Juliet not being there tells you what she thinks about Mr Trump indeed , no real surprise as she is 18 now and can say no , imo no way she would miss this event with her sister other wise and to be truthful no one knows how the entire family feels even Jackie except a few , could be a gig a minor can't turn down, one need not like a person or his ways to sing the NA at ones event for the country I think you are right, it would have been horrendous for a minor to turn down an opportunity like this. I give credit to Juliet for being diplomatic about it, and suspect she knows that Jackie's singing at the inauguration is not doing the transgender cause any harm, anyway. Those in the LGBT community who are up in arms about it don't have a leg to stand on. Here is Jackie (who everyone knows is entirely sympathetic to LGBT acceptance) standing proud and prominent in the eyes of the whole world. People will want to know more about her and the type of person she is. And if the Trump camp was as ruthlessly anti-gay as we hear, aware of her sympathies they would not have invited her in first place. To invite Jackie, at least some of them had to put their personal prejudices aside: so should the LGBT community.

I wonder how Jackie singing the NA is going over at school for both her and Juliet , one would think Juliet has let her friends know what she thinks of the man the event is for so what do the schoolmates and friends say to her , ? what are the comments to Jackie from the kids that do not like the man in the event or that do like , ? is she getting comments from both sides , Juliet when Jacob had some nasty words here and there but as Juliet not so much , well in public at least , the heart does not change if the body does one would think , any boy or girl going to public schools in this society of usa hears all kinds of foul words as thoughts indeed , the Evancho children hear it all knowing Pittsburgh , the life of Jackie has being made much larder in daily living because of her sister , it will change her in ways also , her life will never be the same again as some one said , it is a story yet to be told for the good or the not so good . She is growing up in all way very fast indeed and no one knows if dreams come true in her future but it will be interesting all the way from that little girl in the red dress with the cute giggle and only wanted to sing in a wonderland . I imagine the family talk over all the things that affect them as individuals and as a group. They seem to be a pretty strong family unit to me. Having a transgender sibling in the family I imagine would have been hard to come to terms with at first, but now they have accepted it it appears they are all moving on, with the family bonds intact. Personally, I don't think the transgender sibling thing is that big a deal, far too much is made out of it, but if it's made Jackie's life harder she doesn't appear to be showing any signs of it. Jackie's dreams seem to be coming true all the time. It's great to be a Jackie fan.

Yes but remember this new wave of fans was born of the Trump gig not the making of Jackie herself so one could say Politics did her good but she will take I am sure but the new album will need to live on it self or in other words be liked for her music not politics as how many on the left turns her off and how many on the right turn her on , it could be a balance in sales but not the best way for a artist of all people she desires imo BTW if her appearance on AGT 2016 did not gain fans nothing would , that may have been the best of Jackie as a teen but yet again she needs new eyes and ears That's the sad sack coming out in you again, Beachguy. I'm not saying I disagree with you entirely, but that is the nature of the game: entertainers are constantly looking for new engines to hitch their wagons to. A string of concerts in familiar territory isn't enough on its own, and with no profile generators like a studio album (for two years now) or a movie cameo, or a European (or world!) tour... this is what has been lacking in her career for some time. Not saying she hasn't been busy - for a school kid it is amazing she has done so much, but we all know there is so much more she can achieve when she decides to seize or make the opportunities.

If Jackie takes a walk in the woods does she think of all the written words from books made of trees , is there a author there in a forest deep in the earth , a poet writings under pages of loose piles of leafs fallen off branches to be carry in a breeze of old lines of poetry , tiny stains in natures ink from pointed pencil made of wood of limbs that can cut the wind of tales in mythical times of seasons to find swept into another time zone beneath this dirt she walks on , is it really a ancient library of old dead roots with volumes of wet moss under a mushroom field of pages with bookmarks lost in time , parchments scattered about on herbs of sweet odors where butterflies flutter and fireflies light the night as monks with torches with haunting luminescence over silent misty nights of passed , sacred words of books and shadows of eerie ghosts that once lived here , their stories crumbling as ash of age to dust , tales woven as silk webs to catch a eye of this ground of graves of books of dead memories thick in wet dew to be forgotten in the roots of seasons in a forest heaven of lost words of wood . I know posts like this are not common on Jackies' forum , most don't want to read silly or nonsense as this , it really had nothing to do with her BUT if she read it she might like it rather then the mush and gush she gets 24/7 , this takes a little more effort and time and care Definitely not silly or nonsense, Beachguy. This is rich with original imagery and again I'm impressed with your talent for it. Your best posts like this do Jackie a lot of credit.

