Here i am a liberal 69 year old man who has seen the the best Class A singers and she is the that makes me mush. She is not a Class A singer she is a Class A+++ singer. The best i ever heard. Mozart would be proud .
I've been to 13 of Jackie's concerts and they've all been wonderful. Kind of strange though that after many standing ovations, at the end of the program it's unusually quiet. I finally realized that when you've got goose bumps, chills, and a lump in your throat all at the same time, you are literally speechless!
I believe the British term would be "gobsmacked." Too funny to see the SAME reaction from EVERYONE who hears her for the first time. Need to come up with a new adjective to describe Jackie. Can start with 'staggering' then go higher.
I saw Jackie in March 2021, I’m a Disabled 100% Vietnam Veteran with a few metals some personal some Battalion. I was in the front row where my shoes touched the bottom of the stage at times I was only 4ft from her at times. There were songs she song and I know I’m a Marine did all I could do to hold it together. My wife passed away before we could see her in the Semi finals at AGT 1 hour before it aired so Jackie is a big part of my life to help me go on without my wife. God Bless Jackie Evancho.
@@ronniedelaplain6722 After noting that kind of deep response to Jackie, I delivered 105 programs to nursing homes all with deep and rewarding effect. Blessings, Ronnie
She is the best singer i ever heard. I am 69 years old. She is like a female Caruso but even better. Mozart would be proud She is not a Class A singer.She is a Class A+++
A great blast from the past. She was only 10 yo. at that time. She released her first album early Dec that year and it went platinum by Christmas. She is the younger artist to go platinum. She has released at least 6 more albums since then. I can't and I WON"T criticize her over any political issue. I love her and support her and her sister.
It always takes a while to get your head around Evancho even for a veteran "Reactor" She looks like a little angel and the voice is other worldly. If Foster never heard anything like it than it doesn't exist. But its not an opera voice, Evancho's voice is so unique a mesmerizing tone and pitch, nothing like it, like she's on loan from heavens choir.
@@robertevers6239 Operettic singing is a voice that's been trained to story tell to the back row of a theater with out electronic amplification. Terrific art form, but doesn't sound great to me. Evancho is a fantastic young vocalist, who I prefer over Opera singers.
In addition to having great depth and range and an unmatched clarity of tone Miss Evancho is breathtakingly beautiful, the likes of which this 66 year old man has never seen before.
I loved your review on her, it’s great to see people appreciate her talent. You should check her out now in 2020 she’s even better if you can believe that! She has more control and her sound is just cleaner and she annunciates better. She’s been branching out into pop but still does the classical crossover. I just love her voice and the way she expresses herself when she performs. I had the privilege to see her live and she was phenomenal!
There's another Foster show where she sings Angel. It's as close to perfect as you get. Nessun Dorma on BGT blew everyone away. She's been a joy to watch and hear as she's grown and improved.
Of all the songs that I have heard Jackie sing, these two, at this performance with David Foster, are my favorites. Reading some of the other remarks, here, I gather she has been through rather a lot, more recently, in terms of criticism from the public, etc. I am sorry to hear it. I first came to these performances (or at least to the second one) via Amira, or actually through her family. I had much the same reaction to Jackie's early singing (and especially this performance) that you do, here. Thanks much, Kent. :-)
She is blessed with a beautiful voice. She's a professional opera singer She's 10 years old. Thankyou jesus amen Susan morris from hyde park in Boston Massachusetts
Fan video on UA-cam of her singing 'Imaginer' in Taiwan (before 30,000 fans) when she was 13. Now at 17 see her 'Attesa' video and 'Caruso' which are gorgeous!
Much like you commented that Graces voice was like a good roller coaster, young Jackie also has a coaster voice, yet they could not be farther apart in styles nor closer in vocal talent. Hard to imagine having that kind of vocal chord control, just crazy man!
She'd make me fall in love with classic, no one else did, because the majority singers of classic have clear soprano with contralto that hurt my ears when I hear those high notes.😅
Nothing even close to that amazing comes along often. Imagine the magical musical instrument that must be behind those pretty blue eyes. To make that sound come from that tiny body. She is Michael Jackson gifted.
