Photos: Jackie Evancho shines with David Foster at Mandalay BayDavid Foster in concert with Jackie Evancho, Cody Carey and Kenny G, with a guest appearance by Dr. Phil McGraw, at Mandalay Bay Events Center on Dec. 29, 2011. By Robin Leach (contact) Friday, Dec. 30, 2011 | 12:09 p.m. Pint-sized 11-year-old Jackie Evancho won numerous standing ovations for her magical and memorable performance with hit-maker David Foster at their Mandalay Bay concert Thursday night. Contributing photographer Tom Donoghue was given special up-close rehearsal and performance access exclusively for our incredible Vegas DeLuxe photo galleries.
The tiny, one-time “America’s Got Talent” contestant simply mesmerized the audience who sat silently as she worked her way through an hour of classics and pop-opera winners. Then they exploded each time she finished, jumping to their feet with thunderous applause and cheers. Jackie was beyond brilliant!
For fun, producer and songwriter David talked her into trying a Britney Spears number for the first time after she revealed that she secretly listens to heavy metal at home! She managed five bars of “Piece of Me” before giggling hopelessly.
Jazz saxophonist Kenny G was a surprise performer and told the audience that he’d piloted his own single-engine, prop-water floatplane over to Las Vegas that took just over 2 hours. David had the entire audience sing “Happy Birthday” to Dr. Phil McGraw’s wife Robin McGraw. David also revealed that the choral ensemble and all the musicians onstage accept his drummer were Las Vegas residents, and that brought more cheers.
The funniest moment of the night was when David implored Dr. Phil to pick somebody at random and solve his or her problems within 30 seconds. The TV star said he had to look no further than David to ask why it took him three failed marriages to find the woman of his dreams in fourth wife Yolanda!
Backstage, David told me that he’s planning on several Las Vegas shows next year but is hoping that, as much as he loves Mandalay Bay Events Center, to find a smaller intimate, space so he can expand the number of talent search chances he gives to audience members.

Jackie Evancho Can 'Hold Her Own Doing An Entire Show'Jackie Evancho shows off her rosy dress as she performs on stage at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Las Vegas for a David Foster & Friends Concert on Thursday night (December 29). The 11-year-old musician actually performed more than David Foster at the event! He told the Las Vegas Sun of Jackie, “The evening is all about her. She can hold her own doing an entire show, but I’m giving her the hour.” Jackie also spoke with PressofAtlanticCity.com about finding her lifelong career at such a young age. “I think that singing is going to be my career and my passion for as long as I live. I would like to bring up awareness with my music, awareness of everything that’s happening in the world nowadays with pollution and animals being killed,” she said. 20+ pics inside… justjaredjr.buzznet.com/2011/12/30/jackie-evancho-can-hold-her-own-doing-an-entire-show/Photo gallery: justjaredjr.buzznet.com/photo-gallery/453423/jackie-evancho-foster-friends-01/

I can only add a few observations to Trancas' excellent review. Nobody in the audience knew she was sick, and they were absolutely RAVING after it was over. Jackie was phenomenal, magnificent, and apparently, heroic. Jackie has Tweeted she was not happy with her performance; it is good to know that an artist of such prodigious talent has ethics that will never allow her to just "phone it in".
