Look up her version of Ave Maria Gomez, she was just 11 years old and although a fancam video you get to see her mouth and neck doing the high powerful notes. Also a beautiful song and a performance on just some lausy PA equipment you still can hear her perfect voice.
Bob, she describes much of her backstory in her audtion for Holland's Got Talent at age 10, I believe, in her converations with the judges. She then sings the Opera O Mio Babbino Caro in near perfection. Then a year later she did an enore at Andre Reiu's annual concert at Maastricht. Another Charlotte Church, Jackie Evancho, Angelina Jordan type. She will blow your 70s mind.
Great reaction, Bob! Right from the start, with the bagpipe band parading, the huge stage, the full orchestra, the full choir taking their places, the clothes, the pomp and circumstance, you can already tell that a queen is about to perform. Amira only 13, but already a shining queen. She stands out from the other sopranos because she always uses her natural, authentic voice, rather than the artificial, stilted voice that sopranos are taught in conservatories.
I can guarantee that whichever Amira video you had selected, you would have been blown away. This concert was in 2017. Amira was 13, and had already sung two opera arias, Nessun Dorma, and the Flower Duet by Delibes, with Corlea Botha. Both vids are available to view. She started her tv singing career on Holland's got talent, age 9. She was self taught up to that point, but blew everyone away. Is it a spoiler to say she won the competition? Following that show she started to receive coaching, which polished her natural abilities. There are a couple of video's where the camera turns away to get audience reaction at the wrong moment, but there are also the shots that linger, you can see it appears effortless. I subscribed so I can follow your journey. Its always a joy to see someone discover this remarkable talent.
A bit of background: Amira was born in Holland - her mother was South African. You can get her full background in Wikipedia, but here a few details that it won't give you: This performance was at the second annual "Classics is Groot" (Classics are great) concert held by Coleske Artists in July, 2017, at the Moreleta Park auditorium at Montecasino, which is an entertainment centre in the South African Capital, Pretoria - It seats about 7500. The whole concert had 31 items, of which "Amazing Grace" was the 19th. She also sang "Nessun Dorma" - which Pavarotti made famous - as item #14, and the Flower Duet from the French opera "Lakme" with the South African singer Corlea Botha as item # 15. Both these are on the internet, as is the finale of the concert, "My WAy" sung by all the principal singers including Amira. It was put on DVD - SA is Region 2. The DVD is no longer available, but Coleske has been putting some performance out in enhanced resolution on You Tube in the last month or so. Amira had signed a three-year contract with Coleske Artists early in 2017, after her contract with SONY Masterworks had run out - three years is the maximum duration of a contract with a minor in both The Netherlands and South Africa. She had migrated to South Africa with her mother and her elder Brother in January 2018, and now has dual citizenship. Her contract Coleske ran out in February 2020, but of course Covid 19 was just getting going then, so she took no further contracts, but experimented with "Streaming concerts" in conjunction with the Atterbury theatre in Pretoria, under her own "Gelukskinders" label - As you will discover, half her earnings go to her Charity foundation "Gelukskinders" - which she launched in The Netherlands when she was 10; it funds the construction and maintenance for 10 years of school playgrounds in South Africa.
If Amira had continued those high notes longer she might very well have flown up to Heaven. What a very very beautiful voice and a very beautiful person to match. Thank you for your super reaction. God bless.
Amira is an awesome singer. She was in Hollands Got Talent at age 9. She sang an opera song with no singing training... she has a lot of songs out there though.
Amira is just a world of her own.. She is so calm and so still in her presence onstage.. It was there at her audition and her other HGT performances which is not what one expects from a nine year old... I honestly don't know any other young singer who so inhabits her performances that nothing around her throws her out of it... She said as a child that singing is like walking to her and that when she sang she no longer felt like a child... And I think we see that ourselves in her performances... As well as how she obviously perfects every song in detail before she performs it.. she is extremely professional.
Congratulations for discovering Amira, my favorite singer, and thank you for this great reaction! Now you have a lot of catching up to do, from 2013 when Amira won Holland's Got Talent at the age of 9 until today. She was born in the Netherlands on March 27, 2004 and emigrated to South Africa in January 2018. Today she is studying BMus (Bachelor of Music) at the University of Pretoria and is performing on a regular basis. In my view, her voice is one of the most beautiful soprano voices in the world. Greetings and love from Germany, Sabine
