MOTHER REACTS to ANDRÉ RIEU & AMIRA | O Mio Babbino Caro | Reaction Video | Travelling with Mother

[@Axx11000]

About three quarters of a year earlier, she sang the same song at her audition for "Holland's Got Talent". The jury sat there with their mouths open and couldn't believe that she hadn't had any lessons until then. She had only taught herself to sing by watching KZbin videos. But what she performed here together with Andre Rieu was two classes better than her previous performance. Andre had done a master class with her for a few days. At this concert, he observes Amira closely and adapts his conducting to her. Unlike other conductors, Amira doesn't have to adapt to the orchestra, but the orchestra adapts to her singing. I have the utmost respect, not only for Amira's performance, which was phenomenal, but also for Andre Rieu's performance.

[@juliaforsyth8332]

He gave her the lessons for free. He really gets behind young talent.

[@peterk1948]

She did a cd for Sony I think 3 moths before this concert.

[@chas1355]

Amira and Andre are both Dutch. This performance was in his home base in Holland in front of an audience of 10,000. This concert took place in July, 2014 and she had turned 10 on March 27 of the same year. She is currently one of the top ranked sopranos in the world. She lives in South Africa. She is an Olympic grade long distance cross country runner, a delegate to the World Peace Club, and a charitable person who donates on half of her income to build playgrounds at schools for poor children in South Africa. She has completed 19 of those so far. She finished high school first in her class and is currently in a university studying music.

[@hannosmits9260]

The concert took place in Maastricht in Limburg, in the south of the Netherlands, not in Holland. Thanks.

[@janh.rensink9271]

So nice to see two angelic ladies talking about a younger angel who's a professionel singer now. Much more to see about you 3 I hope !

[@andrewclayton4181]

She took part in, and won, Hollands got talent, at the end of 2013. She was 9 then and entirely self taught. Andre saw her and invited her to sing with his Orchestra. That concert was called Love in Venice, hence the set is dressed to look Italian. By then Amira was 10. Since then she has sung around the world, when schooling would allow, she now lives in South Africa, and is studying music at university. She had her 20th birthday on Wednesday. She is still an exceptional singer, I'm not into opera , but I will listen to Amira all day. She also sings music from films, shows, and inspirational pieces. One often gets a moist eye listening to her sing. She sings in any language, including Spanish ( Ave Maria Gomez from 2015, or the very recent release Down from his glory) Other great performance's are Nessun Dorma 2017 Live in concert, Nella Fantasia. 2016 Amazing Grace Your Love Gesu Bambino. See which ones of hers with millions of views that appeal.

[@passqualecaiazza7728]

Amira has the most beautiful voice on the planet, in my opinion

[@jorgechavesfilho]

Great reaction! Subscribed. Amira is a different kind of soprano. She chose to use her authentic voice, rather than the artificial voice adopted by most classical singers. Amira has also chosen to always sing beautifully and pleasantly, without projecting annoying noises. She chose to always express authentic emotion, rather than making artificial facial expressions. And she can do whatever she wants with her voice. Amira sings genres other than classical, which for her is like cutting butter with a hot knife.

[@Ro1Gg2Bv3]

I think lately she has often a more artificial smile after her singing, she shouldn't do that, but in a world like this, she is pressed in it. As a child she didn't do that, children are not like that and olders shouldnt do that either.

[@warrengwonka2479]

She built her lungs as a winning distance runner for two earlier years.

[@GilbertHorn1]

Amira and Andre - words are inadequate. Ladies, your reaction - priceless!

[@Eleonoor]

I will NEVER not cry watching this. It's a spectacular performance.

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

Just subscribed. Andre Rieu often showcases new young talent and brings them on tour. Anyone whose never attended one of his concerts has missed something truly special. Classical and movie themes sprinkled with light humor, one of the most entertaining concerts I've ever attended. Amira is now 20 and as you might expect, a dazzling talent.

[@TravellingwithMother]

We would love to go to a Rieu concert, how amazing! Thank you for your subscription too 😇

[@michaelbarry8513]

Andre was following her and conducting the orchestra

[@imacanadian1971]

There is so much to check out for Amira. Her Hollands Got Talent where she sings the same sing. She is at that point self taught... as stated un the Hollands Got Tallent audition. You can check anything from her and you'll never be disappointed.