Jackie's voice has changed in that it has become more rounded and more suited to the crossover style she is now concentrating on. This wonderful young girl, still in her mid teens, has come under some very evil attacks. She sang the National Anthem at Trumps innauguration, but had already twice sung for Obama and also in front of both Bush's, Clinton and Carter. She says she wants to sing for every President she can. She made it clear her choice was non political but that did not stop the nasty remarks. Prior to that her sister had announced that she was transgender changing from Jacob to Juliet. Jackie supported her sister and was even threatened because of that.. This young lady has had to weather two very nasty storms but has come through that with dignity and charm and has become possibly the finest crossover singer there is.
les cox - it’s such a shame that we live in a country filled with so much hate, but supposedly supportive of freedom. She has a full fledged supporter and me and the rest of those people can take their hate elsewhere!
Well said Michi, I feel strongly about many things, including politics but will never let politics, religion and other such things get inthe way of either my appreciation of beauty or my friendships which are far more important to me than those issues. I also can never, and never will, understand how anyone can attack a child. I have even seen some very cruel things said about Grace and even young Lorelei Monsegutu has been attacked on line, Some very sick people on this planet.
The argument over her singing for Trump was not about politics, it was about morality. Trump is a sexual predator. By appearing in support of him, she was supporting what he had done. That makes her and everyone else who supports Trump a denizen of a moral wasteland. It has nothing to do with Republican, Democrat, Independent, LIbertarian, Nazi, Communist....It's all about whether you approve of someone who assaults women. Apparently, Jackie does. That makes her a hypocrite as well. And this is not about hate, it's about disgust. But if you say that hating people who support sexual assault is "hating", then, yeah, I'm a "hater" - and you should be also, if you have any sense of morals and ethics.
How dare you accuse any one of hate when you are prepared to attack a child because she sings your National Anthem. Trump is everything I thoroughly detest, he is a bigot, a pervert, a blatent liar, a racist and may well plunge us into a war. But unless you are prepared to scrap the inauguration of a democratically elected (ha what a joke) president then you have to accept that the inauguration is a national ceremony. Almost all those who declined did so not on principle but because they were scared by threats of reprisals, she showed the true American spirit by saying to the threateners, go to hell. She sang your National Anthem, not what a nice guy Trump is. Until you decide to effect a change you are stuck with your poor excuse for democracy which sometimes allows catastrophies like Trump to happen. Only a coward ever attacks a child.
@ les cox I'm not sure who your indignation is aimed, but I thought I'd respond. (The only person I said was a "hater" is me - hating moral turpitude in elected officials, of whatever political persuasion. Believe me, I never had any issues with who Jackie sang for - until Trump.) We appear to share the same dislike for the man, but a very different view on what Jackie's singing before Trump meant. IMO Jackie is no longer a child. She may still be a teenager, but she's been operating in an adult world for a long time now. She is a young woman, old enough to know better. She can't claim the naivete of childhood any more. Her appearance was a statement of support both for the political office and for the venal, ethically and moral bankrupt person occupying the White House. It acted to normalize this administration, which is anything but normal - it's the opposite of normal. Just the fact that Jackie can now count herself as being in the same company as Ted Nugent should have been enough to get her to say no. The fact that Trump called political opponents names, like a child in a playground, should be enough to say we cannot allow him to be normalized. I'm think of "Lyin' Ted Cruz" and "Little Marco Rubio, both US Senators. Trump does not respect the offices of others, and should not be granted the respect he refuses to show to others. I'm sorry that someone like you who seems to understand what a disgusting person Trump is should make a case for normalizing his tenure in office. The case you make is very similar to the "love it or leave it" call to "patriotism" that many people on the Right made in regard to people protesting the War in Vietnam. It's a simple matter - just because someone can claim the emblems and badges of political office does not mean that we ignore whether the things they are doing, saying or being are immoral, unethical and/or illegal. Ignoring such behavior normalizes abnormality, accepts the unacceptable. I used to really love Jackie's music. But her voice is gone and so is her image. That doesn't leave much to admire. I don't hate her for it, I'm just really saddened by it.
Hi Kent, Fun video. "Just in case" you haven't followed up on the now just-17 year old Jackie, in the 7 years since this performance, she: broke Michael Jackson's record as youngest artist in US chart history to have a Platinum album, had three top ten albums on the Billboard 200 chart, had SIX consecutive #1 albums on the Billboard Classical Chart, had her own 1-hour solo TV special THREE times, performed for both Obama [twice] and Trump, along with the Pope, and done duets with Andrea Bocelli, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, Tony Bennett, and numerous other luminaries. She also just moved to NYC with an eye on Broadway.
