I've been a hard bastard all my life, I'm75yrs old and no one, has been able to bring me to my knees. Listening to this young lady though, she has me on my knees and crying like a baby.
Nine years later on her 18th birthday I have just come back from SA after watching her concert titled ON MY OWN her coming of age concert.All Amira her range and different styles and her voice is now fantastic it was a pleasure too help celebrate her birthday.
Amazing reaction, guys! Yeah. Amira has a superior operatic voice. She is a soprano, the highest vocal range category among classical singers. And she is the best young soprano in the world to date. Even among sopranos, only a small number manage at any time in their careers to sing with a full orchestra and choir for a large audience. Amira achieved this already at the age of 10. The video of Amira's first audition immediately reached tens of millions of views and she was featured on TVs all over the world. At the age of 10, Amira set up her foundation to build playgrounds in poor schools in South Africa. She donates half of everything she earns to the works of her foundation, starting with the prize she received on this show. At Christmas 2014, at the age of 10, Amira went to Vatican City to receive the title of Humanitarian of the Year. She has a golden voice and a golden heart. And she is just beginning.
hallo segnior chavez - are you sure age 10 when she startet gluckskinders? i thought it was march 2014 shortly before her birthday - but 9 or 10y dont Matter - in Short the Story behind that - at Tender age of 7 or 8 her family visited her Granny in South Africa - Vincent and she want to go playing outside and asked some kids where there may be the next playground - the children dont know what a playground is and there was no place there - as in Holland be playgrounds in every villiage it was hard for both of them to understand why there where no in South Africa this Situation was in her mind when she started her Projekt with the money of HGT - best wishes from Germany
@@jojow.2158 I'm sure. On March 5, 2014, Amira opened the first playground in Ikageng, a township near Potchefstroom. To formalize development and maintenance of playgrounds, her Gelukskinders Foundation was established on November 1, 2014. Thanks.
Great reaction guys - I have had the privilege of experiencing Amira singing Nessum Dorma from about 2 metres from where she was standing - probably a life changing experience - really appreciate your time in promoting Amira...
I remembered the shock I felt when I first watched Amira 😳😳 As soon as 9-year-old Amira started singing, I cried 😭😭 9-year-old Amira's pure and beautiful singing voice is out of this world. It was such a wonderful singing voice🎼🎤😊🙌
Hi Brit Pops,oh…🙀I just adore Amira and those first three songs from Holland got talent🙏🙏🙏This is the third time I am listen to it from and with you two,your reactions of it is amazing…adorable and I just love it🙏It will not be the last time,that’s for sure👍You are so amazing and relaxing at the same time😊More from Angelina and Amira please🙏 Stay safe,take care….love frome Norway🇳🇴
Hi there, she looks so tiny. Such a massive voice for such a beautiful child. I feel there are children who are just born to be stars. Just like AJ, she has a voice decades older than she is. A beautiful special upload and a wonderful reaction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My life was changed by Amira. Her singing is something else. I watched her progress each year, just amazing. Don't jump ahead, take each year at a time, and enjoy her journey. I listen to her every day. It is never enough. I enjoyed your excitement in listening to her.
I do so agree with you,my life changed too,and I have been following her all these years😍what an amazing girl and now teenager,also with a beautiful soul,I pray for her🙏 Stay safe,take care…love from Norway🇳🇴
@Lynn Soeth Hello Lynn, we enjoyed that too and that was a big surprise for us two. We are not really in to Opera, but we really enjoyed that. Thanks for watching
I often listen to Amira in my car, I have bought her CD, I love her, and now she is a lovely young lady with a big talent and a big heart ! Great reaction ! Salutations de France !
Thank you both so much fun listning to you both and how you both loved her! Such fun listning to all your comments! She is my favorite singer and love listning and watching grow up and her talent and her sweet spirit. I am looking forward to watching you both listning and watching her grow and mature in her singing. You can see and hear how she loves to sing and her gentle spirit. I have enjoyed watching and hearing your comments. Thank you
There are female singers all over the world who are good at singing, but even among them, Amira is not a singer created by humans. People are fascinated and get goosebumps and shed tears. Amira is special.
Well done guys. When you realize that opera is a much more challenging type of singing and to see a nine year old sing in this style, it is so amazing. Something else, here you see the beginning of the Amira wave. Where she is waving to her friends and family there to support her. Today she has continued due to encouragement from her newly formed fan base. So now she is waving to us, her fans. So endearing.
