My God Amira is simply fantastic wonderful absolutely incomparable she's an angel from God she is perfect the best of the best Amira is a phenomenon she is a gift from god😂
She is now 18 but you probably remember her from when she was 9 and won Holland's Got Talent singing opera. She was and even more so an awesome singer!
Amira Willighagen was born March 27, 2004, so she was 13 years old in 2017. Bagpipes are frequently used to play Amazing Grace in memorial services in the US, especially for fallen firefighters and police officers.
I know this is 2 years in your past, but wanted you to know that I still watch Amira thru your reaction about once per month. Her singing and your reaction recharge my soul.
Amira always Makes me cry, I love her voice and I am in my 60s and I have never liked Classical music until I heard Amiras Voice . I have notice some Comments on some of Amira Videos, some people who comment there views and go on about her voice not being right etc etc Critics!!! they are either partly deaf or jealous SHE IS Unique Thank you
She is very unique and distinctive. The critics are always looking for technical perfection and ignoring strength and emotion. The old saying is those that can, do.....those who can't, teach.... those who can do neither become critics.
@@oldtexan1231 Agree 100% with that truism. And most of them are very unhappy and bitter people, especially when they see a child perform who has already exceeded anything they are capable of doing.
I love Amira her voice will never be equalled it's so beautiful and unique, and Amazing Grace is supposed to be accompanied by the pipes and this is the best version I have ever heard and I've listened to this many many times simply beautiful, wooow.
I forgot to mention in my last comment that I would love your reaction on another of Amira’s performances & that is Hallelujah. It’s an absolute must, must, must!!! Waiting “impatiently “.
It's hard to believe Amira is self taught by listening to opera music on UA-cam, she is sensational and has taken the world by storm simply beautiful x🌷
The amazing thing about Amira learning to sing opera from UA-cam is that she somehow discerned the proper placement of every tone. Every note, every vowel sound, every pitch showed such maturity at age 9 that most singers don't achieve until after several years of voice lessons with a good teacher/coach. I have "studied" under some voice teachers that taught a severe nasal quality! I changed teachers twice, the maximum allowed in college.
Amira was at that time 14 years old. She won the Dutch Got Talent show when she was 9. Yess she has a incredable voice. You also must watch Your love. That is the titelsong of The great Western Once Upon a time in the West by Ennio Morricone. There lalso come the high notes. Hope you enjoy that too
Of course: since she had won HGT she has proper vocal education and that pays of for her. Then what she does is very demanding for the voice and when you do that for a very long time without good technic the voice could be damaged. Listen to her: clear as cristal and the tones sharp as a knive... Even people who do not like classic music enjoy this... classic music. That happens when someone is so good in it.
Amira won Holland's Got Talent when she was only 9 years old. Her first performance got her the Golden ticket and is on UA-cam as "Amira Willighagen-O Mio Babbino Caro-for English-speaking viewers". Amira sang a wonderful duet with handsome Italian singer Patrizio Buonne on July 30, 2016 at the Classic is Groot concert in S. Africa. On You Tube it is entitled "Amira Willighagen-Live in Concert-O Sole Mio". A wonderful 13 year old opera singer named Solomia Lukyanets appeared on The Voice Kids in 2015 on a UA-cam Video entitled "Andrea Bocelli-Time To Say Goodbye (Solomia)-The Voice Kids 2015-Blind Auditions". She first appeared in 2012 singing the same song with Russian soprano Aida Garifullina. The You Tube video is entitled "Solomia Lukyanets & Aida Garifullina-Time to say goodbuy".
Your face said it all... You had your "Amira Moment", as my family calls it! She is so incredibly talented and angelic. I recommend Amira singing "The Flower Duet" with Corlea Botha (Amira is about 12 or 13), "O Solo Mio" with Patrizio Buanne, "Nella Fantasia" (both when she was 12) and of course, "O Mio Bambino Caro" with André Rieu when she was only about 10. And if you want to be really amazed, watch her audition for Holland's Got Talent (for English speaking viewers) when she was only 9, which was before she had any training at all. A pure, beautiful talent.
