Jackie Evancho The Today show Dec 24 in HD singing O Holy Night

[stephonjohnson0]

she sounds grown

[davekanak]

Divine!

[Jesusfreak12300]

she sounds soooo beautiful like an angel she is truley got talent! she should have won

[Nightmusic40]

What an angel! She is the most beautiful thing. I really want to marry her some day. We both LOVE and are inspired by Phantom of the Opera,,,so why not? :) She really is the most beautiful thing, inside and out. I suppose I can at least dream about it.... :(

[bmwismyluved]

Angel, this is angel!!!

[Jessie11200]

wow she's amazing singer i wish that i was that good thats why i liked her song

[ghuez001]

classic music and religiosus music are the best of Jackie....continues like this....eternal Jackie!

[gmfrk197]

Sha has an amazing voice for her age, her tone and timbre are fantastic, I just would you think if she was getting lessons the teacher would tell her not to move her arms so freaking much haha. Its distracting and is not good for your sound to move her arms and head so much. BUT, for her age and level of training she is an amazingly talented girl. I look forward to seeing her in 10 years... I can't imagine....

[HotRodder2100]

@gmfrk197 Jackie has stated that she moves her arms to be in concert with the music, and it helps her to portray the emotion in a song, which she does beautifully. Most people find her arm movements beautiful, and I don't think it affects her sound at all.

[CrissyAngel82]

OUTSTANDING

[regie1844]

Every time she sings I feel like an angel from heaven is appearing visiblly and singing for us.

[theConnieAurora]

i love her hair :D

[whiteboy7931]

Actually, I saw a special on TV about her ability to sing like she does, and her vocal chords are just the same as you or me. It is her brain that has decided to control her vocal chords and that is how she is able to sing like she does. And that goes for any singer. We are all capable of singing just like her, it's our brains that need to be taught.

[HotRodder2100]

@whiteboy7931 I don't think that most people's brains function like Jackie's, nor can they be taught to function that way. Its been stated that she is a musical genius, and has been gifted with a talent that is mostly genetic in nature.

[eradutiu]

Has anyone here heard of Hollie Steele? I just heard her and she is good but in my opinion Jackie has her beat. Jackie has more power in her voice and holds the notes stronger. Anyone disagree?

[Bittersweet21222]

@eradutiu I do. I know jackie "sounds better," but there is something special about Hollie

[Luck613]

its kind of funny and odd how she sings all the good notes or whatever you want to call them and she's, umm, 10? while the backup singers behind her only sing the ahhhh parts and they're like what 30, 40?

[fiftynlonely]

Brought tears to my eyes, I need to buy that CD.

[TerriAnneNorth]

She is a compilation of all the blessed old souls before our time!!! There is no other explanation for her ability to emote the lifetime of references of joy, pain, sorrow, want, love, need, etc. They have all returned in a little earth angel now called Jackie Evancho. I will tell everyone I know about her!!!!

[xMZasianx]

amazing. seriously, what a heavenly voice and she is so young!

[joseshar]

This girl has talent that comes from within. The way she gestures in concert and the way her face conveys the emotion is something she couldn't completely have gained from her time in life. That comes from her heart, and she is clearly blessed with an incredible gift.

She is simply amazing. Praise God for the blessings He bestows!

[weltec2]

She really has improved her body movement, her gestures, everything. Wonderful performance... absolutely wonderful.

[FlierFrank172]

Jackie responds to the excitement of a large audience when she sings and she begins to light up and glow from within and you can see her putting everything she has into the performance. If you haven't seen it yet, be sure and view her rendition of "Nessun Dorma" at the "Britain's Got Talent" show. It's one of the most powerful performances I've seen from her. Be prepared for another case of goose bumps and emotion when you do. Absolutely astonishing.

[dieseldog00]

@FlierFrank172 I've seen a lot of Nessun Dormas. The only one that comes close to Jackie's on BGT is Sarah Brightman's preformance in Las Vegas on her Harem tour.

[acidruid]

her voice quality hasn't changed at all. in fact it has seems to have gotten better but agreeably she does do better in front of an audience. the absence of people does change once perspective as they sing. a very good performance still.

[Basoflakes]

Well, I've heard her on Piers today singing "Angel" and have heard her sing several other songs.  I think she is good, but there is too much fanfare for her at this point in her career.

[HotRodder2100]

@Basoflakes Why do you say that there is "too much fanfare for her at this point in her career"?  People recognize her talent for what it is - she is without question one of the most talented prodigies in history, so how could you say that it is "too much"?

