Just back from the concert. WOW, this 65 year old feel 18 once again! Jackie packed the place, pressurised the interior and blew the roof off! She just keeps getting better and better. I noted quite a few younger folks this time around. Plenty of teens and some folks in their early 20 as well.

One side note: just prior to starting one of her songs, she decided to take a long drink of water. She twisted the cap off and it hit the floor somewhere behind her in the orchestra. Rather than leaving it, she bent over and began a very focused and successful extended search for the plastic cap. This generated some laughs from the audience. Just another example of who she really is. Can't leave trash on the floor... you know.

Every song was a home run! There were at least 4-5 standing ovation and two encores. The (Prayer) duet with Josh was icing on the cake. I'm not sure how long the standing O lasted after that one but it went on for quite some time. The Lords Prayer hooked me again!
Anyone thinking this kid is manufactured or is being pushed too far too fast simply isn't seeing what really is happening. Jackie is for real and living her dream. We'er all super lucky to be tagging along watching and enjoying. What an evening.

My experience hearing Jackie in San Diego Copley Symphony Hall 2/22/12 Weds. 7:30pm:

I left the house around 6:20pm & got to the concert around 6:45pm. We went into this parking area & as we were driving in, I saw Ian walking down hill. I told my mom that's my facebook friend & she rolled down the window & yelled out Ian, Ian, it's me Hung. At first he didn't hear us & we yelled again Ian, Ian. He look & said/wave hi. He said to park in the back somewhere so we proceeded to go to the back of the parking area. I said hi to Ian & shook his hand & introduce my mom to him & he shook her hand. This is the first time meeting Ian for me. I don't remember what we talk about & talked very little because I was so nervous. We walk into the concert hall & there were people waiting outside the actual concert/stage area. At this point, I was totally nervous & sweating perfusely & somehow lost Ian in the back somewhere. Again, when I am nervous I walk really fast. We waited but didn't see him anywhere. Me & my mom decided to sit on this fountain like thing on the floor & I saw Ian walk by. He went over to a couple of fans & I went over to say hi. Ian introduce me to the 5 people there & I met Kent Ringler & introduce myself & shook his hands. The other 4 people there I didn't know. Again, I was really nervous & went back to sitting down. Ian said to me lets take pictures after the concert & I agreed.

We went inside & was seated at 7:05pm. Again, extremely nervous & sweating but not that much. We sat in Y 107 & Y 108 1st floor & we could see the stage very clearly. I notice there were sound equipments 1 row behind me. No video cameras at all on the first floor. I don't know about the balcony though. Maybe Ian can fill you in on that one. Before show time, there were a few empty seats including two empty seats right in front of me. We were glad because we can see Jackie without heads obstructing our views. There were little girls & boys but more little girls.

The lights went dark & the conductor came out @ 7:32pm.

The orchestra played without Jackie from 7:34pm-7:42pm.

Jackie singing:

Jackie came out @ 7:44pm & I was mesmerized. I said to myself that's Jackie & I couldn't believe I am a hundred feet from her. I was immediately overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions. I literally had tears coming down my cheeks before she even sang. When she sang her first song "LOVERS" & hearing her voice live for the first time, I was an emotional wreck. This song is my all time favorite & it literally hit me like a ton of bricks. Jackie did an excellent job on this song & her voice was great. I had the tingles running from my head to my toes. After she finish LOVERS, there were a lot of applause but only 10 people stood up including myself.

Her next song was Ombra Mai Fu. Again her voice was exceptional and mermerizing. I had the tingles again from head to toes. Later songs includes Nella Fantasia, All I Ask Of You, Josh Page's "O Sole Mio", Imaginer, Josh Page's Anthem & Impossible Dream. Intermission after Impossible Dream @ around 8:30pm.

Jackie came back on stage & sang When You Wish Upon A Star @ 8:47pm, A Time For Us, Josh Page's You Raise Me Up, The Lord's Prayer, Angel @ 9:05pm, Prayer Jackie duet with Josh @ 9:11pm, O Mio Babbino Caro @ 9:18pm & Pie Jesu @ 9:21pm. The duet with Josh Page had everyone standing up and same for O Mio & Pie Jesu. Before the duet, there were 10 or so standing ovations. At the end of Pie Jesu, people were still standing & clapping & Jackie had to come back 2 or 3 times to wave & to say bye. When she walked off stage for the very last time, I was sad to see her go. I said to myself I will never she Jackie live again until I can attend one of her concerts again. I tried to savior every moment but everyone was right, it went by too fast. Throughout the concert, I was happy to see Jackie live & hear her sing live. Me & Ian took pictures together in the Hall & one with me & Kent Ringler. I talk to Kent for a few minutes & he was so nice. We went outside & I talk to Kent for a little while. At this point, it was very cold & me & Ian said bye to Kent. Me, my mom & Ian then walked to our cars & I chatted with him just a little bit. Then we said our good byes & I said nice to meet you & shook hands.

I had a lot of fun & I love Jackie much more now after the concert. The emotions that I felt hearing her sing live was out of this world. My soul was literally touched by an Angel & changed my life forever. Words alone can't explain what I felt during the concert. You just have to experience it for yourself to really know how it feels to be touched by an Angel. I applause her for singing in front of so many people & doing so well at it. She has to do that for a few more concerts like that. All in all, it was a great experience for me. I will attend one of her concerts again in San Diego or nearby. I want to attend the M&G next time.

Bloopers:
Before the start of a song, I can't remember which, the orchestra started playing as Jackie was walking on stage. She look at the conductor & did a hand gesture that she's not ready. I guess the conductor didn't see her & she made another hand gestures saying never mind & everyone started laughing.

Before she sang another song, she grabbed a bottle water, opened it & dropped the cap. She was looking for it for a good 3 or 4 seconds, saw it on the floor & picked it up. Her back was facing the audience as she was picking up the bottle cap. Everyone started laughing.

My wife and I were happy to meet all the fans at the Sixth Avenue Bistro, and inside Copley Hall. I hope you enjoyed your visit in San Diego, and Jackie's and Josh's performance at Copley.

I will let the enthusiastic well-written reports by fellow fans speak on my behalf of my response to the concert.

One of the things that made the concert memorable was the little endearing mistakes and Jackie's very human responses to them. Notable: The double wave - I'm not ready!! - to stop the conductor and music at the beginning of the Lord's Prayer, the dropping of the water bottle cap and frantic yet professional way she coped with it, and the inadvertently bumping her water bottle placed on the floor and her stage awareness to kick the bottle out of the way while she was singing. It's one thing to sing beautifully, its another thing to be aware of your surroundings and cope with the unexpected, and perform to the upmost with the time honored motto "the show must go on." To me, this demonstrates the professional Jackie has become. BTW, Jackie is the first performer that I have heard to beautifully sing in four different languages in one show. Not bad for an eleven-year old.

A quick observation - Josh Page, extremely talented and likely to be a music force in his own right, described how he was grateful for Josh Grobin's "discovery" of his talent, and how Jackie's tour provides him an opportunity to showcase his singing to the world. In Los Angeles, entertainment notables will be sitting in the audience. I hope he catches their eye and ear. Josh Page should sing in his Indio suit. Josh Page's outfit in San Diego did NOT allow him look as "sharp" as Indio.
