+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 ...
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.
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.
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 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
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?
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!
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.
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!👍 🤓
Grace, an extraordinarily talented writer, a captivating voice and style and a stage presence many would only hope to have yet she has yet to hit her 16th year. This amazing artist can at this time only go up and we can stand and watch our Star Girl explode like the biggest and most colourful firework as she asserts her place among the brightest stars.
I hope she doesn't get so popular as a result of Stargirl I have a hard time getting tickets for her tour next summer. But she is just getting started; she's a genius.
@@jamessmithe5490 Consider Taylor Swift, you can get to her concerts but you do need to plan ahead as she is very popular, I do wish Grace to have that level of fame, she deserves it.
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.
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....
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.
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" !!!
I just realized that she won agt not just because her singing. She showed more than just one talents here than the other contestant just showed 1 talent. Her singing, her playing ukulele, her lyrics, her composing(?) those rhythms, etc.
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.
GRACE YOU ARE AMAZING 😊🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️😃! I AM A 65 YEAR OLD GREAT GRANDMOTHER AND A FAN OF YOUR MUSIC 🎶!! I HAVE YOUR C.D. AND I LOVED 🥰 IT 😊!!! yOU ARE A GIFTED YOUNG LADY 🌺🌼🌸!!!♥️♥️♥️!!!
One of the things I appreciate about Grace is her style of dress... She is so genuine and modest in a way that is so beautiful, bringing fame the dimension that is usually lacking. This girl is the real deal - The teen I want my grandchildren to model.
She sang her heart out I loved it every song was her own nobody has ever wrote 4 songs during their time on A.G.T the last 3 songs she wrote during her time on the show truly amazing. I just can’t get enough of this girl
You think that you know my heart And you probably do So I'm always with you I could stay with you for hours In an empty room And never get bored Never have nothing to do You're my other half You're what makes me me What makes me smile When I fall down and can't get back, get back, get back up On my feet Without you here I am boring Something inside you is triggering It makes me myself Makes me funny, you're a beautiful thing We're a beautiful thing together Even when the weather is low You're a beautiful thing We're a beautiful thing together Even when the weather is low We find the rainbow Up in the sky You'd say don't you cry, it's all gonna be alright If we ever gone through a fight oh that would be bad 'Cause you know all of my secrets But I know all of yours We make hours turn into seconds together The weight of the world feel like a feather 'Cause we're holding it right in our hands You're my other half You're what makes me me What makes me smile When I fall down and can't get back up, get back, get back up On my feet Without you here I am boring Something inside you is triggering It makes me myself Makes me funny You're a beautiful thing We're a beautiful thing together Even when the weather is low You're a beautiful thing We're a beautiful thing together Even when the weather is low You and me Together, we'll forget what we have been told We'll live in our own dream world You and me, forever We'll forget what we have been told We will take on the whole world Without you here I am boring Something inside you is triggering It makes me myself, it makes me funny You're a beautiful thing We're a beautiful thing together Even when the weather is low And that's a beautiful thing
I have been writing songs most of my life (52 years old), and it drives me crazy that a 12-year-old can write something like this when I could never come close. A little professional envy :-P
+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.
And that’s exactly what happened to me. Could not believe ‘I Don’t Know My Name’ . Great little tune all on it’s own. But unbelievable coming from a 12 year old little girl. But when THIS song happened I think everybody knew that her first song was no fluke. And if this one didn’t do it for people, she has a third and FOURTH!!!!! WHAM WHAM!!! in the following weeks. She puts the ‘one of a kind’ in ‘one of a kind’. And now with an EP and ALBUM with epically written stuff at 13!!!!!! years old. Has this ever been done before? She has to have broken some sort of record to have this much original material that is so good and catchy and deep and diverse all at the same time by such an early age. The girl is wondrous!!