Amira is not trying to be impressive. She's singing so naturally and is like coming from heaven. And everything on stage was perfectly done. It's the case that a reaction can tell more than words.
Well done Queen. In my opinion the finest performance by a soloist I have ever seen. I have loved this song for many years, I heard it from a televised Billy Graham rally in NYC, 1959. I was 12. I have heard very good performances. This was a different level more than technique; a gracious heart and soul, a gift for the listener and tribute for the author of her faith; my opinion. PETER U S A
This is the best of Amira's performances that I have heard. She is much better than she was when her technique and vocal control had not developed fully but people were already praising her to the skies, and the hype was off-putting. She does have a fine range and a much improved technique. She may well be a great diva one day.
She was 9 years old for god's sake with NO singing and breath control lessons. We were in awe because to us she was a miracle. Have you ever experienced this before? just copying off utube. So to you the singing with Andre at the age of just 10, yes that's 10, was mediocre, the mind boggles. When she reaches her prime, that's if she carries on singing, she is excellent in every thing she enjoys including running, she'll be the diva of divas, the soprano of soprano's. Enough said......
Amira hat noch sooo viele schöne Lieder. Bitte alle anschauen. Amira ist die beste Sängerin in dieser Zeit. Bei YOUR LOVE von amira kommen mir die Tränen. Ich bin gespannt auf Ihren Kommentar.
Your reaction was very similar to my reaction the first time I heard her sing, mouth wide open! I first discovered Amira about a year and a half ago singing at the age of nine. Amira is currently 14 years old, she was 13 when she sung Amazing Grace. She quite possible the best female vocalist in the Universe. She is not that well known especially in USA. Her voice has really matured the last couple of years and she will be a sensation world wide when she is aggressively promoted. Because she is still young the promotion of her talent has been moderate. Other pieces to react to are Nessun Dorma and Nella Fantasia. You will find any performance by Amira to be breathtaking no kidding!
Judy Collins had a huge hit with Amazing Grace in 1970/71. What caught everyone by surprise , because it was such a novelty, was 1972 and the the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards having an instrumental hit with it played on the bagpipes. Ever since the tune has been associated with bagpipes. It was originally composed by the captain of a slave ship, who repented and saw the light. You've seen and reacted to the amazing Amira so I won't update you with her prowess. Suffice to say she was probably 10 when she delivered this jaw dropping performance.
Plz continue doing Amira reactions, I enjoy u enjoying Amira. You are a very attractive person n obviously very knowledgeable musically so It would have been natural for u to hav a negative bias against another, much younger, female vocalist. But to your great credit, u remained totally objective, which I admire greatly. I hav been enjoying her UA-cam videos since she was 9 four old, four years earlier on Holland's Got Talent. I love watching your reactions. I'm subscribing. Plz watch all of her videos and put your reaction on UA-cam. You r priceless to watch and fun to watch. Make sure u catch 'Amira Duet' with mature overweight opera singer, it is a sound like I've never heard. Almost from another dimension, plz watch n 'react'. Mike. I stand corrected, Amira was 13.5 yrs old when she sang this version of Amazing Grace.
You have reacted to her before when she was on Holland's Got Talent. She was 9 years old then. I am pretty sure she is 12 years old here. Great reaction. I thought you were going to cry.
,You asked how old she is, she won the Holland got talent when she was nine. The song Amazing Grace she sang at the age of 14 (2018). I think she is great, give her some more years and she is out of this world
+Willem Schoorl: Amira is born on March 27, 2004. This performance took place in June 2017 when she had just turned 13. And yes, I agree, Amira is great and her voice is the most beautiful I ever heard.
Yes - you have now been "infected" with Amira Fever - no known cure, except to carry on being mesmerised by an audacious talent that grips your emotions - world tour beckoning!
