Great reaction! Helmut is an excellent Belgian tenor, more specifically from the Dutch region of Belgium. He has 60 platinum records. But he doesn't have any diamond records (Amira has 2). At this concert in South Africa, Amira was 14 years old and about to turn 15. Amira Willighagen is a household name in Europe. So every tenor wants to sing with her, but at the same time it's stressful for them to sing with an absolute soprano, who sings in 11 languages and in all 11 registers of the female voice (1 contralto register, 3 mezzo registers and 7 soprano registers). On these duet occasions, Amira reduces her voice, agility, range and volume, otherwise the tenor's voice disappears under hers (as has happened on other occasions). It is very difficult to sing operatically in Anglo-Germanic languages, as there is little use of vowels and the consonants are very rough and rolled. But Amira has mastered the technique of singing in English, German, Dutch and Afrikaans (she has sung in Swedish, Hebrew and Mandarin too). It's much easier to sing in Latin, Italian, Spanish and French, as she has done. The only tenor she's ever sung with who is of her caliber was Paul Potts, the most popular tenor in England and one of the most popular in Europe, and those were the only times her name was placed below the tenor's name. Amira recorded this song when she was 19, with another excellent tenor.
Quick comment about Amira's family. They are anateur musicians and haven't achieved celebrity status in that field. But they are definitely Successful. You only have to see how rock solid and well adjusted Amira is, despite her roller coaster life while growing up, to appreciate their qualities, and how Successful they are as a unit.

Hello María . ¿ Do you want to watch any male singer at level of Amira ? Hear Amira & Ruhan Du Toit , THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA 2023 , Epic rendition in Pretoria , South Afrika
This is not my favourite Amira duet performance. A bit similar to the Davis Cerna duet with Amira. They’re simply not in her league. I believe this is what you were referring to . Cheers Graeme. …. Also from Australia.
Yes, David couldn't match the power and clarity of Amira; it was that performance Maria was referring to. Sadly, after reacting to David singing with Amira, it took her 6 mos to react to Amira. i hope and pray Maria that you will react more to Amira and give her a playlist on your channel. She is in a league all by herself!
@@micheallewis9156- David is primarily a pianist with great potential as a singer, but not a good fit with Amira who i believe was trying to help him out which is of course typical of her giving nature.
Interesting comments. Helmut is a mature and established tenor. Not sure his tone matches Amira. There is a good studio duet she did of this song with an amateur singer called Wilhelm Lichtenberg. There is a much better balance between the two of them in that pairing. I'll drop the link in the comment reply section below, as YT often clears comments with links in them, and hopefully this'll stay.

I agree with you, but as to David Cerna,I find his singing somewhat bland.Amira needs someone who can add some spice to the song.
