You’ve probably seen this video by now.  Ten year old Jackie Evancho is taking America by storm with the voice of an angel floating from the mouth of a child. What is refreshing about Ms. Evancho is that she looks like a kid.  She acts like a kid. But she sings with the pure voice of one beyond her years.

As in interesting contrast, watch the video below of Christina Aguilera at the tender age of eight. Ms. Aguilera’s persona isn’t childlike or innocent.

Let us hope Jackie Evancho’s parents can shield her from the pitfalls of American celebrity.
