Gwendolyn Heights her voice is so unique and her music is so genuine, I can imagine that she wouldn't even have to practice and Grace would still be amazing
THIS IS REAL TALENT. Grace you are such an inspiration, I'm your age and yet I'm stuck at school figuring how to solve algebra equations, while you are free as a bird, writing beautiful songs, and letting your imagination go wild. You are EXTREMLY lucky to be Grace VanderWaal, to have that lovely voice NO one will EVER replace. Keep your BRILLIANT work, and like you say in your song, NO ONE will break you, carry on with that gorgeous smile of yours, keep your head up, and live your life to the fullest, because you will reach your goals. I LOVE YOU GRACE
And in a recent video she says she writes her songs in 1-2 hours. If it takes more than 2 hours she thinks it's not good and throws them away. It's crazy.
Arnold I am Rudy Rimmer maybe she doesn't work alone. But mind u im not saying its a bad thing. Im 12 too and I love her so much. Wish I could sing like her. And I hope she thanks God for her voice each day.
Lost my sister to suicide.. Miss her so damn bad.. Still feels unreal.. Haven't been sleeping much until last night, finally got some decent rest.. The wake is today.. I'm a little nervous to see her in the casket.. Funeral tomorrow.. Been listening to this on repeat all week.. Thank you for this song Ms. VanderWaal, it has been my saving Grace. Peace, Love, Light - Zach Van Harris JR
Thank you James, seriously, means so much. My family and I are healing everyday and people like you have been a big part of that healing process! I thank every star in the Universe for people like you! Thank you for existing! Peace & One Love my friend - Zach
I appreciate you Mia, your words bring so much comfort and continued support during this season. The videos on my page are my daily visual journals, chronicling the storms, sometimes quite literally that we've been going through in life. Lately, it's been beautiful weather in our lives and we will not let our sister name or legacy be forgotten. She is a beautiful soul that gave her all to make people feel better, to smile, to be heard and to be in good company---not alone. Peace Love Smiles to you @mia - Zach
I'm so sorry, please remain strong. I know this situation is really tough specially when talking about family, but God is with you no matter on what situation you are even when you think He is not with you. You and your family will be on my prayers. YOU ARE STRONG 💪
Truly a girl and voice from above!! True story. My best bud and I are both 43 years old. Couple weeks back we were chilling having some beers and I asked my bro if he had ever heard Grace sing. He looked at me wtf are you talking bout. I'm all just shut up and listen foo. So, I found Grace on RUclips and started playing. It's weird. Especially more in the beginning my eyes would tear up everytime I heard Grace sing. Including that night with my bro. Her music just makes me feel that good. Never has this ever happened to me with any other singer or song. Anyways as soon as "I Don't Know My Name" started playing my buds eyes popped open and his jaw hit the ground. After the song was over he turned to me and said. "Bro, that little girl right there just renewed my hope for this world" we listened to every song I could find that night. Grace, you truly are a girl with a voice from above. Your gift that you have been given is very powerful. You renew people's faith in mankind. Remember, this is coming from a 43 year old that's a country and Rock kind of man. Just stay the course. You truly are a gift from above. 🌹👍
Yep, Old enough to be your papa and couldn't agree more. I have respect for many things and people but for years I have said my respect for talent IN people is the toughest respect to get from me. From the first AGT - "Don't know my name" I've been amazed and showing virtually everyone I know this young lady of talent. Most pure talent of my lifetime. Grace is the first artist I have ever prayed for. Prayed she will NOT allow others to change her. She is doing just great herself and with her family support.
I'm so glad her music wasn't edited and autotuned too much. I was scared her voice would be drowned by heavy beats or back up singers. But no, this is perfection.
@@jj.h1388 no, read again. She said Grace was 12 when she wrote il.. She wrote this when she was at amg and if have good memories it was her final song
i always felt like there was this kind of subliminal longing for this the person she sings about, as if even tho he bullied her, she kinda liked him and that made it hurt more? idk how to explain it properly, but thats the impression im left with

I have been bullied so long and I have cared what people think of me until I heard this song. It changed me now I stand up for me and other people! This song changed me and I will always keep that with me!
