Patrizia Ratto’s audition for America’s Got Talent in 2019 seemed unspectacular at first. The Italian pianist, shy and nervous, performed a simple rendition of Beethoven’s “Für Elise” that failed to impress the judges. However, Ratto surprised everyone by slowing down the tempo and introducing a hip-hop rhythm with electronics.
While playing the piano with one hand, he began moving his other hand in time, surprising Simon Cowell and the audience. Ratto then lowered his piano and jacket, beginning an energetic and robotic dance.
His incredible contortions and flexibility captivated the audience as he jumped and ducked with stunning agility. The show transformed from a simple piano concert into an unforgettable dance spectacle.
Patrizia Ratto’s audition has since been viewed over 9 million times on YouTube, proving that appearances can be deceiving and talent can come in unexpected forms.
