Barry Boyd I am an old man and I too want to greet my maker with this song in my heart, your moTher did not miss this gesture in her passing........ god bless you John
Heart 💕❤️❤️ my 10 year old daughter passed with cancer she liked this when the priest done the mas of the angels they sang this makes my cry this young lady has the voice of an angel bless her 🙏 amen
I would honestly say, her voice is so magic that like pure spring water it entirely penetrates your brains, making it feel a pleasant relaxation, great enjoyment, faith in beautiful life, a great desire to live, believe in positive ways, have a sense of virginity and innocence, absolutely forgetting about everything that challenge your dwelling in this fragile world.
+John Holzhey I really love her current voice but also her Dream with Me voice if this is like a fine Cabernet Sauvignon then her early voice is like a fine smokey scotch maybe 10 years old but hinting of much more maturity.
I can't believe there are people who are negative about the singing of Jackie Evancho! The voice is remarkable and the craftsmanship is consummate! This girl is a gift to the world and these naysayers don't deserve her!
Michael DEAK I completely agree with you! can anyone sing Pie Jesu, Dormi Jesu, Ave Maria and Nessun Dorma, Nella Fantasia,etc, better than Jackie? answer: anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; Jackie is only
Michael DEAK Try to not worry about those "naysayers", Michael. They have been hounding Jackie Evancho's videos since the first one appeared here on RUclips during the America's Got Talent show. The trolls and haters are constantly on the lookout for any new videos from her so that they can post their negative remarks. Just pretend that they do not exist and enjoy the music. Good day to you, sir.
its not called being a troll if we dont like her voice omg we can have our own opinion. i think shes average but if i say anything like that i get more hate than what i wud give
+Stephanie Cheng No hate here! You're entitled to your opinion, of course. My disagreement is with your characterization of Jackie as average! THAT is my criticism; Jackie is the antithesis of "average". She has an extraordinary voice by any measure. She has great technique, perfect intonation and an "old soul" in a 15 year-old body! You don't have to like her voice, but you raised the ire of most of us by disparaging her vocal proficiency and musicianship! At least my judgment comes from decades of musicianship--both in composition and performance, and there is general consensus that Jackie is extraordinary!
shes okay, but shes a bit inexperienced. listen to her 'think of me'. u think she sounds fine, but she doesnt reach the end quite right. you cant possibly say shes perfect. she definitely did not have perfect intonation in that. its not like im hating on her. i say shes average and thats criticism?? if i say shes good will you drop it
This singer, I was not introduced to until after my late soulmate had passed. I would have had this played at her funeral. I cry EVERY time I hear it. 😢
What is wrong with all you complainers. This girl is exceptionally talented. If you don't like her singing, stop listening to her. Gosh people just have to put others down. I don't see your name in lights anywhere. Get a life.
Great comment, Patricia. Your statements were all accurate and direct to the point. The "people" that you made mention of are the jealous trolls and haters that have been polluting Jackie's videos with their spiteful and hateful remarks for over 4 years now. They are simply wasting their time here because none of her fans and admirers ever take them seriously. They are all laughable. Good day to you.
+ussaratoga Well, I am a confirmed heathen and avoid anything religious where possible - except where Jackie is concerned. The beauty of her voice overcomes all obstacles.
My almighty God gave this child a very wonderful talen, and I love to hear her sing. If you think and say you are a heathen, then I believe that you are REALLY lying to yoyrself, but you REALLY believe in the ALMIGHTY. Just saying.
I'm a wounded soldier medically retired been through hell and back... I can't stop crying, "ALLUDAME, VIRGEN MARIA, MADRE DE DIOS"!!!! "GOD HELP ME", Am so hurt hurt in my soul!!!!
+Ronald Diaz "The ego does not recognise the real source of "threat," and if you associate yourself with the ego, you do not understand the situation as it is. Only your allegiance to it gives the ego any power over you. I have spoken of the ego as if it were a separate thing, acting on it's own. This was necessary to persauade you that you cannot dismiss it lightly, and must realize how much of your thinking is ego directed. We cannot safely let it go at that, however, or you will regard yourself as necessarily conflicted as long as you are here, or as long as you believe that you are here. The ego is nothing more than a part of your belief about yourself. Your other life in Heaven has continued without interruption, ans has been and always will be totally unaffected by your attempts to dissociate it. In learning to escape from illusions, your debt to your brother is something you must never forget. It is the same debt that you owe to Me. Whenever you act egotistically towards another, you are throwing away the graciousness of your indebtedness and the Holly Perception it would produce. The term "Holy" can be used here because as you learn how much you are indebted to the whole sonship, which includes Me, you come as close to Knowledge as perception can. The gap is then so small that Knowledge can flow across it to obliterate it forever. You have very little trust in Me as yet, but it will increase as you turn more and more often to Me instead of the ego for guidance. The results will convince you increasingly that this choice is the only sane one you can make. No one who learns form experiance that one choice brings Peace and Joy while another brings chaos and disaster needs additional convincing. Learning through rewards is more effective than learning through pain, because pain is an ego illusion, and can never induce more than a tempoary effect. The rewards of God however are immediately recognised as Eternal. Since this recognition is made by you and not the ego, the recognition itself establishes that you and your ego cannot be identical, You may believe that you have already accepted the difference, but you are by no means convinced as yet. The fact that you believe you must escape from the ego shows this, but you cannot escape from the ego by hummbling it or controlling it or punishing it. The ego and the Spirit do not know each other. The separated mind cannot maintain the separation except by dissoctiating. Having does this, it denies all truly natural impulses, not because the ego is a separate thing, but because you want to believe that YOU are. The ego is a device for maintaining this belief, but it is still only your decision to use the device that enables it ot endure. How can you teach someone the value of something he has deliberately thrown away? He must have thrown it away because he did not value it. You can only show him how miserable he is without it, and slowly bring it nearer so he can learn how his misery lessens as he approaches it. This teaches heim to assocaite his misery with its absence, and the opposite of misery with its presence. It gradully becomes desirable as he changes his mind about its worth. I am teaching you to associate misery with the ego and Joy with the Spirit. You have tausght yourself the opposite. You are still free to choose, but can you really want the rewards of the ego in the presence of the rewards of God? My Trust in You is greater than yours in Me at the moment, but it will not always be that way. Your mission is simple. You are asked to live so as to demonstrate that you are not an ego, and I do not choose God's channels wrongly. The Holy One shares My Turst and accepts My Atonement decisions because My decisions are never out of accord with His. I have said before that I am in charge of the Atonement. This is only because I completed My part in it as a man, and now complete it through others. My chosen channels cannot fail, because I will lend them MY Strength as long as theirs is wanting. You are the light of the world, Who is the light of world except God's Son? This then is the merely a statement of the truth about yourself. It is the opposite of a statement of pride, arrogance, or self-deception. It does not describe the self-concept you have made. It does not refer to any of the characteristics with which you have endowed your idols. It refers to you as you were created by God. It simply states the Truth. To the ego this idea is the epitome of self-glorification. But the ego does not understand humility mistaking it for self-debasement. Humility consists of accepting your role in salvation and in taking no other. It is not humility to insist you cannot be the light of the world if that is the function God assigned to you. It is only arrogance that would assert this function cannot be for you, and arrogance is always of the ego. True humility requires that you accept this idea because it is God's Voice which tells you it is True. This is a beginning step in accepting your real function on earth, It is a giant stride toward taking your rightful place in salvation. It is a positive assertion of your right to be saved, and an acknowledgement of the power that is given you to save others. It is the prefect answer to illusions, and therefore to all temptation. It brings all the images you have made about yourself to the Truth, and helps you depart in Peace, unburdened and certain of your purpose. This idea goes far beyond the ego's petty views of what your are and what your purpose is, As the Bringer of salvation, this obviously necessary, You are the light of the world. God has built His plan for the salvation of His Son on you. Tell yourself this often I am the light of the world, That is my only function. That is why I am here." "ACIM""
+Ronald Diaz I am also a Catholic who have been going through very traumatic issues. I'd like to suggest, if you don't mind, two very beautiful resources: "Into your hands, Father" by Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen (available in print and ebook formats) and "Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence" by Fr Jean Baptiste Saint-Jure and St Claude de la Colombiere (www.olrl.org/snt_docs/trustful/). St John Paul II's encyclical "Salvifici Doloris" is also very beautiful, and this website (catholiceducation.org) has many wonderful resources. May the Lord bless you and comfort you, and may He reveal His love and presence in your sufferings and make them fruitful. Have courage and be strong in Him!
you've brought this upon yourself for serving a corrupt government that just uses puppet to achieve power and wealth. but I think there is hope for you, praying is not the answer, finding people or a person that care and loves you may be the answer, and their are doctors out there that can treat or ease the pain. some of these comments are religious, but they are right about one thing, you must let go of your ego, or you will hurt the people around you as you just hurt others from other nations. I'm not saying that isis is good, they are monsters and have a lust for blood. but aren't our soldiers any different. there are few soldiers that have integrity and honor in the American military, so back the matter. you are in pain, yes? Then find people that live and care about you and have your doctor's treat any of your physical suffering. Remember, physical pain is not so easily healed, but LOVE will always heal the heart and your emotional pain. it can be anyone.
