    That sweet little girl had no idea how powerful her voice was. The first time she saw adults in the audience get moved to tears, she thought she had done or said something wrong.
    I read online what the message of the song is, but I no idea what the words she is singing are. The first time I saw this video, I cried like a baby.
    Don't ever apologize for showing emotion when something truly touches your heart. Emotions are what make us human.

    Interesting comment about links auto deleting. Not heard that before but stuff does disappear.
    Amira was born into a family of amateur musicians. Dad played church organ, mum and older brother both played violin. Feeling left out, she taught herself to sing. She didn't fancy working with an instrument. She said in an interview ( with Classical Crossover magazine - its on YT) that the first opera she remembered was Nessun Dorma on a car cd. She loved it. They have a thing in the Netherlands called Kings or Queen's day, where kids perform for pocket money. She saw her brother earning cash with his violin and wanted some of the action. So her first public performance was at 7. As a family they watched the Got Talent shows, and Amira wanted to appear on TV so her friends could see her. She pestered her parents for two years before they took her for an audition, aged 9. That is on YT, and has had over 40m hits on the one with English subtitles alone Andre Rieu saw it, gave her a masterclass and then offered her this performance, by which time she was 10.
    She is now 20, and is studying music at university. She has not stopped singing, and there are a lot of excellent videos of her during the last 10 years. As well as opera, she sings film/ theatre show tunes, religious music, and what's loosely called Crossover., she favours inspirational music. The first thing she did when she gained celebrity status, at a tender age, was to set up a charity to build playgrounds for the poor townships in South Africa. That's where her mother came from, and where she now lives, apart from tours.

    Great reaction ! Amira was ten years old at the time of this concert in Maastricht with the Dutch conductor André Rieu. It was definitely a very impressive rendition of a famous aria by Puccini, with a huge audience. However, one year later, in December 2015, she sang an Ave Maria composed by William Gomez, in a little church in Nijmegen, her home town. There is an informal recording of this on UA-cam, and her performance was incredibly inspirational, an absolute masterpiece.
    Now Amira is 20 years old and continues to sing better and better....

    Great reaction! Subscribed. Amira is a super soprano, she was 10 years old here and she sang this aria using advanced techniques with a precision and excellence that 20-year-old sopranos still struggle to learn at the conservatoire. Amira also sings in the crossover genre, which comprises high-level songs with orchestral accompaniment. There are other copies of this video, including one accidentally removed from the conductor's page, which together total around 600 million views. Amira's voice has undergone several transitions over the years, but always for the better. Today she is 20 years old and studying an advanced bachelor's degree at university in classical singing and orchestral conducting. She is the most popular soprano of all time.

      @@Walter_Arrecis_Letona We can say that Maria Callas taught Amira how to sing, because Amira has been watching the diva's videos and singing along with her since she was seven years old. Amira has Maria Callas' name written on the front of her house. As for Sarah Brightman, of whom I've been a fan for a long time, Amira is a far superior soprano. You clearly haven't listened to Amira's work.

    Amira was a Dutch national cross-country champion runner at the age of eight. After moving to South Africa she would have been in their Olympic team, had COVID not occured. That accounts for her incredible breath control. She taught herself to sing like this by studying UA-cam videos of opera singers.

    Her parents didn't force her, nobody else suggested this.... Amira PESTERED her parents for a couple of years for a chance to go on HGT! She had no ambition beyond just "having a go"! She attests that she never believed that anything would really come of it... Yet she won with the highest proportion of votes ever garnered in the competition...
    And she was no one-hit wonder either! She is twenty or so now and one of the best lyric sopranos on earth.... There are dozens of YT performances available for you to watch and this fantastic young woman is like an excellent wine - she just gets better and better with age!

    Glad you have got around to reacting to Amira. Sent by Angels, another remarkable young singer with many videos to see. I suggest you watch her three performances on Holland’s got Talent to start you off. Like Angelina, she has a heart of gold, a loving and caring nature. She has donated half of her earnings to charity and has her own foundation supplying and maintaining playgrounds to poor townships in South Africa where she now lives.

    Amira was 10 then and is 20 now. She has never been nervous although says she can feel excited. Her name is pronounced Ameera Villighagen (as near as an Englishman can get to it, anyway). 12,500 audience. Amira is now studying music at Pretoria university. Although opera has always been her first love her repertoire includes classic crossover, musicals, hymns, etc. HGT All Stars invited back 10 years later to sing Ebben? Ne Andro Lontana. See the video including the complete segment, giving the judges' comments. The nearest she gets to pop is if it includes it in addition to her classical singing. Eg Phantom of the Opera (2023) singing with Ruhan du Toit, the Lexus Pops Classics version, which includes some pop at the beginning. She has sung in many countries and has fans across the world.

