She Poured Out a Whirlwind of Yodeling That Was Precise and Quick, With Each Note Rising Higher and Faster While Defying Logic. Then, With Her Lips Never Parting and the Sound Flowing as Though From an Invisible Force, She Achieved the Impossible—Hitting the Soaring Peak. She Had Transformed a Nearly Impossible Feat Into a Breathtaking Marvel at the Age of Eleven, Leaving the Audience in Complete Awe.
Darci Lynne Farmer is a one-woman talent show. The America’s Got Talent Season 12 winner, who at just 12 years old blew the Judges away with her ventriloquism and singing skills, can also yodel. Technically, her puppet Katie does the yodeling, but it’s still very cool. Watch the video further down to see her show off her skills.
In a performance dated to October 16, 2015, just days after Farmer turned 11 (!!!) years old, she sings a song called “Katie the Yodeling Cowgirl.” Alongside her puppet, Katie, Lynne belts a yodeling tune, without moving her mouth at all.
Which would be impressive enough, but it’s the second half of the song that really goes crazy. Lynne, with her mouth still closed, yodels faster and faster before hitting and holding a high note. It’s almost unbelievable, and the song is super catchy.
Watch her performance below.
This performance was recorded about a year before Lynne began her America’s Got Talent journey. Oklahoma native Darci still brings Katie out during her shows; they had a duet in January 2024.
Over the years, the singer has been inspired to try out lots of different singing styles, and she’s proven herself adept at all of them. She can sing Etta James just as well as she belts out “Hallelujah.” These 13 excellent covers are just a sampling of what she can do.
Lynne is also a master of regional accents, all of which she can do…with her mouth closed