Look I can't apologize for saying that the the U.S. Is evil (especially when there are people who are selfish in this nation). But I do apologize for my condescending additude towards you Rondald. There are alot of people that have integrity and love in their hearts, especially people who love and care about you. I have no empathy for soldiers from any nation; however, you are human and you're in pain. All I have to say is hang in there, stay strong find comfort in unconditional love from people around you. this is all I have to say.
That ethereal in her eyes, she has always had. Watch her video of the PBS special when she was ten singing Angel. Her soul shined thru so beautifully while she sung that song. INDEED, she is that angel.
Jackie Evancho, at 14, a fine wine with aging becoming richer in flavor and fuller bodied. I am so happy for her. She is a blessing indeed for all people and cute to boot!!!!
Ed Cortorreal I’ve always thought Jackie was better although Amira is good, Jackie has now branched out to even more genres singing county and pop songs where she can really belt out her notes, she is further proving her ability she’s always had. She sang Celine dions “it’s all coming back to me now” which is a really hard song to sing the way Celine does. She sang an Amy whinehouse song and nailed that too. Jackie is a vocal chameleon
This is the best version of Ave Maria I've heard in my life, before it was sung by Jackie, I think I heard it a couple of times, without feeling anything special; But in Jackie's voice this composition it is divine, sublime and ethereal
Jackie Evancho at age 14, born April 9, 2000 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a baptized practiciing Roman Catholic who says that her voice is a gift from God to the World. She has sung for the Pope and she wears a chastity purity ring.
This is one of the most exquisitely beautiful things I have ever heard. What an incredibly beautiful voice. This is by far the most beautiful version of this song that I have ever heard. Amazingly talented, intelligent, beautiful young lady with a voice straight from heaven.
Imho, Amira Willighagen's Ave Maria by W Gomez is other-worldly! And she has no huge orchestra just her brother on violin, mother on recorder (poorly) and her father on church pipe organ. There is no doubt she is from God to raise this dying world up. Here she is a mere 11, now she is 18 and even better. Please listen - ruclips.net/video/n66udAMmCDM/видео.html
@@cmlarose50 Sorry, but at 11, her voice lacked pitch control. Couldn't listen to a complete song. She DID get a lot better, though, so I'll spot you a point for her age 18 work.
It is beyond a tragedy that someone of Jackie's talent now languishes in relative obscurity, performing at C-list venues with empty seats, when once she was America's darling and was woshipped by millions. Where are all those fans now? Her voice is different now, yes, but that innate something-else that she had as a child performer is still there, albeit changed, matured. I hope her career picks up again and she recovers from her health issues and finds happiness.
Jackie's new album, her ninth in 12 years, was released Sep. 9, 2022......"Carousel of Time" is a tribute to the legendary singer/songwriter, Jon Mitchell which hit the Amazon Folk Music chart at #1 and remains at #2 in New Releases. Jackie is presently on national tour with songs from the new album plus fan favorites from previous albums beginning with a series of concerts at City Winery venues in Nashville, Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Chicago and Atlanta through Oct. "City Winery offers live music, comedy shows and more by top artists", the same type venue as the famous Cafe Carlyle and Feinstein's 54 Below in New York City where Jackie has returned for several command performances. Most recently, she gave a concert in Nashville with nearly full attendance. Among the audience was Chloe Agnew , main vocalist of Celtic Woman, who took several photos with Jackie. She said City Winery Nashville is one her favorite venues for entertainment. Jackie will be in Boston Oct. 16th. Furthermore, Christmas concerts are tentatively scheduled (venues unrevealed as yet). In 2020, she gave 8 outstanding performances as "Kitty" on The Masked Singer season 3 (a TV audience of 7M), followed immediately by 3 back-to-back concerts at the end of Feb. in Utah and Colorado to resume her national tour. Then Covid restrictions but a stop to concert touring in March, so she was out of work. In November, she suffered a serious relapse of anorexia and was hospitalized for inpatient care, now receiving professional treatment. In Jan. of 2021 her back was broken in a car accident which has taken considerable time to heal. These are the circumstances which have contributed to her "languishing in relative obscurity" the past two years. She had understandably been taking it easy while recovering from a serious illness which remains a struggle for her. However, In March of this year, she gave 3 concerts at concert halls in Ft. Lauderdale, Clearwater and The villages in Florida with nearly full attendance and, may I add, several standing ovation at each of them.. Yes, her voice has matured with adulthood, though she has retained her signature soprano clarity while having developed a rich, mellow lower register, increased her range with greater power, developed broader interpretive skills with greater vocal finesse, all contributing to her becoming the most versatile young soprano of this century, having crossed multiple genres. Now she has applied these attributes to yet another genre with her new album. Her most recent official video, "Both Sides Now": ruclips.net/video/hmbK_5coIIg/видео.html&lc=UgzBQjkibZDp4fQxgyd4AaABAg.9cODCsyIYkt9cQORVjSfw_ "Where are all those fans?" They are supporting her as would be expected, and in fact, her RUclips subscriptions have increased by 20,000 the past two years.
All those those celebrity singers that sing for recognition and fame, they have their reward. She has the voice of an angel that lifts all who hear her. Earthy rewards fame and temporary rewards are nothing. Her treasure is waiting for her.
+jcyt0511 My wife calls her a Sanibel Lighthouse (I agree), my son says she's a mermaid, my daughter at her 32 took voice lessons - what's wrong with that girl?
I'm probably not the first guy in history to do it, but when I saw this live two years ago as a 16 year old, I fell in love with her. She's as close to heaven as we can get on this earth.
"That is not a voice. That is an instrument, with the most beautiful tone quality, being used to perfection." I have thought this to myself twice, the first time I heard Whitney Houston sing, two or three decades ago, and just now, when I first heard this performance.
She is an amazing opera & classical singer. Her voice is so melodious that seems like an Angel Singing. I think she is so gorgeous, looks like an angel with her hypnotising voice.
I have listened to this song countless times in my work vehicle and love it, but watching her perform it with such passion on stage opened the flood gates! It's so beautiful it's hard to watch with tears streaming out of your eyes! Speechless and running out of Kleenex! I am forever regretting I missed attending this concert!
I COMPLETELY understand what you're going through with listening & watching JEM sing. I just turned (a young) 61 on the 7th, and ever since JEM was on AGT, all I need to do is JUST THINK of her to get teary-eyed, It gets more when I listen, and even more when I watch her. At first, I thought I was the only one who had these symptoms, until I found many others like you who were struck with her in this way, and we still are. I have a theory on why this happens, but it's an otherworldly explanation. Another thing, Sir Ironman, and you are not so 'iron' are you as far as JEM is concerned?!!, I find it VERY SPECIAL to respond to JEM thusly, and I wonder why you, I, and thousands of others respond to her like this. Another thing, exactly last year at this time she hosted the MUZART function (but it wasn't one of her concerts) and I missed it, and also her concert at the Maverick Center, Salt Lake City, 3-31-12, and I missed that one too (lack of transport - I live about 50 south of the Maverick Center), So I can understand you missing your concert. I'll be safe to say that you WON'T MISS the airing of this LONGWOODS Concert in DEC will you? One question, I haven't seen when this event was filmed, I think early summer, but I've never seen an exact date...Can you, or anyone else give me the exact date of the filming of this event?
Royalchess1 Auguet 23rd, I had the option of going to one of three concerts scheduled in August, Chautauqua, NY on Aug 8th, Lancaster Aug 10 or Longwood Gardens Aug 23rd. I picked Lancaster due to the hot summer weather I was more comfortable indoors in air conditioning. Now, knowing what I missed, I would have braved the fires of hell to have seen this concert in person!
***** Again I assure you, dear friend, that although the mechanics of making such an elaborate PBS special are fascinating to observe, you are getting the fullest impact of Jackie's angelic singing and persona right here in high def and colorful close-ups, etc. While it's nice to have been present at so historic an event, I think the full complete PBS show, and hopefully a good DVD thereof, will impart to any Jackie FANatic the full and wonderful impact of her amazing artistry (still so angelic, yet growing richer),lovely looks (still more like a mid- to late- teen), and neat personality (modest and thoughtful, exuberantly 14-year-old, caring, devout, and often wise beyond her years). Each song from her new AWAKENING album grows more on me each time I hear it :) Am breathlessly awaiting December; must find out when local PBS station(s) will present this, her THIRD (!!! :) :) :)) GREAT PERFORMANCES special :)
derrick howlett PBS Station WTTW is offering Jackie's new Longwood Gardens Concert DVD for the $72.00 pledge level! Read more at: secure.wttw.com/catalog/detail?productid=PJKEAD&standalone=1
Magnificent rendition of Ave Maria by Jackie, who was once referred to as "The Ave Maria girl" in her hometown because she sang it so often at local venues. This grabs you and holds you until the last note. After the last note, then you've gotta play it again.