Amira's not only an old soul as one from the jury said, but she's a beautiful soul as well, caring for the needs of others through her charity "Gelukskinders Foundation". And musically, there's so much to discover here. I concur with those who've mentioned her rendition of "Amazing Grace". Great & truly heartfelt reaction fellows, wonderful to see. Cheers from Amsterdam
fun seeing these again... A gift she has... and a gift to all of us hearing it now... ...and she is a distance runner... in fact I did a progression of her times and found that she could be an elite runner in her high school years... at the point of HGT same year SHE had won age group race tho it seems she had to give it up... nice reaction... fun to watch
This is what the term "child prodigy" means! To clarify a bit of history for you, Amira was self-taught only up to her first audition, which occurred on August 31, 2013. It was not broadcast until October 2013. Andre Rieu watched the broadcast, and invited her to meet him in Maastricht, for a "Master Class", however her Grandmother (in South Africa) died unexpectedly, and Amira went to South Africa to attend the funeral. So the master class with Andre Rieu was in London on 7 December 2013 (i.e. before the semi-finals). Andre taught her not to breathe in the middle of a phrase, and also how to extend her high notes - when you get to her performance with him in July 2014, you will see how Andre allowed Amira to set the tempo, and how he held the orchestra for her high notes. The semi finals and finals were in the last week of December, and Amira won a cross-country foot race a week later in Holland (she had also won it the year before). Immediately after her victory at HGT, she got a singing coach, Maike van der Wiele, and her first recording contract with SONY, and started preparing to record her first album; she received the first Cd on her 10th birthday. So by the time she performed with Andre in July, she had had quite a bit of coaching - and it shows in that performance.
A very good morning to you dudes . UNBELIVEBLE OUT OF THIS WORLD Amira is one of my TRIPLE AAA ARTISTS. The other two are the STUNNING Angelina Jordan and the ONE OF A KIND Alma Deutcher. I know there are many more really cool talents World wide. But for me , Amira, Angelina and Alma are the Cherry,s on the cake, all 3 in their own field. For your next reaction my advice is react to Amira,s O Mio Babino Caro version together with André Rieu and his AMAZING orchestra at the Vrijthof in Maastricht in 2014. It,s a HUGE BEAUTIFUL EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE. Little Amira ,10 years Young in front of 13.000 people. It,s a BANGER. Have fun ,and thanks for your awesome reactions.
I sometimes go to see operas, jazz concerts, and pop star concerts in many countries, but I don't find many vocalists who can do such beautiful vibrato. Amira is pure, powerful and amazing!
Incredibly Moving! Amira's talent is astounding and thankyou for showing her three songs from Hollands Got Talent. Can't wait to see what you choose next....you can't be disappointed with anything she sings I'm sure
I find it both cute and amazing that while she sings, in a wonderful adult-like voice, as soon as the music stops, she reverts to a child again, with that sweet wave to the crowd. Her parents must be bursting with pride.
Amira is not only a great soprano with an unparalleled and wonderful voice and character. Amira is a heartfelt soul messenger. Great All HGT performances from Amira.
Amira is the best female singer I have ever met and is a woman of great natural talent and kindness. Amira sings like an angel and the moment listening to Amira's pure and beautiful voice is blissful and eternal. from Japan.
9-year-old Amira's singing voice is exactly the voice of an angel 👼 What a beautiful Amira ❣ Her singing voice is also pure and beautiful ❣ I got goosebumps and tears naturally came out! Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful song❣ Thank you Amira!! 😃🙌
her comment about her future and maybe going to the olympics stems from her activities prior to HGT. She often won mini marathons from the age of seven and beating opponents older than her. Likely where she got the breath bit of holding on to those high notes and the ability to reach them.
About those races: www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Amira+seven+hills+run+English+subtitles#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:387c7fc1,vid:f3p8OsQFp_k,st:0
On a later occasion she sings in Swedish, it sounds like very ok, I cannot make out every word, but we have a bundle of dialects. I think it is called Gabriella´s song. So, she can even speak or mimic Swedish. When I was 9 I used to catch flies in an empty matchbox, put them in the freezer, and 30 minutes later I took it out and the flies lay there, with all six legs in the air, after a while they thaw and flew merrily away, I guess I will be reborn as a fly in a coming life. It was my degree of development......I get tears in my eyes when I see this. Hope all the best for her.
Great reaction. Amira gob smacks everyone who hears her. She had a cold / chest infection before the semi finals, so she only had minimal rehearsal time for that appearance. Her Andre Rieu performance is something else, I do recommend you watch that, as Andre coached her and helped polish her delivery. You might need a box of tissues handy, it is very moving! One performance that I do find stunning is a different Ave Maria ( the Ave Maria Gomez) which she sang in the Canisius church in holland, in 2015, age 11. ( she sang about 5 songs at that Christmas show - but the A.V. Gomez is the jaw dropper) Her effortless vocal skills are apparent there. The voice warble is called Vibrato. Amira learned to do it by copying Andrew Bocelli on you tube, but she is a natural. Like you I'm not an opera fan, though I like some classical pieces, Amira is like a siren luring me into uncharted waters with her quality singing. I'm enjoying the journey.
When i was young i wouldn't listen to opera, but my father, who was a singer an a choir said to me, wait until you get older. Then i laughed, but now i am just as stunned as you guys are and i can appreciate opera and this girl teared me up
Over 20 playgrounds now plus sports equipment for older children and organised a netball tournament for schools providing the facilities and sports gear to the schools first.
