After playing this DVD at a nursing home the activities director approached me with a stunned look on her face and said "There are people here who have not responded to a single thing all day and now they are applauding!!!"

[@rehoboth2721]

Hey thats a nice story. I heard some similiar things when Jackie's music was played from others to include unusual responses from people, plants and animals thru the years.

That is so amazing. She has that effect on people

I got to see Jackie in concert in Dallas and it was incredible. When she did this song (my favorite) I cried like a baby. Such a beautiful voice and spirit.

[@OldBoiler62]

This was filmed at the Ringling Brothers Museum for her first PBS concert. She was 11 at the time. She's 23 now and has branched out from classical to pop and country. She's also the youngest solo artist to go platinum with her first album.

[@satinbarbi]

Her voice is still incredible. She will always be my favorite singer.

[@jordannash1998]

The youngest solo artist to go platinum PERIOD. Beat out Michael Jackson, the previous holder of the record. Last I heard, all nine CDs hit #1 on Billboard Classical Crossover, and I think her Joanie Mitchell CD hit #1 in its category as well.

[@monkeysquashface]

​@cl9786 Yeah!! It was a giant conspiracy. A massive fake concert planned and executed by David Foster to fool the world !!! 😮😮 😂. And that isn't really little Jackie Evancho. That little girl is actually an android made to look and sound just like Jackie Evancho. THAT'S how she can sound so perfect. The cost of making the very life-like android is actually why the concert cost a million dollars to produce! The orchestra, the audience, the back drop, all fake. This is really just a studio recording synced to a robot making Jackie's gestures of singing, filmed in David Foster's back yard. We have been hoodwinked! 😉😆🤣😅. Sorry, just having fun with that idea. Lol.

EPIC is the right word, a truly epic presentation no matter who was the singer. That it was a 10-11 year old makes this epic squared. Full orchestra, special oriental instruments, and NO ONE is "stepping on" her notes in an attempt to cover for her. Her voice is what we will all remember!

[@gebendeavors907]

---- Lovers was the title song of the great Chinese movie House Of Flying Daggers, a 2004 wuxia romance film (you really should make an effort to see it as it is fantastic). The film reportedly received a 20-minute standing ovation at its Cannes Film Festival premiere. The film received a well deserved nomination for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Kathleen Battle sung Lovers as the last song on the soundtrack album ---- Jackie is now 23-years old. In 2010, as a 10-year old, Jackie came to fame when she came in second on America's Got Talent. She is the youngest solo artist to ever go Platinum on an album at 10-years old and the youngest to ever debut in the top 10 in the Billboard 200 peaking at #2. At 11-years old, she was the youngest solo singer to ever have a concert at Lincoln Center. Jackie had 9 consecutive albums peak at #1 on Billboard Classical Charts meaning that only Taylor Swift and Jay-Z have had more consecutive Billboard #1 albums. In addition to 10 albums, Jackie has 3 live albums, 18 music videos, and 35 singles. Jackie's first, of three she did, solo PBS concert specials, was in 2011, Dream With Me In Concert and what Lovers was sung in, was the most broadcast program of the year for PBS and raised record amounts of money for PBS stations. When 11-years old, Jackie was chosen by Robert Redford to play his daughter in his film The Company You Keep. Jackie was Kity on season 3 of The Masked Singer. She has been on way too many to note TV shows. A tiny sampling of the videos of Jackie's performances include: -- Dark Waltz (as a 10-year old. Sung on her Dream With Me In Concert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn3bqHSFaMl3itk) -- Bridge Over Troubled Water (as a 12-year old. Sung as guest performer for the Cirque du Soleil special charity show One Night For One Drop in Las Vegas. This was the first time that all seven Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas were cancelled so the 1,700 employees could collaboratively participate in the show that had over 230 Cirque du Soleil artists and guest performers. This show was at the O Theater in the Bellagio and was streamed online worldwide. Millions of dollars were raised in honor of World Water Day: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJvRc4OqabFglbc) -- Think of Me (as a 14-year old. Sung in her music video for the song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5-npHt8q6-Dp6M) -- Writing's On The Wall (as a 15-year old. Sam Smith cover of the James Bond Spectre movie song. This video done as a mini-movie with Jackie's older sister Juliette playing the villain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHPNpHeepreAhaM) -- Apocalypse (as a 15-year old. Original song written for Jackie.

