This 12-Year-Old Ventriloquist’s Performance On “America’s Got Talent” Just Shook The World

It takes a lot to impress the judges on America’s Got Talent, but when 12-year-old Darci Lynne from Oklahoma City walked onto the stage with a pink-haired floppy-eared rabbit called Petunia recently, she managed to leave the entire audience speechless, and she did it without even opening her mouth. How? Because Darci is a ventriloquist, and Petunia is her puppet, and between the two of them they managed to pull off one of the most incredible renditions of “Summertime” from Porgy And Bess that anybody has ever heard. See for yourself in the video below. The performance was so good that Mel B gave it the golden buzzer, which automatically sent Darci and Petunia straight through to the live shows. We think this duo have a very bright future ahead of them!

Cute and awesome. Loved the look she and the rabbit shared at the start at the "Is the bunny real?" question.

I loved that she didn't break the bunny's character when they complimented the bunny ... the crying expresses humility ... she took a "minority" talent and turned it into an accomplishment ... that's a feat worthy of the praise she received ...

Terry Fator won Season 2 and Paul Zerdin won Season 10, both ventriloquists. Terry sang, I don't think Paul did. Darcy is amazing though!
