Teenage opera singer Jackie Evancho is reportedly fielding multiple record deal offers after being announced as a performer at Donald Trump’s inauguration. “Three record labels were suddenly courting her,” the 16-year-old singer’s publicist, Kim Jakwerth, told the New York Post‘s Page Six of the industry’s interest in Evancho after it was announced she would perform the National Anthem at Trump’s inauguration on January 20. “The contract could be announced next week.”
Evancho — who rose to fame after a stint on America’s Got Talent in 2010 — has seen sales of her previous albums shoot up over the past few weeks as she has faced withering criticism on social media.
Other performers scheduled for the inauguration — including the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the iconic New York dance company The Rockettes — have been the subject of petitions and online pressure to cancel their performances.
Evancho apparently won’t bow to similar pressure.
“She’s doing it for her country,” Jakwerth told the paper. “She’s 16. She can’t vote. It’s an offer that came to her, and she’s excited.”
As Evancho’s album sales have soared, left-leaning media outlets have attempted to downplay the impact that the inauguration announcement may have had on the boost. Outlets like Vanity Fair and the Huffington Post questioned whether the sales boost may have been due to the fact that the singer’s album was a Christmas album, and so it sold especially well around the holidays.
“Of course, Trump had impact,” Media Research Center vice president Dan Gainor told FOX411. “The media wouldn’t give credit to Trump if he personally cured cancer, discovered alien life and fed all the world’s hungry.”

Jackie is an amazing young woman with a BEAUTIFUL voice. I remember when she appeared on America’s Got Talent..WOW I was BLOWN AWAY
This is so so awesome. And news for others who are being too shy or hesitant perhaps.
Thank you for posting this. She is truly beyond compare.
Good for her! How exciting.
PE Trump making winners; in the past seems everything touched by BO’B brought down the house (literally) and dried up the clientele.
HIP HIP HOORAY FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP!!
I hope she can keep a level head with all the fame and fortune. Easy for a 16 year old to lose it. Hope she has strong family.
Hey, Hollywood! Take notice!! We Americans know that you are filth, and we are voting with our pocketbooks, supporting those artists and entertainers who are courageous enough to defy you, and pulling our dollars away from those artists and entertainers who kowtow to your demands to degrade our great country!
Thanks for the link. What an elegant looking young lady.
Wonder how all those self-important {expletives} that publicly refused to even consider it are feeling now? Like they’ve been had with a sandpaper covered marital aide? ;-)
For comparison I would put into the Near Certain Great category the 18 year old Slovak crossover singer Patricia Janeckova. There may be others. There probably are.
In the possibly great category I would put teenager Laura Brenton and the not quite 13 year old Amira Willighagen. Both are much younger than either Janeckova or Evancho so you just have to wait and see how they turn out. But at an equivalent age I think both are more talented than Jackie.
But not to knock Jackie Evancho. She is good and she is getting better. Time will tell us how far she can go in the music business. It's a tough racket.
Love your posts. You’re almost as crazy as me!
Keeps the board fun :)
What a beautiful young woman, in every way. This is the first time I have hard her sing. May God bless her.
Bookmark for the wonderful links to her singing.
Irish. :)
it cant all be deadly serious! thanks...
No, it can’t. Gets too depressing sometimes.
One article after another of liberal insanity.
We need some cheering up from time to time!
