O my gosh! You did it! I am glad that you selected this Video. I have hardly recommended cause I Was Sure that you will enjoy it very much. I am exited about the video which has just been uploaded and will enjoy it right now. Knowing that you are the very Best reactor in the www net, i will give my strong like in advance. Thank You very much for selecting this song of Emma (she Was in the hospital the days before which makes her Performance even better and more incredible)
@@MasterofVoice you re welcome. I must add a second comment, cause meanwhile I saw the whole Video and reaction. And... you made my Day with this reaction! I expected already a lot cause I Know your good quality... and you even topped it. I Know that you can explain every tone or tecnique precisely and on point, but what makes this reaction very especial, was to be able to see how deeply impressed you were from Emmas Performance also aß from the Song. I knew that this would Touch you very deep, cause I was also touched very deep from this Song and Performance. A few days ago, when I saw your video of VOILA and recommended this Song dancing to the stars, I was wrong cause I wrote it was a New Song. But meanwhile, I learnt, that the composer has written it already almost 20 years ago, when Emma Was not Born. But He never published it in a great way. Seems to be, that this especial song has waited 20 years for the right interpret to perform it. I think, maestro André Rieux have helped the Song with his arrangement (but this is not a Sure Information). Keep on your good work. IT was one your very Best reactions ever in my opinión
This song is 20 years old, never performed, just collected dust and waited for Emma. She can whisper and it sounds strong, her strength. She is a Lovable Grand Little Lady.
For a 16 year old to be performing at this level is not normal, but then, there is little that is normal about Emma, is there? She is already excelling in every aspect her craft. She is a vocal performance artist extraordinaire. Her grace and poise when on stage is off the charts. She is utterly fearless, and in complete control. When she is performing, time seems to stand still. There is no awareness of anything but Emma on the stage performing musical magic with her voice. She has, along with Maestro Rieu and the entire orchestra, created a masterpiece here. Shout out to the harpist who played magnificently. Well done Warrior Princess Emma! Brava! ♥🌹 A great and heartfelt reaction. Thanks so much. All the best.
After having been about 20 years on a shelf in the studio form Tjeerd Oosterhuis with no singer willing to take it on this song has find the ultimate vocalist to perform it, isn't it? And no question about it here: THIS IS LIVE performance, no tricks involved.... and Emma has performed it 12 times within 3 weeks. By the way: it was her own request to perform it and André Rieu agreed with that. Together with Emma he worked on it for many hours to make it fit for her (so she knew word for word what the meaning from the lyrics are) and his orchestra and this is what we get... Just hearing the words "It's good to be alive" out of her mouth, a girl who has so much daily challenges to sta alive since she was only 9 month old... That get's me. And those vocals: I am not an artist but to me you can only do it at this level when you are completely relaxed on stage. Emma says "Singing is my therapy", and when I see this? I believe her. On UA-cam there are a lot of songs which she has performed since the age of about 12, even her own show... And don't let you fool about her length: Due to her disease Emma is very short, at 16 she has now reached about 150 centimeters. Last May she had to ask a stage-manager for a bench to stand on before starting her song (probably they simply had not thought of that detail), otherwise the audience could not see her... But her performance was not effected at all: she showed no signs of being disturbed by it. This is what André Rieu had to say about Emma in a very recent interview, after working a full year with her: "Emma is a pro, she really is, she knows what she wants and she is a kind person. Not a diva or so. And that's why I love it to work with her. Emma's mother is always backstage (she is on tour with us as well) to provide the extra care Emma needs. And school? Emma follows an on-line school and several members of the orchestra have stepped up to help her with it when needed. We are one big musical family".
She has a golden voice and wants to be a Singer. With her physical limitations that was not easy, but Andre made her a star, the crown jewel of his team.
What a lovely, genuine, heartfelt reaction, thank you 🥰. We were there on the (public) square in Maastricht during one of 12 concerts last July. I would love for you to feel the vibe during these concerts in the heart of this city. It's mesmerising.