What I really love is they were pressuring her to do a reprise of I Don't Know My Name for her final performance. They said, well if you don't follow our advice you're going to lose. So, this little 12 year old said, nope, going to sing Clay. So many facets to this little genius aside from her voice and songwriting ability. Charisma? Character? Something extra. She turns grown men into fanboys.
James Smithe stood her ground. So awesome. And another great part to the story is 2 of the songs. “Light the Sky” & “Clay” were written while waiting for the next episodes. Her whole story is soooo not told enough. And it will be, cause it’s unmatched. In an era of AGT and American Idol and the Voice, in the U.S. and other countries, too me she has single handedly destroyed competing with a cover song. Unless its really really unique, it just doesn’t work like it used to. And that’s too bad because usually that is all a person has. ‘You sounded just like Whitney Houston when you sang that’ does not do what it used to. It might get you past a round or two, but it gets boring. Even if it’s great singing. Which is why, i think you see far more originals being done then we used to. I’ve clamored about this before, but it’s not acknowledged enough that it’s the influence of Grace VanderWaal. Sal and Crumb of Grace’s season could have won on that season if Grace wasn’t in it. Or any season before, if Grace wasn’t in it. But I’m not so sure about following seasons. Since Grace, great covers just don’t have the same impact they used to. Too dime a dozen. I’ve seen fantastic singers of cover songs die out far sooner in the season then they used to. The Grace Vanderwaal effect. She’s affected modern culture and no one even realizes it yet.
You think that you know my heart And probably do So I'm always with you I could stay with you for hours In an empty room Never get bored Never have nothing to do You're my other half You're what makes me, me What makes me smile When I fall down and can't get back, get back,get back up On my feet Without you here I am boring Something inside you is triggering And makes me myself makes me funny You're a beautiful thing We're a beautiful thing together Even when the weather is low You're a beautiful thing We're a beautiful thing together Even when the weather is low We can find the rainbow Up in the sky You'd say don't you cry, it's all gonna be alright If we ever got into a fight or war that would by bad Cause you know my all of my secrets But I know all yours Make hours into seconds together The weight of the world feel like a feather Cause we're holding it right in our hands You're my other half What makes me, me What makes me smile When I fall down and can't get back get back get back up on my feet Without you here I am boring Something inside you is triggering And makes me myself makes me funny You're a beautiful thing We're a beautiful thing together Even when the weather is low You and me together We'll forget what we have been told We'll live in our own dream word You and me forever We'll forget what we have been told we will take on whole word without you here I am boring Something inside you is triggering And makes me myself makes me funny You're a beautiful thing We're a beautiful thing together Even when the weather is low And that's a beautiful thing
Thank you. Somehow it seems I’m the only one who can’t make out a lot of the lyrics when she sings. She’s good and all but I definitely feel frustrated not making out the words.
You could tell the stress was getting to her. She wanted to cry a few times but she is such a born performer that she pushed through. Looking forward to her career
Amazing, powerful and unique voice with a positive message! I absolutely love her and wish her the best of luck. Though, she doesn't need luck❤️ We need more of her in the world!!!
Most albums have songs you love, songs that are okay and songs you skip over. The songs in Just The Beginning all range from good to great to amazing.(thinking of Darkness Keeps Chasing Me--how the hell did she write this song?)
Yes. it's almost never brought up except when Simon said, "I know every idea is yours..." This is a girl with a mind of her own. Resisted extreme pressure to sing I Don't Know My Name for the finale. She knew if she did and lost she'd regret it forever. Instead sang the jaw dropping Clay and ran away from the competition. She is an odd combination of genius and down to earth, charming, funny, charismatic, unassuming, beautiful person.
Just listening to this again. Again. Just how awesome that aged 12 someone can get up on the (inter)national stage and bash out yet another awesome original. 03:45-03:51 with the bluesy slide. Epic, Grace, just epic.