Jackie is another favorite of mine. By the way, she was runner up for AGT 2013 at age 13, and her performance of "Ave Maria" in the final was sublime. Jackie also sent Angelica Hale a tweet congratulations for HER runner up status, saying there is surely more to come for Angelica.
It was 2010 and Jackie was 10 . The reacted to video was taped not long after in fact. The 7 turning 8 year old Jazz singer Angelina Jordan was equally impressive a couple of year back, however there is still development going on with her in terms of finding material able to bring her artistry into a modern setting. She has done some Amy Winehouse .. Arixsandra Libantino has the edge where vocal power is concerned. Marlisa Punzalan (Australia's Got Talent Winner 2014) was exceptional too. Ronan Keating (mentor) wrote her a quality Final Song, A big Hit. She opened with Yesterday [the Beatles]. She was the both the first and last performer of that Series. Her second performance was incredible.
Kent,I have seen this reaction video of yours many times. I think that you should do a reaction to this reaction video. The looks on your face are priceless! But typical of those who hear Jackie Evancho sing for the first time. Her style whatever anyone wants to call it is beautifully unique! Tomorrow night February 4th, Jackie sings on AGT:THE CHAMPIONS! I would love to see your reaction to a fully grown Jackie! Hint: She is better than ever and has grown into a strong woman! Those who said that she would ruin her voice in a few years are nowhere to be found now! Simply a once in a millennia talent! Thanks for your reactions.
Good News! Jackie will begin touring post Covid Nov 4th ClearWater Florida, 6th at the Villages and 7th in Ft Lauderdale. Expect an NEW Album out of MPM in Nashville and before the tour begins.
New subscriber here. I love your Grace reactions and i am so happy to find that you have discovered Jackie now. I have been a fan of hers since she placed 2nd on AGT in 2010. You should check out her wikipedia page. Her list of accomplishments is extraordinary, most notable of which she is the youngest solo artist ever to have a platinum selling record at the ripe old age of 10 (her christmas ep O holy night). You should also definitely watch her journey on agt starting with her audition, then quarterfinals, semifinals, and final performances. She was, and still is, truly amazing. She has at least 5 albums out, each one of which topped the classical charts. You might also check out some of her concert performances. I love her performance of "Lovers" from her PBS special (she has had 2 pbs specials). Anyway, keep up the good work!
She is now a 18yo working professional living in NYC. One of the finest young up and coming Stars in the land. She has a Transgender sister and a foundation supporting Transgender teens. Some fan didn't that, she doesn't care. She sang at the Trump inaugurations. The American left and their media cohorts tried to destroy her. She still doesn't care. You know why? Because she has character. And yet another new album, "The Debut" coming in March.
She was around 10 I think here. No date. But she is definitely a bit older now a days. Beautiful voice. Even more amazing as a kid with that voice. Still beautiful voice
Oh Gosh, Please watch her on Britian's Got Talent, where they invited her the year after her performance on America's Got Talent......the song she did was Nessun Dorma......absolutely the best performance by her ever.
[James Tulk] As my memory serves me, I believe you are referring to her "fight night" concert with David Foster which are held in Canada. This concert was held in Vegas with several top acts like Peter Cetera, Nat King Cole's daughter Natalie Cole and a few others that escape my memory.