Amira singing AMAZING GRACE "IS" the best version of that song ever done. Even a little bagpipes to boot. BTW Paul Potts singing at a German mall live is pretty impressive as well.
This little girl has the best voice on the planet. Obviously I'm not the only one who believes it. Angel sent to bring peace of mind in a world of evil. Beautiful and kind. Great example.
I was happy to see you react to her appearances on Holland's Got Talent after starting a little later in her career. I found the judges reactions to her first appearance to be quite entertaining as well. There seems to be a number of singers around the age of twenty who started amazing us at a young age and are still approaching their prime. We have so much to look forward to!
Thank you so much for this great reaction on my favourite singer! I just want to add a little information: The first audition was recorded in August 2013 and broadcast only in October. Since she got the golden ticket, which equates to the golden buzzer at BGT or AGT, she directly went through to the semi finals. Both the semi finals and the final were broadcast live in December 2013. Just a week before the semi-finals, Amira had a bad cold with fever and a sore throat and was therefore unable to attend rehearsals. Of course you can hear that she wasn't completely healthy again when she performed the "Ave Maria". All the more impressive that she was still able to convince the audience and ultimately won the final with more than 50% of the audience votes!
Ave Maria is prayer in song form. It is the Hail Mary. Amira knows that and you see her praying as she sings. Their is the emotions. Keep in mind on Nessun Dorma. After singing she finds out she wins. The confetti comes down and emotions high. Then they asked her to sing it again in closing. She sings it even better. It is also on you tube. listed Nessun Dorma 2nd time. Love your reaction from California USA
Metal and opera are not too terribly far apart in a lot of ways. The 9 year old little girl brought tears to my eyes, her God given ability and that angelic voice! Look at her eyes, something goes into her, OR something that's always there comes out of her. she is AMAZING. Chuey is drooling, rolling around, mesmerized by that voice.
I do feel the golden ticket is a far better recognition for exceptional presentation, what a prize item as a souvenir of achievement that you can keep to remind of something really good. you can't keep a buzzer can you?
Amira remarked in an interview that the audition felt like a dream, but when she woke up next morning, the golden ticket was on the table beside the bed. It's something tangible.
You are now in her spell. I never listened to opera either but this is another world. FYI. Amira sang with Paul Potts. And many many other elite singers. Always part of big productions. She is extremely intelligent and articulate. She has also done the song you mentioned that Freddie mercury did - Barcelona. She covers monteressates part perfectly
part from her amazing voice... she is 9 yearas old and singing in languages that isnøt her native language, without having the text in fron of her even! That too is incredible, for a 9 year old.
Outstanding reaction. The next step should be Andre Rieu performance at age 10.This performance has 66 million views 5th most of Andre Rieu. During the performance many people were in tears. At the conclusion every single person in attendance gave Amira a standing ovation, extraordinary. Attendance between 13000 to 15000.
Great job guys. I like your both reactions very much. Nice that you both are interested to follow Amira her progression. I can't almost wait to see the next reactions about her.
@@BritPopsReact , please react to Amira's rendition of "Your Love" and her medley of songs from "The Sound of Music"! Thank you! Great reactions from both of you!
I love you guys ❣ and Im sooo happy that you tryed this kind of music, AMIRA is my ANGEL, I felt in love to her since the 1st time she performed in HGT, I couldnt stop crying for the Emotion to hear this Angelical Voice, just Mesmerized me and Captivated, since then I been her FAN and 4ever gonna be by far the number one Opera Singer Ever, I had heard many Opera singers but Nobody like She, Not even Maria Callas, AMIRA has the Magic to transport you to other Place, Planet or Dimention..... Thank you guys, Love you ❣
Great reaction for a great talent. I have to admit. Watched your first Amira "Your love" reaction over and over again. Because of the beautiful performance of Amira, orchestra and choir of course, but also BP1's face full of unbelieve and estonishment, the nice comments of BP1 and BP2 in general and BP2's remark about the debut album. Funny and entertaining. Her performance with Andre Rieu was also impressive. And that all said by a Nightwish and Floor fan. Music does a lot.
stumbled across this reaction of you guys to Amira: Top notch reaction to a top notch performance gents, totally lovely. And totally with you with the emotions, it gets me too each time I listen to these performances by this little star.
Has anyone else noticed we have a lot of once in a century child singers lately? So many children will huge talents in the arts. Make you wonder if a shift in society is coming. Great reaction. Blessings.
I really have to compliment you two blokes. I love your approach to exploring a new, to you, talent that has a developmental history. Start from the beginning and watch the growth of a young talent. I think her first real paying gig was with Rieu in front of somewhere around 12,000 to 15,000 people. Not bad for your first shot, huh? Well done mates!
