The winner of Senior Superstar 2009 is no stranger to the series. Darcy Turgeon from Deagon had the audience screaming for more. Darcy entered last year and made it through to the final coming in 3rd place with his performance of the Gender bender Boy George’s song Karma Chameleon” complete with heels, hosiery and make-up.
This year Darcy sung the Manhattan Transfer song “Operator” in a holier than thou gospel robe and dreadlocks. He then transformed into mid song into a wayward Billy Idol look- a-like, which brought the house down.
