One of the most successful America’s Got Talent winners ever has taken a break from her whirlwind touring schedule to give fans an unforgettable a cappella rendition of a classic hymn!
Darci Lynne, who walked away from AGT Season 12 as the champion, dropped a heavenly version of “Amazing Grace” to Instagram on April 19, and it’s every bit as lovely as you’d expect. There’s something hauntingly beautiful about the 20-year-old casually singing the song’s familiar lyrics at the bottom of a stairway.
The star is taking full advantage of a short break in touring, and Lynne is clearly ensuring her vocals stay in tippy-top shape.
“One of my absolute favorites to sing 🩷,” she wrote in a caption.
Fans immediately saw why it’s one of Lynne’s “favorites to sing” — she crushes it! So many artists have covered the song in the past, but the 20-year-old elevates those iconic high notes even further.
Lynne’s vibrato and tone really shine in this video — there’s just so much passion behind those lyrics! And maybe it’s the acoustics of the stairway, but her voice floats through the air, giving this latest a cappella performance an ethereal quality.
In a 2019 interview with The Oklahoman, Lynne explained what she brings to the table:
“My show really has a huge variety of song genres,” she revealed. “Basically, I do opera, I do yodeling and country, I do Motown and I do pop. I do jazz a lot and it’s crazy. … I wouldn’t particularly listen to opera or yodeling songs. But that’s basically the personality of my puppets, maybe the songs they would listen to. That’s the songs they would sing.”
