Beautiful Lisboa :-)!!

What a nice reaction, on so many aspects of this great performance. Thanks the two of you!

... the best voice in the world.... ❤️‍🔥

This is the first video I’ve seen of you both, absolutely loved your reactions.. especially your side-eyes to each other, priceless 😂😂

I love your guys reactions, always pleasant and reliable. I know you like Diana Ankudinova , but there is another young female Russain singer, a little bit older than DIana, but very gifted. She is highly trained in folk, and sings in such genres are pop, indie, rap, and various others. At her music school she was given the role of leader of the folk choir. I will send you a song that just came out a couple of months ago,, It is a sad but beautiful song. Hope you get the chance to listen and react.. MIRAVI - Воля (official mood video, 2024)

The words had all been spoken and yet the feeling still wasn't right. Mother, you are right! Nothing could ever compare to what she and all the others did that night. 12,500 willing victims to her charms and the orchestras power. Andres is my hero and Emma is my drug/heroine. Even after hundreds of views I am still crying and looking for more. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Great Job!!!

💐💐💐💌👍

Many more concerts with other orchestras all fantastic. Just before tour. She Just turned 16 she has been on a world tour with Andre since jan . Tour End in sept . She is an angel!

On A world tour, we'll done girl you're a super star

Dimash,Nr.1.no comment.