@dr P Hello to you and thank you for the nice comment. We enjoyed watching that from the where it all started and will be back with more from Amira soon. We really enjoyed that. Thanks for watching
Two dreams ... "Got the first one nailed" ( is also the Dutch National Champion middle distant runner ) and the second one almost nailed !! I commend you both for being willing to "go back to the beginning", as most reactors seem to be more interested in "what they're doing now." Loved the video ... nice job !!
I'm so glad you have discovered her, and love your reactions. We, her fans from day one, take such pride in seeing how others react to her, which is a bit of a contradiction as you guys are making money off her, but we love watching your faces, the expletives LOL and the way she hooks everyone in. Her latest interview in Afrikaans was interesting: she is aiming for nine distinctions in her school leaving exams ( the norm is six) and next year, 2023, she will be doing a world tour. So look out for her live performances.
Just a note. Amira moved to South Africa in 2018 and is a South African citizen since 2022. She is finishing school this year and plans to study music and drama at university.
Es wäre schön, wenn Ihr wieder etwas von Amira bringen könntet. Ihr habt das toll zusammengefasst. Ich sehe und höre Euch beide sehr gerne. Wunderbar gemacht.👍💖💗🥰
WHAT AN AWESOME REACTION - THE NEXT ONE OF AMIRA MUST BE AMIRA BEING SHOW CASED BY ANDRE RIEU OF HOLLAND IN MAASTRICHT WHERE THEY PERFORM IN FRONT OF A MASSIVE CROWD - THIS WILL PROBABLY GO DOWN IN HISTORY, AS ONE OF THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCES EVER - IT ALSO SHOWS HER ENORMOUS CONFIDENCE - I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH CONFIDENCE and SUCH EFFORTLESS PERFORMANCES !! THANKS FOR GOING ON YOUR AMIRA JOURNEY, YOUR FOLLOWERS WILL MORE THAN ENJOY HER PERFORM ANCES !! REGARDS FROM BOER BEN - RSA - AMIRA'S NEW COUNTRY !!
opera is not my thing either , but how could you not love this?,,,the sheer talent it takes to sing those notes,,talent of that caliber only comes from God
Looking for next performance? There is a lot of material from Amira. At this point I would go to “ave Maria gomez”. She is eleven in this performance. You see her amazing vocal control at such an early age. Enjoying your channel from California.
I don't want Amira to be with that woman in the TH-cam comments that Amira sings about, and there are people who comment that a woman of the same age as Amira is a world star. This is because Amira's songs make a pure and beautiful singing voice resound in people's hearts ♪ Each person has different tastes. Because Amira is a woman who hastily step by step and grows as she ages.
This is as incredible for 9-year old Amira as "I Put a Spell on You" was incredible for 9-year old Angelina! Both are epic and will be part of musical history!
Only after the first song in the competition in 2013, there were more than 56 million on TH-cam views. These three (excerpts from operas and Ave Maria) plays, even with some errors in the text, will forever remain among the highest human capabilities and evoke emotions with tears in everyone who touches art, because art is born only in conditions of ease and love for him. While Amira would be taught notes,portable, I think her love for opera would have faded, and at the end of each victorious song on stage she would have cried, and not smiled so cheerfully and naturally.
She could sing anything but Opera really fits her big soprano voice and for her to choose opera at that age is amazing. Most 9-year-olds are trying to sing pop hits.
How nice that you react on all the three HGT songs in one time!! And "Nessun Dorma": after Amira had received her Award for winning the contest a few minutes later she pulled it of a second time.... Awesome stuff. As you I am not such a classical music guy, but this is so beautiful and hear Amira now at the age of 18: so impressive. I follow her since a few years now. A collegue reactor from you ("Soprano Note") did also a reaction on Amira's Nessun Dorma. It's a more technical aproache because that reactor is a professional soprano: a look inside vocal technics. I think you will like it.
Paul Potts won the first BGT, Susan Boyle was second to the dance group Diversity if I'm not mistaken. Love BGT and AGT, and often go back and rewatch my fave auditions. If you haven't seen it, you should check out Puddles Pity Party on AGT singing Sia's Chandelier. It's so odd, but strangely satisfying at the same time. I don't think it's reaction material, but definitely an 'if you have a spare 5 minutes' thing. Anyway, all I can say wow. Wow, wow, wow. You can react to Amira every day for a month, and I would watch and enjoy them all. She's absolutely amazing. Blown away. Catherine Jenkins is the Welsh singer, she's pretty awesome too. (ah, you discovered that as I was typing). More Amira whenever you're ready, please! 😍 Edit: came back to watch again as I was so blown away that I missed a lot of your actual reaction. The smiles and the absolute shock from both of you were absolute gold. This may have just topped my list of favourite reactions from you guys (yes, even the PTX ones 😮). OK. I'm off to eat my proverbial hat now...
