--------------------------------------
Song background: What opera is ‘Nessun dorma’ from?
‘Nessun dorma’ is first heard in Act III of Puccini’s 1924 opera, Turandot.
The acclaimed tenor aria is performed by the opera’s protagonist, Calaf, who falls in love with Princess Turandot at first sight.
Before the aria, Calaf has successfully answered all three of the Princess’ riddles - her peculiar prerequisite for suitors wishing to marry her - but she is still rebuking his advances.
The libretto to ‘Nessun dorma’ tells of how Calaf is sure in his plans to marry the princess as he has challenged her to find out his name by morning; if she cannot learn his name by the time the sun rises, she has to marry him.

The best voice im a fan of her till now

[@1967deek]

The best child singer on the planet

[@jordannash1998]

In my opinion, she has a truly beautiful voice and most techniques for showcasing it. Truly one of the greats. Right now, she is in her early mid 20's and experimenting, performing her own work in her own way. I would not be surprised if she tries even more genres in the future.

I always enjoy watching the reaction of people seeing Jackie for the first time. Millions of people saw Jackie for the first time when she performed on America's Got Talent in in 2010. She was 10 years old then. This performance is from Jackie's First PBS Great Performances Special that was filmed just FOUR days after her 11TH Birthday. Each and Every one of the Performances were Outstanding. Hit Man David Foster was the Producer for this PBS Special. If you love Beautiful music performed Beautifully you will love EVERY performance of this PBS SPECIAL. A must see is Jackie's duet with Barbra Streisand of Barbra's Mega Hit, "Somewhere". Another Fact of Interest, Jackie was still 10 Years old when she took away Michael Jackson's title as "The Youngest Solo Vocalist TO GO Platinum" ! You might be interested in reacting to duets Jackie has done. Jackie has done duets with many Top notch Vocal Artist, at amazing events and locations. There is a video of Jackie and Andrea Bocelli performing a duet in Bocelli HOME in Italy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nma8pIB9mcSpo7c

Tried to find a way to contact you and I failed so I thought I would try here. You have reacted to Jackie for the second time I see. After the video concluded you invite people to subscribe and leave a comment. I don't know if you are aware of the problem with the comment section but you have "blocked any comment" to be posted. Maybe you are unaware of this and accidently check marked the wrong box!

Thanks for the info. I didn't know they were off and do not know how it got that way. I never turn off comments. (BTW I have reacted to 4 of her songs to date)
