When viewers heard 11-year-old Jackie Evancho sing “The Lord’s Prayer,” they said this must be like what it’s to hear angels sing in heaven. Jackie performed a very special rendition of the prayer set to a musical arrangement by producer David Foster, and her voice had a pure and majestic quality that was truly heavenly. There are quite a few talented young singers, but The Music Man has never heard any with the passion and power of Jackie, which is no doubt why the video blew up to 4.1 million views.

Some people are just born to sing on the big stage and Jackie is 100% one of them. She has a remarkable amount of control and gravitas to her voice that goes far beyond her years. Jackie’s Dream with Me in Concert event featured a number of worship songs, but “The Lord’s Prayer” might just be the highlight, as her yearning vocal performance gave the timeless piece a deeply moving power. You’ll def want to tune in from the 2:48 mark where she builds to an otherworldly falsetto that is just awe-inspiring.
Jackie recorded Dream with Me in Concert all the way back in April 2011, although more recently she treated fans to a high-definition upload of her rendition of “The Lord’s Prayer” on YouTube. Fans kept coming back to the unique performance and added comments such as “Unbelievable. This must be what it is like to hear angels sing in heaven” and “Wow, I can’t believe that voice comes from that little girl. What soul and feeling for the songs she sings. Just amazing and beautiful!”
Jackie created a number of hit videos from Dream with Me in Concert. Another fan favorite is her rendition of Giacomo Puccini’s aria “Nessun dorma.” Jackie again delivers a vocal masterclass, and she sure has a good handle on singing in Italian for an 11-year-old from Pennsylvania. She also has a real knack for building up her performances to a thunderous conclusion. In this performance, she delivers a remarkable vocal de force from the 2:18 mark, which The Music Man can guarantee will give you goosebumps all over.
Jackie released her second studio album Dream with Me on June 3, 2011. She was 11 years old at the time of release, but actually recorded the vocals when she was just 10. Prior to the album’s release, she recorded Dream with Me in Concert in April 2011. Dream with Me in Concert subsequently debuted on PBS Great Performances as a television special in June 2011. Within three months of its debut, the concert had been broadcast nearly 2000 times, making it one of the most popular specials in the 38-year history of the series.
