10-year-old "America's Got Talent" contestant Jackie Evancho quickly profited from her buzzed-about performance on the NBC show last week.
Her self-released album, "Prelude to a Dream," starts at No. 121 on the Billboard 200, No. 20 on Digital Albums and No. 2 on Classical Album with 4,000 sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Following its November 2009 digital release, the album had sold a negligible amount until the Pennyslvania native was chosen by YouTube viewers to compete on the talent show last Tuesday (Aug. 10).

Michelle McManus, 30, who won the 2003 Pop Idol contest, will perform before the start of the papal mass in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park in September 16.

It may be a stretch to call her this year's Susan Boyle , but ten-year-old Jackie Evancho wowed audiences of America's Got Talent last night with her remarkably well-seasoned operatic voice.
The adorable blond haired girl sang the aria 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from the 1918 opera 'Gianni Schicchi' to a rousing reception.
Jackie made it onto the show via a YouTube submission, winning the most votes of all the YouTube clips, and it's easy to hear why.

Comments on Susan Boyle (16)
at Jul 7th 2010 3:55PM
SuBo will prevail! Her voice is a powerhouse and she's making her second album that will be even better than the first (Is that possible?) Love you Susan Boyle!!!
at Jul 7th 2010 2:56PM
With a voice like Susan Boyle's, and the many fans that will be with her for all-time, she will prevail. She's a beautiful, courageous person and I hope that as long as she is happy singing for all those who love her, that she will continue to do just that. I am anxiously awaiting the album she is presently recording and will pre-order as soon as available in the USA.

Agree, like Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra, Susan touches the emotions with her voice and heart. She will remain the great star she is just as long as she wants to keep on singing for us. I will keep on listening and will buy any albums or singles she does in the future. I wish she'd do a tour in the U.S. or at least a few concerts. Reportedly her overseas performances were a huge success.

1st class CD. Lovely choice of songs and a marvelous voice. Very pleased for her.

It was on my 49th birthday that Susan sang this incredible song, and I felt as if she were looking at my, and singing hope back into my life, following a series of devastating failures and setbacks over the past few years.
I ate dinner alone that night, and after driving 30 miles to my girlfriend's house, I was greeted by a coldness, an inflammatory birthday card, and thrown out about an hour after I arrived.
I'm no freak or stalker; I graduated from Harvard University in 1990, majoring in Linguistics, and minoring in Natural Science. An intelligence based commission with the Defense Dept. here in the US goes back to the beginning of the first Gulf War in 1991, and I've worked with a fine liaison to British informational experts since 1999. I speak 14 languages. WIth an IQ just short of 170, I have also been working on the Unified Field Theory. I also possess a very high level of security clearance with the Army, GS-14, Ca, DoD 0312, Defense Logistics Agency. A few medical issues preclude me from active duty, though I feel that I'm of best service, exactly where I am today, doing what I do best :- call me an Internet gatekeeper. Some aspects of my work are classified, details of which I am not at liberty to divulge or discuss.
Susan Boyle is a year or two younger than I, and it would be an honor to just give her that first kiss; nothing more, unless the spirit should move us onward from there. I have absolutely no interest or intent for name, fame, or money; I was a millionaire before my business calamity of 2007, and have no doubt that I can do it all over again, in the proper economic setting.
Thank you Susan, for the most beautiful birthday gift I have ever received. French is arguably my best language; I would put it on par with English, with total proficiency in both. German is third, and I'll leave it to you to contact me if you want to know what the others are. Two are of European origin, one from the West and the other from the East. I also speak two localized tongues, one from West Africa which has no written form, and the other from the Caribbean. I have Latin; that should be easy to figure out. The others herald from the Indian sub-continent; I'll start with Sanskrit, then three more secular, and one non-secular dialect. #14 is Aramaic; one of my professors at Harvard knew it quite well. No scholar is truly proficient in this ancient tongue of early Christianity~~ I get words and phrases, sometimes a sentence or two, but this is as far as most people ever go. I'm also very capable in medieval and monastic French, to+- the 11th Century A.D. I've read all of Nostradamus, in his original scripts, modern French, and a number of other translations, primarily Latin, and some in English. I learned the hard way at Harvard, that thou shouldest not embarrass thy professor by correcting his mistake. During a class on the Old Testament, he put up a series of slides showing medieval pictograms of the story of Jacob, being betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery. He said they were written in Latin. That was wrong. It was monastic French, and after pointing out his error, I proceeded to translate the entire text of the nine-panel artist's rendition of this story into perfect English.
Love is the founding principle of this Universe; the more I learn and come to know, the more I wonder. In life, as much as in science, every question answered poses exponentially more of the same...... As human beings, we are not permitted to comprehend the depth of the divinity, yet as science has evolved, it finds itself ever more in harmony with the traditional adversarial tenets of repressive religious dogma.
Both paradigms have now evolved to a point where they complement, and no longer oppose, one another. The theories of evolution, as first expounded by Darwin, have reconciled to the concept of "Intelligent, or Directive Design." The fossil record clearly shows a non-linearity as species evolve. Darwin suggests an upward slope in the evolution of species, while evidence at hand shows a "stair-step" pattern, as life forms become increasingly complex.
The proverbial question herein is begged, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Nature abhors a paradox, so the only answer can be, the chicken. A quantum shift in the modality of procreation occurred sufficiently quickly, and coincidentally, to maintain the species' viability during this shift of its methods of procreation, so radical, that it defies all comprehension.
I liken this to the process of metamorphosis, exhibited in many species of insects which start their life cycles as caterpillars, slugs, or other larvae, and upon reaching maturity, they pupate into a shell or chrysalis, and mutate in form. To accomplish such a feat, while maintaining the metabolic process necessary for life as the transformation occurs, is something I liken unto a Greyhound bus being driven into a service station, and an F-16 coming out, with no materials brought in from the outside. Waste can always be excreted, though apart from respiration and a nominal intake of water, a Monarch butterfly cocoon, reconstructs itself completely, into the adult butterfly.
Yes, it's far more complex than coming in with a bus and flying out a few weeks later in a state of the art jet fighter aircraft. Consider this:-- throughout this transformation process, the engine must be kept running at all times. From bus to F-16, if that engine shuts down for 90 seconds, it's game over:-- "quarter eaten, you lose." Cannibalizing parts from the bus to create a source of interim power is permissible. One may assume that this bus came in with a full tank of fuel. Other than that, reliable water supply, and fresh air from outside, nothing else is allowed to be brought into the refitting facility. There is no restriction on disposal of waste, though once any item has been discarded, it cannot be recovered. The re-fitter may keep unused materials on site, if so desired~~ though excessive "junk" can hinder the reconstruction process, get in the way, lead to mistakes, and/or cause injuries.
This is my 2 cents' worth. Susan:-- I'm sure you'll probably never read this email:-- if you do, I'll consider myself richly blessed with a response, even if only to say thank you for appreciating your beautiful gift to me on this, my 49th birthday, April 11, 2009.
Hugggs and kisses ==
God bless you.
