Amira Willighagen, phenomenal winner of Holland’s Got Talent, has got a record deal. She announced it on breakfast radio.

The broadcast includes an unauthorised Nessun Dorma dub-over duet with Luciano Pavarotti. Listen here.

And O Mio Babbino Caro, of course.

The album was recorded in England on Simon Cowell’s Syco label for Sony Music Entertainment. It will be out March 28 and is called “Amira”. The child star will tour South Africa in a fortnight and play Las Vegas in May.

 

UPDATE: Strong reaction from the Pavarotti estate.