It has been a looong long time since you reacted to any of Amira’s performances, & I bring to your attention a performance by Amira in 2019 , now 15 years old ( young). It is a Medley of Sound of Music in which she shows us what a delightful young lady she is becoming. Her diction is beautiful & the resonance of her voice is amazing. Her voice control , for such a young singer astounds me. She has the ability to display her most powerful voice without effort in all of her amazing range. The vibrato is even & controlled; something you would expect from a seasoned singer as it can take years to get to where Amira is. There are other very talented Sopranos around, but they appear to strain in the high register & their vibrato appears forced. This Medley isn’t true soprano, but it does show what an exquisite singer Amira Willighagen is. Please react to this performance as I do like your approach when reacting.
Amira sining is too advanced for this reactor. This reactor prefers pop singers. Btw. Amira and her Sound Of Music proves her uniqueness. No one else can sing like Amira. Other talented sopranos like Patricia Janeckova and Solomia Lukyanets both have standard soprano voices..
Amira is from Holland. Her family was participating on Queens Day, her parents and brother playing music and she wanted to do something, too. So she sat down and watched UA-cam videos of opera singers (she loves Jackie Evancho) and taught herself to sing. She auditioned for Holland's Got Talent singing O Mio Babino Caro and blew the judges away. She went on to win HGT at age 9!!!
when she did that concert she was 13. she taught herself how to sing opera at the age of 9, by watching UA-cam videos, she came to attention of her fans by appearing and winning HGT (Hollands Got Talent) and it's been a wonderful journey us, her fans and for Amira herself as she gets better and better each time we see and hear her.
She was on Holland has Talent when she was 9 years old and sang Opera. She is 14 years old and her last name is pronounced Villig haug gen the Dutch for Willighagen. I think you already saw her before she won the year she was on Holland has Talent.
It kinda doesn't look like I'm not going to make it to heaven, but I must say I am thankful I have in this short lifetime, been graced with hearing the voice of an angel. If angels sound even better than Amira, I would probably flood heaven anyway. What a joy.
Amira is another audition video that went viral. Well worth checking out (and possibly reacting to). She was nine, sang "Oh mio babbino caro". Impressed me more than this one in fact, incredible warmth and vibrato in the alto range in that rendition. Also hit high notes, but I remember her more for the low ones. Today I get the feeling that she is held back by her vocal coaches in order to not wear out her voice; she sings with a much lighter touch than back then. I found it funny that you never heard amazing grace being played on the bagpipes. It's an iconic piece to be played on that instrument. But it does make sense. If you're into bagpipes, you probably have heard it. If you are just into the song, not necessarily.
I am biased as I am one of those who regard Amira as the finest voice on the planet. Maybe not technically but a tone so unique. The reason for that maybe that prior to emerging onto the world scene she had not had any singing tuition and had taught herself by watching You Tube and Andrea Bocelli in particular. Amira is Dutch but has recently moved to South Africa, which is where her Mum comes from. Before she was ever known her Mum took her to South Africa and while there she, at 7 years old, became disturbed to see that the children of the townships had no safe place for play. Now she has become a world star and is earning big money she is giving a large part of that to a charity she herself created called Gellukskinders. So far she has funded the building of 5 playgrounds in various townships. Try to watch her sing Your Love, which is the lyric version of the theme from Once Upon A Time In The West (Charlie Bronson, Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale) and also her sensational duet with Patrizio Buanne singing O Sole Mio. By the way she is also a national standard athlete in Holland in her age group, and is already making her mark in that direction in SA. Last comment try to see her with Andre Rieu.
Wauw, one of the most beautiful versions i ever seen! This is the first time i saw her doing this song. Do you know André Rieu, the famous violin player? His version is my number 1, and even more because he knows me,that makes for me so special and thankfull! André his version with a lot of bagpipes in Australia is the best version,if you want to look for that one! 🙏
It’s been ages since you reacted to Amira, so may I suggest a couple of her performances that I think you would enjoy reacting to. Ave Maria Gomez ( Canisius Church) this is absolutely stunning. I think she was 11 in this performance. If it was only audio, you would think it was a fully trained opera singer with a truly beautiful tone. Then something a little different is a medley she sings from Sound of Music at the age of 15. It is in this performance that her maturity in voice & self is evident. She creates a beautiful rendition with a vibrancy & resonance that lingers . A truly wonderful work of art. I subscribed to your Chanel some times ago & I admire your reaction style & performance critique which is genuine & informative. Would really appreciate more Amira reactions from you at your earliest.
