This performance will be marked as one of the greatest ever. Doesn't matter as the years go by or Amira grows up - this is Beauty Frozen in Time. A 9 year old Dutch-speaking girl singing complex Italian Effortlessly from one of the world's most emotional operatic arias. The final word is Pietà which means Mercy or Pity: and it is heart-breaking to hear such a young girl prolong those notes with such feeling and intensity - especially as she had just sung Vorrei Morir = I should want to die. Thank-you.
I have watched this many times and I am still in awe. She channels an old soul some say Maria Callas from the 1950's. I am struck by the audience reaction of pure joy and tears. I think many walked away grappling with the concept of divinity with an angelic gift such as her. They brought their secular beliefs into question as to what they just witnessed. Purity and innocense in a troubled world. Amira is even more amazing now. Thank you for your "WOW" review.
If you stay with Amira you will be amazed many more times. Viewings of this performance now exceed 80,000,000 worldwide. She also sings hymns and fun songs like Little Drummer Boy. Her best performances of Nessun Dorma are (CIG 2017) and her first school concert (2018) when she moved to South Africa. There are biographical videos, some of which includes details of the work of her charity, Gelukskinders. You might also like the Sound of Music Medley, when she was 15. Best wishes, JOE.
Maria, wonderful reaction to our wonderful Amira! I've been following her as long as I have Angelina Jordan. Her name "Amira" means princess in Arabic -- and she truly is in her character, Christian values, accomplishments, grace, charm, and ever-joyful spirit. You mentioned her contributions to a children's charity. It is called Gelukskinders Foundation ("Lucky Children Foundation"), and you'll be amazed to know that it is actually HER foundation that she formed at the age of TEN! She is as beautiful inside as she is outside and vocally, if not more so!
When she started Holland’s Got Talent, she was self trained for two years of TV, her mouth from Maria Callas, her lungs from being a winning distance runner. At this point she has some training from Rieu. You can hear how she has improved on this song from her opening version of it on Holland’s Got Talent. She graduated from high school last fall as a Valedictorian, and is now on a world tour for a year before college.
Amira is like an angel from God,you should hear her sing Amazing Grace,and The Sound of Music melodies Every song she sings sounds amazing.May God bless her,and her beautiful family always'!!
Amira is not real she is a special angel from God Amira is absolutely fantastic wonderful simply perfect magnificent Amira is a phenomenon she is a gift from God thank God for Amira❤❤❤
She is so amazing. I have watched many of her video, every one of them are great. There is a video of her singing Your Love, she thirteen in that one. Bye the way your reaction are very nice.
When you compare the history from Amira and Angelina, they are shockingly similar. Both did win a national contest (Amira in 2013 HGT, Angelina in 2014 NGT), both are top-class in their own genre, both have left their home country at the age of 12-13, both care very much for less fortunate children. A big difference between the two: at first Amira just wanted to sing one time on tv and nothing else, Angelina wanted to be a superstar from the start. I like to mention another name for you: Lucy Thomas, she is 19 years, from the UK and she was runner-up in Voice Kids when she was 14 (a good start would be her rendition of 'Halleluja', from Lennard Cohen). I do not know what was in the water when these girls were born in 2004-2006, but it must have been something special...
Another rabbit hole for you! So pleased you have discovered Amira. She has two duets with Patrizeo Buene, O Sole Mio, and Amigos Para Sempre, both incredible, the first she was 12, the second 14/15. Another duet with Corlea Botha, The Flower duet, amazing. Others worth checking out are Santa Maria at the Canisius Church, age 11/12, Nella Fantasia, age 12, and Amazing Grace age 14, (these last two both at concerts in South Africa). Looking forward to watch you reacting to some more Amira.
Yes there is a lot of you tube content of her singing, + interview's, documentaries and the like. Most of it is stunning. Following her success at Hollands got Talent, she was given coaching, and released her first cd album while still 9. She was 10 when she sang this aria with Andre Rieu. She is still a brilliant singer, though it's appears less jaw dropping now she has grown up. She also has a beautiful, kind personality, she attributes her ability as a God given gift and tries to use it to benefit humanity, her own work and effort is modestly dismissed as she loves singing and performing. There was talk of a world tour, in this gap year between school and college, but after a visit to Holland and Norway, she has returned to South Africa, and has appeared in several shows and concerts there. Some glamorous events, others just singing for care home residents. No further information about a tour has emerged. Apart from the you tube offerings, from her website, cd's and dvd's of some of her concerts can be obtained, profits benefitting her charity foundation of course. She is utterly gorgeous and I urge you to review some more of her releases from the last 10 years.
Nice reaction to this young artist. Reminds me of this other great talent Sissel !!! Slow down Panis angelicus Like an angel passing through my room Pie Jesu I rest my eyes Thank you!❤
If you would please react to Amira’s video “With All My Heart- Con todo mii corizon” . I can not think of some one else that could do more of reaction this deserves. This will get to your heart, it did mine. What a beautiful person Amira is.
She is definitely blessed with a gift that even most singers don't have. I still have an issue with the very last note sung as a high note instead of a low note as written. Other than that, though, wonderful.
She sang an outstanding performance at age 12 "Nelle Fantasia" (My Fantasy), an Italian Song, th-cam.com/video/z_WyjEj5DW8/w-d-xo.html and at age 13 sang the very complex "Flower Duet," th-cam.com/video/Kk1l84UW1pI/w-d-xo.html and also Amazing Grace th-cam.com/video/7PJWRKkMpHM/w-d-xo.html
How Amira reach herselfs? via youtube. No singing lessons...... You have to watch her first appearance in "Holland got Talent". (There is a video with english subtitles).

