This is an 11 yo Jackie singing Mi Mancherai from her Dream With Me In Concert album and, please indulge me, as many times as I have listened to this incredible performance, I still can't wrap my head around what this 11 yo had to learn to pull this off! I realize that this was not a paying audience, but an audience it was! Lets break this down; 1. At 11 yo, she could not read or understand the symbols on a sheet of music. 2. She did not speak Italian and had to learn how to pronounce the words with proper cadence and/or inflection. 3. She had to be taught and commit to memory how to sing the song, and at what note to continue singing after a pause. 4. She had to stand on a stage in front of an audience with no signs of stage fright and confidently sing into a microphone.
5. I'm sure David had a lot to do with how well she did, but what this child of 11 had to learn and performed perfectly, is simply astonishing.
Can anyone add some more?
Well, I guess no one is going to take me up on adding some more, so I'll finish this little exercise! The most equally astonishing aspect of this 11 yo child's performance, is that she repeated item,s 1 thru 5 above, 14 times! If you can, wrap you head around this:
1. When You Wish Upon A Star 2. Nella Fantasia (Italian Lyrics) 3. O Mio Babbino Caro (Italian Lyrics) 4. To Believe 5. Imaginer (French Lyrics) 6. Lovers 7. Dark Waltz 8. Angel 9. Somewhere 10. Mi Mancherai (Italian Lyrics) 11. Ombra Mai Fu (Italian Lyrics) 12. All I Ask of You 13. The Lord's Prayer 14. Dream With Me 15. Nessun Dorma (Italian Lyrics)
These are the songs Jackie performed in the PBS production of Dream With Me In Concert. Nine songs in English! Five songs in Italian! One song in French!
And all of these songs had to be learned and committed to memory by an 11 yo who could not read music and did not speak either French or Italian! And, in addition to this extraordinary list, she had little or no experience in behind the scenes musical production! Kudos to David Foster and Yvie Burnett for teaching Jackie the intricacies of how to perform each song! But, as you can't make a Horse drink, it was Jackie's gift that ultimately proved the success of this venture! AFAIC, The PBS production of Dream With Me In Concert is a masterpiece that should have had more peer recognition that it did!
Unfortunately Willy most people have moved on from the little girl with the big voice. That concept is no longer relevant and Jackie is trying hard to shake off that image. Jackie seems to be AWOL at the moment and showing total disregard for her few remaining loyal fans. Shame on her. 🙁

Shame on her. 🙁 What is unfortunate johnboy, is that you obviously don't have a large library of hundreds of videos showing Jackie performing from age 10 or 11 to the young woman of today (River)! What a shame that you can't go back in time and relish this gifted child as she grows into womanhood! What a shame that you can't relive the experience of her concerts that you attended by watching videos put up on Youtube by others! What a shame you can't go back in time and remember all the bumps she encountered along the way! What a shame that you can't savor the pureness of her voice as a child and compare that voice to what it has become today. Shame on you!
And if you do have a large library of hundreds of videos - WHY!

I have to agree with what johnnyb said. I am however willing to cut Jackie a little slack with her current "AWOL" status, not knowing if she is sick, working on a secret project, mabye in the process of moving, or something else. But she needs to let us fans know what's up pretty soon. She's only posted once each of the last two months...highly unusual for her. JACKIE WHERE ARE YOU? LOL

LOL She's three months away from officially an adult. Probably is going her own way (settling in New York?). I suspect she will be writing her own songs or finding someone who will. Her singing is unbeatable regardless.

The most inspiring, meaningful rendition of God Bless America I've ever heard during all my 77 years was Jackie's at the July 4 celebration at the Capitol in 2016. It was a song I never cared for because of Kate Smith's maudlin, syrupy long standing version. Jackie interpreted and projected exactly why Irving Berlin composed it nearly a 100 years before she sang it. Happy Independence Day.

One of the best renditions of the old Irish related ballad (actually of English origin), Danny Boy, ever. Over 4 million who watched this YouTube video agreed as did the over 2000 that commented. Happy St. Patrick's Day, my favorite of all feast days, to all.

As a matter of interest, this article lists the songs Jackie has covered in alphabetical order with the release date and original artist, from "All I Ask of You" to "Your Love"....88 songs in all....though not a complete list. The Jackie Evancho Danish Website lists under its LYRICS section 145 songs Jackie has sung/recorded, including those she has performed from the new album jackie-evancho.dk/index.htmlsecondhandsongs.com/artist/49601/covers

GUARDIAN ANGELS
"Guardian Angels" is a song by Harpo Marx and lyricist Gerda Beilenson (1903-1985) originally for the film War Bond Drive. The lyrics begin: "Guardian angels around my bed, Joining me in my prayers". Beilenson's husband was the Marx Brothers’ lawyer, Larry Beilenson, who showed the song to Mario Lanza who recorded it on his Christmas album in 1951. It was recorded by Plácido Domingo for his My Christmas album for Sony in 2014". (featuring Jackie Evancho) -Wikipedia
