This was the moment when Grace realized she wanted to do this for the rest of her life. Everything about this performance was perfection. Just look her shy eyes looking at the crowd and her confidence growing. She's phenomenal🎉
I honestly think it is a modern day classic; the ep version makes me cry every damned time. And anyone who sees the quite wonderful Windex video has the same reaction. No 12 year old should be able to do this but Grace does. This must be like when Mozart toured and played for European royalty. Absolutely unprecedented.
+Alex portillo Well She's only 12 years old and some creepy guy that's like, 50 was standing there putting His hands on Her. So yeah,..I would expect Her to feel very uncomfortable. It's just not appropriate for someone that old who is not related to Her to do that sort of thing.
+Zordana J same here. I see others already covering her songs and the structure of them speaks volumes of her talent. It s great to see all of this unfold
Does that mean you are a Grace newbie! Welcome to the fandom! If so, here's a starter kit: Maybe start with listening to her first EP "Perfectly Imperfect", which is, perfect (she was 12 at the time). Try her LP "Just The Beginning" (aged 13) and from that in particular sample a couple of tracks "Darkness Keeps Chasing Me" and "Escape My Mind" or "Sick of Being Told" for a mix or serious and fun stuff. Try "MTV Push" cover of Leon Bridge's "River", this is utterly superb but as a cover it is unusual in that mostly Grace writes and sings her own songs. Grace singing "Clearly" live on Colbert's show; it's her best band/live performance yet, I think, but the James Corden Escape My Mind is awesome too. Other live stuff: the live set at Austin City Limits #1, her premier of Moonlight at VidCon, the original I don't Know My Name audition on AGT, Clay at the AGT finals, her solo appearance at the Special Olympics Winter, her Darkness Keeps Chasing Me at MTV rooftop or the Tiny Desk set....She is awesome ...
But her sudden pitch change which makes her sound like she might be out of tune is done on purpose to give that emotional sound to the song so it's not a pitch problem, it's meant to sound that way which is why she's so unique
Exactly!!! that`s the sound she want`s, some people don`t get it, i read a lot of comments that Grace is losing Her voice, ``Specially Her last performance`` Light the Sky` at the beginning of that song, she is super squeaky, That`s exactly what she wanted!!!
Michael Pelz preach it!! That's why she's considered different from others cause her singing style is unique. Which is why Simon said, in her semi finals, that she was the singer of the next generation
It's an effective technique to make a given chord sound "thick" or "fat". For example, Revolution by the Beatles is played in both 'B' and 'B flat'. It gives an otherwise straightforward shuffle a thick sound. Also, the keyboard tech for the great Canadian band Rush, tunes Lee's '5th A' at 'A flat' to augment Lifeson's standard guitar tuning. These are advanced techniques that Grace, much to her credit, has already mastered! Well done, young Lady!👍 🤓
No matter what people say about her singing, about her age, about her notes are wrong, SHE IS SPECIAL, she has something that nobody in that comeptition has, how can she write those lyrics and find the rythm in her head at the same time? She´s amazing, no matter if she wins or not, I´m glad I was able to listen this bright young girl.
Imagine you are 12 years old; people are telling you what to do and you resist and say, no I'm going to sing what I want to and do what I want to. Someone who can resist that sort of pressure and do what they feel they should do is amazing. Which is why Grace is going to be a superstar.
The number of hooks she can place in a single song sends you on an emotional roller coaster. Truly gifted writer, arranger, singer. Dang cute too. She makes me cry.
Watching this again more than 2 years later and STILL blown away. It was at this point I was 100% sure Grace's audition was no fluke. It was this song that proved to me that we were going to see Graces for years to come. A true prodigy.
absolutely` love coming back to this some months later. if you've followed grace and can watch this without crying...you're a much bigtger person than me. i have no words for how great this really is....
Her Sister has to be so Proud of her. I love how close they are. At 3:56 - 4:01 its so fragile, it feels like the air around her is about to shatter. Just a Priceless moment. > Will she sing once more in the show or is it just voting now?
In difficult times, listening to a melody that speaks of love and friendship, especially between sisters, is wonderful. Grace was very happy with her statements, managed to apply a feeling to the lyrics and sing in a simple, clear and objective way. Talent, voice, originality, intelligence describe Grace Vanderwaal's profile, congratulations and "success always" !!!
Amiga Just one composed song to our God almighty, a thanks for the beautiful creation he gave to the world. You are truly a gift to this world. Thank you Grace.
I saw her and her mom at the Billboard awards. I think her mom is amazing. She was not looking like those want to be their daughter mom's, she looked like, I am at a school function where my daughter is the star. It's amazing how they know this is Grace's show and they are happy to be the support and let her be in the lime light. Hats off to Grace's parents too!!
It helps to have intelligent parents, Tina has been that way since the beginning. I blame Nick for her parents going on the stage at AGT, I think Tina and Dave would have been just as happy standing in the wings watching their daughters
