AP - Watch out, Susan Boyle. Here comes Jackie.

A 10-year-old Pennsylvania girl who was chosen by YouTube viewers to compete on NBC’s America’s Got Talent stunned the judges and audience Tuesday night with her big voice.

Jackie Evancho, of Pine Township, sang Giacomo Puccini’s aria “O Mio Babbino Caro” and received praise from the judges and overwhelming applause from the audience.

The tiny blonde wore a pink ruffled dress and a big smile. After the performance, Jackie said she was so happy she wanted to cry.

Jackie was one of 12 acts who performed on the show Tuesday night. Four of those performers will join 20 other semifinalists who are competing for $1 million and a contract to perform in Las Vegas.

Americas BEST FAKE VOICE. Jackie Evancho.Wins the overall award for best artificially engineered voice.The only problem now is she cannot sing like the voice she or anyone else hears on AGT.

This is called BIG SCAM. I will explain why.This little girl is not even Opera. They went under the Opera title as long as they could,till to many experts and viewers called them out on this.She simply sings cooing in Operatic tones to mask all the imperfections in her pitch,tempo, and inability to hold notes.This was only the first part to fake the audience. Her parents hired a Promotional agent in UK who had trouble marketing her first CD it was such poor quality. Then they did a publicity stunt by saying she would appear at Carnegie Hall Dec 2nd to make her appealing to AGT. This of course was a false booking because if anyone would have checked, she was never on the guest list.Now their defense is she canceled. Her dads past business was in marketing and advanced digital technology.His present business is in high tech sensory devices.Oddly enough they do not want this known. Probably because a few musical experts have thought her voice on AGT was enhanced or amplified.How can so many people and experts be so cynical they say. Well if you listen to all her audios all over u-tube between 3 to 5 months ago her voices hardly qualifies as being good.There is but an answer for this to, God worked a miracle for this little angel in three months time.
