And even though we\u2019ve seen her time and time again masterfully belt tunes with her mouth closed, she still can surprise us. Exhibit A: Her appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show a few years back, in which she performed Etta James\u2019 \u201cSomething\u2019s Got a Hold on Me\u201d without moving her lips.<\/p>\n<p>Etta James is one of the greatest singers who\u2019s ever lived, so for Lynne to be able to do her justice, mouth closed, is nothing short of superhuman. But don\u2019t take our word for it: Watch Lynne\u2019s tight-lipped take on \u201cSomething\u2019s Got a Hold on Me\u201d here.

I\u2019ve done three different tours, shows, over the last seven years since I won, so it\u2019s been an incredible ride so far. I\u2019ve gotten to do amazing, amazing things. I\u2019ve reached so many people with this out-of-the-box talent, it\u2019s been amazing.
