This is now history. So far Jackie has surpassed our expectations as we have been privileged to witness her growth from a tiny child with a big voice to one of the greatest singers of this age.

This one of a series of music and educational videos produced by Kids2Classic. They are a great help to anyone, such as myself, who is not a music expert, in understanding voice types and some music genres. They used Jackie as an example here and in two more that use Jackie as an example along with other singers and are related to Jackie's voice type. They are low volume obscure videos but very useful to any Jackie fans or guests who haven't yet seen them. They were mentioned on old Proboards Forums.
They are: Voice Types 1 - Zulu to Jackie Evancho Bel Canto - Jackie Evancho - Voice Types 2
There is a third video unrelated to Jackie which is also very interesting: Voice Types 3 - The Billion Hit Tenors
The videos help explain that Jackie's voice is a very rare pure crystalline operatic type voice but that she is not an opera singer.
The fact that Jackie was mislabeled as an opera singer by ignorant media and the unknowing public helped inspire vitriolic, snide and jealousy inspired attacks by arrogant elitist opera snobs even though Jackie knew she wasn't an opera singer and used to correct those who called her that. I think some opera writers/fans were insulted and felt threatened because Jackie, with virtually no training and 10 years old, sounded virtually the same to most average people as opera singers. They had to defend their genre and beloved opera singers by denigrating Jackie as having poor technique and preaching, because she was untrained, she would ruin her voice. The fact that Jackie could do this without many years of formal voice or opera training was considered to be the ultimate insult. In fact, IMO, this was ironically, in a way, the ultimate backhanded compliment for Jackie's breathtaking pure raw talent and skill as a lyric soprano.
Incidentally, the infamous opera lover troll known to old Jackie fans as cabbage juice, zamyrabyrd, classicbyrd, and other aliases is still trolling some Jackie you tube videos. She is an opera fan lover who wanted Jackie to be an opera singer and when Jackie said she didn't want to be one, dodo Byrd, as I call here, took it as a personal affront and opera insult. Someone other than myself might want to unmask her motives on you tube Jackie videos as a hater, as some pointed out with Joe Stumpf's old rants.
Late edit add: I just found another Kids2Classic video of 2 Jackie N Anthems, the classic 3-2010 Pirates audition video (edited down) and the 1-1-2011 Penguins NHL Winter Classic video.

This one of a series of music and educational videos produced by Kids2Classic. I don't know how educational these videos are. I wouldn't take them as anything at all scientific, or even particularly knowledgeable. They are mostly the uploader's opinions. For instance, his definition of "bel canto" is pretty much his own. The assertion that it is the "1000 year old definition" is pretty comical. The term has gone through changes in what it means, and means different things to different people- to the point it's not a very useful term, in any technical sense.
