The moment she finished, the stunned silence was quickly followed by an explosion of applause. Not only did she win that round, but she eventually took home the winner\u2019s title for the entire competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes Amira\u2019s performance even more astonishing is the contrast between her mature, operatic voice and her youthful innocence.
