Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover vocalist who rose to prominence at a young age. She has released an EP, eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top ten debuts since 2009. Evancho's most recent album, 'The Debut,' earned her eighth straight No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Albums list. Evancho sang the U.S. national anthem during Donald Trump's presidential inauguration in 2017 and became the youngest artist ever to perform a concert series at Café Carlyle.
Voices that have not been stretched beyond their capacities or darkened to give the impression of a much older sound. She is not, and should not be, grouped with Kirsten Flagstad or Joan Sutherland. Evancho's voice, if properly taught (at the appropriate age to begin such training), may have revealed a good voice capable of an operatic career when she was in her early twenties, but nothing good will come of it at her age. She'll end up like Charlotte Church, who nearly destroyed her voice but is now doing pop music. Remove this child from the list! She has no place among the actual greats of opera!