It's a fantastic performance. She's beautiful with a beautiful voice, stage presence is on another level. She's come so far. I knew she was a future star after seeing Voila and I'm one of millions that is following her career. Voila was spectacular, but this song I prefer so much. Maybe because I've watched the initial performance so many times. She is so humble and gracious. A true gift to the world
We saw this live in Maastricht two days after this video was shot. It was everything of an experience that, after hearing this, you would imagine that it would be. Thank you Emma. Thank you Andre for taking her into your orchestra's extended family for the world tour. Emma is developing! And thank you, Andy, for this reaction.
Can't have enough of this (new)song! It's so good.. I'm so proud of Emma (although I don't know her). I don't think about her illness, without it she still is 1 in a billion. Such a sweet young lady, very well mannered, loving soul. Her parents can be very proud (they probably are, duh). A couple of weeks ago I found out she also plays the violin, thats incredible!
Thank you reaction .Last Friday 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. And now we are going to buy the tickets for the Christmas concert in December MECC Maastricht.
I totally agree. It is a complete overwhelming experience on the square in Maastricht. My tickets for the Mecc in december are allready in the pocket🤩🤩🤩
I’m not sure what touched me more: Emma’s nearly extra terrestrial performance or your heartfelt, emotional and authentic reaction! What a joy to see you both! 🙏
Love your sincere and heart-felt reaction to Emma’s masterpiece! She is truly special and she is the master of conveying emotion and spiritual energy during her singing. She is at a high consciousness level which allows her to convey more energy in her voice than other singers. Very few people are at her consciousness level! Interestingly, Andre is also at a high consciousness level and he likely spotted the same in Emma during her first rehearsal. They are indeed two powerful people working together and the result is apparent. I hope she stays with him for a longer period of time. They are mutually beneficial to one another and they both have similar goals, namely bringing love and joy to the world.
Emma due to her physical condition can not sing a 1 hour concert. So she can not be a regular star, but she is safe with Andre who said he feels a little like her father. And that shows. With a whole orchestra to take care of her and help her with her study. Legally she has to.
Q gran reaccion a Emma...sobre todo q agregas subtítulos, esta cancion e interpretacion tocan el alma, nos conmovio a todos, ella es un ejemplo a seguir...saludos desde Perú.
In addition to having a beautiful voice, Emma is very friendly. I loved your reaction! Please, I would really like you to react to the Brazilian #gabriehenrique singing I Want To Know What Love Is with the choir Black To Black, released on June 6th on his official channel here on UA-cam. It's really impressive!
I enjoyed watching your reaction to this latest song from Emma, simply because I knew what was coming, and the effect it would have on you, and you didn't let me down, you responded with exactly the delight that I knew you would, Emma has that same effect on you as she does on me, her ability and strength is just stunning. I'd love to be able to type a longer and more specific response, but a wrist in a splint after a mishap here makes that impossible, but I can share some earlier comments that will point you in the right direction, and help you explore the Emma phenomenon. Emma can be off the pumps for a maximum of two hours a day, for the shows with Andre, she usually sings two songs, and the second song has changed several times over the year, even in Maastricht it's been different, and during the Christmas concerts last year, she did more, but with a break and costume change between them. I suspect that a 'big song' takes a lot out of her, and although she doesn't talk much about the limitations she experiences, we know that at times, she ends up using a wheelchair, more than 2 flights of stairs, carrying the equivalent of a boat anchor, the ever present feeding pumps, or even things like a long walk at an airport, they're too much, and it was very evident recently after a feeding tube replacement that didn't go according to plan, Emma was clearly feeling the cold at the rehearsal a couple of days later, she is still tiny when compared to her peers, and she doesn't have the reserves of energy that would be normal for her age, but as has been said, she is a warrior, she refuses to be defined by her disease, and fights every inch of the way, and when I hear her