I listen to this song, and think about myself, and how it reflects me. I have been bullied from kindergarten to his point, and I'm in 8th grade, and I haven't heard such a perfect song to represent my life. But the sad thing it, I have tried to build myself on the hate, and how to change myself. But I realized, it wasn't me. And it made me feel worse, so I tore those people out of my life. And now I've done that, my life has been so much better! Off the topic, but Grace you inspire me everyday, and you voice gives me chills every time I listen to your songs! You make me smile, I love you and your story grace
Yeah, this song reflects my whole life so much. I wrote the sentence, "Your first mistake was trying to tear her down in the hallway, but little did you she wasn't built to break." on my locker at the high school, on all of my sketchbooks and everyday it empowered me at school. 😊 Even though this is two months old- I felt like I needed to respond
I have a little message to Grace. Honestly, your singing and songwriting skills...are genius. You're truly going somewhere, and that's fame. There is something so beautiful and real about you that is so incredible. You blow my mind, really. The way you sing is so insanely unique and nobody is alike to you because you are so special in your own way. You seem to put off your own aura, kind of. Like, a beamy, happy aura. It just amazes me. I know you might not see this, but, Grace. You are truly special. _And everyone here loves you so much._ _Your fan,_ _~Sage_
Now this is a song. No sex, money, power, swearing, auto tune, repetitiveness, or meaningless lyrics. This here has a beautiful message delivered with a purely passionate voice. And you can't get any better than that. ❤️
This inspired me At my school we had a talent show and this girl she sung this and that's how I know. She sang it so good and she got my whole school to clap to her during the song with has NEVER happened at my school. Turns out she was bullied. Just to let you know she is not bullied any more :D have a good day person who is scrolling through the comments
She has this amazing thing about her. Her voice is natural, perfectly imperfect, and so calm. She puts meaningful lyrics in her songs, and because of her hard work, she's greatly liked by us(me included😀). I love this song because it's saying that you can't shape or change her like clay. We ❤️️ you, Grace!
I know most won't read this but I need to go on a little rant. It breaks my heart to see comments saying "she didn't deserve to win agt, or she's not even good" I know that most of the comments are positive but I hate when people come to her RUclips channel just to right something mean. Grace definitely did deserve to win agt because she is an amazing singer, very talented at writing songs, and she has such a great personality that draws people to her. People may say that they have heard better singers but she is 12 years old. This is just the beginning for her. She is so brave to put herself out there and perform in front of all those people at 12 years old. I know lots of people think that she has such an easy life now because she has a celebrity but she had to work hard to get to the spot she is at now and she still continues to work harder and harder each day. While she is going through all this success she also has to keep time to be a kid. And I think she will become very successful so people STOP HATING and let's be more kind to each other. I know most people didn't read this but i just needed to go on this little rant.
Lauren Stokes I read every word and Yes, she did deserve to win. I have been observing ever since her audition. After viewing her youtube channel, it suddenly struck me that she was special in a way that is incomprehensible. Her likeability Factor is off the scale. She is everything rolled into one. Those hate comments are mostly Trolls fueled by jealousy or rage that their favorite contestant did not win. But, I have seen conversions (miracles). Where once Grace haters became Grace lovers. She is extremely unique and is gaining worldwide recognition. Ironically, Grace Vanderwaal does not even know how talented she is. She is just a child.
I just really wished that someone who wasn't a singer got the chance to win. It didn't really seem fair that the majority of the time a singer won. Other people need the chance to prove themselves. I'll admit she IS a good singer though, but just wanted something different.
HannahTheOriginal I understand your concern, but it's a talent show and singing and song writing is a talent. Also, it's all about ratings. ATG was in the decline. When Simon Cowell returned to save the show he insisted in more singers. He knew singers are popular, not magic acts. As a result ATG rebounded with tremendous ratings.
It's a song that doesn't get tired no matter how many times you listen to it. The lyrics are good, but the melody is clear and it's a very attractive song. I can't help but admire your ability to write and compose such music at a young age. I hope Grace will further develop and contribute to the development of music.
hurts me to think that grace has once been bullied enough to write this song. i dont get why anyone would bully someone as amazing as her. shes perfect
LPSinfinity ikr!!! Ppl in this world are horrible!!! My aunt is sitting next to me and she said it sounded sick, and to turn it off!!!!! >:( She said "Turn in something WORTH listening to!" UGH I HATE IT!!!!
Dear Grace VanderWaal, this song feels like my life! I am a singer, I hope to go on AGT season 13 (if they even have one) my friends and people at school try to make me someone that I'm not. Thank you for writing songs and inspiring young singers like me.😊
I'll be rooting for you WHEN you get up there! Even if when is a while away! I could never stand in front of the judges and the crowd, so I root for young singers that do!
I'm just gonna come straight out and tell my feelings. Many people are always saying she's so unique and incredible as a 12 year old. Okay here are my thoughts. Grace is more than talented. Grace is powerful. Grace can do anything she puts her mind to. She changes how people think daily by singing and using her gift. She is more than unique. She is not the new Taylor Swift. She is Grace Vanderwaal, because that is why she is so special. She is being herself. Grace is rare and beautiful just by being herself. I'm just going to say being yourself is the very best thing you could ever choose to do in life. Just look where it got Grace. (:
I'm not a huge fan of her voice but I really admire her for being able to make her own music at such a young age and for staying true to herself even after getting famous. I see lots of potential for her in the future. She's already writing great songs now I can't even imagine what her songs will be like in the future.
