You just witnessed a future superstar. She is 17 now and has a world-class voice with control. range and purity. I'm surprised that she does not get more attention. Any of her work is nothing short of stunning. She not only sings opera but old classics. crossovers, and musicals. Enjoy the ride !
Cool reaction. Thank you for that. But now you discovered Amira, my advice to you is to fasten your seat belt. If you wanne be more stunned and happy, then look and listen to all Amira performances, especially those from the Classics is Groot concerts in South Africa, like her O Solo Mio duet with Patrizio Buanne, her Flower duet with Corlea Botha, her Amazing Grace, her Gabriella song, her one word Hallelujah song e.o. They're all OUT OF THIS WORLD, BRILLIANT performances. Also her Iceland performance Ave Maria is unbelievable beautiful. There are many more Amira performances, so have fun watching them all good man. Amira is heartfelt feeling, one of a kind, soulful singer and person. She's AWESOME and one of my tripple AAA SUPER TALENTED ARTISTS, the other two are Angelina Jordan ( Jazz) and Alma Deuther ( composer, violinist and pianist). I know there are many great talents, but for me these 3 are the cherries on the cake. 👍
She is fluent in at least three languages(Dutch, English, Afrikaans) and sings in seven or eight. She is comfortable in many genres. Flower duet, O Mio Babbino Caro, Nessun Dorma, Caruso, opera....Amazing Grace, gospel....Sound of Music medley, musicals....Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Sacred Aria....Gabriellas Song or Your Love....Movie scores....Her range is at least up to Eb6 and probably higher. Her performance of O Mio Babbino Caro with Andre Reiu and his orchestra at the age of 10 was spectacular. She has sung with many well known performers including Paul Potts and Corlea Botha...if you review her stuff be sure to note the date of the performance ...she was 9 years old in 2013.
You just get the feeling that when Amira arrives on stage - the orchestra and choir know she is the star, the audience knows she is the star and with humility of heart Amira knows she is too. What a beautiful beautiful performance. Such poise such wonderful control and presence. Amira is in a class of her own. Just heavenly. Great reaction thank you Rob.
She was 12 here. Trained herself watching you tubes for 2 years, before going on Hollands Got Talent in 2013. She won that year with a little over 50% of the vote. Her main training came after, Not bad just 3 years later..She has done a lot of great pieces. Might check her tryout from 2013 O Mio Babbino Caro, to see the start. If go forward Amazing Grace. Nice reaction
I love Amira's voice. Listening 3 years, I can't enough of her, but respect her finishing school and limits the number of videos. You might check out the beginning before listens. 2013 Hollands Got Talent winner, tryout. Great reaction to Amira
A lot of good suggestions below, I don’t need to repeat. I am 73 years old, an Elvis fan, and I have come to love this young lady singing. By the end of her performance I find myself smiling and crying all at same time. Do Gabriellas sang” and Waite till the end. You’ll see her trademark “Amira wave”. Just melts your heart.
If you like this you should see her number one video. She was 12 at the time but she sang O Sole Mio with Patrizio Buone (I probably misspelled his name) at Classics Is Groot in 2016.
Flower duet or just anything at all. She is fabulous and not just a great singer but a great little girl with a huge heart, that gives her money to black kids in South Africa for playground equipment. Amria has a brother that she is devoted to,and he plays the violin but not very well. haha. She takes him along many times, but the video of her in a small church, with her brother playing the intro on his violin is just so plantif and beautiful and then she sings ave maria, a composition that is not the one we all are used to hearing. It is so amazing to hear her pure sound in that little church. You should actually read up on her and watch her videos. She puts the others girls you mentioned in the shade.
In the beginning, she won Holland'a Got Talent (all 3 performances) at 9 years old, self taught to sing by viewing RUclips, with no real professional instruction. Guest appearance at an Andre Rieu concert at 10 years old and got a standing ovation from 12-15,000 audience.. Started full concert appearances at 11 in Iceland, and in the 'Classics Are Great' concerts in South Africa at 12 years old. Her outstanding live concert performances: 'O Sole Mio' duet', 'Gabriella's Song'', 'Flower Duet', her AMAZING 'Amazing Grace', 'Sound of Music Medley', and what I believe truly shows her ability and range, her duet rendition of Freddy Mercury's opera/rock masterpiece 'Barcelona'. The out of focus, cell phone version is best of 'Barcelona', she goes up an octave on the final note, something that the original opera singer Monseratte Caballe did not do. The studio version of this one is not as good. Like your reactions, you will love Amira.
