Darci Lynne can do it all!
When the America’s Got Talent Season 12 winner returned to the AGT stage during the Season 1 finale of AGT: The Champions in 2020, she left audiences in awe…again! How? She used her signature ventriloquism act to sing a jaw-dropping rendition of the Italian opera tune “O Mio Babbino Caro”—with her mouth totally closed, of course.
“Oh my carrots. Look at all these people! Hey, all of you up there! Can you hear me?” Lynne’s “lucky charm” puppet Petunia said before making an impressive echoing sound.
“That’s amazing,” Judge Simon Cowell approved.
Lynne and Petunia then launched into the most angelic rendition of the song, nailing every single high operatic note.
Naturally, they both got a standing ovation from all four Judges.
Cowell described it as Lynne’s “best-ever performance” in the AGT universe. “It’s hard enough at your age to sing opera, but you’re doing it through a rabbit,” he said.
“Your delivery and your confidence; you are self-taught and you worked so hard to get this far. You deserve everything and much, much more,” Mel B. gushed.
“It was truly amazing, because we didn’t know you sing opera. You’ve gone through a whole season of AGT, and you still surprise,” Howie Mandel said.
