Just one year before capturing the hearts of millions on America’s Got Talent Season 12, an 11-year-old Darci Lynne took the stage at the Cinderella International Pageant—giving audiences an early glimpse of the talent that would make her a star.
With her beloved puppet Petunia by her side, Lynne tackled Kristin Chenoweth’s “The Girl in 14G,” seamlessly trading parts throughout the intricate song. Petunia handled the contemporary sections, while Lynne pushed her ventriloquist skills to the limit—delivering every note without moving her lips. Then, just when the audience thought they had seen it all, she stunned them with her flawless, opera-like vocals, proving she was destined for greatness.