❤❤
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
@@jamessmithe5490 I agree. I put it up there with songs like Imagine.
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!
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.

Yeah she is
Yeahh
So much
She is a Beautiful thing!soooo Beautiful
mark my words maybe in 5 or 6 years shes gonna be a big star

I loved how she always smile when the crowd cheered at her.

That's what I always said. It's a talent contest, not a singing contest and her songwriting abilities are at genius levels.
After watching her sing dozens of covers, I think she still would have won. Singing originals made it harder.
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.
For the nth time, watching Grace's progress through AGT. Love her so much.
Grace is so real, kind, and genuine. We can all relate to her unlike all the other artists today.
Listening to this song for the first time. I think I'm melting. This is wonderful♥
Thanks so much to NBC, Simon, and RUclips for bringing us such an exquisite angel!

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.
Omg that was like magic grace vanderwaal
As Simon said, “everyone was waiting for this moment”. And no one was disappointed. So so good.
This laughing at the end! 😍 So Beautiful! 🤗
She is such a beautiful human being.
Simon said it...she's sweet and charming!! Not to mention talented as all hell.
How rare it is to really find a true original...she's a gem!!
The new version of this song gives you more chills. It's slower and Grace doesn't rush it. PERFECT...
yes with the piano ... epic song
I like both versions
the piano version is great... but I think this version has something special about it.... personalitiy?
Yes, the EP version with the piano makes me cry everytime.
That magical moment when you realize that there are 5 syllables in the rainbow. Grace you are the GOAT.
She sang her heart out I loved it every song was her own nobody has ever wrote 4 songs during their time on A.G.T the last 3 songs she wrote during her time on the show truly amazing. I just can’t get enough of this girl
You think that you know my heart
And you probably do
So I'm always with you
I could stay with you for hours
In an empty room
And never get bored
Never have nothing to do
You're my other half
You're what makes me me
What makes me smile
When I fall down and can't get back, get back, get back up
On my feet
Without you here I am boring
Something inside you is triggering
It makes me myself
Makes me funny, you're a beautiful thing
We're a beautiful thing together
Even when the weather is low
You're a beautiful thing
We're a beautiful thing together
Even when the weather is low
We find the rainbow
Up in the sky
You'd say don't you cry, it's all gonna be alright
If we ever gone through a fight oh that would be bad
'Cause you know all of my secrets
But I know all of yours
We make hours turn into seconds together
The weight of the world feel like a feather
'Cause we're holding it right in our hands
You're my other half
You're what makes me me
What makes me smile
When I fall down and can't get back up, get back, get back up
On my feet
Without you here I am boring
Something inside you is triggering
It makes me myself
Makes me funny
You're a beautiful thing
We're a beautiful thing together
Even when the weather is low
You're a beautiful thing
We're a beautiful thing together
Even when the weather is low
You and me
Together, we'll forget what we have been told
We'll live in our own dream world
You and me, forever
We'll forget what we have been told
We will take on the whole world
Without you here I am boring
Something inside you is triggering
It makes me myself, it makes me funny
You're a beautiful thing
We're a beautiful thing together
Even when the weather is low
And that's a beautiful thing
I have been writing songs most of my life (52 years old), and it drives me crazy that a 12-year-old can write something like this when I could never come close. A little professional envy :-P
Wth?
Thats not like the liyric of music?
Honestly her originals are better than most of the crappy music these days
ikr
Ps her music these days we mostly covers though so that's probably why
Alexa 5sos agreed
yaaaa,, agreee
Her voice stands out. She sound like she has Irish accent. Its beautiful
SERIOUSLY GOD AT WORK WATTA GIRL I JUST KEEP COMING BACK
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.
"I don't know my name" was great; but this is the tune and performance that convinced me that Grace is a song-writing prodigy.
And that’s exactly what happened to me. Could not believe ‘I Don’t Know My Name’ . Great little tune all on it’s own. But unbelievable coming from a 12 year old little girl. But when THIS song happened I think everybody knew that her first song was no fluke. And if this one didn’t do it for people, she has a third and FOURTH!!!!! WHAM WHAM!!! in the following weeks. She puts the ‘one of a kind’ in ‘one of a kind’. And now with an EP and ALBUM with epically written stuff at 13!!!!!! years old. Has this ever been done before? She has to have broken some sort of record to have this much original material that is so good and catchy and deep and diverse all at the same time by such an early age. The girl is wondrous!!
What I really love is they were pressuring her to do a reprise of I Don't Know My Name for her final performance. They said, well if you don't follow our advice you're going to lose. So, this little 12 year old said, nope, going to sing Clay. So many facets to this little genius aside from her voice and songwriting ability. Charisma? Character? Something extra. She turns grown men into fanboys.
James Smithe stood her ground. So awesome. And another great part to the story is 2 of the songs. “Light the Sky” & “Clay” were written while waiting for the next episodes. Her whole story is soooo not told enough. And it will be, cause it’s unmatched. In an era of AGT and American Idol and the Voice, in the U.S. and other countries, too me she has single handedly destroyed competing with a cover song. Unless its really really unique, it just doesn’t work like it used to. And that’s too bad because usually that is all a person has. ‘You sounded just like Whitney Houston when you sang that’ does not do what it used to. It might get you past a round or two, but it gets boring. Even if it’s great singing. Which is why, i think you see far more originals being done then we used to. I’ve clamored about this before, but it’s not acknowledged enough that it’s the influence of Grace VanderWaal. Sal and Crumb of Grace’s season could have won on that season if Grace wasn’t in it. Or any season before, if Grace wasn’t in it. But I’m not so sure about following seasons. Since Grace, great covers just don’t have the same impact they used to. Too dime a dozen. I’ve seen fantastic singers of cover songs die out far sooner in the season then they used to. The Grace Vanderwaal effect. She’s affected modern culture and no one even realizes it yet.