Park Jamin This comment makes me really happy, you can still be really positive about something even if you're not a huge fan of it. The world could use more civility like that.
Missy Blue same haha! Im so proud and happy for her and how far she has come at such a young age but I am so jealous of her voice. Its beautiful in how unique and scratchy it is
grace is so amazing she is going to be a superstar someday. as a 12 year old girl who really wants to learn how to sing, this is incredibly inspiring. thank you so much grace!! 😀
Grace deserves all the fame unlike all though other 13/14 year old stars who don't have talent and think they can do everything and use WAY to much autotune but grace does not and she is sooooo talented
Emma Finan I didn't say anybody's names and I'm just saying that it's so easy for kids to get famous even with no talent and I'm not giving examples but grace is so good
I had gotten bulled for so long and "i don't know my name" and this song just make me believe that words can't tear me down. Grace inspires me so much. I have now started to write my own songs and always listen to her songs, and I don't let anything bring me down.
For everyone, every girl/boy who has ever been mocked, bullied for being outside the so called "common box" I dedicate 100 times this song. Thanks to you Grâce... Couldn't find better, focused and simple words to describe it
I'm 12 and I see all these 12 year olds becoming successful because of how talented they are and I'm just here listening to kpop and watching anime....what am I doing with life
_Trying to tear her down was your first mistake. 'Cause little do you know, she wasn't built to break._ What a legend. She may be younger than me, but I honestly look up to her so much. She's such an amazing role model
I LOVE you Grace Vanderwaal, you are a HUGE inspiration, And you are what caused me write songs. And I could come up with 1000 reasons why you are such an inspiration, but so this isn't 5 hours long, let's keep it at that
Panic! At the Crystal Piløts here's my argument, is it the song of this thirteen year old that's getting a billion views or even hundred millions? or it the song by adults? yeah thought so, the adults write based on the consumers so if those are the types of songs people want that's what they write can't blame them can you
Ignacio Mojarro Yes I can blame them. Nobody forces them to write shitty songs, it was their choice. If they wanted to decline what everybody was asking them to write, they could of. But they didn't, and went with the crowd. Grace didn't. That's why she's got millions of views.
This actually made me cry! Because I get bullied a lot and I hurt a lot! Man this needs to be made into a music video! With a girl in school and people pushing her around, but she gets back up and never gives up!! She keeps going!! This is so beautiful
TheGreenPrince 02 I see what you mean, but I think they meant that her being only 14 doesn't hinder her talent and meaningfulness. People say that only adults can take this stuff seriously and because she's so young, she doesn't understand anything, but no adult could write lyrics in such an inspiring way.
I recently stood up to the bullies who have been ruining my life for the past few years, and the week after, I sang this for my summer concert. Thank you so much, Grace, your songs have helped me pull through, and I'm actually so thankful for everything that you have indirectly done to change my life! Miracles can happen, and you are the best one that has happened to me ever! xx
Grace, I have been having the worst year of my life. In all my school situations, I have been bullied. Most nights during the past 5 years I have been sitting in my bed, thinking, hoping sometime, ANYTHING would just kill me. But through it all my friends, family and..you have helped me. I love to sing. This summer I'm home alone most of the time so I sing, SING and SING and SING! Please email me or something, I know your probably busy but I was hoping maybe we could talk. Last year I found the school of my dreams. At first when I visited this girl was so nice to me, we hung out while I was there.... and then I joined the school and that's when everything changed. Yes I became popular and she didn't like that so she turned everyone against me, including my friends, teachers and even my parents at some points but I made it out alive. I am a survivor... but I'm not out of the clear yet.. i may have quit the school but I still have my whole life ahead of me!! I won't let it bother me!! I am strong!!!!!!!!
AMAZING SONG. CAN'T STOP SINGING THIS. LOVE YOU GRACE KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING. HOPE TO SEE YOU ONE DAY. LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
grace is an angel, she has helped me get ahead and keep away all those people who hurt me, I am from Mexico but Grace's heart breaks borders and penetrates hearts in such a magical way i love you grace vanderwaal bless you ❤️
Grace, whether you read this or not, I want to say something to you. I’m a girl very similar to your age, and your songs are so inspiring and I listen and sing them so much, because they help me live on. They give me confidence, especially Clay. You are unbelievably talented and I wish you the best of the future! Keep writing! Keep being you! 🙂
I wish this song came out when i was in 3rd grade :( I got bullied almost every week in my new school. Just because I’m small doesn’t mean I’m not strong. Be brave and don’t let bullies keep u down. 💪
Yeah, I'm 4;11 but I'm a little package of ferocious energy! Don't be worried about being small... just tell yourself that good things come in small packages
i wish i was like you it's like when ever i move is just getting me different bullies i already moved twice and i still think that the bully i have now is just annoying
I feel like this is one of those songs one day you will say to ur kids "there was this great artist wanna hear a song from her!?" And the kid will say"NOOO" but then u make them any way then they end up loving it!!!!!😂♥️♥️♥️♥️
Savannah Centeral 2 My parents introduced me to so many great artists, I'm sure I'll do the same with my kids 😉 btw Grace is one piece of hope I still have for this era of music....
