In 2009, Evancho independently released her debut album, "Prelude to a Dream". The album was released with just 4,000 printings. Because of digital success following her appearance on the fifth season of America's Got Talent, the album charted in the 121st position of the Billboard 200 albums, and the 2nd position of the Billboard Classical albums chart. Following a whirlwind of media coverage after her second place finish on the show, Evancho released her debut holiday EP, "O Holy Night", in November 2010. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 albums, and number one on the Billboard Classical albums, and later achieved Platinum status. Evancho is the youngest solo artist ever to go Platinum in the U.S.
In June 2011, Evancho's debut studio album, "Dream With Me", was released, and charted at number two on the Billboard 200 albums, and number one of the Billboard Classical albums. The album would later achieve "Gold" status, and sell in excess of 500,000 copies.
In late 2011, Evancho's sophomore album, "Heavenly Christmas", was released exclusively through American retailer Walmart. The album debuted at number one on the Classical album chart, becoming her fourth consecutive work to do so. It also debuted in the top 20 of the Billboard 200 albums.
Somewhere
Jackie Evancho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
There's a time for us
Someday, a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere

As an AESTHETE, I have been following this teenage singing SENSATION Jackie Evancho, for a few years now, after she was revealed to the world in AGT. And everywhere I go, and in every video, she has received so many accolades, so much so that it is hard to add to a comment that has not yet been said.
So I will take a niche, and COMPLIMENT Jackie for always wearing clothes over the years, that have CONSISTENTLY BEEN ELEGANT and SUPER TASTEFUL.
This only affirms that Miss Evancho is such an all-around lover of beauty, and shares this love with the rest of the world.
From her effortless and FLAWLESS singing, her natural facial beauty, to her sartorial proclivities, Jacqueline Evancho has always treated her audiences with EXQUISITE AESTHETIC EXPERIENCES. For all these and more, I thank you, dearest Jackie.
God bless you more. But please remain the wonderful and humble person that you have always been. God bless us all.

I still get the chills when I hear this version. Your duet with Barbra is nothing short of unforgettable!!
@pinkydogbear
Great

❤SHEER PERFECTION! Please don't take this as a criticism, but I only wish I could understand your words more clearly! I think it's just a thing with pretty much all opera singers on high notes!
But this was clearly a GOOSEBUMPS rendition!
I think you just took over my #1 spot as my favorite singer, knocking out both Barbra S. & Celine Dion!
What a Special Gift from God!💝 Thank you for all your hard work & dedication to get you to where you are with your angelic voice❣
Seems to me I saw you on some talent show some years back...maybe America's Got Talent? You blew me away then too!
Again, A million times Thank You for sharing your very special voice with the world! You are truly a privilege to listen to & watch...such poise!

Yes- Claudine Gay of Harvard has been in the news lately, hasn't she? Glad she was forced out! It took way too long for these anti-semites who think genocide is all about "context" to be shown as the bigots they are.
