Best Jackie Evancho Songs
Jackie Evancho. A singer who was known since her outstanding appearance in "America's Got Talent". Also known because of the outstanding number of votes she receives on many lists around The Top Tens! I'm doing this list to her in gratitude. She's responsible of my achievement of 100 votes on a list! And she has an angelic voice. Really. Perhaps the best female voice I've ever heard.
A storybook tale like David and Goliath. A little girl and the music world. The music world is gigantic with the most advanced technology and sound engineers, yet this little girl cast her voice upon the giant not to kill it but to get its attention. Here I am, down here!
I love hearing her version of this song. She nails the exact feeling the song deserves and really makes you feel the love.
Jackie's rendition is amazing. I love listening to it as often as I can. Try it if you haven't yet.
Quite frankly, it's very difficult to rank any of her songs as I simply love them all equally. However, I've heard other professionals sing this particular song, and not one of these individuals is in Jackie's league... not even close. But that's also true of any song. Jackie is my musical hero, and now I can't imagine my life without her amazingly beautiful voice.
Such a beautiful vision of a better world! And Jackie's angelic voice is perfect for it. Each time the song comes to the words "free like the clouds that float above," Jackie's voice rises to the unearthly beauty of her high notes, always taking my breath away completely!
What a song! What a voice! What a gal!
This new release once again proves, without a doubt, that Jackie Evancho is the voice of the 21st century.
From the Game of Thrones. Jackie's version is so brooding and haunting!
During Jackie's Music of the Movies concert DVD, she tells a charming story about how she chose this song because the Louis Armstrong version was her dad's favorite when he was a kid, and then he used to sing it to her when she was a baby. In live concerts, she always dedicates this song to her dad.
I love the contrast between the Louis Armstrong version and Jackie's version. Mr. Armstrong gives a nostalgic view of an older person looking back on his life, while Jackie offers a youthful perspective looking forward. Both are beautiful.
Jackie's voice normally doesn't lend itself to a let's kill this approach to singing (think Whitney, Barbra, or Mariah), which is a good thing. But this is a powerful song, not unlike Nessun Dorma, that allows Jackie to stretch her chops a little. The results speak for themselves.
This was the very first number at her very first professional concert in Houston, in February 2011. She brought the house down with it and has not stopped since!
Her blonde hair, blue eyes, and her music are wonderful. Just like me, I have blonde hair and blue eyes and, like her, enjoy outstanding music.
Jackie performs three different songs, all named "Ave Maria," but each is quite different and amazing in its own way.
Either version, just stunning.
Once you hear Jackie sing this, you will never forget it.
A new song she started performing on her tour that began in October 2016.
From her upcoming album Awakening.
Not age-inappropriate! With the remarkable maturity of her angelic voice, Jackie is well able to convey the poignancy of a young life lost as well as the dangers of drug addiction, hence the strong emotional response of many listeners. This song has earned and saved more than one drug-endangered musician.
In a subtle touch, Jackie begins each chorus with the words "In the arms of an angel," but sings "In the arms of the angel" towards the end. May God continue to watch over Jackie as she continues her amazing career. P.S. The arrangement itself, with the key change and Jackie's extended note on "fly away," is terrific!
This song was released on November 16, 2010, and it is best suited for Christmas but still good at any time of the year. It's the best song created by Jackie Evancho.
Also, check out the duet Jackie did with Vittorio Grigolo of this song. It is available on Grigolo's CD, along with the "Special Edition" of Jackie's Awakening.
Excellent singing brings the feeling of Christmas so beautifully. God bless you.
An original song, written by Jackie herself, and first performed in November 2016 with a rock quartet backup band at the famous Joe's Pub in NYC.
Songwriting is just another facet of her talents. Hopefully, she will do a lot more of it.
Her songwriting skill is improving every year.
Leigh Harline and Ned Washington wrote this song way back in 1940 for the movie Pinocchio. Amazingly, it was sung by a cartoon bug named Jiminy Cricket, voiced by Cliff Edwards, and it was the first Disney song to win an Oscar.
I had heard this song before, but it never registered until I heard it through the interpretive skills of a singer focused on the story and not on showing off. After listening to, and being greatly impressed with, Pavarotti's execution, I still feel this song now belongs to Jackie.
Jackie didn't sing this for more than three years, then started again. The new versions are truly outstanding - the best ever by a female.
Her recording of this at age ten is completely unbelievable. It sends shivers up my spine like no performer of this piece ever has - and I include Pavarotti.
I love listening to Jackie Evancho singing this song, and I also like the YouTube video that goes with it. She must have had fun doing it.
She can do it all. In my honest opinion, she just does everything naturally!
Powerful, original... I love this new direction for Jackie Evancho!
I didn't cry at my mother's funeral, but I cry when I hear Jackie sing this song.
All I can say is wow! Such a pure and beautiful voice.
Jackie just keeps getting better and better. People are now finally appreciating the greatest soprano ever. Her genre is infinite.
Jackie began including this great song from the 1997 animated film Anastasia in her concerts starting in February 2015.
This is actually not a John Lennon cover but rather a special version of Lara Fabian's "Broken Vow," for which Lara wrote the re-purposed French lyrics for Jackie.
This is a cover of John Lennon's masterpiece, as she performed it for the United Nations children's rights conference on November 20, 2014.
Listening to Jackie sing is like going to heaven without dying first.
I heard her perform this song live in concert. It is her best song since Lovers, and certainly her best pop song. For some reason, it wasn't included on her new Two Hearts album. They said some songs weren't cleared for the album. Possibly, it was due to the political fallout when Jackie agreed to sing at Trump's inauguration. Maybe Jackie only co-wrote this one, and someone else involved wouldn't release their rights to punish her. What a terrible tragedy. She is phenomenal singing this.
When this legendary song was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame as one of history's "Towering Songs," the organization chose Jackie to sing it at the presentation ceremony.
Jackie's incredible voice makes this song sweet, poignant, and emotionally powerful, all at the same time.
Jackie's version was used to officially send this number into the Hall of Fame.
The most fantastic, perfect example of perfection: Jackie Evancho.
She has attained yet another level with this one.
Another great "let's make the world better" song, this one was written by her uncle, Matt Evancho. Jackie's sincere little prayer in the middle brings tears every time!
I love all her songs, but this one reached my soul down deep.
This song was performed on the lawn of the United States Capitol at the "National Memorial Day Concert."
Her 2019 rendition from the album The Debut is spectacular.
I love that song, and even if I prefer the original, that cover is totally amazing. Jackie's voice is as great as Amy Lee's voice (the singer of the original). I wish they could collaborate one day because they both have one of the greatest voices ever.
I like the original as well because it is what I am used to. It's really not a fair comparison because the original has so many vocal effects and pitch corrections. Jackie is one of the few (the only?) who does not record with autotune pitch correction.
This is a wonderful duet with Cheyenne Jackson on her PBS special Awakening - In Concert and on YouTube.
Yet again, the one by which all others will now be judged!
