well, technically she wasn't singing "with" Barbara Streisand. Barbara wasn't actually there, so she was singing with a "recording" of Barbara Streisand...

However, she is fantastic by any standard!

It was done live with Barbara in another location I've been told Phoon.

If there is anyone who can match the superb voices of Barbara Streisand and Sarah Brightman, it is definitely Jackie Evancho. Amira Willighagen is also an excellent singer. :)

It is noteworthy that this girl has not undergone training. She has listened to arias on YouTube, they have pleased her and she sang it, just like that. Look at her face as she sings, in her lives the music as it was with Maria Callas. It's a kind of magic.

Not in that video! Barbara is 71 years old. That video is a much younger version of her.

Hmmm, OK, guess I was told wrong then.  Still beautifully done and fantastic singing though!

Ditto!!!!  Like WOW,  these girls have the most amazing voices and evoke tears because they not only sing but truly feel the song. They give the music meaning because it comes from the heart

Those voices come from a very special place and they're an absolute joy to listen to.  May these girls go on to fulfill their dreams and even eclipse those greats who have come before them.

Thanks for sharing, Seth. :)
