Thank you for this!
I thought I had scoured every video of Amira, anxiously awaiting new material, I was wrong. Your wonderful documentary allowed me to hear and experience even more and your timeline allowed me, in one setting, to witness the progression she is making as she gets older.
Simply put, Amira has awakened many to classical music.
She has filled a void that that people of all ages are hungry to hear. Her voice calms the spirit and soul.
Hours later, after hearing Amira sing, one still hears her.
Until Amira came, I thought Maria Callas had the purest voice.
I have listened to all the child classical singers, as they progressed, although their voices have been beautifully trained, their contorted faces while singing to get the sound just right, has now turned me away to view them while they sing.
They appear unnatural and strained as to where Amira still looks like an Angel singing for the world, pure and coming from the heart.
You simply cannot train that, it's natural beauty that comes from within.
Thank you again, this was wonderful to watch as I start my day.
Salute
Debbie, I made a thumb up, but I like to put in script that I like your comment very much, especially the part of "I am listening to the young classical singers..." Amira is so natural and relaxed. You hit an important point. Kind Regards
Wait! Did you just compare Amira to Maria Callas? You know that one is an pop singer and one is an opera singer right?
@@billybaldwin8918 Pop singer?? You have not the slightest idea of Amira!!
@@johanvanham5102 Show me a video of her singing over an orchestra without a microphone please.
Didn,t know the flower duet , O Mio Babino Caro ea are pop songs. I,m stunned that when a singer sings a Classical song ,the use of a microphone makes it a popsong. So when Pavarottie sang Nessun Dorma with a microphone ,the microphone made him a popsinger singing pop.
This is what I imagine an angel must look like.
Not only for her voice but her unselfishness and her charity work...
Een grote dame as they say in Dutch...
Amira has amazing control, tone, range, and quality. She had all this at nine years old and nothing is forced. Her voice keeps ringing in the ears long after the song is over. I have heard some voice coaches not very accepting of her talent at this age afraid that her voice will give out early. Some other opera amateur aficionados denigrate her for not having the experience of a Callas or Sissle so they do not consider her in the same class. But I just have to say that to be able to sing arias with the best of them without effort is a great achievement. I hope she sticks with classical music and POPera, I do not want her to become the fat lady that sings at the end of an opera. The opera elite do not deserve her.
There's only one young girl with a true angelic operatic voice, and that's Amira. She's the only one who uses the correct operatic technique (despite being self-taught). All the others sing from the back of their throats and you can see the difference if you watch their mouths and you can hear it if you listen to how they're singing. She also has a heart that match her voice. Amira is truly one of a kind! 👍🌹🌟🏆🥇💖
I named my daughter Amira because of this raw talent as her first cry reminded me of this Angelic voice and I had no option than to name her Amira. Hope she sings with you someday. She's 7 years old now and has a wonderful voice too
You're a gift to the world and an angel to thoso much less fortunate. I wish the world would have more people like you. Wish you and your family all the blessing 🙌
You know they're good when they bring tears to your eyes.
😢😢😢👏👏👏
Amira is not "a Soprano". She is "THE SOPRANO" The best ever, in every sense.
Great job, Ray. Thanks!
Yes she is the soprano. Thats exactly what i thought!!!
Unfortunately, although I agree she is a woderful soprano singer, she still has to improve her pronunciation in foreign languages (namely italian and french). For a successful career she must take care of this aspect. I have noticed many flaws, as I speak italian, Spanish, portuguese and a good deal of french. For the time being, she has the excuse of being very Young. In the future she will face a more demanding audience. I wish Amira all the success.
@@vadinhopsc The Latin or Romance languages don't come easy for most Dutch. It took me 14 years to get a fair demand of Portuguese. Just give her a few more years and enjoy the ride.
