I recently became a fan of Jackie (first it was her looks on the cover of her latest album, THEN her voice. Funny how that works, eh?
) and I decided for "the lulz" to type in her website to the WayBack machine, a digital history of the internet project if you would.
I eventually went through the links of a version of Jackie's site (mostly text and missing images that were not archived) and found her old youtube channel. None of the videos worked anymore, and I haven't done more digging, but I took this snapshot of some of the bio information that I thought was interesting.
The image is a full sized screen grab and it clearly states Hayley Westenra and Celtic Woman as a couple of her influences.
Also, if you type in the url
http://www.youtube.com/user/usedmeb4 from back in 2010 into your address bar, it redirects to Jackie's official youtube channel, confirming it's the same account renamed.
It's great yet weird that one of the greatest youngest singers on our planet was influenced by a group that we all know and love dearly.