@EnderOllie 4 Cheers for the correct information on BGT winners, I checked up the the winners and the years, it was so long ago and yet almost like yesterday. We have done a reaction to Puddle once with Post Modern Jukebox, it was interesting and he has a great voice. We took ourselves by surprise on this one to be honest as we had no idea how impressive Amira was going to be. You never know what you are going to see next and that's what keeps this reaction stuff so much fun. Thanks for the comment and we are flattered that we have exceeded your expectations. 😉😉
@@BritPopsReact well, as you know I rarely watch anything other than PTX (me being an obsessive fruitcake), but I occasionally rank other artists in my favourite reaction list. Not always because they are good, either. Your Cardi B one had me weak 🤣🤣🤣
Hi guys I have only just come across your channel tonight and the fact you were reacting to Amira. Like you opera was quite a hard listen with what I thought were difficult to listen to. I found Amira by just having a scroll through TH-cam,, but on hearing her l listened to her virtually every day and she made me cry by the purity, naturalness and her incredible range I personally don't think there is better, as good a perhaps maybe, I just think it's her presence and unforced voice. I stand corry on this but I did read she could sing in 12 languages and speak 3 fluently. Another amazing aspect to Amira is that she set up a foundation that gave schools in South Africa, playgrounds at least 12, what a beautiful heart she has, I hope you cover more of her, and if you feel the tears coming, it is the beauty of the music
the first video she says she wants/hopes to be a singer,,,,,honey you already ARE a singer,,,unbelievable
I've been a hard bastard all my life, I'm75yrs old and no one, has been able to bring me to my knees. Listening to this young lady though, she has me on my knees and crying like a baby.
Amazing grace Amira sings the best I ever heard,and I'm 74. She sings all her songs just like the angel from heaven that she is,!!

It,s a HUGE BEAUTIFUL EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE. Little Amira ,10 years Young in front of 13.000 people. It,s a BANGER. Have fun ,and thanks for your awesome reactions.
Alma Deutscher is beyond talented as a composer..
I sometimes go to see operas, jazz concerts, and pop star concerts in many countries, but I don't find many vocalists who can do such beautiful vibrato. Amira is pure, powerful and amazing!
Loved it. I've heard those clips many times. They never get old. She's a remarkable talent.
Wow, wow, wow - incredible, amazing, mind-blowing - well reacted on that marvelous performance, thank You guys!!!
Incredibly Moving! Amira's talent is astounding and thankyou for showing her three songs from Hollands Got Talent. Can't wait to see what you choose next....you can't be disappointed with anything she sings I'm sure
@jenell56
Thanks for the nice comment, glad you enjoyed it.
We will check out more from Amira soon.
I find it both cute and amazing that while she sings, in a wonderful adult-like voice, as soon as the music stops, she reverts to a child again, with that sweet wave to the crowd. Her parents must be bursting with pride.
Great reaction, glad you have discovered the wonder of Amira and are now making a journey for yourselves!
Amira is a phenomenon Amira simply fantastic absolutely wonderful she's a diva the most beautiful voice in the world
Amira is not only a great soprano with an unparalleled and wonderful voice and character. Amira is a heartfelt soul messenger. Great All HGT performances from Amira.
Amira is the best female singer I have ever met and is a woman of great natural talent and kindness. Amira sings like an angel and the moment listening to Amira's pure and beautiful voice is blissful and eternal. from Japan.
9-year-old Amira's singing voice is exactly the voice of an angel 👼 What a beautiful Amira ❣ Her singing voice is also pure and beautiful ❣ I got goosebumps and tears naturally came out! Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful song❣ Thank you Amira!! 😃🙌
her comment about her future and maybe going to the olympics stems from her activities prior to HGT. She often won mini marathons from the age of seven and beating opponents older than her. Likely where she got the breath bit of holding on to those high notes and the ability to reach them.

when he remarks "she has the passion with it" it catches the unique talent of this young lady,
Wow great voice for someone so young, very talented.
Thanks guys. First time hearing her. Amazing child prodigy!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cannot count the times I've heard her sing Nessum Dorma...still covers me in goosebumps.
Amazing...
On a later occasion she sings in Swedish, it sounds like very ok, I cannot make out every word, but we have a bundle of dialects. I think it is called Gabriella´s song. So, she can even speak or mimic Swedish. When I was 9 I used to catch flies in an empty matchbox, put them in the freezer, and 30 minutes later I took it out and the flies lay there, with all six legs in the air, after a while they thaw and flew merrily away, I guess I will be reborn as a fly in a coming life. It was my degree of development......I get tears in my eyes when I see this. Hope all the best for her.
There is a morning show that she did Gabriel song. It has English subtitles.
She is really thé best.
tears in my eyes everytime i hear this,thanx for the reaction.
Great reaction. Amira gob smacks everyone who hears her. She had a cold / chest infection before the semi finals, so she only had minimal rehearsal time for that appearance. Her Andre Rieu performance is something else, I do recommend you watch that, as Andre coached her and helped polish her delivery. You might need a box of tissues handy, it is very moving!
One performance that I do find stunning is a different Ave Maria ( the Ave Maria Gomez) which she sang in the Canisius church in holland, in 2015, age 11. ( she sang about 5 songs at that Christmas show - but the A.V. Gomez is the jaw dropper) Her effortless vocal skills are apparent there.
