‘Spain's Got Talent' Hopeful Nails AC/DC's ‘Highway To Hell' In Opera Form

This AC/DC Opera Cover Will Shake You All Night Long

If you’ve been down in the dumps over the news that AC/DC vocalist, Brian Johnson has been ordered to quit touring, behold a cover of “Highway to Hell” sure to make you smile.

Cristina Ramos, a contestant on “Spain’s Got Talent”, performed the iconic Aussie hit last week during an audition on the show which has since gone viral.

Ramos started the performance by showing off her operatic ability, before completely rocking out and ripping off her dress to reveal a far more suitably rockstar outfit, as the famous guitar riff dropped and her vocals belted out.

With more than 3 million YouTube views, rockers everywhere are saluting the young woman the only way they know how: a virtual horns up.

A statement from AC/DC revealed earlier this month that a doctor had ordered Johnson to stop touring or risk hearing loss, resulting in their U.S. tour being postponed.

The band said the shows would be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist.

It’s not yet known whether Ramos used her audition to nudge the band that she is in fact available as a stand-in (clever), but all we can say is, you crushed it girl.