[jonathansargent8787]

simply amazing child, thats a god givin gift

[PaintbrushBristles]

I like how she sings with her hands =]

[manibean15]

So amazing!!I cried!!

[Dana87]

she's an angel. she's the most adorable thing - I was actually shocked to hear that she was a lady gaga fan! NOT a good influence for such a young girl.

[holywells]

@Dana87 Not to worry....it's a common thing for kids of this age to have an interest in other singers and their styles. After Bianca Ryan won the first AGT contest at 11 years old, she stated that she wanted to perform some songs on stage with certain "rap" artists. Fortunately for her though, she never did.

[dieseldog00]

@Dana87 Why? Because LGG is different? She's a hard worker, honest, is passionate about the environment and makes her views known in public. Jackie has those qualities too and she responds to them in other artists. I like LGG for the same reasons. Maybe you should get to know LGG better.

[Blessings2UForever]

She should join Celtic Women when she grows up if she wants to :)

[littlejackrussell]

@Blessings2UForever Don't you mean. Celtic Women could join Jackie if she wanted?

[Blessings2UForever]

@littlejackrussell No, I don't, but I get it. Except she can grow up to be their age, but not the other way around.

[littlejackrussell]

@Blessings2UForever I ment to put LOL at end I gave you a thumbs up. you are right.

[JetBlackRain]

she's adorable!

[immaspendmonay]

in that dress she reminds me of Cinderella! when she does her hand movements its like he is singing to the birds and stuff! cute!

[hermounts]

I s it just me, or does she remind you of Kiernan Shipka iof Mad Men?

[musicp8r]

The tone of here voice is So clear and pure

[cocokitty55]

i wouldnt be surprised if she broke a window or two, plus some glass cups, as well as a few pairs of glasses...

[kanukster]

Devine, in deed!

[EmilyBearfan]

She's so good! I love her dress, too!

[shiningstars1997]

@dbcowboy99 wizards of waverly place ended didnt it?

[DerfElcnu]

I wish JACKIE would make another CD for Christmas 2011.

I'd like to hear her sing "The First Noel"

Go to her 'decorating the tree' video and make your request.

[dieseldog00]

@DerfElcnu Her mother has already said that will not happen. You'll have to be satisfied with the one she put out last year.

[dieseldog00]

@DerfElcnu I was wrong and you were right. 'Heavenly Christmas' came out yesterday. The First Noel is on the album so you will be pleased. :)

[stktrader11]

Use YouTube search words: "Evancho wish star".

to see Jackie's new Video.. it's stunning.. !!!

Thank you to tunanorth for the heads up.. :)

[MurryFolt]

I'm watching this awhile before I go to bed, and I'm telling you, I will have one devine night! It is always great to fall asleep to Jackies songs.

[coronet72]

Lovely performance. Just pure joy listening to her sing. Thanks for posting.

[lilsaprano123]

Well done Jackie beautifully sang. This is my daughter she is 12 singing O Holy Night Christmas 2010. Merry Christmas everyone.

[rsaba206]

Some of you guy's crack me up! Your talking about a ten year old child who sings better than most adult performers, so what's to criticize? The trouble is, your so used to her being absolutley perfect that one little flaw is exaggerated. So I suggest you wait until she is an adult performer, and then criticize all you want.

[MurryFolt]

@rsaba206 We should all vote your comment up, I agree with it so much. Your's has got to become highest rated so others can read it. You've got a great point. We all know, even though it can be hard to believe, that Jackie really is human (even though many of us, including myself, believe otherwise). She makes mistakes to. But chances are, she's better at singing than any of us are at anything, so give her a break. And she's only 10.

[milewalker1]

@rsaba206 Child or not, she has made the decision to be a *professional* performer - which exposes her to the criticism of the market. What we spend our money on is the most critical determination anyone will ever make of any singer.

Having said this, yes, I believe that this was the first performance of OHN she did during the promotional slog for her album - and was also done without an audience

[bparno]

@milewalker1 She sang this on the tonight show with Jay Leno, it was amazing, as usual.

[Annasophiathebest]

Jackie is the best singer for sure we love her singing keep up the good work we love ya Jackie!!!

[MurryFolt]

@Annasophiathebest I agree. And I like the account name ;)

[stktrader11]

@brainbleacher You have to remember that she could have been tired..after all she is going here, there and everywhere all the time.. plus she likes live audiences and I would guess sometimes it has to be hard to sing the same song over and over with the same fervor all the time.. and let's not ever forget.. She is 10 years old.. I dont even remember what I was doing when I was 10 years old !! Probably getting into trouble somewhere :)

[5275275275275]

@stktrader11 Hmmmm! yeah stunning is good, ha! anyway, can you or Kap, or anyone!!! think of, anyone! that uses there *arms and hands* so unbelievable gorgeous perfect with there voice? Jackie flows like an angel

[cureloms]

She's amazing!!!!