I know it was a compliment. I just don't think that people should be "reminded" of someone else when they see her. I personally think she is a little bit like Sia, but she is a lot more like Grace Vanderwaal :)
You're taking this too seriously Music And Me. So what if people reminded her of Sia? Compliment or not, it's their choices and beliefs. Don't tell someone to shut up just because they have a different view to yours. "I personally think.." Okay, that's you. Go make a comment about that somewhere else without dragging people down, hypocrite much.
What you realize as you get older though, is that hurtful words mean very little. Grace is 12 and she already knows this. How can such a young woman possess such wisdom? Incredible. Just incredible.

How does a 12 year old come up with something as deep and powerful as "I'm not clay"? She leaves me awe struck
Ikr
And in a recent video she says she writes her songs in 1-2 hours. If it takes more than 2 hours she thinks it's not good and throws them away. It's crazy.

have you ever seen a person as beautiful as you? its nice to see someone so positive especially when it come to RUclips commenters
Now this is a song. No sex, money, power, swearing, auto tune, repetitiveness, or meaningless lyrics. This here has a beautiful message delivered with a purely passionate voice. And you can't get any better than that. ❤️
Madisyn D Shes 13, If she sings about sex, there would be a serious problem in my generation
Actually, there's a lot of repetitiveness (not hating)
Madisyn D Amen!
You don't know much about 13 year olds nowadays do you?
Yeah, but it's meaningfull repitiveness. It is required to convey the power of this song
Its amazing how young and old people listen to her music and they like it
Razan A ikr!! i liked the AGT version way more it had like more energy and stuff
Razan A Dito
Razan A yes i think the made buetiful thing not fun bc they made it slow

@@tommymount5709 no you 😤😤 lol
This inspired me
At my school we had a talent show and this girl she sung this and that's how I know. She sang it so good and she got my whole school to clap to her during the song with has NEVER happened at my school. Turns out she was bullied. Just to let you know she is not bullied any more :D have a good day person who is scrolling through the comments
Awe cute
True words :3
koooot
Omg Jack Avery is your profile pic😂
She has this amazing thing about her. Her voice is natural, perfectly imperfect, and so calm. She puts meaningful lyrics in her songs, and because of her hard work, she's greatly liked by us(me included😀). I love this song because it's saying that you can't shape or change her like clay. We ❤️️ you, Grace!
I know most won't read this but I need to go on a little rant. It breaks my heart to see comments saying "she didn't deserve to win agt, or she's not even good" I know that most of the comments are positive but I hate when people come to her RUclips channel just to right something mean. Grace definitely did deserve to win agt because she is an amazing singer, very talented at writing songs, and she has such a great personality that draws people to her. People may say that they have heard better singers but she is 12 years old. This is just the beginning for her. She is so brave to put herself out there and perform in front of all those people at 12 years old. I know lots of people think that she has such an easy life now because she has a celebrity but she had to work hard to get to the spot she is at now and she still continues to work harder and harder each day. While she is going through all this success she also has to keep time to be a kid. And I think she will become very successful so people STOP HATING and let's be more kind to each other. I know most people didn't read this but i just needed to go on this little rant.
There just jealous they have not accomplished as much at 12 as she has
Lauren Stokes I read every word and Yes, she did deserve to win. I have been observing ever since her audition. After viewing her youtube channel, it suddenly struck me that she was special in a way that is incomprehensible. Her likeability Factor is off the scale. She is everything rolled into one. Those hate comments are mostly Trolls fueled by jealousy or rage that their favorite contestant did not win. But, I have seen conversions (miracles). Where once Grace haters became Grace lovers. She is extremely unique and is gaining worldwide recognition. Ironically, Grace Vanderwaal does not even know how talented she is. She is just a child.
I just really wished that someone who wasn't a singer got the chance to win. It didn't really seem fair that the majority of the time a singer won. Other people need the chance to prove themselves. I'll admit she IS a good singer though, but just wanted something different.