If this was your first time hearing Jackie, and if you are a fan of this type of music, then you are going to love knowing Jackie has been performing for 7 years now, and her vocal skills have grown every year. Jackie's rendition of "Danny Boy" that was recorded when she was still 10 years old, back in March 2011, is a favorite of mine. And maybe what is most amazing about it is Jackie had NEVER sung "Danny Boy" before the day she recorded, and has NEVER sang it since recording it. Please post it on your channel and give your opinion of it. ua-cam.com/video/8s_jleJFR_M/v-deo.html
I am a huge fan of Jackie's and she was just a 10yo on AGT, but is now 17. I love her voice so much that I have been to 7 of her concerts (one each year)... Her Dream With Me CD and PBS DVD special are filled with jaw dropping performances. Here is yet another example of her angelic style at that young age: ua-cam.com/video/RcNvdX-1kwM/v-deo.html And another at age 17: ua-cam.com/video/arhijZEgCmw/v-deo.html
At 11, she recorded this live, at The House of Flying Daggers in Japan. It became part of her second album and video. Just beautiful. Sorry the video is copyrighted so its just the audio. ua-cam.com/video/zJvPTxNB4ko/v-deo.html
Since you are now a fan, you need to watch her perform both of these songs on AGT. Here is her audition doing O Mio Babbino Caro and then in the semi-finals doing Pie Jesu (no reaction needed, just enjoy): ua-cam.com/video/3d_XTvLalJk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/roVWL5F5fbM/v-deo.html During the AGT Top 10 tour we all got to witness this new song (for her anyway), this you should react to: ua-cam.com/video/rySXIbeRlUc/v-deo.html
As further reaction material for Jackie let me suggest: ua-cam.com/video/3PyInyZn_0M/v-deo.html This is a live concert recording and is from 2016. This video is absolute magic.
This was performed in Las Vegas. Jackie went on to be a platinum winning superstar, singing cross-over for the most part. Personally, I think her voice was at its best when she 10-12 years of age, having a richness in the lower registers that would seem impossible for someone her age. David Foster referred to a concert he had with Jackie the year before. Here's a "must hear" rendition of "Angel" which she sang at that concert. ua-cam.com/video/bwSd6pd5UAQ/v-deo.html
Can you react to Carly Rose Sonenclar’s audition for X factor 2012? I know it’s old but I feel like you would like her because she is very unique and extremely talented
I loved her audition! She was 13 and nobody could believe her confidence, stage presence etc. Blew everyone away. We find out later she had previous experience as young Eponine and young Colette on Broadway stage in Les Miserables, and a season on TV in Electric Company, etc., befor her audition on AGT. She's great. Not a lot after AGT, because she went back to school to get her high school diploma, which she got just last year. She should be building up her career now, at least I hope so. I look forward to much more.
Yes you're certainly way behind on Jackie you should check out Amira Willaghagan too if you haven't done so already, another astonishingly good child soprano voice.
Jackie Evancho is one of the most amazing voices in the world! If you like her way of singing please check out another singer Mireya Derksen from The Netherlands, she also started singing classical at a really young age and has a unique sound. I've been to a few performances. She has a vocal range of four octaves and she is also a composer. Now she is 22 and this is one of her most beautiful recent songs ua-cam.com/video/o-EUZT1Ztoo/v-deo.html If you like this you can also check out her 24 minute composition The fantasy rhapsody ua-cam.com/video/4LazFcQ9igE/v-deo.html
It looks like that you have started anew fad called "Reaction Videos ". Now 12 years later looks like everyone else and their dog is hopping on the bandwagon with their own "Reaction Videos".
My late wife and I used to listen to a lot of music together. I lost her over 6 years ago and haven't listen to music near as much as we used to because it reminded me of her too much and how I miss her. But lately I've been watching shows The Voice and others. That is how I find Grace, and being new people without bringing back old memoirs has helped me get back into listening to music again.
paulhoff It's so important that you can listen to music again without having any connection to the past. It means you've "moved on" at least to some extent. We have to do this to continue to feed the heart and soul.