The voice warble is called Vibrato. Amira learned to do it by copying Andrew Bocelli on you tube, but she is a natural.
Like you I'm not an opera fan, though I like some classical pieces, Amira is like a siren luring me into uncharted waters with her quality singing. I'm enjoying the journey.
This is perfect ..angel amira .
Welcome the wonderful world of Amira ...
When i was young i wouldn't listen to opera, but my father, who was a singer an a choir said to me, wait until you get older. Then i laughed, but now i am just as stunned as you guys are and i can appreciate opera and this girl teared me up
Not just that, she's a BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING,!! She's made several playgrounds I Africa cause she noticed there weren't any for the kids to play!
Over 20 playgrounds now plus sports equipment for older children and organised a netball tournament for schools providing the facilities and sports gear to the schools first.
Oh, it's not nostalgia that affects your emotions. It's BEAUTY and the PURITY of Amira's voice.
Amira
Robert, who has seen everything gave a great reaction that I don't think anyone else appreciated.
Amira singing AMAZING GRACE "IS" the best version of that song ever done. Even a little bagpipes to boot. BTW Paul Potts singing at a German mall live is pretty impressive as well.
Guys you are so right I was so emotional involved by her voice
This little girl has the best voice on the planet. Obviously I'm not the only one who believes it. Angel sent to bring peace of mind in a world of evil. Beautiful and kind. Great example.
over 1 billion people agree
The song is beautiful. 👍👍
Amazing performance. 👌👌
Big voice. 💪💪
From Basque Country with ❤️.
Stunning. I remember seeing this on youtube a few years ago and I was amazed. Well worth a reaction, cheers guys.
I was happy to see you react to her appearances on Holland's Got Talent after starting a little later in her career. I found the judges reactions to her first appearance to be quite entertaining as well. There seems to be a number of singers around the age of twenty who started amazing us at a young age and are still approaching their prime. We have so much to look forward to!
Thank you so much for this great reaction on my favourite singer! I just want to add a little information: The first audition was recorded in August 2013 and broadcast only in October. Since she got the golden ticket, which equates to the golden buzzer at BGT or AGT, she directly went through to the semi finals. Both the semi finals and the final were broadcast live in December 2013. Just a week before the semi-finals, Amira had a bad cold with fever and a sore throat and was therefore unable to attend rehearsals. Of course you can hear that she wasn't completely healthy again when she performed the "Ave Maria". All the more impressive that she was still able to convince the audience and ultimately won the final with more than 50% of the audience votes!
Guys,,, need more amira
I watched this and fell in love with this child she is pure wholesome I have followed her and she appears still as sweet
You guys haven't heard anything yet, keep going with amira, it changed the genre of music I like from classic rock to Amira
the brain appreciates & responds to beauty in all its forms!
Ave Maria is prayer in song form. It is the Hail Mary. Amira knows that and you see her praying as she sings. Their is the emotions. Keep in mind on Nessun Dorma. After singing she finds out she wins. The confetti comes down and emotions high. Then they asked her to sing it again in closing. She sings it even better. It is also on you tube. listed Nessun Dorma 2nd time. Love your reaction from California USA
I have never seen Amira to have nerves. Ever.
Metal and opera are not too terribly far apart in a lot of ways. The 9 year old little girl brought tears to my eyes, her God given ability and that angelic voice! Look at her eyes, something goes into her, OR something that's always there comes out of her. she is AMAZING. Chuey is drooling, rolling around, mesmerized by that voice.
Sie ist für mich ein lieber Engel. Ich ahnte damals schon, was kommen wird.🙏👍💖
I do feel the golden ticket is a far better recognition for exceptional presentation, what a prize item as a souvenir of achievement that you can keep to remind of something really good. you can't keep a buzzer can you?
Amira remarked in an interview that the audition felt like a dream, but when she woke up next morning, the golden ticket was on the table beside the bed. It's something tangible.
You also can not run across the stage with a buzzer.
Thanks so much for that. Another incredible talent........I agree i love the talent thats coming through
@Blackbird
Thank you for the comment and for watching
Beautiful reaction, judging by the facial expressions, but I didn't understand a single word of what was said.
Please enable automatic subtitles!
You are now in her spell. I never listened to opera either but this is another world. FYI. Amira sang with Paul Potts. And many many other elite singers. Always part of big productions. She is extremely intelligent and articulate. She has also done the song you mentioned that Freddie mercury did - Barcelona. She covers monteressates part perfectly
She just graduated high school as valedictorian.
Amira is showing us the early stages of how to be a SUPERSTAR with a mix of Judy Garland and Maria Callas with a lovely caring personality thrown in
She got her mouth movements by copying Maria Callas.
I know it isn't Christmas time but you have to hear Amira and friends sing "Little Drummer Boy"!
part from her amazing voice... she is 9 yearas old and singing in languages that isnøt her native language, without having the text in fron of her even! That too is incredible, for a 9 year old.
