In addition to her parents, two brothers and a sister, Jackie has six uncles, an aunt and eight cousins on her father's side -- all of whom are eager to see her succeed. Yet, he said, "We want to keep Jackie as Jackie.
When phenomenal response to her first performance brought increased traffic on the family's cul-de-sac, her parents limited Jackie's homecoming party from Hollywood two weeks ago to a casual dinner with immediate family. Family, friends and local musicians are watching to see what happens when she enters the music industry. Pittsburgh pop icon Johnny Angel -- who began his career as a teenager in the early s -- said an "old-school" manager, Herman Lipp, shielded him and "kept a lot of the ugliness in the world away from us.
The Internet aided Jackie's overnight popularity and provides great exposure for young artists, said Angel. He got a sneak peek of Jackie's talent as a judge and emcee for the annual Kean Idol competition in Richland. The last two years were spent in cyber-schooling, but Jackie missed the classroom and returned this week to public school. How big her career will become is still hard to say.
She has no ambitions to become a pop singer, and says the classical crossover genre suits her voice better. She already has one album that sold over a million copies, and three Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top album chart.
I remember that it was one of my favorites at the time. Very nice to hear it again. Definitely a beautiful classic Jackie Evancho song. It should have won a Grammy for James Breedwell!
And also one for Jackie. A true musical masterpiece! The very first song ever written exclusively for Jackie Evancho to sing! No other artist is allowed to sing or record it! This is from the author himself, James Breedwell! Still millions have not yet heard this beautiful song. I would love to see Jackie re-record this song. Makes me weep every time I hear it. The girl mentioned in the song, Kimberly was a very young girl who passed away and her father asked James Breedwell to write a song for her to help console him through his grief.
Breedwell was happy to do so even though he didn't know the father personally. What a beautiful testament to a father's love for his child! I have made death to be a source of joy to thee. Wherefore dost though grieve? The best single performance is a tough word to use with Jackie, since she has produced at least 20 different videos that many would consider to be the best ever.
And any of those Jackie bests, would alone make many other singers careers. Now I just label any one as one of the best. While children, or anyone for that matter, can be taught to match pitch, singers with a natural ability to do so have a huge advantage.
In modern America, most young singing talent tends to imitate pop stars rather than opera singers. YouTube is full of pint-sized belters doing their best to imitate their heroes. Justin Bieber, anyone? The difference between Evancho and fellow Pittsburgher Christina Aguilera is how they produce their sound.
In bel canto, which is actually the technique opera singers use, the breath is used to support the voice like water supports a boat.
