Most anticpated Christmas CD this season! Jackie Evancho is the most extraordinary vocalist I have ever heard! Her Chistmas EP last year, O Holy Night, went platinum in 4 weeks and her full length CD, Dream With Me, went gold in the same time and is headed to platinum soon!Her accomplishements to date include, not just those albums, but a PBS special which drove record breaking donations to public television, and a sold out concert tour with symphony orchestras across the country. She also has a duet with Tony Bennett on his #1 new album, Duets II!There MUST be a reason that she has accomplised all of this in just the one year since she burst on the music scene ... and anyone who has listened to, and watched, this incredible young singer knows the reason. She is the most talented singer that I have ever heard. It's not just that her technique, her pitch, her tone, etc. are perfection. No, it's that the music, the song, infuses her and she moves to a place where all of the meaning and emotion of the song is discovered ... and she not only shows us that place ... but she brings us along! It's an emotional experience not to be forgotten!Many dismiss her because of her youth. This is a great mistake! She is NOT a child singer. She is a child, yes, but one who does not sound at all like a child, and who is in the same class with her peers who are many years older. She has sung with Susan Boyle, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Katherine Jenkins, and the Canadian Tenors. She is, and wants to be, judged by the same standards as these great vocalists and she meets and exceeds those standards.Ms Evancho is a professional and works hard to achieve the higest levels of performance and she delivers at the higest levels. This highly anticipated, full length Christmas album will, I'm sure, exceed all previous efforts because, as she grows and matures, each performance has eclipsed the one of just a few month before. She will soon be recognized as a superstar in her profession.You will not go wrong with this Christmas album. Indeed, I expect that it will be your "go to" album every Christmas from now on! 10/03/2011
If you've been lucky enough to have seen & heard Jackie's "Dream With Me In Concert" program aired multiple times by PBS stations this past year, you already know what an amazing singer this young lady is. She doesn't sound like a kid so don't be mislead by the pretty little girl on the jacket. I'm 64, have listened to music all my life and have never witnessed such a gifted and wonderful talent. Jackie's music will greatly enhance your Christmas with her beautiful voice and heartfelt singing of these wonderful songs. Trust me, its a must have. 10/07/2011
