The Next Susan Boyle?

10-year-old Jackie Evancho's amazing performance on "America's Got Talent" has drawn comparisons to Britain's Susan Boyle. However, some critics are suggesting that her performance is a result of lip-syncing. An NBC spokesperson has denied the allegation.

That is not lip-syncing and she is damn good. God Bless, America!

Capt_Knuckles   August 11th, 2010 - 4:11 pm

Amazing gift what an angel, remember her name.

Whats_Up   August 11th, 2010 - 4:15 pm

Young Jackie is beyond a "child prodigy" …and they don't allow contestants to lip-sync. The critics are just that …"critics" …failed jealous singers. I think Jackie will be better than Susan Boyle.

DavidC99   August 11th, 2010 - 4:17 pm

Her appearance doesn't quite seem to match her singing voice, as even some on the show indicated, which could very well be the reason for the feeling of some of, "Wait a minute — is this for real?"

Assuming all things were done legitimately, that was incredibly impressive.

badassbone   August 11th, 2010 - 4:19 pm

This is FRAUD! with a capital F.

TalkingDust   August 11th, 2010 - 4:23 pm

What a mature voice for so young a person. Doubtless that voice has been coached for some time. Her youth and amazing voice reminds me of Bjork. I so hope fame doesn't ruin her.

smellyfinger   August 11th, 2010 - 4:24 pm

WAKEUP LIBS!!!!

timmor84   August 11th, 2010 - 4:24 pm

if it is legitimate, why is she on this show, she doesn't need these people or their predatory contracts. look at idol winner fantasia…do we need a repeat?

Sunsetsabunch   August 11th, 2010 - 4:27 pm

I watched this show and when she started to sing I couldn't believe that could be coming from her…. but I guess it was…. incredible voice !!!!!

NEOFREEDOM   August 11th, 2010 - 4:27 pm

Yes a GEM of a voice !

shane7776   August 11th, 2010 - 4:31 pm

A gift from GOD!!!!

Meh88   August 11th, 2010 - 4:31 pm

Ok….. why is SHE on that stupid show?

JohNi1q   August 11th, 2010 - 4:32 pm

Amazing voice young lady, will look forward to hearing your singing in the future.

Taxpayer1234   August 11th, 2010 - 4:42 pm

They said the same thing about Charlotte Church. The first time I saw Church sing, I had a hard time accepting the dichotomy of a young girl with a woman's singing voice.

This girl is obviously trained in classical opera. Kind of crazy, but what the heck, if she loves it…!

barkingbird   August 11th, 2010 - 4:44 pm

A STAR is born !!!

barkingbird   August 11th, 2010 - 4:45 pm

Got that right….she is truly blessed with a gift from God !!!

joymc   August 11th, 2010 - 4:51 pm

I was watching. The first thing I said to my husband was it looked like lip sinking. We will see. Maybe a star is born.

barkingbird   August 11th, 2010 - 5:00 pm

Fraud or not…….not everybody has to sing (?) that dumb-ass rap crap….America has LOWERED standards enough…..maybe…just maybe… there is talent still out there !!!

ScarySoetoro   August 11th, 2010 - 5:05 pm

Lip sync? No. Weird? um, kinda… i mean, she's 10 years old and sounds like a 30 year old…

Bush's fault.

don   August 11th, 2010 - 5:18 pm

PRAY TO GOD THAT HER MOTHER & FATHER ARE VERY RELIGIOUS PERSONS WHOM BELIEVE IN GOD ALMIGHTY. THEY WILL HAVE TO PRAY A LOT FOR THEIR LITTLE GIFT TO GROW UP A DECENT PERSON. IF SHE IS IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL, THEY BETTER START TALKING & FINDING OUT WHAT KIND OF TEACHERS SHE HAS, FOR THEY WILL LOVE TO TURN HER IN THE SOCIALIST/COMMIE POLITICALLY CORRECT DRUGGIE TO REPRESENT THE DEVIL EXTREMISTS HATE MONGER LEFT WING DEMONIC-CRATS. HOPE SHE IS GIVEN A CHANCE TO BE A KID BEFORE THE VULTURES DESCEND ON THE FAMILY TO USE HER FOR $$$$$$$$$. MAKE SURE THAT SOROS OR OBAMMA BRAIN WASHING IS NEVER ALLOWED IN THE HOUSE, FOR THEY ARE THE DEVILS FRONT LINE DESCIPLES.

