Mihizawi, you are correct that Danny Boy is only available through Jackie's official website. The best deal is the Target Deluxe with the four extra songs, but not including Danny Boy. Then there is the PBS special broadcast from the Ringling Museum, which had the 14 songs from DWM, minus the duet with Susan Boyle, but adding Dark Waltz and Mi Mancherai. You will probably have to wait on that until the pledge drives are finished and it is made available separately (unless you want to pledge $75).

I think I'd go for Danny Boy, I love that song and I am dying to know what Jackie sounds like there... Plus, I got to love the sound of the trumpet after hearing it so much on Andrea's concerts, and I looked for Chris Botti and I love how he sounds... I am just too curious, ahahaha... I don't know any of the four songs that are added to the Deluxe Edition, it would be interesting to hear them, but this time I'd rather go for the safe of Danny Boy... Oh, and Dark Waltz isn't in the album? Didn't notice that, such a shame, Jackie's performance on PBS was great. I may buy the deluxe edition too, but later on...

I attended Jackie's concert in Atlanta last night, and all I can say is I was blown away. I loved how she would be professional and poised while singing, and then be an excited little kid in between songs (giggling, waving, flashing thumbs-up signs, jumping up and down, etc). Here's the setlist (linked rather than embedded for those that don't want spoilers): www.setlist.fm/setlist/jackie-evancho/2011/atlanta-symphony-hall-atlanta-ga-5bd09388.html |

Hi drquoz and everyone.
Welcome and thanks for your links and report. That post will be interesting to follow through. I too have been excited by promotion on Jackie and have hopes she is another young person able to match superb talent with a down-to-earth 'mature for her age' approach to life. Whether it is part of mankind moving on in development or simply that the artists immediately in my mind as I write all seem to have secure, supportive, stable down-to-earth family backgrounds. it is good to have confirmatory reports of direct experience.
I think of Hayley, Faryl and now Jackie. However, we need to remember that extraordinary young talent, previously often described as 'precocious' in older days is not that uncommon. Shirley Temple immediately comes to mind. Judy Garland had a hard time that was not really her fault and there are one or two others, English actresses come to my mind (the girl who played Estelle in Great Expectations and of course Hayley Mills, particularly in modern times,

I saw Jackie Evancho live at Ravinia on August 7. She was sooo cute. Conrad Tao, who accompanied her for Imaginer on her album as well as in the PBS special, also performed, and he was great too. I was thrilled to be able to see her live. She got so excited when she heard the applause. People were standing up for her after almost every song. She performed at an extremely high level of excellence. She really has very little to improve upon. A little work on her diction and vowels and breathing and she will be more out of this world than she already is. I think the best for her on this concert was All I ask of you, although I wish she would find a guy to sing it with. She sang Pie Jesu for an encore and the whole audience erupted at the end. Anyway, I was thrilled to be able to go to the concert. An extra positive was that I only had to pay $10. I think Hayley should perform at Ravinia if she ever comes to Chicago. It would expand her fan base in upper class America and also make her available to people who can't afford a super expensive concert.

It would be tough to get Hayley into that venue. Although it would be nice. Larry |