@@waltermessines5181 Sure Walter. I agree with you. However, just as a comparison, the first time I heard Jackie Evancho singing, my jaw fell down the floor. It was O Mio Babbino Caro. She was ten. I asked my sister whether she was really from the USA, because she had some accent, true, but I understood word by word. When I heard Amira singing the same air, she skipped and ommited and changed the lyrics. Sure, she was just 9 and everything, but it gave me this bad impression at the same time being astonished by her voice. In other word, she has to do her homework. Some of her performances in South África are stunning. She has improved a lot in the sense I'm talking about. Great singer. Time will turn her into one of the best ever.
@@vadinhopsc I agree with you. I too have noticed her pronunciation of foreign languages needs work. Also I think if she worked on translating the words she would understand how to show more emotion that is fitting with the arias. Perhaps a Master Class with Joyce Di Donato would do the trick. Joyce is an amazing teacher!
I just love this girl. Beautiful voice and a huge heart. She is so special
You are not just a beautiful singer but you are a beautiful girl with a voice of the heart. Love you Amira. You sure have a future. I have been watching everything you do and sing in You Tube since you won Hollands Got Talent. and I even like to hear you on an interview because I love your accent.
In my eyes, this doc should not be named "The making of a soprano" but The birth of a Soprano, Not because she is young but becouse she is born with this incredible beautiful voice! And grown up to be the same awsome person who cares more about others then her self. That's more than amazing! Amira you were an amazing kid and you are more than an amazing woman! I'm truely inspired by you and your brother, I love how he supports you and is always there for you. He's always on the background but with such a suppurp singer that's almost logical, but he is always there for you. I love your connection and wow, just wow.
Keep on wowing the world please...
Amira = voce angelica, carisma, generosità e bellezza interiore. Veramente brava e ammirevole
Amira está mas alla de cualquier discusión inutil sobre si es soprano o no . Lo mas valioso es su maravillosa voz , su más maravilloso corazón , su capacidad de hacer emocionar a las personas con su infinita dulzura . Amira esun regalo de Dios
Zgadzam się w 100%
Amira, não sei se um sonho ou a mais pura realidade. Num dia de muita angústia de com toda imprensa noticiando as mortes na Itália e no mundo sobre o corona vírus. Desliguei imediatamente nossa TV e comecei a buscar algo no TH-cam que desse luz, alma e clareza ao meu coração, aí encontrei Amira, essa flor desabrochando e comecei a segui_lave não mais parei. Já assisti seus documentários, seus shows, uma obra de Deus. Muita Luz, muito amor pra vice princesinha. Eu e meu.msrido encontramos na sua beleza, seu carisma, forças.oara seguir adiante. Obrigada!
O que esta me aliviando primeiramente é Deus e essa Amira ela transmite uma paz tao boa em nossos coraçoes .
Absolutely fabulous! Now we can say "It ain't over 'til Amira sings. " Thank you, young lady; the future is yours.
She not only has a gifted voice of a Star but a big generous HEART who cares about others by doing all these charity projects to help children...Thank you, Amira for all the work that you put in your performances, you sound like an Angel...
Wonderful. Thank you! 💝💫💫💫💫💫
Amira tiene una prodigiosa voz , canta como los angeles !! Saludos desde Lima-Peru 🇵🇪
A True Angle! When a person includes care and Love for hurting children. She has the blessings of God. Amira so many tears from Heaven for you.
I love everything about her just amazed how beautiful that voice sings it’s like being in the presence of angel of God. Beautiful Amira heaven sent from above. Thank you for sharing !
Fabulous singer! Enchanting, attractive, cheeky smile, big heart, generous. I hope this charming girl will hit the highest high!!!!!
Amira é uma energia celestial, que emana através do seu canto, que me encanta, me acalma, sinto paz em ouvi-la.Tenho 62anos.
Sou do Brasil, depois de passarmos por período de eleição, com tantas fake news, encontrei Amira, no TH-cam, ela tem sido um bálsamo para meus dias. Só alegria 😍 para o meu ❤️
Never heard of Amira until the other day. Not a fan of opera, but there are only 2 singers i will listen to, Andrea Bocelli and now Amira. Can't believe she taught herself by youtube
Barbie Mccabe; would they ever sing a duet? Maybe that's not even far-fetched.
