What is the 'back story' of Jackie and 'Danny Boy'? This rendition with Chris Botti is spectacular! She matches the trumpet note for note. I think she was 12 when this was recorded. I've heard that she will never sing it again. WHY?
Old man's memory: As I recall, Jackie was 10 years old when she sang this song. This song in on her "Dream with Me Concert" album, but the song was cut from the concert program. I heard various reasons, but mainly Jackie didn't want to sing it from the beginning and she was forced to sing it. I understand it took many takes to get it to sound the way she wanted it and the way the producers wanted it. I could be wrong on this and I apologize.

The song was recorded by David Foster at the same time he produced Dream With Me (age 10), but it was not included on the album, and she never performed it live. I don't presume to know the reason which has been largely hearsay, though it seems to have been something personal with Jackie. It is perhaps the biggest disappointment among fans. Personally, I don't think I would want Jackie to sing it now, because her recording is iconic, a treasure that has it's unique place in her unprecedented history, something likely to never be equaled.

I had never seen this video before.
14 years ago Jackie is asking for votes for an upcoming competition on USA World Showcase. According to the video publisher, norwester1523, she was runner-up.
That was prior to her audition with David Foster during his talent search, competing with Christopher Dallo for first place. I think Jackie may be the most consistent and successful "runner-up" in US history, lol.
