If you have never heard of Jackie Evancho, do yourself a favor and read this...

[Rick Rothstein]

If you have never heard of Jackie Evancho before, then you are in for a most delightful treat and amazing experience... she is an opera singer like I'm sure you never saw before. Below are two links to two of my favorite songs by her. Listen to them in order. The reason is because I want you to get the full effect of exactly who Jackie is and the first link introduces you to her during the musical introduction to the song she is about to sing when she casually walks into a room. When you see her you will surely say to yourself, "No way she is an opera singer!"... but just listen.

This first song is just plain beautiful and you will know Jackie is for real on the first note she sings... Ombra Mai Fu

The above link for Ombra Mai Fu is now dead; however, I was able to find the exact same performance here... New Ombra Mai Fu link

I have a new treat for you. First, follow the instructions from the first message in this thread (but use the above updated link, of course)... I want you to experience the awe of Jackie Evanko and I think that come from the way you get to see her in the above link when she first enters the room. Anyway, the new treat... I just found the master webpage for the above link and on it are almost all of the songs that she did at that concert. So enjoy... <a href=http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL179CCA30D41F4A21>Jackie Evancho Concert</a>
