Amira Willighagen - O Mio Babbino Caro - for English-speaking viewers

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)

[@dafyddllewellyn6636]

Joe Heid - as she has said on an interview, singing is, for her, "like walking" - which is, I think, a bit of an understatement, but she means that it doesn't feel to her like anything sufficiently special to get excessively proud about; she enjoys singing, and being part of the team wherever she sings, and that's enough for her . . . What better measure of true greatness?

[@danielbillings7193]

All Amira ever wanted to do at this point in her life was to be able to sing on TV just once, and if she never got to do it again she would still have been very happy. I agree, Amira is unpretentious as well as loving and it is her heart that enables her to produce such beautiful sounds.

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.

@@volkanpalut1993 if it's a lie then tell us another video to search up that's better?

This makes me believe in old souls

[@singleman1986]

Well said. I couldn't agree more.

[@passqualecaiazza7728]

I still listening now. They should ask her back, so they can see how her voice is still beautiful at 17

[@Paramedicpr835]

I have seen this video multiple times and still it gives me goosebumps every single time.

[@tonyfranklin8306]

3:19 is the moment were she absolutely nails it, one of the singularly most incredible holding of a note ever (taking her age and no lessons into account) just staggering, I could listen to that bit over and over again

[@christophervan6966]

There are truly no words.

[@helenarcarvalho]

Yes, it is incredible!!!

[@mortensrensen1508]

Yes indeed! I thought the same. Priceless performance all the way. She made me cry that little cute person. Maria Callas is reborn.

[@ginnykrauskopf7853]

Amira said in an interview that when she is singing, she's not a little girl. She's just in the music.

[@william893]

I'm William from Edinburgh Scotland I was visiting my uncle William in Holland 🇳🇱 I was watching this it was absolutely amazing brilliant you will go far younglady all the best from Scotland

[@vladdegs]

I’m. 81. In all my years, I’ve never heard anything like it. What an incredible talent and Gordon’s. response is infective. We all agree with him unreservedly. What a star.

[@danariebe]

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.

[@LuisLopez2]

Or…maybe it is just New Edge non-sense and just a a coincidence of two random people who happen to sing well.

[@sonofyahweh8]

'Old Souls' are unclean spirits. The dead are dead. bless you

[@oliviawutam]

Dana Riebe, agree, but I also believe in Re-incarnation which is the same , in our next life we can continue to perfect our selves. . Amira sings from her former experience, effortless from her soul.

[@patclary3482]

What an amazing time we live in.

[@phillies4100_mainsite]

We have Jackie Evancho and Amira

[@patclary3482]

My point exactly. I'm looking forward to concerts TV specials and recordings, I've seen Jackie in Las Vegas and see is growing into quite the young woman and I'm sure Amira will do the same. I hope they eventually perform together and become good friends.

[@phillies4100_mainsite]

pat clary And Jackie is going to be performing live on PBS on July 4th!

[@patclary3482]

Does anybody know if Amria will tour in the US? Especially Las Vegas.

[@geraldweg484]

+pat clary Amira does not do tours as such she still attends school when it is in and only performs when on a school holiday or vacation. She is allowed to do 12 performances in the Netherlands a year by law and does do some performances for special occasions on the weekends out of country by invitation. She had 1 performance at the Planet Hollywood just after she won HGT as a prize for winning. She has had 2 other performances in the US but both were private affairs by invitation only 1 in Texas and the other in NYC. Jackie has lived by a separate set of rules when it comes to schooling and performing as for all practical things she has been a professional singer for years.

[@kaymarsden5984]

Who still loves this in 202i ... listening still from england

[@christopherosborne2453]

A thing of beauty is a joy forever Kay, regards from Leicestershire.

[@sapiens7m.s.p857]

She just blew, instantly and without warning, all of the defences that took years to built. 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.

[@dylanemanuel8408]

How could 5.4 thousand people dislike this??? Shes amazing

@@arkanabar , I’ve never liked opera, but when I accidentally stumbled across this video....well, I’ve watched it 50+ times in two weeks and shared it with everyone I know. She is absolutely MAGNIFICENT!

[@carljarvi2914]

i would pay 100 dollars to hear her sing opera .. right now at 9 yrs old

[@TalentedYoungMusicians]

Carl Jarvi You can hear her singing opera with a full orchestra over here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHXUkmebqLyVmJY

[@grafter8337]

Carl Jarvi She will always be remembered for what she achieved as a 9-yr old.

[@zahibkhan3924]

I been watching auditions all my life nothing comes even close to this.

[@milosen6744]

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.

[@1wannabee1]

I will NEVER,EVER understand the logic of people who listen to Amira singing here and THEN go and give a 'thumbs down'! To me? that is an act of either pure jealousy or plain stupidity. Either way! they are ALL completely lacking when it comes to recognising a very rare and beautiful talented voice when they here 1. Grrrrrrrrrrr

[@jennywren7822]

[@kimpayne6602]

Brennen Siemens true

[@KennTollens]

She must have been a conductor in her previous life. She moves her hands like she is conducting an orchestra plus she sings like a professional already.

[@mateibasarab7103]

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.

[@goldendogwoodworks6675]

Ever so often there is a Mozart born, she is our Mozart

[@booboo-ov3tj]

a miracle girl did a miracle. I think this is her best performance.

[@voicemad]

As I write this Amira has been seen by over 25 million viewers. I think we all knew back in 2013 that she would be great. She is !!

[@geraldweg484]

+brian barnett - I think that 2003 is a little early she was not even born yet I think you meant to say 2013.

[@voicemad]

Thank you Gerald Weg. I have corrected it

[@-_Nuke_-]

Humanity have not invented good enough words and meanings to describe how incredible this performance was! Feeling blessed!

[@imageaware]

Wow. That was like watching Mozart play in front of his first audience.

[@partlycloudy4664]

Why do I cry every time I hear her sing ...

[@spursindonesia]

Yeah, i am an adult, macho, heterosexual man, but can't help the little tears coming out of the corner of my eyes hearing her sing.

[@RobertBernardoKim]

Yea, me too. I can't hide my tears falling down. I think because her emotion is coming out while she is singing the song.

[@florin604]

+Yellow Skies maybe because mother raise theirs sons to not show their feelings ... 'boys don't cry' is what mothers say....

[@vissevolker955]

Because she takes us to a world of innocence, youth and perfect beauty that is so temporary. A world we want to stay in and never leave. It is a sad and ultimately beautiful longing. Because you are only satisfied with the best. Love.

[@tribunal1287]

Yes its very touching and sad in a beautiful way...makes me wish WE WOULD TAKE GOOD CARE OF ALL THE CHILDREN IN THE WORLD AND GIVE THEM THE EARTH THE WAY GOD GAVE IT TO US!

[@ConnCollector]

"Who taught you to sing like this?" 4:49 Puzzled look on Amira's face. Teacher? What teacher? :^)

[@grantmanewal5110]

When she said "No, I haven't had any lessons." She had won. Should have given her the prize and started the season over. Did you note the expression on the young girl's face - perfect example of a look saying "we are so completely screwed."
