    Amira was 11, here; her father was playing the organ; her brother was the violinist, her mother (who had forgotten her glasses, and could not read the music) was having difficulty playing the recorder. She's singing in Spanish, and totally immersed in the music. Watch the chorist in the top right-hand corner . . .

    Some try to compare her to others, that's opinion only, so mine opinion is she is unmatched in the power she brings , the clarity of her voice and her unique tone, she's is most definitely one of a kind. Can't get enough

      I totally agree with you. I love all of Amira's songs,but this one and "Your Love" in particular, put her in a class that is beyond reach of anybody else that I've heard. She just boggles the mind. I just wish I'd known about her in her earlier years. Only went down this rabbit hole about two months ago. Saw her in a thumbnail while checking for something else and she hooked me. The rest is history!

    One quick comment on Amira. It appears to me that the reason she can put so much emotion into her singing is that she doesn’t have to think about what notes she needs to sing, as she knows that what notes come out will automatically be correct.
    It is just such natural voice control., so she’s not thinking “ I must hit this note or that “. That’s already been taken care of, so She can concentrate on the emotional side.

    Ik volgde Amira al op negen jarige leeftijd op RUclips sinds ze G H T had gewonnen , dus het kon niet uitblijven om naar dit concert te gaan het heeft me zo goed gedaan dat ik al een paar maal in Z/A ben geweest om haar concerten bij te wonen , en ik zal haar blijven volgen zolang ik leef , want Amira is meer dan een goede zangeres Amira is Amira moeilijk uit te leggen , daar kom je pas achter als je haar blijft volgen .

    Natural talent. Don’t need mouth gymnastics to produce a pleasing sound. Don’t need specific breathing training to be comfortable singing. It just flows out of them. Even at 11 she has not had much training yet.

  • @1wannabee1
    @1wannabee1 3 года назад +8

    This is Amira just 2 years after winning HGT and you can clearly 'hear' her improvement in her performance AND her 'confidence'. Its crucial to note that Amira is being accompanied only by mainly an organ (which I understand is being played by her dad). Singers'performers like Amira have this 'thing' where they simply go to a place only they know when they sing. If you watch Amir's eyes at approx 3.00, you can clearly see this. Then, at the end, you see Amira 'come back' and she offers that lovely smile of hers. She really IS something else and I wish her all the very best in her future life. Tc Amira Willihagen.

    I agree! There is no other singer of Ave Maria by Gomez. Sung by Amira Willighagen when she was 11 at Christmas in church that comes even close to this performance. Her timing, sings from the heart, pitch perfect, volume increase in latter part & sings the humming part with open mouth (so it blends with the song volume perfectly). WOW! ❤

    Thanks @Vocal Splendor,
    with your comment you paid a great tribute to this little angel without wings.
    Amira has great faith in God and in that little church, that day, she wanted to pay homage to his Mother, to thank him for the wonderful talent she gave her.
    For this reason, in addition to the excellent singing technique learned alone, without a teacher, there was something more: there was all the love and faith that came out of the small, big, heart of this special little girl. and blessed. Not all have
    But the miracle did not stop there, in addition to this wonderful "Ave Maria" by Gomez, little Amira that day, in that church, also sang this exciting and moving version of "Sancta Maria", listen to it and react if you want: only chills and tears: ruclips.net/video/FYKpVhDPBC8/видео.html

    Ave Maria - Gounod sung in Iceland at Christmas 2015., O Mio Babbino Caro sung in full with Andre RIeu in 2014 at the age of 10 just 7 months after winning Holland's Got Talent. Another performance that will leave you stunned.
    Amira was a surprise performer not listed on the program. She performed that one number 2 times, once on Friday then on Saturday in front of almost 15,000 people each night. Standing ovation with much of the audience left in tears. Make sure you select Andre Rieus channel post. The best sound and visuals. Would love to hear your comments on that performance and the differences in just a few months. Amira is amazing. Amira and Angelina and you have to consider the third A, Alma Deutscher pianist, violinist and composer. You could also watch Duet of The Stepsisters from Almas' Opera Cinderella. The three As. Maybe it has something to do with Cosmic Alignment by all this young talent springing forth is just amazing.