Outstanding reaction. The next step should be Andre Rieu performance at age 10.This performance has 66 million views 5th most of Andre Rieu. During the performance many people were in tears. At the conclusion every single person
in attendance gave Amira a standing ovation, extraordinary. Attendance between 13000 to 15000.
Great job guys. I like your both reactions very much. Nice that you both are interested to follow Amira her progression.
I can't almost wait to see the next reactions about her.
@Michael Steel
Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching.
@@BritPopsReact , please react to Amira's rendition of "Your Love" and her medley of songs from "The Sound of Music"! Thank you! Great reactions from both of you!
Hi guys, please do Amazing grace, full orchestra, bagpipes... Mind blowing!! Just love this girl/woman!
Lots of love from the Netherlands!!
@Marion Bolder-Brugman
Thank you for the information, we will try and check that one out soon.
I love you guys ❣ and Im sooo happy that you tryed this kind of music, AMIRA is my ANGEL, I felt in love to her since the 1st time she performed in HGT, I couldnt stop crying for the Emotion to hear this Angelical Voice, just Mesmerized me and Captivated, since then I been her FAN and 4ever gonna be by far the number one Opera Singer Ever, I had heard many Opera singers but Nobody like She, Not even Maria Callas, AMIRA has the Magic to transport you to other Place, Planet or Dimention..... Thank you guys, Love you ❣
I agree and I agree Amira is the best singer born to sing♪♪♪♪🎼🎤😃🙌
Great reaction for a great talent. I have to admit. Watched your first Amira "Your love" reaction over and over again. Because of the beautiful performance of Amira, orchestra and choir of course, but also BP1's face full of unbelieve and estonishment, the nice comments of BP1 and BP2 in general and BP2's remark about the debut album. Funny and entertaining.
Her performance with Andre Rieu was also impressive. And that all said by a Nightwish and Floor fan. Music does a lot.
stumbled across this reaction of you guys to Amira: Top notch reaction to a top notch performance gents, totally lovely. And totally with you with the emotions, it gets me too each time I listen to these performances by this little star.
I am a big fan of her a long time ago since talent show.
Has anyone else noticed we have a lot of once in a century child singers lately? So many children will huge talents in the arts. Make you wonder if a shift in society is coming. Great reaction. Blessings.
I really have to compliment you two blokes. I love your approach to exploring a new, to you, talent that has a developmental history. Start from the beginning and watch the growth of a young talent. I think her first real paying gig was with Rieu in front of somewhere around 12,000 to 15,000 people. Not bad for your first shot, huh? Well done mates!
@dr P
Hello to you and thank you for the nice comment.
We enjoyed watching that from the where it all started and will be back with more from Amira soon.
We really enjoyed that.
Thanks for watching
Actually, 15,000. Full house.
Two dreams ... "Got the first one nailed" ( is also the Dutch National Champion middle distant runner ) and the second one almost nailed !!
I commend you both for being willing to "go back to the beginning", as most reactors seem to be more interested in "what they're doing now." Loved the video ... nice job !!
I'm so glad you have discovered her, and love your reactions. We, her fans from day one, take such pride in seeing how others react to her, which is a bit of a contradiction as you guys are making money off her, but we love watching your faces, the expletives LOL and the way she hooks everyone in. Her latest interview in Afrikaans was interesting: she is aiming for nine distinctions in her school leaving exams ( the norm is six) and next year, 2023, she will be doing a world tour. So look out for her live performances.
Just a note. Amira moved to South Africa in 2018 and is a South African citizen since 2022. She is finishing school this year and plans to study music and drama at university.
Es wäre schön, wenn Ihr wieder etwas von Amira bringen könntet. Ihr habt das toll zusammengefasst. Ich sehe und höre Euch beide sehr gerne. Wunderbar gemacht.👍💖💗🥰
Linda...
Maravilhosa...
Fantástica...
Amira the best 🙏❤️❤️
perhaps the greatest opera performance ever given she’s only 9yo.
Now the world knows what us Christians have known for centuries is that a person can have the Anointing to sing as a gift from God to bless people.
Amira's singing voice is perfect! !
WHAT AN AWESOME REACTION - THE NEXT ONE OF AMIRA MUST BE AMIRA BEING SHOW CASED BY ANDRE RIEU OF HOLLAND IN MAASTRICHT WHERE THEY PERFORM IN FRONT OF A MASSIVE CROWD - THIS WILL PROBABLY GO DOWN IN HISTORY, AS ONE OF THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCES EVER - IT ALSO SHOWS HER ENORMOUS CONFIDENCE - I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH CONFIDENCE and SUCH EFFORTLESS PERFORMANCES !! THANKS FOR GOING ON YOUR AMIRA JOURNEY, YOUR FOLLOWERS WILL MORE THAN ENJOY HER PERFORM ANCES !! REGARDS FROM BOER BEN - RSA - AMIRA'S NEW COUNTRY !!
