Jackie Evancho Just Getting Started Singing for Presidents (VIDEO)
Jackie Evancho had plenty of butterflies right before she sang the national anthem at Donald Trump’s inauguration, but walked away so pumped … she’s ready for several encores. We talked to Jackie moments after she NAILED “The Star…
Jackie Evancho Sings National Anthem: How Did She Do?
It happened this afternoon in Washington D.C.
After weeks of hype and speculation, Jackie Evancho performed the national anthem in front of thousands and thousands of spectators and millions of people watching at home.
She did so, of course, prior to Donald Trump being sworn in as President of the United States. (Oh, right, that also happened this afternoon in Washington D.C.)
A former runner-up on America"s Got Talent, Evancho has received some backlash for taking on this gig.
But she saw it as an opportunity to further her career and to honor her country, so it"s difficult to blame the 16-year old for making the decision.
So let"s forget any controversy surrounding Evancho taking to this worldwide stage and let"s focus on how she actually did instead.
The teenage remembered every lyric, which is more than we can say for many A-Listers who have sang this same famous song prior to the Super Bowl.

Jackie Evancho Album Sales Are Doing the Opposite of What Donald Trump Claims
As previously noted, Donald Trump has failed to attract any big names to perform at his Presidential inauguration on January 20.
He claims A-Listers want to appear at the event, but he’s been turning down their requests because they did “NOTHING” for Hillary Clinton are are not “real PEOPLE.”
Trump has managed to secure Jackie Evancho for the inauguration, however, giving a major platform to the former America’s Got Talent runner-up and significantly increasing the Google search frequency of the following question:
Who the heck is Jackie Evancho?!?
She’s someone who is on the rise, Trump claims.
She’s a singer with a bright future whose decision to make herself front and center for The Donald’s big day this month is paying off, Trump argues.
Bigly, he seems to think.
On Wednesday night, Trump once again focused on something very important via his Twitter account, touting Evancho’s impressive album sales ever since she announced her inauguration participation.
“Jackie Evancho’s album sales have skyrocketed after announcing her Inauguration performance,” the President-Elect wrote, adding:
“Some people just don’t understand the “Movement.”
We guess not.
But other people just don’t understand basic math.
Which could maybe be forgiven or ignored if one of these people was not going to become the 45th President of the United States in just a few weeks.
Because Jackie Evancho’s album sales have not skyrocketed. They’ve done the complete opposite of skyrocket.
They’ve plummeted. In bigly fashion.
To be specific, Evancho has fallen 41 spots on the Billboard 200 in just a week:
Now, we don’t mean to heap criticism on a 16-year old or to highlight her failure. Really, we don’t.
We can understand the bind she was in, unsure how to propel her career to the next level and figuring that a prominent spot at a Presidential inauguration was too tempting to pass up.
That’s fine. We get it.
And it’s far more disturbing to the safety of the United States when Trump is lying about Russian hacking and CIA intelligence briefings than when he’s lying about the success or failure of a particular artist.
But still.
Come on!
Is Trump unaware that Billboard and other outlets actually track album sales? That this was such a ridiculously blatant misleading of the public because it was so easy to fact-check?
We’ve spent far too long trying to get inside Donald Trump’s brain already here, haven’t we?
At this point, it should be clear that anyone trying to make sense out of anything Trump does is wasting is or her time.
As actual successful singer Bruce Springsteen recently said, we should be spending far more time being afraid of what Trump may do and take whatever steps we can to prevent it.
Call your Congressman. Attend a rally. Get out and vote in the mid-term elections next year.
Reporters, slam Trump as a liar every single time he lies.
And Jackie Evancho? Just keep your head down and sing your heart out.
We feel for you. But this is not going to help your career, no matter what Trump seems to believe.

Jackie Evancho Says What Backlash?? Donald Trump Made Me #1!

Jackie Evancho: Who is Donald Trump"s Inauguration Singer?
There are very few celebrities out there who support Donald Trump.
And there are even fewer celebrities out there in the music industry who support Donald Trump.
This is why the President-Elect has had trouble finding anyone on the A (or B… or C…) List to perform at his inauguration on January 20, 2017.
In the end, Trump"s team settled on Jackie Evancho to sing the national anthem at this historic event.
The decision has led to at least one widespread question around the Internet: WHO IS JACKIE EVANCHO?
Get to know her below…
1. She Rose to Fame on America’s Got Talent
At just 10 years old! Belting out opera songs, Jackie finished second in 2010.
2. She’s a Record-Setter
After coming in second on America’s Got Talent in 2010, she became the youngest solo artist to release a platinum-selling album with “O Holy Night.”
3. Since Her Run on AGT…
… Evancho has experimented with a number of genres. She has released multiple albums, including several Christmas collections and a record of film and showtune covers. She also released a pop single in April of 2016.
4. She Has Political Experience
Political SINGING experience, that is. In 2010, she sang at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree and got to meet President Obama. She also sang at the official D.C. Fourth of July celebration in 2016.
5. Her Sister is Transgender
At 18 years old, Juliet came out last year. She’s actually part of a lawsuit against a Pennsylvania school district over restroom access, attempting to overturn legislation that states students can only use the restroom that corresponds with their gender at birth.
6. She Has a Favorite Type of Movie
It’s a “love story,” Jackie once said. We’re guessing she’s a fan of The Notebook.
