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.

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.

Well, saw her concert last night with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

If you get a chance, do go see her. She's an amazing little talent. And sooooo much better in person than any of the televised performances you've seen or heard. She's this incredible, charming, unassuming, child talent with an amazing voice. She stole our hearts during the show along with the hearts of almost everyone else in attendance.

Highly recommended!

Her's the only pic I could get with my phone:

Jim Taylor, on 03 June 2012 - 10:40 PM, said:
What a fantastic night. I did not have M&G tickets but the reports I have from those that did said it went quite fast. That's not my story so I will leave it to those that were fortunate enough to have had them. The orchestra played 2 arrangements, or at least I think there were 2, they kinda ran together. Sorry there was not a program so I don't know what the arrangements were.

I have to report that there were no songs from Jackie's up and coming album. It was pretty much the DWM lineup as from her previous concerts with slight variations. I'm not complaining though, Jackie was as good or better than I have ever heard her. I don't know how many seats there were at the Amphitheater there were some seats unsold but as I looked back over the audience it appeared to be a very large crowd and very impressive.

I was 2nd roll back in the pit very close to the stage. I was seat 3 and my granddaughter was seat 4. From my vantage point I could see Jackie at the end of the stage as she waved to some fans as the orchestra was playing. Jackie entered the stage wearing the same gold dress she in wearing on her fan forum. The same one where she is holding the bluebird. Her hair was styled the same as the style she has on her fan forum also. It appears that Jackie's hair has grown almost to the length as from the fan forum profile. My guess it was probably intentional to give Jackie the same appearance and if so they did a great job of it.

I have to say Jackie could not have been in better form. She sang with perfection. I have been now to 4 of Jackie's concerts and although they all were great this one tops them all. Her rich tone was fantastic on each and every song. Jackie looked so comfortable and confident as she commanded the stage.

The orchestra was great also. When it comes to orchestras playing for Jackie I'm am very critical and particular. As far as I could tell the conductor and they were right with on every note. I've seen from my experience that IMO sometimes the conductor and orchestra commands Jackie but this time Jackie commanded them. They stayed right with Jackie and they did wonderful together.

Jackie used a hand held mic on every song except "The Lord's Prayer" where she put it on the mic stand. She was most of the time close to the edge of the stage as she would stand in one spot for a time then she would move from one side of the stage to the other. I can't remember if she did this on every song but she did do it many times.

Jackie's song list in order was "lovers", "To Where You Are", "All I Ask Of You". Which as I said before was with such rich tone and perfect.

Jackie introduced Josh Page as he entered the stage and Jackie left the stage. I was there to see Jackie and although Josh is a great guy, Jackie seems to care for him quite a lot I was not that enthusiastic of seeing him. Josh sang "O Sole Mio" and I have to say he did a fantastic job of it. Maybe as good as I have ever heard.

Jackie came back on stage and sang "Imaginer" as perfect as I have ever heard her sing it. I especially like it more so this time around because she sang the part that Conrad had done in the original. There was a piano part and the pianist did a great job in his accompaniment. Jackie then sang "Nella Fantasia" which was so great for me because this was the first time I have ever heard her sing it live.

My memory is fading but I think it was at this time Josh reentered the stage and sang "You Raise Me Up". He did very good on it so I think I will leave it at that.

Jackie came back Jackie and finished her first half with "The Impossible Dream" and left the stage for intermission.

Second half the orchestra played what I was told a piece from Carmen.

Jackie enters and commands the stage with the same poise and confidence as she had in the first half. As the light was shining on Jackie and following her she looked radiant. Her first song was "When You Wish Upon A Star". Jackie sang this as good as I have ever heard her. She held that last note and it just like absorbed your whole being.

Jackie then sang "Vincent". Thereafter she again introduces Josh and he enters the stage. He sings a song I did not recognize but I have been told it was "Go The Distance". Josh remarked this was his first time performing it to a live audience.

Jackie reenters the stage and sets the mic stand closer to the edge of the stage and places her mic on it. She then sings a fantastic rendition of "The Lords Prayer". Jackie removes the mic from the stand and sings the full version on "Angel" as good as I have ever heard, all this time walking back and forth very close to the edge of the stage. I suppose it was as close as I have ever seen her at the concerts I have attended.

Jackie begins singing "The Prayer" alone on the stage and then Josh enters and joins her singing in Italian. They finish with great applause.

Jackie finishes with "O Mio Babbino Caro". I can't remember Jackie's exact words but she thanks every one for being there and says without us she would not be where she is today. Jackie thanks the orchestra and conductor and tells them how fantastic they were. She leaves the stage to a long standing ovation.

Not unexpected at least for me Jackie then reenters the stage sings an encore of "Pie Jesu" so hauntingly beautiful. Jackie jumps and kicks around waving to the audience and leaves the stage again to another standing ovation. Jackie then reenters the stage to one last curtain call putting an end to the best concert of Jackie's I personally have ever been to.

That's my story of Jackie and I know there is much more to be said as others will be telling of the things that have slipped my memory.

Another part of my personal story is I took my 5 year old granddaughter with me and for me was playing behind the scenes . There were still some tickets left so I bought another for my wife layla's grandmother in case there was an emergency and she had full access to the stadium. Layla stood up in her chair most of the time with her arm around me. She really did good and was enthusiastic when Jackie was singing. I'm embarrassed to say she held her hands over her ears all the time Josh was singing. I hope he understands she is just a feisty little girl. I only had one "pee" emergency and I called for her grandmother. As luck would have it this happened during one of the numbers Josh was singing. The second half Layla did good but toward the last part she began to act like she was conducting Jackie. For the most part it turned out well.

Just a little teaser from last night for now ...
Jackie was AWESOME last night. I know we fans keep saying that she's always better than the last time. A lot of that is hyperbole. How can she be better each time? But last night it was true. I've been to six concerts now and last night she was the best I've ever heard! She was as good or better than her studio recordings. Her voice is stronger, richer, just better all around. Her low notes are full and easy and, whatever changes she is experiencing in her voice, have done nothing to limit or change those incredibly rich high notes.

Her confidence on stage is growing. She was "large and in charge" last night. She just exuded comfort and confidence. There was no hesitation, not even a little falter. You'd think she had be walkiing out in front of thousands of people for 20 years instead of just about two years with most of her concerts in the last year. It shows in her patter and interactions with the audience, the conductor (John Mario Di Costanzo), the orchestra, and with Josh Page. She also waited for the orchestra playout to finish before relaxing and inviting the audience reaction.

She's developing a more mature stage presence but there was also TONS of the little girl still there. She twirled and curtsied. She hugged her arms to herself with that "gee whiz, thank you very much" kind of look. She threw her arms wide in the air, first the left, then the right. Sometimes she threw them both up in her exuberance. She threw kisses to the audience, one hand or both. She waved and interacted with some of the kids in the audience. She even gave a little boy (10ish in a blue blazer, khaki trousers, white shirt and tie) in the front row the heart sign. She did single waves and double waves. She would throw a kiss, leaping in the air and throwing hwe arms wide! She had a wonderful time up there and the audience reacted which made her interact more. She TRULY loves the claps!

Last night she proved to all who were there that she is not a novelty act destined to fade into obscurity but a bona fide superstar in the making and a telent to be reconed with.

But we all KNEW that!!

Love the way she's jumping up & down and blowing kisses to the crowd.
