Yeah true asf! It’s kinda depressing tho when a 13 year old girl is doing better and great things in life and you’re a 25 year old talentless nobody lol.
@Melanie Anne Ahern: You're exactly right. I see steady development in style, sensitivity, and sophistication. She is looking more mature but still adorable.
Agreed, so cool to see her continue to hone her talent. This girl is like one of our Mozart's, born with a gift few possess, and has earned her recognition in every way. Grace is a talent that will be remembered for years to come, hopefully... she deserves it!
One night I was snooping around RUclips and came across this video of a little girl on AGT in goofy yellow pants with a ukulele and with a smirk thought "this may be interesting" and began to listen. I have been in and out of the music business as a musician and engineer for over 40 years. I have followed a great many obscure and virtual unknown artists throughout my years. There are very few prodigies I have seriously been impressed with. She is one of the best I've ever seen. After listening to her playing an original for her audition on AGT, "I Don't Know My Name" I found myself welling up with tears. something that nearly never happens. I began hunting around for anything else of Grace's. I found more than I expected. While on AGT she played only her original songs. Her lyrics are short and to the point and hold a great deal of power. Her songs come from a heart that gushes with a pure innocence beyond her years. She paints word pictures better than anyone I've ever heard. Grace, please, never let go of your heart for the sake of those who will attempt to entice you with the entrapments of wealth and fame. Hold on with all your might to family and your closest friends. By this your inspiration will explode around world. You will always be in my prayers. May your heart be filled with peace and joy in everything you give to others. May your happiness come from what you do with the gift you've been given and not from what you have. From new member of your "Fanderwaal" Club, Thank you.
Suberb isn't she? I've been a Grace fan since the live AGT shows. Grace is the 1st that I know of "pop" star that fills a huge gap for a wholesome, parent-friendly, peer-friendly, not-uncool-to-like, cross generational appeal. As I said to someone else in the tiresome Sia/Taylor debate, she has 28 and 14 years to go, respectively, till she reaches their ages now. Good grief, just think of what we have to come. Have you discovered her "Darkness Keeps Chasing Me"? You might need a box of tissues...
I have heard her entire album. I have also watched many of her posted videos also. Her mother is behind the camera. As young as she is I find her very intelligent and articulate. She is your typical 13 year old with a great sense of humor when she is at home. In the studio she is in near control of every aspect including lyrics, music and production. I don't believe anyone has successfully introduced a new instrument such as a ukulele so perfectly to music like pop.
Grace is most interesting artist I've ever seen in a long time. It's not just her ability to sing/song write. Her stage presence pulls you. She just knows how to make you have a great time and just a great personality.
I also saw that as well. By nature she does not play "to" the audience but with the people. There is no fear of being herself nor of making mistakes. But instead, laughing because of them not in spite of those goofs. Until she came along this kind of attitude was non-existent .
Robert Roach You've captured and encapsulated everything I've come to understand about Grace and her innate ability to create, perform and entertain. She's taken the gift of a unique, soulful, mature voice from an early age, learned to master and control it with near-perfect pitch, soaked in from around her a lifetime's worth of music theory from the music around her (and a good early teacher), and focused a poet's soul and composer's sensibilities to creating music that crosses all boundaries in its appeal. Add to that your point about being almost completely free of the self-consciousness on stage that almost anyone her age would be expected to have, along with the will of a corporate CEO in the recording studio, and the heart of an angel with the sick, shy, and nervous, and you have someone whose greatest (only?) obstacle is that so many people just haven't her yet.
What in the world is happening here? You have a 13 y/o girl, with the poise of a seasoned veteran performer, singing gospel, no less, bringing up the deepest of emotions from her heart and soul, and making the shivers go up and down my spine. She is so totally absorbed in the song... her voice with all the texture and "rasp" set free with no restraint and no constraints. As much as I love Grace, it never would have occurred to me that this blue-eyed girl could handle a song like this... but here's the proof that she can do it, and do it incredibly well. ...my favorite cover of hers.
MoreSherylCrow Her thumbs up are off the chart probably 99% and the comments as well. It's a shame that her view numbers are low. I don't blame Grace, this is obviously a testament that nobody watches MTV.
I have to agree. I have seen this now a hundred times and it hits me harder eavh time. I have listened to the original and this performance is miles above that.
I have heard so many different covers of so many different songs by soo many different artists. Sometimes, the original is better, sometimes the cover is better. But this cover, but this young lady, this is my absolute favorite cover of any song by any artist I have ever heard. Grace Vanderwaal has just flat out knocked this one out of the park! Just an amazingly, beautifully, soulful, breathtakingly wonderful cover by the most amazing singer I have ever had the honor of hearing. Just WOW!
This is so incredibly soulful and beautiful. Grace conveys such emotion when she sings. What is it about this young woman that grabs your heart and doesn't let go?
Man this girl is going to be something special in the future. Right now she's just at her peak finding her voice but after that Leon Bridgs she might be the truth
I am thunderstruck! Grace's melodic, soulful voice and emotional delivery is epic and moves me like no other ever has. Her unprecedented mastery of her craft and loving inspirational connection with her fans warms our hearts and brightens our lives! Grace, we are forever grateful!!
Wow, is this the same Grace Vanderwaal who won AGT just last year? Grace has really grown both physically and as an artist in that short time. I love, love, love her performance here. I can't stop watching this video. If she is this good at 13 what will she do at 16?
@Ross Winslow: Jesus christ dude. I consider myself a decent writer but I could never have put that as beautifully as you did. You captured Grace in a nutshell. She is not only a unique sound, but she is an incredible song writer and artist.
ross winslow....sorry to contact you this way. i've seen your posts regarding grace vanderwaal all over the web. you like her singing very much. i've really enjoyed reading your posts. i think i'm correct? do you also follow amira willighagen from holland? i could be wrong, but i'm thinking i've seen posts by you on some of her videos, etc. i could be wrong. i also see that others enjoy reading your posts about grace vanderwaal. are you on facebook? can you send me a personal e-mail? i have a couple of questions for you. nothing personal! thank you. mike nolan/mnolan@rainforestandreef.org. thanks for your time....