Jackie is phenomenal! I wish I could understand how she sings so perfectly. In an interview a few years ago, an interviewer asked Jackie if she notices that she's, "In touch," with what she is singing. Jackie's response was that she is mesmerized by the music, and it's clear to all of us that she is. She is poised, charming, polite, beautiful (in-side and out), well spoken, mature for her age, and of course a spectacular singer. She shows a lot of emotion through her facial expressions in this one. I love when she closes her eyes as she's hitting those high notes. I hope Jackie realizes what she does to her audience! Absolutely astonishing and astounding. Bravo Jackie!
I turned 70 this year so I guess time is running. If I am ever to hear this divine singer in concert live I may have to consider a holiday in the states
Through a recent interview Jackie spoke of performing in England sometime this summer. Its my guess there will be other performances in Europe as well, at least I am hoping so. Rather an exciting thought!
German müller You're welcome! I used share a house with 3 German students in England. They always asked me to correct them If they made a grammatical mistake. I guess I can't break the habit now. lol
After...many years....still love Jackie. So talented and beautiful..Beautiful voice. Beautiful all on it. She....still signing??? I do not know nothing about her..But....when I am listen songs in her performences. I am always crying..Love her..
No way this is common or natural...this must be Godly...Heavenly...angelic...personally I listen to this angel whenever I need help from my creator...Such a Devine Voice...God bless you Jackie!
This is why so many fans travel long distances and cross oceans to see and hear her. She has unique qualities and provides listeners with feelings they don't experience with other singers.
My dad took us to Longwood Gardens for several years, and when he died of Covid-19 in 2021... I was not able to comfort him in his last days, but hope he heard her singing....Sorry for your loss as well.
My dad also took us to Longwood Gardens for several years, as he was the Director of Delaware State Parks...He also taught at the University of Delaware and Oglebay Park in Wheeling West Virginia...I ended up in the New Castle County Delaware Forestry Department, and we went to Longwood Gardens to see how they also took care of trees.
I'm not one who is easily moved to tears, but listening to her the flood gates open. the most beautiful sound I have ever heard from a human being. Sounds like angels singing.
I may be only 16 but I don't think I have ever heard anything as beautiful her voice in this song. I may not have cried from her performance but that was truly beautiful.
The Angels in Heaven are astounded when this Beautiful child, young lady sings. She brings tears to my eyes every time she sings, every time I hear her voice because her voice is simply superlative & divinely inspired. Thank you for sharing this.
Even God is Astounded every day as well as utterly shocked when it comes to some of the evils as well as the intellect of some Humans on this Planet. Since you've never been there, how could a person know about what can & can't be done in that realm? Unless they've been Supernaturally Inspired. I know.
+sandra clory. It is in our different perceptions, mine is different from yours because we have different beliefs. I cannot force you to believe mine nor you to me because we are two different DNAs.
A recent article from a reporter regarding Jackie Evancho's version of this song very accurately reflects the sentiments of all of her fans and admirers. To paraphrase part of what he wrote: "....Jackie Evancho has one of the most gorgeous voices in contemporary music, and her version of "Ave Maria" proves why." The entire article can be found at "Digital Journal". The reporter's words are very complimentary, especially in the closing paragraph where he refers to Jackie's 14 year old voice as an "eighth world wonder". Enjoy reading it, and good day to everyone.
I`m Muslim and I don`t understand what she saying but I really goose-bumped and for a moment I just felt like I`m in a different place that I can find peace...ohhhh what an amzaing feel
She's like a siren from greek mythology. Exept for the part where sirens eat whoever... you know what. She has an angelic voice sent from god, or in your case Allah.
I can not quit watching this. I agree that hearing this on the CD isn't as emotional as seeing her sing in this beautiful garden. She is truly gifted and a beautiful girl as well! I hope this concert comes out on DVD.
I got mine for a 7.00 monthly donation to PBS (plus shipping) They give it to you as a gift for the donation. got it in about a week. lakeshorepublicmedia.org/
the beauty and purity of Jackie's voice is unique and incomparable, divine interpretation and your physical beauty,stunning!,... a being almost unreal.
One million thanks jackie!! A prayer yours Jackie, with that wonderful voice must be worth for God as a million of our prayers,thank you again ...dear jackie! godbles
WOW! She's beautiful and she can sing like a Angel that came down from heaven! I swear I watched this three times, and each time I got more chills. I almost started to cry! This was absolutely breathtaking.. I remember when she was just ten and tried out for A.G.T. this girl is just amazing..
I’ve listened to you sing this song for awhile now. You are a beautiful singer and God gave you a beautiful voice. This song was my mother in law’s favorite song. I only knew this part about her when she was alive but I learned so much about her after she passed away so in her memory I listen only to you singing this song to remember her. Thank you so much, God Bless 🙏❤️🎤👩😀
Dear Jackie, You, are a princess, a queen of music !, You were born to sing and give relief to the most hapless heart and Also at the same time, to sing the most powerful men in the world And infuse love into their hearts, presidents and kings will remember your name; God has blessed you with that beautiful gift , girl precious
Remarkably, this is actually occurring, regardless of anyone's opinion of her singing, she has been doing this before the most powerful men on earth. Stunning...and people doubt there is a God. She is breathtaking.
I am not certain Jackie is proof God exists, I am not even sure that can be proven at all, for or against, its a matter of individual faith (although Jackie herself has said she considers her voice a gift from God). What I am certain of is Jackie is proof there is still profound beauty and goodness in our troubled world.
She has lots of fans from all over the music spectrum. I found her in 2014 and went to check her out in concert. Videos and CD's don't do justice to how good she is live.
I was in a crummy dive in downtown Santa Monica in mid-1967. A total unknown named Linda Ronstadt started singing, and I knew instantaneously what was going to happen with her. The next time I felt that same way, I was listening to tiny 10-year old Jackie Evancho in an old church in downtown Houston, performing her very first actual concert.
Sept 2024.Such an exceptional algelic angelic voice. The music flew from the sky to my mind and body .Heart many versions but Jacky version is the best of the best.
Jackie 'a voice is a true gift from God. Her voice seeks to bless all of us and her genuine love of the music and her true understanding of each songs message is a blessing to each of us. I am a student of voice, many years ago. Listening to Jackie, has given me all the courage I need to recognize my own voice again . I find it singing with hers. Perhaps the music will not die inside me. Thank you God for showing us your love through Jackie Evancho. AMEN MEREDITH
I discovered Jackie Evancho by accident in 2011 and since then I have enjoyed her music and her incredible journey. At the beginning, I investigated until I was convinced that she was doing what she really wanted, that she was loved and protected by her family without serving the interests of others, without mistreated her childhood. Then I began to buy her music to support her, delighted by her singing and inspired by her example. I never had an interest in child artists or prodigies and this time it was not different. What interested me was her singing, the beauty, the expressiveness, the naturalness, the magnificence, the depth and the dignity in the emotion that she manages to transmit. In all these years, I have read all kinds of comments and sometimes I have write a few ones. I have never commented outside the theme of music, but this time I will make an exception and I will be way off topic. I warn the reader to go ahead at their own discretion and I apologize for how extensive it will be (and for my english). In my own personal vision, JE has always been true to her path, the crossover. In music, crossover refers to crossing the boundaries that separate genres, mixing elements of both to unite and integrate them in harmony and beauty. Crossover comes from crossing over, which means to cross a limit that separates or divides two different contexts. From the first moment, JE has done a crossover that goes far beyond the musical genres. She did a crossover in age when she began to interpret extremely adult themes. This allowed her to do a crossover of generations, reaching the hearts of people much older than her. She did a crossover of cultures, singing in languages that were unknown to her. But as it grows, emerge borders more complex and more difficult to overcome. In spite of that, she faced them with an extraordinary courage and heart. She did a social crossover when passed over the line that was trying to divide the heart of her own family. Without taking into account the consequences, she expressed her love, understanding and support for her sister. In time, the musical genre that had allowed her to reach so many was separating her from her youth and from her own generation. So she started a crossover towards pop music. And when a much more complex line divided the heart of her country, she did a crossover in politics showing respect for her homeland’s traditions. JE’s journey is a reflection of her intention not to put herself above others, to connect with people, to promote union and harmony, to show respect and compassion for all. But this road is not easy nor safe, because in each border that someone crosses there are always some people who feel offended. Some got upset because she sang adult songs without being old enough or because she wanted to sing classical music without submitting to classical technique. Others were upset because she crossed generations and their audiences were elder or simply because she included pop in her repertoire. Of course, many more were upset when she crossed social and political lines. It is curious that people who defend these borders react in a similar way when they see someone crossing them, they get angry, offend, threaten and announce apocalyptic calamities: "She will lose her voice", "in five years nobody will remember her", "she will fall in vices and drugs”, "her fans will abandon her", "God is no longer with her" and things like that. None of these prophecies has been fulfilled, but that does not mean that her challenges are less difficult. In the same way, if she cannot reach mainstream stardom, her achievements will not be less extraordinary. The path that JE has chosen is much more important than if she manages to be more or less popular. It is the path of integrity and self-respect above fame and popularity. The longest and most difficult road, but where every step is worthwhile. It has been almost 10 years since she went to see that movie that defined her life and impacted for the good to so many people who have found in her singing a source of rejoicing and inspiration. Since she began to share those videos singing in her room until today, the spiral of life has taken a big turn. She went through the most complex moments, managed to preserve her identity, her freedom and her integrity. Without sacrificing her childhood, without renouncing to her principles, she is on the verge of a new era that she will face armed with talent, resources and experience. A monumental achievement under any measure. An achievement that began with her first crossover and continues until today. But her first crossover was none of the ones I mentioned. Respecting the beliefs of each one, for me her first crossover is repeated every time the music begins and in a purely intuitive way, she crosses the border that separates her from her own soul. In doing so, she becomes a ageless being, because through intuition flows the knowledge and understanding achieved through the experiences of countless previous lives, a knowledge that we all of us carry within and that we can reach just like her. JE perfectly describes the contact with her own soul when she tells David Foster in "Dream with Me in Concert": "when I sing, something overpowers me and makes me feel very comfortable and very happy". Through this intuitive connection, JE not only manages to express emotions that are far beyond her years, but also, without knowing or pretending it, provides her singing with a quality that helps the listener to do the same, to establish a connection with his own soul. The emotion, peace and love that flood those who manage to establish this deep connection with their own being, is what causes many people to describe similar experiences. They feel moved to tears, they can spend hours or days listening to her sing. They are overwhelmed by peace, understanding, a sense of purpose, they recover their ingenuity and hope, they feel young again, they are filled with energy and they experience a healing that relieves their sorrows. This is not something for idolize Jackie, nor to treasure her or try to control her destiny. It is something very simple, something that is learned and deserved, something that each person could achieve through meditation or a serious search for the part of God that lives in each one. This quality of JE's singing is not a gift from God, nor is she an angel with wings or without them. Pretending that, serves only to separate and isolate her. It is going against what JE has tried to do all these years, connect with people through her singing. Jackie Evancho is a human being like all of us, but one that has learned and deserved the intuitive knowledge we call talent. She is using this impressive knowledge in her singing and her journey giving to us a wonderful opportunity to enjoy music and discover what we can achieve if we begin to cross those artificial boundaries that separate us from others and from our true self.
