- Amazing music... but a song is missing :(

So, I love Jackie's voice in every song she sings, and I would give this album 5 stars, however it loses a star... because her cover of Evanescence's My Immortal is missing. This is a bonus track only available in Japan. Seriously Sony and iTunes, give all of her fans a chance to buy her amazing performance of My Immortal!

- Awakening

This CD is terrible. I was very disappointed when I first listened to it. Its like they threw it together in one day to make a buck. I feel so ripped off , I paid $14.99 when this CD first came out. If you want some goos music, go buy something from Giorgia Fumanti or Hayley Westenra. They are much more professional sounding and have much better voices. I think Jackie s days are over. She was the flavor of the month when she competed on America's Got Talent, but I think her talent has ended and she has lost that nice voice she used to have.

- An Amazing Young Voice

Jackie has captured my heart from the moment I first saw her audition!! She is such a pure, wonderful young singer! My God bless us with many years of her voice!!!

- Memories

It's not often you see a Within Temptation cover.

- Mind = Blown

Ya know, I like classical music, and I like metal, too. When I saw the song title Memories, I never expected it to be a cover of Within Temptation's song. It sent chills down my spine. A classical cover by one of my favorite classical crossovers with one of my favorite metal bands? Outstanding. Beautiful. There's not enough to describe it. (Of course, the other songs are incredible too, but it was Memories that made me purchase this on an impulse).

- Jackie

Love her!!!💗💞💕💗💞💕💐

- Gift!

SO beautiful! What a gift she has been given and how beautifully she has developed it!

- Absolutely Beautiful

I have had the chance to listen to the whole album early. It is very light and airy. I found it very uplifting and relaxing at the same time. These renditions are absolutely amazing. If you are a fan of her previous work, this will not dissappoint. Jackie has blossomed into a beautiful young lady, with a voice to match.

- Brilliant

Vocals on par with angels!

- Her voice sounds like an angel

If she has a gift from God

- Awesome

YES, JUST plan o Yes , awesome , truly beautiful .

- Amazing Album

What an amazing album. Money well spent on this. Her voice has matured beautifully from her first apperance on AGT.

- Epic CD

This is definitely one of those CDs that you'll listen to more than once. Her lower register belies her age and her higher register is just beautiful. Of course her middle range is as great as ever. Didn't know that her range was that great. Still wondering how much better she'll be when she's 18, 21, 30.......Thinking about that can be baffling.

- 9/23 come quickly!!!

I've never really was a big fan of opera but listing to her last album "Songs from the Sliver Screen" I fell in love with this genre :) can't wait to listen to this album. Ms Evancho "Awakening" is gonna be another hit can't wait to listen to it :)

- Jackie pushes herself and rises to the test

This is demanding material for a mature voice, and yet Jackie puts herself to the test. Although sometimes we enjoy it, the test for a voice is not in loud "can belto" music, but in passages with sustained passages that expose one's bare naked voice, testing tone and pitch control. We can hear Jackie developing her voice here. This is still a girl's voice, but the woman is coming. Like Jackie, we must all be patient and wait for it. What an exciting and satisfying trip.

- Such a smooth voice

Her voice is just so wonderful to listen to!

- Absolutely stunning

A truly amazing album, each piece is brilliantly done in the style of Evancho, as someone who isn't a fan of the classical music, Jackie Evancho is the exception.

- What have they done with her?!

Jackie is an absolute miracle to me! But I am so SAD to say that her producers have created an insipid, unvaried album here! Please go back to the engaging classics of the earlier albums, where that unbelievable, passionate young lady does not get swallowed by a sea of lackluster orchestration and unsingable selections!

