Full disclosure - I had no idea who Jackie Evancho was 30 minutes ago. When I Googled the name and images of someone who didn't look old enough to be in middle school popped up I was sure I had found the wrong Jackie Evancho. Then I listened to a few of her songs and was spellbound. 12 year old Jackie Evancho is a soprano phenom possessing a voice with a beautifully rich and resonant timbre the quality of cool mahogany. For those of you who don't follow all the countless reality television competitions, first of all - good for you. Second, to say that Evancho placed 2nd on the 5th season of America's Got Talent does not begin to reflect her meteoric catapulting into the hearts of viewers everywhere. I could go on with a list of accolades, the albums (yes plural) she's released, the people she's performed with. But all the promotional talk she really needs is a look at the two videos below. The first is a clip from one of her America's Got Talent performances, offering a glimpse into the charming youthfulness of Evancho in real life that hasn't been compromised by the rush of fame. The second has her singing a lush rendition of Sarah McLachlan's Angel. Also reflected in these two performances is the range of her repertoire, spanning both modern pop songs as well as delving deeply into classical and musical numbers. If you find yourself understandably hypnotized after watching the videos, then be sure to see her when she performs tonight at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra - tickets are any- where from $29.00 - $89.00, doors at 6:30pm, show at 7:30pm. link---> www.hiplanta.com/2012/06/tonight-jackie-evancho.html

Just got back to Fl. from the concert with my family........a surprise Father's Day gift. You can listen to her CD''s or watch her DVD's but to see her in person cannot be described in words. The booming pitch perfect voice that conveys such emotion with so much maturity to that cute, humble little girl jumping & skipping around blowing kisses & double waving is an incredible experience. Wish the concert never ended. All I can do to describe the magic of Jackie is quote something I read some time ago concerning her........."God wanted to show off & her gave us Jackie Evancho" I am blessed to be part of her journey.