Everyone gets emotional when they hear Amira sing. She was 13 when she sang this, in the yearly South African concert. I know I've said this before, don't remember if I said it on this video. Still bears repeating, I think. I couldn't be more proud of her if she was my own child.
She was 14-years-old here. She turned 15 this past March (2019) born in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 and now lives in South Africa 🇿🇦 with her mother (parents separated this year or last year). In my opinion Amira Willighagen has the most beautiful singing voice in the world 🌎 today male or female and any age or genre of music. Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸
When she won NGT it was truly the first time I heard an angel sing. Singers are not supposed to be compared, but I preferred Amira over Jackie Evancho (who is also excellent) because I felt Amira was more soulful.
In answer to your question: She is 14, and she is a Dutch natural talented Opera singer. You should check out her video of Holland's Got Talent from 2013 when she was 9 years old singing: Mio Bambino Caro perfectly as if she was a veteran adult opera singer. Amira is a naturaly gifted singer who is also self-taught. She never had a singing teacher of any kind. She just listens to a song she likes and learns how to sing it perfectly without any aid whatsoever. PRO TIP: Watch Amira & André Rieu: Mio Bambino Caro (opera) and be blown away! :D This is the link of her singing opera like a veteran adult at age 9 on Holland's got Talent in 2013: ua-cam.com/video/_NfnSgYqM4M/v-deo.html
A wonderful 13 year old opera singer named Solomia Lukyanets appeared on The Voice Kids in 2015 on a UA-cam Video entitled "Andrea Bocelli-Time To Say Goodbye (Solomia)-The Voice Kids 2015-Blind Auditions". She first appeared in 2012 singing the same song with Russian soprano Aida Garifullina. The You Tube video is entitled "Solomia Lukyanets & Aida Garifullina-Time to say goodbuy".
Probably a little late in reminding you that you have reacted to Amira on I think 2 occasions, one being as a 9 year old when she won Holland’s got talent singing O Mio Bambino Caro. Would love you to react to many more as this young lady (13 at the time of your reaction) as she is a legend in the making. Her voice is so clean & pure with an incredible range and voice control that is absolutely perfect. Also ,it would take years of practice to use voice vibrato as well as Amira does & being so young is simply unbelievable. Love your reactions & am “impatiently “ waiting to hear more on Amira
Thank you for your very accurate comments; most of what needs to be said has been said, but I would add my appreciation of your reaction to the whole production; it comes from the Coleske Artists (Pretoria, South Africa) DVD "Classics is Groot" 2017" (from the concert of that name); it is not generally available outside South Africa, but there are a small number in stock at Amira's charity foundation, Gelukskinders.org/store but they are for region 2, so it is not a simple matter to play them in other regions. On the same DVD are her performances (at the same concert) of Nessun Dorma, the Flower Duet (from Delibes' opera, "Lakme"), and the group performances of Amigos Para Siempre and My Way, in which Amira does her part as part of the whole team. The arrangements are by "Floors" Oosthuizen and his charming wife. You can find most of these on YT in lower-quality versions. Amira was invited as a guest to the 2016 version of Classics is Groot, and sang O Mio Babbino Caro and then O sole mio, with Patrizio Buanne - (the YT version of this went viral; it can be found on "Amira's Archive") and Nella Fantasia; and she stole the show, so they invited her back in November 2016 to give another 11 performances at the Afrikaans language version, "Afrikaans is Groot". She now has a recording contract with Coleske Artists, and has produced her third album, "with all my heart". which is now available in digital form from Amazon and Itunes.