If we ever got into a fight or war that would by bad
Cause you know my all of my secrets
But I know all yours
Make hours into seconds together

And that's a beautiful thing
Thank you. Somehow it seems I’m the only one who can’t make out a lot of the lyrics when she sings. She’s good and all but I definitely feel frustrated not making out the words.
How much long you take to write this😅😅
one two three, 3 originals, croaky perfect.All hits right out of the park. She is amazing. Superstar,
And she hadn't done Clay yet
I can't think of any other singer that has performed all original songs in one of these competitions, let alone WIN! Can you?
you probably never will again and yet people are dumb enough to say, she shouldn't have won
Nope. To this day nobody has won any talent show singing originals. I think Grace has a record that will never be broken.
I’m a sensitive person I cry over dumb things but her performances I can’t help it and I know some can agree with me I just love her ❤️
I've read comments by bikers and truckers that rarely cry say they can't help it.
You could tell the stress was getting to her. She wanted to cry a few times but she is such a born performer that she pushed through. Looking forward to her career
Amazing, powerful and unique voice with a positive message! I absolutely love her and wish her the best of luck. Though, she doesn't need luck❤️ We need more of her in the world!!!
Grace is now my favourite singer
she's so talented! she's going to be a huge star.
her laugh at the end was the cutest thing ever
Still have some grace everyday four years later
She's honestly amazing
I Love how her sister and her have such a supportive relationship!!
This is when I knew she was a special soul. Her album "just the beginning" is wonderful.
Most albums have songs you love, songs that are okay and songs you skip over. The songs in Just The Beginning all range from good to great to amazing.(thinking of Darkness Keeps Chasing Me--how the hell did she write this song?)
Her background on stage is her all over from the lights, to the sparkling tree, and lavender fog..✨
Yes. it's almost never brought up except when Simon said, "I know every idea is yours..." This is a girl with a mind of her own. Resisted extreme pressure to sing I Don't Know My Name for the finale. She knew if she did and lost she'd regret it forever. Instead sang the jaw dropping Clay and ran away from the competition. She is an odd combination of genius and down to earth, charming, funny, charismatic, unassuming, beautiful person.
Grace is one of the AGT success ....... she deserve winner...... 12 years old amazingggggg.........
I'm watching this like t'was my first time and getting all the chills and butterflies eventho I've watch this thousand times.
Just listening to this again. Again. Just how awesome that aged 12 someone can get up on the (inter)national stage and bash out yet another awesome original. 03:45-03:51 with the bluesy slide. Epic, Grace, just epic.
She's a winner no matter the outcome of agt.
She has my votes for sure.
Exactly, she's already won and we get to enjoy it. I almost gave up on music and then this happens.
This song and her voice made me cry
Is it weird that I'm back, 2 &1/2 years later and crying, or is it just me?❤️
No, I'll never stop watching her video's and they get to me every time.
What a amazing beautiful young person. Gotta love her💕
Original omposers like this are a national treasure! It would be fun if she met fellow young composers Emily Bear and Alma Deutscher.
Her video of this song and the Windex commercial is when you really realize how beautiful this song is
OMG she is mindblowing
I love her every song... her songs always touched my heart and soul... I wish she gonna be a great star soon.
She is amazing and she should get the golden buzzer every time she goes on amierca got talent... from Bella
