I'll be recording tonight's performance...I'll share some clips afterwards. OK, but send me a case of scotch to drink first if you want me to watch it. Just watch it sober Disappointed. You'll be surprised how much you like it.

She was awesome. I'm kicking myself because I wasn't recording as I thought I was until Over the Rainbow, but at least I got everything from #7 on. It was great seeing her sing Ave Maria and Can You Feel the Love Tonight again..it's been a long time. She must have rehearsed these songs quite a bit - in fact she sang many of the classical songs better than I've heard before in concert. I hope she gets a chance to do this same concert a few more times because it was excellent. I recorded the entire concert, but am crossing fingers on the quality - had buffering issues on a couple songs. There was a stern warning about downloading, copying, etc. from 54 Below at the end. I hope you at least caught Can You Feel the Love Tonight and Ave Maria. Those are the two I didn't get that I wish I had. lol

Anything new from Jackie's life story she was supposed to talk about or was it the same old news.

Anything new from Jackie's life story she was supposed to talk about or was it the same old news. Mostly stuff we already know. One thing she did mention that was news to me, and she said fans probably don't know about it. When she was 12 she was offered a chance to sing "Over the Rainbow" for Oprah with Patty Labelle and Josh Groban, or get a role with Disney. She chose the Oprah gig. "So, Disney wanted me too." she said. Not sure what the Disney gig was for exactly, but I always wondered why Disney didn't scoop her up and do something with her when she was young.

Because there was no evidence that Jackie could act. 2. But she is saying Disney did offer her a gig, she turned them down. 3. Jackie chose the most lucrative career path available to her - a concert career.

Saying Jackie can’t act, when Sally Field was in that sitcom Flying Nun, who at that time would have thought she would win an Academy Award? So I get tired 😴 of people saying Jackie can’t act, maybe that is true but I also believe she hasn’t had a David Foster type to help her develop her acting skills! You could say Robert Redford, but he didn’t really spend that much time with her to help her develop her acting skills! He wanted to get a film 🎥 made !

Jackie probably missed many opportunities because she stayed in Pittsburgh. Almost all the kids that were on Disney lived in LA. I said Jackie should have moved to LA long ago for the opportunities that are there. Most of the big things Jackie was in was in LA. The AGT shows the Masked Singer ect. Many more opportunities for commercials and movies and the big labels are in California. Jackie should have went where the work was.

But I could see Disney giving her a one and done role, especially if they could incorporate her singing into the role somehow.

Mabye as a teen or adult, she could have done better with some training...who knows. I can only judge her acting skills based on the one movie she was in, and imo she came across as very amateurish. Put an experienced or highly talented 11 or 12 year old actor in the same role and that person would have blown Jackie out of the water. Not Jackie's fault in any way though. You can't be good at everything. She has tried playing instruments, and doesn't appear to have much in the way of natural ability there either...as well as having little to no training. She a singer...that is her talent. She is also VERY creative, AND, I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that she appears to have some talent in the song writing arena.

Mabye some here know this...but I didn't. Jackie said that after the "Songs from the Silver Screen" album, her label cut her loose, feeling that the "little girl with the big voice gimmick" had played out and run its course as she was becoming a teenager. She did say that her subsequent new label let her pretty much pick what would be on her next album though, which I guess would be "Awakening".

Jackie is good at painting and drawing ✍️, on those plane ✈️ trips she had to have something to do, so get out a pad of paper and pencil ✏️ there you are!

Does that whale sing to backing tracks? None of the potatoheads could sing solo without a track and to just a piano accompaniment. Sadly for Jackie, she has discovered that there is no demand for anyone, potatoheads or otherwise, who can sing solo without a track and to just a piano accompaniment.
