#TauriReacts #EmmaKok #DancingOnTheStars
Shortly after this performance Emma was asked if she knows how many people are already in tears because of her performances with André Rieu. "Well, I don't know" she replied "but we are doing 90 concerts in a year and each of them has at least a 10,000 audience, so do your math". By the way: Emma has done much more songs and performances over the last 4 years, most of them are live. That's her craft: she is an outstanding live performer able to convey the emotions to her audience. And André Rieu? Well, after he heard Emma sing for the first time during an audition in his studio in Maastricht (NL), in 2023, and learned about her condition, he decided to do what ever he could to make it possible for Emma to live her dream, taking account with her limitations: being a performing singer. It turned out to be a "win-win" decision, because where Emma comes she immediately steals the hearts of the people. Next year (2025) she will be on tour with him again and.... (again: thanks to André Rieu) on 21 October Emma, then 17 years of age, will have her own concert in the Royal Concert Hall in Amsterdam. The venue was sold out only 3 hours(!) after Emma made the announcement on Dutch national tv. It is fair to say that we see something special happening here. Lots of information about Emma (including interviews with good quality English subtitles) you can find on this RUclips channel: RogerC. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Sorry it was on Instagram
This is one amazing woman here Tauri. She is a gift that the WORLD does not deserve. Her voice is one that just encompasses your whole being and when she is finished you are left as a person who's emotions were toyed with and taken somewhere by her. There are so many songs out there I would love to see her cover as well as having Tjeerd also writing for her he seems to have known Emma before she was born based on the performance of 'Dancing on the Stars' he wrote it 20+ years ago and shelved it. She found it and asked Tjeerd if she could do it and along with Andre they created a masterpiece of music. I can see Emma performing classics like, Titanium, Chandelier, and possibly a duet with Loren Allred singing Never Enough, just to name a few. We all know she can hit the powerful notes and hold them I have also found songs that are softer and I am sure she could kill those as well. She has a long career in music as long as her illness remains controlled. Thank you once again for this, I was not dry eyes either so do not worry about anything today because we were blessed to see this.
Thanks for this reaction and for the intro which adds a great deal. Like you say, we absolutely should not simply pity Emma for her illness but admire her talent, and not just her singing talent. You mentioned how well spoken Emma is. We should pay tribute to how smart she is. Note that English is Emma's third language after Dutch and German, and she speaks all three fluently. But we have to also consider, she is strolling out in front of 12500 people, unnerving in itself for most, she is about to sing a demanding song (also in her third language), and she speaks clearly, in a totally relaxed manner and without fault or hesitation - and she is just 16!! Andre Rieu affectionately calls Emma a 'stage beast' and so she is.
A couple of observations that I love in this performance. As she winds up for the second powerful chorus she half smiles with a kind of mischievous childlike "I'm coming to get you" look. Also at the end, that smile of satisfaction she's almost giving to herself. This is something Emma seems to do every time, except where the performance is in a deeply respectful setting.
One further comment on Emma's health condition. She discusses it openly, not for pity. Emma's Gastrostars foundation has 3 objectives; the first being to raise awareness of this little known disease hence she talks about it at every opportunity.
❤
Just when you think she can’t belt it out more, she does it again!
Tauri, good to see you again! Some day I'm going to be able to hear Emma sing without blubbing! But it hasn't happened yet. She is the bravest person I've ever encountered. Have just watched a biographical video of her having her tubes changed on the operating table. It's an agonising experience which she undergoes every five months without anaesthetics to protect her voice. At 78 I've undergone some painful operations, but nothing like she suffers voluntarily twice a year.
Great reaction Tauri, as always.
Finally, someone who appreciates not only Emma's talent, but also the fact that this song, is very well written/composed. A salient detail is that Tjeerd Oosterhuis (the writer), had this song in his closet for years, but didn't know who he would want to give it to. Until he discovered Emma's talent. His reaction was immediately; “Yes,...this is that talent!”
Though Tjeerd was already a good friend of André Rieu, he presented it to him and the latter in turn presented it to Emma. When Emma listened to the song for the first time, she was immediately sold, and this performance is the result.
She has a wonderful voice and the fact that she is only 16 years old makes me curious about her further development as a singer.
