Darci Lynne knew she had to trust her gut for her America's Got Talent: Fantasy League semifinals performance — even if things didn't go her way.
达西·林恩知道，她必须相信自己的直觉，才能在《美国达人秀:梦幻联盟》半决赛中表现出色——即使事情没有如她所愿。
During Monday's episode of the America's Got Talent spinoff, the 19-year-old ventriloquist — who competed on and won the 12th season of AGT in 2017 — shocked audiences when she decided to abandon her puppet and perform an original song solo.
在周一播出的《美国达人秀》衍生节目中，这位19岁的腹语演员决定放弃木偶，独唱一首原创歌曲，震惊了观众。她曾参加2017年第12季的《美国达人秀》，并获得了冠军。
The move both surprised and impressed the judges, who initially questioned Darci's intentions before praising her for forging her own path, despite their previous feedback.
这一举动让评委们既惊讶又印象深刻，他们最初质疑达尔西的意图，然后赞扬她开辟了自己的道路，尽管他们之前有过反馈。
"A couple weeks ago, Darci did less of ventriloquism and more singing, and we said we think that's a big mistake," judge Simon Cowell said after her performance. "And so, you completely disregarded our advice, threw away the puppets and decided to come out and do it yourself."
评委西蒙·考威尔在她的表演结束后说:“几周前，达西的腹语表演少了，唱歌的时间多了，我们认为这是一个很大的错误。”“所以，你完全无视我们的建议，扔掉木偶，决定自己走出来。”
But for Darci, who was competing on judge Heidi Klum's fantasy team, the choice to shift away from her childish ventriloquist image and embrace her aspiring musician adulthood was one she felt was necessary.
但对于参加评委海蒂·克拉姆梦幻团队的达尔西来说，她觉得有必要改变自己幼稚的腹语者形象，拥抱自己有抱负的音乐家成年期。
“It's crazy for a lot of people,” Darci recently told PEOPLE in an interview to promote the release of her debut single, “Push Our Luck.” “They all have that 12-year-old in mind whenever my name comes up. And so now it's like, ‘Oh my gosh, she's growing up.’"
“这对很多人来说都很疯狂，”Darci最近在为宣传她的首张单曲《Push Our Luck》而接受《人物》采访时表示。“每当我的名字出现时，他们都会想到那个12岁的孩子。”所以现在就像是，‘哦，我的天哪，她长大了。’”
“My mantra is I don't want to be put in a box or limited in any way,” she continues. “Singing always came first. Singing is what I grew up doing as long as I can remember. And then the ventriloquism came around. Now I'm able to step out and be more confident in my own skin without the puppet. I think it was always kind of meant to go down this road ... it's important that I show this side of me and show that I can hold my own as a solo artist now, singing with my mouth open."
她继续说道:“我的口头禅是，我不想被关在一个盒子里，也不想受到任何限制。“唱歌永远是第一位的。从我记事起，唱歌就是我从小到大做的事。然后腹语术出现了。现在我可以走出去，对自己的皮肤更有信心，没有木偶。我想这条路一直是注定要走下去的……重要的是，我要展示我的这一面，展示我现在可以作为一名独唱歌手坚持自己的立场，张开嘴唱歌。”
Prior to taking the stage, Darci explained in her intro package that she "was a very shy little girl who had just started ventriloquism when I came to AGT for the first time, but that's definitely not who I am now. I'm not 12 anymore."
在上台之前，Darci在她的介绍包中解释说:“当我第一次来到AGT时，她是一个非常害羞的小女孩，刚刚开始口技，但这绝对不是我现在的样子。我不再是12岁了。”
Looking back on her first round performance, where she sang "I've Got the Music in Me" and partly abandoned her puppet, Darci remembered how the judges weren't completely thrilled with the move, with Mel B telling her afterward, "The music and everything else overshadowed what you're so good at."
回顾她的第一轮表演，她唱了“我有音乐在我”，并部分放弃了她的木偶，达西记得评委们对这一举动并不完全兴奋，梅尔B事后告诉她，“音乐和其他一切都掩盖了你擅长的东西。”
"With that first performance, I was trying to show that I'm more than just a ventriloquist," Darci explained. "It just did not go the way that I had wanted it to ... hearing what the judges had to say after my last performance was definitely disappointing."
“在第一次表演中，我试图表明我不仅仅是一个口技家，”达尔西解释说。“事情并没有像我希望的那样发展……听到评委们对我最后一次表演的评价，我真的很失望。”
Much to her surprise, Darci nabbed the last spot in the semifinals, which made her realize "America is still intrigued" with her and ventriloquism — but still, she wanted to break away from her little girl image and move toward a more serious music career.
令她惊讶的是，达西在半决赛中获得了最后一个席位，这让她意识到“美国人仍然对她和腹语感兴趣”——但她仍然想摆脱自己的小女孩形象，走向更严肃的音乐事业。
"Ventriloquism connected with so many people and it felt like the puppets really connected with people, but now, with music, I want to connect with people — with me, like, Darci to person," she explained.
她解释说:“腹语术和很多人联系在一起，感觉木偶真的和人们联系在一起，但现在，通过音乐，我想和人们联系在一起，和我联系在一起，就像达西对人一样。”