There's much much more from , Amira started out on Holland talent show when she was 9 years old singing opera winning it. you can find more of her on UA-cam
Amira is 14 years old. In 2013, at the age of 9, she won NGT with classical music. At the age of 9, she still has a performance with Andre Rieu in Maastricht in front of 10,000 spectators in 2014. She sang O Mio Babbino Caro. She had no music lessons until then, Amira had taught herself everything about UA-cam herself. Must see.
The official and right name of our country is The Netherlands. Still many people (even many Dutch) call it Holland which actually is a part of The Netherlands. The name of the TV programme is Holland's Got Talent = HGT.
Two other intriguing versions of Amazing Grace on UA-cam are a version by female American contralto Anastasia Lee Johnson entitled "Amazing Grace-Gospel cover by 18 year old Anastasia Lee classical crossover artist" and a massed bagpipe version performed in Red Square in 2007 at the Kremlin Zoria festival entitled "Amazing Grace" (2 minutes and 37 seconds).
In this video Amira is 13 years old. ( maybe you know she won Holland's got talent when she was 9 years old ) More Amira video's : O sole Mio with Patrizio Buanne ua-cam.com/video/dDESzUuZuC0/v-deo.html ( 12 years old ) or the Flower Duet with Corlea Botha ua-cam.com/video/Kk1l84UW1pI/v-deo.html
Let's send only one word to you ”A mind is like a parachute, it does not work if it is not open” by Frank Zappa amira is best best of best amira is perfect
You reacted to her once before from Holland Got Talent, when she was 9. You possibly remember the judge asking if he needed earplugs. Amira and Jackie are in slightly different fields, Jackie is more crossover whilst Amira is more classical, however betwee them they have the two most beautiful serious music voices kn the planet. Try to wat h Amira sing "Your Love" and Jackie sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" whilst walking through water both breathtaking.
Amira never ceases to amaze me! Beautiful Beautiful! Beautiful...what else can possibly be said?
Stunned disbelief followed by tears is the normal reaction to Amira. Afterwards, the sound of that marvellous voice lives in the heart.
My God Amira is simply fantastic wonderful absolutely incomparable she's an angel from God she is perfect the best of the best Amira is a phenomenon she is a gift from god😂

She is age 13 and from the Netherlands. The concert was in 2017 in S. Africa.
My favorite voice on the planet.
So love her🌹 beautiful little lady
That was the most angelic version of that song, that I have ever heard . I love the bagpipes at the beginning .
Amira is an incredible gift to the world, touching people's hearts with her voice and her kindness. Thank you for your beautiful reaction.
Hi Rainier - another great platform to evaluate Amira - we need one after UMG pulled OMBC with Andre Rieu -
Rob Louw: Rob, i check several times a day if that video (36M views) is already back. I think I am having a withdrawal syndrome. 😅
At the same concert she also sang Nessum Dorma and Flower Duetr with Corlea Botha (from South Africa.

+Willem Schoorl: Amira is born on March 27, 2004. This performance took place in June 2017 when she had just turned 13. And yes, I agree, Amira is great and her voice is the most beautiful I ever heard.
I agree with les , the most beautiful voice on the planet.

@@mirceaioanmarcut619 Very cheesy, old-fashioned. No comparison with Amira new and sublime style.
I have heard this many times, i get emotional every time
Yes - you have now been "infected" with Amira Fever - no known cure, except to carry on being mesmerised by an audacious talent that grips your emotions - world tour beckoning!
Yes, without any doubt! Amira is so perfect! I have my daily dose and also a cry.
Your reaction is exactly how I feel every time I watch Amar. She is the best.

