Amira Willighagen - Ave Maria - for English-speaking viewers

Amira Willighagen sings 'Ave Maria' during the Semi-Final of Holland's Got Talent and delivers another astounding performance which sees her progress to the Final on 28 December 2013.
This video is a combination of HD and non-HD components which is why there is a difference in the volume level. The actual performance is in HD with vastly superior sound and picture quality.

[@mistercointreau5247]

Nobody will ever sing this song any better than this. Not even Amira. She was possessed during that song.

[@einardahl6955]

Yes, Mister Cointreau. Somehow I feel she is "possessed" every time she sings one of her Ave Maria's. She now has five of them in her repertoire. Virgin Maria seems to mean something VERY SPECIAL to her, I think. God bless her.

[@ginnykrauskopf7853]

amira has said that when she sings, she's not really aware of the audience, just being in the music. She doesn't feel like a little girl; it's just her and the music. It's a form of autohypnosis; her eyes are unfocused. At the end, she "snaps" out of it and is back. It's incredible!

[@alainperrieregenevincent54]

I think so.

[@kate7414]

[@mannixflinn6227]

[@jamesguglielmo5590]

This song was the one my wife to be picked for our wedding song 63 years ago. All though my wife past away, it takes me back to the church, in Germany, where we were married.

[@donnamarievalentine1156]

I had it played at my wedding as well. Sung by an Irish artist playing her Irish Harp. I am sorry your wife has passed. I know she is watching you and can feel the love you still share by your lovely comment!

[@Last-Ninja-1]

Nice feelings are nice feelings. Don't always happen all of the time.

[@danielmills9863]

I read somewhere (more than one source) that Amira had a serious cold at one time, and that it was feared she would not be able to perform. This absolutely perfect performance of Ave Maria was probably sung at the tail end of her bad cold. Being a singer (for 65 years), I knew this to be the case. It is not easy to explain. For the highest notes, Amira slightly flared her nostrils. Her final cut-off of "amen" showed a very abbreviated N. Prolonging that sound during a cold would have disastrous and ugly effects. Amira showed lots of class and maturity in performing this song the way she did. There were other signs that Amira was singing through a cold, but they were less obvious than those stated. Amira showed a maturity well beyond her years in this performance. It is very difficult to learn how to sing through a cold, and many, if not most, singers never learn. Brava, Amira!

[@tobytoxd]

Thanks for this information! The crazy thing about that overall is: She didn't "learn" it. It just happens to feel correct to her.

[@marilesekoch6152]

Thank you for this explanation, she puts me into a trance when I listen to this, then the sheer beauty makes me cry with unutterable longing to retain that feeling of ethereal beauty for ever and never lose the delight again.

[@dafyddllewellyn6636]

And it's not "amen" - the lyrics are in latin. It's "Ave".

[@rickydumas9994]

​@@dafyddllewellyn6636It's absolutely "Amen" at the end. "Ave" (Hail) is a greeting, not a conclusion. If you know any Catholics, this is "Hail Mary" in Latin.

The joy of watching this is amazing. It is the end of her recital when she give the facial expression of an innocent 9yr old girl who has no idea what she has just done. I now believe in miracles because it does not seem possible that a 9yr old can watch opera on KZbin and teach themselves, not only the language, but to sing it so beatifully.

[@paulcotter5181]

When one sees 2.4 k thumbs down, one can see what this modern so call music has done to the brain of those who listen to it. For a 9 year old to have this quality of vocal quality without any formal training is amazing. Keep listening to you booming, loud noise, but don’t be critical of real talent.

[@paulvincent3299]

Probably Jackie Evancho trolls after she destroyed her career by performing for Orange Hitler.

[@starstruck_xx]

Paul Cotter very well put,thanks for setting the record straight

[@mikerobinson2685]

I came back to this performance, and am fascinated by the transformation at 2:45 when she finishes the song and comes out of her 'performance trance' and turns back into a living person, little girl again. It's amazing how she 'becomes' the song. And she continues to do this even currently in many performances. It's like she becomes a different person. In my opinion she is definitely the greatest 'child' performer, and will only get better. There are several young opera/popera performers now: Jackie Evanko; Emanne Beasha; Laura Bretan; and a few others, but Amira has that certain quality in her voice the reaches the soul, and can bring tears to thousands in a performance.

An absolute gift from GOD. I have been singing my whole life, I have never got to the level the beautiful child is starting. Incredible.

[@TheDerrickoh]

This couldn't happen in America's Got Talent. I feel like the general American public wouldn't have the attention span to listen to opera arias every week. This isn't meant to offend anyone, but I've just found that European audiences are generally more appreciative of classical music. Also, take a look at the view counts on KZbin for classical vs. pop music. It's crazy.

[@girlsingerfan]

Well, there was and is Jackie Evancho who took second on America's Got Talent a few years ago. She clearly should have won and the guy she lost to has not had near the success that Jackie has. Look at her wikipedia and see her history and story of success. They do not strictly do the same style, as Amira is more opera and Jackie neo classical. That is why I like Jackie more because I am not a big opera person. Also, I think Amira is just a bit younger when they made their respective talent show appearances and I think it is a fruitless exercise to compare them. Unless Amira gets a industry giant like David Foster to back her like Jackie did, she probably won't become as famous and maybe opera does not sell as much today as the neo classical.

