Is she sick with the bug lockdown . What does Father mean quarantine i no understand Beachguy, Jackie is not sick. Quarantine is a general term for what most people in the country are doing right now - staying at home - or living separated from others. Me ? you talkin to me ?ok i was eating a pizza .. i know no one staying home ...they are working or going places they need to ..or walking the pets ...or taking a walk ...etc etc etc etc etc etc ..they just are not going in groups ...by the way i saw 10 firemen walking around a pond for exercise i guess and they were right next to each other DUH ! our Governor says to visit family is ok ...Ps Jackie lost the AGT for singing a song of one religion and people at home now a day will vote for non religious song plus the kind of young voters watching this show will not vote a religious singer but a main stream type .Book It .

True, but I don't think Lisa ever gave up with the social media accounts even when she was removed from the day-to-day managing of Jackie's career. The accounts were Lisa's - not Jackie's - and I think Lisa often pushed propaganda for her LGBT crusade in Jackie's mouth. Not that Jackie would have disagreed with what she wrote, but Lisa was more adamant about getting her transgendered offspring in front of the public no matter what the effect on Jackie's career. It wouldn't have mattered much if Jackie's appeal were to teenagers, but her target audience was older middle America types who didn't respond well to having that shoved in their face by someone they had pictured as "wholesome." You should win a prize for that. As I said TikTok is really Jackie's only social media platform. Remember when Jackie said she was locked out of youtube because she couldn't remember the pass code. I never heard of that happening. Look at her TicTok surprised nobody noticed it. She says this is me BEFORE AGT when I was 10 she is sing pop music. https://www.tiktok.com/@jackieevancho5/video/6813432434432953605
a little extra also.

Tic Tok after a German story admitted it suppressed videos of LGBTQ people because of bullies on it ...it wanted to limit it ...is that good for the videos not seen ? should this odd membership LGBTQ group like this ..?

People who have consideration outside that of themselves feel for the suffering of others.

I just watched a two-hour internet telethon that Grace Vanderwaal headlined, with Tom Chapin, Suzanne Vega and a host of under-the-radar notables from Rockland County, NY. It was to benefit People to People's food assistance and other programs. There were between 300-400 people viewing on YouTube, and nearly 400 on Facebook. They raised $26,000 while I was watching, with matching donation for same, so $52K.
Sorry to say, Grace was a disappointment to me. She was the only performer who used a phone instead of a full aspect ratio web cam; she used her green kid ukulele that I believe she once called a toy and recently said it always goes out of tune; she eliminated a verse from a song and laughed about it; she forgot the words at the beginning of "I Don't Like You;" She sang only three songs and one was a cover; She kept laughing and making cracks about how bad she is or whatever; her eyes wandered (I think she was looking at the streaming comments); and generally acted like she was on one of her Instagram livestreams and didn't give a crap about any of it. This was a benefit concert and she was the headliner. I don't know.. I was enjoying the whole concert until she came on, so it's not like I was in a bad mood when she started. I'm sure people will enjoy it when it's posted somewhere, but to me she came across like someone who needs to remember where she came from.
Maybe she was nervous and this is how she dealt with it, but I recall once getting irritated with Jackie at a concert for a sloppy first-act performance and similarly laughing it off, yet charging top dollar for tickets. No matter what your age, when you turn pro, you act like a pro.

I'll have to watch it tomorrow, on it's own and not comparing it to other performances, and see if I feel the same. It's been posted a few times and has a lot of high praise. One of the reposts below. Haven't watched it again yet:

One of the reposts below. Haven't watched it again yet: linkNo, you were spot on as I am a big Grace fan and also was annoyed by her performance. I don't need to compare her to other people as I have seen her live and know how good she can be when she puts her mind to it. I also saw her performance on Jimmy Kimmel just a few weeks ago performing one of the same songs she sang tonight ("Today and Tomorrow") - also by herself accompanied by her uke - and it was 100 times better. One of the differences is something you noted - tonight she was using some cheap uke she has owned since before AGT. In concert and on Jimmy Kimmel she used one of her signature Fender ukes or a Fender Zuma. Both are professional quality ukes with a great sound. Why she wouldn't use one of those tonight is a complete mystery to me. You were also right in making a comparison to her Instagram posts when she just plays some songs casually. Goofing off in that context is perfectly appropriate - but this was not the place for that. I don't think it was necessarily nervousness since she was under a lot more pressure cooker situation on AGT, various top flight music festivals, and opening for Imagine Dragons and Florence and the Machine and in each of those situations she wowed everyone. I also don't think it was not caring since this group has been one of her pet causes. There are three possibilities to me. The first is she needs the pressure of a live audience to concentrate. The second is this whole COVID-19 thing has got her unhinged (she has a history of psychological issues). The third is that she was stoned out of her mind. The last one isn't a joke - she looked stoned.

She did look stoned! Or drunk. I hesitated to say it because I really don't think she was, but she was definitely off-kilter. Being unhinged by things seems like a good possibility. I've seen a couple of videos of her seeming barely able to cope, but in those cases it was stress or near tears (one was when something went wrong technically during her Kelly & Michael appearance). Another possibility is that she was trying too hard to be the cool rock star. I just hope her audience wasn't heavy with movers and shakers in the NYC area, but that actually seems likely given the media attention that area has been getting in recent weeks.
I'll watch it again tomorrow, though I really don't want to sear a negative image of Grace into my head. Same with Jackie – there are certain performances and interviews I don't want to see again because, in spite of all I've said about her shortcomings, I prefer to remain open to her success as an adult woman.

People who have consideration outside that of themselves feel for the suffering of others. Correct , as the people at the Jerry Springer show .

But in the end, winning [AGT] didn't matter, Jackie's the one who got the career. Agreed. Contestants go on AGT to get exposure and everybody in the Finals got the same amount of exposure. Jackie has had a more successful career than most AGT winners.