I couldn't read any further than "Then I began to buy her music to support her" You're so far out with your analysis. When anyone buys Jackie's music, the are supporting the "family business" That means ALL of them, including brother "Juliet's" sex change procedures, and her stay-at-home mom and dad.
Music, it is a language that transcends all barriers. With music, any unspeakable thoughts, emotions, may come to light and be heard by all who bother to listen. Angelical.
EndlessFunctionality I hope can hear her in concert instead of out in the cold winter air in DC where the whole world was watching her. Most impressive human being.
there is no point of comparison !, the voice and the interpretation of Jackie are infinitely superior,this song belongs to Jackie, for ever and ever, and amen!
@@hakanselvander9071 You mean Amira Willighagen? She is a wonderful singer, and a very thoughtful and kindhearted young lady. Amira has made it clear that she dislikes and is embarrassed by "so called fans" posting garbage on her friend Jackie's videos. If you were not a complete ass, you would be 'sorry' for your childish behavior.
@@hakanselvander9071 Most all Amira fans don't know what good opera singing should sound like. Amira is a good journeyman beginner with a great top range, and as such is very advanced by that measure but that's about it.
She is absolutely stunning. A voice of an angel and seamless control. I could listen to her all day. Yet, all her video views added up don't come close to what they call pop music today. This young woman is truly gifted and it makes no sense why she isn't in the multimillions when it comes to popularity. Such a sad and shallow world we live in. God bless you Jackie.
+John Greeneyes Perhaps Jackie's relative obscurity is a blessing in disguise (for now). Flying under the radar helps Jackie preserve a fairly "normal" lifestyle for a teenage girl, allowing her to enjoy family, friends and school when she can. Interviewers ask Jackie how her life has changed, and all she can come up with is, "I travel more." But when she is home, everyone treats her like a "normal girl". That may change in the near future, but hopefully she'll be ready when it does.
Never believed in angels..."Great Soul"..Great Voice"...life is always happy and better when you hear the voice of an "Angel"..Thanks Jackie..Now I believe in Angels
I played this for my dying mother....wanted her last minutes on this earth to be beautiful. Then I cried. I miss you mom!!
Barry Boyd if life gives me the choice I’d love to have Jackie’s voice singing this song to be the last sounds I hear🌹bless you Jackie🦋
Barry Boyd I am an old man and I too want to greet my maker with this song in my heart, your moTher did not miss this gesture in her passing........ god bless you
John
@@DELTA19ACTUAL Bless your Mom Barry! A different song for my Mom when she went, but I KNOW!
Barry, blessings and a big hug from this mom that wishes her kids do the same
Take care I'm dealing with alot of bad things from bad people right now
Heart 💕❤️❤️ my 10 year old daughter passed with cancer she liked this when the priest done the mas of the angels they sang this makes my cry this young lady has the voice of an angel bless her 🙏 amen
❤
I'm so sorry that yo lost your daughter. prayers for you
I would honestly say, her voice is so magic that like pure spring water it entirely penetrates your brains, making it feel a pleasant relaxation, great enjoyment, faith in beautiful life, a great desire to live, believe in positive ways, have a sense of virginity and innocence, absolutely forgetting about everything that challenge your dwelling in this fragile world.
YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ANGELIC!
I am so aggreable a voice of an angel❤❤❤
My sister sang this in school, God rest her soul, this makes me cry without fail, it's so beautiful
The older she gets, the better she gets. Her voice is like a great wine improving and becoming smoother and more complex. Wonderful.
+John Holzhey I really love her current voice but also her Dream with Me voice if this is like a fine Cabernet Sauvignon then her early voice is like a fine smokey scotch maybe 10 years old but hinting of much more maturity.
+John Holzhey I KNEW she was going to be a beautiful woman as she ages when I FIRST SAW HER.
So Frank, why don't you have a seat over here?
Piekenier Over where, Piekenier ?
Lol. Nice to catch a predator joke :P
As close to God and Heaven that you are going to get on this earth.We love you Jackie and thank you.
I can't believe there are people who are negative about the singing of Jackie Evancho! The voice is remarkable and the craftsmanship is consummate! This girl is a gift to the world and these naysayers don't deserve her!
Michael DEAK I completely agree with you!
can anyone sing Pie Jesu, Dormi Jesu, Ave Maria and Nessun Dorma, Nella Fantasia,etc, better than Jackie?
answer:
anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; Jackie is only
Michael DEAK Try to not worry about those "naysayers", Michael. They have been hounding Jackie Evancho's videos since the first one appeared here on RUclips during the America's Got Talent show. The trolls and haters are constantly on the lookout for any new videos from her so that they can post their negative remarks. Just pretend that they do not exist and enjoy the music. Good day to you, sir.
its not called being a troll if we dont like her voice omg we can have our own opinion. i think shes average but if i say anything like that i get more hate than what i wud give
+Stephanie Cheng No hate here! You're entitled to your opinion, of course. My disagreement is with
your characterization of Jackie as average! THAT is my criticism; Jackie is the antithesis of "average". She has an extraordinary voice by any measure. She has great technique, perfect intonation and an "old soul" in a 15 year-old body! You don't have to like her voice, but you raised the ire of most of us by disparaging her vocal proficiency and musicianship! At least my judgment comes from decades of musicianship--both in composition and performance, and there is general consensus that Jackie is extraordinary!
shes okay, but shes a bit inexperienced. listen to her 'think of me'. u think she sounds fine, but she doesnt reach the end quite right. you cant possibly say shes perfect. she definitely did not have perfect intonation in that. its not like im hating on her.
i say shes average and thats criticism?? if i say shes good will you drop it
I remember the first time I saw you on that show. You had the voice of an angel and you still have it. I love you Jackie 💗💗
This singer, I was not introduced to until after my late soulmate had passed. I would have had this played at her funeral. I cry EVERY time I hear it. 😢
i have never heard a voice as beautiful as this in my entire life.
faja harry Charlotte Church ....
That is because there "is" no other voice as beautiful as this in the world!!
faja harry : She’s so beautiful, too. I just love her voice!
Krypton yes when she was her age as well.
Me too
Her voice is what I believe an angel would sound like. p.s. this is not Mary this is her husband. This young woman is amazing!
I can't believe this is mary's husband and not mary lol
Beautiful voice of a beautiful young woman. Song reminds you to get closer to God thru his son Jesus!
What is wrong with all you complainers. This girl is exceptionally talented. If you don't like her singing, stop listening to her. Gosh people just have to put others down. I don't see your name in lights anywhere. Get a life.
Great comment, Patricia. Your statements were all accurate and direct to the point. The "people" that you made mention of are the jealous trolls and haters that have been polluting Jackie's videos with their spiteful and hateful remarks for over 4 years now. They are simply wasting their time here because none of her fans and admirers ever take them seriously. They are all laughable. Good day to you.
Who is complaining in this room? No one!
Jackie Evancho version of ave maria is the most beautiful version ive ever heard..fantastic voice..Like an angel singing from heaven
Amira willighagen
Absolutely
Agree
Just HOW IN THE WORLD, COULD PEOPLE NOT LOVE THIS?
+Frank Welch that is a good question?
lol exactly
+ussaratoga Well, I am a confirmed heathen and avoid anything religious where possible - except where Jackie is concerned.