ps...i see we have something else in common....brandi carlisle. she's incredible isn't she? that whole band, i love...did notice you have some amira subscriptions. well, that's an entirely different story isn't it! ha.
Hi Luke, thanks for the generous words. Yes, there has never been anybody like Grace, she is totally unique in much more than her voice alone. I like to say we are witnessing the ground swell of a fledgling legend! I would like to be around another 20 - 30 years to enjoy this ride Grace has us all on, but at my age another 10 is optimistic so I'm absorbing as much as I can while I can. Have you downloaded ACL wk1 from Sam Borgman? He has the full concert plus individual songs. Happy NY and cheers, friend!
She's a natural empath and that's how she creates her song's she feels deeply the joy and sadness of the world we live in through the smallest details.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the original artist? I know this song because of Leon Bridges. He's from my city and I'm extremely proud to know others have heard his beautiful music.
@@gregcadman6102 Grace has made us appreciate Leon's music. Elvis never wrote a song and his normal fans don't know the writers of his hit. Aretha became big doing a Carole King song, wonder if anyone would have heard of Carole after all the hits she wrote if she didn't launch her own career years later. I think Leon is appreciated more by the her older fans
Grace is an old soul that understands this song. I love her rendition. So fantastic for a very young woman to get, and express, the nuances of this song. So much talent!!
The girl at the guitar is Destiny Petrel, an accomplished musician. She was part of Grace's band on her solo national tour last year. She is worth a follow.
I love her raspy, soulful voice...it takes you somewhere far away. This girl is going places and I knew she would the first time I heard her open her mouth on AGT. Love you lady Grace
Not only does she have more raw talent than 90% of the pop artist we hear today, she also has the distinct advantage of not sounding like anyone other than Grace. I predict that soon she will be simply known as GRACE a worldwide superstar like Taylor Swift.
Shawn Joyce Grace is already known worldwide people are flying across the ocean to see and hear Grace sing.A World tour may just happen next summer if they are planning, considering it right now
this young lady sings from her soul....look at her natural gestures......a pure sign of her emotions in the song......damn.....hope she continues her path to that star not found yet!!!!!!!!!!
Fabulous isn't it? Have you checked her whole album, Just The Beginning? Try the track Darkness Keeps Chasing Me (but have a box of tissues handy). Don't forget to buy it too!
Seriously now, how does a little girl have the ability to put her heart and soul into a song? Well Grace does. I'm a die hard metal rocker until I see a grace video and then I get lost for those few minutes she allows her voice to penetrate your soul. I had open heart surgery and the previous night I spent it listening to Grace's two CDs and she truly soothed this old man's heart and soul.
She is a Angel. Can anyone else's see it ..it doesn't matter what she sings I feel safe......How some one so young understands the world true the words of her music.. She is a Angel that's why.....
It's nearly 2 years since I first saw this video. Every time I listen/watch, even today, I tear up. I know this is a cover and I have watched/listened to the original, but in this video Grace owns this song. I am not religious, but she is still singing my words of humility and apology for failing to be the best I could have been when I should have been. But can there be any human alive who can sing this song of redemption with so much heart and soul that it makes me/us believe that there is forgiveness and grace, better than Grace?!? What a gift Grace Vanderwaal is to us imperfect humans!!!
She is exceptional. If you have noticed her audiences, they are a wide range of ppl. Not just children. She inspires through her gift. And what a gift!! Love u Grace!
As a female musician, I started writing songs when I was 12 years old. I too would write with an emotional intensity that I barely could explain. Call it the old soul of the musician if you will. I can not to this day, at 53 years of age, tell you where my lyrics came from. Yet I know for sure I wasn't disturbed or depressed. Somehow musicians have ways of getting into the character, or feeling of a time and place that we personally never experienced. Grace is becoming exactly what we want from artists. She evokes emotion and tells stories that captivate us! Thank you Grace, and thank you to her parents who raised a beautiful young lady, and her beautiful sister who supports her. May she continue to prosper under the guidance of her loving family. I know I will continue to follow her career closely and enjoy her music at many times during my day.
I had a similar experience but I'd give up my art to be able to play an instrument. Too me Grace is Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan with a personality, they wrote and conveyed their songs well but the appeared dead inside to me. Grace is total personality you can't help but cry as she cries and laugh as she laughs
A Fanderwaal described Grace's ability to write beyond her years or life experience as empathetic extrapolation. She said that at 12 or 13 she wrote some songs from what she saw in movies, or people she knew. Channelled her empathy for them, and extrapolated it into a full feeling. Her intelligence and emotional intelligence is also needed to make this work.
@@donjones4719 Wow Don, that was a great definition of her talent, thanks for sharing! I never thought of the experience of writing in such clear terms, but that does make total sense to me. I suppose in many ways, as adult artists, we also continue to do that. Appreciate your thoughtful response.
Loved her from the first time I saw her on AGT. She's growing up and progressing musically exactly the way I hoped she would. Her voice is one of the VERY few that actually evokes an emotional response in me that brings tears. OH, and she's from my home town, Suffern, NY! Which is SO cool!!!!
Grace is completely amazing. Not just for a girl her age. Just amazing for any age, any artist. And she has the best fashion style. How does she have it all together at her age? I was barely dressing my self at that age compared to her.
Understand something: a talent like this graces us every two generations or so. She’s older than she thinks she is and is older than you give her credit for.
In an era like this with hip hop rap and whatever that is that Ariana is doing an artist that can do almost any genre has to follow the trend to stay alive. If Mozart appeared today only a limited amount would know
I love how she’s defying her age by succeeding before society says you can succeed ... like I’m 16 and I’ve just been raised to think that once I’m 18 I can start living and creating and being free to do what I want. But she’s what, 14? And she’s doing just that. It’s just great and inspiring.
I saw youre audition that night i knew you were a star. Fell in love with youre music, then i fell in love with youre sence of being. I think or know you are the best thing to come alive in music since the 60s. I wish you the best and youre family ROCK ON GRACE! You are a class act i will always cherish your music. You are cool.

