Jackie Evancho: straight out of heaven

I have this habit of browsing through the videos and only the videos being posted by our Facebook friends. We do this habitually and have more than often encountered great performances from various talent shows all over the world.

One particularly great performance from America's Got Talent stunned us recently. Jackie Evancho. I have never heard of her before. She was actually AGT's runner-up from Season 5, which was wrapped up last year. This 11-year old girl, who has the soul and poise of a 30 year old left us flabbergasted with her soprano voice. She has been wowing American audiences since the age of 7. But it was only last year, when she got on television, that she became what AGT's Piers Morgan called, a superstar.

I couldn't agree more with Morgan. I have never been this drawn to Opera. Jackie truly is a child wonder with a voice that no one could possibly imagine ever coming out of a such a small 10-year old body. And she is incredibly disciplined too. I mean heck, to maintain a voice such as hers, one could only conclude so.
