Just my view, Some may be disappointed to learn Jackie has recorded musicals, because they either have an aversion to Broadway or just don't want to hear anything that deviates from their preferences. We don't know yet what song choices she has made, but it ought to be expected that she will have performed them with her own interpretation, characteristic finesse and, of course, that beautiful tone. I guess your enjoyment of the new album or lack of it will depend upon whether you really listen to Jackie's vocals or dismiss them because of a dislike for the genre. Jackie has recorded a few songs that I don't particularly care for, but I thoroughly enjoy listening to her sing them. It's like others have felt about her performances of her arias, their distaste for opera having been dispelled by her innocence, the purity of her untrained voice and her enthusiasm to express the emotion. Her treatment of contemporary musicals may change your perception. What I appreciate as much as Jackie's voice is her desire to experiment and explore, to challenge herself, and to challenge us as well to listen with discernment rather than judgement. Jackie sings what has inspired her, and that is the essence of true art. For me, it's not a matter of what songs she sings, but how she sings them. Anything from opera to the religious to classical pop to movie themes to jazz to musicals, it's all about vocal artistry. And, Jackie is one of the finest and most versatile vocalists we have the opportunity to appreciate today. Give this album your honest indulgence in the art of listening, and perhaps you'll appreciate what she is offering. lawrence: I don't understand how there could possibly be negativity against Jackie's new album, when we have no idea what cuts are on the album, or whether or not we will enjoy them! How can an opinion be made, when it is still a mystery what songs she will be singing. "Dream With Me" and "Songs From The Silver Screen" contains Classical, Broadway, Movie and Pop songs and I could and have listened to them all day. "Awakening" treats us to an equal mix and even though there are some cuts that don't float my boat, like you, I thoroughly enjoy listening to her sing them. Let's give "New American Songbook" a chance!

Agog, You don't think Jackie's chose Two Hearts and the song selections, after all the times she said how she wanted to express her divided love for CC and pop? I don't know lawrence. It's impossible to say what influence the label weilded and how much weight they gave to whatever input Jackie put forward. Wasn't there a song written by Jackie that didn't make the final cut? Jackie said it would be on the album iirc.

When Jackie recorded the pop songs she wasn't with a label, but after the enormous PR she got from the Inauguration Masterworks signed her again, and probably chose most, if not all, of the rest of the tracks. They struck a deal. If she's with a label now I'm sure they'll want her input, but they'll have the final say. As of now she doesn't have the clout to call the shots.

A great example is the song "Hello" as sung by Lionel Richie. Then we have the song "Hello" as sung by Adele. Thanks geb. Everyone here is probably familiar with both of those songs as they both had plenty of airplay. Jackie could do a superb job on either. It may be a little early to cover Adele's version. It was a hit only a couple of years ago. That's the one I'd prefer Jackie to cover because it is popular with today's younger music audience. Sia, that young wildly popular dancer, collaborates with Adele in many videos. The young crowd love her too. For these reasons Adele's version gets my vote. What's that you say? I don't have a vote? Oh yeah. Reality. agog, Sia does not dance on Adele's videos. Maddie Ziegler dances on Sia's videos.

I still wasn't sure just what I got wrong so I left it alone hoping no one would notice. I'm so embarrassed! But it's not the first time. I can live with it.

Jackie Evancho, the 18 year-old American classical crossover sensation that gained wide recognition at an early age, makes her Capitol Theatre debut! With her upcoming new album and tour, The New American Songbook, the multi-platinum recording artist will match her extraordinary voice with one of most exciting reemerging genres in popular music today. With songs from breakthrough musicals such as Hamilton, Dear Evan Hanson, Waitress, Once, The Band’s Visit, Wicked, and Spring Awakening, and hit films like The Greatest Showman and La La Land, the New American Songbook has permeated mainstream culture – building its already-impassioned musical theatre audiences while cultivating a brand new generation of ultra-engaged young fans.
Hmmm. 🤔

Hmmm. 🤔 Johnny, if I know what you're wondering about, I think the writer was referring to the "Great American Songbook" as having permeated mainstream culture...... I questioned that statement myself but immediately dismissed it as an oversight. That certainly could not have referred to Jackie's album because it has barely permeated the imagination at this point.

Who has confirmed the title of the new album will be called "New American Songbook" Well, it hasn't been confirmed publicly by Jackie, but why would someone just make it up for this promotion as a title for an album and tour? I would imagine it was obtained from Jackie's end just as the Vacaville Performing Arts Theater promotional video had a source as well for announcing that Jackie had made an album of Broadway songs to be released.

Sounds to me that could be what they are calling this "New" so called "tour" Coming up. I have to question does one concert a month quantify as being a "Tour". 🤔

I understand the tour doesn't begin until her concert at the Capitol Theater in Clearwater, FL on March 16th. There's plenty of time for the concerts schedule to be updated with additions. I think a tour just means traveling to different venues with an album and the same, or relatively same, set list. I don't know that there is a minimum monthly requirement to qualify as a tour.
Heck, all we have is second hand information from the Vacaville PAT, Capitol Theater, and hints form Germano Studios with regard to the new album, and a bunch of assumptions. We'll just have to wait for Jackie to make an announcement.

As of now she doesn't have the clout to call the shots.I'm not knowledgeable in these matters. Help me understand. When Jackie decides to make an album, how much and what kind of "clout" does she need to make her own song choices for recording? And, when might she obtain it?
Some have said that since Jackie became a legal adult, she is in control of her career and is now "calling the shots". There seems a contradiction. Indications are that Andre Danek has produced the new album at Germano Studios and that it is complete with title. Whether or not Jackie has a label at present is unknown, at least to me. If she didn't at the time of recording, then wouldn't she have been seeking a label/distributor to accept it as recorded?
