FRECKLED  SKY

Spending time on the internet, I came across this video. It may be a little bit long for you, but BELIEVE ME, it is worth watching.

 

This video was from a famous TV program “America´s Got Talent” in which people auditioned to win the final prize.

At the beginning of this video you could see two dancers telling us what they do. They seemed to be ordinary people, with no makeup at all, no hairstyle and no gleaming outfit to admire.

When I watched the first three seconds of the videos I said: “ok, this will be the typical performance of classical music”. But Olga, the female dancer, anticipated that their style was something out of the normal because it incorporated different elements. Then, they presented their couch. Well, I must admit that after looking at his face I didn´t have many expectations on the couple. Anyway, the couch insisted that it was his dream and that he sold everything he had to make that show, so I thought “I will give this video a chance, I will look at it completely”. The dancers introduced themselves to the judges of the casting and they promised it was going to be something different. At this stage, I was curious.

Suddenly, they started dancing and I didn´t know if what I was looking at was real or not. Were they really there? Wasn´t it a screen which displayed the images?. No! They were there dancing with water and splendid visual effects. While they were dancing, we could see the judges were taken aback with the performance. The couple surprised them so much so that Howard Stern, (who is an American radio and television personality, producer, author, actor, and photographer) hit the “Golden Buzzer”; this particular device gave the judges the chance to send one act, and one act only, each automatically through to the live semi-finals. “It is the kind of thing I´m looking for, you are absolutely different” said Howard at the end of the performance.

To go a little bit deeper into the video, I would like to say the reasons of having chosen it. First of all, I love art, any kind of art, it doesn´t matter whether it is music, painting, dancing, etc. I enjoy watching talented people doing what they know. Secondly, I consider that their art extends beyond the boundaries of people´s imagination; I have never watched something like that and I consider they deserved being rewarded in that way. Last but not least, I choose this video because I appreciate the fact that this kind of TV programmes give talented people the opportunity of showing to the world their talent.  As Olga anticipated at the beginning of the video, it is something different and I would be that kind of people who would pay to see them on stage.

When I finished the video I realized how wrong I was. Though simple, they did an amazing performance and this leads me to a conclusion: sometimes less is more.