[@TheDerrickoh]

girlsingerfan Well Jackie Evancho does classical crossover (not neo-classical). That's not to say classical crossover is bad, but people that join that genre generally gain more success because it is easier to listen to. Jackie had to add a lot of "pop-like" elements to her vocal performances in order to keep the attention of voters and advance in the competition. Since then, she has mostly stopped performing operatic arias.

[@alanj819]

apparently you dont know what your talking about, first of all the cultures are different. i am a musician by heart and listen to all kinds of music. Opera is one of my favorites, unless you know what your talking about i wouldn't be labeling people, never mind an entire country. This girl is amazing and i have never heard anything like it. She is very blessed and she will go far. Way to go young Amira. You have an American fan here for sure.

[@TheDerrickoh]

alan jemlich I never labeled anyone or any country. I used the word "generally," which I was hoping would give you a clue that I wasn't referring to *all* Americans. Of course I know there are Americans that enjoy opera/classical music. I happen to be one myself. Sorry for offending you...

She shows so much passion when she sings she looks wiser than her years but turns straight back into a cute little girl as soon as she stops. Re-incarnation?? Makes you wonder.

Amira Willighagen she is simply astonishing! Every time I watch her my eyes fill up with tears. It is not just her voice, but her eyes, that show all the emotional expression throughout the song. So much emotions at the age of nine. It is amazing. I love her, and her voice reaches deep down to the corners of my heart. I wish her to succeed in life and if she ever will be in concert tour I will defiantly, go see her, and buy the CD as soon as it is available Talents like this need support. I have watched many other kids perform opera, but no one like her. Grace K. from Burbank California

[@hectorrivera2785]

The quality of her voice, the range (low notes like callas), the tone, breath control, the control on her florituras. God rhis girl is really amazing.

[@francescomariotti9550]

Let's just hope growing up doesn't ruin her voice

[@hectorrivera2785]

I hope it still beautifull, if it change, at least she know how to sing. but i thing voices like that only get mature, better :)

[@rickydumas9994]

The breath control actually wasn't, and her diction is a little "off" - but for a kid with no training (and coming off a bad head cold), it's unbelievable. Heard any of her more recent stuff? Almost all grown up now, she's learned breath control to support the contralto register without losing the glorious coloratura top notes, her once-stilted phrasing is now smooth, her diction clear and still has the guileless purity in her voice - thank God for Dutch and South African law that went a long way to preventing burnout. She's also a philanthropist as well as arguably the most promising soprano this century - her Stichting Gelükskinders (Lucky Children's Foundation) was entirely her own idea, building playgrounds for underprivileged children in her new country, South Africa (her mother is South African born, Amira moved there with her after her parents divorced).

I'm amazed at some of the "armchair" amateur critics criticising this wonderful talent. Her "Italian" pronunciation is not very good because the song is in Latin, which is a dead language and there is no known pronunciation. She may have "fluffed" a few words, so what ! I could listen to her all day "fluffing" her way through the Amsterdam telephone book. Bravo, Amira

When I die I want to see and hear angels sing like that at my funeral. Pity that I won't be alive to hear and see anything but this is the next best thing.

Beautiful sweet girl with such a lovely voice. My grandpa really really loved opera and because of him I too love it. Wish I could sing as beautifully as this precious child

[@wendymarksfiolek2290]

Amazing. Absolutely so stunningly beautiful. She is like a prodigy to sing like this at only nine.

How can anyone say anything negative about this little angel who just sang her heart out and gave an outstanding performance. My God! She's only 9 years old and already singing at this level. Maybe she's not perfect yet, but that will come with time so be patient with your criticism. You negative critics need to criticize somebody who really can't sing, like maybe yourselves.

BRAVO!!!!!!!! Palavras verdadeiras. Eles que se calem e vão aprender a cantar

Amira, você nasceu para brilhar !!!!!!!! Quando você canta, você encanta !!!!!! Que voz perfeita.......... sublime......... Você me emociona muito.......... Não há uma noite que eu não escuto você cantar "Ave Maria" para depois dormir em paz......... Você é um anjo cantando.......... Continue sempre assim, esta menina doce, meiga, carismática.......... você é cativante.......... jamais perca sua doçura e seu jeitinho meigo de ser........ Obrigada por você existir e nos encantar com seu Dom Divino, pois quando você canta, você se transforma em algo sublime......... Gostaria de poder vê-la cantando "Ave Maria" ao lado do magnífico André Rieu um dia......... "I love you Amira" !!!!!!!! I me sorry, I don't spiek Ingles !!!!!!" Kissis, Beijos com carinho de sua fã do Brasil, Ana Paula.

[@Skhylow]

Just beautiful- she made me cry . What a wonderful gift. i pray she keeps her voice and uses it for good.

[@tomski787]

I keep watching this over and over. The purity is unbelievable. And after delivering such a flawlessly beautiful performance that almost convinces this old atheist that there are angels, she gives that cheeky little smile as if it's just another playground game. Amazing little girl.