Helo friend . Im suscribed too . At almost the end you said : " I love this girl " And you will love her much more when you hear her incredible career and her wonderful life story . Self taugh until she won Holland got talent 2013 at the age of 9 years singing opera . You ll cant believe how a child of 9 years old gets a voice so powerful and a perfect technic without singing lessons .The performance with Andre Rieu at 10 years old is incredible . There are so much wonders , so much masterpieces that you will discover with the guide of our fans . The phantom of the opera is of 2023 .Amira was 19 years old ( actually she is 20 years old ) . Since her 10 years old she has one fundation ( Gelukskinders ) destiny to help to poor children of South Afrika , building playgrounds in poor zones of South Afrika , donating half of her gainers to fundation .
there are dozens of incredible Amira performances. My personal favorite is the Gomez version of Ave Maria when she was 10, but everyone should check out her Holland's Got Talent version of O Mio Babbino at age 9 (self taught, by the way).
Thanks to you Bob and Thomas for the suggestion. I am surprised that you're not acquainted with Amira's contribution to classical singing. She's had a large following since 2013 so I guess you've been reacting to an array of different genres of more modern music. The comments on here will show how many experts are so happy that yet more are on a journey of discovery, revealing such a beautiful spirit. humble and quite unique. Cheers from the UK.
Great reaction, I suscribed. Your Dutch pronunciation is definitely on point! It's a good idea to listen to Amira's rendition of The Phantom of the Opera, with Ruhan du Toit, but there are a lot of other wonderful performances by her on YT...
Honestly... She had that effortlessness at age 9 when from since age 7 when she taught herself to sing opera arias and auditioned for Holland's got Talent aged 9 in 2013. She went on to win it that year with a powerful performance of Nessun Dorma. After that she did have a singing teacher... but most of what we hear today is merely her work on what she already had effortlessly in performance aged 9. Quite astonishing to watch that audition ...
Amira was thirteen when she performed this and Nessum Dorma and Flower duet with Corlea Botha , She moved to South Africa in 2018. She is presently attending university in Pretoria and is twenty.. Why bagpipes it was written by and Englishman as a poem for his congregation after finding God in a storm at sea. You have many videos of Amira to catch up on. You should start with her winning Hollands got Talent age nine when she hadn't had any training but taught herself by watching opera videos on Tube.
She is very talented. I also like Amazing Grace for funerals. A friend of mind died a couple years ago. The National Guard played Amazing Grace at his funeral. Very good. She is 13 in this video. Also there is a Dutch girl, Emma Kok. She is 15 and sing Viola. She sings in French, also very good.
Do yourself a huge favor and research her as a person. She is one of the most remarkably beautiful people I have ever come across. She is very strong in her Christian faith and doesn't just talk the talk but, walks the walk. She is a very caring, giving and humble person that has so much God given talent that it can't help but blow your mind. In her short (now 20 year) life the Pope named her Humanitarian of the Year, the Opera world has named her Soprano of the Year and she made the Olympic team as a middle distance runner for the 2020 Olympics (not there due to the covid lockdowns). This is a rabbit hole you won't regret going into.
If I tell you that I just saw pure unadulterated pleasure on your face does that tell how I much I enjoyed your reaction? Amira is of the very highest calibre of lyric soprano performing anywhere in the world today! That is a huge statement I know but by the time this young lady reaches her prime I doubt she will have many if any, real competitors... Amira is only around twenty as I write this and has been a world-reknowned performer since the age of nine and so she is rightly a veteran at twenty! I have to tell you that is much more to this young lady apart from her prodigious musical talent and you will not regret it if you spend a lot of time researching her life in some detail! As for recommendations on what to listen to next all I can say is that everything I have heard from her is world-class jaw-dropping stuff! Honestly Amira defies the most comprehensive thesaurus when it comes to trying to find adjectives to describe her... I would simply say that she is in a class of her own... Amira has hundreds of millions of people all around the globe who love her and they love her like she is family... A true phenomenon of our times!