Hello! I have listening tonyour reactions and i love them. I now wonder if you could do one on a song from a Swedish group called Dirty Loops? The smoth song called ”Breakdown” or the more funkier ”Rock You”. It would be great to hear what you think about them. All the best! Håkan in Sweden
Jackie was so exciting when she first started out. But that was a while ago, so I'd be interested in watching your reaction to some of her recent videos - if you can find them. I probably will draw some flak for this, but I find her current voice to have lost a lot of the power it once had. I have never heard anything about her having strained her vocal cords, but that seems likely to me. She cannot reach the upper ranges she used to, and when she goes for high notes, she twists her head so that it's cocked at an odd angle - like she's struggling to reach the upper notes. And, like I said, those upper notes are weak when they should be strong. Her voice is still pure and clear, with perfect pitch, but without the power, I fear her career as a singer is pretty much over. She can still get people to attend her concerts, so there's still something there. So, I'd really like to see you react to her newest stuff. Maybe this: ua-cam.com/video/Qw1lAZ7i7sc/v-deo.html or this: ua-cam.com/video/JHOP-dmRSo8/v-deo.html
I agree. She was at her best age ages 10-12. Don't know where her power went. Also, her singing these days no longer has the amazing phrasing that tugged so at the heartstrings. Above, I commented with a video of her singing "Angel," where her phrasing was utterly perfect. Now, it seems like she's no longer "into" her songs. Here's another amazing performance from that same concert with David Foster. ua-cam.com/video/voljGr1jZ8E/v-deo.html
I would argue her voice is just as good now, if not better than its ever been. Here she is performing Nessun Dorma from a 2017 concert. ua-cam.com/video/Q1LbVsWFt-o/v-deo.html
She is better than ever and off to Juilliard to be polished into the most amazing performer of her generation . Here from an audience camera phone with a mic the size of a pencil eraser. ua-cam.com/video/pSji-xNp1ps/v-deo.html At a show like this she'll do 15 songs and 40 shows a year, so will protect her voice, over the course of an evening. But the voice is more powerful and more well rounded. In fact remarkably so. Add a gusty wing and 102 degrees at that show. A side by side cut you would notice a massive increase in her abilities and power. All that's gone is the 11yr old bell tone and the little girl wow factor.
Rehoboth I’m an amateur violinist. No tin ear You can’t hear her lost upper-range power, like many others here. I’m disappointed no ne can give a link which disproves me. Jackie’s intonation and timbre are exquisite, so I hope Juilliard can help her with her upper range. It may be that she’s simply protecting her voice. I hope that’s the case. We shall see.
I am 71 years old .And I have heard lots of singers and she has the best voice I ever heared. No one is even close.
Here i am a liberal 69 year old man who has seen the the best Class A singers and she is the that makes me mush. She is not a Class A singer she is a Class A+++ singer. The best i ever heard. Mozart would be proud .
Yes you may have a point. Jackie should make a Baroque Album, singing famous pieces. Such an accomplishment would get her career back on track.
I've been to 13 of Jackie's concerts and they've all been wonderful. Kind of strange though that after many standing ovations, at the end of the program it's unusually quiet. I finally realized that when you've got goose bumps, chills, and a lump in your throat all at the same time, you are literally speechless!
I believe the British term would be "gobsmacked." Too funny to see the SAME reaction from EVERYONE who hears her for the first time. Need to come up with a new adjective to describe Jackie. Can start with 'staggering' then go higher.
For sure the last song is wow! Her lower register works better now. I notice she sings low most times for her. Rare this key anymore

Jackie is simply awesome. I have never in my 80+ years been so mesmerized by any one singer.

Since American got talent.
And I always see her as a angel... 💗💗💗

A classic performance, recorded when Jackie was just ten years old!
Every time I hear her I am mush.I am a 69 year old man and she is the best singer 👩🎤 I have heard
OMG, one word, unbelievably angelic
She is the best living singer
Don't worry. She threw her net around me back in 2010. But, it is a nice, uplifting, joyous net!
There's a clip of Jackie singing the national anthem at age 9 at a Pittsburgh Pirates game. Nobody could believe what they were hearing.
She is blessed with a beautiful voice. She's a professional opera singer
She's 10 years old.

Her appearance was a statement of support both for the political office and for the venal, ethically and moral bankrupt person occupying the White House. It acted to normalize this administration, which is anything but normal - it's the opposite of normal. Just the fact that Jackie can now count herself as being in the same company as Ted Nugent should have been enough to get her to say no. The fact that Trump called political opponents names, like a child in a playground, should be enough to say we cannot allow him to be normalized. I'm think of "Lyin' Ted Cruz" and "Little Marco Rubio, both US Senators. Trump does not respect the offices of others, and should not be granted the respect he refuses to show to others.
I'm sorry that someone like you who seems to understand what a disgusting person Trump is should make a case for normalizing his tenure in office. The case you make is very similar to the "love it or leave it" call to "patriotism" that many people on the Right made in regard to people protesting the War in Vietnam. It's a simple matter - just because someone can claim the emblems and badges of political office does not mean that we ignore whether the things they are doing, saying or being are immoral, unethical and/or illegal. Ignoring such behavior normalizes abnormality, accepts the unacceptable.
I used to really love Jackie's music. But her voice is gone and so is her image. That doesn't leave much to admire. I don't hate her for it, I'm just really saddened by it.
