Yeah I saw that live, was even more impressive watching it a 2nd time. Put's ol' Susan Boyle to shame, without even considering that we're talking about a 10 year old!

Winner of America's got talent this year. That was amazing watching it for the 2nd time. I couldn't believe she was for real watching it live.

Susan Boyle was 10 times the singer she is. Good for a 10 year old though.

I'll have to disagree. Little Jackie's voice is surprisingly crisp and accurate. Moreso than Susan I think. Jackie has to work on her breathing a bit, especially at the start, but that was probably the nerves. She's pretty damn amazing though!

Disagree. Susan Boyle is a really good singer, but half of her success stemmed from the fact that people took one look at her appearance and wrote her off before she sang a note, then were floored when she could sing.

"Good for a ten year old though." Give me a break. Sometimes I think you post just to see your own voice.

Yeah, she was nervous at the beginning especially. I expect her to be better in the semis, and then I just don't see how she doesn't win. To win these competitions as a singer you have to be abnormal in some way, either ugly like a Potts or Boyle, or a little kid like this girl. A good looking mature woman doing that wouldn't garner nearly this reaction.

Beautiful voice, though, especially at the higher register. Her lower register could use some work, but she is 10, after all.

I'm a nerd, I grew up listening to opera and what Susan Boyle in her mid age is not even at the level of this young girl.

Susan Boyle can sing, no doubt. But this girl at this very young age is beyond her years! It takes a lot of years to reach the singing voice this girl has already, it scares me to imagine what she'll sound like in 10-20yrs.

I'm sure people were just as surprised at this girls voice as Susan Boyle's voice. Susan Boyle made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and I'm not even a fan of Opera. IMO Susan Boyle is the better singer, Not even close.

It is good for a ten year old..is it not? I don't think people would be as floored if she was in her twenties. Her voice is good, but only because she is 10. Her voice wouldn't be as appealing if she wasn't so young.

Well maybe, you obviously know more about opera than me, but listening to some of her other videos on youtube I don't see her being better than Susan Boyle or any other opera singers I've watched. I do think that one day she will be just as good or better. She is only a ten year old after all and her potential hasn't been reached.

Well Susan Boyle isn't opera, she's show tunes, she's Andrew Lloyd Webber style.

Here's the same song by a famous opera singer, Maria Callas.. Now thats someone who gave me goosebumps, Boyle would be lucky to be a boyle on this woman's butt



Now as for a 10yr old singing anything close to what Maria could sing, is beyond unreal. There is a few seasoned soprano's alive today that could give Maria a challenge for her voice.

Uggh, Yes Susan was neat and a great voice, but she's in her mid age, this is a kid, 10yrs old and she can already boast a voice that few today could.

The way she contorts her mouth to be able to sing like that, her voice will likely be shot by the time she's 16. Singing with that much power will thrash your vocal cords if you don't have proper positioning in your throat and mouth.

She sounds pretty good, but she needs some good coaching.
