Instead, fans saw Oscar in action, who didn\u2019t pass up the opportunity to\u00a0sing a duet\u00a0with Lynne. The pair belted out the Etta James classic \u201cSomething\u2019s Got a Hold on Me\u201d that will absolutely floor you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho else missed Oscar?\u201d Lynne captioned. (Uh-oh, this might make Petunia jealous.)<\/p>\n<p>As usual, it\u2019s something special whenever Lynne opens her mouth to sing. But as every fan knows by now, it\u2019s when Lynne\u00a0<em>doesn\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0open her mouth that the 19-year-old truly shines! The way she hits those high notes and floats through\u00a0her impressive range\u00a0while barely moving her lips never fails to put our jaws on the floor. She also\u00a0blew viewers away\u00a0when she covered the song on\u00a0<em>The Kelly Clarkson Show<\/em>\u00a0back 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\u00a0<em>AGT<\/em>\u00a0audition many years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-code-other\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"processed instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C_-6v3qu_B5\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1080&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbc.com&amp;rp=%2Fnbc-insider%2Fdarci-lynne-etta-james-somethings-got-a-hold-on-me-cover#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2959.7000000001863%2C%22ls%22%3A2547.399999999441%2C%22le%22%3A2841.2999999998137%7D\" height=\"971\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-origwidth=\"\" data-origheight=\"971\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>While puppets have always been part of Lynne\u2019s utterly unique ventriloquist Act on the\u00a0<em>AGT\u00a0<\/em>stage and off, in a 2024 interview with\u00a0<em>Parade<\/em>, 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.