Hi Kent, Fun video. "Just in case" you haven't followed up on the now just-17 year old Jackie, in the 7 years since this performance, she: broke Michael Jackson's record as youngest artist in US chart history to have a Platinum album, had three top ten albums on the Billboard 200 chart, had SIX consecutive #1 albums on the Billboard Classical Chart, had her own 1-hour solo TV special THREE times, performed for both Obama [twice] and Trump, along with the Pope, and done duets with Andrea Bocelli, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, Tony Bennett, and numerous other luminaries. She also just moved to NYC with an eye on Broadway.
She needs to start getting some grammies.
Jackie is another favorite of mine. By the way, she was runner up for AGT 2013 at age 13, and her performance of "Ave Maria" in the final was sublime. Jackie also sent Angelica Hale a tweet congratulations for HER runner up status, saying there is surely more to come for Angelica.
It was 2010 and Jackie was 10 years old.
Whoops, sorry!
It was 2010 and Jackie was 10 . The reacted to video was taped not long after in fact. The 7 turning 8 year old Jazz singer Angelina Jordan was equally impressive a couple of year back, however there is still development going on with her in terms of finding material able to bring her artistry into a modern setting. She has done some Amy Winehouse .. Arixsandra Libantino has the edge where vocal power is concerned. Marlisa Punzalan (Australia's Got Talent Winner 2014) was exceptional too. Ronan Keating (mentor) wrote her a quality Final Song, A big Hit. She opened with Yesterday [the Beatles]. She was the both the first and last performer of that Series. Her second performance was incredible.
Kent,I have seen this reaction video of yours many times. I think that you should do a reaction to this reaction video. The looks on your face are priceless! But typical of those who hear Jackie Evancho sing for the first time. Her style whatever anyone wants to call it is beautifully unique! Tomorrow night February 4th, Jackie sings on AGT:THE CHAMPIONS! I would love to see your reaction to a fully grown Jackie! Hint: She is better than ever and has grown into a strong woman! Those who said that she would ruin her voice in a few years are nowhere to be found now! Simply a once in a millennia talent! Thanks for your reactions.
lol
Jackie's a genius!
It is hard to see but at the 2:23 mark you can see tears running down the cheek of the lady sitting in the audience..
Good News! Jackie will begin touring post Covid Nov 4th ClearWater Florida, 6th at the Villages and 7th in Ft Lauderdale. Expect an NEW Album out of MPM in Nashville and before the tour begins.
New subscriber here. I love your Grace reactions and i am so happy to find that you have discovered Jackie now. I have been a fan of hers since she placed 2nd on AGT in 2010. You should check out her wikipedia page. Her list of accomplishments is extraordinary, most notable of which she is the youngest solo artist ever to have a platinum selling record at the ripe old age of 10 (her christmas ep O holy night). You should also definitely watch her journey on agt starting with her audition, then quarterfinals, semifinals, and final performances. She was, and still is, truly amazing. She has at least 5 albums out, each one of which topped the classical charts. You might also check out some of her concert performances. I love her performance of "Lovers" from her PBS special (she has had 2 pbs specials). Anyway, keep up the good work!
She has had 3 PBS specials (Dream with Me, Music of the Movies, and Awakening at Longwood Gardens.
I hope she never does something that will up set her parents or her her fans. It will be hard but I pray she stays humble and simple.
She is now a 18yo working professional living in NYC. One of the finest young up and coming Stars in the land. She has a Transgender sister and a foundation supporting Transgender teens. Some fan didn't that, she doesn't care. She sang at the Trump inaugurations. The American left and their media cohorts tried to destroy her. She still doesn't care. You know why? Because she has character. And yet another new album, "The Debut" coming in March.
She was around 10 I think here. No date. But she is definitely a bit older now a days. Beautiful voice. Even more amazing as a kid with that voice. Still beautiful voice
Oh Gosh, Please watch her on Britian's Got Talent, where they invited her the year after her performance on America's Got Talent......the song she did was Nessun Dorma......absolutely the best performance by her ever.
I hope, I could go on her concert in one of the days. And you could too. But. She maybe busy. I don’t see her concert in nearest days.
I am again mush. I am 69years old and she is the best I have ever heard.