I come back often too. This is better than church.
Not many people sing the original better than the artist that created it, but Grace owned it.
It’s so cool watching her grow up.
Yeah true asf! It’s kinda depressing tho when a 13 year old girl is doing better and great things in life and you’re a 25 year old talentless nobody lol.

Singing about forgiveness, humility, faith and baptism on MTV. WHO can pull that off except Grace?? A living, walking, breathing miracle.
Your comment should be a highlighted comment.
I think your comment says it all .
Amen indeed! Huge smile! Big warm heart. I cried with happiness and she is precious and gifted! Bless her!
Leon bridges maybe... 🤷🏻♂️

Now I know her and I love her 💗 Grace VanderWaal
The Gift to make sad PPL happy have not much Artists on ouer Planet,but Grace have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You she cant be her cause simom owes her!
Cover of what? Isn't this an original?
Grace you are the first singer thats caught my ear in 38 years.
This is so incredibly soulful and beautiful. Grace conveys such emotion when she sings. What is it about this young woman that grabs your heart and doesn't let go?

I wish she released an album of her covers. I want this song whenever and wherever.
Same her voice it’s just perfect
Grace, you are a beautiful human. Live long!
My gosh, Grace is literally like the most beautiful on Earth.
If this doesn't move your soul there may be something wrong with you. Grace you are a beautiful soul with a God given talent.