This hymn expresses the faith of John Newton, which Amira would also claim for herself. Please do Phantom of the Opera (2023 video). This is the most dramatic I've heard, and if you like Amira's high notes you'll certainly like the ending in this. Amira also sang her most beautiful Nessun Dorma at this concert, and also the Flower Duet with Corlea Botha. She has fans across the world who love her and we can promise you great experiences to come! Amira is 20 now and in university in Pretoria, near her favourite singing venues. Thanks for your lovely reaction. Best wishes, Joe. Ps. Have subscribed.
G’day Mate. To start with. You nailed the pronunciation of her name. So many people (rightfully) react to her, that I created a suggested generic playlist, so just skip any you’ve seen already. Sadly one of the links is now dead, in it she said how she love’s singing opera more than she loves chocolate, which cracked everyone up. You really do need to start at the beginning, the links are below. Amira Willinghagens Viewing order As a sort of preface to my suggested song list, I’ll say this. She only had the 3 performances, in Hollands Got Talent, and I have never seen anyone improve so much from performance to the next. If you think the first one is good (and you can’t help but will believe it is), then just wait and see the joyful series of surprises that are in store for you for her next two appearances. She did have lessons after the first appearance and it clearly shows. Holland’s Got Talent Ep1 Just remember, it’s about who has talent, not who is perfect. She does have a few phrases/breath control issues, but it’s still a huge delight to listen to. And the reasons why it’s so delightful will soon became very clear as to why. I have never seen so many truly and honestly GOBSMACKED reactions from judges before. Their jaws were literally dropping in sheer and absolutely honest disbelief and in (very pleasant) surprise too. Her calm poise is also a wonder to behold as well. And she was only Nine years old. Also, watch out for when they show the shocked draw dropping reaction from another contestant backstage. It’s priceless in its own way too. ruclips.net/video/NHe0u1pF7qg/видео.html Holland’s Got Talent Ep2 At this stage, she has had a few lessons, and it truly shows. The improvement is so great, that this is still my favourite rendition of this song from her, to date. I can’t stress just how much better her singing and her breath control is here, it’s a major step up. ruclips.net/video/FUnrLMvpQLk/видео.html Holland’s Got Talent Ep3 This has two parts. The performance and the results. I’m having difficulty finding an English translation version for the 2nd part. But you get the gist anyway. The second part also includes a spontaneous encore performance as well. She also ramped it up once more again too. So once again, her singing here is even better than the last one. ruclips.net/video/dy00lD2bYT0/видео.html Encore ruclips.net/video/ILoC_ZmvBEs/видео.html Here are two Documentaries that are well worth the watch. And it will give other video suggestions too. And what she chose to do with her money at such a young age. is heart meltingly sweet. I would suggest you react to this first video. She actually speaks it in English, not bad considering it’s not her first language. She is cheeky and she explains very well indeed about her pure joy in music. And her wrap up way of explaining that, actually had the interviewers all crack and laugh of camera, not at her mind you, but in surprise at her open and honest answer. It’s a very charming short little video indeed, and it explains a lot, despite its short length. The next two aren’t so much for you to react to per say (as they are about a 1/2 hr each), but they will give you other valuable incites into this ever remarkable young girl/lady. ruclips.net/video/UJ3u5w9NYjQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hHvDyd8Txd8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/vN-DOKdIaxU/видео.html Andre Rieu concert This is the same song that she sung on her first audition, but it’s the full version so much better, and reportedly, Andre matches the orchestra with her natural pace. It certainly seams that way, as I’m inclined to believe it. It’s quite frankly her best rendition of this song to date, in my opinion that is. ruclips.net/video/s9PQ7qPkluM/видео.html Royal Albert Hall. Oh Holly Night. There simply aren’t any professional videos of this, but her voice is still “Ringingly” clear though. ruclips.net/video/nensr4i-XpU/видео.html Amazing Grace. (This has to be the definitive World version of this hymn, it’s simply that good) ruclips.net/video/7PJWRKkMpHM/видео.html Flower Duet. Again this is the definitive edition of this song ruclips.net/video/Kk1l84UW1pI/видео.html Gabriel’s song Amira learns each song Phonetically, that’s why she does this Swedish song so well, or so a Swedish reactor happily and willingly concedes. ruclips.net/video/m5unawKpysw/видео.html Your Love ruclips.net/video/wnl-jEhnf6M/видео.html There is so so much more. Enjoy the journey.
DANKIE BOB VIR 'N PRAGTIGE REAKSIE VAN ONSE ENGEL AMIRA ~ HIERDIE WEERGAWE VAN AMAZING GRACE IS DIE BESTE WAT EK NOG GEHOOR HET ~ HEMELSE KLANKE - 777 BOER BEN