It has been a looong long time since you reacted to any of Amira’s performances, & I bring to your attention a performance by Amira in 2019 , now 15 years old ( young). It is a Medley of Sound of Music in which she shows us what a delightful young lady she is becoming. Her diction is beautiful & the resonance of her voice is amazing. Her voice control , for such a young singer astounds me. She has the ability to display her most powerful voice without effort in all of her amazing range. The vibrato is even & controlled; something you would expect from a seasoned singer as it can take years to get to where Amira is. There are other very talented Sopranos around, but they appear to strain in the high register & their vibrato appears forced. This Medley isn’t true soprano, but it does show what an exquisite singer Amira Willighagen is. Please react to this performance as I do like your approach when reacting.
Amira sining is too advanced for this reactor. This reactor prefers pop singers. Btw. Amira and her Sound Of Music proves her uniqueness. No one else can sing like Amira. Other talented sopranos like Patricia Janeckova and Solomia Lukyanets both have standard soprano voices..
Amira is from Holland. Her family was participating on Queens Day, her parents and brother playing music and she wanted to do something, too. So she sat down and watched UA-cam videos of opera singers (she loves Jackie Evancho) and taught herself to sing. She auditioned for Holland's Got Talent singing O Mio Babino Caro and blew the judges away. She went on to win HGT at age 9!!!
when she did that concert she was 13. she taught herself how to sing opera at the age of 9, by watching UA-cam videos, she came to attention of her fans by appearing and winning HGT (Hollands Got Talent) and it's been a wonderful journey us, her fans and for Amira herself as she gets better and better each time we see and hear her.
she is the 9 year old who sang on holland got talent in 2013 which you have seen!
She was on Holland has Talent when she was 9 years old and sang Opera. She is 14 years old and her last name is pronounced Villig haug gen the Dutch for Willighagen. I think you already saw her before she won the year she was on Holland has Talent.
It kinda doesn't look like I'm not going to make it to heaven, but I must say I am thankful I have in this short lifetime, been graced with hearing the voice of an angel. If angels sound even better than Amira, I would probably flood heaven anyway. What a joy.
Amira is another audition video that went viral. Well worth checking out (and possibly reacting to). She was nine, sang "Oh mio babbino caro". Impressed me more than this one in fact, incredible warmth and vibrato in the alto range in that rendition. Also hit high notes, but I remember her more for the low ones. Today I get the feeling that she is held back by her vocal coaches in order to not wear out her voice; she sings with a much lighter touch than back then.
I found it funny that you never heard amazing grace being played on the bagpipes. It's an iconic piece to be played on that instrument. But it does make sense. If you're into bagpipes, you probably have heard it. If you are just into the song, not necessarily.
Your stages of amazement as the song progressed echoed my own except I had more tears flowing
I am biased as I am one of those who regard Amira as the finest voice on the planet. Maybe not technically but a tone so unique. The reason for that maybe that prior to emerging onto the world scene she had not had any singing tuition and had taught herself by watching You Tube and Andrea Bocelli in particular. Amira is Dutch but has recently moved to South Africa, which is where her Mum comes from. Before she was ever known her Mum took her to South Africa and while there she, at 7 years old, became disturbed to see that the children of the townships had no safe place for play. Now she has become a world star and is earning big money she is giving a large part of that to a charity she herself created called Gellukskinders. So far she has funded the building of 5 playgrounds in various townships. Try to watch her sing Your Love, which is the lyric version of the theme from Once Upon A Time In The West (Charlie Bronson, Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale) and also her sensational duet with Patrizio Buanne singing O Sole Mio. By the way she is also a national standard athlete in Holland in her age group, and is already making her mark in that direction in SA. Last comment try to see her with Andre Rieu.
Your Love ... ua-cam.com/video/wnl-jEhnf6M/v-deo.html
O Sole Mio ... ua-cam.com/video/P-a-_6ffGOo/v-deo.html
Hi Les - Amira is back in Holland visiting her father, Gerrit - school holidays in SA until 15th of July -
I just hope her professional voice trainers do not ruin her soul sound!
Beautiful...!!!
You asked how old she was when she sang this song. 13 years old. Stunning
She was 13 when this was filmed. She is from Holland.
