Jackie Evancho - I was aware of this girl but only recently had a chance to watch a number of her videos. INCREDIBLE! The first video brought tears to my eyes the first three times I watched it.

Her talent came to light when she went to see the play, Phantom of the Opera - my personal favorite - and fell in love with the music, as did I.
Here she sings All I ask of You, from Phantom, and gives an absolutely stunning performance.

Turns out I couldn't get through a number of others. This normally doesn't happen to me. I have never been so completely floored by any artist before. I am simply overwhelmed by her talent and spirit, and that heavenly, miraculous, impossible voice. And this so obviously comes right from the heart... you can see that. She is such a treat to not only hear, but also to watch. It is all so completely natural for her. They should sell DVDs of Jackie, not CDs. Watching the music flow out of her is half the treat.
Oh my...

Can you imagine; at age 11 she has already performed duets with Streisand and Brightman. And, imo, not only held her own, but perhaps outperformed both!

Here is another great peformance

It is a logical discontinuity. Where you feel thrown, I start tearing; because of that I think, and because she may have the closest thing to a perfect voice that I have ever heard. Just listen to the last few seconds of Lovers - perfection!

A hauntingly beautiful rendition of Dark Waltz, from Phantom.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YzFC585S3E
Just by observation, it appears that the pianist, David Foster, may be acting as her mentor. At the least, they seem to be joined at the hip. I get a kick out of watching Foster watch her. You can see this subtle grin emerge on his face when she nails something tough.

Obviously, that cat flunked out of mongoose school.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdg9gkmWsEA
How about a squirrel? Will it fair any better than a cat?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkhO9VwTufE
(And, by the way, I think that's a bull snake; not a rattlesnake. They look similar except for their tails.)

Not sure I like that tbh, seems a bit cruel towards both animals. Who "won" though?

That video clearly takes place in the wild, the first one makes no indication as to what setting it takes place in. My guess was that the cat was a domesticated animal though.

Did you know about her? In spite of the popularity she has gained over the last year, no one I've spoken with or emailed had ever heard of her.
I sent some of these videos to my aunt. She wrote back about an hour later saying she was brought to tears by All i Ask of You.
At least it isn't just Dlgoff and me.[correction, one person did know of her and was buying her new CD for his wife]
I told Tsu not to bother with the CD. I want my own little Jackie Evancho for Christmas.

Now now. She puts a lot of people in cute overload. One interviewer picked Jackie up like a bag of potatoes and said she was taking her home.
Her dad correctly stated the biggest challenge that they face - keeping Jackie, Jackie. She is a terribly sweet little girl but the pressures on her are no doubt just as phenomenal as her singing. What must it be like for a ten year old girl to become a princess, overnight? But even according to her family, no one pushes her harder than she does herself. Her brother was complaining that she refuses to stop singing [practicing] - EVER!

Oh yes, she wrote the title song for her CD. Foster said he asked her for some lyrics for new songs. She has written fifty lyrics in two months.

As Rabo Karabekian once asked, "What kind of a man would turn his daughter into an outboard motor?" (Breakfast of Champions, Kurt Vonnegut)
To be honest, this reminds me of the winners of child beauty pageants. That's irrational, because it's really no different than any child actors in movies, but children acting like children in movies just doesn't seem quite as incongruous.

In my view, what's makes this situation different is that we have a true prodigy here. You couldn't stop the music from coming out of her if you tried. It would be like trying to stop a river from flowing. You can only dam it up so long. And with a voice like that she is destined for greatness.

Anyways...
Someone told me the following is funny. I don't know. I can't hear a thing.