sing those incredible words, 'It's good to be alive', it gets to me, her determination and resilience, and the way she's so positive so much of the time, it would be so easy to be defeated by this awful condition, many have been, and have taken their own lives as a result, but she refuses to let it get the better of her, and on Sunday, in an Instagram post, she was very visible in front of the stage with her family dancing to the music of part of the concert, albeit her dad was carrying the bag with her pumps in it. This song was written 20 years ago, before Emma was born, but it's been on the shelf, almost as if it were waiting for Emma, never performed by any other singer, and it very much suits both her and Andre with the orchestra, while she can and does sing pop, it's clear that the big orchestra as backing very much suits her singing style, and she's become even more powerful as a singer over the last year, those top notes, and for such length, I don't know how she does it, but she very much does, just sublime, and with the orchestra providing that incredible final section, it's classic Andre big climax, and Emma very much rises to the challenge. The rest of my comments are not original, typing is a big challenge right now, but it's important to me to give Emma the support and encouragement she deserves. Emma so beautifully did to you the same as she does to me, and millions more, it's one of the reasons why this song had reached nearly 3 million views since the release, and why it will probably go on to have more views than Voila, which is still climbing the numbers, now in excess of 62 million in less than 12 months, Emma's natural ability to reach so deep into her audience, to speak so wonderfully, and to deliver incredible songs like this one, they are the reason for her popularity. Emma was honoured to be asked to perform as part of the annual commemoration events in May of this year to remember the huge number of lives lost liberating the Netherlands from German occupation in WWII, she sang at several events across the country, the most prominent being a duet with April Darby, singing ' When you believe', ua-cam.com/video/YG8WV1GFt_c/v-deo.html This concert was in Amsterdam, in the presence of the Dutch Royal family, and a significant number of high ranking politicians, and she absolutely nailed the performance. For me, her strongest performance of this series was in the Hague, a Demi Levato cover of a technically challening song, 'Father', and she absolutely excelled in this one, an incredible performance. ua-cam.com/video/zXWBj7-edWU/v-deo.html From the same concert, another cover, 'Hero', ua-cam.com/video/rohP0V3ECRY/v-deo.html From the same series of concerts, 'You raise me up', ua-cam.com/video/NIXB7TbeMvw/v-deo.html More recently, she sang the Dutch National Anthem at the Moto GP event at Assen, with the same military band who have been her backing in the recent commemoration concerts, she has ice in her veins, 110,000 people at the event, and a worldwide audience in the multiple hundreds of millions, and again she absolutely nailed the performance, and was also wearing beautiful attire, very classic, very much in keeping with her image. ua-cam.com/video/qhsIj-iwKtE/v-deo.html It was good to see that MotoGP gave her a significant contribution to her foundation. A complete change, just to give you a flavour of where she's come from, this next video was a part of a much longer concert arranged by her brother Enzo, Part of the Enzo concert in June 2020, so she was 12 at the time, and a tiny 12, 'Opportunity' ua-cam.com/video/oMyqCs6zZP4/v-deo.html I love the way she ends it with a spoken, 'I guarantee', and that beautiful smile that says she absolutely meant it, and at the same time knew she's just nailed that performance, it happens a lot, that cute smile at the end of a significant performance, it was the same with Voila, she turned to Andre, arms wide, with a smile, no words, but it was clear what she meant, 'How was that?', and Andre's response said it all, one word, 'Fantatstic', the embrace and bringing her back for more of the standing ovation, a wonderful moment. A beautiful home video recorded several years ago during Covid, A Disney film cover, 'Part Of Your World' - @halle (The little mermaid) ua-cam.com/video/itxs-aNyRJY/v-deo.html Another song that is special to Emma because of her health situation, a Miley Cyrus cover, 'The Climb', recorded for Tube feeding week. ua-cam.com/video/dOhzlDEuCBg/v-deo.html When I Get There - @PinkVideoVault, a song about the passing of a very close friend, given Emma's own situation, so incredibly deep and moving, just incredible. Translation of the note in Dutch, Last night my dear friend Angela became a star! I'm going to