I don't get why that's a particularly nice write up. It's copy and pasted from her Wikipedia page!

Thank you Michal for picking up on Joe's quote of a write-up which otherwise I might have missed, as I drop in so infrequently these days. My friend in the States kindly shared some TV news footage and extracts from the show on his latest DVD to me--we have been communicating by audiotape for over thirty years (our own version of "Letters from America and England"!) and have recently gone over to DVD.
Apart from the exciting potential for the future she comes across as real all-round great American kid.

Yes, I enjoyed it, too, and I voted, too. Joe, did your favorites make it? Mine did.  I wasn't really sorry to see those little boys go.  |

Anna & Patryk is still my favorite (Prince Poppycock is great as well.) It's going to take something incredible to even rival those two and Jackie Evancho. I had a look at some of the newspapers from the Pittsburgh area for any mention of Jackie and there is really no articles to speak of. I am wondering what Jackie has decided to sing for her semifinal. Joe |

Yes, those are my favorites, too! I thought Prince Poppycock would be mainly a favorite with the ladies (which I think he is), but Howie and Piers seem to love him, too. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif I'm wondering what Jackie will sing, too. I hope she sings something less operatic, because other songs I've heard by her sound really pretty. Her opera voice in the audition wasn't pretty, just amazing quality for her age. But really, I'm wondering more what Prince Poppycock will do! I'm kind of hoping for O Fortuna just for Nicola!  |

OMG! I just saw that Jackie has also Dark Waltz on her album!  And heard it too! DARN, she's FANTASTIC! BTW, I was just wondering if Dark Waltz is a original by Hayley(?) Cool if it is though! Singers starting to do Hayley covers! Awesome. Cheers, Anshita

For many months, I was mistaken about the Dark Waltz origins. Now I know that, yes, it was a song written for Hayley's Pure album,. so, we can say the original singer is Hayley (although it was not written by her. On the other side, Jackie has also a video singing River of Dreams, and, although the melody is much older, the setting with those lyrics I think we can consider a Hayley song too. So, yes, indeed, Jackie has been picking Hayley's songs for her performances, and that's something we should appreciate: Hayley setting standards in the Classical Crossover genre means she is one of the great in that genre.

I hope Jackie's turn isn't last again! (I was hoping President Obama's televised address to the nation would include a shout-out to Jackie  ) Fingers crossed...and good luck Jackie! |

There was an article where she listed her musical influences, and Hayley was one of them! She even mentioned Grace Bawden. I can't see why a president would incorporate that into a speech about war. It wouldn't seem nice to show favoritism when the competition isn't over yet. She isn't the only act that's any good. |

You couldn't have thought I was serious about this ?? Well, I won't reveal what Jackie sang live until the west coast catches up. She performs second to last. Off to vote... Joe |
