Jackie Evancho

Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho, born April 9, 2000) is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age and, since 2009, has issued five albums, including a platinum and gold album and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts.

Between 2008 and 2010, Evancho entered several talent competitions; made singing appearances, mostly in Pennsylvania (including at a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game); issued an independent album, Prelude to a Dream; and attracted interest on YouTube. Evancho impressed composers Tim Janis and David Foster, each of whom included her in his concerts beginning in 2009. Later in 2010, at the age of 10, she gained wider popularity with her performances in the fifth season of the America's Got Talent competition, finishing in second place.

With the 2010 holiday release of her O Holy Night, Evancho became the best-selling debut artist of 2010, the youngest top-10 debut artist in U.S. history and the youngest solo artist ever to go platinum. She first performed in front of U.S. President Barack Obama at the 2010 National Christmas Tree lighting in Washington, D.C. In June 2011, her first full-length major-label album, Dream With Me, produced by David Foster, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, and she became the youngest top-5 debut artist in UK history. Billboard ranked Evancho the top Classical Albums Artist for 2011. Evancho released another studio album, Heavenly Christmas, in November 2011. The same month, she became the youngest person ever to give a solo concert at Lincoln Center in New York City as part of her Dream With Me Tour. She has made two solo Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) specials for the television series Great Performances.

Evancho is the ambassador for Mission: Humane, a U.S. Humane Society program that encourages children to help protect animals. A nationalcotillion organization listed her as one of the "ten best-mannered people of 2011".

She sings from the healthy part of her voice."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-post-gazette1_42-3" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[42]  Doctor Clark Rosen, director of the University of Pittsburgh Voice Center, commented that Evancho's talent is made possible by how her brain coordinates her body for singing: "Very few people are gifted enough to have that naturally, or with subsequent learning, to create a voice we'd love to hear."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-post-gazette1_42-4" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[42] ===2011 and later<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;">[edit] === <p style="line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">A review of Evancho's 2011 concert with Pittsburgh Opera noted that "what was most impressive ... was how musical she was ... her focus on phrasing and an understanding of the emotion in the ... musical numbers."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Drucken_123-1" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[123]  The review also praised "her reverberant chest voice [and] her head voice, hitting the highest register with intonation and purity" and echoed Janis: "That she continues to be greeted with skepticism is unfair. ... Yes, the concert showed that Jackie is a young girl, yet one with artistry to be appreciated now without debating about what her future might hold."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Drucken_123-2" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[123] Antony Walker, Pittsburgh Opera's music director, said: "she has a very sincere way of singing. ... Her voice has a lovely quality to it. It's very simple singing but it comes from the heart. You rarely hear someone so young with such a beautiful voice".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Tady2011_235-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[235]  Nekesa Mumbi Moody, writing for Associated Press and ABC News, commented that, although "there is a youthful quality in Jackie's voice, it's hardly childlike: It's a soprano that deftly traverses the musical scales".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-EvanchosVoice_16-1" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[16]  Bob Boilen of NPR wrote in 2011, "I simply couldn't believe my eyes and ears. Seeing Jackie Evancho sing for the first time is nearly beyond belief." He called her voice "beyond-beautiful" when she performed "for a stunned audience at the NPR Music offices. She clearly is a very happy girl with an amazing musical gift."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-236" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[236]

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">The Los Angeles Times commented in June 2011, reviewing Dream With Me, that "her voice has matured quite a lot over the past 10 months." The paper continued, "what makes us feel like she will survive the journey from child star to adult performer is her magnificent sense of pitch, her natural ability to shape phrases and the ease with which she performs. This is what makes her a joy to listen to. Since she's still a kid, and we all have affectations when we're learning, we'll pretend we didn't notice the Brightman arms."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-237" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[237]  In reviewing her 2011 Pittsburgh Opera concert, thePittsburgh Tribune-Review called her voice "beautifully in tune and well supported. ... Evancho's sincerity of delivery was affecting".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-238" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[238]  A reviewer from The New York Times wrote of her 2011 Avery Fisher Hall concert that: "In the first half of the show Ms. Evancho often receded, but toward the end of the night she found purpose, delivering 'A Time for Us' with punch, and closing out Sarah McLachlan’s 'Angel' with what felt like real yearning".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-239" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[239]  The Wall Street Journal called Evancho's 2011 performance of the song "Angel" on the Tonight Show "moving".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-240" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[240]

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">A San Francisco Chronicle review of a 2012 concert judged her singing "an impressive thing to witness, and Evancho's technical precision and enormous range only serve to make it seem less fluky. The girl can sing", but felt that "every selection sounded alike".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Kosman_130-1" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[130]  Later that year, a reviewer wrote that Evancho "displayed her famous combo of poise and articulation", but he noted "the burden of being a kid soprano, a true phenomenon. People pay a lot to see you and orchestras line up to get you on their stage. But still folks wonder if you really comprehend your life; if you shouldn’t be home ... eating ice cream instead of in Denver. ... And yet they rise to their feet, yet again, as you finish."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Denver_241-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[241]  A December 2012 Naples Daily News review stated: "Her poise.

Every year her voice seems to get better and better."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-243" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[243]  The following month, a reviewer for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called Evancho "awesomely talented" and "technically flawless", commenting: "Jackie Evancho possesses the voice of an angel."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Atl2013_217-1" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[217] ===Honors<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;">[edit] === <p style="line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">Evancho appeared on the National League of Junior Cotillions' list of "Ten Best-Mannered People of 2011" for "demonstrating humility and politeness as a young performer."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-244" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[244] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-245" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[245]  She was honored on April 13, 2012 by the Senator John Heinz History Center at its 20th Annual History Makers Award Dinner as one of five "distinguished Pittsburghers ... recognized for their exceptional contributions to the history of Western Pennsylvania, the nation, and the world".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-20thAHMAD_246-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[246] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-HistoryMaker_247-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[247]  Evancho was the youngest person ever to be so honored.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-HistoryMaker_247-1" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[247]  The Kean Quest Talent Search, since 2011, has given an annual "Jackie Evancho Award" to a contestant who "exemplifies courage and motivation and pushes through to follow their dreams."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-248" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[248]  In both 2011 and 2012, Billboard magazine named Evancho to its list of "21 Under 21: Music's Hottest Minors".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-249" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[249] ==Discography<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;">[edit] == Further information: Jackie Evancho discography <p style="line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">Billboard ranked Evancho the No. 1 Classical Albums Artist of 2011,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-251" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[251]  as Evancho released three of the top four albums on the Billboard 2011 year-end Classical Albums chart.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-TopClassicalAlbums2011_90-3" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[90]  Billboardalso ranked Evancho as the No. 10 Billboard 200 Artist of 2011,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-252" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[252]  and the No. 3 Internet Albums Artist.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-253" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[253]
