • it's good that miley is not one of her favorite but lady gg...why?

  • Seven dislikes????????????? These people must be deeply disturbed. Jackie was fantastic here. One of her best early performances. I for one, sure wouldn't want to have to follow that act.

  • @adventurous63

    Know someone whom is in love witrh her. Him is a little to old for her----44.

  • The girl in pink says in her mind..DAMIT!!! i think i lost..

  • c'est émouvant cette petite voix encore mal assurée, un peu tremblante et finalement si touchante... longue vie à cette petite fille, une petite fée non ?

  • Beautiful vioce she must have come from angels she's the first nine year old I've seen with a vioce like that

  • It's a simple equation.

    Jackie's Talent divided by Jackie's Age = secretariat

  • That host is a dumbass.

  • @DeathIsMySalvation I concur

  • This is also my favorite Jackie video. It captured one moment in her life where her talent was still raw but shows incredible potential and promise. I think what makes Jackie so impactful is her unique combination of talent and innocence.

    What makes me sad is that she can only stay precisely like that for such a short moment. Life will inevitably exposes her to heartbreaks and pains -- I sincerely hope she can retain as much as the sparks she possesses now as she grows up.

  • 3:50 the reaction of many I'm sure.

  • I think the woman was talking to an eight year old as most people would, she just didn't know what the future held for this little girl as we do now. So give her some slack.

  • OMG I'm bawling!!!!

  • This may not be Jackie's best vocal performance, but it is certainly the most moving. Here we have a lovely girl with a beautiful voice singing a beautiful melody. There are here no glitzy special effects, no excess vibrato, no show biz personalities, no attempt to "wow" an audience with vocal dexterity. The true beauty of a great melody lies in its simplicity; it is a shame that Jackie with her has sung so few of them- apart from a small assortment of Christmas carols.

  • I crying, when I see this video

  • Jackie is being cast in a major movie. Robert Redford saw her on on TV last month during Jackie's AGT guest appearance. Robert Redford handpicked Jackie after he saw her sing. She was in Vancouver shooting scenes. The movie's total is THE COMPANY YOU KEEP. It's a political thriller. Robert Redford stars as well as produces and directs. Huge big name cast. This is no small movie.

  • @onebaud1 Don't be too hard on them LOL! She actually auditioned twice with AGT and was turned down, including the year she won the Youtube contest. I saw a brief clip once of one of her auditions, which was good of course, but was just a typical pop song. That does not and cannot show her true abilities with her voice. As Piers Morgan said after her rendition of Pie Jesu, "anyone can sing pop", not everyone can sing classical.

  • Sorry that's "woman", not "women" - there's only one of them.

  • Cut the women some slack. She thought she was talking to an ordinary, typical nine year old. Obviously she was sensitive enough to be touched by Jackie's performance from her tears.

  • Im I the only one who hate that lady interviewing?

  • @justforfreegame ummm, why would someone hate her?

  • It reminds me of the time Bugs Bunny got away from Elmer Fudd by singing

  • Just think! She didn't have even one clue back then of what she would be in for, LOL! Look at her now, known all over the world. And to this day she is oblivious to money and sings her heart out for us for the love of singing and sharing her wonderful talent with us.

  • I love how innocent and cute she looks on her pink dress BEFORE she starts to sing, then she sings like a pro and mass murdered the lesser talent of the rest of the participants :D they look at her like saying: "oh come on... seriously? no way..." hahaha Amazing talent.

  • omg

  • I wish this clip was just a bit longer so we could have heard the crowd's reaction.

  • @shirl767 I think it would have been stunned silence, and some tears.

  • "Innocence has a power evil cannot imagine" -- tagline from Guillermo del Toro's Academy Award winning movie, Pan's Labyrinth. Jackie, the young wonderful person, speaks to me in many ways, including that.

  • Why knock the woman talking to Jackie? Have you ever tried talking to an eight year old child? it's not that easy. How did you expect her to know she was in the presance of greatness. When she teared up, she then knew what she was witnessing. As did everyone in that room.

  • @rsaba206 Why defend boorish behavior? It would not matter if the child was 5 you do not ask a question and instead of letting them answer you interrupt with a snide condescending remark to show your superiority. Besides, Jackie was 9 here, not 8 and is bright enough to answer questions intelligently.