Wauw, one of the most beautiful versions i ever seen! This is the first time i saw her doing this song. Do you know André Rieu, the famous violin player? His version is my number 1, and even more because he knows me,that makes for me so special and thankfull! André his version with a lot of bagpipes in Australia is the best version,if you want to look for that one! 🙏
Brought tears to my eyes.
Amira won Holland got talents when she was 9. I think she is 14 on that video. She is like an angel.
It’s been ages since you reacted to Amira, so may I suggest a couple of her performances that I think you would enjoy reacting to.
Ave Maria Gomez ( Canisius Church) this is absolutely stunning. I think she was 11 in this performance. If it was only audio, you would think it was a fully trained opera singer with a truly beautiful tone.
Then something a little different is a medley she sings from Sound of Music at the age of 15. It is in this performance that her maturity in voice & self is evident. She creates a beautiful rendition with a vibrancy & resonance that lingers . A truly wonderful work of art.
I subscribed to your Chanel some times ago & I admire your reaction style & performance critique which is genuine & informative.
Would really appreciate more Amira reactions from you at your earliest.
The flower duet and Nella fantasia by Amira are also amazing and beautiful!
Everyone gets emotional when they hear Amira sing. She was 13 when she sang this, in the yearly South African concert. I know I've said this before, don't remember if I said it on this video. Still bears repeating, I think. I couldn't be more proud of her if she was my own child.
Extraordinaria, todo un Angel
She was 14-years-old here. She turned 15 this past March (2019) born in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 and now lives in South Africa 🇿🇦 with her mother (parents separated this year or last year). In my opinion Amira Willighagen has the most beautiful singing voice in the world 🌎 today male or female and any age or genre of music. Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸
2017 she was 13 in this show
I enjoyed u enjoying Amira, I'm guessing she was 14 years old when this was performed.
13 and two months
She was 9 years old when she won Holland's Got Talent. This recording was done at a concert in South Africa when she was 13 years old. She now is 16.
I love Amira
Amira.. es especial...
Happy birthday Amira!
A gift from God! ❤️
When she won NGT it was truly the first time I heard an angel sing. Singers are not supposed to be compared, but I preferred Amira over Jackie Evancho (who is also excellent) because I felt Amira was more soulful.

SHE WAS 9 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE MADE HER DEBUT
...sooooo beautiful a song and melody..goosebumps...and a great reaction!
Search the web for more of Amira’s performances. They are out there and they are stunning
In answer to your question: She is 14, and she is a Dutch natural talented Opera singer. You should check out her video of Holland's Got Talent from 2013 when she was 9 years old singing: Mio Bambino Caro perfectly as if she was a veteran adult opera singer. Amira is a naturaly gifted singer who is also self-taught. She never had a singing teacher of any kind. She just listens to a song she likes and learns how to sing it perfectly without any aid whatsoever. PRO TIP: Watch Amira & André Rieu: Mio Bambino Caro (opera) and be blown away! :D This is the link of her singing opera like a veteran adult at age 9 on Holland's got Talent in 2013: ua-cam.com/video/_NfnSgYqM4M/v-deo.html
Superb!
Nice, beautiful voice...
I once said she was 18 here but I believe she was 15 or 16. Stunning!
A wonderful 13 year old opera singer named Solomia Lukyanets appeared on The Voice Kids in 2015 on a UA-cam Video entitled "Andrea Bocelli-Time To Say Goodbye (Solomia)-The Voice Kids 2015-Blind Auditions". She first appeared in 2012 singing the same song with Russian soprano Aida Garifullina. The You Tube video is entitled "Solomia Lukyanets & Aida Garifullina-Time to say goodbuy".
Probably a little late in reminding you that you have reacted to Amira on I think 2 occasions, one being as a 9 year old when she won Holland’s got talent singing O Mio Bambino Caro.
Would love you to react to many more as this young lady (13 at the time of your reaction) as she is a legend in the making.
Her voice is so clean & pure with an incredible range and voice control that is absolutely perfect. Also ,it would take years of practice to use voice vibrato as well as Amira does & being so young is simply unbelievable.