Sung on the PBS Special of Fernando Varela. Sung in Italian. The song simply tells about the pain and longings of a man who is about to die while he is looking into the eyes of a girl who was very dear to him. The lyrics contain various subtle references to people and places in Caruso's life: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6PLmp2Qesx2o9k) -- Burn (as a 18-year old. Cover of song from the musical Hamilton. A sophisticated music video as a mini-movie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnXVfmtjdr18ack) -- Dangerous Woman (as a 19-year old. Cutdown version of Ariana Grande's song. This is Jackie's first performance on The Masked Singer as Kitty. Completely different singing style than she has been known for: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZWVXpaYhrKGkJo) -- Dreams (as a 19-year old. Cover of Bazzi song. Sung in makeshift home setup. Just Jackie and a pianist. This is done in a jazzy style that is very different than the original: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3zJmZasl7CWptE) -- River (as a 20-year old. Joni Mitchell cover.

Hi Mike & Ginger, Loved, Loved, Loved Your amazing Reaction to Jackie Evancho, and my song request. I'm so glad Mike is doing a little better, God Bless him on his recovery. I enjoy your channel very much, and your Analysis and reactions to the Artist's, and music you both cover on your channel. Here's some info on Jackie, the amazing Child Prodigy/ Bio: Jackie Evancho was born on April 9, 2000, she is 23 now in 2023. This Dream with me concert was performed at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarosota, FL., USA. It was hosted and produced by David Foster, and he also produced her album "Dream With Me". David also played the piano with Jackie in most of the performances in this concert. This song "Lovers" is from the movie "House of Flying Daggers" Most of the concert was done outside on the grounds, but some of the performances were done inside the Museum as well. This concert was also aired on PBS stations, this aired concert was the most broadcast program of the year for the PBS Special. This entire concert was Phenomenal, absolutely every song was perfection. I was introduced to this very talented young Lady in 2010, like many others on the TV show America's Got Talent, where she finished in second place. I have followed her journey ever since. I listen to her Beautiful voice almost every day, her current performances and songs as well. Through the years, she has done many albums, and sang all over the World, and received many awards for her albums. Jackie is the youngest artist ever to go Platinum in the US, and the youngest ever to appear on Billboards top ten. Jackie is a Classical Crossover Singer, even though she can do Opera, she does sing in different Languages. Jackie does have a very big fan base, that is very loyal, and follows her very close. I try to be only one of her biggest fans, but know I can't be the best, but I try. I'll mention one more concert she did for PBS, it was called Music of the Movie's/ The Live Tour was called songs from the Silver Screen. There is way more, but I'll leave it up to more of her Loyal Fan base to add more amazing info for her. It is very rare that I don't get chills, Goosebumps, and Tears running down my face hearing her Beautiful Voice. Many people experience the same thing, it's hard not to, Jackie's Voice reaches your Soul every time. Here's some more songs from Jackie, from this amazing Concert I'll request to you to enjoy, but it is very had to choose, but here you go: Jackie Evancho- Mi Mancherai (from Dream with Me In Concert Length 4:04 Mar. 19, 2019 Jackie Evancho Ch., Jackie Evancho- Imaginer (from Dream With Me In Concert) Length 4:52 Mar. 15, 2019 Jackie Evancho Ch. Conrad Tao on Piano/ age 16, Jackie Evancho- Dark Waltz (From Dream with Me In Concert) Length 4:22 Mar. 15, 2019 Jackie Evancho Ch. This performance was done inside the Museum. These songs will get you started on your Journey to enjoy the amazing Talent of Jackie Evancho. More songs should be submitted to you from more of her amazing Loyal Fans. I can't tell you how Happy this has made me, for you to do my song request of Jackie's, and I'm overjoyed you loved it so much!!!

Jackie was an operatic prodigy...I must admit I haven't seen this performance before. She usually sang in her upper register at this age. Don't remember hearing her sing this low at this age...I'm guessing she was 13 or so at this performance. Good to see Mike back....