  • Jackie is now eleven, and has proven to us all that this little clip wasn't a fluke, but a taste of what was to come, a truly magnificent singer for the world to enjoy for years to come. And the tears continue to flow while she sings. Anyone that finds fault in her singing has never heard her in person. Some of the YouTube clips do not convey her true sound, so don't judge her by listening to these copy clips.

  • I certainly don't mean to be mean (honest!), but you can kind of see the thoughts of the other (older) contestants at 3:00 : "oh, crap! I gotta follow after that!?!" Laugh. She did really well here. And I guess her great taste in fashion REALLY is her and her Mom, as this is before the handlers got involved (I have to imagine). Those two know how to dress a girl! Kudos to them both.

  • I am a 63 YO guy sitting here watching this and my eyes are flowing over like two waterfalls! Happens to me every time she sings!

  • she not sings like an angel, but is truly an angel. She sang so peacefully and beautifully delivers the emotion to our heart. :))

  • @craps3344 Watching this video for the 1000 time and wonder: no thunder, no angels with trumpets, no star, no nothing? She's being born introduced by a donkey, singing her way out to a chip microphone, Simon Cowell wants to sign (or kill) them all, Marry (Lisa) staying in the shadow, Joseph (Michael) providing for his family of four. Peace to all of you. J-mass all year long.

  • Even the guy with the guitar couldn't look any more, he was prob. up next!

    Like the" Oh holy night" at the school talent show.

    She went to sit back down and all the other contestants looked like their puppies just got run over...QVC#3 one of my favs

  • I would have tears in my eyes also if I was there to hear this. Heck I have them right now and I am home on my computer.

  • Will the next contestant please step up to the mike - - - - - - Next contestant? - - - - - Hello?

  • Just look at the audience in the stage. The interpretation of this amazing child goes so deep that even the host, without even understanding the lyrics of the song, is so moved that dries the tears from his face. Even the boy and the girl with the guitar are deeply impacted. The musicalization of this song also was amazing.

  • I'm a 44 year old guy, and this little girl makes me all teary-eyed every time I listen to her sing. Grace like that can only come from one place. There are so many bad singers out there, and so many performers with no talent. Jackie is a true flower of grace and beauty, and it is a privilege that we get to witness this flower bloom for us.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't think that the announcer was expecting that one. Has anybody got any tissues, the poor women's make-up is running. lol.

  • @MrrPye Well that was short and sweet. what you doing, practising ?.

  • My god, can you imagine your daughter skipping around the house at a young nine and singing like that? Or hearing that at a grade school recital that all parents know about? Look at how the m.c. just melted. She is just precious and I have never in my life said that before. Ever. The sweet factor just blew me away. If you watch her in the next two years she still has this endearing habit of touching her dress when she sings. I think it is a sign that she is totally focused on the song.

  • those other girls were like holy crap we are going to lose to a 9 year old girl.

  • This is about as unique and genuine as you can get. Exactly what it takes to make a great performer.

  •  Jackie keeps melting my heart away.

  • i love her singing i

  • wow so amazing, and just a year later her voice is so much more powerful!! and when the woman was crying was touching

  • Dictionaries need to start having pictures now. Next to the words PRECIOUS, AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, MESMERIZING, etc etc etc - Jackie Evancho's picture

  • I hear a lot of people say that Jackie Evancho sings like and angel.

    I think in heaven, if an angel is a really good singer it would be said that the angel sings like Jackie Evancho. She is THAT good!

  • What a blessing this world has received in the form of young Jacqueline Marie Evancho!!!

  • Made my heart smile to see this. Thanks for posting it.

    Jackie is such a lovely child with such a talent.

  • I thought it touching when the emcee began to cry. I'm sure she knew she was standing in the shadow of potential greatness. She was used to hearing talent and I'm sure this was an OMG moment for her... I doubt she will ever forget it.

  • Did she win?

  • @KaylaSchoolgirl20 She did not win, because so many stupid people jealous of her talent, her beauty, or even her golden hair !!! They should feel shameful one day, when they grow up and mature mentally !

