Pint-Sized Opera Singer, Jackie Evancho, Wows America's Got Talent Crowd (VIDEO)
The most voted-for at-home participant in the America's Got Talent YouTube competition, Jackie Evancho took the AGT stage in Hollywood tonight, along with 11 other top YouTube acts, to show the AGT judges what she could do. Far and away, the little girl with the huge voice stole the show.
Though Las Vegas illusionist Dan Sperry wowed the crowd with his dental floss and lifesaver trick (and made America's Got Talent judge Howie Mandel jump clear out of his chair, and damn near out of his skin), tonight, the stage truly belonged to Jackie Evancho. This teeny, tiny ten year-old's opera performance on America's Got Talent (August 10) tonight may have been one of the best performances of the entire season.
Besides the magic of Dan Sperry and the delightful, angelic voice of Jackie Evancho, the America's Got Talent (August 10) YouTube finalists were a bit of a disappointment. Even easy-going America's Got Talent judge Sharon Osbourne hit the buzzer at one point during tonight's live show, though she oddly did so during one of the evening's better performances. Sharon said she gave the 16 year-old star pianist the buzzer because she felt his act was "boring", which it sort of was, though the young man's overall talent was obvious.
Be that as it may, little Jackie Evancho from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, won nothing but praise from the audience and judges, including a standing ovation from Piers, Sharon and Howie.
