The Top Ten
1 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 release to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Albums chart. In 2017, Evancho performed the U.S. national anthem at the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump and became the youngest person ever to perform a concert series at Café Carlyle.

Jackie Evancho IS the greatest role model of all. She teaches and inspires people to love, and not to hate, and most importantly, to ignore haters. People say horrid nasty stuff about Jackie and her family, and she and her family ignores it. Jackie acts more mature than adults today whom act like children. People hate on Jackie for the wrong reasons. Jackie stays true to herself, and she is the BEST example for children.

Yes, Jackie Evancho is a great role model for everyone. Its pretty sad that someone who is close to illiterate decides to leave a rambling screed that appears to say nobody should ever sing the national anthem of any nation ever again [can't really be sure, because its mostly unintelligible]. Its also interesting that Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Obama will all be attending the Inaugural too, honoring the peaceful transition of power, and lending historic significance to the event.

Jackie is an amazing teenager who deftly balances work, play and school to realize her dreams while keeping her feet on the ground. Full of life, fun, polite, positive, energetic and thoughtful, Jackie embodies a lot of the qualities that we appreciate in our role models.

What a great role model for kids her age even adults. True to herself, family, country and friends. Amazing work ethic, spokes women for the Human Society. Spokes women for Transgender Americans. Follows her dreams and yet stays grounded.

Compared to other singers, I have to agree. Taylor Swift at least cares about the effect her music has on her young fans.
