Totally agree!!! James you have no idea how special, sweet and KIND you are. Some woman is going to be lucky to be yours someday! I hope you think of your subscribers....lololol. As I mentioned before......I truly and sincerely think you would make a wonderful pastor! Think about it. You understand human nature and feelings ....and you’re intuitive. This is just my opinion but I know one thing...or two....I love your reactions and have been following you for over 2 years.....and I would come to hear your sermon every week 😁😘🥰😍👍
@@saflynn14 he would b wasted as a pastor. The world needs more caring insightful people such as yrself helping people heal in other ways, grief councellors, therapists, psychologists etc even people going thru physical rehab.. whatever u choose to do I'm sure U will b successful. Also the world needs more people esp men to show that being emotional is not a weakness but a strength. Don't hide it, it helps no one
I saw that show too - no singing lessons. She said her brother plays violin so she wanted to do something and she taught herself - truly GOD given talent! You can't learn this!
That's what I found so amazing about her. Like I just watched some videos and then started singing like it's the most natural thing to do. I guess for her it was natural 💜💜💜
When I first heard this i used to wonder how human beings could create something so beautiful..... Now I think great art like this gives us a glimpse of God.
@Nicole Jessica no the answer is that unevidenced lies offend me and to say that these people who have worked incredibly hard to achieve these talented voices didn't get it through hard work but from "gods gift" is very demeaning in my opinion.
@Blackhole well I don't believe that and I didn't ask him to die for me anyway. The fact that he had to die because this psycho man in the sky made all humans sinners from birth is messed up anyway
She does have a beautiful voice, here at 10 years old. She is now 16 and still has an incredible voice. You said youth change the world. Amira from the start formed a foundation to help build play grounds in South Africa, for the schools. She donates a large part of earnings for this cause. I believe the number of playgrounds is about 15 so far. The girl puts her heart into her singing and to help the less fortunate. She is a class act
@@ferns4me Sorry no. She was 9 in the performances of Hollands Got Talent. Which took place Nov- Dec 2013. This performance took place July 2014, four months after her 10th birthday March 27th 2014. I know there is a clip of Andre saying 9 years old, it was an error, probably why when he reissued this one when audience reaction in, he cut the age out. She will be 17 on March 27th
This performance was the perfect storm. A totally charming singer with an angelic voice. Wonderful orchestra and staging. And the perfect fit of the singer to the subject of the song. This aria is sung, many times, by a mature soprano. But the actual song is supposed to be a young girl telling her father about the boy she has met and that if she cannot be with him she wants to throw herself into the River Arno and drown. This performance was perfection!
This is unlike any kind of music that I usually listen to but I had to watch. The whole time I watched I kept thinking to myself this is what an angel would sound like in the heavens... She has been beyond blessed with that voice. If you can bring that many people to tears at once, that’s incredible! ❤️❤️
I love that you like it. Let yourself fall in the RU-vid hole, starting with anything by Maria Callas, or the Flower Duet sung by Anna Netrebko and Elina Garanca. You won't regret it. ❤
Or the Flower Duet from Amira Willighagen and Corlea Botha. And what to think of Nessun Dorma, Amazing Grace, Nella Fantasia, Gabriella's Song and Sound of Music all by the wonderful angel Amira! ❤
Man, the passion this young lady presents her personality. She sang this song in an earlier talent competition in Holland I believe and she won it at 9yrs old. She's older now and hopefully she'll be one of the greats.
I listen to her performance once a week to make sure I really heard it the way I think I heard it (over a hundred times at least)... and I did. It's phenomenal and the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
André Rieu is a Dutch violinist who helds annually these outdoor concerts in his hometown. People travel all over the world to see them, mostly from Europe. They are also sent live in cinemas and I was just there to see the best of clips from past years because big events are cancelled for now. Rieu is famous for bringing out surprise performers, sometimes they're known like Jermaine Jackson or David Hasselhoff driving the KITT car through the stage, but mostly the guests are total strangers who happen to be the best singers you've ever heard.
OMG - thank you for finally finding AMIRA. She deserves so much more attention, and I've been a fan for years. She is either 9 or 10 in this performance Please listen to her performance of AMAZING GRACE when she was 14. Best live version I have ever heard.