Amira was 12 at this performance. Incredible voice. A great choice for your next reaction would be "The Flower Duet" one of the most beautiful actu Opera Arias from Lakme by Delibes when Amira was 13. It was about 7 months after this performance. Another great, almost shocking , performance is the duet with Patrizio Buanne of "O Sole Mio" live in 2016. This took place 4 months before this "Nella Fantasia". This is an iconic performance. Really, almost everything she has done is world class. Even some of the performances that weren't professionally recorded are worth listening too like Ave Maria by Gomez recorded from the audience at the Saint Canesius Church in 2015 at the age of 11. It is and other worldly performance. That entire concert left the audience stunned and overwhelmed with emotion. At that performance her father plays the organ, her brother the violin and her mother the recorder.
Amria got a great voice already, most of her learning how to use her voice was listening to RUclips each of her performances get bettr and better---the voice of an angel----One of her best performances is "AMAZING GRACE" which you'ld find truly rememerable...ENJOY
There are female singers all over the world who are good at singing, but even among them, Amira is not a singer created by humans. People are fascinated and get goosebumps and shed tears. Amira is special.
So glad that you finally found Amira. I already suscribed to your chanel and wait anxiously for your next reaction. Her Ave Maria (Gomez) as others have wrote is not a great production but will let you admire the potential and talent of Amira when she was 11 eleven and the passion and joy she gives trough her music.
Great reaction, & so glad you’ve reacted to this amazing talent. Just a small snippet to enhance the comments below.... at the age of 7, she started watching the Ike’s of Pavarotti on uTube videos teaching herself to sing by mimicking his mouth movements and breathing techniques how does a seven year old even THINK about Opera, let alone practice singing it. When she won Holland’s Got Talent at age 9, she had not had a single singing lesson. As mentioned, she was 12 in this performance, but I’d like you to go ack to when she was 11 & react to: “ Ave Maria by Gomez at the Canisius Church “. The feeling & emotion she exudes is absolutely phenomenal together with her perfect voice & breath control. At this stage, she had started lessons, but she is only eleven. I am at a loss to comprehend how an eleven year old can produce such a magnificent tone & such an incredible performance. Sorry for the long post, but I thought you might be interested. Cheers, Graeme. Only one word for Amira Willighagen... “PRODIGY “ ps. Can’t wait for your next reaction.
Hi again. I’m just hanging out for your next Amira reaction, as I simply love your style with interesting & intelligent comments. The reason I wanted you to react to the performance below was to show you her God given “advanced “ talent. In your reaction, you mentioned the amount of work & dedication required to sing as she did. Well, this performance below is when she had only just begun singing lessons, so what she produces is basically her natural talent. ..... Amira Willighagen performing. “ Ave Maria by Gomez at the Canisius Church.” I’m probably being a bit pushy, but you did say you’d react within a couple of days, so this is just a gentle reminder. Cheers, Graeme. ps. This one will blow your socks off.
Great, great reaction, man! Amira is the real deal and you noticed that almost immediately. Jesus! Please, check out Amira's live rendition of Your Love (2017). Keep up the outstanding work.
She is amazing. Her future will be great. There is video of her singing a song called “in Th Stars”. The song is a tribute to her grandmother who passed away whenAmira was on Holland’s Got Talent. Not only does she sing, but she give half of what she earns to. Children in need in South Africa..she also goes there and helps. She is beautiful young woman. Also there is a video called Follow Your Heart. Which she performs with her father.
