There are many and most are great, but for me no one short of Charlotte Church was/is capable of what Jackie Evancho was at the ripe old age of 10. Here she is with Sarah Brightman a world class opera singer, and this little upstart gives Sarah a run for her money. My jaw dropped the first time I heard this... I'm sure many of you have heard this but still...
"Time To Say Goodbye" What a beautiful song...

The girl is very talented to sing and the boy is very talented for comedy.....  Sorry, I didn't want to ruin your thread, but I am not a fan of children star system, I think that the good place for a child is to play with their friends, not to evoluate in adults world. |

Not really my style, but she has a wonderful voice. And she uses it with great taste.

The whole point was to showcase a 10 year old girl who truly has a one in a million voice which is truly spectacular. It's a shame people can't stay on topic in a thread and post things totally unrelated to the subject.  |

On the other side, I still disagree for the children showbusiness, I couldn't approved this with my personal principles. BTW, I don't think this is very off with your thread topic |

Sorry, but Jackie blew Sarah away. This is no child in show business scenario. This is an artist who sings with the passion of someone decades her senior.
Would you have felt the same way 250 years ago when Amadeus performed?

Well, being that Ed has given tacet approval for me to comment in his music threads again... While impressive for someone her age, she's already dropped to a mezzo and when she goes falsetto her diction is appalling, even for someone her age. For her to have been able to do this song with proper diction she'd have to have dropped to alto and it's quite possible that her range would have bottomed out; thus the decision to go falsetto. At the time of this recording she would have been 13 at the oldest and not through with puberty. She may eventually fully drop to alto. Hopefully, she's able to improve her range and diction with further practice. |

I'll send you a recording of me singing, then we can talk appalling diction!  Now if you do want to critique Jackie, I think a fair video for that would be the time she tried her hand at pop! Thankfully, I think she decided not to go that route!! She is currently 14 years old that was done an year ago, so you would be correct about her age. It would be interesting to see if she becomes an alto. Her falsetto is really what she's known for but I felt the toughest part for her was always lower notes and some power. But the style of songs she tackles doesn't lend itself to powerhouses. You may enjoy this girl 11 years old! : Now if you don't like it...you MUST post a video of a young female singer you do approve! |