Mostly, she was self-taught 13 years old. She taught herself to sing opera from utube then entered and won Holland's got talent at 9 years old. Watch her original song "in the star's "it's for her deceased grandmother 🎉
Exceptional rendition, as usual with Amira....And I agree your criticism because , unfortunately, it happens too often that the cameramen change shots at the wrong time which is frustating and regrettable...🐢🐢
Amera is all self taught by watching and listening to tutorials on RUclips mainlyb ecause her brother played violi alon withe he MOM,her DAD played piano .she didnt have an instrument so she studied an sang opera...............NOW WE HAVE A GIFT FROM GOD BTW HER AGEON THIS RECORDING WAS 13
Amira is amazing and she is really young here, but my favorite is Sissel. Here is a short version (1min 39sec) ruclips.net/video/zaTMmDggMXQ/видео.html were Sissel sings Amazing Grace acapella. Worth a listen!

Not classically trained she taught herself. After winning holland's got talent she did get a little bit of help with breath, but that's about it.
Great first reaction Bob and I have subscribed too! You have just discovered the most beloved soprano of all time and Amira is still only 20 years old, studying her bachelor of Music (classical) and conducting at university in South Africa (where she now lives)! This is a BIG concert and Amira shines in them, but her voice is SO GOOD that some of my favourite performances are simple phone recordings such as Ave Maria (Gomez) at age 11 at her local church Christmas concert (685K views) ruclips.net/video/n66udAMmCDM/видео.html that is a musical treasure for all time! Also Gesu Bambino at 18 with only her Dad playing the organ in an empty church is beyond divine! ruclips.net/video/c5MiyNTZKHY/видео.html No auto tune ever needed with Amira! Cheers from Australia!
![Angelic Perfection! [Amira Willighagen Reaction - Live In Concert - Amazing Grace]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4vzQF-N5A2U/mqdefault.jpg)
She is the best to me
Look up her version of Ave Maria Gomez, she was just 11 years old and although a fancam video you get to see her mouth and neck doing the high powerful notes. Also a beautiful song and a performance on just some lausy PA equipment you still can hear her perfect voice.
She is like Sissel,an Angel from God!She was 13 years old,just Amazing!!
Amira ist ein Phänomen. Alle Lieder sind fantastisch.Sie singt seit sie neun Jahre alt ist ❤. Ich freue mich auf ihre nächsten Kommentare!
Fantástica Amira ❤
Wow! What an amazing gift of a voice. ❤
Bob, she describes much of her backstory in her audtion for Holland's Got Talent at age 10, I believe, in her converations with the judges. She then sings the Opera O Mio Babbino Caro in near perfection. Then a year later she did an enore at Andre Reiu's annual concert at Maastricht. Another Charlotte Church, Jackie Evancho, Angelina Jordan type. She will blow your 70s mind.
Look up Andre Rieu Amira. Such a treat!
Great reaction, Bob! Right from the start, with the bagpipe band parading, the huge stage, the full orchestra, the full choir taking their places, the clothes, the pomp and circumstance, you can already tell that a queen is about to perform. Amira only 13, but already a shining queen. She stands out from the other sopranos because she always uses her natural, authentic voice, rather than the artificial, stilted voice that sopranos are taught in conservatories.
Well said!
Subscribed & Liked; please keep Amira on your regular playlist. Thank you Bob.
you are listening to one of the best concerts of Amira W.
I can guarantee that whichever Amira video you had selected, you would have been blown away. This concert was in 2017. Amira was 13, and had already sung two opera arias, Nessun Dorma, and the Flower Duet by Delibes, with Corlea Botha. Both vids are available to view.

