Richland Township resident Jackie Evancho, 10, has advanced to the semifinals on NBC's "America's Got Talent." Four contestants, chosen by YouTube to compete this week, made the cut.

Jackie became an overnight web sensation by singing Puccini's aria, "O Mio Babbino Caro" Tuesday night, and Wednesday night's program revealed the call-in vote winners.

Her next appearance on the live television broadcast will be either August 24 or 31.