OffDuty   August 11th, 2010 - 5:35 pm

Beautiful child with an amazing voice.

FemVet4Freedom   August 11th, 2010 - 5:39 pm

I think it is moments like this that God reminds us that our gifts are given to us by him. We all have talent yet we are all given this by our creator. Man can not duplicate what he gives us for beauty.

TexasStomp   August 11th, 2010 - 5:53 pm

This much I know

The performance was not dubbed. Her voice is mature beyond her years and that makes her situation very dangerous. The urge, after national exposure like this, is to hit the high gear, Julliard was probably on the phone before she finished with an offer most parents would not refuse. And every note she sings from now until forever will add scar tissue and callouses to her vocal cords

Me….I thank the judges, take the prize money, take my kid home, let her sing in the church choir, maybe release one song per year…if that, let her be a 10 year old kid, let her grow up, live her life and if Julliard is still interested when she's 18…off she goes.

People don't realize that vocal cords just like joints are vulnerable to any number of problems from over use, over reach and just repetition. Why do you think so many "tennis wonder kids retire so early?" Joints are shot!

If she is allowed to grow, mature and does not overuse her voice, Julliard will take her any time she calls and she will be singing with the Met when she's 40 or beyond.

duh_swami   August 11th, 2010 - 5:53 pm

It could be faked, but I don't think so…to pull that off she would have to be a better actress than singer…I think she's for real, beautiful…

HeReturnsSoon   August 11th, 2010 - 5:58 pm

I just hope she dosn't have overbearing parents who drive her tallent. A person is only a child once and for only a short time. She has 50 more years to become a famous singer. She has time, i wish her well. Bravo.

tiredofit2010   August 11th, 2010 - 6:00 pm

Jim Nabors had a much different speaking voice than what came out when he was singing….I don't think it was lip-synced. A great voice that should be preserved and treasured!!!

Her Audition. She was not lip synching. She could be a prodigy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0et5xcXvQns

Suvrec   August 11th, 2010 - 6:19 pm

Boy I wish I could let you see the contract these kids sign before being permitted to take part,

I AM SURE IT IS TIGHTER THAN DUCKS REAR END AND WOULD TAKE AN ACT OF CONGRESS TO BREAK.

It basically will say the company owns her, her talent, her future, where she goes if she wins, what she cannot do if she looses, what she sings, to whom she sings it, what she wears, what TV shows she appears on ……….. her parents will probably just have to make do with the $$$$$ and let their daughter go ……..

Suvrec   August 11th, 2010 - 6:22 pm

See my reply above, her parents probably had to co-sign the contract ……… all I can say is I hope they had it read by a competent, well versed, expensive TEAM of contract lawyers

I hope she is permitted a childhood and not turned into another "blonde" brat (cash cow) in the making

Nalora   August 11th, 2010 - 6:28 pm

She has been on Youtube for greater than a year posting videos of her singing. http://www.youtube.com/user/usedmeb4

Obamanable   August 11th, 2010 - 6:30 pm

I don't buy it one bit. Well, maybe? Where has she been hiding?

howardrourk   August 11th, 2010 - 6:42 pm

Hard to believe they would risk a lip sync charge as it would destroy the show forever.

gwar5   August 11th, 2010 - 6:51 pm

She's great, bravo. We'll see more of her I'm sure.

TexasStomp   August 11th, 2010 - 7:21 pm

I sure wish we could find out about that. I haven't heard anything except they appear on that show again as a special treat….

