Israeli sisters Tali and Emily Kuper are no strangers to the limelight.
A quick YouTube search of their names reveals a myriad of performances. From live shows and music videos to singing competitions— these girls have done it all.
According to a biography posted on Star Burst Forumotion, Tali, the younger sister, started singing at festivals and competitions at a very young age. Although she often performs solo, occasionally she and her sister Emily collaborate on duets.
Tali, in particular, is very popular around Israel and surrounding European areas.
Her performances in talent competitions like The Voice Kids Ukraine and The Voice Kids Russia have helped her gain notoriety.
Most recently, however, a viral performance on the Israel’s Got Talent stage has been leading the girls to international superstardom.
Walking onto the giant stage sporting synchronized poodle-skirt outfits, the sisters are a sign to behold. With pristine sneakers and curled hair pulled back by matching bows, no one was quite expecting their “hip-popping” performance.
For the audition, the girls’ have prepared a unique version of “All About That Bass”, a song by Meghan Trainor.
The song was Trainor’s debut single aimed at promoting body positivity. Although the lyrics inspired controversy, the song became the best-selling song of 2014 and one of the best-selling singles of all time. The girls’ version is more laid back and relaxed than Trainor’s original, and their perfect harmonies truly give it a sound of its own.
When the song begins, the sisters pop their hips and snap their fingers while standing with their backs together.
“Because you know I’m all about the bass, ’bout the bass, ’bout the bass, no treble,” they sing in unison.
Tali’s voice is younger while Emily’s is richer and more mature.
But together, the two form perfect harmonies that immediately leave the judges in disbelief.
As the girls continue their catchy performance, the camera pans across the audience, showing spectators cheering and dancing in their seats. At one point, even the judges can’t hold back from joining in on the catchy tune.
At certain points in the performance, the girls stun everyone by hitting seemingly impossible notes.
By the time the song is finished, the judges have made up their minds.
Since being uploaded to YouTube, the girls’ stunning performance has been viewed over a million times.
Although there isn’t any doubt about their skills, some viewers have criticized the sisters, saying they’re too skinny to be singing a song about plus-sized confidence: “How a super skinny girl sing all about the bass? that’s so silly,” one viewer wrote, echoing the comments of many.
Despite the irony of their song choice, most people have made comments full of praise:
“Who tf cares what they look like. Not being fat enough to sing a song is seriously the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all day.”
“Forget the song choice. The irony is not that important. Focus on the incredible control and talent. As a singer, I can see they achieved something very difficult seemingly effortlessly.”
“Goodness those girls have absolutely KILLER voices. I hope they stay with music and move to great things in life.”