Robk Reacts, I hope you see this. Please react to Amira Willighagen singing "In the Stars" at 12 or 13 (no fancy orchestra behind her, just her sitting on a couch in what looks like a beautiful church vestibule). She wrote and dedicated the song to her deceased grandmother. Also, "Amazing Grace" at 15 (the BEST rendition of the song I've ever heard), and a "Sound of Music" medley composed of "The Sound of Music," "Edelweiss," and "Climb Every Mountain" while dressed in a beautiful "Von Trapp" type of dress. And there are so many more by her! Hope you'll check out her "Holland's Got Talent" audition (age NINE!) of "O Solo Babino Caro" -- just stunningly unbelievable! She not only has a diamond voice, but a heart of gold as well with a sterling silver character. She has her own charitable foundation called Geluskinders which uses much of the money she earns to build playgrounds for poor children in South Africa where she and her family now reside. She plans to extend the playground building funds worldwide eventually. She just recently turned 17.
Thank you for your nice reaction! In the beginning you said that Amira sounds like a seasoned singer. Just in case you can't believe it: Amira was born March 27th, 2004 and was twelve years old at this concert!
She has concentrated on her high school education in South Africa. Just graduated. Got her lungs winning distance races. Her folks are being careful with her voice as it matures. The duet is from Alma’s CINDERELLA OPERA which sold out in San Jose, California, and also sold out two added performances. They are about the same age.
3 года назад+4
Try her origanal song in the stars. She wrote it for her deceased grandmother at age 13.
"In the Stars" is my favorite of Amira's! I get sweaty-eyed every time I watch and listen to her sing it, then gently lays her head down on the pillow at the end. The emotion just slaps me upside the head! In that video, she looks uncannily like my little granddaughter in the face, which endeared me that much more!
She's one of my favourites from the Netherlands. The other singers Floor Jansen and Glennis Grace I will recommend them highly to you. If wants something totally different then I advise you to see the last live concert in the Netherlands with Kensington and Direct at De Vrienden van Amstel live. You will not regret it I promise you.
Amira is not real she is a special angel from God she is simply incomparable Amira is the best of the best Amira is a phenomenon incomparable she is magnificent wonderful perfect and unique thank God for Amira❤❤❤
AMIRA HAD NO TRAINING SHE SANG BY STUDY HER COMPUTER SHE FOUND OPERA AND STARTING TO SING IT, SHE WON HOLLAND GOT TALENT BEFORE SHE GOT TRAINING SHE GOT OVER 50% OF THE VOTES
I've followed Amira closely since her winnning of Holland's Got Talent show in 2013 at age 9. Here are a few suggestions for you: "O Mio Babbino Caro - Andre Rieu Concert, July 2014 at age 10; Amira Willighagen - "Ave Maria" HD -Du cote de chez Dave TV Dec. 2014 at age 10; Promo Amira "Your Love," (Song from Her New Album - You Tube, 2018 at age 14; "Amazing Grace" (as Linda Jenkins noted) 2019 at age 15; Amira streaming Christmas concert 2020 - "The Lord's Prayer," at age 16; "In the Stars," 2016 at age 12 . This is magnificent piece developed by Amira in dedication to her grandmother who had recently died; "Sound of Music" Jan. 2020 at age 16.
Love your choices only a couple of corrections. Note the album mention added all the Classic is Groot songs from 2016-2018, so it can be confusing. Amazing Grace was form 2017 at 13.. In The Stars form around 2017-18, so 13 or 14. The Sound of Music was from the 2019 show at 15. Your Love the big one live was 2017, so I think the promo I think you are right, this without pulling out the CD. I own every DVD and CD she sold, that is where my info comes from. Sometimes the you tube video's come out later, so it can throw you off.
here is another great performance of her the orchestra is not a professional orchestra but I think mostly amateurs in the good sense of the word or non paid musicians might be a better description. But this O sole Mio version is a bit of improvising and a bit of fun and with nearly 8 million views must be good ruclips.net/video/Te6LGAOTjdk/видео.html Kind regards Hans
Could you make a reaction video of the Norwegian singing sensation Sissel? Check out her performing a stunningly beautiful version of "Pie Jesu": ruclips.net/video/7QVDoYghauo/видео.html
Nella Fantasia is not an operatic aria. Good operatic example would be her 2017 CIG version of Nessun Dorma. Perhaps her best hymn singing is How Great Thou Art. Also for a different style her more recent The Lord's Prayer, recorded in South Africa.