  • I like the hostess , she was friendly and made Jackie feel a bit relaxed before her performance cuz i'm sure she , like any other person would have been a bit nervous . She seems to be moved by Jackie's singing , as i'm sure were others who were there .

  • wow that was quite a treat to see Jackie at a younger age and now I can really see how she has grown leaps and bounds, from the power of her voice, to her movements and hand gestures she now does so well..this is simply amazing..i assume she was 8 yrs old here..

  • WOW! I hope she won. What an incredible flower of grace and beauty. 

  • JUST BEAUTIFUL !!BLESS YOU JACKIE

  • Why do we cry when we hear her sing this song?

    We don't even understand what the song is about.

  • @vproducer062 me too,She sing the song about Love,the girl say to her papa for please about her love...if he disallow her to marriage,she will thrown herself in the river

  • She brings tears to my eyes, and joy to my heart!!!

  • I am sure all of the other constestants were saying "So, what do we get for second place?"

  • How far she's come in two years. She's only getting better.

  • @sistersofcomedy

    The reason many people think she's so extraordinary is because she demonstrated skill far beyond the vast majority of child singers before she had even undergone any training at all; whereas all of the best child singers around her age that I've ever heard of have underdone extensive training from the time they were very young. Many as young as 3, possibly even younger.

  • In fairness to the lady who introduced Jackie before the song she visibly had tears in her eyes during the performance and had to wipe her eyes at least twice.

    She was visibly TOUCHED by Jackie.

    Yes, JACKIE was SUPERB !!!!!

  • I have to admit Jackie Evanko is my favorite opera singer I have followed her career and she is one fantastic little lady Canadians love you

  • I watch her every single day. What a pure artist.

  • Comparing her singing in this clip and the one she sang in AGT, show how much improvements she had made over that one year and just imagine how good she will be for the years to come. I believe one day she'll be the greatest singer of all time.

  • @KNEWBIES I keep coming back to this performance just to see her in her earliest way. Just got DWM in the mail Monday, what growth! Watched the PBS Great Performances special last night. We are witness to greatness. The video is on it's way as well. Can't wait.

  • proof of God's love...

  • OMG this is superb! Exactly how it should be sung. It's a tragic story of a Father who bitter and tired of life, who wants to kill himself and his daughter pleading with him. Her delivery is unbelievable. She doesn't even realise it and she is only 9 but it's one of the best versions of this song I've ever heard. Highly underrated

  • @KNEWBIES Jackie is only 8 when she sings this song That's how amazing she is :) So much for being patronized hey? It's the grown up who is crying now :) Jackie is superb..

  • @KNEWBIES Technically, This song is from a COMEDY OPERA.....Yet everyone sings it very seriously.

    I love it sung "SERIOUSLY" and JACKIE does seem to bring that innocence to it that more established professionals do not.

    JACKIE will be one of the All TIME GREATS !!

  • superb

  • @sistersofcomedy I will be watching to see if you make it. I do commentary on AGT. I seriously doubt you can sing anywhere in the neighborhood of Jackie. The thing is there might be 5 people in the world that can and if you're one, I'll be standing up for you next year.But until then, bashing Jackie will win you no wars.

  • Check this out - when this video gets to time 2:44 - there is a blond girl in a bright pink ribbon & dress watching Jackie. Her name is Stowe Brown. Search HER name in You Tube and click on her video where she is wearing the pink dress. As she is singing, the camera pans to Jackie watching Stowe perform - although don't blink as it is very quick. Talk about cool!

  • @sistersofcomedy Great name for you "sisters of comedy" because I'm laughing my ass off at you.

  • @sistersofcomedy Too bad you didn't make it... who knows what we missed ...

  • I can't believe how perfect that was

  • Jackie was amazing then, she is amazing now and she will have an amazing future and how blessed are we to witness and be part of her wonderful future thru the songs and performances she will bring us.. I cant wait.. sometimes I wish I could fast forward her life just to see how great it will be

  • The hoast of the show did not realize what just happend but she felt it, she was in tears by the end of the song. JACKIE you are somthing very special to us all!!!

  • Jackie is simply the best! God was showing off when he created this little angel, and we are the lucky beneficiaries of her talent, and her love.

  • full version of Jackies duet with Sue Boyle on sues facebook.Stunning!!!!!

