  This song is so intense, it seems as if its about a complicated relationship and uncertainty. HOWEVER, the lyrics mean whatever they mean at the time. You all rock. You are not alone.

  How Emma takes a five minute song and turns it in to a work of art. She is a gift to the world.

  She is not in pain when she sings, she is in love.

  First-class, that arm swing at the end told me she knew she hit the sweet spot & a homerun for all who watch. Thanks, from the Florida Keys.

  I 'm pretty sure that was a flawless performance by an extraordinarily talented young woman. I think the world will be hearing from Emma Kok in the future. Did you notice the confident, self-satisfied smile at the end of the performance. Despite her physical disability, I think Emma is going places.

  Such a wonderful song, from such an inspiring young woman.  That made me tear up, and I'm not a cryer.  And, what you said, Bruce, about how lucky we are to live in a time where we have the opportunity to be exposed to such wonderful music from all over the world is something I have thought often.  I am so glad we get the opportunity to be a part of this joy.

  To start YOU did a wonderful reaction about Emma. The orchestra is the world famous Johan Strauss orchestra with André Rieu as conductor. It is the world&apos;s largest private orchestra, and has been performing all over the world for over 20 years. From Australia to the United States, all over Europe and South America. So this is not just any orchestra. André Rieu gives about 10 concerts every year in his hometown in July in Maastricht, the Netherlands, on the Vrijrhof square.<br>This was also the case this year, with Emma performing as a guest singer. The song Voila was France&apos;s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 by Barbara Pravi. She then came 2nd with it. In fact, the text is about being recognized, and above all being able to be yourself. LOOK AT ME. LOVE ME AS I AM. The text therefore also fits one to one on Emma. introduction part: is She has already been through a lot in her young years.Every day she is tube fed 22 of the 24 hours a day. She is disconnected during performances. Her illness has also caused growth failure. Emma is a real fighter.Emma became the target of bullying at school and beyond. &quot;Living gnome, she was called. And because of the walker with the pumps yo feed her, they also called her grandma. She was excluded and there was constant gossip about her behind her back.&quot; So she has had to overcome a lot in her young life. Partly because of this, there are also frequent visits to a psychologist to deal with her bullying history. And especially to learn to accept that her illness is part of her and will not go away. If it occurs, she is disconnected from her nutritional pumps and she feels truly free. So, as already mentioned, she has already been through a lot in her young life, which is reflected in her performances. She does not sing songs that mean nothing to her, and consciously wants to show her vulnerable side.&quot;

  I gotta get control. But I cry my eyes out every time I &nbsp;hear her sing. The words are so powerful. Stunning voice.

  Singers go their entire lives striving to reach this level of perfection even just once. The vast majority fail. Emma is 15 and has several equally intense performances.<br><br>Indeed this song was originally performed by Barbara Pravi... and quite frankly was nothing special until Emma got ahold of it and made it hers. Props to Andre Rieu and the Johan Strauss Orchestra for their equally stunning support. Notice how Maestro Rieu takes his lead from her? This is an acknowledgement of her incredible talent. It&apos;s almost an insult to use words so pique as amazing and incredible.
