Sorry if I'm late to the show, but my mom sent me this.
Absolutely, unbelievably, freakin' incredible.

I'm half Ukrainian, so this really hit home.

Sand Animation, Ukraine's Got Talent

I love the orchestral Metallica.

I expected to be unimpressed as I always am with "incredible" things on YouTube, but that was amazing. My heart grew three sizes.

And according to Wikipedia, this woman had less than a year's experience at sand painting when she did that performance. How on earth does Ukraine's Got Talent manage to find somebody like this when America's Got Talent can't even find anybody I don't want to punch in the throat?

I 2nd this... but I think the real answer is that the network would NEVER show anything that would make the audience cry... most americans hate to actually deal with any emotions besides enjoyment...

Oh my God! That was so incredible, so moving, and so elegantly beautiful. Not speaking the language is a minimal thing-I'd like to have understood the lyrics, but that in no way lessened the impact or beauty of the performance.

Not exactly true. How about three children who sing extremely beautifully, performing to make their mother (who was critically injured by a drunk driver) proud of them. And help pay for her medical care too. Not a dry eye in the place.

But in general, you're right-if it ain't fun, most US TV doesn't show it. Unless it's yucky, disturbing, or outrageous, of course.

Unexpectedly brilliant. The thread title prepared me for the worst. What’s she write at the end? I read it as “Мы всиба рядои”, but according to Google Translate, that doesn’t really mean anything (apart from “We Esib ryadoi”, which is, well, nonsense).

How many beers does it take until tits jiggle.....uhhh....explosions!!!!

Back on topic, that video is amazing. It's almost trance inducing the way she paints with sand so effortlessly. Really quite beautiful.

Googling around, it appears to have been "Ты всегда рядом", with the gist being something like "You are always with us." (Google Translate fails to provide this translation or even one that makes sense as an English sentence, but I assume it's an idiom that Google just hasn't learned yet. Lots of forums have translations along those lines.)

That is a good translation of it; no idiom.

I just figured it must be some kind of idiom because Google Translate gives "You are always a number of."

Do you speak Ukrainian?

Russian, to a decent degree. Ukrainian is close enough in the simple stuff that I can make sense of it. Beyond that the intonations, words and letters get too weird to keep up, even for many native Russians.

"Number...of" isn't right but "You are always with us" is a good one. The three words are literally You always beside/next. Ukrainian, like Russian, doesn't conjugate "to be" in the present tense (many other languages do this too, like Arabic and Hebrew).
