An absolute must-see- Darci Lynne’s jaw-dropping rendition of Etta James’ classic- delivered with her mouth closed- had Kelly Clarkson completely stunned! With every note, Darci showcased her superhuman talent, leaving Kelly wide-eyed in disbelief and the audience absolutely mesmerized

Fans know Darci Lynne best as a singing ventriloquist who first captured the world’s attention on AGT. And even though we’ve 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’ “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” without moving her lips.

Etta James is one of the greatest singers who’s ever lived, so for Lynne to be able to do her justice, mouth closed, is nothing short of superhuman. But don’t take our word for it: Watch Lynne’s tight-lipped take on “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” here. (Start around the 5-minute mark on the video.)