miss you incredibly much, but every time I look at the starry sky I know you're looking back ua-cam.com/video/0nIpN86mw6E/v-deo.html I hope this gives you a feel for where Emma has come from, and more importantly, where she's going, there is no doubt that as long as her health situation doesn't change, she will be making bigger and better waves for a long time to come, and it's clear that she is very happy and comfortable working with Andre and his orchestra at the moment, I am hoping that will continue beyond the end of the 2024 tour season, while it's also good that she can and does do other work outside of the significant demands of the world tour with Andre. I will close with my normal appeal to everyone reading or listening to this channel, and also apologise that my recent comments are more repetitive than usual, I'm struggling with typing as a result of an injury that has one wrist in a splint, but Emma still deserves and needs as much support as possible, her situation hasn't changed since that first appearance with Andre last July, she is still tied to her two external feeding pumps for 22 hours a day, and I know from recent social media posts, she finds that hard to cope with at times, despite that she's loving the singing with Andre. Emma deserves all the support she can be given, as her foundation works to help find better treatments, or even possibly a cure for this awful disease, her foundation is almost unique in terms of the work they are doing, there's been very little research into a devastating illness, the effects on the sufferers are huge. Emma's foundation can be found at gastrostars.nl Please, if at all possible, join me in making a (regular) contribution to her foundation, to enable them to help patients like Emma, and research this awful disease that has affected her from birth, and requires her to be tied to the pumps and feeding tubes since she was 9 MONTHS old, for 22 hours a day, hopefully, the work of her foundation will find a cure. Please also be very careful, her increased visibility has resulted in significant numbers of bad actors creating fake accounts, and looking for money to fund 'special operations', or to get access to fan web sales or VIP event tickets on payment of a significant initial membership fee, they are ALL fake, the ONLY valid web site that supports Emma and others like her is the gastrostars site, and she NEVER makes private message appeals for donations or support, and NEVER sends messages asking you to log on to an external site to claim the wonderful ticket you've won by being a fan, they are all fake and fraudulent. One of the main people in Gastrostars is a surgeon who has a lot of experience in dealing with gastroparesis, and she is not only a surgeon, but also suffers from the same disease herself, to the extent that as a result of her condition worsening, she's had to leave her role in the hospital, and she is now dedicated to the foundation, and working to help find possible new treatments, or even better the cure that will free people like Emma to live a more normal life, rather than be tied to the feeding pumps for so many hours every day. It will be so good if the work of Emma's foundation can lead to a better treatment, or even a cure, which will free her to do more singing, and it may be people here who make that possible.
I forget that she even has a health condition when I hear her sing. Tears just do not stop when she sings. I call her a Bard. Someone who just makes one FEEL what she is feeling, sharing her Soul, which not many singers do. It is singers who as soon as they start singing and then you are "Lost". Those I call Bards. They take you on a journey that we will never forget.
I listened this song again and again too. My reaction deserves more. WOW. WOW. WOW. This is WOW. Emotional and Mind blowing. I was really touched by your reaction too. I am still emotional every time I listen to this song. this is an amazing arrangement. She made it her own and she really gets to you. Her whole being was in to that. I broke.... again. As i said in my comment on 'Voila', i ask you, almost beg you to react to some other songs of Emma. In particular her performance with orchestra of "Father" a cover from Demi Lovato. She sings it to the all the (American) Veterans (of world War II) and giving me a whole new meaning to this powerful song of Demi Lovato. The video (with the white dress) is my favorite , it gives meaning and see in the background the 'sound man' breaking from the start, but genuinely crying at the end. It means something to him as it did to me. P.s. If you don't know the lyrics of Father, find them on the internet. Demi wrote a powerful song with strong lyrics. I love how Emma gives her version meaning.