  • Incredible..

  • Thanks Ron, that is a GOOD reply !!

  • the divine walk among us, and where they just pause, the breath stops to us.

  • @wendeltreppe100 Right, at the very moment Jackie sang on AGT, the World stood still for millions of us.

  • @wojciechzby she completely shines from the inside, how the sun.

    She loves.

  • @wendeltreppe100 So we are watching a supernova long before the AGT explosion.

  • even now you can see her possibilities;;;; she loves the music she wants you to love it as well. so beautifully sang...go ahead and wipe your eyes its ok ~ww~

  • her age is 11 now! happy birthday!

  • shes absolutly AMAZING!

  • Tunanorth= Already ordered it! Just wish I didn't have to wait until June.

  • She was nine years old when this video was made, NINE YEARS OLD!!! and yet some people seem to forget that fact when they make negative comments about her singing capability. My God! She sounds better at nine years of age than some supposedly good adult singers of today. The poetic justice of it all is the fact she is now recognized, at the ripe old age of ten, as one of the great singer's of our generation. So, what is there to critisize NOW!!!

  • @rsaba206

    Her upcoming CD "Dream With Me" reached as high as #9 on Amazon [#1 on Amazon Broadway and Vocals] on PRESALE.

    It won't actually be released until mid-June!

  • The look (and tears) on the faces of the backstage people in this video is priceless! They know in their hearts they're witnessing the greatest vocal prodigy of all time.

  • jaw dropping

  • Close your eye's and listen. You will swear you are listening to a recording that was made in the 1930's by some famous singer of that era. Then open your eye's and be shocked at what you see. This was without a doubt the begiining of a major talent we will enjoy for years to come.

  • Pure loveliness!

  • I dont cry unless I hear this..

  • Wow just watched Celebrity Fight Night benefit in Phoenix march 19,she totally blew the audience of famous people away,she had many in tears with her songs of when you wish upon a star and phantom of the opera ,and o mio babbino caro she had david foster playing the piano,I have never heard such a beautiful voice,cannot wait for her new cd in june

  • compare this to her now, the improvement is UNBELIEVABLE!

  • Birth of a superstar.

  • I love this video!!!... thanks for the post!!!! I hope I didn.t wear this video out ,like her others I play, over and over! can't help it !! her Voice is like a magnet, People out there think they love her a lot! , that maybe true!! "BUT" NOT AS MUCH AS ME!!!!! She is our Angel!.. Right???

  • I heard that the next contestant after jackie.. went up to Jackie. God her autograph and wet home :)

  • There is a posting of this song from an opera singer from the 1930's somewhere here on YouTube that is hauntingly close to Jackie's perfomance here. The quality of the audio of Jackie's perfomance here and the one from years ago is, as I said, hauntingly close. Search "O Mio Babbino Caro" and see what I mean. We are so blessed to witness this little wonder.

  • Just saw her Boca Raton concert with full symphony and Stars of the Met over 3500 in the audience she brought the audience to their feet on every song,she is such a gifted little girl,it is totally unbelievable how she has changed in one year,her voice  is stunning and jaw dropping now.

  • I just watched Jackie sing on the PBS special David Foster and friends where Jackie sang this and the audience acted the same way ,with many tears ,Jackies beautiful voice and innocence goes right for the heart.A star growing up berfore our eyes we are so lucky to see this.

  • I wonder what the announcer thinks now about Jackie the superstar world renowned voice

  • This is one of the most amazing videos of Jackie I've ever seen. She looks SOOO young and innocent here (yet she's only a year or so older at the time of this comment! ) and the woman who introduced her was sooo condescending, never realizing just how good Jackie was until she was brought to tears by Jackie's unbelievable talent.

  • @Skydancer365 That is exactly what I thought!!! She cut Jackie off, "Was it angels?" And Jackie looked a little depressed because of the way she was being patronized, but she politely went along with it. There's a particular sadness to this performance that strangely suits this song, but makes me feel bad for her.

  • I perfect gift from God for us.

  • When I want to be in awe.. I watch this video and then I think of where jackie is now and where she will be in the next few years.....

