She sang in flawless Italian. Her lips never moved. And yes — the puppet was Simon Cowell.
July 2025 — Ventriloquism prodigy Darci Lynne just delivered one of her boldest, funniest, and most breathtaking performances to date, combining vocal mastery with pitch-perfect satire in a show that left audiences crying with laughter and awe.
Taking the stage with a brand-new puppet — a cheeky, dramatically over-the-top version of Simon Cowell himself — Darci launched into an unexpected Italian opera number, performed entirely without moving her lips.
“You can’t sing that with your mouth closed!” someone in the crowd whispered.
But Darci did. And she nailed it.
A Puppet That Judged… and Then Stole the Show
Dressed in a tiny black tee and high-waisted pants, the Simon puppet began with a snarky British intro, mocking past contestants in true Cowell fashion — before launching into soaring Italian arias that no one saw coming.
“Bravo! That’s what I call TALENT!” the puppet roared at himself after a particularly difficult vocal run.
The audience roared with him.
A Callback to Her Legendary Audition — With a Twist
The performance was a brilliant callback to the moment Darci stole America’s heart, but this time she raised the stakes: more range, more humor, and vocal precision that defied logic.
Fans were quick to react:
“She’s singing full opera… while roasting Simon Cowell… with her lips shut. That’s not talent — that’s sorcery.”
Social Media MELTS DOWN
Clips of the performance have gone instantly viral, with hashtags like #DarciDoesOpera, #SimonPuppet, and #QueenOfVentriloquism dominating feeds across TikTok, Instagram, and X.
Even the real Simon Cowell himself reportedly responded, tweeting:
“I’ve never looked — or sounded — better. BRAVO, Darci.”
A New Era for Darci Lynne?
With this dazzling display of vocal power and comedic timing, Darci has once again proved that she’s not just a ventriloquist — she’s a full-fledged, genre-bending entertainer.
