... Since she has chosen to go in a new path, I just wish that she would have gone in a much more up-tempo direction. My guess is because of her breath control issues. She uses too much air to produce her thin tone. She needs to fix this. In the more lively last part of this song, and when the song ends, I feel her lungs emptying rapidly. Jackie Evancho - Behind My Eyes (Live Performance) She has to take a breath in the middle of "Somewhere over the rainbow" when most singers would sail through it. Jackie Evancho - Somewhere Over the Rainbow This is Jackie at her finest in my opinion. This is her so-called "new voice" that she said she was taught to do during recording. She seemed pleased to learn this, and surprised she had it in her. Very open sounding, good breath control, and resonant. Whatever she's doing here, she has since stopped doing it. Jackie Evancho - Another Day/No Day But Today I can hear where those breath control issues in these songs. Are her breath issues simply a function of her tiny body? Are those the kind of problems that can be overcome? |

One can certainly make the best of what one's got with technique that uses the air most effectively. She has had pneumonia, twice, I think. I don't know if that reduces capacity or makes her a little overcautious. |

... I can hear where those breath control issues in these songs. Are her breath issues simply a function of her tiny body? Are those the kind of problems that can be overcome? My guess is she doesn't keep up with vocal instruction/coaching, and more importantly, practice. A coach can help her experiment with vocal placement, diaphragm control, and soft palate/tongue/larynx repositioning. Likely because she spent so many years manipulating her voice for a "classical" sound, that way of singing became a habit that is easy to fall back on, and it's to her detriment. An objective coach can help her overcome challenges and bad habits. Now that she has reached an age where she does not have to rely on affectations, she can relax and let her naturally older yet youthful adult tone be more open, resonant and powerful at any volume or pitch. On practicing, it would be ideal to have a place that is private. Self-consciousness can bottle a person up. A good place to practice is a dedicated practice room. Community colleges with music programs usually have several that anyone can use if they're unoccupied. Some music stores have them as well. They're semi-soundproof and almost always empty. Coaching can go on in a teacher's house or studio, but you have to have a place that you feel uninhibited and free to experiment without embarrassment. It's not the size of her lungs (a baby can blow your eardrums), it definitely sounds like she's pushing her voice up into through her sinuses or something that is muffling it, not allowing it to resonate openly with good diction. She needs a coach to assess it in person and work with her. This is not opera talk by the way, it's stuff that pop singers, rappers and anyone who sings can and do benefit from. |

http://instagram.com/p/C5OnvWCOHNC Second scene. I call it BS for anyone saying Jackie wasn't trying to be sexy.
In the entertainment industry if you got the looks and the body go for it as everyone else will be.

Second scene. I call it BS for anyone saying Jackie wasn't trying to be sexy. Nope. Your perception and Caz's has always been wrong and twisted, johnny rain cloud's as well. For someone who spends hundreds of hours on instagram, you know that is nothing in comparison to what those half or most naked's post. |

In the entertainment industry if you got the looks and the body go for it as everyone else will be. There are those who don't, or only very little, certainly not emphasizing it as a selling point. Darci Lynne, for instance (not that there's anything wrong with her appearance!); doesn't seem to hurt her. People are of course entitled to do anything the law allows. Doesn't always mean it will work out as well in the long run for them as it seems to in the short run; that's part of what being personally (as contrasted with expecting it of others) conservative is about. Thus far I have a definite sense that Jackie has boundaries of her own, which is necessary to avoid harm to self and others. And I think that between her and both conservative and less conservative influences and advisors*, she's been appropriate and just about always elegant**, neither extremely timid nor extremely risqué in appearance choices. * dads SHOULD be protective, and women they trust SHOULD remind them when they're overdoing it. There's always a balance between freedom and responsibility, and we're not born with it, so even if some principles are fixed, our interpretation of them can be a slightly moving target as we grow. ** while she always looked good, I have to wonder who picked that peach frills thing she wore singing for Dancing With the Stars; IMO it did her less favors than something else might, although of course as a live singer rather than one of the dancers (not to mention at that age then), she wasn't supposed to be the center of attention. But pretty much everything else was IMO quite suitable for professional (or personal) and the type, venue, and time of day of the occasion, which is a very good record; most people have far more misses than that. |

There's always a balance between freedom and responsibility, and we're not born with it, so even if some principles are fixed, our interpretation of them can be a slightly moving target as we grow. Jackie is probably the only 24 year old female that would take advice from her dad on how to dress. The sooner Jackie gets rid of her old team the better off she will be. But by now I think it is probably a little to late. Who in their right mind would invest on an artist that has been in the business for 13 years and has so few followers. Much less all the physical and mental problems. I have seen so many missed opportunities over the years that she should not be given another chance. Give it to some young artist that when given half a chance like any of the dozens Jackie has had over the years will run with it. |

You can complain about followers (social media has certainly become more important to success, although IMNSHO it's still BS and more harmful to use or participate in than useful for most younger users). But some of the fairly young folks mentioned here aren't exactly models of mental stability either. So I wouldn't push that point much if I were you. |
