Darci’s friend Petunia is a small puppet, but has a huge attitude problem. She wants all the spotlight on her every time! And, this is precisely what happened when Petunia and Draci sang the song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” together.
Darci started singing, with Petunia following her verses. That is when Draci showed off her ventriloquism skills, but with a twist. What was it? Petunia didn’t like that she wasn’t the one who STARTED singing. This skit of hers showcases her immense talent and the sassy relationship she shares with both of them.

Fans who watched it loved it. One viewer said Darci is their “favorite contestant of AGT all time.” Another person wrote that both Darci and Petunia have such “beautiful voices” that they could easily sing on their own.
This comfortable duet today makes it easy to forget how shy Darci used to be without Petunia. Her career began with a secret dream to keep the old art of ventriloquism alive for a new generation. She started performing only because she desperately wanted to fight her shyness in front of large crowds.