Emma Kok is soooooooooo amazing, her voice is so beautiful, soft and emotional......her dress is so beautiful and of course she is soooooooooo beautiful I am male I am 34 years old and I am not ashamed to say I start crying...... If you don't cry you DON'T have a HEART Emma you behind believe

This song is "Taylor made" for Emma by Tjeerd Oosterhuys who is a composer and Emma's producer .
Wonderful reaction. The introduction on both songs adds so much to the emotional experience. Viola was about determination to breakdown that box you spoke of and the tears were for her fighting for that goal. This song was different. It is a victory theme! Tears of pure joy. Can you just imagine 22 hours a day on those pumps, how much she must look forward to those two hours free of them. Amazing young lady.
She’s already responsible for 3 of the best live performances I have ever seen. Can’t wait to see what she does in the future.❤️ especially being responsible for the cure to her disease!
Thank you for playing dancing on the stars. Emma is absolutely fantastic. I shed tears over her singing every day.
I own all her music and watch her hundreds of times thank you.
It feels like Voila was the struggle to brake through the clouds and doing so, while this is floating on top of them. Not sure if that makes sense but it does to me.
At the moment they have the 6 Christmas Concerts in Maastricht in the Netherlands (hometown of Andre) , Emma sings "Let it Go" out of "Frozen" among others. So beautiful and touching.
Every concert about 12500 people in the audience.
yip sunday we are going to watch Emma and the Christmas concert.
@@dolfy1962 Enjoy😁 Friday will be my turn😄
This is soooooo beautiful! Emma is definitely in my absolute favourite female vocalists. I always let some tears like only Simone and Fabi can make me cry, she is stunningly good! What a pure talent. I hope she don't forget to work on own music, she has only two own songs both in Dutch, she deserves a complete album! I keep following her and i want to see maybe André Rieu with Emma in Maastricht.
Woman! How can we not be moved by such ease, range, and emotion in the lyrics, with this perfect musical arrangement by André Rieu! And she is only 16 years old! What a powerful voice! You know, when I found your channel, in your reaction to Amira with the song Amen, I went to your old list of reactions and looked for more reactions like these, and I found that moment when you dedicated Monday to the free genre of music! And on that day I found the other reactions to Amira, Dimash, Lara Fabian, Adele, and Emma herself, including the interpretation of Voilà! It impresses me that you, even at such a young age, already have a huge “archive” of the most varied songs and genres, in these 5 years of your channel! Being eclectic in your passion for music makes you a special person! And at the same time you manage to open a range of options within the genre of symphonic metal! I love that about you! I love the way you care about others! And that was one of the main reasons that made me follow the channel! Many people pass through our lives, but few leave good memories! You are one of those people! How can we not be moved along with you in this interpretation of Emma! How can we not be moved by André Rieu who, just like you, made music his reason for being! Tauri, my heart! Beautiful reaction! Kisses to the heart! 💖🌷🥰 (English is not my official language, so I use the translator)
Thanks for this Tauri. . Like you said "magic". Its good to cry over something beautiful for a change. . .
So so so beautifully spoken Tauri 👍👍👍❤ we went to the concert of Andre Rieu at Maastricht , right in front of the stage at about 35 meters distance. Just as Emma started singing, an emotional bomb exploded in the square with the song DANCING ON THE STARTS and afterwards VOILA which earned a standing ovation for several minutes. Her beautiful voice touches your soul with the support of the orchestra, an evening to remember for a livetime. Also think that the audience love her mental strength with her illness and don't forget the loss of Emma's girlfriend Angela on May 5, 2023 ( ruclips.net/video/0nIpN86mw6E/видео.htmlsi=qws5Z_xKe4mVi4sc ) for the performances of volia last year.
Greetings from the Netherlands 👋
Dear Tauri,
Indeed you are absolutely right in stating that we should not only look at her illness, but also judge her on her voice and her performance in general...
However, I still keep thinking about one thing
It is good to be alive...
A text that comes back repeatedly in this song.
Then consider that Emma had to undergo
a painful procedure in the hospital a few days before this performance.
A procedure that is repeated every 4 months.
This procedure is the renewal of the tubes to her stomach and intestines
This is normally done under anesthesia.
