How many songs can honestly stop time? Not many. Yet the way Darci Lynne sat with her voice wrapped around the timeless words of “I’ll Be Seeing You” made it feel like the world had slowed down to listen. She admitted it is her favorite song of all time, and the choice could not feel more personal.
Her soft tone carried the weight of memory, the kind Billie Holiday once held. It was gentle but steady, the kind of sound that aches and heals at the same time. Darci’s words about Billie never failing show the respect she carries for legends, even while carving her own place through this moving piece.
If you asked me my favorite song of all time, it’s this. Billie never fails | Darci Lynne
The audience felt it instantly. One fan wrote that hearing her sing made them “tear up out of nowhere.” Another comment simply said, “Billie would be proud,” which might be the highest compliment you could give. Others just left rows of hearts, because sometimes words fall short when music hits so deep.
Moments like that set the stage for what came next. After leaning into the quiet ache of “I’ll Be Seeing You,” Darci switched gears completely and gave the spotlight to her feisty puppet, Petunia. What unfolded was pure theater, like moving from a hushed jazz club into the front row of Broadway.

Petunia, dressed in her signature flair, launched into “Popular” from Wicked with the sass and sparkle that only she could deliver. The song’s playful advice about style, charm, and winning people over made the crowd laugh as much as it amazed. Fans called it “hilarious” and “spot on Glinda,” proving Darci’s ventriloquism is just as sharp as her singing.
That is the magic of Darci Lynne. One moment she leaves you misty-eyed with an old jazz standard, the next she has you laughing out loud at a puppet belting Broadway. Few artists can balance tenderness and comedy so gracefully. Follow Darci Lynne on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, and keep watching where this remarkable journey takes her next.