Rieu is the conductor. Note that he is following Amira and thus leading the orchestra.

One of my favorite singers. BTW anyone whose never been to one of these Andre Rieu concerts has missed out on something truly spectacular!

Vastly better here. The HGT version actually hurt my ears listening to her. Pitch and tone is much better here.
4 months later. One week with Rieu and crew. Called a master class. What a difference. Compare H.G.T TO this
Amira is like an angel from God,you should hear her sing Amazing Grace,and The Sound of Music melodies Every song she sings sounds amazing.May God bless her,and her beautiful family always'!!
Amira is not real she is a special angel from God Amira is absolutely fantastic wonderful simply perfect magnificent Amira is a phenomenon she is a gift from God thank God for Amira❤❤❤
That charity is her own! It is called Gelukskinders.... Translated into English it means "Happy Children"....
Her older brother, Vincent, gives her the foreign language pronunciation.
When she saw people crying she thought she had done something wrong.
You'll have to watch her sing "AMAZING GRACE" at 13 yrs.old
My opinion, she is the best then and now.
She must have an amazing ear for music, in addition to the gift of learning by herself, and beautiful voice.
She is so amazing. I have watched many of her video, every one of them are great. There is a video of her singing Your Love, she thirteen in that one. Bye the way your reaction are very nice.

Thank you!❤
If you would please react to Amira’s video “With All My Heart- Con todo mii corizon” . I can not think of some one else that could do more of reaction this deserves. This will get to your heart, it did mine. What a beautiful person Amira is.
It’s from the soul. She was born with it. And I mean that literally.
Maastricht on a rainy day.
Nice reaction. Amira is great and so humble.
She is definitely blessed with a gift that even most singers don't have. I still have an issue with the very last note sung as a high note instead of a low note as written. Other than that, though, wonderful.
Uma orquestra, um anjo, uma obra de arte...Amira the best ❤️

She is to classical genre what Angelina is to jazz

Why Am I Reacting, she has had training I think the Dutch TV-show made a mistake there.
This documentary will give some insight into how Amira taught herself to sing: th-cam.com/video/yTdOVKPY5tA/w-d-xo.html
