She's Dutch, but also spoke Africaans at this age, - her mother's language. She also spoke a smattering of English but she is singing in Italian. There is a point in the first verse where she appears to forget the lyrics, but she sings her way through it, and only the dark haired Italian lady in the audience raises an eyebrow.. That's not her mother in the audience though. This concert was in the town square of Maastricht, the Netherlands. The stage surround is fibreglass, it's not permanent. Amira is 20 now, and studying music at university. There's a back catalogue of her work stretching back over 10 years of magical performances. You ought to give yourself a treat and enjoy a few of them..... Amazing Grace. Amen with the Ndlovu choir. Gesu Bambino. Informal recording with her father. Live in concert Nella Fantasia. That's a good handful for starters. Let's have some more Amira, please.
Great reaction. Subscribed. Amira is Dutch and is a soprano. She won Holland's Got Talent 2013 at just 9 years old. From there she signed a contract with Sony Masterworks and released her first CD, which went gold in a couple weeks. This concert with conductor Andre Rieu went out in the Netherlands when she was just 10 years old. This concert was actually 10 years ago. The video reached close to 500 million views, but two years later on Amira's birthday it was accidentally removed. This video you've seen has been reposted. Here Amira sings an aria from Puccini's opera in Italian. She sings crossover, musicals, Disney, gospel, as well as classics genres. She has sung in 10 different languages, not counting dialects. She is the most popular soprano of all time and has around 100 videos with over 1 million views each, as well as others, all spread across various channels.
Think the views were close to 50, million when that one was taken down. From the reset it's climed to 88 million but there are other postings of it with high amounts.
@@andrewclayton4181 Currently, this video of Amira's performance has 124M views, adding the 3 videos from Andre Rieu's channels (88M), Talented Young Musicians (11M) and pa1189j (25M). The original video that ran for the first 2 years reached close to 500M. The video reposted on Andre Rieu's channel in 2016, when he congratulated Amira on her 12th birthday, started from scratch in terms of views.
You are just getting started being amazed by amira. From her three auditions on Hollands got talent she hasn't stopped changing peoples lives. Don't miss any of her performances. You will quickly become a fan. I wait every week for the newest performances. Have a great ride. Go back to the start and follow her.
She is 20 years old now and one of the best soprano opera singers in the world check out her other videos all awesome thank you she speaks multiple languages born in holland now lives in south Africa she is amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 wild bill
Amira was confident from her first step on stage....she won Holland's Got talent with this song, the last time she was truly 'unknown'. The only changes between then and this performance is some professional vocal coaching, which she did not have before HGT. The wardrobe, orchestra and setting are all by Andre Rieu and reflect his tastes, Amira was a guest.
Yeah, Amira is still singing.. she has an incredible amount of stunning recorded performances on RUclips from each year up to now.. She has just turned 20. She is from the Netherlands but lives some years now in South Africa where her mother is from and is in her first year at University studying music..
THANK YOU JOSH, NOW YOU KNOW WHAT AN ANGEL LOOKS LIKE and SOUNDS LIKE - OUR ANGEL AMIRA IS A GIFT FROM GOD - THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL REACTION, PLEASE DO MORE AMIRA !! 777 BOER BEN
Amira is not real she is a special phenomenon of God simply fantastic magnificent and fabulous Amira is simply The Special Angel of God The Special Princess of God absolutely unique incomparable she is definitely a Special Gift from God❤❤❤❤ This is Amira❤❤❤❤ thank God for Amira
Amira is now fluent in Dutch (her own language), Afrikaans, and English. You might like Nessun Dorma (CIG 2017), and at the same South African Concert, the Flower duet, with Corlea Botha. The Sound of Music Medley (age 15) is worth a look, as is Gesu Bambino, more recently. Not before 12,500 as with Andre, but in an empty church with her father playing the organ and a friend using a mobile phone. With Andre Rieu, at the same venue, about 10 years later, give yourself another surprise, Emma Kok, age 15, now world famous. Play the intro.
Great reaction..... welcome to the world of Amira...... this is filmed in the market square of Maastricht in the Netherlands which is Andre Rieus home town he does several summer concerts each year there. So respected is he that all the surrounded cafes and bars agreed to not serve alcohol during the concerts .. they can before and after but not during and this was at his request . No that is not Amiras Mum in the crowd jusg an audience member Also Amira is 20 now and still singing
Everything Amira does is amazing even now at 20 years old. She is a most beautiful person. Try something a little unique, look up on RUclips Andre Rieu and Anthony Hopkins. Very surprising.
Hello. A great first reaction ! I suscribed. Amira's 20 years old now and yes, she still sings and performs opera arias better and better. She has a great motivation and a great potential. Maybe you've just discovered a new Beverly Sills "Bubbles", or a future Joan Baez (she recently sang We shall overcome)... 😊 However, many of her performances are already outstanding !
The song is in Italian. She is Dutch/South African and doesn't speak Italian. She has sung in around a dozen different languages. She now speaks Dutch, Afrikaans and English.
Very correct. In the first recording, the director focused on Amira and the orchestra but, seeing the audience's reaction, Andre requested this approach and saved this second performance
Amira is 20 now. She's still singing and is such a joy to listen to. Check out her latest, "Amen" with the Ndlovu youth choir from South Africa. It's perfection and what she can do with only one word!!! She's phenomenal.
WOW! She was amazing! Beautiful song and her voice...unbelievable!
Yes it is!
She's Dutch, but also spoke Africaans at this age, - her mother's language. She also spoke a smattering of English but she is singing in Italian.

