New 2011 Talent: Jackie Evancho

Jackie Evancho was born on April 9th, 2000. After watching the movie The Phantom of the Opera, she began to sing constantly. Jackie’s singing talent soon became evident and her mother allowed her to participate in a talent competition. She became runner-up in the contest, beaten by a 20-year-old opera singer.

Jackie Evancho is no ordinary singer. Jackie has a beautiful voice and an extraordinary talent: the ability to sing like a perfessional opera singer. She proved her skill to the world on the TV show “America’s Got Talent.” 

Jackie enjoys many other activities besides singing. She loves to swim, dance, tennis, write stories, poems, songs, and play her violin and piano,  hang out with my friends and play with her pet duck.

She recently made an appearance on Wizard of Waverly Place as a girl singing 'America the Beautiful'. Hopefully we hear more good Jackie news soon!