Welcome to the world of Emma Kok, and you are going to enjoy a lot more over time, that performance in July 2023 was Emma's first ever appearance with Andre on his stage in Maastricht, set up every year in the main town square of his home town, it was the first of the 2023 series which ran to 12 concerts over the month of July, and this was the first ever performance of this version of Voila, which Andre and his team created for Emma, it's a song from Eurovision 2021, sung originally by Barbara Pravi, and it came second in the competition. Emma learnt it (phonetically, she doesn't speak French) because the words have deep meaning for her, she was born with the disease as Andre mentioned, and at 9 MONTHS, she had to be put on to tube feeding to keep her alive, and she's been on that regime since then, 22 hours a day, a huge restriction on so many aspects of her life, it's slowed her growth, and impacted her stamina, there are times when for even walking longer distances, she has to have the help of a wheelchair, but she is determined to achieve her goals, she will not let her disease define her life. Andre invited her into the studio to meet him after she won Ministars, singing her original version of Voila, it's very different to the version she's singing with Andre. Ministars, singing to Barbara Pravi video, the look on her face at the end is priceless, she absolutely nailed it. ua-cam.com/video/rOKVK4o-vf4/v-deo.html Before that, she won the Voice Kids competition in 2021, and the video of her progression to winning shows so clearly just how much her growth has been delayed by gastroparesis, she's tiny when compared to her competitiors. ua-cam.com/video/20gXikNRjbo/v-deo.html Emma has the ability to have a powerful effect on people, she truly is very special, and she very much did indeed dominate the stage, the orchestra and the audience, she was the one leading the entire performance, Andre is notionally leading, but he's watching Emma and taking his timing and cues from her, several times she leads off with no guidance note, and changes key in the same way, that's a rare ability, and at the end, as she punched the air in triumph, that cheeky smile said it all, she knew she'd just delivered the performance of her life, and so did Andre, she was booked for 12 concerts, and after this first night, she was invited by Andre to perform 2 concerts in Malta, to be a part of his Christmas concerts and then become a guest star in his world tour for 2024, a series of 75 concerts literally around the world. In the time since this first video, Emma has gone from strength to strength, she did an amazing series of songs in September 2023 for a special event, the liberation concert to remember the 8000 Americans who gave their lives to liberate Holland in WWII, in an interview she said she was 'honoured' to be asked to participate, and she gave one of her most powerful performances in the first song 'Father', a Demi Levato cover, it's notabe for how she starts so soft and gentle, and then in the middle, she goes into absolute belter mode, and in the process destroys the sound engineer behind her, the emotion and power of her performance breaks him, several times. liberation concert Introduction to the concert ua-cam.com/video/e5HBdHX6bew/v-deo.html Father ua-cam.com/video/y554GsqMHj8/v-deo.html Hero ua-cam.com/video/iYVEIXwNmT8/v-deo.html You Raise me up, duet with Nico Wouterse, notable for the closing line by Emma, 'I will tell them, for as long as I can' ua-cam.com/video/baH0JQsLo3c/v-deo.html This was another deeply moving song, made more poignant by Emma's closing words, before they left the stage to a standing ovation, Emma's words were a recognition from her of the recognition of her vulnerability, she is very much aware of the risk of her life being shortened by the awful implications of gastroparesis, there have been a significant number of suicides among sufferers of this disease because of the huge problems that are faced on a daily basis as a result of the disease. Emma seems to have been able to come to terms with the problems of living with the disease, but it was clear from a deeply moving song she sang a few months earlier that she's very much aware of the problems she faces, a young friend, Angela, died as a result of gastroparesis, and Emma recorded a song to remember her, and it's notable for the closing words, she's engaged in an imaginary conversation with her friend, and asks her about what's happening where she is, and the ending line is so sad, 'Yeah, I know, you'll tell me when I get there'. When I Get There - @PinkVideoVault Unaccompanied short, very powerful, a song about the passing of a very close friend, given Emma's own situation, so incredibly deep and moving, just incredible. Translation of the note that Emma put into the notes about the video, the original is in Dutch, Last night my dear friend Angela became a star! 💗 I'm going to miss you incredibly much, but every time I look at the starry sky I know you're looking back 💗 ua-cam.com/video/0nIpN86mw6E/v-deo.html A Memorial song for Angela also, Laat Mij Een Vlinder Zijn 13 May 2023 a video short, ua-cam.com/video/k-ZtoS0E1B8/v-deo.html 'Today I had the opportunity to sing at the farewell of my dear friend Angela 💘 Angela always wanted to go viral with her tiktoks, she wanted to be popiejopie! Let's make this happen, share this message as much as possible so that Angela goes viral and she can really be popie from above ♥🙏🏻' This song was Emma's first single Let me be a butterfly, ,and in it, she's singing about her desperate desire to be free of the restrictions and limitations that are part of her every day experience, she wants to be able to live a different life, she wants to become like the chrysalis emerging from the cocoon in which it's undergone huge change, and soar into the heavens as the newly emerged butterfly that's the end result, she wants to soar into the heavens, free. In the studio version, ua-cam.com/video/Zcxan9R5s4E/v-deo.html there's a section from 2:02 to 2:35 where she sings 'If only for a day, or even for a count of 10, I'd just like to live as another', and as she sings it, her eyes close, she gently shakes her head, and then her head goes down, and she falls silent, and it's clear that she's considering her situation, and having to come to terms with the reality that for now, there can be no change, no freedom from the pressures and limitations of being tied to her feeding pumps for 22 hours a day, but then, having looked at all of the situation she's in, she determines that she is not going to let her illness define her life, she is going to fight every inch of the way, and rise above the disease, and as she does so, her head comes up, and she starts to sing again, she rises to a new top note, she makes it clear that she is going to take this disease and find ways to overcome it, and to rise like the butterfly of that song, and of course, that's exactly what happened on the first night she sang on Andre's stage in Maastricht, physically, she walked out onto the stage, but mentally, she became the butterfly, she soared over the stage, the orchestra, and the audience, she dominated the entire area, she was in command of her own life, and in command of everything around her, and that performance of Voila was the start of the New Emma rising into the heavens as a new star. There's also been several versions of the Leonard Cohen song, Hallelujah'. The first is a traditional version, she sings with the Maastricht Star, Male voice choir, and it's a strong performance, Emma Kok en de Mastreechter Staar Hallelujah, 2 years ago, so she was only 14 when she sang this ua-cam.com/video/o3uskk3objU/v-deo.html In Christmas 2023, she did a TV Christmas version for a Dutch TV channel MAX TV performance, very powerful and yet so gentle in the start, full orchestra ua-cam.com/video/9qVHQuPQud0/v-deo.html A few days later, she did a studio performance of a shorter version of the one she's done a few days earlier, but with only a piano for accompaniment, and this was a very strong performance, ua-cam.com/video/ma01DXvF5Vk/v-deo.html In recent days, to confirm just how much she is now being recognised in Holland, she was a key performer at the Amsterdam Liberation concert, attended by the Dutch Royal family, she did a very powerful duet with April Darby, 'When you believe' ua-cam.com/video/YG8WV1GFt_c/v-deo.html Before I close with my normal appeal to all the readers and subscribers to this site, Emma's foundation can be found at gastrostars.nl If at all possible, please join me in making a (regular) donation to her foundation, to enable them to help patients like Emma, and research this awful disease, and hopefully find a cure. At the moment, they are a small group, and one of their main people is a surgeon who has a lot of experience in dealing with gastroparesis, and she is not only a surgeon, but also suffers from the same disease herself, to the extent that as a result of her condition worsening, she's had to leave her role in the hospital, and she is now dedicated to the foundation, and working to help find possible new treatments, or even better the cure that will free people like Emma to live a more normal life, rather than be tied to the feeding pumps for so many hours every day. It would be wonderful news to hear that they have been able to change the outlook for Emma and others, it would be tragic if Emma were unable to continue to sing like she does, while she looks stunning on stage, her stamina is not good, so it is a very delicate balance to maintain her health, it would be so good to hear that the situation has been changed by the work the foundation are doing, Emma would then be free to spend more time doing what she loves so dearly.

