You are great at both endeavors! Do what makes YOU happy!

[@mamawfrancy]

Darci, If you read comments.. i think singing is the way to go. Seriously you don't need anyone else's approval to do whatever makes you happiest. I think you're an absolute sweetheart.

[@sajinjoshi4412]

👏🏻

[@MasterG2361]

We love you Darci, Go whichever direction you please, it's your life. Please stay close to your puppets. Lots of people can sing, Lots of people can write songs, Very few people can bring the magic to ventrilloquism that you can. That makes you unique. Few people in the world have the talent you do. Your talents bring happiness to people. And that is a gift. God Bless

[@maratb5291]

Well said, and echoes my thoughts. She's an excellent singer, but singers are, yeah whatever. Her ventriloquism is her uniqueness, especially when she includes the puppets.

[@jose_fr78]

Darci, please continue exploring all the possible ways of expressing your talents. You're a good ventriloquist, singer, comedian, and actress. You can do all those art forms. And as a singer, you can play any style of music, and keep this diversity to avoid being put into a box. Love 💕💕 and kisses 🥰🥰 for you, from José, from France 🇲🇫

[@r.c.brousseau9655]

Smart, talented, young and a wonderful personality. Darci Lynne has it all!, and it doesn’t hurt that she is pretty too!

[@disabldfirefiter]

And stay close to your family, and the values you've learned throughout your young life. You are great!

[@Notfiveo0]

I remember her first audition on AGT. Boy do I feel old.

[@ronaldsmith1282]

Your original music is phenomenal Darci don’t change your thing

[@patkeleher7704]

Please don't stop doing ventriloquism you are so great and it's a lost art.

[@michellehenderson8207]

I just want her to be happy in doing whatever she chooses... That may giving up her puppets. She has to do HER passion.

[@Shasha8674]

People want to grow in more than one direction....then not bored. Keep growing/learning new things and enjoy all your talents.

[@rhinely850]

The first time I heard her sing, I thought she should stop the ventriloquist act and just sing! Fabulous voice, plus such a beauty. Top talent.

[@MrOGREATWISEONE]

It was great to see you on TV here in Australia Darci, you were so good at being a ventriloquist. 🤗 🐨 🦘🦘

[@wendyo2707]

THE EAGLES? I saw them live in San Diego 1967…It was my 15th birthday…I got to go to quite a few in those yrs…Was great…YOU are great…Keep doing great…AND keep your heart soft & strong…We are blessed by your talents 🎼😊

[@sandyconneely7040]

Just be you. Who cares what people think it’s your life, and we only get one. Be happy.

[@dennismcpeek9630]

Darci, I really enjoyed your first time on AGT. But when you sang, that was a whole new you! You have a beautiful voice and I think you are going in the right direction. Looking forward to seeing you sing again!

[@newmanmarc]

Total respect, especially because You are doing YOU!

[@r.c.brousseau9655]

Smart girl - love her!

[@davidlancey5409]

Darci Lynne I want to thank you for singing more, I Loved watching you sing on the tv show special you.

[@dianelawrence2910]

Such a multi talented young lady. The world is your oyster. Go for it and live your dreams!

[@davekramer4266]

Darci wish Nothing but the Best in Life!💐

[@BuddhaKat1]

You have such an astonishing singing voice.

[@mrlee6895]

I would have liked to ask Darci if she would ever expand her ventriloquism to new puppets and voices. But I enjoy all of her talents and am looking forward to hearing more new music also.

[@lynncraig3005]

Great interview. Love you Darci Lynne. I wish you all the best as you pursue your many talents. I knew you were a great writer just from the dialogues you wrote for you and your puppets from your very first performance on AGT and every performance after. You always make my face and heart smile. I love how you pointed out how the AGT judges are always saying to up your game and to surprise them and you did just that on AGT Fantasy League. I thought that during your performance and was surprised by their reaction. Good for you for not letting anyone limit your talents.

[@maybeme94]

Explore…learn, grow, explore some more. Do what you love and follow your heart! Give yourself space to do what makes your heart Salor, and what brings you joy!

[@CJMHalbur]

Love your outfit, Darcy!

[@1MysteryZ1967]

Darci has piano hands! Awesome.

[@tomhenry897]

Always good to see her

[@hermithollow2024]

I loved it Darci Lynn (AGT). As wonderful of a ventriloquist as you are, what impressed me first about you was your singing. 😊

[@nyima04011]

Lovely to see a personal update! Best wishes Darci!!!

