Video: Child Prodigy Found -- Jackie Evancho, 10 Year Old Girl With an Amazing Operatic Voice

Ten year old Jackie Evancho went with her parents to see "Phantom of the Opera" two years ago, when she was eight.  She loved the music so much she started singing it around the house.  That led to an audition for the television program "America's Got Talent."  During her performance, she blew the audience and judges away with an amazingly mature soprano voice.  The YouTube video of her performance rapidly went viral and is embedded below.

Dang, I struggle to stay on key singing "Folsom Prison Blues" and this young lady was born with a tremendous voice.  She will be a great opera star someday, count on it.

  5. Pas, I thought the same thing when I first heard this.  Is this little lady somehow channeling an opera great from the past?  Well, probably not, but it did give me pause.
