America’s Susan Boyle?
“Britain’s Got Talent” turned Paul Potts and Susan Boyle into concert attractions. Last night, America got its equivalent – Jackie Evancho.
Evancho, 10 years old, has reportedly become the most-searched person on Google within 24 hours of her performance of “O Mio Babbion Caro” from Puccini;’s 1918 opera “Gianni Schicci.”
Her stirring performance caused a standing ovation and gushing praise from judges Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel and Piers Morgan, with the latter exclaiming “We’re gonna wake up tomorrow and America is going to be going crazy over a little girl who just sang like an angel.”
Evancho is already booked for Carnegie Hall Dec. 2. The video had 11,000 views by 9:30 a.m PST.
