Jackie Evancho Shares What It Was Like to Perform on AGT
Nearly 13 years after Evancho graced the AGT stage for the first time, she reacted to herself on the series. As she watched her performance, Evancho cringed at the sound of her younger self speaking. Although she cringed at her own voice, she was able to recall how she felt in the moment. She admits to the natural evolution of her voice and persona, vividly remembering the intense nervousness she felt just before singing.
“I was shaking like a leaf. I was so scared, but then I started singing, and everything went black,” she said. “Actually, I used to say I was possessed by the music.”
Despite her seen poise and confidence, Evancho revealed that her voice wasn’t as steady as it may have sounded. However, her self-doubt quickly dissipated when she reached a particularly challenging note.
“You can hear my voice shaking a lot. I was nervous,” she said. “I know when I hit that note, I, like, internally went like this, and I knew the rest of the performance, I was going to crush.”
Evancho’s journey on AGT was a rollercoaster of emotions, and her candidness about the vulnerability she felt during that time is palpable. Finishing in second place at such a young age on the biggest stage speaks volumes about the level of her talent.
