Great voice but IIRC she was only runner-up in AGT last year.

Yes I think she was a runner up, came 2nd

Just had to Wiki her age, 11

This little girl has had her childhood stolen by Cowell. She should be playing with crayons at her age not this. I feel so saddened for her.

nicely mimed

Yeah, fab voice though.

creepy

As much as I love to hate Cowell, you can't blame that on him Blame it on the parents if you must blame someone.

In places it looked like she was.

How can an 11 year old have a voice like that.

Bet you couldn't mind her money though. I certainly wouldn't. Hey money makes the world go round, not paints and crayons unfortunately.

Well the pushy parents are also to blame.

Charlotte Church was only about 12 when she first appeared on TV. Similar but not as good as that

A kid with a voice like that is very rare but not unheard of

Was she actually singing that ?

Did I spell her surname wrong, as another thread has it very differently?

I've never heard of this little girl, but it was a weird experience seeing a child opening her mouth and that mature woman's voice coming out.

You might think so. And I guess when all said and done parents can say to their children "No, you are not entering a talent competition", but had my parents said that to me when all I wanted to do was act and be on stage I would have been extremley unhappy.

And at what point does a parent step in a say "No more"? Can a child be in a musical such as The King and I? What happens then if there are 100's of people saying "Wow, that little girl in The King and I is an amazing singer"...should a parent say "Well yes she is but we wont let her sing anymore because she ought to be playing with lego".

It really isnt as simple as you might think.

She was great, wish she could win tonight!

Both threads are wrong. It's Jackie Evancho.

it sounded like she was miming (extremely well) to a womans voice

Is it me being paranoid or does she look like Ronan's sister.?

She certainly put our lot to shame...... She is a real STAR

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure she'd find your sentiments incredibly patronising.

i thought if that was her real voice, what will she be like in ten years time...broken voice maybe.... or very rich and successful
but i also thought that can not be her own voice, she too looked as though she was miming , her talking voice was an normal 11 years old..

Girls' voices don't break, they just mature.
