The first thing you might think when you see this video is that she

[verga]

Amazing, let’s hope she does not pull a Carlotte Church on us.

[Excellence]

And to think she only got second place. Does anybody even remember who got first?

[ottbmare]

She IS amazing. She's God's gift to everybody. Absolutely amazing kid. And her parents are doing a great job of raising her.

I also like this vid of her:

Ombre Ma Fu

Astonishing. Oh, yes, I know some of you will complain because she's not perfect, she doesn't have the lung capacity and breath control of someone who is 25. Fine. But there is much loveliness and future promise here, enough to make her a joy.

[berdie]

The young lady has an amazing voice!

[winner3000]

She’s one of my favorite singers. I bought a CD from her, and I hadn’t bought a CD since 1990!

I just wish she didn’t have to grow up. She was the most most amazing 10 year old prodigy I had ever seen (or probably will ever see). I hope she sticks to singing and stay away from saying political stuff. I would hate to see her join the liberal artists in their liberal viewpoints.

What a little darling! I had no idea that song was Handel. I've heard it in a couple movies... let's see... the tenor in Dangerous Liaisons sings it... and Mary Bennet does a hideous version of it in English in the A&E Pride and Prejudice. The one with Colin Firth.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been a HUGE fan of Jackie’s, ever since her videos first began circulating on the net. She is truly the most awesome singer I have ever heard in my 58 years (and that’s saying something).

She easily out-sings well-seasoned performers three times her age. Hers is a voice that is only heard once in a century, if that. Simply amazing.

[ataDude]

I agree... she is great. I’ve got all of her CDs loaded in my car. She’s is wonderful to take along on a drive!

Michael Grimm got first place to everyone’s surprise.

[Ole Okie]

What a magnificent talent!

Same here. Bought Mrs. panax the CD for Christmas. I think her agent/promoters are missing the boat by not bringing out a DVD in time for Christmas. It would have sold at least 10 Million plus copies.

Hearing her angelic voice is astonishing. Watching her do it is unbelievable.

Charlotte Church didn’t pull anything on anybody.

[Personal Responsibility]

The 10-year old would have had a year long gig in Las Vegas if she’d have won. Honestly, coming in 2nd is probably the best thing that could have happened to her.

The guy who won was a bluesy, Joe Cocker sounding kind of singer IIRC. Michael something?

[ntnychik]

I think Michael Grimm was the most surprised of all. Maybe the voters knew there were better places for this gifted ten year old than Vegas.