    What a lovely , lovely reaction Valerie . I'd like to make a confession here . I am kind of addicted to Amira's singing , but I realise now that it goes for your reaction on her as well , because of your professional view I get the feeling of being taken by the hand and led through this adventure that is named Amira . By watching your video's I have learned what to look for and where to listen to. But above all , your emotions that are being triggered during the sessions are priceless !! And I can tell that it is interactive , because it triggers mine as well. So it was really enoying that your last reaction on her "Holland's got Talent" version of " O mio Babbino " was blocked for The Netherlands due to copyright issues probably , so I couldn't comment. I have managed to avoid that blockade though , but to comment was not an option. Since you'd like to know what video you want to be recomended , here's a suggestion I'd like to make . It's the full version aria of "O mio Babbino Caro" she did on june 2014 ( 10 years old then was she ) with André Rieu and his Johan Strauss orchestra on the "Het Vrijthof " square in Maastricht The Netherlands with more than 15000 attenders not including those standing in the surrounding streets. That this video has allready more over 51 million viewers on RUclips is telling, because it is a "must see". I really hope you will find time to react on it Valerie and I'm really looking forward to it . Here's the link of that video ( mind that this is the one with more than 51 million viewers , since there are two versions of which one with a minor quality. ) Link : ruclips.net/video/s9PQ7qPkluM/видео.html

  • @passqualecaiazza7728
    @passqualecaiazza7728 3 года назад +6

    I understand this Ave Maria by Gomez is not that old. Maybe about 20 plus years ago, A comment left in the original performance of this one, was from Gomez brother. He stated that his Brother had wrote it just before he past away around 2000. He also, stated his brother would have loved to hear Amira sing this song. I believe Amira finds the meaning of the songs before she sings them and then gets you to feel the song with her. To many young people that sing this kind of music sing the words, but do not know what they mean. One example is one that did we'll for herself and sang O Mio Babbino Caro at 9 and I saw video clip of her singing the same song at 12 or 13 on some kind of morning show. The host told her how beautiful and then asked if she knew what it meant. Her answer was no. I will not name the singer, I don't like to do that. I believe with Amira she has the words translated into a language she knows, so she knows what it is about. This one she knows Ave Maria is a prayer. I have heard many version and just thought it was just beautiful music. It was not tell Amira I found out, that it was a prayer. That is why some sounded better than others, knowing the meaning. This performance with her family made it more special. Even with the mix up with Mom. If my kid sounded like that I would have been nervous and still at aw what her voice produced. Now I heard also, that they found out, that a Grandfather or great Grandfather did sing Opera. I believe from the Moms side. Maybe it rubbed off. Also, her running marathons early on helps with the lungs. Great reaction to Amira. All songs are special, don't feel bad to work your way up. I enjoy all the new has much as the older performances.

    Hi Valerie from Australia. On Sunday my wife and I had our neighbours in for a BBQ. Weeks earlier at one of theirs I had told them about Amira and furnished them with a USB key of a number of her performances to view. Apart from loving Amira I solemnly believe her Nessun Dorma @ ruclips.net/video/imsX4ZanQJs/видео.html [Pretoria, South Africa Dec 2017 @ 13 years] is superior to Luciano Pavarotti's. On this occasion the wife begged to differ which I respected. Lucianno for me has no stage craft for he simply stands there motionless and sings. Andrea Bocelli has an excuse because he is blind. Even then in his duet's with Sarah Brightman she shows him immense affection which endears them to their audience. On the other hands Amira is deeply focused on and lives this song. Look at her facial expressions and the fact that she closes eyes as she sings which brings emphasis. The song is her. She brings so much emotion that often she tears your heart open and causes the tears to flow. Either way I feel Amira's voice is simply the best on the planet because of the power she brings, the highness of the pitch she achieves, the control she exerts and her clarity of delivery. Amira doesn't simply have fans as they all really love her. I would love you to react to this performance by her and give your thoughts as to whether she is in fact the best of all time.

    I found an unstructured version of Amira Willighagen on RUclips singing NESSUN DORMA. ruclips.net/video/A-b-fDrkUT8/видео.html. It appears to be filmed without an orchestra, and I can only guess it is in a dressage arena at some sort of luncheon/party. There was no introduction, and the lighting is cut off about halfway through the performance. Watch Amira fight back and finish strong. I love this about her.

    Wonderful reaction. I love the choices you have made of her songs. I recommend this particular version of this song as its sound was corrected: ruclips.net/video/sNyaCY-CEX8/видео.html She was 12, singing in Italian in Italy. She once said the hardest thing she ever did was sing in Italian before an Italian audience. I think it was one of her best performances, a little unexpected miracle like Gomez Ave Maria you just did.

