A bit old...but I know her background...she’s been schooled in song pretty much from being a toddler....also acting I understand. So she’s had a great deal of professional training.
I am an fan of these talent shows.....here’s one of a young 9 year old who blew the socks off everyone singing “O Mio Babbino Caro” (opera)....she taught herself from ‘watching videos on you tube’ on how to sing....no professional training at all.
Actual singing starts at 1:36

Absolutely beautiful. Puccini would cry!
That girl is a professional. She was on Broadway, too.
She’s even better than Jackie Evancho at that age.
