Spending more time with Jackie and Mike as this interview gives helps us to see them as a person and family better. They are just like we, but uniquely different. Their sense of family is especially pleasurable to hear and watch.

Without a doubt one of the best interviews with Jackie Evancho that I've seen so far. Her father sitting beside her and their interaction just shows what a loving family is all about. No one should compare her future to the other young stars of the past who had to put up with parents living there lives through the talent of there children.
The whole Evancho family is truly an American dream.
