Remember the 7- year old Ukrainian girl who went viral earlier this month for singing "Let it go" in a bomb shelter. Well she is now center stage as she sang the Ukrainian national anthem this weekend in front of thousands for a charity concert in Poland.

Amelia Anisovych who is now a refugee in Poland, she first came to light early march as she uplifted and inspired others with her voice as they were staying safe in a Kyiv Bomb Shelter

“Let it go, let it go. I am one with the wind and sky. Let it go, let it go, you’ll never see me cry. Here I stand and here I stay. Let the storm rage on,” she sang in her native language.

Her viral performance even caught the attention of Broadway star Idina Menzel, who sang and voiced the 2013 Disney film.

She tweeted: “We see you. We really, really see you.”

Her bomb shelter performance not only gained millions of views on the internet but it also got her an invitation to a charity concert to help the people of Ukraine.

On Sunday she wore a tritonal embraided Ukrainian dress and their national anthem at Atlas Arena in Poland. The "Together with Ukraine" event raised over 650,000 dollars to help those victims of the Russian Invasion.

Amelia is now a refugee in Poland with her grandmother and brother, her parents still remain in Ukraine.

“I practice singing every day in the morning, afternoon and evening. I rehearse, and that’s why it turned so well,” she told the BBC. “It has always been my dream to sing.”

Brava Amelia!!!
