Sort of like the young Charlotte Church. Hope Jackie’s career doesn’t go sideways too.

So is Andrea Bocelli. How are the LIBTARDS going to attack a squeaky clean 16 yr old Platinum Artist, she was that at 13, and a blind man? Jackie is a David Foster Prodigy already had record deals at 10.
Jackie is NO raunchy miley sirus or madonna.

You shouldn’t cringe when you hear her sing. She is not trashing her voice but is being trained professionally and being brought along slowly so as not to ruin her voice.

Any teacher who claims that what she is doing is not bad for her voice is either delusional or a hack.

Charlotte Church ruined her voice by singing music children are not supposed to sing.

Operatic arias written for adults should not be sung by children. If your mother actually thinks that Jackie Evancho’s singing is a good example of the operatic art...

Yeh actually she approves. Its not what the girl sings its how she is singing it that’s the tell on whether she is being brought along properly and she is.

This is the truth. My daughter is 17 and after 2 years of classical vocal training is singing art song repertoire. She had a sample lesson at a well known music conservatory and was told they start all freshmen ( 18 and 19 year olds) with beginning art songs. Opera is a very long haul career, and the heavy repertoire often doesnt start until graduate school. Female Opera singers are beginning careers in their early thirties and often male voices arent fully developed until they are in their 40s. Thank you for that very interesting information. I had no idea...
