"If you hate the idea of cutting up this song, feel free to instead listen to the complete versions, URLed below. The point here is to compare three performances of David Foster's "The Prayer" first in 2010 when Jackie Evancho was 10 years old, on the America's Got Talent tour, second in 2012 after she had been touring her show for awhile, and was usually performing it as a duet with a guest; and third in 2016 as a guest on Fernando Varela's taping of his PBS show, "Coming Home". The point is to take a close look at her development of the piece, and as a performer. The line-by-line breaks down a bit towards the end as they are different arrangements; also the latest one is different in style, softer and less of a straight classical style." -Chris Hoover

Originally "The Prayer", written by David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager, was recorded as two separate solo versions, Dion's in English and Bocelli's in Italian. They appeared on the Quest for Camelot soundtrack in May 1998. The duet was included on albums by both artists, released a few months later on Sogno and These Times Are Special Times. Bocelli sung original Italian while Dion translated into English. The song won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song from the 1998 film Quest for Camelot, the second win in a row for a Celine Dion song. In that film, Dion sang it as a solo with slightly different lyrics. It was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1999 and a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals in 2000. Dion performed it with Bocelli at both ceremonies. -Wikipedia
To my knowledge, Jackie first recorded My Prayer for her "Prelude To A Dream" debut album at age 9 making her the youngest artist to record the song. Aside from having performed it consistently throughout her career as a solo, she recorded it in duet (non-live) with Susan Boyle, titled "A Mother's Prayer", for her "Dream With Me" album; and has performed it live with Cody Carey, Chris Dallo, Josh Page, Chris Mann, The Tenors, and Fernando Varela, to name those I recall.

Wow, that makes 3 out of 4 past or present members of FORTE. One of these days, she ought to do some song with all of them (or all the current ones). It'd almost be a reunion.

I found only her duet of "When I Fall In Love" with Matteo at the Bella Notte Serenata Charity event -March 15, 2018- presented by the Ocean Reef Community Foundation. Is there a set list that included "The Prayer", or a video of the performance there, or elswhere?

Perhaps when she was in Italy??? All I recall is it was a terrible "fan" video shaky and poor audio quality. Maybe I am mis-remembering it, happens more often these days.

It takes a lot of hit-and-miss searching starting with a vague recollection to eventually get all the information--song, event, date. It seems inevitable that one or the other will be wrong. That's what inspired me to compile a list, like Jackie's Duet Performances, with the willing assistance of members thankfully, so there would be a complete and accurate record.
Willyiam did a great job listing Appearances and Special Events that took a lot of investigation. And, CLeonard made a list of Accomplishments and Historical Events in Who Is Jackie Evancho that needs updates.
