Amelia Uzun

8 Year Old Amelia Uzun Sings Breathtaking Version Of O Sole Mio. O Sole Mio is a profoundly powerful song that has been recorded many times since itwas written in 1898. Pavarotti’s version is legendary, so it seems incredible that itcould be rivalled by an eight-year-old girl! However, Amelia Uzun has managed to dojust that. Amelia is from Moldova and initially became famous performing onRomania’s Got Talent with her mother, Ana Cernicova. They came 5th but receivedrave reviews for their performances. Even before their elimination, Ana began postingvideos of Amelia performing famous songs on her YouTube Channel.

The videos have proved very popular due to Amelia’s wonderful voice and the fact thatshe looks like an angel. She has a beautiful smile and eyes that sparkle. Herperformance of O Sole Mio has been the most popular video by far.

This could be because it’s such an unusual song choice for a young girl and alsobecause she has such obvious star quality. At the start of the video, she is sitting with aTV presenter and her mum. Her song is introduced, and she walks confi dently to thestage, grinning at the camera. She looks beautifully turned out in a white and greendress. The microphone almost looks too big for her, but she sings with such skill andobvious happiness you’ll fi nd yourself grinning as you watch it.

Amelia sways to the music and moves her arms to emphasise the music as she sings. She holds some notes for an impressive length of time, considering what small lungs she must have. She also injects a huge amount of passion into her singing, and it’s clear that she loves the chance to perform on tv. There is no trace of nerves at singing such a famous song on tv. During the whole song, Amelia’s star quality shines through; she seems born to perform.

It’s no wonder this video has 5.5 million views on YouTube, and the comments sectionis fl ooded with praise. One commenter expresses it perfectly: “I do believe that is thevery best rendition of O Sole Mio I’ve ever heard!! Most seem to think loud is better.This little one sings it perfectly and peaceably, as well as clearly enunciating everyword. How refreshing and lovely!”

So far, Amelia does not appear to be touring or spreading her fame outside of Europe,but with such talent let’s wish all the success in the world to this amazing little girl. Ifyou want to see more from this talented young singer you can see more on hermother’s