    My understanding is that this was the second of two shows. Child labor laws only allowed one song each. I saw the first video coincidentally before this one. It was shot normally showing her and the orchestra. They realized a lot of the audience was crying like you saw and they shot more of the audience the next time.

    When she is nine years old she did perform in front of very small audience. Of course everybody encouraged her to go to Holland got talent, yes, she was self taught through the UA-cam without any single teacher, but she grew up in a family that loves music and practice some normal standard music, her brother which is a little bit older than her he used to perform violin, she’s completely self taught from UA-cam, when she went on stage in front of big audience. Nobody have ever heard about her or knows about her to the extent that one of the judges started making a sarcastic comment for a nine years old to perform opera singing with very top song, before she finished on the stage, she completely kill him, she got immediately the golden ticket.
    When she got very popular, her family did the perfect thing to preserve her and keep her in the song without getting abused by the media or the Contractor. They took her to South Africa and they lived there with nature, she kept on practicing away from the media and away from everybody, every once in a while , she does comply with some request and she makes some major appearance like the one years so there, yes, puberty does affect the voice drastically but with this little young lady, she kept performing excellently, yes I think UA-cam does cancel all links except I think UA-cam links, it’s part of marketing, I’m going to send you the following link where she just performed a few months ago back again on Holland got talent after she is 20 years old, she is even better than before, she is the miracle of the opera singing, I think she can pick up any original song or opera with the ability to re-sing it again better than the original singer, she is a class of her own, with 20 years old now, the only reason that she’s not breaking all the ceiling around the world is the perfect preserved life that her parents kept her, when amazing character of her is always smiling and laughing, you will see in this recent link amazingly the most effective thing I think was on her when she performed on nine years old is the train trip that she took with her father, brother and her that seems to have even more affect on her than actually winning that day, very pure young lady with very pure voice, she is as I said, the miracle of opera at this time .

    I’m 5 days late, so I’m unsure whether you’ll see these comments, but let’s try anyway.
    You asked for an explanation as to how Amira entered Hollands Got Talent. She asked & asked her mother from age 7, but mum rejected her requests until Amira was 9 & mum gave in.
    Amira is now 20, studying her Batchelor of Music. Her parents have always maintained a great balance between performing; schooling & normal kid stuff. The family have very strong religious beliefs & as such, Amira has a great variety of songs pertaining to her faith. She also performs for people who cannot get to, or can’t afford to go to her performances free of charge, so you’ll see a lot of videos in halls or churches with small congregations. She firmly believes her talent comes directly from God, and as such, wants to share this remarkable gift with others. Fame & fortune are not on her agenda.
    It’s not only Opera Amira sings. It’s crossover; musicals such as Sound of Music ( age 16 ) ; in fact any musical genre showcases her versatility.
    One performance I recommend is “ Ave Maria by Gomez at the Canisius Church at age 11. This is my favourite out of a long list of favourites and an absolute must for any Reactor.
    Sorry for the long post, but I thought you would be interested.
    Cheers Graeme

    Amira went on Hollands Got Talent just because she wanted to be on tv only once. She never expected so many people to like her singing. No not a lot of chilren can sing opera like Amira did at 9 years old. There were only a couple other children around the world who did sing opera but what they did is put on an adult voice to sound more adult. That way you ruin your voice when they turn adults. Those dont sing opera anymore as adults. Voice teachers dont like children singing opera for that reason. Amira's voice is not a put on voice it her voice is more natural and sings good opera still as adult. She is now studying classical singing and conducting at university. Here at Andre Rieu's orchestra Amira only had 1 Masterclass singing. At Hollands Got Talent she had no singing lessons at all. If you watch her Hollands Got Talent audition you hear her say she is self taught. This conductor Andre Rieu is famous around the world and likes to pick young talent. He recently picked another talent 15 year old Emma Kok to sing with him. She has 56 million views on UA-cam in the last couple of months. Check out Emma Kok singing the song Voila with Andre Rieu. Andre Rieu picked 15 year old Emma Kok to go on worldtour with him. Andre Rieu is famous around the world and is the number 6th best selling artists in the world in a list with groups like The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber. Andre Rieu gives 100 concerts a year around the world so Emma Kok is traveling the world as a teen singing with Andre Rieu's orchestra and having the best time of her life. P.s. UA-cam auto deletes links as to not let people go of to other websites and also that people dont put links in the comments to sell their products. Happened to me my links in the comments were removed automatically by UA-cam.
