If you prefer your singing sensations dowdy, oldish, and initially severely mocked by several hundred people, don’t watch this video of 10 year old Jackie Evancho performing Puccini’s “O Mio Babbino Caro” on last night’s episode of America’s Got Talent. (Jump to 1:45 for the singing).
Chillax, Piers Morgan. It makes me uncomfortable when you give praise. Essentially all of these judges make me super uncomfortable, Nick Cannon as well, but a gushing Piers Morgan is just against nature.
Whelp, great job, Jackie. In addition to having a weirdly impressively adult voice, you really hit all of the Cute Little Girl check points:
Blonde, perfectly curled pony tail
A garden with ducks (my personal favorite detail)
She asserts that “the best things come in small packages.” I’ll allow this annoying cliche because of the aforementioned duck detail.
Adorable tears of happiness after her performance, followed by an audience “awwww”
LOVES Disney World, and presumably Harry Potter.
Watch out, Charlotte Church 15 years ago!!
