Great reaction! This video is part of the African Christmas with Amira and Friends concert in 2020. Here she sings with the fantastic Mzansi Youth Choir. All proceeds from the concert went to the Foundation Gelukskinders, which Amira set up at the age of 10 to build playgrounds in poor schools in South Africa. From the concerts she attends and from sales of her CDs and DVDs, half of the proceeds go to her foundation. Last year she led an initiative to distribute food to poor families affected by the pandemic. At the age of 10, she went to the Vatican to receive the Humanitarian of the Year award. Amira not only sings religious arias with a deep feeling for the music, but she also practices what she sings. An incredible voice with an incredible heart.
Hi Valerie .All my sympathies to you for the loss of your husband and i pray .for his soul.I love your beautiful smile.I think you have a beautiful soul also.God bless you.Viva Amira !
As always thank you for doing this performance. I thought it would cheer you up. A different kind of performance for Amira and I love it. A side note to this performance, I understand that she was ill and running a temperature of 103 but went ahead with the performance. An amazing girl♥️
I truly enjoy your reactions and your analysis of what is happening vocally. I especially like your Amira reactions. My condolences for the loss of your husband. Prayers for you and your family.
Amira moved to S. Africa (her mother's country) and has enjoyed the culture. She started a foundation to equip playground equipment in elementary schools that don't have any. She is a treasure!
Another great reaction. This is now my favorite Little Drummer Boy. So, much color and energy. It bumped the Bing Crosby/ David Bowie version to second. My prayers go out to you on the loss of your husband
So sorry to hear that you lost your husband... And so happy to hear that this was one of his favorite songs and that Amira's version has made you smile and brought you the same joy it has brought to many. Your reactions are always so informative and uplifting. You add enormously to our enjoyment and understanding of Amira's voice so thank you for all your reactions to date and I look forward to many more as Amira progresses. A very happy and healthy New Year to you from Ireland ☘️
I love your obvious enjoyment of this video and your appreciation of the production and arrangement. I have also noticed that when Amira sings in concert, especially in South Africa she seems to be surrounded by a wonderfully professional and talented group of people who produce and arrange her concerts. So wonderful. I had read elsewhere in comments that she was somewhat ill at the time of this performance, but insisted that 'the show must go on' and I believe that she mastered whatever ills she felt and performed marvelously as always. Thanks for a great reaction video! I am glad that it brought joy to you, and really who could not be blessed by Amira accompanied by the African harmonies and rhythms!
Amira hat noch sooo viele schöne Lieder. Zum Beispiel, your love, das ist wunderschön. Sie ist die beste Sängerin in dieser Zeit. Ich freue mich auf Ihren Besuch.
Yes Valerie, that rendition was a lot of fun & I’m so pleased it cheered you up, especially when it was one of your late husband’s favourites. Amira is just so talented & when you get around to reacting to her singing “ When You Wish Upon a Star “, you will see yet another side of Amira. The soft, beautiful tone of her voice, but powerful at the same time, is simply sublime. I’d love your opinion as to how easy or difficult it is to sing , given that Amira sings this with all of her incredible ability with beautiful passion. In my opinion, a masterful performance. Cheers again, Graeme. ps. Trusting you had a lovely Christmas & wishing you a healthy & stress free 2022. I’m also from “down under “ ( Melbourne ) & today’s temperature is 34 degrees Celsius.
I always have to go back to hollands got talent when amira was a little girl. At nine her voice was so beautiful and still is and i love the south african choir always a joy to hear 💯💯💯
Loved your reaction to this wonderful performance by our lovely Christian girl Amira Willighagen. It was sad to hear from you that you had lost your husband at what appears to be a relatively young age and that this performance lifted your spirit and gave you immense pleasure.
Valerie, this rendition of Drummer Boy is heart warming. It's open, joyous simplicity lights up life's heavenly elation from Laughter, Love, Harmony, Happiness. A very engaging personal reaction on your part, Valerie! Bravo!
Dear Valerie, I'me very sorry to hear that yo have lost your husband. I respect you for your love for music and for your beautiful insight into the world in which we live in. People who have you as a friend are very fortunate. I wish you all the best.
I hope that Amira will collaborate with Disney❣If Disney officials see Amira, please make Amira sing the official theme song of the Disney movie❣This pure and beautiful singing voice will be praised by the world❣ ❣Japan
I recently reviewed a duet with Amira and Sunnyboy Dladla, performed in 2018 (dress rehearsal). It has always been one of my favourites. You might enjoy Amigos Para Siempre.
Great reaction! Great performance! Very sad to hear about your husband. It's not easy, losing someone so close to oneself at Christmas. I wish you the best in the coming year, looking forward to more of your work, and, of course to more of Amira's work. Looks like this Covid nonsense is going away. With any kind of luck, that'll mean more "Classics is Groot" shows in South Africa, with Amira performing in them. She does well whatever venue she's in, but the big stage and the big music and the the big crowd really sets her up.
BARDZO dziękuję za tą prezentację. Maja lat 20 jest zachwycona tym utworem muzycznym. Proszę o wskazówki panią NAUCZYCIELKE niej jak dojść do takiej perfekcji . Pozdrawiam z POLSKI POLISH
A lot of the arrangements for this concert were dine by Amira 's friend, and her pianist, Charl de Plessi. I suspect he had a hand in this but must have worked closely with whoever directs the African choir. I love this piece and arrangement, but wonder if they are all dancing to a pre-recorded track. The sound doesn't change when Amira turns her head away from the microphone, and a lot of the choir don't seem to be singing either. I can believe it would be impractical to dance and sing at the same time, so can see why they would take this course. I'm not a sound technician, so may be completely wrong I give her full marks anyway!
I wondered the same thing. The choir was wearing attached microphones. And I didn't see them singing when they were "frozen". Anyway, the performance was totally captivating.
@@VocalSplendorStudios she contracted a fever during the concert, and had to return to finish it off the the following week. My be that's why the dancing appears to be married to the vocals.
@@VocalSplendorStudios Valerie, here is and earlier performance by Amira. It is a dress rehearsal with Amira and a wonderful young tenor Sonny boy Dladla who comes from the Berliner Opera. They perform a medley of la Donna e mobile and Funiculi Funicula. Amira was just 14 at the time. They are singing in an outdoor venue up in the clouds with quite a wind blowing. One of Amiras' better performances and the tenor is fabulous. Interesting to watch Amira raise her performance to match this experienced professional. Wonderful chemistry between the two of them. Quite a memorable performance. I always thought this was one of Amiras' breakthrough performances. Would love to hear your reaction.
Valerie, could you please react to Amira's version of La Vergine Degli Angeli, from "La Forza del Destino" by Verdi, recorded in 2020 with the Akustika Chamber Singers.
I recommend a singer called Diana Navarro. With the song "El perdón" she is very versatile and sings different styles of music with incredible melismas. And with a very personal voice.
I suspected it was pre-recorded but I didn't mention it. That said, when singers lip sync, they are still singing along. I get how all the movement in this selection would be difficult to pull off singing live.
Thank you for this reaction Valerie! Beautiful song and performance, it really cheered me up. Could you please react to another Amira's performance, O Holy Night (St Jacobs Church 2015) ? I think it's such a special performance, so angelical ruclips.net/video/uK91k6adllE/видео.html

