Top Ten Things Which Should Happen to Jackie Evancho

Jackie deserves to win a Grammy if the music industry can see beyond it collective nose and acknowledge greatness.

Gotta happen, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Agree,
She has already earn't this recognition by any reasonable measure.

I love listening to her sing, she is so good.

She will, and she's got plenty of time to gain it

She's famous on the Top Tens for sure. A lot of people still have never heard of her, though.

Robert Redford chose her for his movie "The Company You Keep" in part because of her personality.

She has always shown a very friendly demeanor during interviews.

Concert audiences are always taken in by her personality.

Friendly onstage and off.

Everyone loves a good story, so everyone loves a good storyteller. - BobG

This is her specialty, and the reason that so many can't stop listening to her. Most singers are really just singing about themselves and can't get out of the way of the song, but Jackie acts as a neutral story teller, gets lost in the song herself, and with her out of the way, we naturally follow.

This is probably what Jackie herself wants most. - BobG

It is not only her singing voice that stirs the human soul but also the accompanying music to go with it that makes all the difference.

I don't want it mixed in with songs like "Baby" or "Anoconda". Yes, I mean pop channels. We want REAL music channels. - FennikenFan9

Jackie deserves to be happy - all else follows

She deserves happiness, for all the joy she has brought to others.

She is amazing, I mean, she's phenomenon. I can't get people that say Justin Bieber is better than her. Why would you say something like that?

This is Jackie's Dream. - BobG

So far she's done French, Italian, Latin and Japanese, along with her native English. - BobG

For her PBS "Great Performances" T.V. concert special.

She has already broken Michael Jackson's record as the youngest artist in US chart history to have a #2 album and go Platinum.
In fact, she has had TWO albums that hit #2 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, and if you count the Classical Chart, she actually has had two #1's.
All told, she has had three top 10 CD's.

Billboard's Classical Chart covers artists from Luciano Pavarotti to The Piano Guys, not artists who are normally played on rock or pop radio stations.

Is up to 5 albums that have hit #1 on the Billboard Classical chart.

I didn't know Billboard had a classical chart.

With the songs on her upcoming album "Awakening", she has now done Classical Crossover, pop, ballads, symphonic metal, country, opera, folk, Goth, rock, Japanese traditional, Broadway show tunes, duets, blockbuster movie themes; what's left?

Maybe on her new album due in early 2016, she will show us even more surprises. - BobG

Not until she's done all the good things on this list, though. - BobG

In light of the Christina Grimmie tragedy earlier this year you should reconsider leaving this posted.

I know she sang the national anthem at Trump's inauguration after the rest of the free world turned him down. Apparently she sang for Obama too, so I won't hold that against her too much.

She has accomplished this twice!

Probably for playing Christine in "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway.

Has already played the daughter of multiple Oscar-winner Robert Redford in his movie "The Company You Keep", which also featured a couple of other winners in the cast, so she is learning from the best.

She just did this quite successfully with the song "La Vie En Rose" as a guest vocalist on Jumaane Smith's recent CD.

Just for fun, she recorded the catchy pop song "Go Time" for the Justice brand of girl's clothes.

She has sung Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" live and also did an unplugged version with Nick Marzock on guitar, in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel in Pittsburgh. - BobG

She'll probably try this some day...right now she's having too much fun! - BobG

Having the blues isn't fun. Singing the blues is very fun!

In light of the Christina Grimmie tragedy this year you should reconsider leaving this posted.

Another hater on here I see.

Accomplished!
As of November 2015, she has sung onstage with Bocelli 3 times, including twice in Italy.

Done it. Twice in fact.

Yes, some classic Prog Rock would work perfectly with her voice. The extended notes in The Moody Blues' hit "Tuesday Afternoon" would be among many perfect choices for her voice.