this little girl is the most beautiful talented amazing gift from God and she is going to be a HUGE star, she's is such a humble adorable little girl and I just loved that she wrote this song I would've never guessed I loved the song and that's so amazing that she is so creative and full of talent!
you wanna see the real Grace? gotta watch her home videos that her mom took while they flew to L,A, to get ready for this show, there`s like 9 videos, Day 3 and 8 are my favorite, She is so funny and adorable, just watching her talking is entertaining, she could easily have her own ``reality show`
+Michael Pelz her version of Elvis' can't stop falling in love was the best. She's just awesome. So inspiring. I'll get the EP when it inevitably comes out.
She legitimately sounds like she is trying to talk like a British person with problems and every once in awhile she purposely makes her voice crack like a 14 year old boy
It's a love song to her sister and it is beautiful because, when you listen to it, you feel how sincere it is. Grace V. is a special talent and I wish nothing but happiness and success for her, however she chooses to define it.
It's great to see someone like you Grace VanderWaal, full of heart, offering yourself and talent to the world. You're on a challenging journey that is irreplaceable and a credit to everyone because of who you are. Thank you.
This song brought me to tears. Her vocals are what makes her who she is, a unique human being who deserves the world. I’m glad she’s in the music industry. She needs much more attention than she’s getting. Underrated!
I am a 56 yr old dude sitting here listening to this tiny little girl sing this song with tears rolling down my face.....wow.
Look what windex did with her song ruclips.net/video/k7rqVanT1pM/видео.html
Joining the club
me too
78 and Me too! Love her to death!
Grace you are a Beautiful thing
I agree.
Yeah she is
Yeahh
So much
She is a Beautiful thing!soooo Beautiful
Swear 90% of the time she almost brings me to tears with her voice
For real
I would love to hear her sing chandelier by sia.
kshara pruden I vet she would do a good cover it
SAME
So, did you like Puddles? :)
Yaaa. She sounds like sia😂😂😂
does Bob Dylan can sign chandelier like sia?, of course no. is sia better than Bob Dylan? of course no!
The studio version of this song is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever performed.
I think she did a faster pace on AGT because of the quick folk rock people loved and expected after I Don't Know My Name
Makes me cry. Every damned time. It's a classic. One of the best love songs ever written...by a 12 year old!
Cal 99ers Z
The greatest love song that doesn't use the word love.
Wha, I don’t think tis is a love song
Or like family or friend love? Cuz she’s writing this about her and her sister :D
@@wheezy400 I mean it can totally be a love song if someone is thinking about it in regards to their significant other
The word love or baby is not in this song so it feels like a breeze of fresh air
@@wheezy400 Love for you're sister is a love song.
This was the moment when Grace realized she wanted to do this for the rest of her life. Everything about this performance was perfection. Just look her shy eyes looking at the crowd and her confidence growing. She's phenomenal🎉
❤❤
She's absolutely a little super super star❤❤❤
My daughter's friend just got married and played this song (the studio version) at her wedding. Brought tears to the whole crowd.
Jeff Grace's Beautiful Thing will likely be a wedding standard in year to come! You've seen the Windex ad I assume?
I honestly think it is a modern day classic; the ep version makes me cry every damned time. And anyone who sees the quite wonderful Windex video has the same reaction. No 12 year old should be able to do this but Grace does. This must be like when Mozart toured and played for European royalty. Absolutely unprecedented.
Nobody can sing like this girl-Nobody - She's on a different level-
@@thomasmalatesta7331, You are sooo.. right.
Jeff H Really? That’s amazing! So happy the crowd was emotional towards this touching song :)
A born natural talent
I really hope she has the right people around her because she is a superstar I want to hear her forever and ever.
I loved how she always smile when the crowd cheered at her.
aw she looked so nervous
ya i think she was a bit nervous that she wouldnt live up to what people expect now
yes, she looked so nervous! I had my heart in my throat being nervous for her haha she was still amazing!
True, here audition almost seem like it would be a hard act to follow but she did it. :)
Alex portillo but she make it perfect and amazing.. wow
+Alex portillo Well She's only 12 years old and some creepy guy that's like, 50 was standing there putting His hands on Her. So yeah,..I would expect Her to feel very uncomfortable. It's just not appropriate for someone that old who is not related to Her to do that sort of thing.
mark my words maybe in 5 or 6 years shes gonna be a big star
I agree.
5 - 6 minutes?
She is going to float into the stratosphere...... I am a Senior and i think she is absolutely incredible.
+Zordana J same here. I see others already covering her songs and the structure of them speaks volumes of her talent. It s great to see all of this unfold
lol 5-6 years ? go and listen her originals on her channel 12 starts, gossip girl, miss you, she has material for hit album already
Simon hits it. It's the crocky voice that is the magic in her voice. This girl is outta this planet.
Where have I BEEN! Thank God she was created. She is a miracle!