However, Emma does not want that because of the tubes in her throat with anesthesia that can damage her vocal cords.
Therefore, this is done under full consciousness...
It is good to be alive, something to think about and reflect on
Hi TAURI your reaction and all points that you. Make, is probably the finest, fullest that I in my view is one of the best you have made
She is not allowing anything to hold her back, she is reaching for those stars. Her singing is amazing. There are other videos of her, they are all great.
Have you seen Emma and Andre's Christmas show of 2023 yet? .
Emma sings some beautiful well-known Christmas songs
I loved watching Emma sing that and I loved watching you react to it. Thank you!
As a Dutch person I only can say, " It's beautiful to see so much love and support for Emma". Thank you people of the world! Gracias gente! Mensen bedankt! Mille Gracias! Menschen danke! Merci!
🤗🍒🌹😘 well done as always Tauri, also listen to Emma's Hallelujah van de max christmas concert 2023
Ps. I haven't seen you at Nightwish yet, a new album is out and there are great songs to listen to and watch there too, good luck Tauri
This is going to be beautiful!💖
Her sister is the woman recording her on the iPhone. They are a talented family! And they really support each other and love Emma so much!
Emma Kok is soooooooooo amazing, her voice is so beautiful, soft and emotional......her dress is so beautiful and of course she is soooooooooo beautiful I am male I am 34 years old and I am not ashamed to say I start crying...... If you don't cry you DON'T have a HEART Emma you behind believe

New subscriber. Love your reactions. Good job.
I love how Andrea is conducting to her and never takes his eyes off her. And he gives her full attention to the audience after the performance
It’s Emma who is in control on stage. Andre knows this. He is watching her because she is leading everyone else. Andre is making sure the orchestra is staying at her pace, not his.
By now, I'm sure that people recognize Emma for her talent...not for her illness alone. She is a wonderful role model and inspiration to others. She has never asked for pity, but by recognizing her challenges and speaking about her medical issues...she keeps us all focused on the need for research and a search for treatment for a disease that has received little focus from the medical community, and promoting her efforts through Gastrostars.
Thank you for your reaction video.
(PS...Emma's last name is pronounced "Cook").
Once you watch this one, you can go watch Imagine she performed on Max Carrie on Fridays. Awesome. As soon as Andre releases Let it go, you must react. Emma is amazing in everything she performs and does.❤️❤️❤️
Thx friend have a nice xmass and a happy new ❤❤❤
Emma dit is ongelooflijk meer kan ik niet zeggen❤
If you don't feel something from this, you're broken.
Tauri you are the best!!
I wouldn't mind seeing Emma collaborate with Angelina Jordan or Aurora. That would be next level awesome!
I'm not into singers, I play drums, I love music, singer gets in the way, I just not good with lyrics, But this beautiful young lady is only the second to steal my heart. Her voice is mesmerizing. She is also the second singer to bring tears to my eyes just because of how beautiful her voice is. Emma Kok is truly amazing... I absolutely love her singing. Solid chills. Her vibrato is stunning!
That said, there is only one other who evokes these emotions. She is a singer songwriter, and you should really do a reaction to her. Her name is Grace Vanderwaal, She just performed at the Kennedy Center, The Impossible Dream, the performance was absolutely stunning, very much like this one. I am putting the link to it here. Please react to this other jewel. You will have covered my favorite two singers! Or to me, the only two that matters!

Emma goes in 2025 another year with Andre on tour, but it will be in "extended" Europe. It is a pity, but the other continents are not in the progam, because of the age (75) of Andre Rieu.
You shouldn't interuped this video. You should give you're reaction at the end.!!!
@rolandklop1641 I've been doing it this way for 5 years. Go watch the original if you don't want my commentary. This is a reaction video, after all.

❤❤❤I love you, human... Why? Because God created you... God created you for goodness and love, not for evil and hatred!
So, as long as you are alive, as long as you have breath, do good and do not let hatred into your heart... Love the Earth and caress it often, love your neighbor, love Mother Nature...
There is nothing better than doing good! Making people happy should give you happiness, doing good to them should be your nature!
When you do good to others, you do not have to remember, but when someone does a good deed to you, you must remember...
Never be proud of yourself, always be humble and forgiving, because God loves such
