Video - Jackie Evancho Appears on ABC’s 20/20 Super Human Segment

Last night, ABC’s 20/20 aired a segment during their Friday night show called “Super Humans Super Powers”.

Usually, super human powers are associated with brute force and amazing physical accomplishments, but the one person we were all waiting to see was 11-year-old crossover singer Jackie Evancho.

Hailed as the girl wonder – the little girl with the big voice, Jackie Evancho spoke about her amazing rise to stardom and her passion for singing.

And yes, you can see her passion – and so can everyone else. In fact, Evancho is already getting Grammy nodes for the 2012 Awards season.

And her popularity with her fans can clearly be seen in her current album sales.

During her 20/20 interview, Jackie talked about her family life and what it feels like to be up on the stage. She talks about her life when not performing and her thoughts on why she can do what she does so well.

Doctors believe her lungs and vocal chords are just like any other 11-year-old, but what makes Evancho different is her brain.

We agree.

Jackie was first discovered on the popular American television show “America’s Got Talent” two years ago, and even though she came in second place the world had seen an early glimpse of what Jackie would become.

Her debut album “Dream with me” is on track for gold and platinum status, and she has already worked with both Susan Boyle and Barbara Streisand on duets.

Her rendition of Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel” has become one of her signature songs and we suspect we have just heard, and seen, the beginning of young Jackie’s potential.

Teaming with Grammy winner David Foster has been a tremendous success for Evancho as he seems to be able to pull out her talent while at the same time remembering she is just a young girl.

We look forward to hearing more of this amazing young artist and wish her and her family the best of success.

And Jackie – we’ll see you at the Grammy’s

All My Children and One Life To Live Cancelled by ABC

An end of an era is upon us.

When I was growing up I would come home from school and “All My Children” would be on the television.

I was not into music yet, but I could recognize that theme song from anywhere in the house.

Today, ABC announced that two of its longest running soap operas, “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” are coming to an end after almost 43 years of production.

“One Life To Live” started in 1968 and addressed many of the country’s social and economic issues, and it quickly became a hit with the “house wives” of the time and gave ABC the incentive to try their hand at another serial.

“All My Children” first aired in 1970. Like “One Life To Live”, “All My Children” focused on many of the country’s current and controversial issues. But instead of focusing on the lifestyles of the rich and famous, the show addressed social issues such as homosexuality, AIDS and abortion.

With almost 11,000 episodes each, the shows were famous for jump-starting the careers of many of Hollywood’s now famous people like;

Laurence Fishburne, Tommy Lee Jones, Hayden Panettiere, Ryan Phillippe, Brandon Routh, Blair Underwood, Tom Berenger, Mischa Barton, Kim Delaney, Josh Duhamel, Jesse McCartney, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lauren Holly, Christian Slater, Michelle Trachtenberg and Amanda Seyfried.

The trend over the last few years has been to move away from scripted daytime drama to a more comfortable daytime talk show format – think “Ellen” and “Oprah”.

The passing of the torch is complete and the daytime industry is now in the hands of our children.

Kids, you better not screw this up.
