Video 2013-1-29 Ladies and Gentelmen JACKIE EVANCHO performs “The Prayer“

When JACKIE EVANCHO first sang for the judges on NBC’s variety show “America’s Got Talent,“ there were viewers who were so shocked by her beautiful singing they were thoroughly convinced she had to be lip-synching. How else could you explain how such a perfect soprano voice could come from a child? During her next appearance in the competition, the judges asked their 10-year-old contestant to improvise a tune. She performed flawlessly, came in second place and her soon-to-be legendary career was launched.