[@cl9786]

She had just turned 11 when this concert was filmed for PBS Great Performances.

[@jordannash1998]

Jackie Evancho [e VAN ko] first hit AGT in year 2010 age 10 and after becoming runner-up, was under a multi million dollar contract a month later, with Sony/Columbia and Syco, working with David Foster [seen on piano in this clip]. By April of the following year, she had already released three albums, one of which was "Dream With Me", a PBS Great Performances production staged at the John & Mabel Ringling museum with a VERY high class orchestra and staging. She had previously auditioned for AGT live twice before and wasn't accepted, but AGT had a KZbin submission process in 2010, which she was the first place contestant and, by its rules, she HAD to be allowed to perform. At the time, AGT would have shown interesting kid acts, but they were not commercially viable so they were no problem for AGT until Jackie, who presented significant legal issues as a VERY minor child. After Jackie, Simon Cowell discovered the drawing power of young pre-teen singers and was constantly promoting them all as opera singers, which was a misnomer. Jackie has a Classical Crossover voice, not an opera-like voice like Amira. Jackie's performance range runs from soprano to mezzo all the way through contralto, but she sings with a clear toned voice, using 'perfect pitch' and expressiveness and a naturally floating voice not usual to pre-teens - or anyone else for that matter. You've hit pay dirt with her. Everything she sings is fantastic.

David Foster Produced, and what a fabulous production it was. Seems like Jackie perpetuated the Aria we hear so often now, by so many young Artists...

[@cl9786]

I agree it is a "fabulous production", at a cost of about $1M, consisting of 15 songs performed live by 11 year old Jackie. However, the song is not an aria, but the title song from the movie, House of Flying Daggers, recorded by opera singer, Kathleen Battle. It should not be confused with opera. Jackie did however perform 3 arias from her album, Dream With Me... O Mio Babbino Caro Ombra Mai Fu Nessun Dorma

[@tunanorth]

I was front row center at a historic Houston church when she debuted this number while still 10 years old, in a concert that was kind of a warmup for this TV special. The audience was totally stunned into silence at what they had heard, then erupted in a massive ovation. It was like seeing Hendrix' debut at Monterey, something you never get over.

[@GeorgeLotridge]

Mike and Ginger, it's so great to see your reaction to young Jackie! Look for the "Jackie Evancho 1st Live Audition America's Got Talent" video - that's the performance that brought her to the attention of the public at nine years old. There was a controversy for a while after that show aired because some people claimed she was lip syncing, which she was not. Jackie was, for a few years, officially the world's youngest opera singer, and she even got to sing with her idol, Sarah Brightman.

[@jayjackson8480]

"To Believe" is in the same concert, " Dream With Me in Concert (age 11), and on the album (age 10).

[@brgilbert2]

I confess, I keep coming back to this reaction by you and Mike Ginger. And am hoping to find another reaction to Jackie posted by you soon. The impression I have of your taste in music might include some Opera so you might try Sebben Crudle when Jackie was 8 or 9 years old. As a side note, there are many who make claims about Jackie being self taught but that is not quite true. The woman at the piano who I thought was her "mother" is supposed to be her teacher. I know Jackie did have an instructor for a short time hired by her parents so that woman could be her teacher.

[@cl9786]

Yvie Burnett was Jackie's coach (not teacher) on AGT (required by AGT) and then only through her performances for this PBS concert. After a few early singing lessons, her mother refused classical training for Jackie to preserve her exceptional purity of tone...."We don't want her to sound like all the other sopranos". When Jackie recorded The Debut at age 18, she hired vocal coach, Joan Lader in NYC, for a few coaching sessions to help her "develop her belting pop voice and make sure she wasn't developing bad habits". Jackie said herself in a Facebook Q&A, "I haven't had voice training of any kind". In an interview prior to performing at The Sharon in Florida in 2022, she said "What I love about my music is that my singing is almost solely instinctual". ' So, for all practical purposes, Jackie is a "natural" singer, not a trained/taught singer. For all practical purposes, she is "self-taught".