Hi Andy, Today at 5pm (CET) Emma announced her very own concert for October 2025 at the Royal Concert Hall in Amsterdam. At 7pm Emma appeared on the 'Carrie on Friday' show on Dutch TV to further announce the news. After she was interviewed she sang John Lennon's 'Imagine', by the time she finished singing, the concert was fully sold out! Here is Emma from this evening singing 'Imagine'; with TV quality audio / video - its magnificent. Plus, along with other first class musicians, her brother Enzo accompanied her on violin; how cool is that. ua-cam.com/video/xpAIqyDybhk/v-deo.html
Latest news about Emma: also next year (2025) Emma will go on tour with André Rieu and his orchestra. And, thanks to André, she will have her very own show in the Royal Concerthall in Amsterdam on 21 October 2025. This is a dream Emma has since she did win 'Voice Kids Holland' in 2021. And this is not far from a miracle: just 3 hours(!) after a very happy Emma made the announcement her show was SOLD OUT! Very recently she has performed a 'Disney medly' (to be found on UA-cam) and on 4 January 2025 she will be guest star in a real Disney show. O yes: this girl is "Dancing On The Stars"..... literally. But luckely: Emma is 'Emma', a normal 16 year old who happens to have this gift. Recently someone was wondering (and now I am doing that myself as well) if Emma has pain, or even much pain, when she sings because of her condition? Or has her body adapted to the situation she is in. On stage you see nothing of that, but it is known Emma is a tough lady who can handle lots of pain: she must undergo stomach surgery in hospital every 5 months and she refuses anesthesia since 2021 (the year she won 'Voice Kids Holland') to minimize the risks for her vocal cords...... because she wants to sing and perform.
Thank you for making me aware of this talented young lady the last few weeks. Still hoping you do a reaction to one of Gerfil Flores songs. Last one she did on her channel was from the musical music man "Till there was you"

I don't know why you think there are copyright issues on a private song given to Emma. Both Mr Oosterhuis and Andre are keen supporters and friends of Emma.
This video was copyright claimed just like “Voila” was until I disputed both of them. I recorded this last week and had to delay release while the copyright dispute was resolved.
I love how you react to the songs and the singers 😉 Could you react to the singer Mariza from Portugal, because I would like to see your reaction not only to her voice but also to the music she performs.

Interestingly, Andre is also at a high consciousness level and he likely spotted the same in Emma during her first rehearsal. They are indeed two powerful people working together and the result is apparent. I hope she stays with him for a longer period of time. They are mutually beneficial to one another and they both have similar goals, namely bringing love and joy to the world.
Emma due to her physical condition can not sing a 1 hour concert. So she can not be a regular star, but she is safe with Andre who said he feels a little like her father. And that shows. With a whole orchestra to take care of her and help her with her study. Legally she has to.
Thank you for such an enthusiastic and sincere reaction. And of course an amazing girl and her song♥️
🤗🍒🌹 great job
Tjeerd Oosterhuis wrote a Disney song for Emma.
And Emma has performed it superbly together with Andre and his amazing orchestra!;
Q gran reaccion a Emma...sobre todo q agregas subtítulos, esta cancion e interpretacion tocan el alma, nos conmovio a todos, ella es un ejemplo a seguir...saludos desde Perú.
Every single performance is purely magical.
On that square in Maastricht there are 12500 people. Greetings from Roelof Netherlands.
In addition to having a beautiful voice, Emma is very friendly. I loved your reaction! Please, I would really like you to react to the Brazilian #gabriehenrique singing I Want To Know What Love Is with the choir Black To Black, released on June 6th on his official channel here on UA-cam. It's really impressive!
Who couldn't love this performance and who couldn't love your reaction?!
Exactly! Goosebumbs with his reaction! My top 5 reaction ever in years!
Thanks so much!
Wow! Thank you!!
Thanks for reviewing this for us. Your reactions are priceless.
I enjoyed watching your reaction to this latest song from Emma, simply because I knew what was coming, and the effect it would have on you, and you didn't let me down, you responded with exactly the delight that I knew you would, Emma has that same effect on you as she does on me, her ability and strength is just stunning.
