Age 12 Great artists interpret the world and life in unique and personal ways, seeing things abstractly, and with a disciplined approach bring their visions to reality as painting, sculpture, architecture or music. Vincent Van Gogh's "The Starry Night" is more than a painting. It is his soul exposed through the brush upon the canvas. And, Jackie's performance of the song is more than the melody. Music is a combination of mathematics and art, of structure and feeling. Jackie seems innately attuned to its complexity, able to grasp the essence of it and, with exceptional interpretive skill, brings a song to full inimitable expression with her voice. Jackie is a visionary who's discipline is yet undefined, but who's artistry seems boundless. I treasure Jackie as one who offers the authentic elegance of what to me is an ageless voice that brings me home to what is real. She possesses something wondrous and rare, and is compelled to share it honestly without contrivance. The superficiality of life easily distracts one from connecting with what is genuine, nourishes the soul and awakens the heart. May the youth of today discover the musical artistry of Jacquelin Marie Evancho and the purity of her voice. Now at age 17 Edit add I agree totally with your story about Jackie. The absint has helped Vincent to paint this painting. He used the absint as a selfmedication because there were no psychiatric medicins in that time. Absint has influens on the perceive of colors. Thank you, guus. That's interesting. What is your reference? I'd like to read about that.

Hello Cleonard. I have read it in a book written by Prof Dr Dick Swaab named our creative brain. How people and world create eachother. He is now retired and has time to write books. He has been many years the head of the dutch brain research institute and did alot of work for it.

Did not Lisa say something about Jackie not liking this song or to sing it ?? , she sings it very nice but i believe the author sings it ( Not voice ) best because he Sounds in these words that as he Knows or Aware where Vincent was in real deep depression of darkness on all subjects of no joyous colors and completely void of any positive feeling in his painting , any one who had or has real depression knows of the authors words .

He has been many years the head of the dutch brain research institute and did a lot of work for it. From brief research, I found the consensus is that Van Gogh did consume Absinthe to excess. Many other famous artists and writers were absinthe addicts as well. He suffered several disorders including epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and a few diseases in addition. It's a wonder he was functional at all, which makes his work that much more astounding. Considering the consistency of his technique and artistic vision, his unique expression must have come from a place within that was lucid and perceptive despite all else that would destroy him.

I don.t know very much about the personal live of Donmclean. He has written the song after he had read a book about Vincent van Gogh and he did it at a relative young age. So, I don't know if Donmclean did has expirience with depressions. It could be. But with empathy I think you become far. Especialy as you look back. I think Vincent van Gogh must have a hell of a life in his last years with very much inconveniences as well mental as physical He is a great artist but he was too a great alcoholist. Jackie was 9 years old as she sang starry starry night for the first time. Depression is a heavy topic for a 9 years old girl. But now at the age of 17 years old she is singing the song again in a beautiful way. She is now writing songs about insanity too.

Jackie said in her introduction, "When I first heard this song, I thought to myself..I have to sing this song". She sang it beautifully at 12 also, as seen above.

Yes you are right. His unique expression must have come from a place within that was lucid and perceptive despite all els that would destroy him. Vincent did have predisposed to insanity by his genes. There is a connection between creativity and insanity. It could be possible Jackie has the same kind of genes. So, I think it's very important for Jackie that she is going her own way. Her parents are doing all to feed her and her siblings up to persons with real confidence.

Relative to Van Gogh, the only indication of "insanity" that I see in Jackie is that she is hopelessly captured by the music, as she said, "possessed". I recognize that creativity and insanity may be closely related but not inseparable. Van Gogh was apparently divorced from reality at times, but I think Jackie will remain "grounded" to it in her ingenious way. But then, she hasn't experienced enough of life yet that would "blow her mind". Actually, I don't think of Jackie as a genius. In my view she is ingeniously insightful rather than ingeniously creative. But, what do I know. They say it takes one to know one, and I ain't one.

I believe that Jackie has a built-in skill to take any song and give it her own interpetation (which I think is where the genius lies) that captivates the listeners with the 'Jackie Effect'. She has had that gift from before AGT and continues to add that special something to every performance. If you really try to analyze the Two Hearts album, she is very subtlely giving the listener her entire range of genres and range, which just gives something for everyone. I have yet to hear any comments that they liked every song on the album. She is experimenting and still making her own niche in a very cutthroat industry. I for one will continue to be a fan and encourage her in any endeavor she chooses. As long as she is having fun and enjoying performing I will be there!

"...persons with real confidence.", by guus above. Good observation.
Jackie's Confidence - As I See It
Musically, Jackie's confidence manifests in various ways. Essentially, it comes from her innate ability to visualize the structure of a song (its chord progression, melodic intervals, dynamics etc.) and commit it to memory. Jackie seems born to understand music. She has said that she hasn't learned to read music score, so she must have a mental image of the song's structural character from having only heard it played or sung, thus "learning by ear and by heart". Her interpretive skill enables her then to perform the song with such insight that she confidently expresses her own feeling and emotion without having to think about the notes and where the song is going from beginning to end, but sees the whole at once. Therefore, the emotion comes spontaneously from her own heartfelt impression of what the song means as she sees it, a finished painting, as it were. But, in a way she "paints" the song for us. We hear the melodic progression, as brush strokes, from the anticipated first note, through the varying dynamics with her unique expressiveness, and those glorious high notes that give it that special "Jackie Effect"...with a silent and confident "voila!" at the end.
Jackie's musical prowess and confidence is evident also in her natural sense of timing and rhythm. She seems always connected with the instrumentation. Although at times, a conductor attuned to Jackie's interpretive sensitivity will graciously adapt to her presentation of a particularly emotive song. Never the less, she has been acclaimed for her special ability to coordinate with the orchestration, "making it easy and a delight to work with her"...at age 10 by the way. That synergy between Jackie and the orchestra is a result of her confidence as a vocalist and performer. Although, she would humbly give credit to the latter.
Confidence comes with knowledge and understanding. Lack of either will lead to uncertainty and confusion. Jackie seems never to be uncertain or confused about music and her ability to convey her impression of a song's poetry and message, even in various genres or languages. That kind of awareness and versatility comes from her sense of truth in music and an understanding of its common objective to tell a story in differing and unique ways. Her confidence manifests also in her ability to easily adapt her voice to the character of almost any song in that regard. An example is her portrayal of tender innocence in "Have You Ever Been In Love" compared with the romantic joy of "La Vie En Rose" in French, or the painful longing of "Mi Mancherai" in Italian. Confidence is one of Jackie's strengths as a vocalist, an essential and integral part of her character that has provided her the courage to become the consistent performer she is and has been since the beginning.

Both David Foster and John Mario di Costanzo in so many words commented upon Jackie's innate musicality in that she is gifted enough to interpret music to fit her understanding and her limited life experience. Jackie has amply demonstrated that although she does covers performed by others, the covers will be done her way as she does not want to simply duplicate what has already been done.

Breathtakingly exquisite performance with indescribable beauty and charm. She was definitely "in-the-zone." Hard to believe that was nearly four years ago....
