Once in a lifetime, someone comes along that is so incredibly talented, the world actually stops to listen. This particular singer is a child. Her name is Jackie Evancho. She is one of four finalists in the "America's Got Talent" competition that is currently airing on NBC. She and Prince Poppycock (see blog post of 8/28/10) made the cut last night and will compete against each other on Tuesday, September 14th. This broadcast will be "live from Hollywood" and the winner gets a million dollar grand-prize and a headline show in Las Vegas.
I have been around extremely talented vocalists most of my life and I've never seen nor heard anything like this child. Her technique is flawless. She is ten years old! I cannot compare her sound with anyone elses - it is so unique. It is gorgeous. She is gorgeous. God has blessed her with a gift unlike any other I've ever witnessed.
The following video clip is from her performance last night. She sang, "Pie Jesu" in Latin and the crowd went wild. The judges were at a loss for words. Her performance was incredibly touching. Take a look....
If you would like to watch the final four compete for the grand prize next week, the show airs at 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday on NBC. I hope you can join us!
Until next time...