I just love your reactions .... you are right about this young lady, she has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard - and best of all, she just loves singing :)
Ese mensaje que has dado..... es genial. Protege a esa generación, son el futuro y las artes y la música es un baremo de nuestra mejora como seres humanos.
Oh how beautiful what an angel, I cried through the whole song. Don't hold back your emotions James, that's what music is suppose to evoke. Love everything you do, it's so diverse.
15.000 people and not a dry eye among them 😃👌 True Angel of Future Music Thanks for Your Honest reaction and support to this beautiful Soul 👼🌟😃👍 ~ OneLove ~ JBB
My favorite video of all time of my favorite soprano of all time and Amira has only gotten better !!!! Also proof positive of your good musical Taste and passion for it !!! 🎤🔊🦁.
Words become inadequate in trying to describe the ocean of emotion that overwhelms us in listening to the joyous sound of Amira. Your reaction is priceless.
I’m blown away at your openness. I really wish there were more people like you in this world. I can only imagine how we could all come together and live in a beautiful world.
Watch more of Amira. She is spectacular! Like Angelina Jordan, Amira cares. She is building playgrounds all over S Africa for all the children who don't have one. One of my favorites is her duet with Patrizio, singing O Sole Mio. Some have already mentioned her singing Amazing Grace. Also, you will do yourself an injustice, if you do watch her singing Flowers, in a duet. There are some amazingly talented people around the world.
James as others have said your face was a picture I think she was 10yrs old she had a 2week master class with Andre and his orchestra this was from the Saturday night's performance in front of 11000+ people in the audience look at some of her latest songs she is still stunning keep up with your reactions.
Unbelievable.. I welled up as soon as her mouth opened and those sounds came out, had to fight back tears every time she hit those high notes, still cant believe it. For another classic by André Rieu i would strongly recommend... O Fortuna (Carmina Burana - Carl Orff) - André Rieu Reason being is, it is such a powerful masterpiece, it will give you a whole new vibe within the classical music genre to experience. Peace be with you, always.
I really appreciate your honest reactions. Be if you can't appreciate these new young prodigy's you have no soul. You are a good man. I'm an 83 yr old fanboy of Angelina Jordan and Amira. I cry! God is great..
I seem this video a few year ago and I was blown away! What a beautiful amazing voice this beautiful child has. Love your reaction which was so emotional. I also had the same emotional reaction first time hearing her voice.
James I'm blown away too. That voice from that beautiful little girl. I love classical music but this is amazing. Don't EVER apologize for your feelings, especially those that are brought about by this music. I get misty eyed listening to Moonlight sonata. Keep up this wonderful chanel.
You are so wonderful to have such a loving heart embracing classical music! I am so grateful you reacted to this performance of the beautiful child with the angelic voice because I probably wouldn’t have found this performance otherwise. Love the great work you are doing on your channel, JB!
Its been a long time since you first met Amira. You have done a couple more, but not nearly all of them. Don't any performances. She will continue to amaze you. Truly special
Yes she is changing the world…. She is so full of love…….for her music …….. but also for other children…..from the start giving her money to share with them…… verry special lovely person…..
Notice how the maestro made sure the orchestra played around her rhythm and timing of the song? Amazing such a small tike can have that kind of respect from older, more experienced musicians.
I just finished watching you react to Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma and this. You and I and the audience are decades apart, different backgrounds, different languages, different cultures, even different continents, yet I saw you and other people in the audience have the same reaction, the music spoke to our emotions and we all heard. Music is a universal language. Keep your ears and mind open. Thank you
It's totally understandable that you are going through emotions right now. Listening to such touching music and going through a loss at the same time would get to anyone. Beautiful reaction...
James, I had to watch and listen to your reaction to this performance for a second time and this time just want to say you are spot on with your statement...Protect our children, they can change the world. You are a star James.
She's now 16, the video dates from 2014 (she won Holland got talent at 9 in 2013)...Now she's a Huge (and I mean Huge) talent ! Try her version of "Gabriella's Song" from the movie "As in Heaven" or her version of "Amazing Grace" in concert in South Africa !!!!! She's one of the, if not THE greatest young soprao singer I have ever heard !
Thank you for introducing Opera to those who might otherwise never have the blessing of the experience. And thank you for your honest reactions. Letting people know it is perfectly OK to let the music take you away. That its purpose.