[@jordannash1998]

@@cl9786, I don't quite recognize your moniker, meaning being a member of Jackie's original fan club. Jackie's mother would often get on-line to converse with the members. It was there that she relayed that information. Unfortunately, because Jackie's web page has been reorganized, her fan club NO longer exists. I am not sure you are agreeing with me when you say "a few early singing lessons" but the fact is, her mother indicated that they had hired (as in paid to) a coach. For how long I do NOT recall but more then you indicate. Hope this clarifies my first post.

@@brgilbert2 I was not a member of the original fan club. Is that a requirement to be considered a knowledgeable fan? I've followed her career since before it's beginning on AGT when she posted home-made videos on KZbin at age 8 and gave mini-concerts in the Pittsburgh area at age 9, in addition to numerous talent competitions, including David Foster's regional talent search where he first met Jackie at age 9. Yes, I am agreeing with you that Jackie had singing lessons after AGT, but her mother stopped them for the reason I mentioned. As I said, Yvie Burnett COACHED Jackie through the recording of Dream With Me. Then her mother coached her from then until she was about 17. Her mother was not a voice teacher. The point is that Jackie has never had voice training. There is a significant difference between being coached and being trained.

[@user-pl6vl6cw2r]

@@brgilbert2 VOCAL COACH VS. VOICE TEACHER: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? While the terms can be used interchangeably, the difference between a vocal coach and a voice teacher is that a coach provides guidance and helps with technique so that the singer can improve their voice, while a teacher teaches the fundamentals of singing. So, Jackie was trained. What's the problem?

This performance was in 2011 on PBS Great Performances, Jackie had just turned 11 years old. She was runner-up on America's Got Talent at age 10 and effectively opened the door for child singers like Amira, Angelina and a flood of others who have followed. None have equaled her history-making accomplishments, the first being the youngest Platinum solo artist in US history at age 10. She's had 8 consecutive albums hit #1 on the Classical Chart.

She continues to perform her classical crosssover repertoire for concerts while also writing her own music, it's misleading to say "she no longer sings like this". Her upcoming concert in April at The Centrum in Spring, Tx....."An Evening with Jackie Evancho will be chronicling her career thus far as well as introducing fans to new music. Singing songs from all her albums and including songs that go back to her roots on America’s Got Talent and her stint on The Masked Singer". She is writing and composing in the ALTERNATIVE pop genre which is created by artists outside the mainstream and considered more original, challenging, or eclectic than traditional pop music.....Not "a la Taylor Swift". The Alt pop genre happens to be "the way I write", she says.

Thanks so much guys the multi-Platinum Jackie Evancho is such a gift for those who enjoy Classical Cross Over. Jackie gave us 10 #1 Billboard Classical Albums in a row, before being hobbled by Anorexia Nervousa and the pressures of child stardom. She seems better now and is back producing at Melody Place Music in Nashville.

Jackie's performance on AGT in 2010 had a LOT to do with the increased number of young children being seen now. Got Talent shows around the world began actively searching for young singers to have on, after seeing the surge of interest from viewers reacting to Jackie. And of course parents and kids also saw Jackie's success on AGT and wanted to do the same. "Lovers" was the theme song from the movie "House of Flying Daggers". David Foster seeing Jackie's success on AGT, offered his services to Jackie's parents, and took her under his wings and they made two albums together. This is from their first album, titled "Dream With Me" recorded when Jackie was still 10 years old, The actual performance you are reacting to here is from Jackie's first PBS Great Performances Special also titled Dream With Me, and was taped 4 days after Jackie's 11th birthday. Jackie holds the Record for the youngest solo vocalist to go Platinum, a title Michael Jackson had held for years. I would love to see you do more reactions to Jackie's many outstanding performances. "Danny Boy" is a favorite of mine(there are many). She only sang it once as a special request from David Forster when they were recording the "Dream With Me" album. It is the first and only time Jackie has sung "Danny Boy". The lyrics touched Jackie so deeply that David Forster had to remove one verse, and change the wording of a couple of others before Jackie could bring herself to perform "Danny Boy" to be recorded . I am very much looking forward to seeing more Jackie reaction video from you guys, take your pick of performances, they are all great.

@jayjackson8480 Prior to britain's got talent , the large talent shows did not allow very young children to go on at all. Connie's performance caused many of the other talent shows to change the rules which allowed young children to go on. She was instrumental in the fact that young children got on to talent shows. When simon started Britain's got talent , one of the things he did to try to attract attention was to allow children on. Jackie would not have been able to go on.

