Ten-year-old Jackie Evancho sang her way to instant stardom last night. (read and listen: (Here) I was passing a television and saw this performance. I kept walking, then stopped and came back. Holy Moley!
The idea of teaching a child how to sing opera- using the Pipes, literally, to sing with a big voice, is probably not that common. Or wasn't.
I think children can learn to do most things very well; we do not give them enough credit. Some folks do not treat their children as being as smart as a dog, so the kids act poorly.
It was this child's normal
sweet face and
very nice, modest, interaction which charmed me the most.
God Bless her.
Here it is: Freakishly Beautiful Voice!
