Man, I'm doing good to post even a few comments on the forum in the last week. I've finally run into something that is even more addictive than FR. Her name is Jackie Evancho.

Wow! I wasn’t familiar with the girl. When she started singing and that voice came out of her -— I practically spit out my coffee. What a voice! It’s hard to believe she only placed 2nd in AGT.
Sarah Brightman looked like a giantess next to her.
Thanks for the link!
Yours is a typical reaction to hearing Jackie for the first time. When I first saw her, I forgot everything I was doing, and hit the replay button a dozen times before I could even tell my wife what I'd witnessed.
I think it's actually better that she didn't "win" AGT (in all truth, she really did). She was immediately picked up by Columbia/Sony records for a $5.5 million dollar contract, and they produced her first four song CD just in time for last Christmas. It went platinum. She now holds the record for the youngest person to ever have a platinum album.
Her first full-length CD (which she calls an "LP") will come out this spring.
Enjoy!
