Darci Lynne Farmer isn’t resting on her laurels. The ventriloquist and powerful singer, who first wowed the world when she was 12 years old on America’s Got Talent, recently showed off a jazz classic “Summertime.” On Feb. 12, Lynne returned to the song that earned her a Golden Buzzer during her AGT competition, but this time she took it to the next level.
The video starts with Lynne having a hard time adjusting to the new format. Her voice, fuller and smoother than ever flows easily with the music. She switches between singing with her mouth open and closed, reminding us of her ventriloquist skills, almost saying, “Look at how much I’ve grown.” With every snap of her fingers, she brings fresh energy to the song, making it feel like a jazz classic. Then, in a touching moment, she turns around, showing real emotion, knowing she had just put on a performance his fans would always remember.

“People really remember this from the beginning,” Lynne captioned the video, giving a heartfelt tribute to the audience who had followed her journey from the AGT ailing to now. Later, she and her puppet Petunia melted hearts and earned a place in showbiz history.
The title track of Summer is a testament to this story. In 2011, George Gershwin wrote the song for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess, and it transcended its original context to become a jazz standard beloved by a generation. It was loved by legends like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, allowing artists to explore their own interpretations. And Lynne’s style It’s a testament to the power of the song, and its adaptation to a new era through its performance style.
