  • Amira Willighagen sings 'O Mio Babbino Caro' on Holland's Got Talent and delivers an astounding performance which results in her being awarded a 'Golden Ticket'. This ticket allows her to proceed straight to the Live Show.
    Some people have incorrectly interpreted this to mean the Final, but the first Live Show will be the Semi-Final on 21 December followed by the Final on 28 December 2013.

      "The Path Guided by Dafa [Great Law]
      Though you and I don’t know each other
      We both live on the same celestial body
      Our backgrounds differ
      Yet with common values of human life
      Humankind has reached the final moment in history
      Lives are all waiting for the Creator to come to the world
      Because of this, I tell you the truth
      Do not be dogmatic by following modern notions and conduct
      Gods have been choosing lives all along
      Amid kindness and evil, you decide for yourself
      The path guided by Dafa has no doomsday
      January 2, 2015
      ***
      Why Did You Come Here
      All are waiting for the Creator’s salvation at the end times
      Before demise comes, the Fa principles that save people are spreading
      Yet people chase after fame and gain
      What’s acquired in a lifetime’s effort cannot be carried away with you
      Coming and going-you alone
      In a busy life you’ve forgotten why you came here
      Before descending, most of you were Kings in your heavenly kingdoms
      Giving up your divine bodies to save the heavenly beings
      Gain in the human world is not important
      Connect your divine destiny, remake yourself
      Seek the truth, break free from delusion
      Fulfill the wish you came with to the world-that’s your great joy
      January 5, 2016"
      Master Li Hongzhi (Hong Yin V, from Falun Dafa teachings)

    Found this jewel just this morning August 18, 2021. Flushed my eyes with tears. Sent it out to several friends. Now sitting in a restaurant having breakfast, reading the comments. It is awkward to eat when you're on the verge of crying just reading the wonderful comments. Truly the best, most evocative things I've ever seen and heard. I'm almost 67 and I'm wondering if repeated viewings of this would clear up any heart related health issues. Surely it must! It melted my heart

What better measure of true greatness?

    It's not just that she's a wonderful singer, because there are many. But this performance... It's like she has lived what she is singing. I find it so rare to hear that connection and emotion, the 'thing' that just moves you. Pavarotti was the same for me - he didn't just sing words of songs. He sang pure emotion, like it was coming from his soul.
    I hope it's something that Amira always holds onto to. It's so much more important than a perfect technique.

Однако я скажу, что родители беспокоились в основном стройности ее зубов, но дело в том, что у нее люменофобия, боязнь яркого света, и есть необходимость исправить это - применением в пищу больше моркови и свежего морковного сока.

With her voice, she reached and broke the jar of my deepest sadness, and gave it a beautiful way to express itself. No wonder why the public glared astonished, this goes deep, highly personal, they were not prepared for such an intimate experience in a show like that; no one is really. This is an exceptionally rare gem.

      For all these years, since the performance of this cute little beautiful creature at HGT 2013, all fans admire Amira's facial expressions, her often closed eyes. However, I will say that the parents were mainly worried about the harmony of her teeth, but the fact is that she has lumenophobia, fear of bright light, and there is a need to correct this - by eating more carrots and fresh carrot juice so that all the works are saturated with unique facial expressions and body movements inherent in Amira.

    Many Indian cultures believe strongly in old souls. it is said an old soul will only come back to the pure of heart and one who walks in the light. as with Amira Willighagen and Jackie Evancho this has proven to be true. they are truly a gift to the world.

  • @milosen6744
    @milosen6744 Рік тому +43

    This is very impressive for a self taught nine year old 👍! Amira seems to sing with a more natural and correct operatic technique than e.g. Jackie Evancho and Charlotte Church. They sort of sing in the back of their throats by using air that they "trap" there with their tongues, which makes their facial and mouth expressions look weird at times and also makes them sound like grown up women. Amira sounds like an angelic young girl.

For the first time in a long time you brought tears of joy and longing to my face when I found you on youtube, my mbiggest joy was watching the 'judges' facial reactions when you first opened your miraculous voice, you truly deserve all the success and wealth you and your natural 'perfect pitch can accrue, luckily I know you have an extrodinarily marvellous family around you, and I know they will look out for you, as the crones gather to profit from a talent they can never claim themselves! Take care and the very best of sincere wishes to you and your supportive brother, I truly wish you all so well, for I have never heard of a more desering natural talent in all my long years, and if you don;'t mind, wish all that for you all, with all my heart and love,
