She is 20 this month, and still singing. She has just started a Bmus course at Pretoria uni to develop her knowledge of music. Though she has spent the lat 10 years producing outstanding performances, that are frankly jaw dropping. She herself puts her talent down to a gift from God and has pledged to be generous with her gift and to use it for the greater good. Half of her earning get directed towards her own foundation to help poor children in South Africa, where she is now based. There are some wonderful videos of her on you tube, just start with those which have had millions of views, and you should have an enjoyable time.

That sweet little girl was so innocent, she thought she had done/sang something wrong the first time she saw the audience start crying. She can not only bring tough guys to tears, she can also bring 10,000 people to their feet.

Great reaction! Your analysis was perfect. Congratulations. But don't be afraid to praise Amira. There are no buts. There is no repair in this rendition, even if Amira here were 18 years old, there would still be no but. Thanks to the potential audience provided by the internet and social media, and thanks to her unique talent and personality, Amira is already the most popular top soprano of all time.

She will be 20 this year. She still sings and loves singing. If anything, I think she is at least as impressive now as she was at 10. If you would like to see a completely stripped down, more recent performance, watch her cover of Gesu Bambino. It is filmed on a cell phone, her father playing the organ, in an otherwise empty church. It will show you the true beauty of her talent. I'm certain that she has worked very hard to develop the skills necessary to be able to do this but, the talent is a beautiful gift from God.

You have discovered Amira Willighagen! Congrats. Amira is only 20 years old currently and has been blowing everyone away for eleven years! Her performances are amongst the most watched videos on KZfaq - and for good reason! There are multiple dozens of extraordinary performances for your to watch. If you were impressed with her audition for HGT then you simply cannot ignore the rest of her performances in HGT. She won it that year, by the way, with the largest winning margin in the history of that competition! Also, do not neglect the stellar achievements of Amira when she is not singing! Do your research here and prepare to be stunned! This young lady does not have fans.... Instead there are hundreds of millions of people around the world who love her like a favorite daughter or sibling, or niece, and the reasons for that response are valid! There are lots of excellent singers around the world however on the trajectory Amira is on she is well on course to be of the very best sopranos of all time.... Spend time getting to know Amira - you will not be disappointed! Essentially she is a once in a generation type prodigy and not just because of her singing!

Hello. Great reaction really ! Amira was ten years old at this time. André Rieu gave her just a few vocal lessons during a couple of days, but nothing else. So she was self-taught, just listening to Maria Callas and a few other sopranos on You Tube. Anyway, when Amira was 13, during an interview, she was asked about her high vocal register, and she answered : "I just open my mouth big and the high notes come out". They are many other wonderful performances by Amira on You Tube..

Amira was 7 when she decided to sing opera.

She went on to the finals and received over 50% of the vote with 8 acts competing!!! She crushed the competition. She walks out, relaxed and confident, waving to her fans, having a great time and towers over the other competitors as a 9-year old. You should watch her semi-final performance of Ave Maria.

If you consider the average intelligence to be 50% of what is possible, she is in the top half-percentile of the human intelligence range - and she comes from a classically musical (at an amateur level) family.
