Charice Pempengco
Jake Zyrus, born Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, is a Filipino singer who gained international attention through YouTube. He was previously known by the mononym Charice before coming out as a transgender man. Zyrus has appeared on international television programs and released several albums.
Charice is totally amazing, oozing with talent and charisma even at a very young age. She wowed people who really know about music. She is a very humble girl and a good daughter and sister - truly an inspiration to many. Keep up the good job, Ming, and continue to amaze people around the world with your fantastic voice. You are so blessed with fans like the Divanatics who love, care for, and support you all the way. More power to our Princess!
The greatest child star I have ever met. She is stunningly and undeniably beautiful, and the greatest among all these other people listed below. We look forward to seeing Charice as the newest pop sensation, following in the footsteps of Britney Spears.

Jackie Evancho
Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. Evancho's latest album, The Debut, was her eighth consecutive... read more
Jackie not only has perfect pitch. She is able to evoke such emotions in listeners that she often brings her audience to tears. She can sing in many different languages with such perfection that native speakers of those languages are amazed at her diction.
She has a highly appealing personality, largely due to her humble nature. She seems equally at home with everyday fans and with the President of the United States (singing at the National Christmas Tree lighting last year), as well as with talk show hosts in the United States, England, Canada, and Japan. She has appeared both nationally and internationally and is now set to star in a major motion picture.
She is a great lover of animals and serves as the national spokesperson for the SPCA. I think it's safe to say she embodies all we hope for in our young people. She is the whole package.

Bianca Ryan
Bianca Ryan is the best singer I have ever heard in my life! I went to one of her concerts, and she is an amazing singer and performer. I even got the honor of meeting her backstage! She was such a nice, wholesome girl - only 13 years old too!
She really inspired me to do so much. She told me to always follow my dreams and work hard for them because anything is possible. She encouraged me to sing and dance too! That's why I look up to her. She is such a great role model and has changed my life. I voted for her, and I think you should too! She should've been number one from the beginning! Go, Bianca Ryan!
Bianca Ryan is the most incredible child singer I have ever heard. The emotion she imparts to the listener is very, very powerful. She knows how to sing with just the right level of intensity, without going "over the top."
And she is an exceptionally generous, kind, compassionate, and sweet young lady. She is an excellent role model for her generation. No self-centered attitude from her. She is humble.

Miley Cyrus
Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known professionally as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is popularly described as a lyric mezzo soprano, with a vocal range... read more
She has a great voice and great songs. She is amazing, and she is beautiful. With songs like 7 Things, Can't Be Tamed, and Who Owns My Heart, she has proven that she is a pop star. One day, she will earn a big music award, like a Grammy or an MTV award, because she is so talented.
Even though she's technically not a "child" anymore, she has a strong, beautiful voice. I think it's great that she's doing amazing in her career.
Miley Cyrus is a great singer and actor. My favorite acting scene of hers was when she played the role of Hannah Montana.

Connie Talbot
Connie Talbot, born on November 20, 2000, is an English singer who gained fame as a finalist on the first season of Britain's Got Talent. She released her debut album, Over the Rainbow, in 2007. Talbot continues to perform as an independent music artist and regularly shares her work on YouTube.
I have never heard such professional-sounding phrasing from a singer as young as Connie, who started when she was only six! Go on YouTube and listen to her renditions of Wonderful World, Smile, and I Will Always Love You - all from her first album at age six. Her videos have now had over 500 million views!
I love Connie. She should be number one. She has such an amazing voice that makes you wish you were her. She has her whole future ahead of her, and I bet she's going to become a singer.
Keep up the good work, Connie, and don't give up. Don't listen to all those haters - they're just jealous. Please make more videos!

Nita Blanc
Nita's rendition of Birdy's "Skinny Love," originally by Bon Iver, demonstrates explosive power and a flexible vocal range from a beautiful young singer who is not even close to reaching her true potential. Her recordings are done in a simple environment without the enhancements many artists have access to.
The world is waiting for a professional production with enhanced effects. Hopefully, she will have the opportunity to show her full range, complete with vocal undulations, note extensions, and tremendous "locks" at the end of her songs!
Her strong voice merits a #4 or #5 ranking in this category. Her singing of a couple of difficult songs and "nailing" them arguably better than the original artists would qualify her for an even higher ranking.
But for now, just being recognized in the top ten without financial-promotional backing, and, as was Jackie Evancho, not selected as the best in a major competition, the rest is up to Nita's fans, supporters, and herself!

Keke is the bomb diggity! She is so cool. She is great at singing and acting, and I love her hair. She is so pretty and is the top singer.
Love her, her songs, and everything about her. She definitely is a role model.

Cleopatra Stratan
Cleopatra holds the world record for the youngest singer to perform in a relatively long concert. She was three at the time. She is from Moldova, a small country in Europe with no sea boundaries.
She also holds other world records and has been featured on MTV.
One image surely will emerge as you see and hear Cleopatra sing "Ghita": a cute, cuddly little kitten!

Kayla Giampaolo
In my opinion, there is nobody on this list quite like Kayla Giampaolo. Her voice is like hearing the whispers of angels. If I had to make a comparison, it would be close to Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey. But to be quite honest, Kayla surpasses those voices.
Her passion, dedication, commitment, and love for the art transcend her music. Hearing her sing is an experience I will never forget, and one I hope everyone may have at some point in their life. She is a 15 out of 10.
-
Rhema Marvanne
Rhema is a gospel singer. She's amazing, and when she sings, she feels her mother in her soul. Rhema lost her mother when she was six, and she is thankful for everything. She's a great singer.
Rhema Marvanne sings for God and to feel a connection to her mother's spirit. I love her voice. Her singing helps me through physically painful times.
Rhema sings with emotion and devotion. Although her music themes may not be to everyone's taste, the quality of her output is quite elevated.

-
Hollie Steel
Hollie Steel has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. When I first heard her on YouTube, I felt like I was listening to an angel sing, and I was instantly in tears like never before.
I met her in person, and she sang for us with her natural voice - no sound enhancers, not even a microphone. She only used a little boombox with music, and she brought the house down. We were all in tears.
Hollie is purely fantastic in her rendition of the classics. She is definitely a young classical singer whose star will only rise.
-
Jotta A
Jotta A has a very broad range for such a young age and has four-octave accessibility with complete control. He's a very emotional and inspirational singer who sings completely from the heart. He reminds me of a young Michael Jackson.
If you enjoy Michael Jackson's songs from when he was very young, Jotta A will bring back a lot of memories! He has tremendous note extensions and vocal undulations. Listener reactions vary from astonishment to inspiration.
Great stage presence. Impressive vocal timbre. He has a nice undulation and extension of notes, and incredible improvisation and timing for his age.
Jotta already has superstar status quality!

Tiffany Lynn Alvord is an American singer and songwriter. She gained fame as one of the first music artists to build a fanbase through YouTube, where she began posting cover songs in 2008. Alvord has since released several original albums and performed internationally.
"Baby, I Love You" is a nice, soft vocal production with professional piano accompaniment and gentle percussion. Her timing is good.
She has a strong following on her YouTube channel and has songs available on iTunes.
-
Marina Delmas
Good, raspy voice. Her performance on France Talent Show was excellent.
Eye contact with the audience could be better and most likely has improved by now. She has the potential to make it big.

Peruvian folklore singer with a good vocal range at the high end for her age. Regional intonation is noticeable, and she is capable of hitting relatively high notes.

Birdy has the most incredibly unique voice I have heard in a long time. She will definitely go far.
