Wow. What a beautiful version. Amira has an amazing voice.

[@elmerjohnson6280]

In the past 92 yrs and having heard among the greatest Opera singers ever, this is the absolute most breath taking voice I have heard period! Only an act of God could this have happened to a child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@daleennis3140]

She was 13 years old when she sang this.She is like an angel from God!!

[@jorgechavesfilho]

Great reaction! You might like to react to Amira singing Gabriellas Sång in Swedish.

[@tonyjay6457]

I could see the waves of pleasure crossing your face as Amira's performance progressed! Clearly you are one of whom it could said wears his heart on his sleeve.... Yes, Amira is amazing and there are dozens of her performances out there on KZbin for you to learn about one of the very few musical prodigies out there! Amira's story starts at the tender age of NINE when she won Holland's got Talent! And her story only gets BETTER from there... This performance dates from when she was thirteen and she is nineteen now! Many very knowledgeable vocal experts rate her as one the finest lyric sopranos in the world today... seems a crazy thing to say given she is ONLY nineteen at the time of writing! Now that you have discovered Amira you owe it to yourself to do the deep dive.... There is much more to Amira than just being one of finest singers alive today! You will not regret a second you spend on this journey... Enjoy!

[@WestTXRedneck1972]

Love this song!!! Always love hearing it with the bagpipes. This young lady has an amazing voice.

[@johnbattles1002]

She is absolutely incredible and "amazingly graceful" at only THIRTEEN years old! She is now 19 and better than ever!

[@Axx11000]

Amira is Dutch and lives in South Africa. She was 13 years old at the time of the video. Amira's journey is worth following, the girl is absolutely extraordinary. Best from the beginning, when she auditioned for "Hollands got Talent" at the age of 9. Or of course her interpretation of "Your Love" by Ennio Morricone. Or her interpretation of "La Vergine degli Angeli " by Giuseppe Verdi. Or.........or

[@rosemarieedstaller196]

Gehen sie auf die Reise mit Amira. Alle Lieder sind fantastisch. Sie ist unglaublich. Ich freue mich auf ihre Kommentare. Sie singt seit sie neun Jahre alt ist

[@Stepperg1]

The US uses bagpipes playing Amazing Grace for all fallen officers and many returning passed from the military. It's very important to so many of us. Beautifully sung! Thank you for this!

[@shooster5884]

When Amira was very young she sang for Veterans in The Netherlands who had liberated the area who were visiting. More recently she sang When You wish upon A Star as her contribution to an online concert also for veterans. Her CDs have been donated to veteran homes also

[@joepollard9476]

To Amira Amazing Grace is more than just a hymn, but a testimony to her own Christian faith. You might also like I'll Walk With God, duet with Lukhanyo Moyake. Amira is well known for her operatic arias, eg Nessun Dorma (CIG 2017), O Mio Babbino Caro, with Andre Rieu, Flower Duet, with Corlea Botha.

[@angelastant6554]

13 years old here. Another brilliant song by her is O sole Mio which she sang at age 12 with Patrizeo Buanne. Or at age 9 when Andre Rieu invited her to perform O Mio Babino at his concert in Maastricht where she received a standing ovation from an audience of 10,000. You won’t be disappointed!

[@brucenelson4332]

I last saw a video of her signing on one of the "Got Talent" shows when she was 10, she has grown into a beautiful and talented young woman.

[@jordannash1998]

The singer you are reacting to is 13 -14 years old. This was beautifully orchestrated and she carried to song magnificently. A great performance for any singer of any age.

[@kirknitz3794]

Thanks for this.

[@andrewclayton4181]

She's good! 13 here. She is actually Dutch. But her mother is from South Africa, and that's where she lives now. Whatever she sings, she nails it, and puts a distinctive Amira stamp on it, often at the end. She tends to concentrate on opera, religious, and theater songs. Pick one and see if she has done it, I bet you'll be impressed. At this concert, she had already sung Nessun Dorma, and the Flower Duet, before delivering this Amazing Grace.

[@BobSmith-lb9nc]

Extraordinary

STUNNING ANGELIC PERFORMANCE ~ THANKS RECKY - BOER BEN

[@patcummings2276]

just the pipes make me want to cry

[@solonutiket564]

Amira will grow on you as you begin to understand her contribution to music. Starting with her three performances at Hollands got Talent, all of her performances have been exceptional, much like this one. Don't miss any of them, and you will be rewarded. You will be infected like me to listen to her every day. Don't miss any, they all explode in their own way.

[@mathsjesperson8432]

You have to react to Amira Willighagen singing "Gabriellas sång" in perfect Swedish, a language she doesn't speak and doesn't understand! You hardly even hear any foreign accent in her Swedish pronunciation! This song is from the Swedish movie "Så som i himmelen", where it was sung by Helen Sjöholm.

[@Reckyj]

Ohh She did a cover of that flippin song? Thats a fav for me! Thank you!!

[@cmlarose50]

@@Reckyj- Have you heard of another Swedish reactor named Petra? She also reacts to it because it is one of her all time favs; she was so blown away that tears were welling up and her facial expressions as she listened were so genuine. Here's her reaction - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6Tap5ynf8qfl8U

[@loririecke6958]

That was beautiful.

[@billharmon8599]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Amira. Yes, her voice just reached down deep in your soul and grabs you!. I suggest you go back to the start and watch a 9-year old Amira confidently walk on stage at Holland's Got Talent. Liked and subscribed

[@RedisFun2]

Her voice......

[@passqualecaiazza7728]

13 Here and to me she is the best then and the best now, at 19

[@alowatsakima8950]

You have now been infected by Amira. Get to know her by watching all of her Hollands Got Talent performances and then follow her performances year by year. You will be rewarded for doing so, and along the way you will fall in love with her. Every performance is special beyond expectations.

[@oliveirafilho3264]

Uma orquestra, um anjo, uma obra de arte...Amira the best ❤️

[@Almaintx]

Beautiful, quite beautiful , but I can’t seem to get Dan Vasc’s performance out of my head!

[@stevenM8282]

React to Gabriella's song. Amira performed this in Swedish.

[@Pasovineyard]

Amira is a Lyric Soprano.

[@manjisaipoe517]

Glassess shattering, neighborhood dogs going crazy! I need a warning before you play any women with a voice like that, so I don't blast my stereo so loud!! Beautiful voice and fantastic production, thankd for sharing Recky!😊

[@kapluje]

Have you reacted to the song “Gabriela’s song?”

[@Reckyj]

No i have not. =)

[@aggravatedHart]

She isn’t that good of a singer and seems like she doesn’t even understand the words she is singing let alone all the history of this song. Maybe someone her age with little life experience isn’t the best fit for this song. The orchestra sounded wonderful. Edit: her voice is actually incredibly grating to my ears.

[@shooster5884]

Not every singer will appeal to everyone.. Though this video has 29 million views on her channel so it is beloved by many. Regarding Amira not understanding the meaning of the song, she has always had a strong Christian faith, and since very young has repeatedly said that her voice is a gift from God with which to do good with. She regularly sings in church's and homes for the elderly. At aged 10 she used her first earnings to set up a foundation Gelukskinders to build playgrounds for children in the townships and built her first playground, public playground and mainly in schools since, near where she now lives in South Africa and to date, aged 19, her foundation to which she donates a lot of her earnings and is strongly supported by her fans, has built and maintained 21 playgrounds and is currently providing netball equipment and uniforms to secondary schools there and next year will fund the cost of a netball tournament for those schools.
