Only 9-years old, Amira beautifully sang Ave Maria in the Semi-Finals Liveshow of Holland's Got Talent on 21 December 2013.

Amira Willighagen, only 9 years old, sang Nessun Dorma beautifully during the Final Liveshow of Holland's Got Talent on 28 December 2013, and won Holland's Got Talent 2013 ! As the Winner, Amira will travel to Las Vegas to perform on The Strip in 2014, so all Americans can enjoy her qualities !

"Nessun Dorma" (English: "None shall sleep&quot is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot, and is one of the best-known arias in all opera. It is sung by the unknown prince, who falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but cold Princess Turandot. However, any man who wishes to wed Turandot must first answer her three riddles; if he fails, he will be beheaded. So tonight, Amira acts like a real Princess falling in love with a Prince. The name "Amira" means "Princess" in Arabic.

1. She has a sweet voice

I still prefer Jackie Evancho though, for both Ave Maria and Nessum Dorma. Amira relies too much on vibrato to control pitch. Jackie seems to sustain pitch better, with a purer clearer tone.

3. iirc, Amira is self-taught whereas Jackie has had voice training

I agree with you, Amira loses the pitch a little now and then, as well as losing final consonants and other flaws that the majority don't notice, including the judges. But for self-taught, she is quite phenomenal. Both of them, really. Add some training to Amira, and doubtless those flaws would clean up.