Singers have only won it twice so no singers don't always win also I consider Grace a songwriter first that is a talent too
HannahTheOriginal I understand your concern, but it's a talent show and singing and song writing is a talent. Also, it's all about ratings. ATG was in the decline. When Simon Cowell returned to save the show he insisted in more singers. He knew singers are popular, not magic acts. As a result ATG rebounded with tremendous ratings.
Who still loves Grace Vanderwaal in 2021?
Me!!!! I started listening to her like last week and I love her
OMG YASSSSSS
MEEEE
Meeeeeeee omg! I really love her!
Marta me
this made me cry this is such a strong song
Tashi Christopher glad I'm not the only one
just watched "Next Gen." this song is amazing. your voice is amazing
best wishes to ya =))
Did you hear clearly at the end it was nice to hear some grace songs in a movie
Yesssss
who was your fav character in Next Gen mine was Momo
itsRaining Cuties she's gone through so much
Mono is hilarious
This is my favourite song by her ❤
Alice Spencer same she is so powerful
Alice Spencer this and moonlight in my opinion
Alice Spencer she is a songwriter with some awsome songs btw im one to in my "World"
I like this too and I am playing Clay at the same time as Gossip Girl they have the same message sorta.
My favourite is Moonlight
It's a song that doesn't get tired no matter how many times you listen to it. The lyrics are good, but the melody is clear and it's a very attractive song. I can't help but admire your ability to write and compose such music at a young age. I hope Grace will further develop and contribute to the development of music.
hurts me to think that grace has once been bullied enough to write this song. i dont get why anyone would bully someone as amazing as her. shes perfect
LPSinfinity or bully anyone
LPSinfinity ikr!!! Ppl in this world are horrible!!! My aunt is sitting next to me and she said it sounded sick, and to turn it off!!!!! >:( She said "Turn in something WORTH listening to!" UGH I HATE IT!!!!
LPSinfinity maybe jealousy
LPSinfinity She is definitely not perfect
Mckenna Flinders ?? Wut
Dear Grace VanderWaal, this song feels like my life! I am a singer, I hope to go on AGT season 13 (if they even have one) my friends and people at school try to make me someone that I'm not. Thank you for writing songs and inspiring young singers like me.😊
If they aré making you are not. ,they are no friends
Graciela Gonzalez That was whise👍
you will make it keep trying Ellie i hope i see you on season 13. good luck
I'll be rooting for you WHEN you get up there! Even if when is a while away! I could never stand in front of the judges and the crowd, so I root for young singers that do!
Singing is My Thing /Ellie_Kallus :3
Every time she sings it makes me cry,, idek why she is just so talented.
Tis her soul relation? The lil girl in ne man Lmao
Maanya Dewan I feel the same way like you
Isaac Cunningham n
Makes me cry too... From pain... Where did the good music go???
ikr you don't find music like this anymore. She's bringing back music from my child hood. THANK YOU GRACE!!!
“She wasn’t built to break” Grace Vanderwaal
Love that phrase
My first song ruclips.net/video/i6x30dX_uHo/видео.html ♡
I can't describe how much this song means to me xx
The meaning of this song means a lot to me. Thank you.
I admire this song , literally one of my favs of 2016 😍💯💜
Wowww incredible
queen R Hi everyone 😀
Please Help Me.. Please watch my channel.. if you like.. Please subscribe ❤ Thank you 😊
Me too
queen R
Agree!!! I LOVE her and her songs so much!!
+Leo Slayz I checked it out and I was wondering, this is a serious question, are you deaf or partially deaf?
In 10 years, after she blows up, newcomers will go back thru her history and will be blown away by her early work.
This girl puts so much meaning in her songs it's so pleasure to listen ♡
just a FREAK true
I'm just gonna come straight out and tell my feelings. Many people are always saying she's so unique and incredible as a 12 year old. Okay here are my thoughts. Grace is more than talented. Grace is powerful. Grace can do anything she puts her mind to. She changes how people think daily by singing and using her gift. She is more than unique. She is not the new Taylor Swift. She is Grace Vanderwaal, because that is why she is so special. She is being herself. Grace is rare and beautiful just by being herself. I'm just going to say being yourself is the very best thing you could ever choose to do in life. Just look where it got Grace. (:
Agree
Grace Musial lrp
True tho
YESSSS
But, what about you?
I'm not a huge fan of her voice but I really admire her for being able to make her own music at such a young age and for staying true to herself even after getting famous. I see lots of potential for her in the future. She's already writing great songs now I can't even imagine what her songs will be like in the future.
Park Jamin This comment makes me really happy, you can still be really positive about something even if you're not a huge fan of it. The world could use more civility like that.
Kudos to you, someone who can see the good and the bad and be real about it take a bow sir
Park Jamin thanks for staying positive! Even if your not a huge fan you still think the positive side about her
I don’t know how many times I cry when I listen this song.
