Move over, Susan Boyle. You’ve got competition. She’s 10 years old, she’s beautiful and, boy, can she sing.
In Tuesday’s episode of “America’s Got Talent,” Pennsylvania native Jackie Evancho knocked the audience off its feet with her rendition of the Puccini aria “O Mio Babbino Caro.” The judges could not believe their ears: During an interview with Jackie after she was finished, one of the judges asked her to re-sing a note — just to be sure they really were listening to a 10-year-old and not some offstage diva.

I missed this – thank you for sharing and catching me up. An amazing voice and opportunity…do 10 year olds have such big dreams? or only wishes…
I hope that she is “handled” with kid gloves…and care.
I sang amazingly well and maturely as a teenager but lost my ability to sing with tumors on my voice box in my early 40s. It is hard to find something else that makes you “sing” and feel that way.
Julie Andrews was a child star who supported her family and lost her singing voice and has gone on to be a beautiful human being….she gives me hope for the next generations?

I was blown away by this little girl. She’s beautiful with a voice that is a rare gift from God. I hope she does phenomenally well and that her parents keep her grounded and as normal as possible.

I did see the story about him – absolutely amazing. I cannot afford the art of an 8 year old! I wish him well – although I think his talent is going to take care of him.

Good luck to the little girl with the big voice — may it work well for her.
