America's got talent

Last night I watched AGT and there were some pretty decent acts on the show. However I was BLOWN AWAY by Jackie Evancho with that unbelieveably mature operatic singing voice this young girl possesses. She's only 10, but sings way beyond her years. BTW, she lives in Pittsburgh, Pa.

She's going to be at the Ravinia Festival outside Chicago in August. I just can't reconcile her voice with her appearance. Apparently she has only been singing for 3 or 4 years and hasn't yet had a lot of vocal training. Where does a kid like that go after being called "the next Susan Boyle"? Is she going to be a flash in the pan, or is she going to have a career in opera or musical theatre? I wonder.

I love the judges on "AGT"! Sharon Osbourne is so encouraging, Howie Mandel doesn't hold back if he really likes an act. Piers Morgan is so serious sometimes but I think he is really supportive of the acts he likes.

My mom and dad were at that concert with friends from church and they said she's really something. I saw a little of her PBS special with David Foster-- I still can't reconcile her appearance with her voice. But I hope there is a bright future in store for her.