Thank you Grace...you are saving my mind.
Her lyrics are totally relatable and help you get through any stress i have. Im a suicidal person and her music helps so much.
lil.shortyy.leahh God Bless You, I will pray for you, just remember he is always here for you❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻
lil.shortyy.leahh
**You are important, you are needed and you deserve to be here. **🌹💋
Janj
Don't commit suicide! You are beautiful and you are here for a reason❤ Suicide doesn't end pain, it just spreads it to all the people that love you.
lil.shortyy.levi
The lyrics is real en her voice is so unique ❤ The style how she sings is awesome❤
Sky Potter idk! :)
Ahmad Abdallah Do you even know that idk means: i dont know??
Sky Potter do you even know that the word know isn't spelt 'now'?
Twentyonepityparties Sorry, but i can make a little mistake in my comment, do you understand?
Sky Potter it is actually really close to Melanie Martinez style
I hate how talented she is,but i also love her because of how talented she is,am I the only one who feels this way??
Someone once said LOVE and HATE are horns on the same goat.
Yeah. I feel happy for her but I'm so fucking jealous lol 😂
Missy Blue hun..that is call jealous ... dont worry soon you have a talent that is better than grace
Missy Blue same haha! Im so proud and happy for her and how far she has come at such a young age but I am so jealous of her voice. Its beautiful in how unique and scratchy it is
Missy Blue
Her vocal when she sings loud sounds wierd as f. 😅
Her voice is so beautiful. Every time I hear it I’m awestruck.
grace is so amazing she is going to be a superstar someday. as a 12 year old girl who really wants to learn how to sing, this is incredibly inspiring. thank you so much grace!! 😀
one day? she already is.. look up what she won after America-s got talent 😉
Abass Aziz true!!;
izzie taylor she is. A. Superstar!
izzie taylor not gonna be, She Is!
izzie taylor she already knows how to sing
Grace deserves all the fame unlike all though other 13/14 year old stars who don't have talent and think they can do everything and use WAY to much autotune but grace does not and she is sooooo talented
***Sorry all those 13/14
Steven André *Jacob Sartorius*
Steven André you dont need to bring people down to lift others up...
Emma Finan I didn't say anybody's names and I'm just saying that it's so easy for kids to get famous even with no talent and I'm not giving examples but grace is so good
Emma Finan he was just stating his opinion. You don't have to bring him down😂😂
Man she is 13 and she won america's got talent she ALWAYS blows me away i love ALL her songs keep being you Grace!
I had gotten bulled for so long and "i don't know my name" and this song just make me believe that words can't tear me down. Grace inspires me so much. I have now started to write my own songs and always listen to her songs, and I don't let anything bring me down.
For everyone, every girl/boy who has ever been mocked, bullied for being outside the so called "common box" I dedicate 100 times this song. Thanks to you Grâce... Couldn't find better, focused and simple words to describe it
I love her crispy voice ❣💕
Sophia Matos why don't u eat it
I'm 12 and I see all these 12 year olds becoming successful because of how talented they are and I'm just here listening to kpop and watching anime....what am I doing with life
K-pop Trash lmao me but I'm 14
Same, bro. You're not alone. Except I'm older than you lol (Hey, if you're into K-Pop, you should watch BgA Dong Saya Dae).
Jeena Mathew ( I'll make sure to listen to their songs later :D)
K-pop Trash No it's just a K-Pop Parody it's not an actual band lol
Jeena Mathew oh ok 😂😂😂😂
She´s marvelous, simply a prodigy. My little daughter loves Grace, she can't stop listening to her songs.
Well done Grace.
this is real music no joke such a young beautiful girl came up with the most powerful lyrics ever
more like one of the most powerful lyrics there tons of other artist that have tons of powerful words but she up there with them
Summer Time PREACH
I like her voice because it doesn't sound like it's trying to be perfect. It's sounds like it's from the soul.
Sierra Winston yes you get it some dont but you do
its not from th soul you ididot its from her mouth
burger lover settle down burger boy
_Trying to tear her down was your first mistake. 'Cause little do you know, she wasn't built to break._
What a legend. She may be younger than me, but I honestly look up to her so much. She's such an amazing role model
hands down one of her best songs ever imo, i just loove it sm
I'm a guy and actually this isn't the kind of music I listen to but she just changed my mind.
JCrawl what does your gender have to do with it, exactly?
Mimi_Games The type of music he listens to: a stereotype
Well, actually I prefer HipHop but as I said, I seriously enjoy her voice.
JCrawl Cool and just asking how old are you?
19 years old.
