The way she hits those high notes and floats through her impressive range while barely moving her lips never fails to put our jaws on the floor. She also blew viewers away when she covered the song on The Kelly Clarkson Show back in the day.<\/p>\n<p>The banter between Lynne and Oscar harkened back to Lynne\u2019s unforgettable repartee with her puppet during her viral AGT audition many years ago.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28325 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/newsflash24h.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/darci-lynne-oscar-somethings-got-a-hold-on-me-etta-james-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsflash24h.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/darci-lynne-oscar-somethings-got-a-hold-on-me-etta-james-1.jpg 813w, https:\/\/newsflash24h.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/darci-lynne-oscar-somethings-got-a-hold-on-me-etta-james-1-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsflash24h.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/darci-lynne-oscar-somethings-got-a-hold-on-me-etta-james-1-768x415.jpg 768w\" alt=\"\" width=\"813\" height=\"439\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While puppets have always been part of Lynne\u2019s utterly unique ventriloquist Act on the AGT stage and off, in a 2024 interview with Parade, she stressed the importance of the puppets evolving \u2014 and maturing \u2014 alongside her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe puppets have grown up with me I guess you could say, but not in any crude way,\u201d she explained. \u201cMy demographic and the people that follow me, it\u2019s super multi-generational and I love that, especially kids, too.
