      Only talent/skill won't cut it. You need experience too. So, they must've done their act for a long time as well, or at least long enough for them to be confident on improvising on the spot.

      Exactly. It's just like comedy improv. Nobody is great at it right away. Well, except Robin Williams maybe. Mortals have to learn to be comfortable with the fear that comes with venturing into the unknown. @@joshuaamadeusishak1887

Although from the red leather pants and black vest and fedora hat I'm guessing it might've been from longer ago than that. Here's the link

    I was there in person at the auditions and it was incredible to see live! They also sang a second mash up, which was incredible and really showcased their talent because Lily picked a super weird song for that one. And yet they made it work beautifully with the other song that was chosen. It wasn't scripted, these guys truly did improvise.

      How did they choose songs that they knew all the words to?!
      Or did the judges choose the songs and the guys did really improvise it all, but they project the lyrics for them somewhere?
      I think it would be fair to do it that way and not make it obvious they had the lyrics.

      Yes, musicians, and especially people who are dueling pianos players have to have an absolute ton of things in their memory at instant recall, because they get requests all night long it's how they make their living. Just like you know certain things to do your job, they know tons of lyrics and songs because it's their job… And obviously these guys take their job very seriously! My husband and I are both musicians and recognize this kind of talent as the real deal. One of the comments I've read says one of the guys was a musical theater Director, at a school. So they've had a ton of exposure through different jobs to all of these songs. Quite genius and very entertaining. I would just like to hear the second song they did. Plus any others… They could go really far in a competition like this. And it would absolutely be an act one would want to go see while you were in Las Vegas or someplace else. Or catch them on a tour