The beauty of her voice overcomes all obstacles.
My almighty God gave this child a very wonderful talen, and I love to hear her sing. If you think and say you are a heathen, then I believe that you are REALLY lying to yoyrself, but you REALLY believe in the ALMIGHTY. Just saying.
+ussaratoga
:-)
A few minutes of peace and heaven with our beloved mother !!
This is what makes me believe true talent is born and merely guided not made.
This voice is almost not human.. It is the voice of an angel ..a gift from God above. Bless you Jackie...
Every gift is from God. You are right.
I'm a wounded soldier medically retired been through hell and back... I can't stop crying, "ALLUDAME, VIRGEN MARIA, MADRE DE DIOS"!!!! "GOD HELP ME", Am so hurt hurt in my soul!!!!
+Ronald Diaz "The ego does not recognise the real source of "threat," and if you associate yourself with the ego, you do not understand the situation as it is.
Only your allegiance to it gives the ego any power over you. I have spoken of the ego as if it were a separate thing,
acting on it's own.
This was necessary to persauade you that you cannot dismiss it lightly, and must realize how much of your thinking is ego directed.
We cannot safely let it go at that, however, or you will regard yourself as necessarily conflicted as long as you are here, or as long as you believe that you are here.
The ego is nothing more than a part of your belief about yourself. Your other life in Heaven has continued without interruption, ans has been and always will be totally unaffected by your attempts to dissociate it.
In learning to escape from illusions, your debt to your brother is something you must never forget. It is the same debt that you owe to Me.
Whenever you act egotistically towards another, you are throwing away the graciousness of your indebtedness and the Holly Perception it would produce.
The term "Holy" can be used here because as you learn how much you are indebted to the whole sonship, which includes Me, you come as close to Knowledge as perception can. The gap is then so small that Knowledge can flow across it to obliterate it forever.
You have very little trust in Me as yet, but it will increase as you turn more and more often to Me instead of the ego for guidance. The results will convince you increasingly that this choice is the only sane one you can make.
No one who learns form experiance that one choice brings Peace and Joy while another brings chaos and disaster
needs additional convincing. Learning through rewards is more effective than learning through pain, because pain is an ego illusion, and can never induce more than a tempoary effect.
The rewards of God however are immediately recognised as Eternal. Since this recognition is made by you and not the ego, the recognition itself establishes that you and your ego cannot be identical, You may believe that you have already accepted the difference, but you are by no means convinced as yet.
The fact that you believe you must escape from the ego shows this, but you cannot escape from the ego by hummbling it or controlling it or punishing it.
The ego and the Spirit do not know each other. The separated mind cannot maintain the separation except by dissoctiating. Having does this, it denies all truly natural impulses, not because the ego is a separate thing, but because you want to believe that YOU are.
The ego is a device for maintaining this belief, but it is still only your decision to use the device that enables it ot endure.
How can you teach someone the value of something he has deliberately thrown away? He must have thrown it away because he did not value it. You can only show him how miserable he is without it, and slowly bring it nearer so he can learn how his misery lessens as he approaches it.
This teaches heim to assocaite his misery with its absence, and the opposite of misery with its presence. It gradully becomes desirable as he changes his mind about its worth.
I am teaching you to associate misery with the ego and Joy with the Spirit. You have tausght yourself the opposite. You are still free to choose, but can you really want the rewards of the ego in the presence of the rewards of God?
My Trust in You is greater than yours in Me at the moment, but it will not always be that way. Your mission is simple. You are asked to live so as to demonstrate that you are not an ego, and I do not choose God's channels wrongly.
The Holy One shares My Turst and accepts My Atonement decisions because My decisions are never out of accord with His. I have said before that I am in charge of the Atonement.
This is only because I completed My part in it as a man, and now complete it through others. My chosen channels cannot fail, because I will lend them MY Strength as long as theirs is wanting.
You are the light of the world, Who is the light of world except God's Son? This then is the merely a statement of the truth about yourself.
It is the opposite of a statement of pride, arrogance, or self-deception. It does not describe the self-concept you have made. It does not refer to any of the characteristics with which you have endowed your idols. It refers to you as you were created by God. It simply states the Truth.
To the ego this idea is the epitome of self-glorification. But the ego does not understand humility mistaking it for self-debasement.
Humility consists of accepting your role in salvation and in taking no other. It is not humility to insist you cannot be the light of the world if that is the function God assigned to you.
It is only arrogance that would assert this function cannot be for you, and arrogance is always of the ego. True humility requires that you accept this idea because it is God's Voice which tells you it is True.
This is a beginning step in accepting your real function on earth, It is a giant stride toward taking your rightful place in salvation. It is a positive assertion of your right to be saved, and an acknowledgement of the power that is given you to save others.
It is the prefect answer to illusions, and therefore to all temptation. It brings all the images you have made about yourself to the Truth, and helps you depart in Peace, unburdened and certain of your purpose.
This idea goes far beyond the ego's petty views of what your are and what your purpose is, As the Bringer of salvation, this obviously necessary,
You are the light of the world. God has built His plan for the salvation of His Son on you.
Tell yourself this often
I am the light of the world, That is my only
function.
That is why I am here." "ACIM""
+Ronald Diaz I am also a Catholic who have been going through very traumatic issues. I'd like to suggest, if you don't mind, two very beautiful resources: "Into your hands, Father" by Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen (available in print and ebook formats) and "Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence" by Fr Jean Baptiste Saint-Jure and St Claude de la Colombiere (www.olrl.org/snt_docs/trustful/). St John Paul II's encyclical "Salvifici Doloris" is also very beautiful, and this website (catholiceducation.org) has many wonderful resources. May the Lord bless you and comfort you, and may He reveal His love and presence in your sufferings and make them fruitful. Have courage and be strong in Him!
you've brought this upon yourself for serving a corrupt government that just uses puppet to achieve power and wealth. but I think there is hope for you, praying is not the answer, finding people or a person that care and loves you may be the answer, and their are doctors out there that can treat or ease the pain. some of these comments are religious, but they are right about one thing, you must let go of your ego, or you will hurt the people around you as you just hurt others from other nations. I'm not saying that isis is good, they are monsters and have a lust for blood. but aren't our soldiers any different. there are few soldiers that have integrity and honor in the American military, so back the matter. you are in pain, yes? Then find people that live and care about you and have your doctor's treat any of your physical suffering. Remember, physical pain is not so easily healed, but LOVE will always heal the heart and your emotional pain. it can be anyone.
Look I can't apologize for saying that the the U.S. Is evil (especially when there are people who are selfish in this nation). But I do apologize for my condescending additude towards you Rondald. There are alot of people that have integrity and love in their hearts, especially people who love and care about you. I have no empathy for soldiers from any nation; however, you are human and you're in pain. All I have to say is hang in there, stay strong find comfort in unconditional love from people around you. this is all I have to say.
+Ronald Diaz You are in my prayers Amigo. You are not alone brother.
Sometimes you wonder what the composer really wanted it to sound like, perhaps this is THE rendition
Besides her exquisite voice....there is something ethereal in her eyes, her innate sense and countenance. Something unearthly. No one can touch her.
agree!
That ethereal in her eyes, she has always had. Watch her video of the PBS special when she was ten singing Angel. Her soul shined thru so beautifully while she sung that song. INDEED, she is that angel.
When she sings since ten years old, I felt that it’s like a super natural being takes over her body and sings through her.
No one can touch her,,,?
She was,, by GOD given talent.
Except Amira Willighagen.
Jackie Evancho, at 14, a fine wine with aging becoming richer in flavor and fuller bodied. I am so happy for her. She is a blessing indeed for all people and cute to boot!!!!
Jackie is the perfection that everyone else is striving for in the musical world.
The beautiful interpretation of this prayer comes from her heart. Then nothing to add. Connecting with her follows silence, bless.
No one sings like her. A gift from God
Well said Sir, I do WholeHartley agree..👍
Charlotte Church
AMIRA..
Yes. Because many sing better 😂
Ed Cortorreal I’ve always thought Jackie was better although Amira is good, Jackie has now branched out to even more genres singing county and pop songs where she can really belt out her notes, she is further proving her ability she’s always had. She sang Celine dions “it’s all coming back to me now” which is a really hard song to sing the way Celine does. She sang an Amy whinehouse song and nailed that too. Jackie is a vocal chameleon
She appears lost in the music... as it should be. She and the music are truly one in this performance.
Yahoooooo!!! Someone who actually gets it!!!!
Yes - "Possessed by the music" as Jackie has put it, and especially with such a prayer-like song!
This is the best version of Ave Maria I've heard in my life, before it was sung by Jackie, I think I heard it a couple of times, without feeling anything special; But in Jackie's voice this composition it is divine, sublime and ethereal
tom cully's rendition - angelic!!
Celine dion version is also my top pick.
Tigreblanco066 Try Nina Solodovnikova’s version, it seems spiritual.
Chloe Agnew's version from Celtic Woman is very angelic as well. Jackie's and Chloe's renditions are in my top 5!