Love your reactions & am “impatiently “ waiting to hear more on Amira
You need to check out Amira on Hollands Got Talent at 9 yrs old. First appearance is best. She ended up winning the grand prize that year!
Ava Maria in Iceland its flawless
How can you not have heard it with pipes before? Surely that is the main way it is performed, no? Certainly the best way!
Thank you for your very accurate comments; most of what needs to be said has been said, but I would add my appreciation of your reaction to the whole production; it comes from the Coleske Artists (Pretoria, South Africa) DVD "Classics is Groot" 2017" (from the concert of that name); it is not generally available outside South Africa, but there are a small number in stock at Amira's charity foundation, Gelukskinders.org/store but they are for region 2, so it is not a simple matter to play them in other regions. On the same DVD are her performances (at the same concert) of Nessun Dorma, the Flower Duet (from Delibes' opera, "Lakme"), and the group performances of Amigos Para Siempre and My Way, in which Amira does her part as part of the whole team. The arrangements are by "Floors" Oosthuizen and his charming wife. You can find most of these on YT in lower-quality versions. Amira was invited as a guest to the 2016 version of Classics is Groot, and sang O Mio Babbino Caro and then O sole mio, with Patrizio Buanne - (the YT version of this went viral; it can be found on "Amira's Archive") and Nella Fantasia; and she stole the show, so they invited her back in November 2016 to give another 11 performances at the Afrikaans language version, "Afrikaans is Groot". She now has a recording contract with Coleske Artists, and has produced her third album, "with all my heart". which is now available in digital form from Amazon and Itunes.
There's much much more from , Amira started out on Holland talent show when she was 9 years old singing opera winning it. you can find more of her on UA-cam
Amira is 14 years old. In 2013, at the age of 9, she won NGT with classical music. At the age of 9, she still has a performance with Andre Rieu in Maastricht in front of 10,000 spectators in 2014. She sang O Mio Babbino Caro. She had no music lessons until then, Amira had taught herself everything about UA-cam herself. Must see.
It was HGT :-)
@@LeoGielesen I thought it was called Netherlands not Holland.
The official and right name of our country is The Netherlands. Still many people (even many Dutch) call it Holland which actually is a part of The Netherlands. The name of the TV programme is Holland's Got Talent = HGT.
Thanks for the Info. 😉
Two other intriguing versions of Amazing Grace on UA-cam are a version by female American contralto Anastasia Lee Johnson entitled "Amazing Grace-Gospel cover by 18 year old Anastasia Lee classical crossover artist" and a massed bagpipe version performed in Red Square in 2007 at the Kremlin Zoria festival entitled "Amazing Grace" (2 minutes and 37 seconds).
John Culley: I agree. Ms. Anastasia Lee did a very beautiful version.
In this video Amira is 13 years old. ( maybe you know she won Holland's got talent when she was 9 years old )
More Amira video's : O sole Mio with Patrizio Buanne ua-cam.com/video/dDESzUuZuC0/v-deo.html ( 12 years old )
or the Flower Duet with Corlea Botha ua-cam.com/video/Kk1l84UW1pI/v-deo.html
Can you imagine a concert with Evancho, Willighagen and Talbot?
Gerard Trigo: That would be definitely be mindblowing!
except Evancko is really a pop singer with a very good voice
Yes - it would be nearly as good as Amira on her own!

Let's send only one word to you
”A mind is like a parachute, it does not work if it is not open”
by Frank Zappa
amira is best best of best amira is perfect
You reacted to her once before from Holland Got Talent, when she was 9. You possibly remember the judge asking if he needed earplugs. Amira and Jackie are in slightly different fields, Jackie is more crossover whilst Amira is more classical, however betwee them they have the two most beautiful serious music voices kn the planet. Try to wat h Amira sing "Your Love" and Jackie sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" whilst walking through water both breathtaking.
love Amira you mad me cry
Esta niña es única y su voz es de otro mundo