re: Dallas Meyerson Center w/Dallas Symphony Orchestra - 31 Aug 2011
- I was there 6th row.
- 11 songs (standard set as her other 4 DWM concerts)
- this was her last of her 5 DWM summer mini tour
- Jackie had this place ROCKIN. Standing O's after every song.
- 3 or 4 curtain calls
- the whole house on their feet
- 20 year season ticket holders near my seat - were amazed. They said they have been attending events
at the Meyersen for 20 years and said they never have seen a reaction like that. They never saw a performer
receive standing O's after every song.
- the crowd was yelling - we love you jackie - bravo - jackie - etc... etc... etc... all evening long
and the response from jackie would melt the coldest of hearts. She giggled, jumped, swirled, double hand waved,
smiled, waved at the orchestra, waved at the folks seated high behind and at the sides of the stage.
- She had the orchestra reacting with huge smiles from them
- She started with LOVERS a bit nervous for the first few bars then settled in and was pretty much perfect after
those first few bars.
- Jackie was so good the first half - no way she could improve from the first half
- Wrong! she stepped it up a notch in the second half.
- as the night went on the crowd got louder and louder and the standing O's got longer and longer
- Jackie was in the zone!
- A fan that saw her live at Houston in Feb - said that she has improved beyond what he thought was possible.
- Jackie is so into the emotional content of the material she is singing she draws everyone in
- she is a master story teller / her phrasing is beyond description
- when she completes her song she turns back into a 11 year old giggling, jumping, happy child.
- her improvement is hard to explain - but she is getting better and better and better in such a short period of time
- The Impossible Dream had most tearing-up. Jackie herself towards the end of the song has tears as reported
by folks sitting in the first couple rows
- The Prayer - another powerful emotional performance as were all her songs
- Jackie is actually moved by the material and the folks seated before her see this and respond accordingly
with long and loud standing O's
- I am amazed how good she is. seeing her live is a must. She is so into her the material when she sings you
cannot take your eyes off her.
- her magic - she sings for people and not to people.
- lots of reviews on fan sites that you can check out.
- it's been 6 days since I saw her and still on a high.
- What a remarkable talent!

Posted Today, 01:55 AM Jackie Evancho Is Robert Redford's Daughter in 'The Company You Keep' October 11, 2011 08:01:39 GMT The former 'America's Got Talent' finalist is set to make her acting debut by joining the upcoming political action movie, co-starring Anna Kendrick and Terrence Howard among others. Jackie Evancho, the runner up of the fifth season of "America's Got Talent", might soon make her debut in acting world. The 11-year-old Pennsylvania-born singer has joined Robert Redford and Shia LaBeouf in an upcoming political action thriller, "The Company You Keep". According to Variety, Evancho has been tapped to star as Redford's daughter, who has just lost her mother and knows nothing about his father's militant past. Also recently attached to the movie are Oscar-nominated stars Anna Kendrick and Terrence Howard, as well as Brendan Gleeson and Sam Elliott. Based in a novel by Neil Gordon, "The Company You Keep" follows Redford's Jim Grant, a former Weather Underground militant who has been hunted by the FBI for over three decades. He must go on the run when his true identity is exposed by a young, ambitious reporter, played by LaBeouf, who is hell-bent on making a name for himself. Kendrick is set to portray Diana, a young FBI agent who gives information to LaBeouf about a robbery of the Bank of Michigan in 1960s. Howard will play Cornelius, a senior FBI agent who wants to take down Grant and his allies, while Gleeson is set to star as Henry Osborne, a retired Michigan Chief of Police who investigated the 1960's bank robbery. Elliott, meanwhile, is set to portray Mac, an employer in a marijuana trade. Aside from taking on the lead role, Redford also serves as the producer and tackles the directorial duty. Set to be released in the U.S. sometime in 2013, the movie also stars Brit Marling, Nick Nolte, Susan Sarandon, Stephen Root, Stanley Tucci, Chris Cooper and Richard Jenkins.

Strange that they choose child actresses on the strength of their singing....?
But never mind! Good luck to Jackie in her new career.

Robert Redford saw Jackie sing on AGT as a guest last month and knew right then and there, that he wanted Jackie for his movie. He then approached the Evancho's. As Jackie fans have learned over the past year - as good as Jackie is vocally, her biggest asset in her singing is her ability to interpret material and convey it's content to the audience. I'm sure this is what Robert Redford saw when he first saw Jackie. She is a natural story teller so acting makes a lot of since. She also used to being in front of large audiences and lights and camera's, etc... She is also very photogenic.

Well, I've been sayihg for a while that Jackie could perfectly have acting talents, the spoken verses of To Believe are one of the best performed lines I've seen by such a young girl (even rivalizing with my favourite young actress, AnnaSophia Robb, on A Bridge To Terabithia). In a half-joking tone, I'd say the only danger for Jackie being a stunning actress, is to overact, her strength to transmit emotions is incredible!

Jackie Evancho is on Tony Bennett's new album. Guess she's on her way to super stardom barring anything unfortunate.