I will never understand how she does this. She sound so beautiful. She is literally perfection. Love you Grace 💖💞💕
I LOVE you Grace Vanderwaal, you are a HUGE inspiration, And you are what caused me write songs. And I could come up with 1000 reasons why you are such an inspiration, but so this isn't 5 hours long, let's keep it at that
The_AMAZING_derp JR. Hi
The_AMAZING_derp JR. SAME
hi
And, Harley Quinn, you go girl
The song and the comments make me cry. I really needed this song. Grace has a beautiful voice and personality.
A twelve year old girl can write better songs then a lot of the songs written by adults on the radio.
Panic! At the Crystal Piløts JISHWA
marilyns chemical manson TYJO
Panic! At the Crystal Piløts TYJO'S ALL GROWN UP NOW
Panic! At the Crystal Piløts here's my argument, is it the song of this thirteen year old that's getting a billion views or even hundred millions? or it the song by adults? yeah thought so, the adults write based on the consumers so if those are the types of songs people want that's what they write can't blame them can you
Ignacio Mojarro Yes I can blame them. Nobody forces them to write shitty songs, it was their choice. If they wanted to decline what everybody was asking them to write, they could of. But they didn't, and went with the crowd. Grace didn't. That's why she's got millions of views.
One prob with this song.....it stops😭
omg good joke
ikr
Not if you put it on loop 😉
It ends
Just listen 10 hour version if there is one
This actually made me cry! Because I get bullied a lot and I hurt a lot! Man this needs to be made into a music video! With a girl in school and people pushing her around, but she gets back up and never gives up!! She keeps going!! This is so beautiful
Giovanni Salinas Is that a serious question?
Yep. Sadly, it seems like you can never get away from bullies no matter how old you are
lol
Giovanni Salinas well bullying is real! It's very very real
Kayla Clarity Stay strong❤️
You've just touched so many lives young lady, please dont change, stay true to yourself and your fans will love you always
Because of Grace, I know 2017 is going to be golden
:3
Edit: I know I already said this on another video xD
ItsJust Lientje!! agreed
ItsJust Lientje!! don't forget that Melanie and Katy will realese new albums
II Diro II Katy who?
Katy perry
Yeak but I can't wait for katy's one I like katy more
It's damn clear that age doesn't mean a freaking thing💕
No adult came up with such powerful words.
Vinita Susan Babu you do realize that’s a contradiction, right?
TheGreenPrince 02 I see what you mean, but I think they meant that her being only 14 doesn't hinder her talent and meaningfulness. People say that only adults can take this stuff seriously and because she's so young, she doesn't understand anything, but no adult could write lyrics in such an inspiring way.
Ever since I saw your first performed center on AGT I have been absolutely in love with your voice and how your songs have a message
me too!!!!!!!!
I recently stood up to the bullies who have been ruining my life for the past few years, and the week after, I sang this for my summer concert. Thank you so much, Grace, your songs have helped me pull through, and I'm actually so thankful for everything that you have indirectly done to change my life! Miracles can happen, and you are the best one that has happened to me ever! xx
I adore how the reality in her voice and in the words relate and inspire
this is what I call TALENT
that's something Howie for Americas got talent would say
Grace, I have been having the worst year of my life. In all my school situations, I have been bullied. Most nights during the past 5 years I have been sitting in my bed, thinking, hoping sometime, ANYTHING would just kill me. But through it all my friends, family and..you have helped me. I love to sing. This summer I'm home alone most of the time so I sing, SING and SING and SING! Please email me or something, I know your probably busy but I was hoping maybe we could talk. Last year I found the school of my dreams. At first when I visited this girl was so nice to me, we hung out while I was there.... and then I joined the school and that's when everything changed. Yes I became popular and she didn't like that so she turned everyone against me, including my friends, teachers and even my parents at some points but I made it out alive.
I am a survivor... but I'm not out of the clear yet.. i may have quit the school but I still have my whole life ahead of me!! I won't let it bother me!!
I am strong!!!!!!!!
Stay strong :)
Strawberry_Slimes 19 I'm sorry your being bullied but try not to let them bring you down.
Strawberry_Slimes 19 I'm so dang EMOTIONALLY MESSED UP by that... you touched my heart ❤️
Awww thanks
Strawberry_Slimes 19 wow. That oart about your school like a part from a movie. Im glad you survived. P.s. dont forget to thank God about it.
Its just a miracle that at such a tender age of 12 someone can sing as well as write such an inspirational song 😍
This girl is amazing!!
Rafael Carrazco ikr!? Clay is my favourite song :)
Rafael Carrazco i tottaly agree!
Senthil Arihant it's my favorite music too

Hi
I love this song!!!!!!! And I love you Grace I hope I see you one day
She used to be so cute and shy around the camera and now she's grown up and she is very interactive around the camera
grace is an angel, she has helped me get ahead and keep away all those people who hurt me, I am from Mexico but Grace's heart breaks borders and penetrates hearts in such a magical way i love you grace vanderwaal bless you ❤️
You're a gift to the world little girl 🌌
If you were ever bullied as a kid,this really hits home....great song....