    Hi Valerie, glad to hear you're insights to this beautiful performance. It's been a while since I last listened to this video. But, when I come back, I am simply blown away again with how good Amira's voice is. How emotional it makes me feel. Another one you need to react to. As you have already watched Amira's Audition for HGT. It would be great if you could check out her performance of it a few months later. One of the things for her winning HGT is, she got a Masterclass with Dutch Violinist/Conductor Andre Rieu. You need to react to her performance of O Mia Bambino Caro with Andre Rieu's Concert at .

I sent her an email to let her know that her God Given Voice was directly responsible for my five year recovery from bi-polar depression. I have many suggestions for your reaction. One of my favorites is her singing, "Amazing Grace". https: //youtu. be/7PJWRKkMpHM The arrangement with the Sympathy Orchestrs, a special instrument combined with a Choir is a highly emotiinal experienceI! I look frward to your reaction io this video. I have many more Amira videos to recommend.

    I declare myself to be a fan of Miss Valerie’s music reactions. I am also addicted to Amira Willighagen. This list is for Miss Valerie. It is a proposal - sequentially selected- of Amira’s performances from which Miss Valerie may want to choose. All are excellent candidates for her interesting and knowledgeable reactions. None of these concerts have been reacted to.
    Hope this saves her some time.

    I have heard more recent live recordings of her, and unfortunately she has lost a lot of the amazing qualities her voice had a few years ago.
    In the video we see here, her voice is spinning, brilliant, has great resonance, a fantastic and spinning vibrato, great tonal qualities that show a lot of dome in her resonance.
    Now she sounds very different. Her vibrato is MUCH slower, on the verge of wobbling. The sound has less dome, less shimmer and spin, less brilliance, less resonance.
    I wonder why that happened. This performance here is simply stunning. And it sounds so natural and effortless.

    • @VocalSplendorStudios
      @VocalSplendorStudios  Год назад

      Sadly, I have a agree. I think she stated to sing more popera and not true opera. The vibrato is like a boiling pot of water, you have to allow it in, it can't be forced. I'm guessing her teacher is the cause of the change. It's too bad. She could have trained in opera and pop if she had a teacher who could help her keep the styles straight.

      ​@@VocalSplendorStudiosI remember famous American contralto Marilyn Horne telling about her own singing when she was young. And her father have her the crucial advice that she had a natural, intuitive vocal placement and that she should never let a teacher mess around with that natural placement. And I believe it's similar with Amira. At this stage of her life she did so many things intuitively right. Her voice is just streaming out of her, no inhibition in that phonation, great use of resonance and formant frequencies, portamento, everything is naturally set up to sing. She shows singing qualities that most singers struggle their entire career achieving, and she just had it. With the right guidance she would have been able to become an impactful and world class classical singer. There are quite a few other very young kids singing classically pretty well. But THIS is far beyond them all.

      Ich würde mir vielleicht mal ihr Video von diesem Jahr 2023 ansehen bei dem Sie, nur begleitet von einer Orgel, die ihr Vater spielt, „Gesu Bambino“ singt. Eine schöne Aufnahme, sie hat noch ihren Mantel an und es sieht so aus, als wenn man sie nur mal so schnell gebeten hätte, etwas zu singen.

      I first want to say Jackie did good for herself and I did purchase that cd and 2 others when I first discovered Amira. Jackie was ok to me. But once Amira's cd arrived I could not listen to Jackie. She is good, but not my taste. I gave the CDs away after two plays each. Amira I play everyday. That's because she hits my heart. Before Jackie I would listen to Charlotte Church again. With Amira that will not happen anytime soon.

      ruclips.net/video/_7jVwHUId3k/видео.html
      she is more similar to Willingham. I am not big on opera, but an aria here and there is OK. I prefer adult singers for many reasons. But do find wunderkind talent to often be interesting as to HOW they do what they do . In the complex music and approach that Angelina Jordan shows for more Jazzy stuff, at age 7 through 12, it was especially interesting. Easier to listen to , even if not a jazz freak, as I am not. It is the emotional delivery that is uncanny. Emanne is very good, but way more operatic styling than is Evancho...whose Crossover sound is much more appealing to me from back then. Healing.

      @@yousurf374 I love Angelina Jordan too! Both, Angelina and Amira are top young singers today. Each on its own different type of music (popular versus classical). Comparisons between them are unfeasible (meaningless) because they are singers of completely different types of music. Both are equally excellent in the type of music they sing.
      I heard all performances of Emanne Beasha. Very good. Another Amira on the making? We'll see.
      An older singer that I personally like a lot is Glennis Grace. She has been invited to special commemorations for Whitney Houston's death ( her voice has an incredible similarity with Whitney).