Look for Charlotte Church version and get blown away
Jackie Evancho at age 14, born April 9, 2000 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a baptized practiciing Roman Catholic who says that her voice is a gift from God to the World. She has sung for the Pope and she wears a chastity purity ring.
...her voice is a gift from God ("to the World" -your words, not hers).
I am Japanese buddhist man I love her purity voice.
+dragon77411 It would be great, listen to Jackie singing religious songs of Asian in the future
yes,I thik so too.
dragon77411
ok!,voice and talent Jackie has to be Universal
This is one of the most exquisitely beautiful things I have ever heard. What an incredibly beautiful voice. This is by far the most beautiful version of this song that I have ever heard. Amazingly talented, intelligent, beautiful young lady with a voice straight from heaven.
Прекрасный💕😍💕😍 проникновеный голос!!!!!
I agree. I also like the interpretation of Charlotte Church
Es una buena versión, pero no comparable con la extraordinaria interpretación de Inessa Galante.
Imho, Amira Willighagen's Ave Maria by W Gomez is other-worldly! And she has no huge orchestra just her brother on violin, mother on recorder (poorly) and her father on church pipe organ. There is no doubt she is from God to raise this dying world up. Here she is a mere 11, now she is 18 and even better. Please listen - ruclips.net/video/n66udAMmCDM/видео.html
@@cmlarose50 Sorry, but at 11, her voice lacked pitch control. Couldn't listen to a complete song. She DID get a lot better, though, so I'll spot you a point for her age 18 work.
It is beyond a tragedy that someone of Jackie's talent now languishes in relative obscurity, performing at C-list venues with empty seats, when once she was America's darling and was woshipped by millions. Where are all those fans now? Her voice is different now, yes, but that innate something-else that she had as a child performer is still there, albeit changed, matured. I hope her career picks up again and she recovers from her health issues and finds happiness.
Jackie's new album, her ninth in 12 years, was released Sep. 9, 2022......"Carousel of Time" is a tribute to the legendary singer/songwriter, Jon Mitchell which hit the Amazon Folk Music chart at #1 and remains at #2 in New Releases.
Jackie is presently on national tour with songs from the new album plus fan favorites from previous albums beginning with a series of concerts at City Winery venues in Nashville, Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Chicago and Atlanta through Oct. "City Winery offers live music, comedy shows and more by top artists", the same type venue as the famous Cafe Carlyle and Feinstein's 54 Below in New York City where Jackie has returned for several command performances. Most recently, she gave a concert in Nashville with nearly full attendance. Among the audience was Chloe Agnew , main vocalist of Celtic Woman, who took several photos with Jackie. She said City Winery Nashville is one her favorite venues for entertainment. Jackie will be in Boston Oct. 16th. Furthermore, Christmas concerts are tentatively scheduled (venues unrevealed as yet).
In 2020, she gave 8 outstanding performances as "Kitty" on The Masked Singer season 3 (a TV audience of 7M), followed immediately by 3 back-to-back concerts at the end of Feb. in Utah and Colorado to resume her national tour. Then Covid restrictions but a stop to concert touring in March, so she was out of work. In November, she suffered a serious relapse of anorexia and was hospitalized for inpatient care, now receiving professional treatment. In Jan. of 2021 her back was broken in a car accident which has taken considerable time to heal. These are the circumstances which have contributed to her "languishing in relative obscurity" the past two years. She had understandably been taking it easy while recovering from a serious illness which remains a struggle for her. However, In March of this year, she gave 3 concerts at concert halls in Ft. Lauderdale, Clearwater and The villages in Florida with nearly full attendance and, may I add, several standing ovation at each of them..
Yes, her voice has matured with adulthood, though she has retained her signature soprano clarity while having developed a rich, mellow lower register, increased her range with greater power, developed broader interpretive skills with greater vocal finesse, all contributing to her becoming the most versatile young soprano of this century, having crossed multiple genres. Now she has applied these attributes to yet another genre with her new album.
Her most recent official video, "Both Sides Now": ruclips.net/video/hmbK_5coIIg/видео.html&lc=UgzBQjkibZDp4fQxgyd4AaABAg.9cODCsyIYkt9cQORVjSfw_
"Where are all those fans?" They are supporting her as would be expected, and in fact, her RUclips subscriptions have increased by 20,000 the past two years.
All those those celebrity singers that sing for recognition and fame, they have their reward. She has the voice of an angel that lifts all who hear her. Earthy rewards fame and temporary rewards are nothing. Her treasure is waiting for her.
Simply she doesnt eat babies and sacrifice them she is not an illuminati
She's definitely good or even very good. But she doesn't reach the level of Amira Willighagen !
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

She is singing down from a tall mountain at the splendor of our world.
+jcyt0511 My wife calls her a Sanibel Lighthouse (I agree), my son says she's a mermaid, my daughter at her 32 took voice lessons - what's wrong with that girl?
I'm probably not the first guy in history to do it, but when I saw this live two years ago as a 16 year old, I fell in love with her. She's as close to heaven as we can get on this earth.
I work part time in a Catholic religious store. I listen to Jackie just about ever day.
"That is not a voice. That is an instrument, with the most beautiful tone quality, being used to perfection." I have thought this to myself twice, the first time I heard Whitney Houston sing, two or three decades ago, and just now, when I first heard this performance.
She is an amazing opera & classical singer. Her voice is so melodious that seems like an Angel Singing. I think she is so gorgeous, looks like an angel with her hypnotising voice.
Never get tired listening to such angelic voice.
It's such a delight to listen to her sing Ave Maria once more.
I have listened to this song countless times in my work vehicle and love it, but watching her perform it with such passion on stage opened the flood gates! It's so beautiful it's hard to watch with tears streaming out of your eyes! Speechless and running out of Kleenex! I am forever regretting I missed attending this concert!
As a singer, Jackie is maturing beautifully. As a performer she pulls us in. She is gifted well beyond her years 😂
I COMPLETELY understand what you're going through with listening & watching JEM sing. I just turned (a young) 61 on the 7th, and ever since JEM was on AGT, all I need to do is JUST THINK of her to get teary-eyed, It gets more when I listen, and even more when I watch her. At first, I thought I was the only one who had these symptoms, until I found many others like you who were struck with her in this way, and we still are. I have a theory on why this happens, but it's an otherworldly explanation. Another thing, Sir Ironman, and you are not so 'iron' are you as far as JEM is concerned?!!, I find it VERY SPECIAL to respond to JEM thusly, and I wonder why you, I, and thousands of others respond to her like this. Another thing, exactly last year at this time she hosted the MUZART function (but it wasn't one of her concerts) and I missed it, and also her concert at the Maverick Center, Salt Lake City, 3-31-12, and I missed that one too (lack of transport - I live about 50 south of the Maverick Center), So I can understand you missing your concert. I'll be safe to say that you WON'T MISS the airing of this LONGWOODS Concert in DEC will you? One question, I haven't seen when this event was filmed, I think early summer, but I've never seen an exact date...Can you, or anyone else give me the exact date of the filming of this event?
Royalchess1
Auguet 23rd, I had the option of going to one of three concerts scheduled in August, Chautauqua, NY on Aug 8th, Lancaster Aug 10 or Longwood Gardens Aug 23rd. I picked Lancaster due to the hot summer weather I was more comfortable indoors in air conditioning. Now, knowing what I missed, I would have braved the fires of hell to have seen this concert in person!
***** Again I assure you, dear friend, that although the mechanics of making such an elaborate PBS special are fascinating to observe, you are getting the fullest impact of Jackie's angelic singing and persona right here in high def and colorful close-ups, etc. While it's nice to have been present at so historic an event, I think the full complete PBS show, and hopefully a good DVD thereof, will impart to any Jackie FANatic the full and wonderful impact of her amazing artistry (still so angelic, yet growing richer),lovely looks (still more like a mid- to late- teen), and neat personality (modest and thoughtful, exuberantly 14-year-old, caring, devout, and often wise beyond her years). Each song from her new AWAKENING album grows more on me each time I hear it :) Am breathlessly awaiting December; must find out when local PBS station(s) will present this, her THIRD (!!! :) :) :)) GREAT PERFORMANCES special :)
derrick howlett PBS Station WTTW is offering Jackie's new Longwood Gardens Concert DVD for the $72.00 pledge level! Read more at: secure.wttw.com/catalog/detail?productid=PJKEAD&standalone=1
Magnificent rendition of Ave Maria by Jackie, who was once referred to as "The Ave Maria girl" in her hometown because she sang it so often at local venues. This grabs you and holds you until the last note. After the last note, then you've gotta play it again.
And thank god for his precious gift! Amen!
What did I just hear???? I never knew that a human being could sing like this....
Oh! She has an angelical voice. It's beautiful.
Jackie is phenomenal! I wish I could understand how she sings so perfectly. In an interview a few years ago, an interviewer asked Jackie if she notices that she's, "In touch," with what she is singing. Jackie's response was that she is mesmerized by the music, and it's clear to all of us that she is. She is poised, charming, polite, beautiful (in-side and out), well spoken, mature for her age, and of course a spectacular singer. She shows a lot of emotion through her facial expressions in this one. I love when she closes her eyes as she's hitting those high notes. I hope Jackie realizes what she does to her audience! Absolutely astonishing and astounding. Bravo Jackie!
