Set Me Free
The TROY event is an epic production, and therefore "Set Me Free", an original song recorded and performed by Jackie for the event, in my opinion, has great potential for her and deserves special recognition here. This thread offers members the opportunity to comment on the song, the performance and the event without their comments being buried by irrelevant posts.
Edit add: Two videos of Jackie's studio version are posted together 3 posts down by yellowstone2014.

Epic production, epic song, epic length. This is the stuff Jackie was borne to do. Its a shame Hollywood didn't realise that. But that doesn't matter because China is set to eclipse Hollywood in "Soft Power" using movies to convince the world that they are the "good guys"...History always favours the winner. So if Jackie can cement her status in the new Hollywood that would be a very strategic move. Then Bollywood and last of all Hollywood in that order. Soft Power

Big things are possible for Jackie in East Asia in her coming career. Set Me Free may become her "brand song" for some time to come.

EXCELLENT! Thank you yellowstone. The vimeo presentation is spectacular. What a prize this is!
Classic Jacquelin Marie Evancho. Elegantly modest and powerfully glorious, then rising to the clouds with that crystal clear voice.

Soft PowerI think GEB might say that they did, but Jackie turned them down. He's left some long posts explaining it.

Maia does outstanding work. Very professional. And the images line up with the words.

Though it's early yet, the comments (27) on YT for the lyric video of Set Me Free are unanimously positive. No religious superlatives, nothing OTT, just genuine awe.

What happened to Cabbage Juice et al? She'll show up inevitably with a few others. Btw, doesn't she post as Zamyrabyrd and a couple other akas? Of course the usual 30 to 50 dislikes that always put their silent 2cents in immediately haven't missed the opportunity. They are irrelevant.

She got owned by JS I never checked back to see what happened after that as I don't follow tolls and, they were the only two to comment.

Absolutely incredible! If Jackie performs this song at Redondo Beach I better bring a good supple of tissue.

I think this song opens up a lot of space for Jackie. It seems to me like it would have fit nicely on Awakening. The wordless phrases at the beginning remind me of Vocalise and the most awe-inspiring part of the Vavilov Ave Maria. Jackie does that so well. It's one reason I posted in the thread of song's we'd like Jackie to sing Sheila Chandra's version of Lament of MacCrimmon. Set Me Free is lengthy and sounds epic, like MOTN. If Jackie sang SMF regularly, she would no doubt sculpt it and refine it, as she's done with MOTN over the years. I hope it becomes popular, so she has to sing it in concert.