I am almost 70. Has anyone noticed just how many young children the world over have these angelic, super amazing singing voices? I am certain, this phenomena did not exist when I was a child. This little Dutch girl is one of so many have been 'discovered" on TV talent shows. Where would we be without them-the shows and the kids.
If you want to hear just how much Amira's voice has improved in just several years, I strongly recommend listening to her duet w/ Corlea Botha, singing "The Flower Duet" live from a venue in South Africa. Very possibly the most beautiful composition/performance I have ever heard.
Great reaction James! Amira is an amazing talent and vocalist. Many consider Amira the best female vocalist world wide,, a 16 year old. Listen to O Sole Mio performed at 12 year old or The Flower Duet and Amazing Grace performed at 13 years old. It will be hard to hold back the emotion She is also quite the humanitarian setting up a foundation to help the under privileged in South Africa. A little research and I'm sure you will find Amira amazing. .
I am stunned ! My eyes are big as saucers, my jaw is gaping open. I am shocked such tiny lungs such a small young person can produce such giant full beautiful sound.
Amira's well-trained soprano's technical prowess is unheard of at the age of 10 - and the voice of an amazing child prodigy is heard. Very early on, Amira's vibrato and squiro virtuosity is miraculous, touching the hearts of listeners and giving the whole audience a standing ovation.
She's the absolute best at this age. No other at that age, even our own U.S. one, can compare to this beautiful child. Self taught with no voice or singing lessons and won Holland's Got Talent at the age of 7 or 8 I believe.
@@roymagnus827 She was 8 during the show and turned 9. Thank you. I was close when I said 7 or 8. ha ha. The 7 year old was Angelina Jordan who won Norway's Got Talent. Beyonce won her first talent show called Star Search at the age of 7.
@@wvob6752 Amira's date of birth was 27 March 2004. Her first audition for HGT was on August 31, 2013 (it went to air in October 2013); the semi finals and finals were in the last week of December 2013. Do the maths yourself.
She is now 16 and residing in Potchefstroom, South Africa. About a month ago, so I've heard, she went to buy a piano and sang a few songs there. It looks like its been recorded on a mobile 'phone, but she did a fantastic CARUSO, which is a difficult song. She always blow my mind away.
Fantastic reaction James. I am so happy that someone recommended this extremely talented and originally self taught classical singer to you. I’ve noticed some other people in the comments have also directed you towards watching Amira perform Amazing Grace live which is a must...please try do so as you won’t be disappointed.
JB, you were not the only one moved by this performance, as witnessed by the video audience wiping away tears and looking on in shock. This was a beautiful performance, and even more spectacular in that it was done by someone so young. BRAVA to Amira and many thanks to the classical teachers who recommended this one. Great music should move you!
Do not ever apologize for showing your true emotions. This little girl is amazing and even though I have no idea what she's saying, you can feel the emotion in the way it is sung. Many people in the audience were brought to tears. I read that when she first saw people crying, she thought she did something wrong. They had to explain to her that the music was so good, they cried.
I know how you feel James, I have worn my heart on my sleeve my WHOLE life, and I am 74 now. NEVER be ashamed to show that emotion. If we had more human beings in this world like you we would not have all the trouble and strife we have in the world today. You are a kind, feeling soul, I wish I could adopt you as my grandson and have a conversation with you over music! Peace and Love young man.
Oh dear Lord. If you head classical again, screw the rabbit hole, you're lookin at the Grand Canyon. Btw, you are the only reactor I've subscribed to. God Bless.
One of the last things I ever thought you would react to is Andre Rieux lol. Gonna watch it now.. Edit: That was amazing! Especially your reaction to it, you really went deep. It's so good, its almost worrying though. She shouldnt be this good and go this deep so young, maybe, I don't know..
While you are visiting the world of opera, I very strongly suggest’The FlowerDuet’ from Lakme opera . It’s just stunningly beautiful ! Always love your reactions. You are a sweetheart! Love n hugs from the UK😃
When I heard Amira sing for the first time years ago, tears of joy shot into my eyes and goose bumps flooded my body. This physical reaction has remained until today, every time I hear Amira singing. Amira is definitely an exceptional talent. In every Reaction Video you can see stunned faces, there can be no greater compliment for Amira's singing.
If I rember right, this song is a girl pleading with her father to allow her to marry the boy she loves. It's a beautiful song. This young lady is wonderful!
