Haha, I just got her new CD with songs from the silver screen, for Christmas.
Also noted, she just finished a film in which she plays Robert Redford's daughter, called The Company you Keep.
Here are a few songs from her newest CD.

Sorry if I've posted this before, but I was at my brothers house last night for x-mas eve.
Sitting on the kitchen counter, were 3 unopened slinky boxes. A bit perturbed that such a delightful set of toys were not being played with by my 5 year old grand nephew, and his twin 2 year old sisters, I grabbed one of the boxes, and presented it to the young lad.
He was unable to open the box(? a child not knowing how to open a box ?), so I offered my experience, and showed him that the ends were merely glued shut, and you simply had to "peel it open, like a banana".
And out pops his first experience with a slinky. A miniature version mind you, but a slinky none the less. He played with it for a bit, which attracted the attention of the twins, and before you knew it, slinkys were everywhere.
After about an hour of them not knowing what more to do with a slinky, I displayed for the entire household the following experiment.
Of course, I don't have an Aussie accent, and therefore could not properly explain the phenomena, but did encourage the class to try and figure out what was going on.
The end.

Heh, not really. I didn't know anything about the movie until I saw the QVC diddy! Wow! Getting a role with Robert Redford is no small accomplishment. It will be interesting to see if she's any good. Given Redford's history I would think she must be good... that or her camera time is very brief!

Yes really. Hugging qualifies you for the title.
Back when she was a youngster of 12 years, her interviews reveal her self-confidence. That and her being able to persevere, not to mention that she's "all grown up
" now, she should do very well.

Pssssssst, she is still twelve.
To perseverance and self confidence, I would add "heart".

Here is her entire performance of My Heart Will Go On [The theme song from Titanic], I think from her unprecedented second appearance on PBS's Great Performances [haven't seen it yet].

Oh my, I had to post one more that I hadn't seen before. I think this performance from a wedding is her best of one of my favorites songs - Imaginer. Absolutely beautiful! And with the first hints of the beautiful young woman she will soon be. She is starting to lose the baby face.
Interestingly, at the 3:18 mark she goes low instead of high, which made me wonder if she's losing some of her high range. But she does hit the high notes later...

Didn't these guys used to play with Jackie Evancho down on Bourbon St for spare change?

This should be required viewing for electrical engineering students because he finds every imaginable way to shock himself.
I love the part where he knows that he charged up the ungrounded board 25KV and touches it anyway.

Why the great prophet, NOmstrodamus, did not see this coming, baffles me.

Not at $500 a seat! Just a huge fan and fascinated with her growth and progression. I think she is an extremely rare, once-in-a-lifetime talent and I AM completely hooked. But there are folks worse than me. When I attended the concert last March, I met retired folks who either were or knew what I call Jackie heads; you know, like Dead heads. They follow Jackie on her tours while paying typically up to $500 per seat, per performance, with the most extreme example being one old guy who paid $3000 to see her perform three songs, in Vegas. I met one couple who were both over 70 years old, who drove 16 hours one-way, just to see Jackie perform.
However, I did meet her before the concert. The moment she realized that I was there because of how much her music means to me and that it wasn't just a celebrity thing, we were buds.

How do you think I got the meet and greet ticket?
I've never felt so silly in my life - a 50+ year old man joining a fan club for an eleven year old girl!
I had never even joined a fan club before. The only consolation is that her following is mostly made up of people my age and older, and young girls. There were a lot of grandparents with their grandaughters at the concert. Now I understand why people join fan clubs. I had one of the best seats in the house [orchastra pit center] and got to meet her. It was almost like having my own private concert.