Can't imagine parents who would sign a kid away like that. Didn't the entertainment pros prohibit letting parents do stuff like that for child stars years ago….like Kurt Russell? There are laws but contracts, pfffff, who knows.

I'd like to find out though.

Oh Mr Beeeeeeeeeeee any chance of a quick look-see on that point? :-) )))))

alfogue   August 11th, 2010 - 7:37 pm

Although it appears, as she was lip-synching, she is for REAL! Thanks to those for posting links to Jackie’s performances, it leaves no doubt.

mg24   August 11th, 2010 - 7:42 pm

Having had a father in law who was a musician in the sixties, I can tell you that pure talent, no matter how great is not enough to make it as a singer if you don't know the right people. This was a great way for her to gain world wide exposure and at this point I'm sure she doesn't even need America's Got Talent.

Suvrec   August 11th, 2010 - 7:44 pm

Extract from TMZ

One major part of the contract is that the contestant has to swear off any fraternizing with the show's celebs. "Neither I nor any members of my family or my friends will enter into any personal, social, business, and or financial relationships with any of the judges, host(s), guest stars …" is the exact language. The relationship prohibition is required until 6 months after the show stops airing.

Now on the money. The winner gets $175,000 upon winning and another $175,000 upon delivery of an album. From then on, each delivered album nets him or her more money, upon until the sixth album, which pays they between $500,000 and $1 million, depending on the success of the album.

The runner-up gets $150,000 upon taking second and another $150,000 upon delivery of an album. The money goes up from there for the runner-up but is always a little less than the winner's amount. For finishers 3 through 12, if the label signs them, gets $100,000 upon signing and another $100,000 upon album delivery.

Interesting. We would've guessed the amounts for the winner and runner-up would have been more. The other interesting part of the contract is that "American Idol" isn't required to pay incidental expenses during the show's run.

Tomtom29   August 11th, 2010 - 7:59 pm

Wow, wow, wow! I hope it's not BS.

badassbone   August 11th, 2010 - 8:02 pm

I consider foisting this fake on us as LOWERED standards. There is plenty of good music out there if you want to find it.

rfb10   August 11th, 2010 - 8:28 pm

she has a few videos and she is no fake! just an amazing gift! unreal!

Briany24   August 11th, 2010 - 8:38 pm

I have a bit of experience in this field…SHE WAS "NOT" LIP SYNCING!!! All I can say is WOW!!! What a beautiful voice for such a young girl…WOW!

Veritas_Warrior   August 11th, 2010 - 8:57 pm

Amazing! I hate these "reality" shows, but that was just really out of the ordinary. In a country that in these years past has celebrated mediocrity, that was good to see!

amanuensis   August 11th, 2010 - 9:07 pm

Better be sure Moe Hammit does not find her.

amanuensis   August 11th, 2010 - 9:22 pm

Fraud from GE/NBC, the company that brings evil to you?
GE/NBC is in Obama's pocket. They would never lie about anything.
Shame on your for making fun of Obama's TV channel. Shame shame shame.

Q13   August 11th, 2010 - 9:52 pm

Love her voice. Love her smile. I hope she gets to enjoy her childhood.

For the nay-sayers out there, she was not lip-syncing. You're just not used to real talent anymore.

OffDuty   August 11th, 2010 - 10:28 pm

Excellent observation. I agree.

OxyCon   August 11th, 2010 - 10:37 pm

At times her voice sounded like what you'd expect from a ten year old, but most of the time it was "wow! where is that sound coming from?".

Aquaroyale   August 11th, 2010 - 11:03 pm

When I first heard this it reminded me of Rush Limbaugh's bumper music. He had a opera star do this with the line "God Bless You Rush Limbaugh." He plays it every once in a while when someone requests it.

Baloshka   August 11th, 2010 - 11:44 pm

Bravo!

_TruthTeller_   August 12th, 2010 - 3:02 am

I've been in the music biz over 25 years.
My opinion is-
I've just watched about 7 other videos with her singing, and it look like she is FOR REAL!!!! I am completely blown away.

