Olena Uutai walked onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage in a traditional costume and introduced herself very simply. She said she came from the Sakha Republic, in the northeast of Russia. When the judges asked why she auditioned, she said she wanted to share her culture with the whole world.
The judges did not ask what she was going to do. They just wished her luck, and that made the surprise even bigger 😮.
With nothing more than a small jaw harp and her own voice, Olena filled the theater with sounds that nobody expected. There were echoes of wind and wild nature, and at times it sounded exactly like horses galloping and neighing. The audience laughed, gasped and then cheered.
One judge admitted they had no idea what that was, but called it amazing. Another judge said she absolutely loved her and called her otherworldly, as if she had come from outer space or from the heavens. Another judge said you would not expect it to be entertaining, but it was brilliantly entertaining. David kicked off the vote with a big yes, and Olena left with four golden yeses 🔥.
