It was a stunning mix of comedy and emotional depth, demonstrating not only Darci’s vocal talent but also her ability to bring a deep emotional connection through her puppets. This stunning performance made Darci the new face of ventriloquism, with many fans and judges comparing her to Susan Boyle, another breakout star from *Britain’s Got Talent* known for her unexpected vocal power.