If you are interested in how she pronounces her last name and how she sounds more recently, check out her singing, When You Wish Upon A Star. She is accompanied on piano by her father. ruclips.net/video/-JqvBVN76pQ/видео.html
Hi Rob, Your reaction to this aria by Amira in Africans is Groot in November 2016 is wonderful. She truly is world class. However Amira also performed this aria five months earlier in Classics is Groot in July 2016 ruclips.net/video/xdkPbBatDlM/видео.html. In the July she is 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.
This beautiful aria with music by Ennio Morricone from the film “The Mission,” and lyrics added by Chiara Ferraù is about an imaginary world of peace and harmony. I presume the implication is that this is the fantasy of the missionary which provokes enormous irony. The “mission” of the missionary is to persuade the indigenous people to abandon their cultural traditions and superstitions in favor of the missionary’s culture and superstitions. Europeans generally regarded indigenous peoples to be “savages” in need of “salvation.” So the fantasy is presumably about a world of European culture and superstition, rather than of any sort of diversity or inclusion. The first 2 minutes is another Ennio Morricone composition called "The River" with the voices of the Mzansi Youth Choir, then Amira comes on stage for Nella Fantasia.
So when Brightman wrote the words and sang this song she did not use a C6 for the last note. Brightman, a mezzo soprano did not write the last note as high C. Amira reaches C6 and sustains the note with ease.
Great reaction and welcome to the wonderful world of Amira! Lots of fabulous performances suggested below, all great, and if you like musicals please react to Amira doing a medley from Sound of Music! Here is the link for you, ruclips.net/video/RcojA7k7kGA/видео.html
Laura bretan la destroza por por por pero por mucho please react laura bretan adagio, nella fantasía, amazing grace, mary did you know and your new álbum World i see please
difiero contigo... Laura Bretan tiene una voz poderosa muy potente pero no controla del todo y sube muchos tonos donde creo yo deberia escalar con mas suavidad pero si en efecto tiene mucha mas potencia su voz eso si te lo acepto pero la verdad la claridad, el timbre cristalino y el sentimiento que transmite Amira cuando canta es simplemente sublime y creeme me gustan ambas ok pero prefiero el sentimiento tan hermoso que acaricia el alma la voz de Amira...
Creo que cabe la diversidad tanto en el talento como en la forma en que nos toca el alma cada una a su manera. Las dos son increíbles. A mi me mueve más Amira.
since this styling is new for you, check out the original composed by Ennio Morricone , and for youth classical singers , in addition to A. W. here, you can check out these: ruclips.net/video/ziNtquFC3VM/видео.html Jackie Evancho, age 11 and one day live DREAM WITH ME IN CONCERT PBS special I was there, 2nd row. center right. and EMANNE BEASHA, age 10.. Americas got Talent she has not done this song, or not on YT, but others are there. If this sort of thing interests you vs. GREAT ANGELINA JORDDAN type.
@@yogajedi3337 AJA sings better than Adelle, at age 14, and even at age 12. You should check out her covers and compare... ALL I ASK..... and also A MILLION YEARS AGO. OR maybe check out her great recent songs she wrote and have been released. MILLION MILES, 7TH HEAVEN.... SOrry that on your link, Amira's speech impediment is way too evident on her s and F sounds. Sad. Maybe she can fix it by adult hood. The guy sang well though. Oh.. and I would think if JE were still 11, she would KILL that fun song, which is not really one for any album cut, but for fun live show.
You just witnessed a future superstar. She is 17 now and has a world-class voice with control. range and purity. I'm surprised that she does not get more attention. Any of her work is nothing short of stunning. She not only sings opera but old classics. crossovers, and musicals. Enjoy the ride !