[@grahamhowat3261]

Thank you ladies that was an awesome reaction to our much loved Angel Amira she is extremely special as you saw her magnificent voice just touches your heart and soul and I think you should first go to where it all started for Amira Hollands got talent 2013 you will love those beautiful performances and from there on its just pure beauty and Devine magic from her.

[@ronaldacker1686]

This was in 2013 and 10 years later Andre introduced the 15 year old Emma Kok to the audience in this same venue singing Voila . It is worth watching that performance.

[@joepollard9476]

@ronaldacker1686. The development of both Amira and Emma is extraordinary. Emma was 16 this month. Voila sung with Andre has already had more than 42 million views on the official copy alone. There are no copyright restrictions, but do include the intro. She also sung Strijder (Warrior), on a different video, which, when you learn more about her, will see she truly is!

[@bsirta5824]

Hello. You did a really wonderful reaction... about an outstanding performance. Amira Willighagen was 10 years old at the time of this concert in Maastricht, in july 2014. She sang an aria from the opera Gianni Schicchi by Puccini. But when she auditioned for the very first time on Holland's got talent, nine months before this, she had no vocal lessons at all. She actualy learned to sing opera by watching You Tube videos and imitating Maria Callas and Andrea Bocelli...It's quite difficult to pick one of her numerous wonderful performances, but her rendition of Ave Maria by William Gomez in Nijmegen, when she was 11, is maybe her masterpiece, with a very high technical level. Now she's 20, lives in South Africa, and sings better and better...

[@warrengwonka2479]

She’s taking music as a college freshman.

[@brianreilly8661]

Lovely reaction so Amira is about 19 or20 now has improved so much is a humanitarian opening swing parks in south Africa for the kids there a great person she has many outstanding opera and other genre songs a treat on your ears try amazing grace it's beautiful just like you 2 ❤

[@daleennis3140]

She has an amazing voice!!

[@andrewwhyte9944]

Ladies, you just travelled to heaven via the angelic Amira express.

[@thijsdebruijn4259]

Ladies, she was 10 years old performing this and that was after she won a Golden Ticket in Holland s got Talent where she told the jury that she learned herself to sing by listening to You Tube. For me she is a prodigy.

Mi mujer y yo, tuvimos la suerte de estar en ese concierto precisamente y en la fila 23... te aseguro que podías oír el sonido de un alfiler cayendo al suelo, del silencio que había, por escuchar a Amira. En directo, es algo muy especial. Esa voz, solo esta reservada para los dioses. Increíble y asombroso.

[@SusanJacobsen-y9f]

Amira self taught herself to sing and learned the notes on youtube. At 9 years old she entered Holland Got Talent. She is amazing!!!

[@clyneheretic]

Amira's not just a singer, she's an actress. She studies and understands the context of everything she sings, so she is able to 'inhabit' the song. It's a rare talent - and one which Callas had - that produces the powerful emotion that affects most people in her audience.

[@SandyCline-k5n]

This was about 10 years ago. She won Holland got talent at the age of nine. Andre, were you heard of her and did a master class with her and a little voice coaching before he had her sing at his venue. She’s 19 now. She went on to study in a private school in South Africa and there are a lot of recordings that she has done and concerts that she has done and all the money that she has earned she has donated to the welfare of under advantage, children in South Africa. She is truly a prodigy. She was self taught to sing opera as a child when she was homeschooled by listening to KZbin.

[@bssstphn]

Come on girls, start listening to the openings and finishes and judges comments, Andre Rieu did a whole introduction to Amira, saying he was first shown her Hollands Got Talent performance while in Australia and was blown away by her performances, especially from a 9yr old, he arranged to have her perform with him after she won, and at the end of this performance he comments to the crowd about her age. Amira is amazing, I showed her to my Dad while he was alive, not long after her winning, and he loved her, couldn't believe it. We played her at his funeral in 2017, the Priest couldn't believe it either, and he commented to the mourners, he'd never heard of her and how she sounds like an adult and how she won Hollands Got Talent. He was a very good priest.