[stktrader11]

STUNNING STUNNING !!! STUUUNNNINNGG!!

[5275275275275]

beautiful!!! beautiful!! !beautiful!!! what ele`s can anyone say, her voice is like no other, and her arm~hand movement is fantastic, This makes at least 10 major Tv perfect performance, NOT counting Agt show, at 10 years old, never been anyone like her!!!

[stktrader11]

@5275275275275 and she uses both arms and hands equally.. most singers will use one hand right or left depending which they are.. You really have to have some kind of talent to sing such hard songs so beautifully and still have your body physically respond to the song at the same time in the way Jackie does.. and again let's not forget she is ONLY 10!! even though it's very easy to forget and think she is much older because of her so mature voice..

[5275275275275]

@stktrader11 your right, i did`t even think of that one, Jackie does use both arms and hands, equally, everyday we learn something new about angel girl

[bighforu]

@brainbleacher And stop reading Facebook. Nearly half the people over there think they are her parents and are constantly making idiotic statements about Jackie's career and and her talent.

Many have been booted and I expect many more will end up that way too.

[bighforu]

@brainbleacher

Bullcrap!

The poster and you are both have no idea what you are talking about. Her 'enunciation' is fine. And to improve on it is NOT a impediment but a boost to her overall performance.

I just love 'arm chair' critics.. Where are your Platinum CD's?

[countrycajunfan1959]

This causes tears to fall; so beautiful! Now I truly feel I heard an angel from Heaven sing! What a git God has given to this young lady! She may only be a little girl, but she sings with such passion and emotion! Outstanding!

[bdeng2007]

Come on, guys. She was not singing to a large audience, or perhaps she was singing to no audience at all. She thrives on audience feedbacks and there seemed to be none. There was no typical Jackie's smile or giggles, and so she appeared to be a little too tight. If indeed she was singing only to a few staff members who were so used to Jackie to appear indifferent, she did great. I can imagin it is hard to sing to an empty room with emotion and still having fun at the same time.

[MurryFolt]

@bdeng2007 That theory makes perfect sense. Afterall, what did she say her favorite part of performing was? Hearing the crowd!

[sprites76]

@bdeng2007

who cares?

[musicnaturelover1]

@brainbleacher It's good that she keeps singing these songs over and over because if you think about it there's only a few thousands that has viewed her holiday songs. There's over 300,000,000 population in the U.S. alone so there's plenty more people that need to hear these songs even if only 10% of that could hear and see her sing these songs is good.

[KaptKan1]

The kid CONTINUES to develop her style -- look at the elabourate hand/arm gestures -- in parallel with her singing technique! I am continually amazed at the consummate showmanship shown by this child. Even more than the voice, the professionalism and showbiz savvy of Jackie Evancho are prodigal.

FANTABULOSO!

[STEPHIEGRL316]

@KaptKan1 that is very true :)

[soli5755]

FANTASTIC...JACKIE!...10 years old! ... it's unbelievable! Thank you for these wonderful performances ...

[MrRopheil]

1 word; ANGEL

[mannonmission1]

it's beautiful Jackie... everytime you sing it is beautiful... you are the BEST!

[Sealust50]

Leave the ANGEL alone!!!!

[QQTrick1QQ]

I think she is just burnt out on the same songs as well as the instant insane schedule. Just think of being tossed into that at that age. Major productions, so many people relying on you to perform at your best no matter how you feel.

She is remarkable. No one can be %100, %100 of the time. seems like a tight time slot also.

[RussianHotGirls]

@QQTrick1QQ you're right. she's singing the same song too many so getting tired of it . i want her to sing a different song ex) Panis Angelicus. this song is on her cd. it sounds very beautiful.

[SiobhansNo1Fans]

@RussianHotGirls No she is wrong, just in case you don`t know what time of year it is, Hmmmmmmmmm! it`s X~mass,,, and so the SHOW`s like jay leno, and lighting of the X~mass tree, and this show, they ALLLLLL want Jackie to sing, X~mass songs!!! im sure, that Jackie herself, would love too sing something eles, anyway this should be the end of it, X~mass songs. unless she`s on tomorrow somewere!!!

[MurryFolt]

@SiobhansNo1Fans I'm to lazy to read the rest of the conversation you two are having, but @SiobhansNo1Fans has a point. This is the Christmas season, so people want Christmas songs. And who better to sing them than the worlds newly found angel?