Good diplomatic answer from Jackie about it. However, the ironic and sad fact is .... "the trolls" are mainly LGBQs who now somehow consider Jackie a "turncoat" for singing the National Anthem at the Inauguration because they hate Trump. What a mess. But very representative of the type of issues so viciously dividing the citizens of the United States today; ie cultural and moral issues and dilemmas which are upstream of ... and always at the heart of all politics. Jackie to me, on the occasion of the Inauguration of a U.S. President and leader of the free world, by singing its National Anthem as beautifully as very few of its citizens can, will represent to a terribly divided Nation ...... why and how its healing must soon begin. If some prefer that no one should sing at the new president's inauguration, they don't realise how bad that would be for everyone. The LBGT community and others critical should relax. Jackie's singing is an endorsement of nothing other than the country has a new leader and the ship of state rolls on. Donald Trump has a lot of strong opinions, as are there strong opinions of all kinds about him. When the spotlight falls on Jackie, people will want to know more about her and will learn that she has opinions too, including support for transgender people, Lyme's Disease sufferers and baby seals. She will not so much be there to advance Donald's causes as she will be to advance her own.

It's journalese, Beachguy, meant only to catch people's attention. And to those Jackie fans with low or normal blood pressure ... a quick way to develop hypertension. It's like saying "the greatest show on Earth" to hook people's interest - but you take it with a grain of salt.

Here's just one example of way too many of these kind of comments appearing today on two of Jackie's Instagram pages after she proudly announced on the Today show she was chosen to sing at the President's Inauguration. Appalling stuff.
"roses4every1 .... She's a sell out for singing for trump trying to get famous much little bitch?"
To roses4every1 ... except 16 year old patriots like Jackie: It's America you pedo creep. Please love it .... or leave it. And please .... please let the door hit your big smellly ass on the way out. I hear North Korea is lovely this time of year and would welcome your kind with open arms.
How? For singing the national anthem? She's not campaigning for Trump. The election is over. She didn't campaign or sing for any of the candidates. Awful to see those spiteful comments on her Social Media that are very disrespectful.

themighty.com/2016/12/jackie-evancho-americas-got-talent-lyme-disease/How does the voice and talent of this genuine, humble teenager help me fight Lyme disease?Her soothing voice helps me relax when I am crying, makes me happy when I am sad, and happier when I am happy. Her music helps me fall asleep. Watching her sing on YouTube from as young as 8 to her current videos, I am astonished and overjoyed by the maturity of such a gifted child. Her personality and voice lights up the room ... ... I am a 19-year-old girl inspired by a 16-year-old soprano musical genius. She gives me hope, faith, and helps me keep fighting. For anyone struggling with any chronic illness, I highly encourage you to check out the gorgeous music of Jackie Evancho. It’s amazing how her music on my phone and watching her humble interviews has helped me fight Lyme. She once came upon one of my YouTube videos where I had her music playing in the background and said she is praying for everyone with Lyme disease. I couldn’t believe it! Thanks to Jackie Evancho, my hard mornings are less stressful, my nights are more peaceful, and my long car rides are more joyful. She keeps me going during the toughest of times and one day I hope I can meet her to tell her how much she has had an impact on my life! I want to fully endorse what this young lady says. Lymes Disease is not recognised in my country. Here, if you suffer from what is called Lymes Disease it would more likely be diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalitis. That has been my personal ordeal for the past 26 unremitting years. Jackie and her music and the things she stands for are bright lights in a dark world for me. If that's over the top then so be it.