[@eddieobrien4394]

unbelievably beautiful experience for everyone involved, including me watching you watch this. such a beautiful world. I wish everyone good things.

[@daleennis3140]

She is just Amazing,9 years old!

[@joepollard9476]

Welcome to the world of Amira. Her charity, Gelukskinders, builds and maintains play parks in South Africa, with many other activities. The funds come from fans and Amira has always gifted 50 per cent of her income. You can learn more musically from Andrew Clayton, who comments elsewhere.

Amira gets your heart & soul with her angelic voice, also there is another young singer who will pretty much affect you in the same way, her name is Lucy Thomas who has a massive following world wide, listen to her singing “ Hallelujah” first or “ Evergreen” then give your ears a treat by listening to her & younger sister Martha singing “ The Prayer” together you will be amazed

[@graemeblackburn7511]

You asked for more information about Amira but you don’t appear to acknowledge your viewers comments, and as such, the viewers are unsure whether you’ve read their views or otherwise. It would be wise to reply, even by way of thumbs up, to at least some of the comments. I’m sure you would appreciate some recognition should the situation be reversed. Anyway, that aside, I really appreciated your reaction & have subscribed. Amira, 10 y.o with perfect pitch; controlled vibrato; incredible range; wonderful breath control with a powerful voice exuding a passion & lyric understanding well beyond her years. Amira’s journey is nothing short of breathtaking & im sure your listeners will fill you in as you continue with more reactions to her many, many videos available.

[@TravellingwithMother]

Hi Graeme, thank you so much for watching and commenting, we can't wait to see more of Amira, thank you so much for the rich information! 🤗 (rest assured we are getting to our lovely viewers comments when we can 😇)

Hello ladies . Wonderful wonderful reaction . Dont worry for show your feelings . Amira transmit all these emotions in who hear her . Im glad that new people discover to Amira The Amiras fans told many things about Amiras life . I wanna add that she born singing and also she born for serve and help to humble people , to poor children . And in the same year of this video ( 2014 ) Amira ( with 10 years old ) created her fundation ( Gelukskinder ) destiny to build playgrounds in poor zones of South Afrika ,por the children have a place where they can play .She is a trully angel .There are so much wanders in the career of Amira that I dont know for where I start to recommend . I ll start to recommend you the song THE SOUND OF MUSIC MEDLEY 2019 , from the eternal movie The sound of music , with the legendary JULIE ANDREWS ( link ) Here Amira was 15 hears old and her evolution was stunning kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJTSm3RtoJyefaMsi=d6Bn_H1G_MRdoVlZ .

Thank you for this reaction! You should see her sing "Ave Maria" Gomez at Canisius church. It's something to experience.

We will add it to the list, thank you!

[@waynemeredith4287]

Amira is fabulous. I’m 76 and I find myself crying and laughing all at the same time. She affects me that way every time. Amira makes everything she does a jaw dropping experience. I think she could even make the “hambone” song sound like a beautiful Aria🤣. She is self taught and was ten years old at this performance. She is now 20 and getting better all the time.

[@peterk1948]

I know at one time, perhaps she still does, she studies the words and meaning of a song before she start to sing it. That accounts for the emotion she puts into it.

Amera and Alma Deutscher are friends and have performed together. When Alma was 10 and Amera was 11, they spent the night together in Alma's tree house and then did a fund raiser for medical research. They did an add-on and sang a song from Alma's opera Cinderella. This was the first time that song was performed in public. The duet of the stepsisters. After the performance thay went outside the church and climbed the trees in the courtyard intill told to get down. The guy who told me that story was there. He said that they were "full of fun and mischief" kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2HZq4Fri9-Uaassi=C77V0LNA5KqrNRIa This is the Oprah that is considered to be Alma's masterpiece. She started to be called a master classical composer after this premiered when she was 11. She played the piano, organ, violin, and sang in the choir in the premiere of her opera.⁶

[@joepollard9476]

@davidfryer9218. Alma has revised her opera Cinderella, and now conducts the orchestra herself. I think it is still on You Tube. Brilliant!