I'd love to be able to type a longer and more specific response, but a wrist in a splint after a mishap here makes that impossible, but I can share some earlier comments that will point you in the right direction, and help you explore the Emma phenomenon.
Emma can be off the pumps for a maximum of two hours a day, for the shows with Andre, she usually sings two songs, and the second song has changed several times over the year, even in Maastricht it's been different, and during the Christmas concerts last year, she did more, but with a break and costume change between them. I suspect that a 'big song' takes a lot out of her, and although she doesn't talk much about the limitations she experiences, we know that at times, she ends up using a wheelchair, more than 2 flights of stairs, carrying the equivalent of a boat anchor, the ever present feeding pumps, or even things like a long walk at an airport, they're too much, and it was very evident recently after a feeding tube replacement that didn't go according to plan, Emma was clearly feeling the cold at the rehearsal a couple of days later, she is still tiny when compared to her peers, and she doesn't have the reserves of energy that would be normal for her age, but as has been said, she is a warrior, she refuses to be defined by her disease, and fights every inch of the way, and when I hear her sing those incredible words, 'It's good to be alive', it gets to me, her determination and resilience, and the way she's so positive so much of the time, it would be so easy to be defeated by this awful condition, many have been, and have taken their own lives as a result, but she refuses to let it get the better of her, and on Sunday, in an Instagram post, she was very visible in front of the stage with her family dancing to the music of part of the concert, albeit her dad was carrying the bag with her pumps in it.
This song was written 20 years ago, before Emma was born, but it's been on the shelf, almost as if it were waiting for Emma, never performed by any other singer, and it very much suits both her and Andre with the orchestra, while she can and does sing pop, it's clear that the big orchestra as backing very much suits her singing style, and she's become even more powerful as a singer over the last year, those top notes, and for such length, I don't know how she does it, but she very much does, just sublime, and with the orchestra providing that incredible final section, it's classic Andre big climax, and Emma very much rises to the challenge.
The rest of my comments are not original, typing is a big challenge right now, but it's important to me to give Emma the support and encouragement she deserves.
Emma so beautifully did to you the same as she does to me, and millions more, it's one of the reasons why this song had reached nearly 3 million views since the release, and why it will probably go on to have more views than Voila, which is still climbing the numbers, now in excess of 62 million in less than 12 months, Emma's natural ability to reach so deep into her audience, to speak so wonderfully, and to deliver incredible songs like this one, they are the reason for her popularity.
Emma was honoured to be asked to perform as part of the annual commemoration events in May of this year to remember the huge number of lives lost liberating the Netherlands from German occupation in WWII, she sang at several events across the country, the most prominent being a duet with April Darby, singing ' When you believe',
ua-cam.com/video/YG8WV1GFt_c/v-deo.html
This concert was in Amsterdam, in the presence of the Dutch Royal family, and a significant number of high ranking politicians, and she absolutely nailed the performance.
For me, her strongest performance of this series was in the Hague, a Demi Levato cover of a technically challening song, 'Father', and she absolutely excelled in this one, an incredible performance.
ua-cam.com/video/zXWBj7-edWU/v-deo.html
From the same concert, another cover, 'Hero',
ua-cam.com/video/rohP0V3ECRY/v-deo.html
From the same series of concerts, 'You raise me up',
ua-cam.com/video/NIXB7TbeMvw/v-deo.html
More recently, she sang the Dutch National Anthem at the Moto GP event at Assen, with the same military band who have been her backing in the recent commemoration concerts, she has ice in her veins, 110,000 people at the event, and a worldwide audience in the multiple hundreds of millions, and again she absolutely nailed the performance, and was also wearing beautiful attire, very classic, very much in keeping with her image.
ua-cam.com/video/qhsIj-iwKtE/v-deo.html
It was good to see that MotoGP gave her a significant contribution to her foundation.
