Will Jackie Evancho Bring Another Title to the City of Champions?



I know this is outside of the sports genre, but the Pittsburgher in you should be pulling for 10-year-old  singer Jackie Evancho of Richland Township, as she is one of four finalists with a shot to win the "America's Got Talent" finale tonight on NBC

The winner will receive $1 million and headline the "America's Got Talent" Live Tour, which stops in 25 cities throughout the United States. Evancho is the odds-on-favorite to win, at least according to WPXI, which is in Los Angeles covering the event. The finale airs tonight on NBC from 8-10 p.m.

And as for that sports angle, I was wrong. We do have one: Jackie sang the national anthem at PNC Park at the 2010 Pirates home opener, which might turn out to be the best performance at the stadium the entire season - and certainly the smartest move made by the Pirates.

Yeah yeah, more talk from Pittsburgh about how someone is the favorite, only to make excuses if things go wrong. Know who this reminds me of? The JETS, that's who! You people talking about her on The Fan will be sorry.......