You need the English translation to appreciate its significance to Emma. Two more songs that also express her experience are: Strijder (Warrior), the official recording, but with English lyrics, and Butterfly (the music festival recording), again the recording with English lyrics. Also Andre's recording of his live Christmas concert when Emma sang "All I Want For Christmas." In Athens she got at least three curtain calls following Voila, by the enthusiastic crowd. Currently on a world tour with Andre, her mother accompanies her to supervise the medical equipment. Emma is tubed up 22 hours a day and makes the most of her two hours of total freedom.

Love how she starts soft and ends strong

guys as usual, great reaction and great comments, you mentioned her and the orchestra, something i noticed, and if you watch it back, was, the orchestra followed emma, at the end of a chorus, or hos breaks in silence, or when she started the song, the orchestra came in on her second word, she started they followed, she cammanded that stage and the orchestra

For future reference. Take a break and let it out, this brings up a lot for everyone. But take care of yourselves too. Dont contain that much , takea break and let that bawl out. We use this video to prompt a good healthy release as needed. Otherwise, great reaction. But this is group therapy ☺️❤️

The lyrics are completely a narration of her life. She knws and is singing from the totality of her every living experience. This is the most emotionally compelling song ive ever heard. She went on to tour with Andre after that with a full entourage everywhere. She is such a gift . Count your blessings

This song did not hit your souls as intended. Ouch, I've seen grown men and women cry to this...

This was a lovely sincere reaction of this performance which was extraordinary. The emotion she conjures up here is not a one off for Emma. There are plenty of examples but for me her rendition of Demi Lovato's 'Father' stands out. She sang this at a Liberation Concert in September 2023 at the WWII American War Graves Cemetery in Margraten in the south of the Netherlands. The sincerity of the delivery and the emotion is off the charts - ua-cam.com/video/y554GsqMHj8/v-deo.html Something loosely related but a different kind of song. At this years Freedom Concert (5th May 2023) in Amsterdam, with the King and Queen of the Netherlands, plus the Prime Minister and other dignitaries present, Emma was invited to sing twice. This song is a duet with April Darby, 'When You Believe' (originally sung by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey) - ua-cam.com/video/YG8WV1GFt_c/v-deo.html A bit more on Emma's back story: Andre Rieu's introduction mentions Emma's foundation and that she won The Voice Kids NL in 2021, but did you know how the foundation started? Emma also won the first series of Ministars in early 2023. When asked by the producers what she would do with the €25000 prize money (which the rules stated she could only receive when she was 18), Emma said she would use it to start a foundation: a) to raise awareness of her little known condition, b) to support fellow sufferers of all gastrointestinal illnesses, c) to raise further funds to support research into gastroparesis. They were so impressed by her vision that they decided she could have the money immediately. A few weeks later Emma's Gastrostars foundation was born (www.gastrostars.nl). In my opinion there is hope for humanity while we have young people with the vision to do something like that, coupled with the drive to make it happen. Emma has also performed concerts for the benefit of musicians / artists impacted by Covid (when she was 12), people affected by flooding in Limburg (age 13) , and those affected by the Turkish earthquake (age 14). Emma has performed for children's cancer charities and in addition to her own foundation is also an ambassador for paediatric research in the area where she lives.

Well Done MUM

Great reaction. I agree with almost everything you said. Emma is a phenomenal young vocal artist. She has only just begun to make her mark in this world, but make an indelible mark she will. One point of slight contention: it was Emma who was in command of the stage and the orchestra. That is why Maestro Rieu had is eyes on her throughout the performance. He was conducting the orchestra to follow her lead. Notice that she began a cappella and performed an epic key change without reference to the orchestra at all. Emma is one to watch. Her talent and ability are off the charts.

Always good when you cry while smiling!

Loved this reaction btw it was cool!

This was her 1st performance with an audience that large did't seem to phase her a bit! In fact I think it made her better!

ua-cam.com/video/cy6j9aqoi18/v-deo.htmlsi=_ChITXGEHvwd6DiG

Emma owns this song and it appears you have experienced the “Emma Phenomenon “ where her voice hits your very soul, awaking it and smothering it with love and contentment, and for some, this awe inspiring moment is so memorable that many are instantly forever fans of Emma. Though Emma flawlessly performed this song, she has since made minor changes that have made her performance even more powerful. Her spirituality impacts almost all who hear her. She is a world megastar and will become a living legend. God’s gift to the world!

