When we were let in to go to our tables (in Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night 2011), I first found my seat and then started talking with a guy standing next to me, Dave, who turned out to be one of the production managers. We started talking lighting rig (my interest), the sound system (overkill for the room), and about how the rehearsals went before they opened the doors. He said:

"Everything went well, and everyone here should be really pleased with the entertainment for the evening. But wait until you hear this little ten year old girl sing! I'm telling you...you will not believe your eyes or ears!"

"Do you mean Jackie Evancho? She's kind of why we're here."

"You KNOW about her? Oh, man! She's incredible She's going blow everyone who doesn't right out of their seats."

No mention of Lee Greenwood, Bret Michaels, Kevin Costner, American Idol Top 12, Matchbox Twenty, Kelly Clarkson or David Foster. And yes, Jackie got three standing ovations, and a number of outbursts from people who just couldn't contain themselves. When Kelly Clarkson took the stage, she just about summed it up:

"I hate following that little girl! Oh...my...goodness! She's Good!"

Jackie and Zach raced by my table at least four times before her performances, going out and coming back in the door behind me, and being just kids. It was good to see. Dave came up to me after one of their trips and said: "You should have been out in the lobby. Jackie and her brother were out there looking at the auction items while she was warming up. Everyone out there was just standing and listening. I'm just..." And he turned and walked away shaking his head.

Thanks to Trancas for posting that interesting story about the last year Celebrity Fight Night where he attended. Trancas also posted those two videos what Sylvester posted.

I just wanted to apologize for the video quality. I was seated at a back-row table, dead-center, but in front of the main entry/exit for the room, which had a lot of continuous traffic. I was bumped a lot by people trying to get around the line of red-dress ambassadors (Arizona pageant winners), who were lined-up next to me. I was also in front of a row of photographers who grumbled every time I stood-up to take pictures and got in front of me a few times. The third problem I had was a firmware glitch in my camera that allowed the audio and video to lose sync progressively as the file size increased. The problem didn't show on "O Mio Babbino Caro" nearly as much as it by the end of "All I Ask Of You". At least the audio quality was better than expected.

VLC player (free at http://www.videolan.org) allows you to change the delay on the audio to sync with the video. The videos however do need a trip though Final Cut Pro for correction. I just listen to the audio.
