Ray I forgot to add that this short version of "O Mio Babbino Caro" was her best to date. Really beautiful but Your Love was out of this world! Many thanks my friend.

Mike Barnard where is this coming from, the. Song is absolutely butiful, now she really sings like a Angel. Amira you are amazing. Chicago IL.

Hi Ona. This is from Amira's performance during the MAX Christmas Proms 2017 concert. The shortened rendition of O Mio Babbino Caro is nevertheless, in my view, her best to date of this classic aria with her more mature voice now and of course "Your Love" is just spectacularly beautiful as you say. Your Love is on her latest and 3rd CD which has just become available to purchase, I assume directly via her website, or failing that, then shortly through Amazon as can her first 2 CDs.

Mike Barnard Hi Mike. One of my wishes is that Amira go back and sing some of her original pieces again in a different style using her incredible, more adult voice. Sancta Maria, Ave Maria Gomez, O Sole Mio, Ave Maria Gounod, O Mio Babbino Caro as an opera piece as opposed to a song, song to the moon, pie Jesu, all of them. They would be so different now. She has such a different tone and so much more control over her voice and vibrato, and her lower range has so much more body and resonance. Would be a delight to hear, don't you think. She just amazes me with every step she takes. I still think she has no idea how outstanding her vocal ability truly is. Did you her the excerpt from the Amigos Para Siempre duet with Patrizio. Just heavenly, their voices complement each other so well. Can't wait for the album to arrive.

Hi Luigi. I absolutely agree that if Amira were to sing updated versions of all those past songs you mentioned, it would indeed be incredible. As you say her voice has matured beautifully, and though it has always been pure and beautiful it is now beginning to demonstrate a vocal range, tessitura and vocal timbre that befits a rising soprano of high quality. Her past renditions were fabulous at the time but would reach stellar heights now! A good example was her last rendition of O Mio Babbino Caro performed by Amira during the MAX Christmas Proms 2017 (even in its shortened version) and the recent Flower Duet, both of which illustrate the marked and amazing changes to her vocal capabilities. I think her management and Coleske are taking Amira down the path of Classical Crossover rather than just Crossover which should be a good route to take at this stage of Amira’s career. They just need to market her products and performances much better as you have so ably pointed out. Hopefully that will come! I haven't heard the excerpt you spoke of, only those shown on Ray's uploads, so like you, I am really looking forward to getting the new CD shortly.

OBRIGADO PELA DECLARAÇÃO

Ditto

Yes!!!!!! Me too!!!!!!!!

Same here, Joe. So glad I found this lovely voice.

AMEN!

🥺Your words together with music make me cry

She is truly a miracle. The name Amira is the same letters that start off "a miracle". So fitting. Trust in Jesus Christ who died for you, he paid your fine in the courtroom, so you can go free. None of us are good so don't trust in your own good works. We have all broke the commandments and sin is serious in God's eyes. Trust in Jesus to save you. Then you won't be afraid to die

Beautifully put. I think there is some of the.poet in you, and that's what's needed to adequately describe The phenomenon that is Amira where.we've run out of all the.mere adjectives and adverbs.

Hans-Jürgen Braun Absolutely Heaven sent. Incredible. Yes Amira is only 13 years of age until 27 March, 2018, I believe it is. She is astonishing!!!!

The most Mature 13 year old on the planet.

Alors vous n'avez pas rencontré grand monde... Sortez un peu de chez vous et arrêtez d'écouter les médias. Patricia Janeckova, ça vous dit quelque chose ?

Ron; The world gives sometimes birth to a exceptional surprise.

@@RayVandenburg And here it is!

The same here!

@@RayVandenburg Thanks for the upload! I first saw her, I believe the (Netherlands Got Talent), I could be wrong, after that performance, I continued to find her on KZfaq. God Bless!

natural ,untrained, from the heart, unrestrained. take your pick

Rap lovers, no taste what so ever in music

Obviously, rap fans, the most vile music genre of all time.

Me,,I was amazed since the first time I saw her here in youtube and I never get tired or bored to listening to her!! It is a pleasure to hear her voice,I mean,to enjoy her voice!!😍😍😍😍

Nao me canso de apreciar essa grande artista linda e carismafica que DEus continue lhe abencoando sempre felicidades desde o brasil

IMO it is so wonderful that Amira's parents/management have not decked her out in flashy clothing, makeup, etc, let her focus be on the amazing voice. Ms Evancho has a great voice, but it seems to be overwhelmed by the celebrity-attitudes and treatment/marketing. I can listen to Amira's You-Tubes, her couple of CDs, over and over again, and still feel that beautiful heartache, as if the first time.

Barbara Buchanan I hope you will pardon my saying so but I feel like amira has eclipsed Jackie.

👍👍🙏🖖

@@barbarabuchanan8814 Well said👍👍🖖

Lindo, Fantástico

Amira se stem raak so diep binne n mens! Kannie help nie- trane rol net elke keer. Sò pragtig!

Amen......well said.

(Ingrid) totally agree. Let her have time to be a girl before she becomes a woman and save her from overexposure.

Amira's parents separated a few years ago and her mother moved back to South Africa, with Amira and her brother Fincent. She is studying hard and doing well at school. She does quite a number of small concerts around South Africa nd a few in Europe, but she is concentrating on her education and also her charity in SA.

@@jackleavitt1253 Another amen...a good teacher /teachers and a wise and honest manager. I heard it said of a good tenor one time that unfortunately he had sung too much through the teenage years..I'm not a singing buff but just wonder.

Daniel Hawkes 👍

I like Your unbiased comment! We all are lucky to hear these beautiful voices.

highcking job and

highcking very well said.....

Marcelo; thank you for this great comment. I find it very interesting for an English translation: "Incredible. When I saw her for the first time, shortly after winning the Holland Got Talent, I thought she would evolve and improve a lot, that her talent was going to unfold over time and practice her. Today, just a few years later, Amira has grown beautifully. Today she is a beautiful girl with one of the most beautiful voices I've heard and she shows us a deep love of music, a total commitment to its audience, regardless of the amount of this, and a human warmth that does not seem artificial or acted . I am happy to see how she grows and evolves. Thanks for the video, Ray. (I prefer to write in Spanish because my little command of English would not express what I feel)"

Thanks to you, Ray. Best regards!

Ray Vandenburg AMIRA es única. Su maravillosa voz a cautivado al mundo. Cuando no la estoy escuchando en KZfaq la escucho en sus DVD y cuando no puedo la escucho en mi mente. Su voz está grabada en mi subconsciente.

Ray Vandenburg Excellent translation. I mentally translated the comment but missed words here and there.
