This was the 1944 Americas Got Talent performance for them. It really get wild after 1 min mark.

Love the vid. Rep points to you.

Thank you for the rep. You know it's real because the technology to fake it did not exist back then.

But the technology exists now to make something look like it happened in 1944. I didn't have time to look around; is there independent evidence saying it was actually filmed in 1944? The answer to this could change our perceptions, certainly.

I'm no cinematographer, but to me the film quality looks way too polished, even for something reissued in HD. So I'm skeptical

My "in-laws" all are/were dancers and cirque du soleil type performers and Ive seen vids of them doing stuff similar to this. These girls are awesome even if it were filmed just last week.

Looks like it's for real: Ross Sisters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(and yes, I know someone can create a fake Wikipedia page--but the sources are legit)
