VIDEO: This Girl’s Talent Puts Famous Performer to His Knees

True talent is instantly recognizable, and this 12-year-old girl from Holland makes no exception. The girl sings as if she had received years and years of classical training, singing as beautifully and expressively as any soprano. Her amazing talent even brought her on stage alongside famous performers such as Neapolitan-Austrian singer Patrizio Buanne, who fell to his knees when he heard her sing.

According to Wikipedia, Patrizio Buanne is a Neapolitan-Austrian baritone singer, songwriter, and producer. He began participating in talent contests at age 11. Several small musical productions and gigs with his self-formed rock and roll band and as a solo performer followed. When he was 17, a music industry manager proposed a performance on the occasion of the Papal visit in Wroclaw, Poland. The song, which was half in Italian and half in Polish, had been written for the opening mass, and with 85,000 people in attendance, the exposure led to his first record named Angelo di Dio in 1997. At age 19, Buanne graduated from school in Vienna and moved to Naples. He attended university to study languages while looking for opportunities in the entertainment industry also in Rome. He was a guest and entertainer on Italian television shows such as Momenti di Gloria, Domenica In and Libero. This led to a contract with the production company that produced shows for RAI and Mediaset. Due to the limited offered opportunities, Buanne started to shape his own ideas and concepts.

In 2004, Buanne approached a producer with the idea of recording a collection of romantic Italian songs with an orchestra. This led to his international debut album, The Italian, which was finished in London at the Abbey Road Studios with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Released in February 2005, it reached the top ten on the pop charts in the United Kingdom. The album was certified gold in the UK, Austria and Finland, platinum in New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan, double platinum in South Africa and even triple platinum in Australia.

Following The Italian’s international release, Buanne performed two major tours in 2006, including a six-week tour of theaters and concert venues in Australia, Asia, South Africa and Europe.

His live concert DVD was broadcast on the American public television network PBS, which led to his first US tour.

In October 2006, Buanne was invited by Dr. A. Kenneth Ciongoli, the chairman of the National Italian American Foundation, to perform at their annual gala in Washington, D.C. where he met the President of the United States.

Buanne’s second album, Forever Begins Tonight, reached No. 15 in the UK and No. 7 on the US Billboard World Albums Chart. The album included an Italian version of the Robbie Williams’s song “Angels” (entitled “Un Angelo”).

In 2011, he released his first Afrikaans-language album Dankie-Suid Afrika, and 2012 his first German-language album, Wunderbar both certified with great success.

He has recorded in English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Afrikaans, Japanese, and Chinese.
