    OMG her voice is just astoundingly beautiful. I'm done, there is just nothing you can say, no words that can describe the sound of that angels voice. Is it real?
    Why has this been kept hidden away for a year. No wonder Coleske signed her to a contract. The audience was in tears listening to this gorgeous young super star. Just breathtaking.

      Note that this superb performance was from a year ago. Amira's performances of 'Nessun Dorma' and 'The Flower Duet' on the CIG 2017 DVD are also 'astoundingly beautiful' with a voice that has continued to mature for one more year. This DVD is well worth purchasing from Gelukskinders.

How I wish I was a young man so I could listen to this magnificent voice all of my life, I thank the Lord for allowing me to live long enough to have heard this immortal voice of Amira Willighagen and then with great gratitude I see this beautiful humble young lady that brings us this heavenly music.

    I’ve attempted to compare and contrast Amira with other young opera singers, trying to find out why I like her more than the others. It took me awhile to come to the conclusion that when she sings, she somehow takes you with her to the beauty of the song that she sings. When she comes on stage, one sees the beautiful face, the lovely clothes, the carefully selected accessories. But soon as she starts singing, it becomes just you and the song - no distractions of well-scripted hand and face movements unlike the others; everything else fades from view. And when she finishes, one is jarred back to reality. Once more one sees the lovely little girl waving to the crowd with that unaffected girlish smile that says I enjoyed that, did you? Somehow one realizes it was not just a performance you watched, but an experience you shared with Amira. How does one so young do this magic?

    Witnessing this rendition of Nella Fantasia, I developed leaky-eyetis like the rest of the world and audience for no reason that I can explain. She is human off-stage, but her singing simply transcends into something indescribable. Delivered in the package of a child. Opera has suddenly become the go-to music for shower singing - and I don't believe I've listened to opera in decades. Amira, I hope you stay the course and continue to touch souls, thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

    Once in a very great while, God presents someone onto the world stage that transcends most all that have come before and that's where Amira comes in. Her voice is simply beyond description. A soprano version of Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, you name it. To describe Amira is to drain the vocabulary of superlatives.

    If there are angels on Earth.... Amira is certainly the brightest of them. I've watched all her TH-cam videos from her earliest impromptu performance on "Holland's Got Talent" to this latest. She has gone from a precocious nine-year-old, unaware of her raw talent, to the performance stages around the world, amazing audiences... yes, even bringing them to tears, with her beautiful renditions of classical pieces. Her beauty and talent grows with each year. Hup Amira!

    This is one of my most favorite videos of Amira. She is 12 y.o. when she performs this song but it shows the tremendous range, purity, and clarity of her voice. Many people try to compare her to Maria Callas, but there is no comparison. Amira is much better than Maria. Her ability is so amazing. At the end of any of her performances she is not even breathing hard.
    so many singers who sing some of these same songs and perform them Amira does you will notice them breathing hard at the end of their performance. Not so with Amira. She is just an amazing singer. I do believe that she is the best in the world. I am totally in love with her and and her voice...the most beautiful voice ever!

      Not sure if you're aware Peter, but another of Amira's loves is distance running. And she's quite adept at it, having won many races since very young. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if that has contributed to those tiny lungs being so powerful. But the beauty of her renditions is another story. That comes from that big charitable heart of hers. Something that she is able to instill in her many fans and listeners. Quite a remarkable combination for one so young. Incredible journey we're all on ....... following this young ladies storybook career.

    In addition to Amira's beautiful sound, she has added so much professionalism to her performances this year. She enters like a star, composed and calm. Her breathing is deep and thought out in advance so her phrasing is spot-on. She rises to the climaxes and then spins out quieter phrases. And she ends with a splendid, sustained high C.

    I find it unbelievable that a 12 year old girl can sing like this and from where does she get the lung capacity. This young woman is truly amazing with a great future. I know she was asked this before and answered that for her it is normal, 'just like walking'

If you want to hear Amiras voice in its purest form as an 11 year old, see Ave Maria (Gomez) Canisius Church (Dec.19 2015). Not all the glitz of her latest performances, but I swear, a voice that could drill through stone. Just incredible. Enjoy

    I accidentally came upon Amira's 2013 audition of Holland's Got talent and listened to her sing O Mio Babbino Caro. I was awe struck at this nine year old girl that could sing like that. It was her time to make her appearance and share her gift with the rest of us. At that time I don't think she realized what an impact she had made on the world of music. And, since then, I have been trying to follow her advancement. I try to keep up on her interviews but most of them are not captioned for
    English-speaking persons. Her first TV interview was, however, and it was very enjoyable. Amira has a voice that I am having a difficult time finding the right word to descirbe it. Impressive, magnificent, perfect, beautiful. One word that would encompass all of these... when she sings the songs just come so easily and naturally and the sound is so clear and bright. I have not been a fan of listening to opera songs before, but now, as long Amira Willighagen is singing, I will definitely be listening.
    However, not only does she have the voice of angel, unmatched anywhere in this world, she is also a budding philanthrophist. My admiration for her increased ten-fold when I learned of her Gelukskinders Foundation. Thank you, Amira.

      Peter, you've said it well and I'm proud of you that you also mention her Foundation. That's what we like about Amira, she's not only a gifted singer, but also cares for children who have less or nothing to play with, which is vital during the process of growing up. Amira took care of that, and it is just for this great humble gesture, she we be my lifetime singer, no matter what happens to her and which direction she will go.

    • @rainieresguerra7486
      @rainieresguerra7486 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Add to her effort in establishing and supporting Gelukskinder Foundation is the fact that she regularly performs in various charity concerts and events. Those performances are deducted from the number of performances she is allowed to perform in a given year under the law applicable to her. She turns down hundreds of invitations to perform for a fee yet she happily shares her talent for free to help others.

    THE most emotionally charged and perfectly sung rendition of one of the most exquisite pieces of music ever written.
    For a 12 year old, to have a voice so pure and with such exquisite tonality...it is beyond words.
    Her ability to evoke emotional reactions from audiences is absolutely astounding.
    And for a girl of her age to hit High C's, C6 high C's is just incredible.
    My favourite voice ever.

    I remember seeing her on Holland's Got Talent over a year ago, I knew then she was a special talent especially when she looked confused when they asked her who taught you how to sing or who is your teacher. She didn't know how to answer the questions. She actually listened to the music and words on TH-cam and learned it from there at the start. Her voice is breathtaking and soothes the soul. It appears that she sings humbly and without effort.