If you want proof that she's an angel, pause anywhere between 2:02 and 2:12. That shot turned out perfect.

[JackieFan123]

@MurryFolt agreed, between 2:02 and 2:12 the Star of God shines on his angel, almost making a halo around her. I liked this performance, not as great as some others of the same song, probably because she's singing to nobody, there is no audience. Jackie's greatest performances are when her nerves generate that adrenaline that rocket her to incredible renditions.

[prometheus0814]

@JackieFan123 She sang several times in one day and on multiple days on QVC with no audience either. The lack of audience does not seem to be the issue since the QVC ones were extraordinary.

[MurryFolt]

@prometheus0814 On the QVC shows I believe there was still a studio audience. That means pretty much staff and her family, but that's still an audience.

[MurryFolt]

@QQTrick1QQ You have a good point as well. She's probably burnt out on those same two songs. Schedules and all that aside, how often do you want to sing the same two songs for a month?

[milewalker1]

@MurryFolt No reason she should be particularly burned out when she sang this. It was almost certainly done the same day as her Today show appearance when she sang Pie Jesu. The hair is identical, the backup singers are not only the same group, but standing in the same place and order. The only thing different is the dress and lighting.

[MurryFolt]

@milewalker1 Hmm.... never realised that. Now I'm going to *have* to go back and rewatch both. How sad :)

[milewalker1]

@MurryFolt I know. What sacrifices we Jackie fans must make ;)

[MurryFolt]

@milewalker1 So true. So true.

It's worth the sacrifice!

[bdeng2007]

@milewalker1 I believe you are absolutely right. That means this performance preceeded all the latest runs up to Christmas. So it is safe to say that this was only a practice run, or perhaps the first trial run, of the same song that was performed for the President, for example. Jackie, you are unbelievable! You ALWAYS get BETTER! Your perfection curve is always up, not down so far as some of us thought incorrectly.

[stktrader11]

@QQTrick1QQ @TheHankamer I agree with you.. I probably would be burnt out to singing the same songs in such a short time .. but in a few days.. Those Christmas song wont be sung again till next year and we will just patiently wait for new vids from upcoming appearances The one I know of is Feb 18th in Houston with the Houston Chamber Chorus and one of her biggest fan will be there and he promissed to take tons of pictures and videos and share them with us :)

[MurryFolt]

@stktrader11 Hopefully I'll be there as well. I might be able to push it since it's so close to my birthday...

[stktrader11]

@MurryFolt ok Buddy all the fans will depend on you and The Hanhamer to bring back lots of pictures and videos to us fans who cannot make it there.. It will keep us going till she releases her new album.. wow that's going to be a long wait..

[MurryFolt]

@stktrader11 If I make it, I'll make sure to take what videos and pictures I can for the other fans. What would be real nice would be if I could ask her to say a few words for her youtube fans and record it! I doubt I'd be able to do that, but you never know...

[DFWTexan42]

Beautiful performance. :D

[RussianHotGirls]

she seems to be losing her natural emotion a little maybe because of an improving techniques

so this sounds just bland, cheesy just like the stereotype of singing

i'm not a hater.

i almost checked her songs on youtube.

she's amazing. but this virsion is not that good for me.

[MurryFolt]

@RussianHotGirls That may only be because she has song this time more times than I can even figure out in the last month. She's probably sung it more times than gallons of milk I've drinken and eggs I've eaten...

[RussianHotGirls]

i don't like this version. esp the second high note sounds forced so the vibrato sounds unnatural.

i want her to sing the second higth note straight up not forced, unnatural vibrato.

that makes this song more dramatic, moving, touching.

she sang this song way better so natural before even one year ago.

look at this clip

/watch?v=aHPHnlYi3V0

[mjg415]

@RussianHotGirls All righty then! Do we have any performances of you on here when you were ten? Just curious.

[RussianHotGirls]

@mjg415 of course. i don't have any my own videos cuz i'm poor at singing. it's just my opinion. don't get me worng. i bought her cd 2copies. i'm interested in her and stuck in her a lilttle. cuz she has a so beautiful voice and amazingly natural emotion power and very unique style. so i check her new videos on youtube almost everyday. but lately the more she sings the more unnatural she sounds. she seems to be forced to some formal way to sing by her singing coach.

[crr1950]

@RussianHotGirls Well actually her singing coach only serves to protect her voice. For technique, she's going to wait a few years for the type of coaching you're talking about .. Her learning has been all on her own, at her own pace... not forced. So you're not correct on that point.

[bdeng2007]

WOW! Fantabuloso!
