Jackie Evancho on 'America's Got Talent': 10-year-old singer stuns audience with booming voice
By Anthony Benigno Daily News Writer Wednesday, August 11th 2010, 9:57 AM
Jackie Evancho, 10, stole the show on 'America's Got Talent' Tuesday night with her rendition of Puccini's 'O Mio Babbino Caro.'
Young Jackie Evancho's performance on "America's Got Talent" Tuesday night brought down the house, reverberated through TV land and made her the most-searched person on Google early Wednesday morning.
With all the attention the budding performer has received in the past 24 hours, there's really only one question to ask: Who is Jackie Evancho?
The singer, 10, does not have the platinum pelt of Justin Bieber or the Mouse-House following of the Jonas Brothers, but thanks to her flooring performance on "America’s Got Talent," the Pittsburgh native is already being called the next Susan Boyle, according to USA Today.
Evancho's appearance on "Talent" was part of a viral-themed wrinkle for the competition show; all the performers who appeared Tuesday night submitted their auditions via YouTube. Judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel voted on 10 of the acts, and according to host Nick Cannon, Evancho was voted through as the 11th contestant by viewers at home.
Before Evancho took the stage, a taped intro clip ran down the finer points of the young girl's life at home. "I have two brothers and one sister, a big garden and we have ducks in it. It's so much fun!" beamed Evancho, who started singing after seeing "Phantom of the Opera." According to Babble.com, she has already released a self-produced album called "Prelude to a Dream."

Once in a while we come upon a child prodigy like this one and we're all amazed at what they can do. I remember as a child knowing a young boy with Downes Syndrome who was a natural exceptional pianist. Do you know anyone like this? Leave a comment
