Phillip Kennedy : It's intermission at the Fox Theatre this Sunday. We have a young girl performing named Jackie Evancho. She's 13 and has an incredible voice of a mature woman opera singer, in the soprano or mezzo-soprano range. An excellent orchestra of local musicians is supporting her awesome vocals. I knew she had been on America's Got Talent, but I sure didn't expect this much talent! If you enjoy great female singers, check her out. You won't be disappointed. Watch out, Sarah Brightman. This young lady is that good. Just one more example of the wide variety of entertainment I love as part of my job. Have a great Sunday evening. Peace 6 minutes ago - View -
Another comment from Phillip Kennedy: Phillip Kennedy She has the poise of an adult. I don't know if I'll get a chance to let her know how much I enjoyed her singing, but what a pleasure to listen to. If she heads a little more toward pop music, the sky's the limit for her career. And she's in about eighth grade!

Alan D Hull Jackie Evancho singing her signature song from AGT that made her an overnight sensation 4 years ago. From her concert at the Fox Theater last night. 'O mio babbino caro'. — with John Janci and Barb Jo at Fox Theater, Detroit. www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=639809669408041 (video) ---- Concert review from Amazon Board... Rick Olsen says: RE: Detroit Concert It's a good thing I left for the concert an hour and a half early. There was road construction on I96 and traffic was detoured south to I94. I've never gone into Detroit that way before and there were no signs for Comerica Park. There was a cop sitting in the meridian watching for speeders so I pulled in and asked him for directions. His directions were perfect and I got to the Fox in fifteen minutes. Fan Gathering: We had over 50 people for the fan gathering. The restaurant was kind of a sports bar and loud. The food and service were good. We played Jackie music while we ate. We had good conversation and enjoyed each other's company. I met a few people I have known, or known of, for three years. I sat with Sandra Festian and Pastor Jack (pjtowncrier) and Agog (Paul) came over and sat with us for awhile. I met Cynthia Moser and her mother who is 99. Everyone was so nice and friendly to me. We all had a great time. Oh, our group was alone in the upstairs dining room so we didn't bother any other patrons and they didn't bother us. Oh, they wanted me to say a few words, but I'm not good for that, so I got Sandra to do it. Then Pastor Jack said a nice prayer before we ate. It was great to be there. The Concert: PJ sat next to me. We got there early so I listened to the orchestra warm up. From my seat I could see in the wings backstage. I saw Jackie's manager, and Jackie, and Lisa backstage. Before she came on Lisa gave Jackie a big long hug. Then the concert started. The set list has been posted so I'll just say that the orchestra played a piece. Then Jackie came out wearing a beautiful red dress. It was form fitting and had a design down the right side of it that looked like diamonds to me. She was radiant. The first song she sang was When You wish Upon A Star. Then she told us she was singing songs from SFTSS and DWM. Maybe she didn't want us to expect something new. Jackie's voice was glorious. Her voice was so powerful that the sound system had a hard time handling her highs. Her lows were full and rich and smooth. Jackie had a good orchestra behind her and together with her beautiful voice the result was perfection. I've never heard her sound so good. Some singers sound better in the studio than they do live. Jackie doesn't have this handicap. She was breathtaking all the way through. After intermission Jackie came out wearing a peach colored sequined gown. With both dresses she was wearing two inch heels. Her first song was Lovers and it was unreal. I wanted to hear Jackie sing three songs last night. Lovers, Imaginer, and Impossible Dream. She sang all three of these plus she sang all three verses of Angel. I was beside myself. Jackie didn't talk much, but she did dedicate three songs. She dedicated What A Wonderful World to Mike. She dedicated Impossible Dream to Lisa. She dedicated My Heart will go On to her fans because she said this is how she loves her fans. Jackie said Music Of the Night is her favorite song to sing and it was the last song she sang. Jackie got two rousing extended Standing Ovations after both encores. We clapped and howled forever. People yelled out, "We love you Jackie!" and we all did and do love her. She didn't come out after the second encore and the concert was over much too soon. I gave one of my Jackie buttons to Guest Services and they took it back to Jackie. I hope she got it. Every fan needs to see and hear Jackie live. There is no substitute for the live experience. It was perfect! |