[@ericguner]

You are such a sweetheart 💋 I'll bet your mama and papa are proud of you! Any man would be blessed to have a beautiful woman like you for his wife Darci. You are a star! May Christ guide you and keep you.

[@paulasmith4049]

I hope you don't stop doing ventriloquism you are great at it

[@brucebenson5908]

Her puppets seem like real people to her. Maybe that's one of the reasons she's so good at it. She takes them seriously.

[@gilsantos3021]

sou apaixonado pela Darci

[@jamesgibson5818]

As someone who is watched her from day number one on America’s got talent I’m glad she’s not taking the purpose out of the act completely because she is super funny

[@walterbriggs272]

You are a beautiful lady. I have loved your show from the first AGT program it was great! Love Petunia!

[@DawnOldham]

I'm so happy for you! You are following a new dream and you have all the tools you need to be successful! (And you'll get to move your lips now!) 😂

[@maksphoto78]

She's grown up so quiick¬!

[@stpaulmercantile]

“Name a great ventriloquist “. I name three. “Name a great singer”. I think of a thousand. Do you want to be one of the top 3? Or in the middle of a pack of 1000? Express your desire to sing through your puppets.

[@rkf2746]

There's an old saying, "you have to dance with the one that brought you". Ventriloquism brought you to the dance, so don't turn your back on it.

[@tomsalzl6593]

listened to your other vids n songs. Eda is heard, love the rifting, absolutely heard nora, cool yes on amy... think more on the fusion of it. maybe think on like blue by leeann r. but with a push - crazy piccolo rift, cello rift .. just throwing out some concept avenues to consider. you know the yodel growl history. let the imagination of a new personality find a way out. just pull more out of the gut felt instinct may try a belting push topped with a serine quiet... a few concept words maybe even read poet.. i can wait - loved the way you interviewed here and could see your excitement on the answers n the future oh for an extreme twist frank s. and carole king story telling ability is there to be brought out too

[@madcoolclips2800]

#greatsongwriter

[@IaneHowe]

She was a singer back, a great one, then so not much of a change

[@oldgraybeard3659]

Go do the Voice.

[@sajinjoshi4412]

🇺🇸🔥✝️🤍👏🏻💛

[@mesillahills]

Just look at Lennon and Maisy. A brilliant career made famous by a leading singing roll for 6 years on "Nashville" and they walked away from it. Lennon even stupidly stated she did not like country music. Now neither one of them can get a gig in a local bar. Even the Opry dropped them like a rock. In my opinion..... bad managerial advice, and not the first time that has happened. All your act needs is some money thrown at it. The talent is there.

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

Do you realize how many people you’ve never met fell in love with you?

[@jacobmoses3712]

When I first saw Darci, I thought she was wearing Camo

[@sleeve8651]

I hope someone, trustworthy has her back ! Especially with the stories going around, about some in the Music industry ! I think she is still likely very naive as to the evil that exists in the business ! Sad, but the days of wine and roses are long gone !

[@wendyo2707]

Maybe the VOICE?

[@freddoto]

so beutiful to see your lips move.

[@pattystomper1]

Darci said she wanted to keep ventriloquism alive. Now she's turned her back on it. That's how the fans feel. Yes, we do hear what she's saying, but she's not listening to what we're saying. She had a unique talent: Ventriloquism. Now she's entering a run-of-the-mill form of entertainment: Singing country music. BIG YAWN!

[@mazsroy9]

A lovely interview however maybe nerves contributed to her continually touching her face, neck, earrings, etc. It was distracting. I hope she will pursue her musical passion but as she commented, she is following her God given calling, so is on the right path. ❤

[@ryanciani3324]

It’s cd not album. This isn’t the 80s

[@dianelawrence2910]

They still call them albums in the music world

[@amymoorehead7185]

You're great Darci. Try to stop picking at yourself (during your interviews). The neck pick was a bit much in this interview.

[@thomredmann3603]

stick to ventriloquism

[@douglaselliott8298]

Darci you're a beautifully maturing singer/vocalist, and you can always keep the puppets in your quiver. Live your dream.

[@Sticks45]

All you promoted yourself on was VENTRILOQUISIM. IT SEEMS TO BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO DO AND YOU WANTED TO PROMOTE IT TO EVERYONE. HOW YOU'VE CHANGED. (Sorry it's in caps. I'm too tired to go back and change it)