Me too.. l've only just discovered her when I watched her sing at an Andre Rieu concert. WOW !!!!!!!!!

Hello and thank you from South Texas.This young woman has God given talent. Very seldom in a life time do we get to experience such an Angelic voice as Amira's. When I listen to her sing she brings tears and a sense of happiness to me that are hard to explain. What a miracle she truly is.
Fabulous
My thots exactly she's a definitely gift from God
Little wonderful beautiful Amira is a so incredible amazing soul. I love her with all my heart! Thank you little girl for all the happyness you bring to my own soul with your voice, your way to be, you just simple as you are you are biggest than everyone. Because your are unique and you join the heart of everybody. I love you Amira, with all my heart
Muy lindo documental de Amira,nunca había sido fan de un cantante,me gustaba la música y tenía como todo el mundo generos musicales,canciones,cantantes e incluso compositores que me gustaban pero realmente no era fan de nadie...hasta que escuché a Amira y de un día para el otro soy su fan incondicional,a veces me apena que haya comentarios negativos hacia ella y aunque entiendo que hay gente que tiene otros gustos musicales y otros cantantes preferidos no estoy de acuerdo en que a ella la descalifiquen criticandola injustamente,si a mí no me gusta tal o cuál cantante no voy a poner comentarios desagradables,solo no lo escucho y listo. Pero bueno somos muchos más los que escuchamos y queremos a Amira y eso es lo que vale!!!🎶🎵🎼👏👏👏❤
Good points. To each their own.
J'ai 68 ans et c'est Amira qui m'a fait decouvrir et aimer la musique classique.GRAND MERCI AMIRA.BISOUS D'ALGER.
Thank you Ray Vandenburg for making this great video!
I really enjoyed watching Amira's journey from darling child to beautiful young woman.
And her amazing voice throughout!
Well done Ray!
The first time she walked onto the stage on "Holland's got talent i saw a little angel and i still se her as an angel.
What a nice video,love it. Her voice is a angles voice. May God bless her and family always. And all of the nice things she is doing for the children in Africa with place they can have fun on the swings.😊🌈💐🌹🐒🐘🦉😅
So Amira is 18 now. Let's see what she's done. Oh forget that! It's easier to list what she hasn't done. 💖. She is truly a marvelous person who doesn't know the word quit. And you watch these clips of her singing with the best of the best all around the globe. To hear that she's self taught, no formal training and donated hours and hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars to not only her charity but others around the world. Amira is guite simply a living, breathing miracle from Heaven. I'm waiting with baited anticipation to catch her on her next tour anywhere in North America. 🌹💖 And I say that only because of my limited budget to travel other than America, Mexico or Canada.
Cómo ha ido creciendo a través de los años desde su primera presentación. BRAVO.DIOS LA BENDIGA!
This was a beautifully made documentary on Amira and I really am grateful you made it. She literally has the voice of an angel sent from God. I never fail to cry and get goosebumps when I listen to her sing. May God continue to bless her with His gifts and her pure heart! Much love from the United States ❤
Thank you so much for that movie! Love to Amira - the best soprano in the world!
Why do i cry when i listen to Amira? I am not sad at all…..I am happy!
I was being treated for PTSD and I asked the therapist: will my emotions ever come back? He said: "You will know you are recovering when the dam breaks".
She broke it.
A healing voice for sure.
Amira sponsoring playgrounds for children makes children happy. Listening to you singing makes everybody happy
Beautiful in every way. You are great Amira. What a talent and a great hart!
What a talent!!
Wow .... it gave me tears of joy
Excellent...been there since the start. Love this talent and love the person she has become.
Non so chi non piaccia Amira ma credo che sono degli amanti della musica Pop. Amira è altro!
Lovely gowns!
Thank you, Amira, for giving all those children the opportunity of getting fun and joy. They look very happy.
She is my very favorite opera singer. The princess of opera.
You do not tire of hearing her sing b/c her voice has so much color. It is not dull but beautiful and alive, shimmery, high! Brava Amira! You have staying power. God bless!