***** Thank you Chuck! I appreciate those kind words.
Jackie applies Quality to Quantity. May we all learn to do the same! I am going to try!
I turned 70 this year so I guess time is running. If I am ever to hear this divine singer in concert live I may have to consider a holiday in the states
Welcome to the 'Jackieverse.'
Through a recent interview Jackie spoke of performing in England sometime this summer. Its my guess there will be other performances in Europe as well, at least I am hoping so. Rather an exciting thought!
brgilbert2 believe me If that is so I will be first in line and I don't care how far I have to travel to see her
Oh for a moment I felt that I was in paradise. So amazing and such an angelic voice!
German müller that's right!
Tigreblanco066 Yes sir It's!!!
+German müller Never use "it's" to affirm something, or at the end of a sentence. It should always be "it is" :)
Thanks you bby!
German müller You're welcome!
I used share a house with 3 German students in England. They always asked me to correct them If they made a grammatical mistake. I guess I can't break the habit now. lol
After...many years....still love Jackie. So talented and beautiful..Beautiful voice. Beautiful all on it. She....still signing??? I do not know nothing about her..But....when I am listen songs in her performences. I am always crying..Love her..
that voice is an art, i am in tears...
I wish everyone who listen to this beautiful masterpiece and read this message a healthy and good life. Take care and stay safe.
So sweet. Thanks for the blessing.
In all the world there is only one jackie. I think we will witness great things to come.
No way this is common or natural...this must be Godly...Heavenly...angelic...personally I listen to this angel whenever I need help from my creator...Such a Devine Voice...God bless you Jackie!
True.. We cannot underestimate this :)
I like you idea of enlisting this great singer and her "Ave Maria" as an aid to prayer!
I love that version of the Ave Maria and Jackie sings it like one is listening directly from Heaven. WOW!!!!
Her voice is so delicate and light. Truly beautiful, like an angel.
This is why so many fans travel long distances and cross oceans to see and hear her. She has unique qualities and provides listeners with feelings they don't experience with other singers.
She is an angel
omg.. i'm crying...she's an angel
My dad took us to Longwood Gardens for several years, and when he died of Covid-19 in 2021... I was not able to comfort him in his last days, but hope he heard her singing....Sorry for your loss as well.
What loss?
My dad also took us to Longwood Gardens for several years, as he was the Director of Delaware State Parks...He also taught at the University of Delaware and Oglebay Park in Wheeling West Virginia...I ended up in the New Castle County Delaware Forestry Department, and we went to Longwood Gardens to see how they also took care of trees.
I'm not one who is easily moved to tears, but listening to her the flood gates open. the most beautiful sound I have ever heard from a human being. Sounds like angels singing.
I may be only 16 but I don't think I have ever heard anything as beautiful her voice in this song. I may not have cried from her performance but that was truly beautiful.
This teen is a gift for us all. God bless you Jackie !
No matter I close or open my eyes, an angel is singing in front of me
The Angels in Heaven are astounded when this Beautiful child, young lady sings. She brings tears to my eyes every time she sings, every time I hear her voice because her voice is simply superlative & divinely inspired. Thank you for sharing this.
sandra clory well divinely revealed...
No one in heaven can be astounded because there are in there the unknown best, best....
Even God is Astounded every day as well as utterly shocked when it comes to some of the evils as well as the intellect of some Humans on this Planet. Since you've never been there, how could a person know about what can & can't be done in that realm? Unless they've been Supernaturally Inspired. I know.
+sandra clory. It is in our different perceptions, mine is different from yours because we have different beliefs. I cannot force you to believe mine nor you to me because we are two different DNAs.
sandra clory oh yeah first time I've heard you sing good on you
A recent article from a reporter regarding Jackie Evancho's version of this song very accurately reflects the sentiments of all of her fans and admirers. To paraphrase part of what he wrote: "....Jackie Evancho has one of the most gorgeous voices in contemporary music, and her version of "Ave Maria" proves why." The entire article can be found at "Digital Journal". The reporter's words are very complimentary, especially in the closing paragraph where he refers to Jackie's 14 year old voice as an "eighth world wonder". Enjoy reading it, and good day to everyone.

OMG! Her voice at her age is incredible!
Me hace llorar de felicidad escuchar esta hermosa interpretación asia mi madre Santa María🙏😢❤te amo Madre mia😢
I`m Muslim and I don`t understand what she saying but I really goose-bumped and for a moment I just felt like I`m in a different place that I can find peace...ohhhh what an amzaing feel
"the good music knows no religion or nationality"
She is merely singing "Ave Maria" (hail Mary) over and over again :-)
She sings a song about Maryam the mother of Jesus.Ave Maria (hail Mary).
zana hama It's about the sound of her voice that gives the listener a unique blend of pleasure to the senses. Ahhhhhh. Music to my ears.
She's like a siren from greek mythology. Exept for the part where sirens eat whoever... you know what. She has an angelic voice sent from god, or in your case Allah.
I can not quit watching this. I agree that hearing this on the CD isn't as emotional as seeing her sing in this beautiful garden. She is truly gifted and a beautiful girl as well! I hope this concert comes out on DVD.
It is available now at PBS (for a generous donation of course) but look for it in stores aound June or July.
I got mine for a 7.00 monthly donation to PBS (plus shipping) They give it to you as a gift for the donation. got it in about a week. lakeshorepublicmedia.org/
the beauty and purity of Jackie's voice is unique and incomparable, divine interpretation and your physical beauty,stunning!,... a being almost unreal.
+luis tobar aibar hernandez Two Thumbs Up.
Music transcends every language! I truly feel nothing else can do that!
This may be Jackies most perfect and most angelic performance. It transcends.
One million thanks jackie!! A prayer yours Jackie, with that wonderful voice must be worth for God as a million of our prayers,thank you again ...dear jackie! godbles
Jackie se merece eso y mucho más!
Jackie deserves that and much more!

素敵…こんなふうに歌上手くなりたい!
WOW! She's beautiful and she can sing like a Angel that came down from heaven! I swear I watched this three times, and each time I got more chills. I almost started to cry! This was absolutely breathtaking.. I remember when she was just ten and tried out for A.G.T. this girl is just amazing..
エヴァンコちゃんファン歴は浅いですが、幼少期の頃の歌と比べるととても上手になっていて年下ですが、おばさん嬉しいわ!ごく普通のご家庭で真似してやってみて、才能を開花させたのはとてもすごくて、尊敬します!
She is a gift which come from the Heaven. Not only from this song, but is from whole her life. I wish she will continually to sing the holy songs.
I have heard this song five times in a row. Every time she makes me spiritual.
Jackie is a miracle of the gods !; her voice, a true gift to us mortals
She’s so gorgeous it’s unbelievable!!! …& her voice too!!!
Loved jackie from the very first time I heard her. I can't imagine how the songs of heaven would be.
It's an amazing version of Ave Maria - one of it's kind and so beautiful my eyes fills with tears every time I listen to it.
Infinite loop the same thing happens to me
This song fits her, I think.
It comes not from her vocal but from her inner heart.
It's as if her soul is resonating. Harmonics sublime !!!
I can only agree. I love listening to this song.
I’ve listened to you sing this song for awhile now. You are a beautiful singer and God gave you a beautiful voice. This song was my mother in law’s favorite song. I only knew this part about her when she was alive but I learned so much about her after she passed away so in her memory I listen only to you singing this song to remember her. Thank you so much, God Bless 🙏❤️🎤👩😀
MY Mother's too...
Jackies beautiful voice helped my headache. Such a calm peaceful voice.
Dear Jackie, You, are a princess, a queen of music !, You were born to sing and give relief to the most hapless heart and Also at the same time, to sing the most powerful men in the world And infuse love into their hearts, presidents and kings will remember your name; God has blessed you with that beautiful gift , girl precious
Remarkably, this is actually occurring, regardless of anyone's opinion of her singing, she has been doing this before the most powerful men on earth. Stunning...and people doubt there is a God. She is breathtaking.
effectively friend, she is proof that there is a "God"
I am not certain Jackie is proof God exists, I am not even sure that can be proven at all, for or against, its a matter of individual faith (although Jackie herself has said she considers her voice a gift from God). What I am certain of is Jackie is proof there is still profound beauty and goodness in our troubled world.
One of Jackie's most angelic performances. I love this so much. Her voice is transcendent, and she is one of the most beautiful women on earth.
I can lasten to her for ever and ever.Something in her voice that I do not have enough.!!!Thank you God for this talent.
Surreptitiously found a pain reliever .... her voice~
WOW! I'm a purist of Classic Rock, but YOU, young lady, are amazing!
She has lots of fans from all over the music spectrum. I found her in 2014 and went to check her out in concert. Videos and CD's don't do justice to how good she is live.
I was in a crummy dive in downtown Santa Monica in mid-1967. A total unknown named Linda Ronstadt started singing, and I knew instantaneously what was going to happen with her. The next time I felt that same way, I was listening to tiny 10-year old Jackie Evancho in an old church in downtown Houston, performing her very first actual concert.