A complete change, just to give you a flavour of where she's come from, this next video was a part of a much longer concert arranged by her brother Enzo, Part of the Enzo concert in June 2020, so she was 12 at the time, and a tiny 12, 'Opportunity'
ua-cam.com/video/oMyqCs6zZP4/v-deo.html
I love the way she ends it with a spoken, 'I guarantee', and that beautiful smile that says she absolutely meant it, and at the same time knew she's just nailed that performance, it happens a lot, that cute smile at the end of a significant performance, it was the same with Voila, she turned to Andre, arms wide, with a smile, no words, but it was clear what she meant, 'How was that?', and Andre's response said it all, one word, 'Fantatstic', the embrace and bringing her back for more of the standing ovation, a wonderful moment.
A beautiful home video recorded several years ago during Covid, A Disney film cover, 'Part Of Your World' - @halle (The little mermaid)
ua-cam.com/video/itxs-aNyRJY/v-deo.html
Another song that is special to Emma because of her health situation, a Miley Cyrus cover, 'The Climb', recorded for Tube feeding week.
ua-cam.com/video/dOhzlDEuCBg/v-deo.html
When I Get There - @PinkVideoVault, a song about the passing of a very close friend, given Emma's own situation, so incredibly deep and moving, just incredible.
Translation of the note in Dutch,
Last night my dear friend Angela became a star!
I'm going to miss you incredibly much, but every time I look at the starry sky I know you're looking back
ua-cam.com/video/0nIpN86mw6E/v-deo.html
I hope this gives you a feel for where Emma has come from, and more importantly, where she's going, there is no doubt that as long as her health situation doesn't change, she will be making bigger and better waves for a long time to come, and it's clear that she is very happy and comfortable working with Andre and his orchestra at the moment, I am hoping that will continue beyond the end of the 2024 tour season, while it's also good that she can and does do other work outside of the significant demands of the world tour with Andre.
I will close with my normal appeal to everyone reading or listening to this channel, and also apologise that my recent comments are more repetitive than usual, I'm struggling with typing as a result of an injury that has one wrist in a splint, but Emma still deserves and needs as much support as possible, her situation hasn't changed since that first appearance with Andre last July, she is still tied to her two external feeding pumps for 22 hours a day, and I know from recent social media posts, she finds that hard to cope with at times, despite that she's loving the singing with Andre.
Emma deserves all the support she can be given, as her foundation works to help find better treatments, or even possibly a cure for this awful disease, her foundation is almost unique in terms of the work they are doing, there's been very little research into a devastating illness, the effects on the sufferers are huge.
Emma's foundation can be found at gastrostars.nl
Please, if at all possible, join me in making a (regular) contribution to her foundation, to enable them to help patients like Emma, and research this awful disease that has affected her from birth, and requires her to be tied to the pumps and feeding tubes since she was 9 MONTHS old, for 22 hours a day, hopefully, the work of her foundation will find a cure.
Please also be very careful, her increased visibility has resulted in significant numbers of bad actors creating fake accounts, and looking for money to fund 'special operations', or to get access to fan web sales or VIP event tickets on payment of a significant initial membership fee, they are ALL fake, the ONLY valid web site that supports Emma and others like her is the gastrostars site, and she NEVER makes private message appeals for donations or support, and NEVER sends messages asking you to log on to an external site to claim the wonderful ticket you've won by being a fan, they are all fake and fraudulent.
One of the main people in Gastrostars is a surgeon who has a lot of experience in dealing with gastroparesis, and she is not only a surgeon, but also suffers from the same disease herself, to the extent that as a result of her condition worsening, she's had to leave her role in the hospital, and she is now dedicated to the foundation, and working to help find possible new treatments, or even better the cure that will free people like Emma to live a more normal life, rather than be tied to the feeding pumps for so many hours every day.
It will be so good if the work of Emma's foundation can lead to a better treatment, or even a cure, which will free her to do more singing, and it may be people here who make that possible.
You should listen to her singing”Warrior” on The voice in Holland when she was only 12 years old! AMAZING!!