- A Beautiful Album

Words cannot express how excited I was when, having bought every single Jackie album I could since learning about her when we were both 11, I learned a new Jackie Evancho album was coming out. I bought Think of Me and The Rains of Castamere and pre-ordered the rest of the album. All of September 22, I waited in anticipation to hear the rest of the songs. My one worry was that I was putting Jackie on too much of a pedestal and that I would be disappointed in her new album because I had expected so much from it. But Jackie delivered! From Ave Maria to With Or Without You, Jackie is right on point throughout the entire album. She truly sounds flawless, and even the least invested listener can hear her vocal progression from a precocious ten-year-old to a much more mature-sounding young lady with a beautiful voice. I won't pretend to know much about vocal technique, but what I do know is that I love the sound of Jackie's voice, and I will continue to support her as her career progresses.

- Fantastic

This is the best album from her. Her angelic voice has matured and blossomed into something no one can ever replicate. She is a great pop-classical musician. Those who don't like it, she is only 14 with a voice of a 30 year old! This has been the best investment ever. She has blown my mind with her talent!!!!

- Surprised

I did not expect to see Je t'aime on this album! Hopefully, she will do more Lara Fabian songs in the future, when she's older. I suggest Broken Vow and Je suis malade!

- No

Boring..

- AMAZING!

So beautiful! Great job Jackie!!!

- LOVE IT & LOVE YOU

You were BRILLIANT Tonight on America Got talen☺️, I love your new song it gives me chills every single time I hear you single. Even tho I'm 15 I just want to cry when I hear such an amazing voice! Thank you Jackie, thankyou for your lovely personality and angelic singing. YOUR BEAUTIFUL !

- Angelic.

Jackie Evancho is my age yet her voice is far beyond her years. It's angelic and most vocalists in their 60's cannot hit some of the notes that she does. I sing as well, but it's nothing in comparison to what she can do.

- Love love love it

Totally in love with her voice, songs, and her beliefs Thanks

- LOOOOVE Jackie but the sound engineering is lacking

Many great songs, but WHY in the world they did with this? the sound of U2 was so bad. That was the FIRST song of Jackie I did not like….. please next time have a better producer…..:(

- Somewhat disappointing.

I used to love this girl’s voice. As a child, her tone, the quality of her voice, and her interpretation skills were outstanding for such a young girl! I feel like she hasn’t progressed at all, though. While her tonal quality is just as beautiful, her interpretation has almost become stale, and her phrasing has suffered. In addition, she doesn’t sound like she’s breathing quite properly… she inhales way too much, way too audibly. I guess I was expecting some maturity, and it’s just lacking too much for me. On top of that, the arrangements of these songs are hokey, and every song on the album sounds the same. :( Not What I was expecting from Miss Evancho. Maybe the next one will be better!

- Waste of money

Awful music. Ughhhh

- Excellent

this is absolutley delightful. Ms. Evancho does it again.

- Great voice...!!!

Amazing.....!

- A Triumph

She's no longer the little girl with the big voice. Now, she has proven herself as not a prodigy, but a full fledged artist. This album is filled with new sounds for Jackie Evancho. For instance, the very unique choice of "With or Without You" has turned out to be an inspired choice. Jackie's impeccable range is highlighted in "Your Love" which is enchanting. She has also kept the tradition of recording a song from "The Phantom of the Opera" alive with her rendition of "Think of Me". It's spellbinding. I'm sure on her next album, we might just find "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" among the song selections. But for me, the song that is the masterpiece of the album is "Je T'Amie." It's haunting and her vocals knock the song out of the park and for me, it is my favorite recording from her so far. If this album is any sign of what's to come, I believe Jackie Evancho may just be around for quite a long time.

- Jackie’s voice keeps getting better

Her take on The Rains of Castamere was best ever.

- Jackie's voice is stunningly beautiful

For those that can't appreciate good music when they hear it. Jackie is trying out new material that specifically speaks to her, as she gets older, we remember jackie from AGT. She's growing up, and so is her operatic voice, still as breath takingly beautiful since day one, always will be. Love you jackie, keep living the dream!!! Oxoxo

- Awakening

Jackie's best yet.

- Pure

Listening to Jackie is like pure heaven!

- I'm missing two songs.

I'm missing two songs from my album. I tried downloading them from the cloud, but it will download two other songs over again.

- The dream continues...

I am looking forward to hearing another great album by the incomparable Ms. Evancho. Her timeless voice and music will transcend for generations to come.