At this concert other female singers declared they would'nt (or Could'nt) follow her act.
True story.
[James Tulk] As my memory serves me, I believe you are referring to her "fight night" concert with David Foster which are held in Canada. This concert was held in Vegas with several top acts like Peter Cetera, Nat King Cole's daughter Natalie Cole and a few others that escape my memory.
If this was your first time hearing Jackie, and if you are a fan of this type of music, then you are going to love knowing Jackie has been performing for 7 years now, and her vocal skills have grown every year. Jackie's rendition of "Danny Boy" that was recorded when she was still 10 years old, back in March 2011, is a favorite of mine. And maybe what is most amazing about it is Jackie had NEVER sung "Danny Boy" before the day she recorded, and has NEVER sang it since recording it. Please post it on your channel and give your opinion of it.

Maybe you'd like to hear Charice sings "To love you more/All by myself" with David Foster 😊
Glad Jackie was able to provide some culture for someone representing the U of M.
I am a huge fan of Jackie's and she was just a 10yo on AGT, but is now 17. I love her voice so much that I have been to 7 of her concerts (one each year)... Her Dream With Me CD and PBS DVD special are filled with jaw dropping performances. Here is yet another example of her angelic style at that young age: ua-cam.com/video/RcNvdX-1kwM/v-deo.html And another at age 17: ua-cam.com/video/arhijZEgCmw/v-deo.html
Oh, I hadn't seen this video of her Caruso. That was gorgeous.
Amazing Beautiful and Wonderful❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Please do "Attessa". She was 17 and sang it beautifully!
At 11, she recorded this live, at The House of Flying Daggers in Japan. It became part of her second album and video. Just beautiful. Sorry the video is copyrighted so its just the audio. ua-cam.com/video/zJvPTxNB4ko/v-deo.html
Jackie trained herself on UA-cam
Jamie Rich - that’s incredible!
Since you are now a fan, you need to watch her perform both of these songs on AGT. Here is her audition doing O Mio Babbino Caro and then in the semi-finals doing Pie Jesu (no reaction needed, just enjoy): ua-cam.com/video/3d_XTvLalJk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/roVWL5F5fbM/v-deo.html During the AGT Top 10 tour we all got to witness this new song (for her anyway), this you should react to: ua-cam.com/video/rySXIbeRlUc/v-deo.html
Bel Canto Soprano
As further reaction material for Jackie let me suggest: ua-cam.com/video/3PyInyZn_0M/v-deo.html This is a live concert recording and is from 2016. This video is absolute magic.
This was performed in Las Vegas. Jackie went on to be a platinum winning superstar, singing cross-over for the most part. Personally, I think her voice was at its best when she 10-12 years of age, having a richness in the lower registers that would seem impossible for someone her age. David Foster referred to a concert he had with Jackie the year before. Here's a "must hear" rendition of "Angel" which she sang at that concert. ua-cam.com/video/bwSd6pd5UAQ/v-deo.html
Well ah no!
Well ah yes!
Go to a concert next time in your area, then get back with us and give a critique. She does 35 shows a year.
I recommend you to react to Lara Fabian’s Je Suis Malade. It’s out of this world!
And now 18, here she is on "The Worlds Got Talent" stunning as ever. ua-cam.com/video/nCqZ2t9mG58/v-deo.html
Time to do some more "Jackie Reactions." Chose one of the 8 Masked Singer performances. ua-cam.com/video/b9z36phZ6ys/v-deo.html
Here's some help with your vocabulary; try depth, range and clarity of tone...
Can you react to Carly Rose Sonenclar’s audition for X factor 2012? I know it’s old but I feel like you would like her because she is very unique and extremely talented
Ally D - I’ve added it to the list! Nothing is too old for a reaction!
I loved her audition! She was 13 and nobody could believe her confidence, stage presence etc. Blew everyone away. We find out later she had previous experience as young Eponine and young Colette on Broadway stage in Les Miserables, and a season on TV in Electric Company, etc., befor her audition on AGT. She's great. Not a lot after AGT, because she went back to school to get her high school diploma, which she got just last year. She should be building up her career now, at least I hope so. I look forward to much more.
Carly'scover of Bruno Mars "Runaway Baby" is totally unbelievable ..
Strong Aingel ^^^ Yes that’s a great one to react to!!
