Thanks for picking up on that MartinUK - I'd completely missed it. Also - isn't he @realdonaldtrump? I.e., not djtrump, but donald spelled out? [Edit: I checked. It's @realdonaldtrump - spelled out.] There seems to be no end to fake news, trolling & general stirring up online... Take note that Jackie's Twitter account has the blue circle with a check in it to verify that this celebrity has been verified. The fake Trump does not have that. Another good point, Jack. I missed that one too. Real celebrities usually have that blue check.

I wonder where everyone went. When she was seated there were people all around her.

I wonder where everyone went. When she was seated there were people all around her. No so. She was seated at 10:15 and was one of the first to arrive, even before the clergy. Just the start of the 2 hour 15 minute 'cool-down' before performing. IMHO very shabby treatment of any singer, especially our Jackie!

"I don't do politics." --Jackie Evancho Perhaps that will not preclude her from being appointed ambassador one day. Some believe she fulfills that vocation already.... Somebody help me. I think Jackie is already an Ambassador for the SPCA, from when she was actively supporting SAVE THE SEALS. Somewhere there is an old video of her with a stuffed baby seal in her pocket. Found it...
There is also her performance in St. Petersburg Russia when she was the United States representative. (Another huge audience.) I think she was only twelve at that time. June 20, 2012.
I can definitely see her doing a world tour in the next couple of years. Spreading joy, love and hope throughout the world!

"I don't do politics." --Jackie Evancho Perhaps that will not preclude her from being appointed ambassador one day. Some believe she fulfills that vocation already.... To begin with, this is an attempt to defend Jackie(not that she really needs it, though). And I am not saying you meant this post as negative. It did pique my curiosity, however. So I went to Merriam's website to get a definition of "politics": Definition of politics
1 a : the art or science of government b : the art or science concerned with guiding or influencing governmental policy c : the art or science concerned with winning and holding control over a government
2 political actions, practices, or policies
3 a : political affairs or business; especially : competition between competing interest groups or individuals for power and leadership (as in a government) b : political life especially as a principal activity or profession c : political activities characterized by artful and often dishonest practices
4 the political opinions or sympathies of a person
5 a : the total complex of relations between people living in society b : relations or conduct in a particular area of experience especially as seen or dealt with from a political point of view <office politics> <ethnic politics>
So, even armed with professional and technical definition, IMO all one can say is "I don't do politics" means "I'm just doing my thing" or perhaps, as New Yorkers might say, "Hey, I'm walkin' here!". I hope this confuses any clarification.

I wonder who the USAF senior officer was that tapped her on the shoulder (to no doubt offer congratulations).

I am impressed that she could stand with high heels on a small box. I suppose that even at 16 she is used to heels, but it seems like it would invite disaster like forgetting that she was on the box when she finished singing.

Nah, Jackie is an old pro at standing and singing on those boxes, she has been since AGT.

Thanks Rick, Being retired from the USAF, I'm proud he took the extra effort to speak to her... and real happy The Force was with her.