Janine King also check out her performance and acceptance speech when she got the billboard rising star award bring tissues

It's not necessarily done on purpose, but, it does come naturally. It's just part of her emotional and artistic expression. I couldn't love it more.
I love her pitch change, i dont want her changing that, its what makes her unique, leave well enough alone

How is she even real? She's like this living, breathing, tiny doll that belts out soul. I'm in love with this child's vocals. And spirit.
Honestly her originals are better than most of the crappy music these days
ikr
Alexa 5sos yeah!
Ps her music these days we mostly covers though so that's probably why
Alexa 5sos agreed
yaaaa,, agreee
OMG she is mindblowing
undoubtedly one of the most beautiful songs ever
I got chills, she's so great!
she is the best singer that i know
Grace is the best singer ever
the album version of this is even better
Grace is now my favourite singer
Omg that was like magic grace vanderwaal

Jessica, O wwwww she won! She won!! She won!! Who will not fall in love with such an angel!!!
That’s why she’s ‘perfectly imperfect’🙂
She won the show
Now I'm jealous of you, America. You've got something really special.
Kateřina Čechová ikr she's amazing
Kateřina Čechová
, Ain't it the truth, and Thanks.
Sure

I played this song at my baby daughters funeral…replays in my head every single day
I’m so sorry for your loss! May she Rest In Peace
I'm so so so so sorry. I can't even imagine. Please accept my condolences. God bless you!
❤❤❤
She's sooo goooood 💛💜💛💜
Imagine you are 12 years old; people are telling you what to do and you resist and say, no I'm going to sing what I want to and do what I want to. Someone who can resist that sort of pressure and do what they feel they should do is amazing. Which is why Grace is going to be a superstar.

I love you grace
Thanks so much to NBC, Simon, and RUclips for bringing us such an exquisite angel!

EXACTLY

For the nth time, watching Grace's progress through AGT. Love her so much.
HER. LAUGH. adorable!!!
she`s the best I have ever seen...so amazing at that age..the voice is something else
She has the most powerful voice
I just love her honesty. She really is incredibly amazing on all levels. I don’t even listen to this kind of music but she enchanted me
I could watch this over and over and never get tired of it
It's March, 2019 and I'm watching it yet again. All of her AGT performances actually.
In difficult times, listening to a melody that speaks of love and friendship, especially between sisters, is wonderful. Grace was very happy with her statements, managed to apply a feeling to the lyrics and sing in a simple, clear and objective way.
Talent, voice, originality, intelligence describe Grace Vanderwaal's profile, congratulations and "success always" !!!

Beautiful comment, River Daze. I feel the same way about this utterly amazing child... she is VERY special.

It's great to see someone like you Grace VanderWaal, full of heart, offering yourself and talent to the world. You're on a challenging journey that is irreplaceable and a credit to everyone because of who you are. Thank you.
Grace is so real, kind, and genuine. We can all relate to her unlike all the other artists today.
This song about her sister is amazing. The bond she has with her sister is wonderful. ...wish all siblings were like this😡
This song brought me to tears. Her vocals are what makes her who she is, a unique human being who deserves the world. I’m glad she’s in the music industry. She needs much more attention than she’s getting. Underrated!
They will be studying this on for years
She's gifted
