In response to the answer you sent me, I( will only respond with, you appear to be a "know it all" twit.

@MrKwahwerd It never ceases to amaze and astound the dire need for someone who knows absolutely nothing about the subject matter being discussed to add their strong emotions and beliefs to the conversation like they are a matter of significant fact. I'm happy that you have a vivid imagination MrKwahwerd. Unfortunately for Jackie, people like yourself who live in a fantasy world about the rich and famous will be the reason for Jackie ruining her voice. Better to know it all than to know nothing.

Amazing. Great interview too.
-
@Baritoneewart I believe that Jackie will last as long as she wants to last and know it all trolls like yourself cannot change that. In any case she has set herself up for life as she is already a multi-millionaire, made so by her incredible talent.
-
@musicman53 Agreed. Just the fact that she as an 8 year old had an emotional and musical connection with "Phantom Of The Opera" shows that she had an exceptional appreciation for adult subjects and art.
-
She is amazing. It is also amazing that she auditioned TWICE for AGT, and was rejected. Either they have no concept of talent, or that show doesn't REALLY want the best. Glad You Tube was able to get her on.

@Baritoneewart I see charms in both Genres, but many, like yourself don't. Natalie Dessay is my favorite opera singer. I had a business trip scheduled to go to Avignon, France, that I co-ordinated with Dessay's performance as Olympia, performing "The Doll Song" at The Chorégies d'Orange festival, in 2000. It rained all the way there, but not a drop on the Festival. Lots of wind, but no rain. At 37 Natalie made you believe she was a little girl. Fabulous performance.

@Baritone. Seriously, you would be welcome, either place. They have some very intelligent people over there, that don't mind speaking out, when the need arises. They're a good bunch of folks, from all over the world, and pretty much a community, and some access to the Evancho's themsleves.
BTW, I apologize for being so childish. I had a really bad day, and should have stayed off-line. Early in the day I discovered that one of my best friends was murdered in a home invasion/Burglary. Ugly!

@Baritoneewart I'm sorry if you feel offended in any way, but until I see this little girl grow into a well adjusted young woman who can still sing just as well as she could at 8 supposedly, with no consequences for doing things that experts say she shouldn't do... I'm not sold. Until I see her do it, I will continue to condemn it. As a teacher myself, I have a moral obligation to do so.
At last, a sensible explanation for her astonishing talent - her brain!
Jackie is an intellectual and emotional genius with astonishing control of her 11 year old voice and lungs, astonishing interpretive ability of world class music, astonishing ability to empathise with her audiences, fellow musicians and people in general, astonishing self discipline to rehearse and practice, and astonishing self control and focus to produce world class performances every time, no matter the occasion.

@holywells ...any vocal quality. So far, she has had very competent sound people who have used the proper types of microphones with the correct setting for the gain. The notes seem to flow easily from her voice as she almost "becomes the song" that she is singing. In my many years working in the sound and recording industry I have seen very few singers that have the control that she possesses. As she moves her arms during the piece she is performing, she seems to be almost "conducting" herself.
