This was how Jackie first appeared as a guest on the 2014 show, where many fans had tuned in, excited, having heard she would be on, but not knowing exactly what she was going to do. I don't know about you, but I got a little frisson when I saw her sitting quietly there in that magnif blue dress!

And the performance. I've heard it said it wasn't her best performance of Think of me, but the staging was spectacular, and fans were thrilled and proud.

Have to agree that this performance was not her best performance of ToM. She botched the ending slightly.

Have to agree that this performance was not her best performance of ToM. She botched the ending slightly. I have always wished they had put Con Te Partiro on Awakening instead of Think Of Me. I think it is a better song and it shows off Jackie's voice better. But they did need a song from POTO.

I am hoping that one day Jackie will record a solo version of "Con Te Partiro" again in her more mature voice. We've had kind of a taste of it in the duet performances with Bocelli, but I want to hear her doing it by herself again, as in that earlier recording. I love, love that song! As for songs from "Phantom of the Opera," Jackie seems to have made it her "thing" to include at least one song from POTO on each of her albums. Looking forward to what we get the next time around!

Getting back to the topic of Jackie's appearance on AGT in 2014, I'll bet a lot of people in the viewing audience were really surprised to see how much she had grown up -- no longer the little ten-year-old girl, but still having that incredible, golden voice.

I too would love to hear CTP with Jackie's current voice. But on AGT they had limited time, so CTP/TTSGB was shortened & sped up. I have to confess I've always preferred the up-tempo version rather than the slow ballad type song it usually is. It really blew the roof off on the original AGT. JMHO!

I thought she sang it even better when she sang with Sarah Brightman. Jackie was improving fast. She also knew better than to try to hold the last note too long, as in the competition when she ran out of air. You would think that little glitch would have convinced all those people who thought she was lip-synching. Humans have an amazing ability to believe what they want to, despite evidence. her giggle just after was priceless- then she looked a little worried about what the judges would say, until they started gushing! But I think neither the judges or the audience heard the glitch in the theater, because they were already going bananas!