Grace, whether you read this or not, I want to say something to you. I’m a girl very similar to your age, and your songs are so inspiring and I listen and sing them so much, because they help me live on. They give me confidence, especially Clay. You are unbelievably talented and I wish you the best of the future! Keep writing! Keep being you! 🙂
My first song ruclips.net/video/i6x30dX_uHo/видео.html ♡
She is so strong and this song relates to a lot of people and if she experienced this I am so glad she is so strong love you so much grace
I wish this song came out when i was in 3rd grade :( I got bullied almost every week in my new school. Just because I’m small doesn’t mean I’m not strong. Be brave and don’t let bullies keep u down. 💪
Yeah, I'm 4;11 but I'm a little package of ferocious energy! Don't be worried about being small... just tell yourself that good things come in small packages
You’re better than them! Let them say whatever they wanna say, you know yourself way better than they know you :)
i wish i was like you it's like when ever i move is just getting me different bullies i already moved twice and i still think that the bully i have now is just annoying
usally i ignore bullies and i do my best i force myself from crying because if i cry it makes it worse and they bully me more
I’m 14 and I’m 4;5 this song changed my life
I'm crying tears of joy
Wolfhard Edits Why????
Mckenna Flinders Well, If you listened to the song you would understand
LPS child :33 Trust me I did but it's nothing to cry about
Wolfhard Edits don't cry just look at ure profile pucture
Dolan Edits aren't we all?
This video is so satisfying to me. Anyone else satisfied by this video?
Emma Hoene me
me too
I seriously can't tell how happy I am for this person to exist
I feel like this is one of those songs one day you will say to ur kids "there was this great artist wanna hear a song from her!?" And the kid will say"NOOO" but then u make them any way then they end up loving it!!!!!😂♥️♥️♥️♥️
Savannah Centeral 2 yasssss
Savannah Centeral 2 true
Savannah Centeral 2 LOL
This happened with Coldplay... and papa roach... and green day... and rascal flatts... yeah there are some bands I’m gonna show my kids
Savannah Centeral 2 My parents introduced me to so many great artists, I'm sure I'll do the same with my kids 😉 btw Grace is one piece of hope I still have for this era of music....
2:24 Trying to change my shape. Baby not today. Baby am not clay...This little girl is a amazing.
She reminds me of Sia; incredibly talented, unconventional, and with a beautifully childlike way to convey strong and deep messages through music.
Shut up. She reminds me of Grace Vanderwaal.
Music And Me I'm pretty sure they meant that as a compliment
I know it was a compliment. I just don't think that people should be "reminded" of someone else when they see her. I personally think she is a little bit like Sia, but she is a lot more like Grace Vanderwaal :)
You're taking this too seriously Music And Me. So what if people reminded her of Sia? Compliment or not, it's their choices and beliefs. Don't tell someone to shut up just because they have a different view to yours. "I personally think.." Okay, that's you. Go make a comment about that somewhere else without dragging people down, hypocrite much.
Lou Han she never told her to shut up she was just stating her opinion
Started appreciating this years later. Thank you, Grace 🫶
I see Grace in the hallway, I whisper to my friend, "She's amazing."
EDIT: i dont actually go to school with her 😂
yeah, sure. I would do same
Me too!!!♥💛💚💙💜❤
probably in neverland SAME
Annalee Klum oh no it's a joke we dont actually go to school with her 😂
Really, please ask her about when She is going to show a new disc?
she's so awesome. I love u Grace
cláudiando that profile photo😍
Br?
She won amaricas got talint
cláudiando br?
G=Graceful
R=Respectful
A=Amazing
C=Confident
E=Excellent
What you realize as you get older though, is that hurtful words mean very little. Grace is 12 and she already knows this. How can such a young woman possess such wisdom? Incredible. Just incredible.
I admire every song Grace writes. They are so meaningful and I relate to so many of them. Thank you Grace for letting us hear your beautiful songs 💕
Misstee13 😀
Why haven't she taken over the world? she is better than 99% of mainstream music.
her videos are beautiful too
trues
hoi its emily i think she did im from Saudi Arabia lots of people know her here
Ola Molla bless 👌
hoi its emily I personally prefer mainstream music. Her message is wonderful, but I still don't think her voice is good enough.
I’ve been bullied most of my life and have had suicidal thoughts but this song keeps me happy and living. Thanks Grace. 🙂
We’re grateful to have you with us.
This song means so much to me and many other people. So thank you Grace for this amazing song that isn't just music this is life. I love you Grace💝💝💝
