Born in Germany to Slovak parents, 13-year old Patricia Janečková performs Ennio Morricone's heavenly melody "Once Upon A Time In The West" during the Miss Reneta student beauty pageant in Havirov, Czech Republic on March 30, 2012. She died on October 1st in 2023.
Take a look at the contestants in the background who are perhaps not only mesmerized by the amazing performance of the beautiful young singer but some of them appear to be envious in the face of such talent and beauty combined. They have a flower in their hands while Patricia is the blossom that will become a non-withering flower for many decades to come.

At the time of writing (2016), Patricia is still only 17/18 and has become a singing sensation and a Slovak national icon. Born in Germany in 1998 she successfully made the difficult step from a Czecho-Slovak TV talent show (Talentmania) in 2010 to a promising international career. As opposed to other vocal phenomena like wunderkind Jackie Evancho from Pennsylvania, she has considerably developed her voice and vocal technique and is now an accomplished, acclaimed and much sought-after operatic soprano enchanting audiences around the world and flabbergasting critics and peers alike.