- The Best Classical Music CD of 2014!

I appreciate classical music when it is done at the highest quality. This CD is simply wonderful! For the songs I know well, Jackie performs them better than anyone else-she conveys so much emotion in her vocal tones like no other. Your Love and Dormi Jesu are characteristic of this young ladies range from deep rich lows to soaring highs. Rains of Castamere is absolutely haunting just like is should be. With Or Without You and Made to Dream show how this young lady is just as comfortable and capable of singing Pop as she is classical. Wonderful growth and development since her last amazing CD.

- beautiful

Simply one of the most beautiful voices in music. Another CD full of goosebump inducing vocals that I have come to expect from this young lady. Glad to see that her range is still expanding and becoming more full and powerful in both upper and lower registers. A real audial pleasure and one of the few that actually does not use nor does she need auto-tune.

- Real Talent and Real Class

Was really happy to find Jackie's gorgeous version of my all-time favorite movie theme song, "Your Love" (from "Once Upon A Time in the West")! I love all kinds of music, and this album is in my collection. I remember her from "America's Got Talent." Go Jackie!!!

- Bridge over troubled water/dark waltz

She really has a great voice and hoping that this two songs would be included in her future album..

- Amazing!

I became a fan of Jackie's music without really being a fan of classical music but Jackie's voice is so amazing that she made me appreciate this genre of music more! I was not disappointed with this album! I love all of Jackie's albums..they just keep on getting better and better. She truly has a gift from God!

- beautiful voice needs better song choices

I've been a fan since AGT, and I still think she has an amazing voice with a charming personality and story. That being said, this album is drowned in melodramatic, uniform song choices. I think with her age and fanbase she has the opportunity to stretch and do something different than yet another cover of "Ave Maria" and stay away from productions with laborious orchestration and slow pacing.

- Trumpet of God!!!

Love her! Gods Gift! Wow. Amazed !!! Her experience is so beyond anything of this earth. I weep, because of His gift to us! JE thank you. PS see on feb. 7th... Can't wait.

- Perfection Personified

ackie has given such joy and enlightenment to millions of people around the world with her voice. The clarity, control, and absolute beauty of Jackie’s interpretations of “Dormi Jesu”, “Ave Maria”, and “Vocalise” on her new “Awakening” release are more than worthy of praise for anyone who appreciates classical music. This young girl has improved on her already incredible talent. “Awakening” is going to create all new superlatives. Right now there are just no words that can adequately describe just how amazingly beautiful every single song is.

- Absolutely Beautiful

This is simply angelic listening to Jackie sing. This CD was one of her best singing performances yet. I swear she puts you in another place when she sings. A place where angles dance in trees and sunbeams. This is where Jackie shines the best, this is her genre. Anyone else can sign the easy pop songs, so let them, Jackie doesn't need to and she's getting better every year if you could imagine that.

- I think so

This young lady has not disappointed me yet, so my pre-order is in. She takes me and the world to a better place with her vocal talents and for that I am forever grateful.

- Uplifting and Beautiful

I stumbled onto her song while in the new category section. She has truely a unique beautiful voice. I look forward to hearing much more. Her voice is a Gift from God.

- Absolutely lovely!

I would give it a 100 stars if I could! 😊

- frustrated with iTunes

Bought my Album Awakening from iTunes Store with my iPhone but i can’t play or download it with my iMac. Still shows i bought it but nowhere to download or play it. Very very frustrated. If the store want me to buy AGAIN on my iMac so why can’t they let me because i guess thats the whole point. Maybe i should only buy from Shops. nomore from iTunes

- Brilliant!

To me Jackie has the most exciting voice in the world. Tingles from head to toe. Great to have a CD with many songs I have not heard before.

- JesusLover33

When I am depressed, an injection of Jackie Evancho’s heavenly voice brings me peace. It’s as if a sweet young angel has come down from Heaven to lull me into a refreshing peace. Thank God for Jackie. May the joy of her voice spread throughout the world as long as she lives.