I forget that she even has a health condition when I hear her sing. Tears just do not stop when she sings. I call her a Bard. Someone who just makes one FEEL what she is feeling, sharing her Soul, which not many singers do. It is singers who as soon as they start singing and then you are "Lost". Those I call Bards. They take you on a journey that we will never forget.
Sei troppo simpatico, professionista nel recensire ...
Straight to the soul, like Floor Jansen ❣️
I listened this song again and again too. My reaction deserves more. WOW. WOW. WOW. This is WOW. Emotional and Mind blowing. I was really touched by your reaction too. I am still emotional every time I listen to this song. this is an amazing arrangement. She made it her own and she really gets to you. Her whole being was in to that. I broke.... again.
As i said in my comment on 'Voila', i ask you, almost beg you to react to some other songs of Emma. In particular her performance with orchestra of "Father" a cover from Demi Lovato. She sings it to the all the (American) Veterans (of world War II) and giving me a whole new meaning to this powerful song of Demi Lovato. The video (with the white dress) is my favorite , it gives meaning and see in the background the 'sound man' breaking from the start, but genuinely crying at the end. It means something to him as it did to me.
P.s. If you don't know the lyrics of Father, find them on the internet. Demi wrote a powerful song with strong lyrics. I love how Emma gives her version meaning.
Thanks!
Thank you very much! 💜
Next suggestion Disney in Concert Emma Kok
10 times better than any disney princess. princesses come along every 50 years, not on demand like disney thinks they can push :WW
You need to react to Celine Dion's performance past friday at the Olympics.
There are no words...
Hi Andy,
Today at 5pm (CET) Emma announced her very own concert for October 2025 at the Royal Concert Hall in Amsterdam. At 7pm Emma appeared on the 'Carrie on Friday' show on Dutch TV to further announce the news. After she was interviewed she sang John Lennon's 'Imagine', by the time she finished singing, the concert was fully sold out! Here is Emma from this evening singing 'Imagine'; with TV quality audio / video - its magnificent. Plus, along with other first class musicians, her brother Enzo accompanied her on violin; how cool is that. ua-cam.com/video/xpAIqyDybhk/v-deo.html
Latest news about Emma: also next year (2025) Emma will go on tour with André Rieu and his orchestra. And, thanks to André, she will have her very own show in the Royal Concerthall in Amsterdam on 21 October 2025. This is a dream Emma has since she did win 'Voice Kids Holland' in 2021. And this is not far from a miracle: just 3 hours(!) after a very happy Emma made the announcement her show was SOLD OUT! Very recently she has performed a 'Disney medly' (to be found on UA-cam) and on 4 January 2025 she will be guest star in a real Disney show. O yes: this girl is "Dancing On The Stars"..... literally. But luckely: Emma is 'Emma', a normal 16 year old who happens to have this gift. Recently someone was wondering (and now I am doing that myself as well) if Emma has pain, or even much pain, when she sings because of her condition? Or has her body adapted to the situation she is in. On stage you see nothing of that, but it is known Emma is a tough lady who can handle lots of pain: she must undergo stomach surgery in hospital every 5 months and she refuses anesthesia since 2021 (the year she won 'Voice Kids Holland') to minimize the risks for her vocal cords...... because she wants to sing and perform.
Thank you for making me aware of this talented young lady the last few weeks. Still hoping you do a reaction to one of Gerfil Flores songs. Last one she did on her channel was from the musical music man "Till there was you"
Me encanta tus reacciones.

Too bad you did not include the opening comments about Emma traveling all over the world with Andre and orchestra.
I don't know why you think there are copyright issues on a private song given to Emma. Both Mr Oosterhuis and Andre are keen supporters and friends of Emma.
This video was copyright claimed just like “Voila” was until I disputed both of them. I recorded this last week and had to delay release while the copyright dispute was resolved.
react to majiko - kokoronashi pls!!💕💕💕💕
I love how you react to the songs and the singers 😉
Could you react to the singer Mariza from Portugal, because I would like to see your reaction not only to her voice but also to the music she performs.
