Soprano Jackie Evancho completed a Got Talent trifecta when she performed "Angel" as a special guest on Monday night's finale of Canada's Got Talent.

Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day! To all the moms who loved us and put up with us, talked us through our mistakes and cheered us on at our proudest moments, this day is for you. But there are a few mothers we loved who weren't our own—those on the other side of the television screen. When we weren't being hugged, fed, cheered on or yelled at by our own mothers, we were watching television mothers teach, love and yell at their television children. As kids, the shows were funny because we related to the kids. As adults, we still love those shows because we relate to the moms. So who was your favorite television mom? Take our poll or tell us in the comments! And call your mom today!

Jackie tweets her support of fellow classical crossover singer Katherine Jenkins, who is a contestant on DWTS.
It's not often that you see the performer applauding after her own performance, but that is what Jackie Evancho did tonight on ABC's Dancing With the Stars. Not once, but twice. Of course, she was not clapping for herself. First Jackie applauded the dance performance of William Levy and Cheryl Burke, who danced the Viennese waltz while Jackie sang "Ava Maria" for classical night. Later in the show, Jackie sang "Dark Waltz" during the pro dance performance with Tristan MacManus and Karina Smirnoff. Before the show, she tweeted a show of support for her fellow classical crossover artist Katherine Jenkins, who teamed up with dancer Mark Ballas to vie for the Mirrorball Trophy on DWTS. "Vote for Katherine Jenkins on dancing with the stars!" …
