Opera singer begins aria on "Spain's Got Talent," abruptly rips into AC/DC's "Highway To Hell"

Last edited Sat Mar 19, 2016, 07:07 PM - Edit history (1)

This might be the single greatest video I've seen in 2016. Opera singer Cristina Ramos begins her audition with an aria and the abruptly rips into a version of AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" that slays the audience, and the judges. One judge pushed the 'golden buzzer,' meaning Ramos bypasses the next round of auditions and goes directly through to the live shows.
