'America's Got Talent' Preteen Ventriloquist Earns 135 Million Views in 2 Days
Let's hear it for Petunia, Darci!
If you watched the premiere of "America's Got Talent" Season 12, you must remember 12-year-old Darci Lynne Farmer and her "singing" bunny Petunia. The preteen ventriloquist wowed everyone, earning the golden buzzer from judge Mel B, sending her straight to the live shows.
Darci's audition video was posted to YouTube Tuesday night, May 30, and it already has more than 4.7 million views on that platform. Over on Facebook, the official video clip has more than 131 million views. It actually went over 100 million in just over 24 hours. So just between YouTube and Facebook, Darci's singing has been viewed more than 135 million times in the past 48 hours. Not bad!
Sometimes fans can be harsh, but so far her YouTube video has more than 77,000 thumbs up and only 1,600 thumbs down. Her Facebook post has about 1.9 million likes, and more than 3.3 million shares, with 170,000 comments.
This doesn't mean she'll win the season, since things are just getting started, but it does suggest this little lady's life has completely changed for the better in the course of just a couple of days. This is what happens when you find your gift, cherish it, and let it thrive!
AGT Season 12 continues with more auditions in Episode 2, airing Tuesday, June 6 on NBC.
