I don't know how you can smile, listening to that song. I cry every time I hear it. The rumor is that she wrote it in 30 minutes at the tail end of a recording session at the age of thirteen. She will turn 16 on January 15, 2020. I love Grace's voice but it is her writing that puts her at the top of my list. For my taste, she is without peer.
What blows my mind is that Grace is so amazing, but her songs aren't heard on any radio stations. Windex did a commercial with " Beautiful Thing " and it was one of the best music videos that I have ever seen. Why doesn't she get more exposure?
I WISH you could hear this on the radio! She wrote this when she was 13 in the summer of 2017, and this live performance was made in 2018 at the age of 14. She turned 15 a month ago and released a new single "Stray" last Friday. She's been kept from releasing new material for almost a year due to touring - opening for Imagine Dragons (!), and filming the adaptation of Jerry Spinelli's "Stargirl" in the leading role. You had the typical reaction that someone has who hasn't kept up with Grace since AGT, pleasantly surprised as to how much she has grown, physically, creatively, and vocally. You had a great reaction, I hope you delve further into both her old material and her new.

I´ve seen dozens of singers like Angelina Jordan. They pop up in certain talent shows every now and then. Maybe talented singers. Grace is incomparable and unparalleled. She writes her own songs, she is a really brilliant live performer, every time she does a cover, it´s better than the original. Her voice is hauntingly beautiful and unique. In my view, nothing comes close to her, no new "talent" which only can sing other peoples songs nor industry manufactured pop stars or hyped new teen wonders, which gett ripped off by the industry and are forgotten in a year. She maybe won´t have the commercial success of said singers, but she is the real deal and will be influential to music.
A truly sublime songwriter rivals writers 3 times her age. her melodies and bridges are iconic in structure . simple but multilayered in meaning. Really quite profound. And this child can project her essence into any song and make it one of a kind. All this at 15 years of age. Grace is a true definition of music itself. Thank you enjoyed your reaction even though it was edited LOL she will do that to you.
Thank you so much for that reaction. Word is that she wrote this song in 30 minutes at the end of a recording session when she was still 13. Those of us who love Grace, and there is a hard core group of "FanderWaals" out there, can not figure out why she doesn't get more airplay. Here is an example of one of her more upbeat songs. It is called "Florets". And she describes how it got its name. ruclips.net/video/JBwFrkkORPw/видео.html
Grace was 14 when she made this appearance. One of tomorrow's superstars. Don't know if it will be in pop, folk, or jazz, maybe all three, but she will be one of the greats.
Her songwriting ability is incredible! I can see her being asked to write songs for other artists in the future as well... and her voice is so unique. I can't wait to hear more. 😍
@@smylyface "oh nevermind its just me" is Grace's RUclips you will not be disappointed,originals and covers like "in my blood" that has received alot of praise. Enjoy
Not much to add to what has been posted except that as great as Grace is recorded....she is even better live....AND many artists cover other artists and do a good job...as was stated earlier....Grace covers a song and ....makes that song better. Her covers of Leon Bridges "River" and Shawn Mendes' "In My Blood" are truly epic.
Well you have stumbled into the Grace Zone. You evidently haven't been following her so you have a lot of catching up to do. This young lady is one of the true lyrical savant of the new generation. Any cover she does is generally considered better than the original. This is a powerful song for anyone to write and you add her voice to it and, well you heard. People have already told you to listen to Her cover of "River" by Leon Bridges for MTV and I highly recommend that you do.
Cal 99ers It’s crazy to me that some people just can’t see it, don’t feel it. How can I see it so easily, there’s really nothing special about me. Yet I knew from the beginning, as many others did, that the music for my world would never be the same again. I see her, plain and simply, the greatest artist I’ve ever had the privilege to listen to.
@@Cal99ers Angelina is a great singer , many love these child singers but they are singers few will be musicians creating there own sound from scratch, that is the rarest of talents yet few appreciate how rare that is
Yeah, the way Grace's live stage shows seem to be trending now, it would be a little out of place for her to perform this. Its too bad. This song is just not going to get heard all that much then. She wants to keep things hopping though so that she can dance and have the maximum amount of fun on stage. Songs like this one can kill the momentum at a concert where everyone just wants to have a good time. Such is reality :( Story - I was at a Crosby Stills and Nash concert once and mid concert they slowed it down to sing "Guenevierre", one of their greatest songs ever. Some in the audience though were not pleased, and one guy yelled "Rock and Roll" all through the song from high up in the stands. It got so bad that at one point, Crosby stopped singing and told him to "Shut the F*ck up"! But yeah, thats the danger in slowing it down during a great concert where everyone just wants to boogy. Every artist knows this.
Just found you. Great reactions. Grace wrote and recorded Darkness when she was 13. This performance was just after she turned 14. She's 15 now as of January. Her latest single Stray, released last week. She wrote it last summer while shooting for the title roll in the movie adaptation of Stargirl, by Jerry Spinelli. Here's the Stray video ruclips.net/video/6NwR8OfAnys/видео.html
No comparison whatsoever to the karaoke cover singers and even many of the inexplicably popular pop tarts who couldn't write a song of their own if their lives depended on it. For example, it took ten (10) people to crank out that dirge Havana. DKCM just took Grace. And you're correct in that her voice is getting more incredible with every new song. This is the difference between a real artist who creates original work and someone else relying on style over substance.
Thank you for a thoughtful review. If only Grace was able to get some actual regional/national airtime. She had been held back from singing this when it first came out, because she was told it was too much of a downer.
After about a year of doing other things (acting and touring) she has released another song called STRAY with 2 more coming out in the near future. Please listen and react to STRAY. She occasionally does covers which are much better than the original singers: listen to River
Grace vanderwal cover of the river her best song shows her dark blues side. Grace is in a class of her own. Her emotional transport rivals that of Daneliya Tuleshova who is the best in the world at this. I love grace and Daneliya
If u r going 2 review a performance, u should do a better job with the details. U didn't know her age even. This performance of DKCM is a Vanderwaal fan favorite. She blows everyone away. Grace has it all, song writer, singer, & soul.
Grace is amazing. Thank you for your reaction. You should react to her music video for her new single "Stray". It will blow you away. ruclips.net/video/6NwR8OfAnys/видео.html
Yes, I believe it's her song. I don't know if she collaborated with another songwriter this time. She's doing that more. I believe she's 15 now. Her songwriting and singing skills have matured in just a short time. So many young girls like her are doing just great in music - Allie Sherlock and Angelina Jordan come to mind. They're all amazing, but, to me, Angelina's gifts are super rare and special.
love your reactions, you seem to have a real appreciation for the music, please react to grace vanderwaal performing her song "Clearly", if you havent heard it, you will be surprised ruclips.net/video/nJ9awW8vwIU/видео.html

Already a legend
She puts more emotion in her music than almost anyone I know. She is special.

@@Cal99ers That makes sense
She wrote the song in under 30 minutes, just so unreal.

Hi - check out Grace’s performance (Vevo) of her new song The City- you’ll enjoy how she is growing and developing as a young artist (15). Thx.
She turned 16 on Jan 15th.
She's a AJ reactor seeing if Grace fans want to give her money too

Can you react to more songs from her?
No thanks