Nuestra Reinita Cuando Debutaba, Para la Felicidad y Alegria, De Nosotros los Mortales, Q, Vivimos Aqui en este Afligido Planeta, llamado Tierra.
Amira, who sings high notes with her real voice, is a talent born with the most beautiful voice in the world.
Can I say something else? You two have the best reaction presentation on You tube, It makes me give you so many views
@Passquale Caiazza
Hi Passquale, thank you very much for the nice comment and feedback.
We appreciate it.
Lovely comment and great to hear :) Thanks Passquale - an act of kindness goes a long way :)
opera is not my thing either , but how could you not love this?,,,the sheer talent it takes to sing those notes,,talent of that caliber only comes from God
Looking for next performance? There is a lot of material from Amira. At this point I would go to “ave Maria gomez”. She is eleven in this performance. You see her amazing vocal control at such an early age.
Enjoying your channel from California.
I don't want Amira to be with that woman in the TH-cam comments that Amira sings about, and there are people who comment that a woman of the same age as Amira is a world star. This is because Amira's songs make a pure and beautiful singing voice resound in people's hearts ♪ Each person has different tastes. Because Amira is a woman who hastily step by step and grows as she ages.
This is as incredible for 9-year old Amira as "I Put a Spell on You" was incredible for 9-year old Angelina! Both are epic and will be part of musical history!
Only after the first song in the competition in 2013, there were more than 56 million on TH-cam views. These three (excerpts from operas and Ave Maria) plays, even with some errors in the text, will forever remain among the highest human capabilities and evoke emotions with tears in everyone who touches art, because art is born only in conditions of ease and love for him. While Amira would be taught notes,portable, I think her love for opera would have faded, and at the end of each victorious song on stage she would have cried, and not smiled so cheerfully and naturally.
She could sing anything but Opera really fits her big soprano voice and for her to choose opera at that age is amazing. Most 9-year-olds are trying to sing pop hits.
How nice that you react on all the three HGT songs in one time!! And "Nessun Dorma": after Amira had received her Award for winning the contest a few minutes later she pulled it of a second time.... Awesome stuff. As you I am not such a classical music guy, but this is so beautiful and hear Amira now at the age of 18: so impressive. I follow her since a few years now. A collegue reactor from you ("Soprano Note") did also a reaction on Amira's Nessun Dorma. It's a more technical aproache because that reactor is a professional soprano: a look inside vocal technics. I think you will like it.
Paul Potts won the first BGT, Susan Boyle was second to the dance group Diversity if I'm not mistaken. Love BGT and AGT, and often go back and rewatch my fave auditions. If you haven't seen it, you should check out Puddles Pity Party on AGT singing Sia's Chandelier. It's so odd, but strangely satisfying at the same time. I don't think it's reaction material, but definitely an 'if you have a spare 5 minutes' thing.
Anyway, all I can say wow. Wow, wow, wow. You can react to Amira every day for a month, and I would watch and enjoy them all. She's absolutely amazing. Blown away.
Catherine Jenkins is the Welsh singer, she's pretty awesome too. (ah, you discovered that as I was typing).
More Amira whenever you're ready, please! 😍
Edit: came back to watch again as I was so blown away that I missed a lot of your actual reaction. The smiles and the absolute shock from both of you were absolute gold. This may have just topped my list of favourite reactions from you guys (yes, even the PTX ones 😮). OK. I'm off to eat my proverbial hat now...
@EnderOllie 4
Cheers for the correct information on BGT winners, I checked up the the winners and the years, it was so long ago and yet almost like yesterday.
We have done a reaction to Puddle once with Post Modern Jukebox, it was interesting and he has a great voice.
We took ourselves by surprise on this one to be honest as we had no idea how impressive Amira was going to be.
You never know what you are going to see next and that's what keeps this reaction stuff so much fun.
Thanks for the comment and we are flattered that we have exceeded your expectations.
😉😉
@@BritPopsReact well, as you know I rarely watch anything other than PTX (me being an obsessive fruitcake), but I occasionally rank other artists in my favourite reaction list. Not always because they are good, either. Your Cardi B one had me weak 🤣🤣🤣
Dit is een Super,super reactie,
Bedankt !
9 years old, how is that even possible!!!
Hi guys I have only just come across your channel tonight and the fact you were reacting to Amira. Like you opera was quite a hard listen with what I thought were difficult to listen to. I found Amira by just having a scroll through TH-cam,, but on hearing her l listened to her virtually every day and she made me cry by the purity, naturalness and her incredible range I personally don't think there is better, as good a perhaps maybe, I just think it's her presence and unforced voice. I stand corry on this but I did read she could sing in 12 languages and speak 3 fluently. Another amazing aspect to Amira is that she set up a foundation that gave schools in South Africa, playgrounds at least 12, what a beautiful heart she has, I hope you cover more of her, and if you feel the tears coming, it is the beauty of the music
