The impact of a 9-year-old Dutch girl’s raw talent has shocked judges at the Holland Got Talent program and created an overnight international sensation. She is Amira Willighagen, a schoolgirl otherwise unknown who has never even taken singing lessons. Here she sings a familiar piece from Puccini’s opera ‘Gianni Schicchi’. It is known in English as Oh My Beloved Father. From the Mirror: “Are you really nine years old?” astounded judge Chantal Janzen asked. “This is incredible.” Perhaps even more amazing was when young Amira admitted she had never even had singing lessons, instead honing her incredible voice from YouTube tutorials. In the above video the opening remarks are in Dutch. Amira begins to sing at about one minute and 40 seconds into the video. Mirror