Cool reaction. Thank you for that. But now you discovered Amira, my advice to you is to fasten your seat belt. If you wanne be more stunned and happy, then look and listen to all Amira performances, especially those from the Classics is Groot concerts in South Africa, like her O Solo Mio duet with Patrizio Buanne, her Flower duet with Corlea Botha, her Amazing Grace, her Gabriella song, her one word Hallelujah song e.o. They're all OUT OF THIS WORLD, BRILLIANT performances. Also her Iceland performance Ave Maria is unbelievable beautiful. There are many more Amira performances, so have fun watching them all good man. Amira is heartfelt feeling, one of a kind, soulful singer and person. She's AWESOME and one of my tripple AAA SUPER TALENTED ARTISTS, the other two are Angelina Jordan ( Jazz) and Alma Deuther ( composer, violinist and pianist). I know there are many great talents, but for me these 3 are the cherries on the cake. 👍
She is fluent in at least three languages(Dutch, English, Afrikaans) and sings in seven or eight. She is comfortable in many genres. Flower duet, O Mio Babbino Caro, Nessun Dorma, Caruso, opera....Amazing Grace, gospel....Sound of Music medley, musicals....Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Sacred Aria....Gabriellas Song or Your Love....Movie scores....Her range is at least up to Eb6 and probably higher. Her performance of O Mio Babbino Caro with Andre Reiu and his orchestra at the age of 10 was spectacular. She has sung with many well known performers including Paul Potts and Corlea Botha...if you review her stuff be sure to note the date of the performance ...she was 9 years old in 2013.
Andre Rieu, 10.000 people standing ovation!! IMPOSSIBLE BETTER!!
You just get the feeling that when Amira arrives on stage - the orchestra and choir know she is the star, the audience knows she is the star and with humility of heart Amira knows she is too. What a beautiful beautiful performance. Such poise such wonderful control and presence. Amira is in a class of her own. Just heavenly. Great reaction thank you Rob.
I think Amira is a woman with a beautiful singing voice gifted by God!! ︎ Amazing, I can't believe it!! 😳👍👍
She was 12 here. Trained herself watching you tubes for 2 years, before going on Hollands Got Talent in 2013. She won that year with a little over 50% of the vote.

Her HGT 2013 final, Nessun Dorma, is her best ... so far. Amazing Grace is later and always great!
I love Amira's voice. Listening 3 years, I can't enough of her, but respect her finishing school and limits the number of videos. You might check out the beginning before listens. 2013 Hollands Got Talent winner, tryout. Great reaction to Amira
A lot of good suggestions below, I don’t need to repeat. I am 73 years old, an Elvis fan, and I have come to love this young lady singing. By the end of her performance I find myself smiling and crying all at same time. Do Gabriellas sang” and Waite till the end. You’ll see her trademark “Amira wave”. Just melts your heart.
Oh, yes, absolutely!
Indeed Gabriellas Song is also a beaty and there are lots more. Her duets are also very good.
If you like this you should see her number one video. She was 12 at the time but she sang O Sole Mio with Patrizio Buone (I probably misspelled his name) at Classics Is Groot in 2016.

Is my favourite, so beautiful 😍

she is 12 and magical.

She is 16 or 17 here. She won Holland's Got Talent in 2013 at 9 years old. Awesome!
Probably know by now that Vita Nostra is another song from The Mission, ahead of Nella Fantasia
See and listen also her "10 minutes of pure sounds of joy" stunning, unequalised for that age !!!
Amria got a great voice already, most of her learning how to use her voice was listening to RUclips each of her performances get bettr and better---the voice of an angel----One of her best performances is "AMAZING GRACE" which you'ld find truly rememerable...ENJOY

Amira the best 🙏❤️
She is amazing. Her future will be great. There is video of her singing a song called “in Th Stars”. The song is a tribute to her grandmother who passed away whenAmira was on Holland’s Got Talent. Not only does she sing, but she give half of what she earns to. Children in need in South Africa..she also goes there and helps. She is beautiful young woman. Also there is a video called Follow Your Heart. Which she performs with her father.
watch "your love" , "amazing grace" and "gabriella's song" . truly outstanding.
Her rendition of Amazing grace is my all time favorite music video!
she is 12. Huge star and yuou should play all her videos
Simply stunning beautiful
Robk Reacts, I hope you see this. Please react to Amira Willighagen singing "In the Stars" at 12 or 13 (no fancy orchestra behind her, just her sitting on a couch in what looks like a beautiful church vestibule). She wrote and dedicated the song to her deceased grandmother. Also, "Amazing Grace" at 15 (the BEST rendition of the song I've ever heard), and a "Sound of Music" medley composed of "The Sound of Music," "Edelweiss," and "Climb Every Mountain" while dressed in a beautiful "Von Trapp" type of dress. And there are so many more by her! Hope you'll check out her "Holland's Got Talent" audition (age NINE!) of "O Solo Babino Caro" -- just stunningly unbelievable! She not only has a diamond voice, but a heart of gold as well with a sterling silver character. She has her own charitable foundation called Geluskinders which uses much of the money she earns to build playgrounds for poor children in South Africa where she and her family now reside. She plans to extend the playground building funds worldwide eventually. She just recently turned 17.
