Jackie Evancho - All I Ask Of You (from Dream With Me In Concert)

Good Early/Mid-Sunday Afternoon my RP Brothers and Sisters!

One evening on "America's Got Talent" there was a 10-year old contestant who walked on stage and proceeded to totally take the audience by storm with her gorgeous voice... For my first Sunday Afternoon Music Interlude, I am introducing a very young "Jackie Evancho" who sings "All I Ask Of You" from Phantom of the Opera... Remember, she was just a little over 10 years old when she sang this song on PBS for a David Foster Special...

I will then post a song by her from 2019 to show you that this young girl of 10 has now turned into a beautiful and talented 19-year old... and how impressive she has become...

Background detail:
Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho (/iːˈvæŋkoʊ/ ee-VANG-koh; born April 9, 2000 is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued a platinum-selling EP and eight albums, including three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. She has also been the subject of three solo PBS concert specials.

Evancho first caught record producer David Foster's attention in 2009.[25] She was selected for the regional semifinals of his "Hitman Talent Search Contest", finishing as runner-up, and in October 2009 she sang in the "David Foster & Friends" concert at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

In November 2009, Evancho released her independent debut album, Prelude to a Dream. The album featured mainly covers of classical crossover songs such as "Con te partirò", "The Prayer", "To Where You Are", "Concrete Angel" and "Amazing Grace". It debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 121, and at No. 2 on the Billboard Classical Albums chart, in August 2010, after Evancho's first performance on America's Got Talent. Evancho's parents withdrew the album later that month, citing Evancho's vocal progress since its release.

After two earlier unsuccessful auditions for the show, Evancho was accepted as a contestant on the fifth season of NBC's America's Got Talent (AGT) by placing first in its 2010 YouTube competition. On August 10, 2010, Evancho performed the aria "O mio babbino caro" in the show's quarter-final round. The judges' reactions were effusive. Afterwards, commentators queried whether her performance had been lip-synched. On the next evening's live show, Evancho sang an impromptu voice exercise to demonstrate that the broadcast was of her live voice. In an interview, judge Howie Mandel addressed the issue: "[W]hat people are ... really saying [is] that it's really too good to be true.