I lost count of how many times I listened to this song and it's never with a dry eye .......
Same here with tears listening to that song. Listen to it 100+times with heart pounding results
She is quickly moving into a league of her own
And leaving the rest of the pack behind. Wow.
Man this girl is going to be something special in the future. Right now she's just at her peak finding her voice but after that Leon Bridgs she might be the truth

Fabulous isn't it? Have you checked her whole album, Just The Beginning? Try the track Darkness Keeps Chasing Me (but have a box of tissues handy). Don't forget to buy it too!
My god this is just beautiful. I can't say much more than that.
That girl is a musical instrument from head to toe... amazing!
Seriously now, how does a little girl have the ability to put her heart and soul into a song? Well Grace does. I'm a die hard metal rocker until I see a grace video and then I get lost for those few minutes she allows her voice to penetrate your soul. I had open heart surgery and the previous night I spent it listening to Grace's two CDs and she truly soothed this old man's heart and soul.
Good convalescence ! Please recover completely again ! Grace is a wonderful remedy.
so many people find medicine in her music
She is fabulous.
Grace Vanderwaal's talent is the gift that Jesus gave her for all of us to enjoy.
She has a really beautiful voice
She is a Angel. Can anyone else's see it ..it doesn't matter what she sings I feel safe......How some one so young understands the world true the words of her music.. She is a Angel that's why.....
anyone who could possibly give this performance a thumbs down must really really hate there own lives she is the best pure talent on the planet
Glad I lived long enough to see her. She is going to be something!
It's nearly 2 years since I first saw this video. Every time I listen/watch, even today, I tear up. I know this is a cover and I have watched/listened to the original, but in this video Grace owns this song. I am not religious, but she is still singing my words of humility and apology for failing to be the best I could have been when I should have been. But can there be any human alive who can sing this song of redemption with so much heart and soul that it makes me/us believe that there is forgiveness and grace, better than Grace?!? What a gift Grace Vanderwaal is to us imperfect humans!!!
So very well said.
Oh my God... she sings with a life full of knowledge and experiences. But she is only thirteen.
Love you Grace...💐
She is exceptional. If you have noticed her audiences, they are a wide range of ppl. Not just children. She inspires through her gift. And what a gift!! Love u Grace!
As a female musician, I started writing songs when I was 12 years old. I too would write with an emotional intensity that I barely could explain. Call it the old soul of the musician if you will. I can not to this day, at 53 years of age, tell you where my lyrics came from. Yet I know for sure I wasn't disturbed or depressed. Somehow musicians have ways of getting into the character, or feeling of a time and place that we personally never experienced. Grace is becoming exactly what we want from artists. She evokes emotion and tells stories that captivate us! Thank you Grace, and thank you to her parents who raised a beautiful young lady, and her beautiful sister who supports her. May she continue to prosper under the guidance of her loving family. I know I will continue to follow her career closely and enjoy her music at many times during my day.
I had a similar experience but I'd give up my art to be able to play an instrument. Too me Grace is Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan with a personality, they wrote and conveyed their songs well but the appeared dead inside to me. Grace is total personality you can't help but cry as she cries and laugh as she laughs
A Fanderwaal described Grace's ability to write beyond her years or life experience as empathetic extrapolation. She said that at 12 or 13 she wrote some songs from what she saw in movies, or people she knew. Channelled her empathy for them, and extrapolated it into a full feeling. Her intelligence and emotional intelligence is also needed to make this work.
@@donjones4719 Wow Don, that was a great definition of her talent, thanks for sharing! I never thought of the experience of writing in such clear terms, but that does make total sense to me. I suppose in many ways, as adult artists, we also continue to do that. Appreciate your thoughtful response.
Loved her from the first time I saw her on AGT. She's growing up and progressing musically exactly the way I hoped she would. Her voice is one of the VERY few that actually evokes an emotional response in me that brings tears. OH, and she's from my home town, Suffern, NY! Which is SO cool!!!!

well said
Tux Edo thank you! Its true!
I know the feeling :)
and she just keeps getting better and better...
she's so pretty stan the queen
Grace is completely amazing. Not just for a girl her age. Just amazing for any age, any artist. And she has the best fashion style. How does she have it all together at her age? I was barely dressing my self at that age compared to her.
2:42 Pure soul right there.
Spot on
Understand something: a talent like this graces us every two generations or so. She’s older than she thinks she is
and is older than you give her credit for.
In an era like this with hip hop rap and whatever that is that Ariana is doing an artist that can do almost any genre has to follow the trend to stay alive. If Mozart appeared today only a limited amount would know
I could listen to this forever☺️
From " I don't know my name."
To river .....wow..!!!! Grace u r a national treasure .
This old soul is going to have an impact on this world that is much bigger than just music.
This is one of my favorite cover songs. She not only sings from her heart, she sings from her soul.
I love how she’s defying her age by succeeding before society says you can succeed ... like I’m 16 and I’ve just been raised to think that once I’m 18 I can start living and creating and being free to do what I want. But she’s what, 14? And she’s doing just that. It’s just great and inspiring.
