Greatness! No classical singer can achieve Amira's natural expressiveness. Amira has no need for mouth acting, no exaggerated gestures, no artificial emotive voice. Because she has a high power of focus, concentration, deep inner dive, and also because she sincerely believes in what she sings, Amira can fully express the emotion of the lyrics and music in a way that touches everyone's soul.
Oh c'mon, that's a bit harsh for classical singers in general. She is great yes but still has room to grow further in both, technique and performance. If she keeps going at her current pace she can be one of the greats when she reaches her mature years. Check Fernando Lima, he also makes it seem effortless and transmits a lot with his voice.
There are female singers all over the world who are good at singing, but even among them, Amira is not a singer created by humans. People are fascinated and get goosebumps and shed tears. Amira is special.
Een profeet wordt nooit in eigen land ge-eerd. Zij is een Nederlands meisje. En we zouden trots op haar moeten zijn met zo’n uniek talent. Maar alle reactie’s en lofbetuigingen komen uit het buitenland. Reactie’s in allerlei talen maar Nederlands schittert door afwezig- heid. We zouden ons diep moeten schamen!!!
Princess of the opera, Angel, just this little piece of the concert already moves me, soon I'll see it complete, Congratulations Princess, for your talent, for your work, and everything you do for children!!!
I tried to listen to another performance of this song by another artist and it was impossible, Amira's voice has charmed my heart and now I can only listen to the shimmering sweetness in her tone when she sings so beautifully!
@Shrn Good for you, I am listening to Sissel now and respect your right to your own opinion, but I only enjoy the performance by Amira - it touches my heart in new and unexpected ways - it is an inexplicable phenomenon. I prefer to leave comparisons aside and just focus on things that resonate with my subjective taste and I admire people like you who can accommodate a wider palate than I do, because I am always fixated on unique things I love and currently it is Amira's voice.
God only creates so many humans like Amira in a generation. How fortunate we are to have her in ours! Your gift(s) is an amazing blessing young lady- Thank you for using it (them) wisely!
I have listen to this several times since released. It still rings like a bell. It has been in my head several days. If your going to have sound in your head, I prefer it to be Amira. Thanks Amira. Fan from California USA
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! Even though it be a cross that raiseth me; Still all my song shall be nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! There let the way appear steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me in mercy given; So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! There in my Father's home, safe and at rest, There in my Saviour's love, perfectly blest; Age after age to be, nearer my God to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Lieve Amira Wat een genot om weer een nieuw lied van je te horen. Blijf alsjeblieft zingen want je stem is als balsem op de ziel van heel veel mensen die onder ziekte, zorgen en verdriet gebukt gaan maar ook de gezonde mensen komen tot rust bij het horen van je stem. Je bent een kostbaar geschenk voor heel veel mensen en niet in de laatste plaats voor mij. Moge God je zegenen.
This is one of my favorites of Amira's. It not only showcases her great talent but her sincere message of love and blessing within her ministry. She has a heart as big as her talent. The Lord touched her soul at an early age and in doing so has blessed us all.
I need to add another comment. I am sorry it took this long to see the concert. Just could not find the time with medical issues. I bought the ticket last night California time. Verified could get in. Watched it while on dialysis a few hours ago. Let me tell you she did it again. Yes, I heard this piece many times here on you tube. It was outstanding. But, watching the concert she did an out of this world performance. That Soprano voice stronger than anything I have ever heard. What I meant was she hid the voice almost 1 1/2 years, except the tribute song, That voice still crystal clear. Thank You Amira. I will re-watch tomorrow, and Friday. Then buy another ticket. Someone said no more Opera, they need to watch the concert in full
Iv been watching Amira since 2013 Holland got talent at 8 years old .she was perfect then now she is amazing ,I'm a big fan .!I'm 80 yr old man .this woman is a gift from the universe to humanity for peace .she brings good people together..
Dear One, each time I am fortunate enough to hear your most Angelic Voice I am Blessed...Thank You Amira ... May Heavenly Angels be always at your side ...
voice comes from heavens.... I wish a day came that all people enjoy life instead of war, killing each others... we have to believe that there is only one home for all, our planet is unique.....there is just one earth......
I follow her since she was 9 years old. Her voice, tender, beauty and lovely presence make her a beautiful singer on the stage and outside. This young girl has demonstrated that her heart is as bis as her determination to help children in Southafrica building places to the children where they can play and stay out of violence, drugs and gangs. When she was only a little child she wanted to help as many children as she could and half of her income from her performances go to her Foundation to that purpose, help the children happy. Amira Willighagen is a wonderful human being. God bless her (and her family) for many years to come.

He conocido muchas sopranos pero Amira es la más bella, la más angelical, la más agradecida y esas condiciones vienen de fábrica y con una familia de sustento y soporte, educadora que sabe dar a sus hijos lo mejor. Amira es un verdadero angel del cielo que bajo cuabdo pequeña y creció en esa madurez humana y angelical. Mi corazon se emociona muchisimo al escucharla. quiera Dios seguirla bendiciendo y haciendo de lla la mejor dd todas. te admiro Admira desde Argentina. tienes todos los mejores matices de voz muy aplicados. No tengo palabras para poder expresar tu belleza humana y artística. Sé feliz, sé feliz inmensamente como ya lo estás siendo. Mueves detrás tuyo a muchos admiradores y admiradoras que te veneran con amor fiel. Que Dios siga siendo también motivo y motor de tus canciones e interpretaciones.
This reminds me of some of bravest men ever As the titanic was sinking and peoplebwere panicking the ships band set up on the dec and started playing this hymn. I quieted the people who new the words were their future. The played till they could play no more. Surely they did meet there god that day.
Every time l hear this l always think of Titanic and the people who went down with it on that dreadful night. Love from Belfast on the island of Ireland.
