While Emma is amazing, and she absolutely is, I wanna give a shoutout to Andre Rieu, the man that owns/pays/runs/directs that orchestra and giving Emma a spot to shine. His shows are sold out for like the next 6 years, so he's doing fine, but he gave her a stage to shine and the world benefits. She gets to sing what clearly her heart feels, he gets to add variety and help another youngster (he loves finding, developing and helping train talent) and we all get to witness that masterpiece. I understand why the vocals generally get most attention, but I just gotta give props to Andre.

I am a 40yr old metal head from Oklahoma. This song made me cry like a baby. The raw emotion in her voice just took over my emotions and I lost control. Music is so powerful.

One of the great things about this is the way Rieu follows her lead, he has his eyes on her for 99% of the performance. The singer is conducting the Conductor who is conducting the orchestra. Stunning👍👍

52 year old metal head from OH. I don't speak a word of French. The first time I heard the song I cried from about 30 seconds in until the song ended. I had no idea what the song said. I only knew I was hearing the voice of an angel. I looked up the translated lyrics and now, from word 1, the tears start. This young lady was a gift to us all. And this isn't even music I listen to. I have since looked up other performances. If you have not yet, I highly advise it. Bravo Emma!!!

Just some additional info to point out how incredibly brave this 15 years old Emma is: - Two foodpumps are connected - The pumps are with her 22/24 hours - She was bullied at school The audience (appr. 12.000 heads) is mainly Dutch, but also from Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and France. Part of the audience does speak French and knows exactly what Emma is singing. This makes it even more emotional. The lyrics in English: Listen to me Me, the wannabe singer Talk about me To your loves, to your friends Tell them about this girl with black eyes and her crazy dream Me, what I want is to write stories that reach you That’s all Here, here, here, here I am, Here I am even if stripped naked I am afraid, yes Here I am in the noise and in the silence Look at me, or at least what’s left Look at me, before I hate myself What to tell you, that another’s lips won’t tell you It’s not much but all that I have I drop it there, that’s it Here, here, here, here is who I am, Here I am even if stripped bare it’s over It’s my mouth, it’s my cry, here I am too bad Here, here, here, here I am my dream, my desire, like I’m dying, like I laugh at it Here I am in the noise and in the silence Don’t go, I’m begging you stay a long time, It may not save me, no But to do without you I don’t know how Love me as we love a friend who goes away forever I want us to love me because I don’t know how to like my outlines Here, there, here, here I am, Here I am even if exposed it is finished Here I am in the noise and in the fury too Look at me, finally, and my eyes and my hands All that I have is here, it’s my mouth, it’s my cry Here I am, here I am, here I am Here we are, here we are, here we are Here

Her family is visible at 22:43 in your video. The man in the blue blazer in the middle of the shot is her dad, left and right of him are her sister and brother. Her mom was on the side of the stage watching her daughter and helping her backstage. She had to be plugged into her feeding machine straight after this performance.

She owns the orchestra. At 15 years old. Every change is introduced by her without any musical support. The music follows. Astonishing

I was at Vriithof the first night they played there this year and I can say Emma simply blew us all away. There was a magical aura during her performance. And I'm just grateful that I had the opportunity to hear this masterpiece live.

One of the best reactions I have seen. BTW; Andre mentioned in an interview that the rehersals with the orchestra were very hard. Most musicians were very emotional every time

I'm a Brit who lived in NL for many years. The Dutch would say she has an 'old soul', a spiritual development beyond her years. And you hear and see that soul in her performance. I love it, and hope she will have everything from life that she wishes.

My younger brother installed a satellite system for my mother, she found André Rieu and then introduced his music to me, alas she never got the chance to go to a live concert of his, she passed away in 2003. Move forward to 2020 and a friend said he could get tickets to the concert in the Vrijthof in Maastricht so him, his girlfriend and my wife and myself went to see and hear André live. I can say I was blown away by the performance, I really had not expected how good the sound was live, but all I could think of was how much my mother would have loved to be there. Oh, my friend and his girlfriend got engaged at the concert :) Now in 2023, we got tickets to go again, and this tiny little slip of a girl just captured all our hearts with her voice, she got a well deserved standing ovation from all of us, such a big voice from a small frame.

I can't remember how many times I have watched the video of her, it must be far beyond 100 times. This masterpiece touches me with its unbelievable pain AND joy of life at the very same time, it is a constant change between emotional highs and lows, and it is so unbelievable that a 15 year old girl can delivery these waves of emotions so spectacularly!

My wife passed 2016 i had too much to drink and had a motorcycle accident that RIPPED my index finger off the surgeon was able to reattach it but it doesn't bend but about halfway that it use too. By the way I was a rock guitarists since the late 70s. I tried to play it one time and gave up and my guitar has been hanging on the rack for 6 years. Now watching Emma and her condition how she overcome such a horrible Disease to sing like a angel. I fill like a 6ft5 260lb crybaby. I'm getting new strings in the morning and polish the stratocaster and try again. Playing the since I was 12 years old was the only thing that fulfilled my soul. Well and beautiful flowers and Animals in need 😊

Her talent isn't about her gastroparesis. It is just a condition she has like other people that have it. I have had it since stomach surgery for reflux damaged my vagus nerve. I don't use a feeding tube and maybe one day she won't either. I eat normal food and have had the valve opening my stomach to my small intestine surgically opened so food passes through. It has its callenges but It is what it is. It isn't my life and it isn't hers. It has nothing to do with her ability or will to sing which she does amazingly well. I wish people would stop commenting on that, it makes people feel sorry for her and there is no need. I don't think she likes that. Let her singing be who she is and not the condition of her stomach

From the moment Emma gracefully bows to the audience, you know your seeing someone special.

The original is by Barbara Pravi and was the French entry for the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest. It came second but should have won. So many echos of Edith Piaf.

Here comes a tiny young lady, relatively unknown, her very first time before a huge crowd of 22555 people. A giant world famous conductor beside you and a world class orchestra behind you. There she is, a small black figure, hardly visible from the crowd. She takes her bow, starts to sing and literally commands the stage ! She just makes you transfixed, jaws dropped, and after leaves you in wonder of what you've just witnessed. She smiles, gives a hug, says 'thank you' in the cutest way and disappears. But André knows when an Artist deserves a second round of applause.

I like that the conductor barely ever takes his eyes off of her. She not only starts the orchestra, but I think she indirectly conducted the whole thing!! Amazing job Emma! And thank you E for the reactanalysis!

I stumbled upon Emma Kok's performance last night and was moved to tears. I do not understand any French. But her story and singing ability brought me to my knees. This ranks as one of the great moments in music in my life (I'm 71).

What is also amazing is that Emma does not speak French. She learned this song phonetically by listening to the original and with help of a French teacher. Of course she does understand the meaning of every word she is singing. I have read from French comments that she did a pretty good job at pronouncing French language. And she has a lovely Dutch accent :)
