This AGT franchise could do really well in China. It has for years, I believe, but it is the first time for the new "Champions" concept there. Apparently, "AGT, The Champions" did so well ratings-wise in the US, that he's going to try to have it in each country. Except that I thought the AGT one was supposed to be WW Champions? Oh well, logic doesn't count. Actually, smart, because summer is usually slow for TV entertainment. More money for the Cowell empire.

Alex Magala: "This is my 11th Got Talent Show." Alexandr Magala (born 24 June 1989 in Orhei) is a Moldovan entertainer and sword swallower who won Russia's Got Talent in 2014. He was also a finalist on Britain's Got Talent and Italia's Got Talent, a semi-finalist on Ukraine's Got Talent, and a quarter-finalist on America's Got Talent. Magala was born to a poor family in Orhei, the administrative center of Orhei District in Moldova, with a population of 32,000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Magala

Jackie in China ... … Our show will be aired on most watched TV channel on the planet #hunantv with approximate view count of 160 Millions ...I wonder why this was such a big secret, you would think they would want all the publicity they could get. I thought it might have been contractual, but obviously Magala, the sword swallower, who was also on AGT Champs with Jackie, didn't get the message. The nice thing about Chinese TV, especially the Got Talent franchise, is they DO get an audience in the 100s of millions. I know the Chinese physical album market was always dodgy, because cut rate counterfeits were sold next to the real thing in music stores. Maybe that's not true anymore and also don't suppose it's even possible with the rise of streaming. If Jackie can make a real impression on China, it would certainly be a big lift for her nascent adult career.

Some years ago British exchange student Mary-Jess Leaverland wins Chinese X Factor. I recall that she received something close to 80 million telephone votes which makes the North American talent shows and the EU Talent shows combined somewhat small incomparison. One area of talent that will not fly well in China is heavy rock, Rap etc as the Chinese are more attracted to classical music. I believe that competitive ballroom dancing would be well received there like when it was quite popular in the 1930's - 1950's.

Jackie Evancho struck child-star fame on 'America's Got Talent.' Now, she's growing up.Maeve McDermott USA TODAY Published 9:00 AM EDT Apr 10, 2019Jackie Evancho KMJPRJackie Evancho is celebrating her album release week in a way that'd make any star with a booked-solid schedule jealous – by heading back to her hometown. USA TODAY caught up with the "America's Got Talent" winner on the eve of her 19th birthday as she traveled to her family home in Pittsburgh to celebrate with them. Evancho, who has been a full-time New Yorker since January in between her tour dates and recent appearances on "America's Got Talent: The Champions," has a new album of modern Broadway covers, "The Debut," out Friday. The album features songs from "Rent" and "Wicked" as well as her take on "The Greatest Showman" hit "A Million Dreams." "The Debut" follows her 2017 release "Two Hearts," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Albums chart, marking Evancho's seventh consecutive release to reach the top of that chart. Fans got a taste of what's to come with Evancho's new music video, which was released Tuesday, for her cover of the "Hamilton" tear-jerker "Burn." "I basically took a really famous song and I kind of put a modern twist to it because it's basically older-fashioned," she said about her take on "Burn" before acknowledging the difficulties of winning over younger listeners with her music. "It's really fun and challenging, but it can be frustrating sometimes because when you devote yourself – I try to, at least – to making really quality artwork and music that can reach a younger audience, it's hard when they're not listening," she said. "And it's hard to figure out how to make them listen. So honestly, I just decided that I'm going to do whatever my heart tells me to do, artistically, and whoever jumps on the bandwagon will jump on the bandwagon." Evancho, with a discography dominated by Broadway and contemporary classical, is still familiar to mainstream audiences, largely because of "America's Got Talent," in which she became the show's youngest finalist in 2010, finishing in second place at the age of 10. Evancho talks inauguration performance: 'It's not about the politics' Jackie Evancho to Trump: Meet with me and transgender sister In 2017, she sang the National Anthem at President Donald Trump's inauguration, gaining name recognition among new listeners while alienating some others who saw her decision to perform as offensive to her LGBTQ fans. Evancho says she regrets the damage caused by her appearance at the inauguration, a decision she says was made collectively by her team and not solely by her. "I definitely do have some things that I really wish that I could go back and change or fix, especially with my influence with the LGBTQ community," she said. "Because ever since I sang at the inauguration, they feel like I'm not with them, but I absolutely am and I'm frustrated with the fact that it changed their opinions of me. And I just want them to know that I do advocate for them wholeheartedly and I support them completely." "It was (difficult to navigate)," she added. "It wasn't really my decision, it was a decision made by my team, so I kind of just had to go with it."

Instances like the inauguration contributed to Evancho's decision, once she turned 18, to assume greater creative control over her art and career. She moved to New York and opened up in interviews and Facebook posts about the challenges she faced as a child star, from struggling with an eating disorder to encountering stalkers and dangerous male figures. Now, she says she feels empowered when fans support her on social media, admitting that she does still monitor her accounts and read comments about her, even when they're hateful. "It's great to have the support of everybody, but there are still some of those really annoying people out there who are like, 'Oh, you have an eating disorder? Poor American princess.' Stuff like that, and I know I'm still gonna get it, everybody gets hate when you're in the public eye, and you can't please everyone. But I just wish it wasn't necessary to them to have to say it." Evancho is planning for a big 2019, full of making music, working on her paintings – one of her favorite non-musical endeavors – and plotting her future entertainment-industry domination. "I hope that people start to take me more seriously because they're still adjusting to the idea that I'm now an adult and being an artist and that I have creative ideas that I want to get out to the world," she said. "So hopefully, for 2019 I'll be able to get those ideas out. I mean it's not just music – it's also makeup and clothing and stuff like that I really want to be able to create my own empire."

Article in The New York Daily News: www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/ny-jackie-evancho-20190412-cfrw3drbefej3nvlaha3sxo7iy-story.html...The powerhouse vocalist shot to fame as a 10-year-old finalist on “America’s Got Talent” and later sang at President Trump’s inauguration at 16 — a performance that didn’t bring the outcome she hoped for. She recently celebrated her 19th birthday and is releasing her first album as an adult, “The Debut,” on Friday. She’s eager to be recognized as more than just a young performer with a big voice. “This is the first album where I was actually able to speak my mind, and people listened,” Evancho tells the Daily News. “You’ll be able to see a bit of my ideas as an artist, rather than just a singer. “I spoke my mind a lot (in the past),” she adds. "But no one really wants to take a 10-year-old seriously.” The album is a departure from the classical crossover music she became known for in her youth. “The Debut” is comprised of Broadway numbers, each of which Evancho selected herself and put her own spin on. “I really want to know what else my voice can do,” she explained. “I knew I could sing when I was 10, but I didn’t know what else my voice could do. It developed into different things and I found out that I have a pop voice now. Really, I don’t want to limit myself to one specific genre.” Evancho, who hails from Pittsburgh, grew up in the spotlight. She’s churned out at least one album every two years since her first in 2009 and regularly hits the road for live performances. Going through childhood in the public eye had its pros and cons, says Evancho, who acknowledges there are “crazy people in the world” with bad intentions. But she also relished the opportunity to see the world in a way that most kids don’t get to....
