I very rarely look at ‘…Got Talent’ shows, but this one always stops me in my tracks. The voice is so unexpected and the songs were learnt listening to them on You Tube without any lessons. This is quite remarkable. Indeed she went on to win the competition. Amira and her family moved to South Africa where she has become a teenager and has contined to enthrall audiences with her voice. ‘O Mio Babbino Caro’ by Puccini is sung by Lauretta who begs her father to help her marry the love of her life.
For your entertainment I am including her contest winning performance of Nessum Dorma. This aria from Turandot (also by Puccini) translates as ‘None Shall Sleep’ and is sung by Calaf (the unknown prince) to the cold hearted Princess Turandot.
