AMIRA Willighagen- Is she sent from Heaven?

The Bangkok Voice Coach is stunned by the simple perfection of Amira Willighagen singing La Forza del Destino (The Force of Destiny) by Verdi. Mostly limited to great lyric sopranos at the height of their careers, this astounding young singer shows her vocal class and musical genius can cope with the world’s most challenging music.

Amira, the STUNNING, UNIQUE, OUT OF THIS WORLD SUPER SOPRANO..

[michiakiuematsu]

This recently, this year, Amira turned 19 and her voice is getting better and better, like crystal, stronger and clearer, Amira shows her love for singing and humbly, sings humbly but with a feeling of giving. She gives masterclasses at every performance. She is not from this planet. she belongs to heaven

William: Thank you again for promoting Amira. We look forward to many more!

Sir, a most professional and knowledgeable reaction video. You have no equal at what you do. Not only was Amira a joy to listen to and watch, but your obvious love of opera comes shining through. You are not the first to comment on Amira's command of her pitch and tuning. Each note she sings starts out on perfect pitch, is held throughout the note, and ends without having to corrected for the slightest deviation from pitch perfect.
She sings another song, "When You Wish Upon a Star" from the Disney film, Pinocchio. I think she displays here exactly what you are saying about her tuning. She sings it so slowly, she exposes herself completely to any errors she might commit. And the beauty of that song commits no errors. She has mastered, at her age, the art of simplicity.
Thank you for the pleasant experience of a great reaction video.

I am so privileged to watch this bona fide analysis on Amira, coming from an exceptional music professional like William Morris. Thank you.

[Stampalex]

Fantastic insights - could listen to you all day... She really is wonderful, isn't she?

[roblouw]

Yes, rather extraordinary interpretation by Amira - and her projection at the end leaves that note ringing clearly in one's head long after listening to it - i have on several occasions been in her presence and company and those encounters have left lasting memories of her and her genius - thank you for your insights...

[bluesummer]

I cant find the words for the beauty of this performance by all. Have to have my fill of Amira's beautiful voice every day...so thanks William for posting this video.... contrasted with the male singers in background. STUNNING.

[pamelamawby]

Beautiful reaction .... thank you
To me this is the most peaceful, serene performance I've ever seen her do stunning for such a young soprano (16 at this point)

[alowatsakima]

From that first audition @ Hollands Got Talent, I knew she was good, but never imagined how great she would become. I enjoy hearing her over and over, just relaxing and beautiful.

[passqualecaiazza]

Outstanding reaction. This is from her African Christmas streaming concert 2020. She was 16. In March she will be 19. Amira sings absolutely beautifully.

[JackPoynter]

Excellent reaction to and description 0f the music. Amira just keeps growing/

[michiakiuematsu]

Amira's singing voice is so pure, so beautiful and wonderful! !

[johnbattles]

This was a wonderful reaction and analysis! Thank you! And I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of Amira being divinely inspired. She has a strong faith in the Lord and expresses it in a very matter-of-fact way with joy, love, and grace!

[shooster]

Subscribed... You got me with this one! Haha. When Amira sang this, I had never heard the piece before. This performance just had me mesmerised and perfectly still for it's duration. Everything about it is so beautiful and captivating, the lighting, the choir, the musicians, and Amira, so perfectly still in that beautiful dress, with that voice. But it is so tantalisingly short ....I replayed it over and over ..and over again! It's hard for me to limit my 'favorites' of Amira's performances to date, but this is definitely one of them!

[luigimanzoni]

Beautifully done reaction to and analysis of Amiras' performance.
I appreciate your explanation of what makes Amiras' voice and delivery of this piece of music so different from other "more experienced" artists.
I always struggled with understanding the difference in what I was hearing in Amiras' performances compared to other, older more highly trained and experienced artists.
To me, the difference is not technical but a more honest interpretation of the composers work.
Thanks for doing such an excellent job of explaining in simple terms that Amira let's the composers meaning clearly and distinctly flow forth from her lips.
In many of her performances, especially in her preteen years she actually seemed to lose herself in the music only returning back to earth at the end of her performances.
Two things she said that stood out in an interview at 9 years old having taught herself by watching You Tube videos of Opera singers before ever having a lesson with a vocal coach. One was that her goal was to produce the most beautiful sound she could and would worry and learn about the rest later.
The second was she just didn't understand why people cried when they listened to her singing and having that effect on people was perplexing and a bit of a concern.
I can't speak for everyone but Amira manages to touch something deep inside of me that no other artist ever has. Her music has become a permanent fixture in my daily life. The most difficult part now is waiting for the next performance.

[MyFormerSelf]

Excellent analysis and I too believe Amira is divinely inspired. Most vocalists focus on the technicals as they are singing - correct pitch, breath control, vibrato, etc This all appears to come naturally, automatically with Amira. She immerses herself in the music and her entire being is singing including her soul. Truly exceptional and exceedingly rare.

I'm 83 and I know nothing about music or vocal delivery. However, nothing pierces my heart more than Amira's singing and words fail me trying to explain it better.
