Old Soul?? Walk In?? Holy Crap! **Update** Page 2 | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 47203201 United States 12/16/2013 02:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As many of you all know, I'm a huge fan of Opera. I fell in love with Maria Callas' angelic voice when I was little. She was born in 1923 and passed away in 1977. Quoting: Éireann Here is Maria singing "Ava Maria". You don't have to listen to the whole thing, but you need to hear a bit of it for a comparison. [link to www.youtube.com] Now. Listen to this little girl sing "O Mio Babbino Caro". Amira Willighagen is from Nijmegen, The Netherlands and is nine years old. [link to www.youtube.com] Uitstekend! I'm just... The child's demeanor is more mature and humble than most adults I know. I don't know where her knowledge of singing comes from, but she didn't get it from a professional who has trained their voice for years and years. Everything about this child is magical. Old soul? Walk in? I mean. What the heck? How does a voice like that come out of a child that small? She has skill that takes most opera singers years to master. I can post the full version of the little girl's performance w/English subtitles if anyone is interested. Wow. Gorgeous |

I still have chill bumps from listening to her sing. It was so beautiful it made me cry. Past life bleed through. I don't know any other way to classify it other than - Whoa!

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

I have never had good luck with using this site's search engine no matter what keywords I type in. Even if it had been posted before, it was the first I'd seen or heard of it and my topic is about the possibility of this child, and others like her who are extremely gifted at such a young age, being old souls or walk ins. If you have an opinion, please post, otherwise I'll have to assume that you have a tiny life for needing to point out the petty.

God, that was annoying. Quoting: Frayed Knot But the little girl is amazing. Yes. That totally annoyed me as well. I've just now started to do some research on the young lady and since she is so new to the scene there aren't many recordings of her. Here's one where she's singing the same song for a charity benefit live on Dutch TV.

Quoting: seer very possibly. we bring the skills and talents from previous lifetimes into the next, however each lifetime has a different purpose. All I know is that to have muscle control like that takes knowledge and practice and instruction. She has the knowledge, but the other two are lacking. This is what has me dumbfounded. Where the hell did she get the knowledge without the instruction? I would also like to post the entire video of the Holland's Got Talent so you can hear what is being said. She just decided on Queen's Day of this year to sing opera. The English translation isn't the greatest, but you'll get the gist. She has everyone else asking the same "Old Soul?" question.

Actually, the surname "Latz" is the German short form of the Hungarian surname László which means "One who commands glory" and Tallen is a variant of the name 'Tallyn' which comes from the Olde French word "Taillant" which means "Cutting Edge" and was a nickname given to swordsmen in the medieval times.

Oh dear me. Forgive my muggle use of the word unnatural to describe this. I meant uncommon in a supernatural way. I am so very sorry that you have not been appreciated for your gifts. Are you still in NY State? Have you thought of moving elsewhere where no one knows you and just starting over as an artist? I'm sure you've already thought of that :/ Is there *anything* I can do to help? I mean it :) I might be overstepping my bounds, but did your parents, by any chance, use your talents for their own bragging rights? That can always lead to gifted children being ostracized by other kids and it probably laid the groundwork for your being used as a party trick rather than being taken seriously for the gifts you have. I'm serious. I would like to help, if I can.
