Ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer has been crowned winner of Americas Got Talent.
The 12-year-old blew the judges away with her incredible pipes and will get to star in her own Las Vegas show, as well as taking home $1million.
Mel B who chose Darci Lynne as her Golden Buzzer act earlier in the series, told her the performance was incredible, adding: You are just, youre so poised, and I still dont know how you do it cause I try and watch for your mouth moving and you are that professional.

She was my guess to win when I first saw her. Singing, comedy and ventriloquism. Was going to be tough to beat.

(20,209 posts)I just hope her career is properly managed. So many child performers have parents who quit their jobs and become their "manager". That's what happened to Scott Baio. Maybe that's why he's so bitter.

Such incredible poise and presence at that age, and what a voice!
Congratulations to Ms. Farmer, and best wishes for a very successful career spanning decades!

Though that one part when she tried to sing and her dummy covered her mouth. Rude.

Ventriloquism is an art form that is rarely done, and the fact that this girl can belt expertly with her jaw closed is amazing.

I know it sounds ridiculous. Ventriloquist acts, how early-20th-Century vaudeville? Nevertheless, he entertains.

(5,316 posts)...she sings better than most contemporary pop music stars, without auto-tuning, and without moving her lips.
Vocally, she's Fantastic.
Once she's allowed to actually mover her lips, she's beyond the beyond...remember, she's only 12 yo!!

I wa surprise the roller skaters didn't make it to the final round. Oh and little Celine Lam, I thought she was better than Angelica.
This is the first year I've watched this show and I really liked it.

(5,914 posts)I think that's maybe the coolest thing I've seen in years, if we're talking about television entertainment. THIS is the kind of thing we used to look forward to seeing on TV.
I hope that kid is having (and will have) a happy life. She is obviously ridiculously talented and deserves the dough.