By golly! What a beauty!
Hope this special will become a DVD.
Since sept 23rd I lost the count of how many times I've listened Awakenin.
Superb CD.
vadinhopsc I hear it's a DVD already, and some PBS stations are to offer it as a reward for a $ Pledge :) Hope it's available as HD - maybe blue ray?
It will be purchased as soon as it will be available... thanks for the info.
Sept 2024.Such an exceptional algelic angelic voice. The music flew from the sky to my mind and body .Heart many versions but Jacky version is the best of the best.
She overflows ...of class, elegance and spirituality
I pray that Hollywood doesn’t ruin her. Please stay far away Jackie. Let no one corrupt you.one like yourself does not come along very often.
Jackie 'a voice is a true gift from God. Her voice seeks to bless all of us and her genuine love of the music and her true understanding of each songs message is a blessing to each of us. I am a student of voice, many years ago. Listening to Jackie, has given me all the courage I need to recognize my own voice again . I find it singing with hers. Perhaps the music will not die inside me. Thank you God for showing us your love through Jackie Evancho. AMEN
MEREDITH
meredith davis Amen!
+meredith davis all voices are from their parents so all voices are gifts not only ones that can sing
+ Skyhawk Ron Idiot.
a true gift ? not just a gift ? all is from her parents & Jackie is not a Saint to bless you , she is trying to sell albums
An atheist rotten attitude; don't let it infect you; believe in God --
I discovered Jackie Evancho by accident in 2011 and since then I have enjoyed her music and her incredible journey. At the beginning, I investigated until I was convinced that she was doing what she really wanted, that she was loved and protected by her family without serving the interests of others, without mistreated her childhood. Then I began to buy her music to support her, delighted by her singing and inspired by her example. I never had an interest in child artists or prodigies and this time it was not different. What interested me was her singing, the beauty, the expressiveness, the naturalness, the magnificence, the depth and the dignity in the emotion that she manages to transmit. In all these years, I have read all kinds of comments and sometimes I have write a few ones. I have never commented outside the theme of music, but this time I will make an exception and I will be way off topic. I warn the reader to go ahead at their own discretion and I apologize for how extensive it will be (and for my english).
In my own personal vision, JE has always been true to her path, the crossover. In music, crossover refers to crossing the boundaries that separate genres, mixing elements of both to unite and integrate them in harmony and beauty. Crossover comes from crossing over, which means to cross a limit that separates or divides two different contexts. From the first moment, JE has done a crossover that goes far beyond the musical genres. She did a crossover in age when she began to interpret extremely adult themes. This allowed her to do a crossover of generations, reaching the hearts of people much older than her. She did a crossover of cultures, singing in languages that were unknown to her. But as it grows, emerge borders more complex and more difficult to overcome. In spite of that, she faced them with an extraordinary courage and heart. She did a social crossover when passed over the line that was trying to divide the heart of her own family. Without taking into account the consequences, she expressed her love, understanding and support for her sister. In time, the musical genre that had allowed her to reach so many was separating her from her youth and from her own generation. So she started a crossover towards pop music. And when a much more complex line divided the heart of her country, she did a crossover in politics showing respect for her homeland’s traditions.
JE’s journey is a reflection of her intention not to put herself above others, to connect with people, to promote union and harmony, to show respect and compassion for all. But this road is not easy nor safe, because in each border that someone crosses there are always some people who feel offended. Some got upset because she sang adult songs without being old enough or because she wanted to sing classical music without submitting to classical technique. Others were upset because she crossed generations and their audiences were elder or simply because she included pop in her repertoire. Of course, many more were upset when she crossed social and political lines. It is curious that people who defend these borders react in a similar way when they see someone crossing them, they get angry, offend, threaten and announce apocalyptic calamities: "She will lose her voice", "in five years nobody will remember her", "she will fall in vices and drugs”, "her fans will abandon her", "God is no longer with her" and things like that. None of these prophecies has been fulfilled, but that does not mean that her challenges are less difficult. In the same way, if she cannot reach mainstream stardom, her achievements will not be less extraordinary. The path that JE has chosen is much more important than if she manages to be more or less popular. It is the path of integrity and self-respect above fame and popularity. The longest and most difficult road, but where every step is worthwhile.
It has been almost 10 years since she went to see that movie that defined her life and impacted for the good to so many people who have found in her singing a source of rejoicing and inspiration. Since she began to share those videos singing in her room until today, the spiral of life has taken a big turn. She went through the most complex moments, managed to preserve her identity, her freedom and her integrity. Without sacrificing her childhood, without renouncing to her principles, she is on the verge of a new era that she will face armed with talent, resources and experience. A monumental achievement under any measure. An achievement that began with her first crossover and continues until today. But her first crossover was none of the ones I mentioned. Respecting the beliefs of each one, for me her first crossover is repeated every time the music begins and in a purely intuitive way, she crosses the border that separates her from her own soul. In doing so, she becomes a ageless being, because through intuition flows the knowledge and understanding achieved through the experiences of countless previous lives, a knowledge that we all of us carry within and that we can reach just like her. JE perfectly describes the contact with her own soul when she tells David Foster in "Dream with Me in Concert": "when I sing, something overpowers me and makes me feel very comfortable and very happy".
Through this intuitive connection, JE not only manages to express emotions that are far beyond her years, but also, without knowing or pretending it, provides her singing with a quality that helps the listener to do the same, to establish a connection with his own soul. The emotion, peace and love that flood those who manage to establish this deep connection with their own being, is what causes many people to describe similar experiences. They feel moved to tears, they can spend hours or days listening to her sing. They are overwhelmed by peace, understanding, a sense of purpose, they recover their ingenuity and hope, they feel young again, they are filled with energy and they experience a healing that relieves their sorrows. This is not something for idolize Jackie, nor to treasure her or try to control her destiny. It is something very simple, something that is learned and deserved, something that each person could achieve through meditation or a serious search for the part of God that lives in each one. This quality of JE's singing is not a gift from God, nor is she an angel with wings or without them. Pretending that, serves only to separate and isolate her. It is going against what JE has tried to do all these years, connect with people through her singing. Jackie Evancho is a human being like all of us, but one that has learned and deserved the intuitive knowledge we call talent. She is using this impressive knowledge in her singing and her journey giving to us a wonderful opportunity to enjoy music and discover what we can achieve if we begin to cross those artificial boundaries that separate us from others and from our true self.
I couldn't read any further than "Then I began to buy her music to support her"
You're so far out with your analysis.
When anyone buys Jackie's music, the are supporting the "family business"
That means ALL of them, including brother "Juliet's" sex change procedures, and her stay-at-home mom and dad.
a lot of words to not say anything really new and important
18458c - If you read no further than that, how can you comment on his analysis?
Chris Hoover Because I'd read enough to know that 'soundlight' is deluded already.
You should start a fan club.
Thank you God for Jackie Evancho
Jackie you have to always remember, that your talent is not human ... it's divine!
I love her voice since the time she was with AGT. She is a gift from god for her voice.
Music, it is a language that transcends all barriers. With music, any unspeakable thoughts, emotions, may come to light and be heard by all who bother to listen. Angelical.
I dedicate this to my Mom and Dad who are both with the angels now.
I kneel down and bow my head...This song about Mother Mary is taking me to different world... Thanks Jackie..!!
She looks and sounds like an angel. Can't wait to see her perform at Trump's inauguration. She is the perfect choice!
She's wonderful.
EndlessFunctionality I hope can hear her in concert instead of out in the cold winter air in DC where the whole world was watching her. Most impressive human being.
EndlessFunctionality fuck trump
EndlessFunctionality-welp, guess you didn’t 😂
there is no point of comparison !, the voice and the interpretation of Jackie are infinitely superior,this song belongs to Jackie, for ever and ever, and amen!
Sorry but amira willihagen beats her every day in the week...
@@hakanselvander9071 You mean Amira Willighagen? She is a wonderful singer, and a very thoughtful and kindhearted young lady. Amira has made it clear that she dislikes and is embarrassed by "so called fans" posting garbage on her friend Jackie's videos. If you were not a complete ass, you would be 'sorry' for your childish behavior.
@@hakanselvander9071 Most all Amira fans don't know what good opera singing should sound like. Amira is a good journeyman beginner with a great top range, and as such is very advanced by that measure but that's about it.
She is absolutely stunning. A voice of an angel and seamless control. I could listen to her all day. Yet, all her video views added up don't come close to what they call pop music today. This young woman is truly gifted and it makes no sense why she isn't in the multimillions when it comes to popularity. Such a sad and shallow world we live in. God bless you Jackie.
+John Greeneyes Perhaps Jackie's relative obscurity is a blessing in disguise (for now). Flying under the radar helps Jackie preserve a fairly "normal" lifestyle for a teenage girl, allowing her to enjoy family, friends and school when she can. Interviewers ask Jackie how her life has changed, and all she can come up with is, "I travel more." But when she is home, everyone treats her like a "normal girl". That may change in the near future, but hopefully she'll be ready when it does.
Never believed in angels..."Great Soul"..Great Voice"...life is always happy and better when you hear the voice of an "Angel"..Thanks Jackie..Now I believe in Angels