It may have been mentioned earlier. Jackie has never had vocal training of any kind. She is a purely "natural" recording artist and performer. Moreover, she has the innate ability to change her vocal style to suit different genres. She is a multi-genre artist and one of the most versatile young sopranos of the century.

The video being played by Mike and Ginger is from the DVD of Jackie's PBS Great Performances solo concert, "Dream With Me in Concert" recorded live at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, FL. As with all the other performances, It is posted on KZbin, from where it was obtained for this reaction video, copyrighted and provided by Sony Music Entertainment....uploaded by Jackie on her official channel. 2 songs were not recorded on the Dream With Me album (Dark Waltz and Mi Mancherai)" Lovers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKLNaZV6o7GIqK8 A poster, user-wj3pt....(below), has repeatedly insisted that the audio track of Lovers from the studio recording of Jackie's Dream With Me album has been "added" (synced) to the video played by Mike and Ginger. That is not true, and It is not a "professional music video" as he/she claims, nor are any of the other KZbin videos of the 14 songs Jackie performed live in concert for PBS Great Performances.

[@monkeysquashface]

Good idea to start your own comment thread on this. Jackie does not need to have anything sync over her live performances. This one is so amazing and you can tell the amount of work, probably hours of practice, and passion that little Jackie put into this LIVE performance

[@cl9786]

​@squashface Actually, I think the orchestra required more hours of practice and rehearsal than Jackie did, since she had recorded the songs for the album at David Foster's Studio in Malibu in only 3 months. She is a natural peformer who is a quick study with an exceptional memory for lyrics and melody and doesn't read music. Imagine an 11 year old performing 15 songs live, 1 in French and 5 in Italian, with full orchestra. That has never been done before, and moreover, the concert generated record amounts of fundraising money for PBS at a production cost of approx. $1M.

[@monkeysquashface]

​@@cl9786 I agree. She really is a phenomenon. I think that the practice would have been to get every note, intake of breath, and little Jackie jaw wobble to match up perfectly with a what is supposedly a studio recording of this song 😂😂 Seriously though, you're right. Jackie is just naturally gifted in all aspects. She was born to sing and perform

[cl9786] I have no idea where you are getting your information from and frankly, I do NOT recognize your name from Jackie's official fan club which still exists today but in an abbreviated form. Looking at my CD I see "Mi Mancherai". And are you insinuating that the you-tube videos are NOT from either Jackie's CD or DVD, that they are nothing more then "pick-up" musicians just hanging around and making noise? Gee, I thought that concert was "professionally recorded" and those you-tube videos sure look like they were from that concert or maybe that is not what you meant to imply when you stated "it is not a professional music video"!!

[@cl9786]

@@brgilbert2 I am a long-time fan who has followed Jackie's career since before AGT, and I have been commenting on KZbin for years, I am very familiar with Jackie's recording and performance history beginning with her KZbin videos at age 8. I am not a member of Jackie's official fan club, since I do not have a social media account. There are 2 cds of Dream With Me. The most commonly purchased cd (comes in a plastic jacket) does not include Mi Mancherai or Dark Waltz. The other has "bonus tracks" which include Someday, Mi Mancherai, The Impossible Dream and A Time for Us. I have both. I am stating that the KZbin videos of the concert are from the DVD recorded live, provided by Sony Music Entertainment and uploaded by Jackie on her official KZbin channel. Sony removed the original videos years ago which had millions of views. The video of Lovers that Mike and Ginger are playing is the KZbin video suggested to them by Thomas as a request. Yes, the concert was professionally recorded. The guy I am talking about is saying that it is a "professional music video" not a live recording. A music video is a lip-synced performance using a studio recording. Jackie's video of Silent Night at age 11 from her Heavenly Christmas album, for exampe, is a professional music video using the audio recording to which Jackie is lip-synching. He claims the audio on this video of Lovers was "added" from the cd as would be the case in a music video. He is either mistaken or intentionally insisting that the video is not a live recording to discredit it, having posted the same comment twice before after deleting the replies to his previous posts.
