I heard that after AGT Ellen contacted Mike and Lisa about an appearance but TE turned her down. Is that correct and if so why did they refuse to let Jackie appear??

Many fans of the time who might be able to recall have moved on. I seem to recall it was that Ellen wanted to select the songs for Jackie, but I'm not sure of that. There was some sort of controversy.

Like most everyone, I have no insider information of the "why" they turned down Ellen's request, ... but it could have been because Jackie had sent Ellen a video of her singing, hoping Ellen would invite her onto The Ellen Show before Jackie's AGT appearance, but the Evancho's got no reply from Ellen.

It just seems strange to me that Ellen hasn't reached out to Jackie since that time(that we know of anyway). It can't be that she doesn't like kids(like Letterman) b/c she's had Emily Bear and other children on her show. Doesn't make sense she wouldn't have the most beautiful singer with the most beautiful voice on her show.

Ellen's Producers wanted Jackie to sing a pop song. Lisa and Mike refused. Ellen's Producers cancelled her appearance. This from Lisa's mouth back in her Amazon days.

To bad they couldn't work out their differences between team Jackie and Ellen's producers.

Then Jackie would have had an appropriate boost and the show would have benefited. But, apparently they wanted what they wanted, period, which was for Jackie to compromise her art. Too bad. I think Lisa and Mike represented Jackie's dedication as a CC artist, with integrity.

I agree with you that it would have been compromising her art, but it is ironic that she wants to sing pop now.

The compromise could have been, Jackie singing a pop song using her classical voice. Just seems so logical.

One thing about Lisa's explanation doesn't completely ring true - This would've most likely been back in the pre-AGT days, which were also of course the PTAD days. There are several selections on PTAD that aren't strictly speaking "classical" or necessarily even CC.

I always thought it was really because Oprah got Jackie first and Ellen was miffed. But Lisa's was the official explanation. This was just after AGT. Jackie sang Pie Jesu on Oprah.

But post-AGT, when such an appearance might have been a possibility, Jackie's label seems to have wanted to keep her in the little girl does opera mode as much and as long as possible. Choosing who to keep happy, the label would tend to win.
