PopEater sat down with the very young and even more talented Jackie Evancho who stole all of our hearts on America’s Got Talent, coming in at second place. But who cares about second when your career takes off anyhow? That is just what’s happening for this sweet angel.
Here are a few bits from the interview with PopEater:
When did you start singing and getting into music?
It was about three years ago when I was 8 years old, but I was just a normal kid.
What about now? With all of your success at such a young age, are you still a normal kid?
I go to school when I’m at home but I normally do cyber school. I’m on the computer and I do school on there. Cyber school is fun, but it’s not as fun as normal school. In normal school you get to interact more, but it’s fine.
Do you miss hanging out with your friends?
No, because I still get to hang out with them a lot when I’m at home.
You came in second on ‘America’s Got Talent.’ Were you disappointed that you came all that way and didn’t win?
No, it was not disappointing. The experience was fun and I wasn’t expecting myself to win. I wasn’t even expecting myself to make it on the show, so I’m very proud of what I accomplished. I would be proud of myself if I had just made it to the first round.
Do you feel any pressure now that you have your debut album coming out?
Not really. I’m just doing what I love to do.
The title of your debut album is ‘Dream With Me.’ What does that title mean to you?
Well, the last CD that I had done was called ‘Prelude to a Dream’ and that’s the beginning of a dream. Prelude is usually the beginning of a song or beginning of something. With ‘Dream With Me,’ I’ve kind of already made it. So, that dream has become real life, so now it’s the real thing.
Now head over to PopEater to hear Jackie singing Sarah McLachlan’s ‘Angel’ and read the rest of the interview.