Amen with the Ndlovu choir.
Gesu Bambino. Informal recording with her father.
Live in concert Nella Fantasia.
That's a good handful for starters. Let's have some more Amira, please.
Wow! That’s incredible. I’ll definitely add some of those to my list. Thanks for the info and for tuning in!

Josh I had the same reaction years earlier when I first heard, please react to Amira singing “Amazing Grace” a few years later. Thx
Amazing grace reaction is about to drop later today! Thanks for the recommendation.
The stunned look on your face pretty much says it all.
Haha I was authentically stunned at her voice!

Agreed there are so many good Amira videos on RUclips. Not sure anybody has mentioned her surname, it is willighagen.
@@peterk1948 . Amira's name is often mentioned but usually mis-pronounced. Should be Villighaagen. Some dispute this.
You’re the second to recommend this one so it must be good. I’ll add it to the list!!
Interesting!

Also Amira is 20 now and still singing
So interesting. I would love to visit there sometime! Looks so cool!
@@joshmurrayreactions
He does tour the world as well ....his concerts are extremely popular and tickets sell out very quickly lol
It is on the main square in Maastricht Holland. An audience of 10,000 people.
That's a ton of people!
Everything Amira does is amazing even now at 20 years old. She is a most beautiful person.
Try something a little unique, look up on RUclips Andre Rieu and Anthony Hopkins. Very surprising.
I'll take a look! Thank You

Amazing amira
Agree
The song is in Italian. She is Dutch/South African and doesn't speak Italian. She has sung in around a dozen different languages. She now speaks Dutch, Afrikaans and English.
That’s impressive
She is always beautiful
Yes, thank you for sharing
She sang this two nights running. She had a whale of a time doing it, but Dutch regulations wouldn't let her do more than that.
Really. That’s interesting.
Very correct. In the first recording, the director focused on Amira and the orchestra but, seeing the audience's reaction, Andre requested this approach and saved this second performance
The rumble at the end is the sound of 10,000+ people getting to their feet.
Amira o meu mundo é você ❤
Yea
Quem imaginaria que ela tornar-se ia a melhor intérprete da Virgine de Angeli da Força do Destino de Verdi.
Agree
Great reaction. Amira is always Amazing. Please do more of her.
Will do!!
This was held in Mastricht, Holland.
Oh cool!
Amira is 20 now. She's still singing and is such a joy to listen to. Check out her latest, "Amen" with the Ndlovu youth choir from South Africa. It's perfection and what she can do with only one word!!! She's phenomenal.