  • Sublime.Cette petite Jackie...........Merci

  • i wish this video was 15 sec longer so we can see what happened next or hear the host who was brought to tears try & speak

  • Comment removed

  • @Mylostsurf I've watched everything this amazing prodigy has produced thus far, and the hand gestures - at the end , as well as during the song(s) that come later is apparently some kind of inner-exercise type thing; on Leno it's almost as if she looks at her own hand at the end as a way to "re-enter" her own after-song reality. Im not a "softie," but I've lost count of the amount of times this girl has brought me to tears and inspiration.

  • @obiwan1947 Very nice comment. Jackie rocks.

  • @obiwan1947 I think it's God playing a joke on us. He puts a beautiful angel inside a young girl's body and then sits back and laughs incessantly as we mere mortals try to figure out how this incredible young lady can sing like that. It's God's way of saying "Hey!! Here I am! See what I can do??? BELIEVE!!!"

  • @trah50  AMEN

  • super bien !!!!!!extraordinaire j'aime tout.

  • What is wrong with that lady in the green tacky dress?????? She's talking to Jackie like she's 2. Same as that idiot America's Got Talent host. I hate how this lady asks her why she started singing classical and then doesn't even let her answer, instead she interrupts Jackie. I think she should have just kept quit and let Jackie talk.

  • There is something about Jackie that will draw your soul to her music like no other can. It's amazing.

  • Unbelievable talent !! No words can describe the beauty of this child and her incredible performances ! !

  • Even before Jackie starts too sing at like 1>13 the look on her face, makes my eye`s water, sitting here and watching her expresstions, and that most beautiful voice, just put`s a calm on my soul, Jackie is like a unbelievable dream

  • I think it's funny (in a sweet sort of way) how people cry when they hear her sing. It's beautiful.

  • I've seen so many people saying Jackie Evancho is just a well trained lip syncher and I have to say I have not been able to prove them wrong...Until now. You can clearly tell here that it is her voice here, so all the haters and unbelievers can just take it.

  • @thesillysock It's pure jealousy.

    Everyone has that little voice inside that says "I want to be famous" and get upset when someone, other than themselves, finally does.

    It's just human nature. Unfortunately.

  • ein kleiner Engel glückwunsch Amerika genial gut für alle herzen.

  • Comment removed

  • Jackie has progressed so much in 2 years.Now she is about finished with her 3rd Album and she is about to have her first full concert in Houston.She is rising to Super Star status World Wide.Over 39000 fans on her Facebook and Classical Crossover she is nearing 20,000 votes

  • How would you like to have to follow that in the talent contest!?

    The look on everyone's faces was "Wow. I'm now playing for second."

  • Jackie is with IMG and will have concerts this summer in North and South America.Imagine her singing Evita in Argentina

  • At Mar-a-Largo everyone had cameras but could not  see to use them because their eyes were full of tears all they could say was O My God

  • The host obviously didn't know she can sing and was sort of talking down to her at the beginning. Jackie changed her tune, and gain her respect with her tearing up. Clips like these are wonderful to see as the underdog not only wins but hits it out of the park!

  • Jackie sang at Mar-a-Largo in Palm Beach last night ..does anyone have a video of her singing there..if soo pleasseee post it ... thank you in advance :)

  • She was not ready for this aria here. She is only 9 and singing arias with poor technique like that could ruin her voice in the future. She is very talented, but needs more training and time for her voice to develop and mature safely. I have no doubt that in the future she will be able to sing this and other arias beautifully!!!! I wish her all the best!!!

  • @stktrader11

    Just type in the search words "Evancho" and "Fantasia", and it is anywhere from the second to the tenth video down, because apparently lots of unrelated vids are now using "Evancho" as a key word to increase their traffic.

  • @tunanorth I did view that video. I am sorry for accusing you if you are not in cahoots with stktrader11- you have my sincere apologies. The reason that I assumed that is because he has been harassing via inappropriate and patronizing messages. He sent me a friend request and pretended to be interested in what I had to say in order to lure me away from this video because he didn't want me to clog up the system. I am very angry at the moment.

  • Comment removed

  • @tunanorth You may suggest videos any time you like. I also see that he referred to me as flower in a reply he sent you. I am very curious as to what he told you? He's a total creep. No wonder he didn't want to reply to me here in a public forum. His account would have been deleted had I reported him.