The best voice over the world! 🌍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
What an amazing talent! And a heart of gold! Amira!.. great video.
Nagyon kedves kislàny, különleges képeséggel rendelkezik. Az Isten àldja meg és így mosolyogjon örökké. / A beautiful little girl with a special gift. God bless her and I wish that she keep smiling like this forever. Greetings from Hungary
She has a voice only God could bless a person with. Absolutely unbelievable, as an actor with many G&S musicals (Robin Williams directed) I've performed with good singers, Amira is in a league of her own
Why is it when god does something it's good, when bad things happen it 's not him.
@@kevinhayes8188 because nothing that comes from God is bad. Humans create chaos, by not obeying the wisdom of the Almighty God.
Noemia Amira adoro ela.
Amira is an impressive vocalist. I am just as impressed by her charitable work. Building playgrounds for children around the world is a brilliant idea. It's something those kids will remember all of their lives.
May God protect her. She is a gift to us from Him
Kind heart, great voice. She is a angel. 🌹♥️
amira is god angel on earth.
OMG , SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL WOW ,, CLASSY YOUNG LADY 🌺🌺🌺💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I'm so glad that Amira has not over trained her voice, it's so natural and you can hear every word of her song,
What do you mean by over train? Training makes it even better and healthier.
@@estera4176 Perahps Elaine Highman means "over use" rather than over train. A singer as young as Amira is needs to be careful not to overdo it with too many performances or singing repetoire that is too mature for her right now. The vocal cords are very delicate and over use and singing too much can cause irreversible damage. The horror for any singer is developing polyps or nodes. Even a swollen vocal cord is dangerous and that happens to a lot of singers from training too much or performing too much. Even when practising, it's much better for a vocalist to sing in small time bits throughout the day rather than an hour straight. The vocal cords and larnyx need to be "worked out" like an athlete works out their muscles.
Yes agreed
I saw her the first time on „America Got Talent „ , she was eight at the time! Her voice blew everyone away! It was like hearing an angel! Been watching her over the years, what a talent! Love her!
Annie; thank you for being such a devoted Amira fan. I have to make a few text corrections: Amira performed in "Holland's Got Talent"; she then was 9 years old.
She is a gift from heaven.Sings like an angel,god has blessed her in a mighty way! I love to here her singing,may god bless her always,what an amazing person she is.
Spectacular !!!
Thank you for this beautifull video, thank you for Amira, thank you for making me better with every sound of her voice and God bless Amira and all people all over the World!
Total intressant, danke herzlich für ihre Bemühungen, GOTT SCHÜTZT AMIRA UND IREN FAMILIE.
Ray - extraordinary summary of early career of this amazing artist who is not only a great soprano talent but also exemplar humanitarian! Another post makes petty comments about her humanitarian initiative. Sure, ten years old girl needs lawyers to write foundation papers, contributors with money and crew to physically build playgrounds. She keeps donating money to her Geluksinders but her charity is more than that; it is about inspiring others to follow her dream of building playgrounds. Some say they did not like opera until listening to Amira; well I did not care about playgrounds until Amira’s example made me to support her charity. Her Birthday wish for her Fans is for them to donate money to her charity.
Thanks Ray again!
Well said, Jan. Very good post.
So glad you showed O Sole Mio with e di Capuc, which shows just how calm and professional Amira can be when he holds a note as long as he can and Amira responds by holding her notes longer.
Perfect video of a perfect girl
Lo mas hermoso de Amira es su interioridad que lo demuestra en voz y en su angelical rostro. Es una embajadora de Dios en la Tierra.Hace uso de sus dones divinos para lograr que los niños de SudAfrica sean felices. Que ese halo divino con el que nacio permanezca en ella para siempre.Bendiciones para Amira y su familia.
,
Angelic en een enorme zanger !!!! Waar kom je vandaan? Rechtstreeks van God ?! Je bent heel opwindend !! Ik wou dat je zou komen voor concerten en concerten! Liefde met heel mijn hart !!! Amira... U gelooft oprecht in u in Jeruzalem-Israël
Ray