Thank you for your nice reaction! In the beginning you said that Amira sounds like a seasoned singer. Just in case you can't believe it: Amira was born March 27th, 2004 and was twelve years old at this concert!
She has concentrated on her high school education in South Africa. Just graduated. Got her lungs winning distance races. Her folks are being careful with her voice as it matures.
The duet is from Alma’s CINDERELLA OPERA which sold out in San Jose, California, and also sold out two added performances. They are about the same age.
Try her origanal song in the stars. She wrote it for her deceased grandmother at age 13.
"In the Stars" is my favorite of Amira's! I get sweaty-eyed every time I watch and listen to her sing it, then gently lays her head down on the pillow at the end. The emotion just slaps me upside the head! In that video, she looks uncannily like my little granddaughter in the face, which endeared me that much more!
Great song and love everything about it. However, I believe it was a tribute for her Grandma. but she did not write it.
@@passqualecaiazza7728 You are correct; it was written for her by Riana Nel and Joe Foster.
love from Turkey
She's one of my favourites from the Netherlands. The other singers Floor Jansen and Glennis Grace I will recommend them highly to you. If wants something totally different then I advise you to see the last live concert in the Netherlands with Kensington and Direct at De Vrienden van Amstel live. You will not regret it I promise you.
ROBK HAVE YOU FALLEN IN LOVE WITH OUR ANGEL AMIRA YET THERE A FEW MILLION OF US PEOPLE IN THIS LINE.

I've followed Amira closely since her winnning of Holland's Got Talent show in 2013 at age 9. Here are a few suggestions for you: "O Mio Babbino Caro - Andre Rieu Concert, July 2014 at age 10; Amira Willighagen - "Ave Maria" HD -Du cote de chez Dave TV Dec. 2014 at age 10; Promo Amira "Your Love," (Song from Her New Album - You Tube, 2018 at age 14; "Amazing Grace" (as Linda Jenkins noted) 2019 at age 15; Amira streaming Christmas concert 2020 - "The Lord's Prayer," at age 16; "In the Stars," 2016 at age 12 . This is magnificent piece developed by Amira in dedication to her grandmother who had recently died; "Sound of Music" Jan. 2020 at age 16.
Love your choices only a couple of corrections. Note the album mention added all the Classic is Groot songs from 2016-2018, so it can be confusing. Amazing Grace was form 2017 at 13.. In The Stars form around 2017-18, so 13 or 14. The Sound of Music was from the 2019 show at 15. Your Love the big one live was 2017, so I think the promo I think you are right, this without pulling out the CD. I own every DVD and CD she sold, that is where my info comes from. Sometimes the you tube video's come out later, so it can throw you off.
here is another great performance of her the orchestra is not a professional orchestra but I think mostly amateurs in the good sense of the word or non paid musicians might be a better description. But this O sole Mio version is a bit of improvising and a bit of fun and with nearly 8 million views must be good

Kind regards Hans
@@hanspijpers2100 That is a great performance from Amira

Please watch the flower duet by Amira willighagen.
Please hear Amira & Alma Deutscher - Duet Of The Stepsisters. This duet is PHENOMENAL.
you play amira songs and you will find people coming to you. watch as your viewing figures rising.
Could you make a reaction video of the Norwegian singing sensation Sissel? Check out her performing a stunningly beautiful version of "Pie Jesu": ruclips.net/video/7QVDoYghauo/видео.html
Can you play amira willighagen Caruso .thank you
Nella Fantasia is not an operatic aria. Good operatic example would be her 2017 CIG version of Nessun Dorma. Perhaps her best hymn singing is How Great Thou Art. Also for a different style her more recent The Lord's Prayer, recorded in South Africa.
