Darci Lynne’s heartfelt “At Last” duet with Petunia is so powerful, even the biggest Etta James fans are calling it one of the best covers ever

For longtime fans of Darci Lynne, what you are about to watch is just another example of her unreal talent.

For people unfamiliar with Lynne’s work and past performances on America’s Got Talent, well, prepare to pick your jaw up from off the floor. You’ve been warned. The winner of Season 12 is unlike any performer you’ve ever seen.

Lynne is a vocalist with a range that can easily compete with the very best of the participants of The Voice — but what sets her apart from other singers is her act. She’s a ventriloquist. In a performance that must be seen to be believed, Lynne took to social media earlier in May to undertake a singing challenge between herself and her puppet friend, Petunia, singing the Etta James classic “At Last.”

Watch the earth-shattering performance further down this article!

As far as we’re concerned, both performances (by human and puppet alike) were incredible, and the only true “winner” is anyone who has watched this YouTube video. As we’ve reported before, Lynne calls the late Etta James one of her inspirations, and she isn’t shy about covering some of her most-revered songs.

(For what it’s worth, this is exactly the type of out-of-the-box performance that happens on every episode of AGT. If you’re not tuning in every week on NBC to experience some of the most unbelievable talents in the world, what are you waiting for?