I agree with you 1000%
Aw, Amira looks like she's having soooooooooo much fun. What a great performance. Absolutely beautiful arrangement.
She is a beautiful young lady. Not only for her singing, but she give to people in South Africa and goes there and helps. She a blessing.
Hi Valerie .All my sympathies to you for the loss of your husband and i pray .for his soul.I love your beautiful smile.I think you have a beautiful soul also.God bless you.Viva Amira !

Amira is giving her personal testimony. She is saying that her gift to her Saviour is her God-given voice.
I truly enjoy your reactions and your analysis of what is happening vocally. I especially like your Amira reactions.
My condolences for the loss of your husband. Prayers for you and your family.
It was a gift to see you having so much fun and enjoying this performance😁❤🙏🍀

Yeah. Indeed.
Just love Amira, a brilliant singer. Love the SA choral groups tempo version.
Lovely reaction, so glad it also cheered you up, it's wonderful and to share something like this makes me so happy!

I recommend a singer called Diana Navarro. With the song "El perdón" she is very versatile and sings different styles of music with incredible melismas. And with a very personal voice.
It was clear to see she was playbacking so talking about her singing is talking about what was recorded
I suspected it was pre-recorded but I didn't mention it. That said, when singers lip sync, they are still singing along. I get how all the movement in this selection would be difficult to pull off singing live.
Can you do Steve Perry??
pls react to a song by iranian singer Shadmehr Aghili such as "Rooze Sard "