Sounds like Edith Piaf has returned 💖

🤗🍒🌹😘 well done

I do not speak French, but I felt every word she sang.

The eight wonder of the world

Espetacular, incrível impossível não se emocionar...🇧🇷parabéns pelo react.

Thank you 2, for this sweet reaction! Emma is unique indeed, just as you said as well. And thankfull that i saw Emma on my 5th this year (2024) when she performed at the special concert of celebrating the freedom (the end of WorldWar2, 1945 on May 5th) And the King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima were also at that concert.

The song in french , it's about take me like what i am with my faults and my qualities . I beg you to honest and recongnize my life as i am . Voila in anglish is ( it's there) what i am . Thank you for your reaction you are not the only one who cry believe me .

y'all are great. New subscriber. I enjoyed seeing your genuine reactions to this song. I cannot imagine someone seeing the first, or the 1000th time I watched this video. Just kidding, but is your mom single? You are both classically beautiful ladies. ; )

"What is wrong with your top lip? Does it have an infection??????

I found this by your reaction to the magically stunning Emma Kok which i search and view anything i could find of her going back when she won Voice Kids, I than found Lara Fabian, by so many suggesting she's like a little Lara Fabian who later I found out that Lara Fabian is Dimash's Inspiration and to some degree his hero. How about a reaction to her, you can basically pick any song she does just be sure to watch her live in concert "From Lara with Love". She's arguably the greatest female artist not just singer ever, I personally would agree.

Not a soprane but a supreme, nice said mother.

Great reaction, ladies! I suggest you check out another great Dutch singer: Floor Jansen with her interpretation of Shallow (lady Gaga). You will certainly not regret it.

Lyrics in English Listen to me, me, the singer-to-be Tell your lovers, your friends about me Tell them about this girl with the black eyes and the crazy dream. What I want is to write stories that will reach you. That's all Voilà, voilà, voilà, that's who I am. This is me, even when I lie open I'm afraid, yes This is me in the noise and in the silence Look at me, or at least what's left of me Look at me before I hate myself What shall I tell you that another's lips will not tell you? It's little, but it's all I have; I put it there. That's it Voilà, voilà, voilà, this is who I am This is me me, even if I lie open, it is finished This is my face, this is my scream, this is who I am Voilà, voilà, voilà, it's right here Me, my dream, my desire, how I go to ruin, how I laugh at it That's me in the noise and in the silence. Don't go, I beg you, stay for a long time. It may not save me, no But to live without you, I don't know how to do it. Love me like you love a friend who's going away forever I want people to love me because I can't like my outline Voilà, voilà, voilà, this is who I am This is me, even when I lie open, it's over This is me in the noise and also in the rage Look at me, and in the end also my eyes and my hands All I have is here, it's my face, it's my screaming This is me me, this is me me Voilà Voilà Voilà, voilà Voilà

Watching Adele's live concert version of this song shows everybody what Angelina Is able to do with a good song 😍 ... say no more ...

What a huge audience, something like 12,000 people for this performance, and she was beyond beautiful. Imagine, singing a song in a language you don't speak, the phonetic memorization you would have to do, and then present yourself to all these people and absolutely kill it. She draws you in, such a lovely, lovely person. She has my heart, and certainly my prayers, for the resolution of her physical issues, hopefully in the very near future. Once you do read the words to Voila`, it's easy to see why this was such a poignant performance for her. We are blessed by having this young lady in our life...I hope she feels the love and it aids her determination in going forward with her singing career. Thank you ladies. My heart belongs to Angelina, but this lovely young lady is a welcome addition. What a magnificent individual!

you need to see Angelina jordan song all i ask , i love it

I must have watched this first version a hundred times it is now immortalised and can never ever be beaten. Watching her tour with Andre I now want her to slow down as some of her latest appearances have left me feeling a little concerned as she appears to be trying too hard.

Beautiful reaction ladies!!!...Thank you very much for finally react to this amazing young singer Emma!!!...She is wonderful😊😊!!

Her performance was as if a songbird transformed into human form.

Hello, nice reaction) Can you react to Dimash - The Story of One Sky (MV), please?))

You passed the test... I wouldn't trust anyone who watched this and didn't cry It is simply a breathtakingly beautiful performance by a little warrior princess

Be sure to check out her performances on The Voice Kids: ua-cam.com/video/20gXikNRjbo/v-deo.html