She makes Susan Boyle look like a pony in a horse race.

Watch out America, this girl is Charlotte Church, Sarah Brightman and Celene Dion rolled into one cute little bright-eyed package. 3 years or less to SUPERSTARDOM!!!

MuckFexicoII   August 12th, 2010 - 4:19 am

FIRST….no she is not lip syncing. She is from a small town North of Pittsburgh, PA…I don't want to give out the twon…the media will find it soon enough

BUT, what I cannot get into perspective is how they can perform, then be judged on one night and then come back the next night (WEARING THE SAME CLOTHES) and be selected.
I know they say it is live….but I really don't get that feeling. And I realize video tape is in…BUT???? Too many questions…

sunflowers   August 12th, 2010 - 4:47 am

I feel terrible saying this, but it is NBC and I have to say I just don't buy it. It's a recording of Susan Boyle. This poor child will be damaged for life. Do I dare say remember Balloon boy. To me this is criminal. Sorry all but I have to be a doubting Thomas on this one. Update—– Ok after hearing the Ava Maria, I feel better maybe I'm wrong. I hope so.

eleutheroo1   August 12th, 2010 - 5:08 am

She is NO Susan Boyle. She is, by far, more talented than Susan Boyle. There's no comparison, really.

elizabethrc   August 12th, 2010 - 5:52 am

If this is truly her own voice, she's in for a tough time. People will be all over her to use her and she runs the risk of becoming another Sarah Brightman, who may have had operatic potential in the beginning, but who has turned into a 3rd rung big stage, big orchestra, big amplification commodity.
If she is a prodigy, she needs to be taken in hand by a serious teacher who will nurture her and not give way to all of the glitzy offers coming her way. Successful opera singers work and train for years and years before they are considered 'ready'.

firstHat   August 12th, 2010 - 5:53 am

Yes, If you look through her earlier stuff you can see her maturing and seriously working at improving her weaknesses. Also, to a trained ear, her TV performance was far from perfect. Don't get me wrong, it was simply amazing for a ten year old. However, if they wanted her to fake it, I think they could have/would have had her fake perfection. As others here say, I hope they let her continue to mature and her coaches make sure she is using her voice right.

On the other hand, this is exactly how Julie Andrews got her start (singing difficult opera pieces at the age of 6 if I remember rightly) and her vocal cords were just fine until a few years ago. Cross your fingers

tiredofit2010   August 12th, 2010 - 6:33 am

So does Susan Boyle…I don't think she was lip syncing either…

wtd   August 12th, 2010 - 9:00 am

Susan Boyle? Why such a comparison? This amazing cherub kept perfect pitch and her delivery was flawless. Reminds me more of Charlotte Church . . .hope she doesn't swing to opposing extremes to escape the image of unsustainable 'perfection' as Charlotte Church did -though. God bless her with this amazing voice, and God blessed us with the opportunity to share her success. May Jackie succeed beyond her wildest dreams.

kmichaels   August 12th, 2010 - 9:24 am

What I said was that she was absolutely wonderful
and then (this part rightfully got my post deleted)
I hoped that liberals at disney would not get their
selfish slimy hands on her and turn her into another
Lindsay Lohen (only I did not use those words, just
pick any viable substitute for what she is.)

kmichaels   August 12th, 2010 - 9:25 am

You mean she is a liberal?

kmichaels   August 12th, 2010 - 9:26 am

If only she could do some mindless rap, then the liberals would love her too.

kmichaels   August 12th, 2010 - 10:24 am

I can only assume the fake that was foisted upon us that you so angrily
are talking about is Barry Obama.

gwgn02   August 12th, 2010 - 10:38 am

Is there any other video of her singing? Other performances, or home video? I think that would put to rest any authenticity grievences some people have.

I only seen small parts on the news, but I went to Google and found Jackie in full completion. Thank you Google. When you listen to this young girl, you just want to hug her. Thank you Jackie
