Jackie Evancho bringng her music home for the holidays By Renee Gendreau New Castle News Dec 6, 2018 Updated 3 hrs ago 0 Jackie Evancho Jackie Evancho will perform holiday classics as part of the Westminster College Celebrity Series Dec. 12 in Orr Auditorium. CONTRIBUTED Jackie Evancho thought she'd go back to her normal life.
But she doesn't mind that it never happened.
Now 18, the native of Pittsburgh's North Hills was only 10 when she appeared on "America's Got Talent," capturing the hearts of viewers and second-place honors.
"For so long before, maybe one or two years, I'd do little contests and go back to my normal life," Evancho recalled in a phone interview promoting her Dec. 12 concert as part of Westminster College's Celebrity Series. "I thought OK, I'll have fun and then continue the daily grind."
After her television appearance, Evancho's daily grind soon became a series of platinum and gold albums, a film role with Robert Redford and international appearances with the likes of Tony Bennett, Pacido Domingo and Barbra Streisand. The youngest artist to give a solo concert at New York's Lincoln Center, she's performed for presidents and the pope.
Noting that she has no regrets about missing her "normal" teenage years, Evancho said she's "grateful to have had the opportunity to see and do so many things."
But, she said in a conversation punctuated by girlish giggles, people still think of her as the little girl with the big voice.
"I get it all the time, people saying, 'Wait, you're Jackie? You're so tall,'" she said. "Sometimes I feel like I'm still proving myself, proving that the 10-year-old with the big voice really wasn't some kind of gimmick. But, I'm competitive, so it's become something like a little game."
Currently, Evancho splits her time between Pittsburgh and New York City but plans to make the Big Apple her permanent home after the new year.
Her latest album, "The Debut," is set to be released in February and Evancho plans to do more acting, both on stage as well as TV and film.
"I'm pursuing a little bit of everything. I guess I'm a Renaissance Man," she joked, saying she tries to cater to fans who like the "classic Jackie" as well as those who prefer the "pop Jackie."
As to which performing personality is her favorite, Evancho said, "I love them both. When I want something comfortable, it's classic; when I want to take a gamble, it's pop.
"I see myself continuing to perfect what I do, broadening my fan base and seeing where it all takes me," said Evancho whose holiday show includes classic songs as well as personal stories that "let (the audience) know me more."
Returning to the region for the Westminster concert, Evancho said she always enjoys performing for an audience filled with her Pittsburgh family and friends.
"It's like I'm singing in my living room," she said, noting that she still gets nervous even among familiar faces. "But that's a good thing. If I didn't get nervous, I'd be worried that I no longer cared about how I was doing."

" … Her latest album, "The Debut," is set to be released in February and Evancho plans to do more acting, both on stage as well as TV and film …"
"The Debut" seems to me to be an odd title for someone who has released as many albums as Jackie already has. All of her previous album titles had made sense.
