What happens when two super talents are combined? You get a spectacular Christmas special with beautiful voices and stunning musical performances along with a lot of humor.
That’s why American a capella group Pentatonix asked America’s Got Talent winner Darci Lynne Farmer to perform with them during their NBC Christmas special “A Very Pentatonix Christmas.”
Pentatonix is a phenomenally talented group from Arlington, Texas that is made up of vocalists Scott Hoyling, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola and Matt Sallee who replaced Avi Kaplan in 2017.
Their style is characterized by their pop-inspired arrangements that are produced with vocal harmonies, basslines, riffing, percussion and beatboxing. They are most well known for their covers and Christmas songs.
They have more than 13 million YouTube subscribers and have gotten more than 2.7 billion views on YouTube, according to Wikipedia. Their YouTube channel was the 50th most subscribed to YouTube channel.
They decided to bring a little diversity to their one-hour Christmas special by asking Darci to sing a song with them.
Darcy is a 13-year-old ventriloquist with a beautiful singing voice which is super impressive because she can sing well while she performs her ventriloquist act. Darci was the third female child to win America’s Got Talent and was also the third ventriloquist to win on the show.
Darci, who is from Oklahoma City loved to sing was but was shy and afraid to perform. Her parents encouraged her to compete in the Internation Cinderella Scholarship Program to overcome her shyness.
That’s when she won the crown of International Mini Miss and was told by the teen titleholder, who is also a ventriloquist, to try out ventriloquism as a way to express herself without having to be the center of attention.
She practiced and practiced and was eventually given a puppet for her 10th birthday and later went on to win the 12th season of America’s Got Talent. Darci and her sassy rabbit puppet Petunia joined Pentatonix to sing “Oh Christmas Tree.” Well, sort of.
Petunia didn’t know much about human holidays and the only version of the song that she knew was “Oh, Easter Egg.” Darci’s voice is extremely quite beautiful on its own.
So, it’s pretty mind-boggling to understand how she can sing so well while performing her act.
She and Petunia sang a hilarious rendition of “Oh Christmas Tree” to the delight of the audience that went “Oh, Easter Egg, Oh, Easter Egg. You smell rotten slightly.” Enjoy the hilarious holiday performance in the video the below.
