I admit, “traumatic stress” is too much of licencia poetica. But still: being 10 years old, live on national TV, all alone in font of thousands of people requesting a miracle, in cold, in spotlight: it’s hard to imagine higher stress levels. That’s a good experience for her; what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Thanks for taking me down from my cloud.

Also, she couldnt hear herself from what her Mother wrote with all the crowd noise when she sung that high note.

@Velo222able According to Jackie’s mom, Jackie couldn’t hear herself over the crowd and started in the wrong key.
During rehearsal the day before, she sang in the key of G and had no problem hitting the high note.
Before the game she started in the key of A which over extended her range.
She said she wasn’t sure if Jackie was going to do the high note, but I guess she decided to ‘go for it’ anyway.

Still, all in all, I think it was a great performance considering the conditions.

Does anyone know how you vote on the up comming, “People’s Choice Awards”?
If she doesn’t deserve it, no one does. She is one in a million!

@bighforu I agree with what everyone who responded to my comment is saying. The only thing I’ll add is that I think Jackie would be a great choice to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl as well, but it’s probably already booked, unfortunately.

A clear respectful traditional beautiful way to sing our national anthem presented by one of the torch bearers of music revival in America.
