Amira is 17 now. Her birthday March 27. This performance she was 13. She is my favorite female voice. I bought the DVDs from these concerts 2016-1019 from Amira's charity. I did need a new DVD player to watch them in the states. Worth every penny. This show she also did Nessum Dorma ( just prior to this song) and Amazing Grace. All top quality. As for Corlea she also has a beautiful voice. She sings all kinds, great performer.
I have been following Amira since she first came to public attention on HGT. I'm not even really a huge fan od opera as a genre, but her talent and voice are just extraordinary, and her selflessness and humility equally so, with her foundation of the charity to provide play opportunities for underprivileged children in S.Africa using half of her winnings from that competition and regular boosting with performances in fundraising concerts still accounting for about half her appearances. An absolutely amazing young lady!
Amira started out on Holland’s got talent and wanted the “WOW” factor. She got it and ever since gets it everything she does. And I like you Sean find myself at a loss for words to describe her performance. I believe that is because she has a “GOD” given talent and His hand is upon her life. Bravo.
Amira was born in 2004, so just knock 4 of the performance date to get her age, 13 in this case. She had a four year career behind her by this date, so quite a few bits to find. Everyone is a gem.
Amira is so special , so amazing , so prodigy . she was only 13 years old in this video . One important date . In this night Amira first sang Nessum dorma in italian . Inmediatly introduce to Corlea Botha and both sang Flower duet in french , finally earlier she sang Amazing grace in english . Three lenguages in one night . Amaziing like everything what Amira do
Corlea, who sang here with Amira has been a great friend and mentor to Amira. Amira credits her onstage with that in introducing Corlea to the audience before they sang. Amira has respect for all other talents and great admiration for Corlea, who herself has a beautiful rich voice.
April 2019 Andrea Bocelli gave 2 concerts in South Africa. Bocelli's management didn't want Amira to sing with him! They asked a lot of money for it! It was then rumored that they were afraid that Bocelli would be blown off the stage!
Another incredible operatic performance is Nessun Dorma from the very same Classics is Groot concert in 2017. Outstanding performance! Very nice reaction.
I love Amira's voice, and your your reaction to this duet with Corlea Botha. You also mentioned that you have been focusing on young females singers lately, so may I recommend that you check out Patricia Janeckova, a young Slovak opera singer living and singing out of Czechia where she is studying opera in university. A little older that Amira , about 23 now, but there are a number of great video performances from younger years. I particularly like several circa 2016 and recommend the following to you. Three by Rossini (L'Orgia, La Pastorella delle Alpi, La Danza) and a couple by Strauss (Fruhlingsstimmen, Mein Herr Marquis). I think you will be impressed by her, as you rightfully are by Amira!
She has, inadvertently, upstaged quite a few professionals. It is not within her nature to do so, If you watch some of the performances closely, she studies her fellow performers, and modulates her voice. There so many examples of this, such as the 2015 Jólagestir Björgvins Christmas concerts in Laugardalshölli with the "Ave Maria" (Gounod / Bach) duet with Gissur Páll Gissurarson (for reaction: ruclips.net/video/tEImCJWI_ak/видео.html). There are two "Barcelona" duets as well; as a 12 year old with Tim Akkerman (ruclips.net/video/B6Rf9DZAmfE/видео.html) and a poor copy of one of the best ever renditions of this classic with Ruhan du Toit in 2018 (ruclips.net/video/Y1NPyPiCtnk/видео.html)
@@thesilentgeneration That whole song was and encore at the end of Amiras concert. They were both just fooling around. You can see where he once caught her by surprise and another time where she kept up with him and slowly bent over and down as if she was struggling so hard to maintain the note she was going to collapse The tenor, I think Ben Heinjiin was his name, not sure of the spelling was a real gentleman to Amira and happy to sing with her.
Good to remember that Amira sings in at least seven languages and does many genres as well as opera. Here is a song in English called "In The Stars" from her album titled "With All My Heart". It is essentially a dedication to her grandpa who had recently passed. Of course, this is a beautiful song but only one of many on this album and other similar albums. BTW, Amira was born on March 27, 2004 and is now 17 years old. ruclips.net/video/GcAOAxQNono/видео.html Another incredible option is "I Will Be With You" on the same album.
Bitte schauen sie unbedingt von Amira das Lied - your Love -an. Das ist unglaublich schön. Ich liebe ihre Stimme. Sie singt seit sie neun Jahre alt ist. Jetzt ist sie ein Profi.
Hi again Steve. I would truly love you to react to Amira singing Nessun Dorma from the CIG Classics is the Groot Concert in Sth Africa 2017 ruclips.net/video/GA-IXHxZR_g/видео.html. I truly feel Amira is the very best ever performer of this aria and I specifically do not exclude Luciano Pavarotti from this opinion. Many will not agree with me but so be it. Just tell me what other soprano can sing the aria at the same time as she walks down stairs and across the stage in that beautiful yellow gown. There at a mere thirteen years of age she commanded the whole performance in leading the orchestra and the choir.
Hi Steve. I liked your reaction to the aria Nella Fantasia by Amira in Africans is Groot in November 2016. She truly is world class. However Amira also performed this aria five months earlier in Classics is Groot in July 2016 ruclips.net/video/xdkPbBatDIM/видео.html. Then she was slightly younger and more child like vis a vis her November presentation where she is more mature and gives a more polished performance. As good as her November performance is I cannot help but prefer her July performance. I feel it is more dramatic and really tears at my heart strings bringing me to tears. Please give and opinion. Am I right or wrong or are they both good as each other but simply different.

These just beautiful together. They both have great voices. Thanks for the reaction

My God she's an angel Amira fantastic Amira incomparable she is wonderful
The singer that sings the duet with her has an amazing voice in itself. Search out Corlea Botha’s videos
She was 13years old for this performance same as her Amazing Grace.
Love the way their vibrato's are in sync.
They blended so very well....absolutely beautifully done!

I love this performance. Thanks for your reaction. They both have a beautiful voice and made a great Team and incredible Harmony in this song.

That is too bad for Bocelli! They would have been a great duet!
Let's just say AB is past his best and Amira may not have been able to suitably modulate her voice to AB disadvantage
Yes and also in Great Britain, that’s why they don’t invite Amira ❤️
He would have been!
When Amira first moved to South Africa Corlea Botha was her mentor. Sung in French, this aria is taken from the opera Lakme.
Another incredible operatic performance is Nessun Dorma from the very same Classics is Groot concert in 2017. Outstanding performance! Very nice reaction.
All of her performances are above expectations.
This was so amazing!
SJ Orr. Thanks again for your reaction. Nessun Dorma (CIG 2017) is worth considering.

The sound of music
Great vocals!
You might like her duet with Alma Deutscher, singing the STEPSISTERS DUET from Alma’s opera, CINDERELLA. They are about the same age.

For something recent: Caruso
She seems to be holding back so as not to dominate the duet.
Guess you know how gunslingers felt in the wild Wild West good this wasn’t a “shoot out” O sol Mio Amira
