Hawk, wiping tears away.
edit to add Jackie Evancho, She is 11 years old.
I was discussing this kid with my roommates a few days ago. Yeah, she's got a voice on her, I'll agree, but sticking her on a stage in Vegas is probably not the best thing for her, not to mention she has no stage presence at all. I predict she'll be burnt out by age 25 or go nuts from being a kid star.
I think Poppycock is better, anyway.

WhoIsIOZ was talking about how her voice will peak way early, much earlier than most opera singers, unless she gets a real voice instructor immediately.
She's absolutely unreal, I have to say.
I hope that she doesn't have psychotic stage-parents.

What is? :?
Well, Poppycock is pretty good, but I like Jackie better. I mean, at 11 years old I wasn't doing anything like that.
And even if the child has a 10 or 15 year career, well, damned if I won't say "Job well done!"
That Evancho kid is kind of incredible, but I found the Fighting Gravity act more entertaining. It was almost more stage magic than the stage magic act.

They are pretty good, but my soft spot is damn good music, opera included.
I'm just wondering if that sort of singing at that age is normally possible, even with maximum training.

Hell no.
I didn't think so.
Next inquiry: Is she a cyborg of some kind?