Yes you're certainly way behind on Jackie you should check out Amira Willaghagan too if you haven't done so already, another astonishingly good child soprano voice.
Jackie Evancho is one of the most amazing voices in the world! If you like her way of singing please check out another singer Mireya Derksen from The Netherlands, she also started singing classical at a really young age and has a unique sound. I've been to a few performances. She has a vocal range of four octaves and she is also a composer. Now she is 22 and this is one of her most beautiful recent songs ua-cam.com/video/o-EUZT1Ztoo/v-deo.html
If you like this you can also check out her 24 minute composition The fantasy rhapsody ua-cam.com/video/4LazFcQ9igE/v-deo.html
Good day.. Can you please react to Gary Valenciano "spain".. Coming from your avid fan..
adonis ueshiba - I have added it to the list!
It looks like that you have started anew fad called "Reaction Videos ". Now 12 years later looks like everyone else and their dog is hopping on the bandwagon with their own "Reaction Videos".
Opera duo Charlotte & Jonathan ua-cam.com/video/41IS2OKqq1w/v-deo.html
pauldhoff - it’s on the list! Thank you for the link!
My late wife and I used to listen to a lot of music together. I lost her over 6 years ago and haven't listen to music near as much as we used to because it reminded me of her too much and how I miss her. But lately I've been watching shows The Voice and others. That is how I find Grace, and being new people without bringing back old memoirs has helped me get back into listening to music again.
paulhoff It's so important that you can listen to music again without having any connection to the past. It means you've "moved on" at least to some extent. We have to do this to continue to feed the heart and soul.
U of M hat so I excuse his mispronouncing of her name. Now on with the video
Hello!
I have listening tonyour reactions and i love them. I now wonder if you could do one on a song from a Swedish group called Dirty Loops? The smoth song called ”Breakdown” or the more funkier ”Rock You”. It would be great to hear what you think about them.
All the best!
Håkan in Sweden
Jackie was so exciting when she first started out. But that was a while ago, so I'd be interested in watching your reaction to some of her recent videos - if you can find them. I probably will draw some flak for this, but I find her current voice to have lost a lot of the power it once had. I have never heard anything about her having strained her vocal cords, but that seems likely to me. She cannot reach the upper ranges she used to, and when she goes for high notes, she twists her head so that it's cocked at an odd angle - like she's struggling to reach the upper notes. And, like I said, those upper notes are weak when they should be strong. Her voice is still pure and clear, with perfect pitch, but without the power, I fear her career as a singer is pretty much over. She can still get people to attend her concerts, so there's still something there. So, I'd really like to see you react to her newest stuff. Maybe this:
ua-cam.com/video/Qw1lAZ7i7sc/v-deo.html
or this:
ua-cam.com/video/JHOP-dmRSo8/v-deo.html
I agree. She was at her best age ages 10-12. Don't know where her power went. Also, her singing these days no longer has the amazing phrasing that tugged so at the heartstrings. Above, I commented with a video of her singing "Angel," where her phrasing was utterly perfect. Now, it seems like she's no longer "into" her songs. Here's another amazing performance from that same concert with David Foster. ua-cam.com/video/voljGr1jZ8E/v-deo.html
I would argue her voice is just as good now, if not better than its ever been. Here she is performing Nessun Dorma from a 2017 concert.
ua-cam.com/video/Q1LbVsWFt-o/v-deo.html
She is better than ever and off to Juilliard to be polished into the most amazing performer of her generation . Here from an audience camera phone with a mic the size of a pencil eraser. ua-cam.com/video/pSji-xNp1ps/v-deo.html At a show like this she'll do 15 songs and 40 shows a year, so will protect her voice, over the course of an evening. But the voice is more powerful and more well rounded. In fact remarkably so. Add a gusty wing and 102 degrees at that show. A side by side cut you would notice a massive increase in her abilities and power. All that's gone is the 11yr old bell tone and the little girl wow factor.
Then you have zero knowledge of music and a tin ear.
Rehoboth I’m an amateur violinist. No tin ear
You can’t hear her lost upper-range power, like many others here. I’m disappointed no ne can give a link which disproves me. Jackie’s intonation and timbre are exquisite, so I hope Juilliard can help her with her upper range. It may be that she’s simply protecting her voice. I hope that’s the case. We shall see.