Been on and read all Jackie forums and for sure these small groups of hard core type older fans are star stuck into Jackie is the greatest thing on earth , something she would laugh at , she doesn't think her voice is very good , not as people think in their minds , duh , she is having a hard time getting 600 hundred at a concert , duh , her albums are not selling as the wonder or greatest non her next one , are these people just lost in memories or just don't live in real world but a 8th wonder-world , O BROTHER , post on ones of out of this world A man once said kids say the funnest things , perhaps adults say the funnest things , hold on blokes and lassies as your pipe dreams are not true yet I haven't been a Jackie fan long enough to be lost in memories of her. The first five or six years of her career were all brand new to me when I first noticed. You refer a lot to over the top fans. I'm not sure I know what you mean. I see some what I would call over the top comments occasionally on You Tube and on Facebook, but I don't see any here or on Rick's forum: what I see is a lot of appreciation for Jackie's talents by people who find her inspiring and hope for her future success. If I see over the top posts here they are usually your ones banging on about problems with Jackie's career and what you think other people think of her. People use superlatives to express feelings for which there are no words. I haven't yet come across anyone who seriously thinks she's the 8th wonder of the world. You worry too much. Let her do the worrying about her career. When you go on like that you sound like an old woman. At other times you're brilliant. Jackie obviously inspires you; I think very highly of your creative expressions and hope you continue with them.

The Book > part 6 Whether she provoked these bullies or not ,they keep happening , she didn't like to fight , what if there were spells to keep things from hurting me an my sisters an brother at school , she scowled at herself in contempt for actually believing for a moment that could be possible be more than a elaborate joke , she thinks what if ? , now at home she sits against the headboard of her bed , why not ? who knows what kinds of spells you could do , maybe I could turn Joanne into a duck , quack quack , anyway you can't do the spells until you've taken the Oath , but once you've taken it , that's supposed to be forever , yikes , come on now , it's a joke , what harm can there be in saying the words if it's a joke ? , but if not then i'll be a wizard , her father asked " is there something going on that I should know about " ? , Huh , Uh , no sir , the book lay there on her bed and stared at her daring to do something childlike , something silly , something absolutely ridiculous , she opened the book at random and the page to which she opened there was the Oath it stood there in plain block of type all by itself , looking serious and important , before she could feel silly she started to read it out loud > to be continued Beachguy, what's happened to "The Book"? You haven't given up on it, I hope...

I personally don't think it's a fair comparison between Jackie and Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Beyonce etc. Those are megastar women with long established careers built more on their strong personalities than on the quality of their songs and singing. Jackie's career is built more on the effect of her astonishingly beautiful voice and sensitive interpretations than it is on projections of her personality. If she only had a voice that was good but not great (like many of the big name pop stars), without an inner "Sascha Fierce" I doubt it would be worth trying to emulate the big names. Jackie's pristine voice took her straight to the top as a ten year old - a breathtaking achievement. She sings more beautifully than anyone the most beautiful songs ever written. The big name pop stars are all very attractive and entertaining, but I don't get from any of them what I get from Jackie, which is something on another level than just entertainment.

Fair point, Beachguy. To be a writer is to be a risk taker. Every time the writer puts thoughts down into words they are grabbing the bull by the horns. That's what I respect about you - your commitment to your ideas. It might come from the old street-fighter in you (and, for that matter, the old fist-fighter in Cas43: you two do have something in common, I think). I got to agree with you BG, you are mostly baiting. Shock Jock also describes you, posting what gets a rise, not what is necessarily true (like Trump as you mentioned). You too have never posted a link to back up what you say. When one of us rises to your bait, your main reply is along the lines of . . . Gotcha, musher-gusher. Beachguy you may actually have some heart for Jackie, as deeply buried as it seems. After all, just Troll fishing for us musher-gushers must be a bore by now, we "rise" to your bait so easily. Your Jackie poetry can be really good, stick to it. Don www.academia.edu/3787503/To_write_as_a_bullfighter

Jackie and her song > what is a song , or her song , is it a series of words together to fit nicely with ease as fluid from a pen taken from her lips , or fall off her tongue these wrote of expressions from her heart or mind as one , perhaps desires from a dream or a tear of pain or even anger fills the lines on paper , to tell a story across the white paper as music at ones command is not without stress at times , the melody can stray and the words can stop in racing thoughts at any time , she is not a playwright but a artist singing on her stage , if she could write about her life as a song , her destiny of wishes or dreams to what music would she sing on stage , will she rewrite her song of life or is there a set role written for her , only time will answer any questions of this lovely young song writer of fine sound . On fire, Beachguy, on fire...
