The dark side of child stardom: (24 january 2019) |
Jackie Evancho was 10 years old when the world first heard her incredible voice on season 5 of 'America's Got Talent', delivering performances that judge Howie Mandel labeled 'too good to be true'. Eight years later, Jackie is ready to speak out about the ugly side of child stardom that usually remains hidden from the public. Read Jackie Evancho's full statement below from her facebook page from the 23'th of february 2019: TO NEW BEGINNINGS... With the onset of a New Year and me entering adulthood as a 18 year old moving to New York, I felt the need to put this out into the universe as a way of continuing the healing process I'm on.I no longer have the fear to stay silent. People often still think of me as a child star, and that isn't easy to shake off. I just performed on NBC's AGT's The Champions and it allowed me to reflect on my journey - the reason I wanted to do the show was to walk onto that stage as a young woman and show the world I am no longer a child. |
I'm now 18 and responsible for my own life - a young adult. I now live in New York where I can focus more on work and also live in a creative environment - I want to learn and grow. I like making my own decisions, and while listening to the people close to me, I'm ultimately steering my own ship. My love for music is profound - it's what drives me and transforms me. I've learned and been through so much, but this is my journey and I look forward to a bright future for the next phase of my life. |
