Audience Becomes Choir
This performance from AGT snagged my attention, in which the contestant turns the audience into a choir.
1) Some people with Bardic gift can share theirs with other people; it's rare but I've known people who could do it. That's likely part of this.
2) Some people have a gift for conveying abstract ideas visually, which is rare enough, but doing it intuitively like that is really rare and impressive. Musical scores are precise but take a lot of training to read, especially sight-read without practice. Creating a visual representation of a song in three voices (high, middle, low) with indications of pitch and duration -- which works well as demonstrated -- is epic.
Business world: "Dammit, I wish we had someone that good with visuals to do whiteboard notes for our meetings."
Music world: "We saw her first."
