Jackie is a living miracle. This performance is beyond stunning. Her voice is in perfect tune, she has beautiful musical interpretation, her voice is pure, and her diction is excellent...In Italian. I have heard this girl sing in Latin, French, Italian and English...Folks...She was 11 years old for this performance! There is no praise high enough for this angel!

Tens years later, the masterpiece song and singer still bring tears to my eyes. Bravo! :)

[@TheMusicguy68]

JACKIE EVANCHO! Jackie was about eleven (11) years old when she performed this song on PBS. It was brilliantly sung. However Jackie is now 14 years of age and her voice is even richer and more mature. I encourage everyone to search for Jackie's performance of "The Summer Knows," where you can see her as she is today. Even more brilliant and just as angelic!

[@cl9786]

When I see "GREAT PERFORMANCES" and think that this concert is performed by an 11 year old child, I am choked up at what a phenomenal achievement that is. What's more, it's the first of 3 concerts she had performed for PBS within a 4 year period. Whatever criticisms her detractors use to discredit her, it cannot be denied that Jackie's history as a classical crossover artist is unprecedented and speaks to her prodigious talent. At age 19 now, Jackie is the most versatile young soprano artist today, with 8 consecutive albums to hit #1 on the Classical chart, and still exploring her potential.

I don't have cable, so I never saw any of those America's Got Talent shows or anything, and had never heard of Jackie before. One night I was doing the dishes in the kitchen and had PBS on in the living room, just for background noise. This concert came on, and I was impressed by the way this soprano was interpreting these songs. It was three songs in before I even realized it was a young girl, not a full grown adult. Her voice is just going to get stronger and stronger as she grows.

What followed was Jackie Evancho performing the most incredibly beautiful and flawless vocal concert I had ever seen and heard, and the only one in my 77 years that actually moved me to tears.

To those who say her voice is not good enough for opera, if her voice makes you feel anything, then she is a gift. Not all singers can move people’s feelings in that way! Your opinion may be valid on technique and whatever, but don’t trash her.

[@cl9786]

Jackie has brought audiences to their feet in tears singing opera, because they have no expectations of her to measure up to the demands of operatic technique. Placido Domingo and other opera singers have performed/recorded contemporary love songs with no demands upon them to sing with other than their operatic voices. An aria sung outside the opera house as a concert piece may be performed by any artist in his/her particular vocal style. Jackie is a phenomenon (prodigy) who has never had an intention to appeal to the internet critics who's classical sensibilities seem threatened. David Foster said in the "The Making of Dream With Me" that she would "get flack for recording Nessun Dorma, but those people won't buy the album anyway". Let them complain. Their criticisms are irrelevant, unless they can't stifle the compulsion to be rude and disrespectful of Jackie, as many have been in the past.

[@l.w.paradis2108]

@Írien Lindallë Yes, Jackie has never claimed to be an opera singer because if she did she would laughed off the stage. Her voice is nowhere near good enough for opera. She has a huge net worth because she was marketed as a gift to the earth from the throne of God. And people bought the hype. So now she is wealthy and never has to work a day in her life every again unless she chooses to.

[@ardalla535]

@@richardconnelly7141 Technically, Amira's voice is leagues ahead of Jackie's. Jackie does not hit high notes because she can't; her voice would break if she tried. I thought, years ago, that she was holding back to protect her vocal chords because she was so young. Turns out, that was true at the time, but now it's obvious she just doesn't have the range. And her vibrato technique remains abysmal as it always has been. Jackie's strength has never been her range; her lows are not that low and her highs are not that high. Her strength is the purity of her voice. But even that, as good as it is, is not the best. Hayley Westenra is known for purity of her vocals. Jackie is up there, but not at the top by any means.

She received voice coaching from Yvie Burnett while on AGT as required, but later she and her parents rejected voice training, concerned that it would destroy her unique soprano tone and the qualities that made her special. Her mother coached her through her childhood years and made sure she saw a specialist periodically to ensure her vocal chords were protected. She began seeing renown voice coach, Joan Lader, in New York to help develop the "pop side of my voice", she said, having discovered it while recording the latest album, The Debut, and to make sure her voice remains healthy.