Yes, absolutely! Also "Amazing Grace."
If you are interested in how she pronounces her last name and how she sounds more recently, check out her singing, When You Wish Upon A Star. She is accompanied on piano by her father. ruclips.net/video/-JqvBVN76pQ/видео.html
Just stop interrupting her and LISTEN to her.
Hi Rob, Your reaction to this aria by Amira in Africans is Groot in November 2016 is wonderful. She truly is world class. However Amira also performed this aria five months earlier in Classics is Groot in July 2016 ruclips.net/video/xdkPbBatDlM/видео.html. In the July she is 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.
Necesitas escucharla cantar Amazing Grace o cualquiera del último disco que grabó.
Estimado Profesor, Subtitulos in Spanish, please. Aki la Diosa, Demostrando De Lo Que Es, Un SER DIVINO.
This beautiful aria with music by Ennio Morricone from the film “The Mission,” and lyrics added by Chiara Ferraù is about an imaginary world of peace and harmony. I presume the implication is that this is the fantasy of the missionary which provokes enormous irony. The “mission” of the missionary is to persuade the indigenous people to abandon their cultural traditions and superstitions in favor of the missionary’s culture and superstitions. Europeans generally regarded indigenous peoples to be “savages” in need of “salvation.” So the fantasy is presumably about a world of European culture and superstition, rather than of any sort of diversity or inclusion.
The first 2 minutes is another Ennio Morricone composition called "The River" with the voices of the Mzansi Youth Choir, then Amira comes on stage for Nella Fantasia.
So when Brightman wrote the words and sang this song she did not use a C6 for the last note. Brightman, a mezzo soprano did not write the last note as high C. Amira reaches C6 and sustains the note with ease.
@@desj2584 Yes
@@desj2584 Yes!
She was self taught until she was about 12 when she started lessons.

What is Nella Fantasia ...? Yes, it's opera! LOL. ...Man.
You are worried about too much production? You might consider talking a little less. :-)
now also.... search CASEY BISHOP - American Idol 2021
Laura bretan la destroza por por por pero por mucho please react laura bretan adagio, nella fantasía, amazing grace, mary did you know and your new álbum World i see please
difiero contigo... Laura Bretan tiene una voz poderosa muy potente pero no controla del todo y sube muchos tonos donde creo yo deberia escalar con mas suavidad pero si en efecto tiene mucha mas potencia su voz eso si te lo acepto pero la verdad la claridad, el timbre cristalino y el sentimiento que transmite Amira cuando canta es simplemente sublime y creeme me gustan ambas ok pero prefiero el sentimiento tan hermoso que acaricia el alma la voz de Amira...
Creo que cabe la diversidad tanto en el talento como en la forma en que nos toca el alma cada una a su manera. Las dos son increíbles. A mi me mueve más Amira.
since this styling is new for you, check out the original composed by Ennio Morricone , and for youth classical singers , in addition to A. W. here, you can check out these:

Jackie Evancho, age 11 and one day live DREAM WITH ME IN CONCERT PBS special
I was there, 2nd row. center right.
and EMANNE BEASHA, age 10.. Americas got Talent
she has not done this song, or not on YT, but others are there. If this sort of thing interests you vs. GREAT ANGELINA JORDDAN type.
Jackie and Angelina should try this doing this tune. Piece of cake. ruclips.net/video/U4B8b7KgUkQ/видео.html
@@yogajedi3337 AJA sings better than Adelle, at age 14, and even at age 12. You should check out her covers and compare... ALL I ASK..... and also A MILLION YEARS AGO. OR maybe check out her great recent songs she wrote and have been released. MILLION MILES, 7TH HEAVEN....
SOrry that on your link, Amira's speech impediment is way too evident on her s and F sounds. Sad. Maybe she can fix it by adult hood. The guy sang well though. Oh.. and I would think if JE were still 11, she would KILL that fun song, which is not really one for any album cut, but for fun live show.
@@yogajedi3337 PS: If you cannot hear the speech/singing problem I had mentioned... then you must be both old and deaf... or at least deaf and daft.
@@yousurf374 JE often sings very blurry, did you miss that.
@@yousurf374 You like pop singer, then JE is a good choice.
