Sisters Capture Everyone's Heart Instant They Start Stunning Duet

Sisters share a very special bond, and it's especially heartwarming to see sisters who do things together. Two sisters from the Ukraine, 16-year-old Victoria Petryk and 11-year-old Anastasiya Petryk share a love of singing, and together they sang a very special duet. Performing at Mikhail Voronin's Memory Dinner in Kiev in 2013, the sisters sang a cover of Badfinger's Without You, made popular by Mariah Carey, who sang her own rendition in 1994. Not only is the sentiment of two sisters singing the song absolutely touching, but their incredible voices impressed not only the room but viewers worldwide, thanks to this video of their performance.

In the video, the girls take to the stage in matching white A-line dresses, both wearing their extra long blonde hair down to the side. They already look beautiful and angelic, and the difference in their height makes for an interesting entrance as it is. 

Victoria, the elder sister, begins singing first as her younger sister Anastasiya stands behind her. Immediately when she begins, it's clear she is talented vocally, as she changes from the opening lower tones to the higher notes as the verse progresses.

What's adorable is that Anastasiya, who is awaiting her turn to begin singing, can be seen mouthing along silently to her sister's verse while standing behind her! It's very sweet knowing how young she is, and somehow reminiscent of how young girls look up to their older sisters and follow them in their interests.

But soon enough, Anastasiya walks up next to Victoria and begins singing the following verse, and it's incredible to hear the voice that this tiny girl has! Victoria places a sisterly hand on Anastasiya's shoulder as she listens to her younger sister sing, and it's very moving.

For the song's chorus, both girls sing together and soon turn to face each other. This brings extra meaning to the song's lyrics: "I can't live, if living is without you." While the song is understood to be about lovers, here it takes on the meaning of sisterly love, both in the lyrics and in the performance, and it's truly beautiful to witness. The Petryk girls finish the song holding hands and the audience, obviously enamoured, begin to clap loudly. 

Written by members of the British rock group Badfinger and released in 1970, Without You has been described as a power ballad, and is well known for bringing about a strong emotional response. It's been covered multiple times, the most famous of which are Harry Nilsson's folk-inflected version from 1971 and Mariah Carey's soulful 1994 rendition.

The sisters are no strangers to the stage –– both have competed at the Junior Eurovision contest, with Anastasiya winning it in Amsterdam in 2012. Meanwhile, Victoria competed in the TV show Ukraine's Got Talent. While appearing on the show, the judges asked Anastasiya to join her onstage, where the sister's performed another duet, this time of I Love Rock 'n' Roll, where they reached the semi-finals.