She does such a wonderful rendition! Thanks for sharing this. I haven't seen her perform since she was much younger.

Yes, Emma Kok is 16 and extraordinary, especially singing Dancing on the Stars. Like Amira, she speaks fluent English.
Do yourself a huge favor and research her as a person. She is one of the most remarkably beautiful people I have ever come across.

Isnt she adorable? 💙
G’day Mate.
To start with. You nailed the pronunciation of her name.
So many people (rightfully) react to her, that I created a suggested generic playlist, so just skip any you’ve seen already.
Sadly one of the links is now dead, in it she said how she love’s singing opera more than she loves chocolate, which cracked everyone up.
You really do need to start at the beginning, the links are below.
Amira Willinghagens Viewing order
As a sort of preface to my suggested song list, I’ll say this. She only had the 3 performances, in Hollands Got Talent, and I have never seen anyone improve so much from performance to the next.
If you think the first one is good (and you can’t help but will believe it is), then just wait and see the joyful series of surprises that are in store for you for her next two appearances.
She did have lessons after the first appearance and it clearly shows.
Holland’s Got Talent Ep1
Just remember, it’s about who has talent, not who is perfect. She does have a few phrases/breath control issues, but it’s still a huge delight to listen to. And the reasons why it’s so delightful will soon became very clear as to why.
I have never seen so many truly and honestly GOBSMACKED reactions from judges before.
Their jaws were literally dropping in sheer and absolutely honest disbelief and in (very pleasant) surprise too.
Her calm poise is also a wonder to behold as well. And she was only Nine years old.
Also, watch out for when they show the shocked draw dropping reaction from another contestant backstage. It’s priceless in its own way too.
ruclips.net/video/NHe0u1pF7qg/видео.html
Holland’s Got Talent Ep2
At this stage, she has had a few lessons, and it truly shows.
The improvement is so great, that this is still my favourite rendition of this song from her, to date.
I can’t stress just how much better her singing and her breath control is here, it’s a major step up.
ruclips.net/video/FUnrLMvpQLk/видео.html
Holland’s Got Talent Ep3
This has two parts. The performance and the results. I’m having difficulty finding an English translation version for the 2nd part. But you get the gist anyway. The second part also includes a spontaneous encore performance as well.
She also ramped it up once more again too.
So once again, her singing here is even better than the last one.
ruclips.net/video/dy00lD2bYT0/видео.html
Encore
ruclips.net/video/ILoC_ZmvBEs/видео.html
Here are two Documentaries that are well worth the watch. And it will give other video suggestions too.
And what she chose to do with her money at such a young age. is heart meltingly sweet.
I would suggest you react to this first video. She actually speaks it in English, not bad considering it’s not her first language.
She is cheeky and she explains very well indeed about her pure joy in music. And her wrap up way of explaining that, actually had the interviewers all crack and laugh of camera, not at her mind you, but in surprise at her open and honest answer. It’s a very charming short little video indeed, and it explains a lot, despite its short length.
The next two aren’t so much for you to react to per say (as they are about a 1/2 hr each), but they will give you other valuable incites into this ever remarkable young girl/lady.

Andre Rieu concert
This is the same song that she sung on her first audition, but it’s the full version so much better, and reportedly, Andre matches the orchestra with her natural pace. It certainly seams that way, as I’m inclined to believe it.
It’s quite frankly her best rendition of this song to date, in my opinion that is.

Royal Albert Hall. Oh Holly Night.
There simply aren’t any professional videos of this, but her voice is still “Ringingly” clear though.

Amazing Grace.
(This has to be the definitive World version of this hymn, it’s simply that good)

Flower Duet.
Again this is the definitive edition of this song

Gabriel’s song
Amira learns each song Phonetically, that’s why she does this Swedish song so well, or so a Swedish reactor happily and willingly concedes.

There is so so much more. Enjoy the journey.
DANKIE BOB VIR 'N PRAGTIGE REAKSIE VAN ONSE ENGEL AMIRA ~ HIERDIE WEERGAWE VAN AMAZING GRACE IS DIE BESTE WAT EK NOG GEHOOR HET ~ HEMELSE KLANKE - 777 BOER BEN
Mostly, she was self-taught 13 years old. She taught herself to sing opera from utube then entered and won Holland's got talent at 9 years old. Watch her original song "in the star's "it's for her deceased grandmother 🎉
“In the Stars” is my favorite and so beautiful!
the next difficult concert is The Phantom of the Opera
Exceptional rendition, as usual with Amira....And I agree your criticism because , unfortunately, it happens too often that the cameramen change shots at the wrong time which is frustating and regrettable...🐢🐢
Amera is all self taught by watching and listening to tutorials on RUclips mainlyb ecause her brother played violi alon withe he MOM,her DAD played piano .she didnt have an instrument so she studied an sang opera...............NOW WE HAVE A GIFT FROM GOD
BTW HER AGEON THIS RECORDING WAS 13
Amira is amazing and she is really young here, but my favorite is Sissel. Here is a short version (1min 39sec) ruclips.net/video/zaTMmDggMXQ/видео.html were Sissel sings Amazing Grace acapella. Worth a listen!
Not classically trained she taught herself. After winning holland's got talent she did get a little bit of help with breath, but that's about it.
BTW HER AGE ON THIS PERFORMANE WAS13
Great first reaction Bob and I have subscribed too! You have just discovered the most beloved soprano of all time and Amira is still only 20 years old, studying her bachelor of Music (classical) and conducting at university in South Africa (where she now lives)! This is a BIG concert and Amira shines in them, but her voice is SO GOOD that some of my favourite performances are simple phone recordings such as Ave Maria (Gomez) at age 11 at her local church Christmas concert (685K views) ruclips.net/video/n66udAMmCDM/видео.html that is a musical treasure for all time! Also Gesu Bambino at 18 with only her Dad playing the organ in an empty church is beyond divine! ruclips.net/video/c5MiyNTZKHY/видео.html
No auto tune ever needed with Amira!
Cheers from Australia!
she is Dutch and was 14 years old there
This concert took place in July 2017 when Amira was just 13 years old. And she has both the Dutch and the South African citizenship.
