      Agree. I would vote Grace, Laura, and Brian into the Final 3, but I don't know if they do that on this show. Yet, the only one I don't think should be there out of all of them is Tape Face. The other 9 were all phenomenal.

      Kathleen S I think tomorrow night (tonight now actually -- 1:15 am in Florida) they narrow it down to the top 2 or 3 vote getters (for drama) and then pick the winner out of those 2 or 3. But I'm not sure if they do that on this show. X-Factor USA used to do that, but not sure how AGT does it.

    She wrote, composed, and sang four original songs. No one in the history of any talent show has done this. She is more than just her voice. She is brilliant. People take years to compose and write a great song. She made 4. So to all those haters out there give me a comparable example to Grace. You can’t thats why she won. She is like Bob Dillon or Joni Mitchell. Wow

      Bennet, these shows aren't based on actual talent, it's emotion and showmanship more than anything. If someone can win the crowd and is half good they're gonna win, that's about it. An exception would be Jordan smith, who is actually very, very good at singing.

This song was so well written for this stage. The humility and soul in her work is just pure art to me. I'm so grateful she went on to continue working her craft. Her new work is absolutely beautiful and raw. Thank you Grace, for the relatable beauty you put in the world. This sounds timeless to me. ~Sheeara, Alaska

    Her voice is raw, real, beautifully written , preformed her tone is so raspy and emotional it’s so beautiful she is really talented i hardly say that because I am a harsh critic with singing but I love her voice I love how she writes her own songs I love how she is so humble and I love the fact that she is a little offbeat with her ukulele and her look I think she’s a very beautiful talented girl who is a beautiful songwriter as well.

    She is not the next Taylor Swift. If someone tried hard enough, maybe they could do what she did. But just think about it.
    She wrote her own songs. She sang beautifully. AND she plays ukulele! All at the age of 12!
    She didn't try to copy anyone. She was herself. She is not the next Taylor Swift.
    She is the first Grace Vanderwaal.

      Taylor started writing her own songs at the age of 12 and spent years in Nashville trying to get a record deal, she taught herself how to play guitar and did a lot to get where she is today. I'm pretty sure thats what Simon means by that comment.

    It's very simple. Grace created every bit of it. She wrote the lyrics, produced the melody, decided how how to present it, composed the basic music, and performed the presentation. The AGT supporting musicians were afterthoughts, which thankfully dovetailed nicely with her direction. Most folks dont realize just how much silly work goes into the "hits" they listen to today. This 12 year old child basically came along and said, "Hold my Kool-Aid and watch this", then made em all look like slackers. Wow. 12 years old, and this little girl touches a nerve like "professionals" only dream they could. Well done.

      Hatchett40 you don't have to have good taste in music to appreciate pure talent. Let's put this into perspective: she bought her own Ukelele for her 11th birthday. She auditioned for AGT at 12 years old. She self-taught herself to play the Ukelele in about a year's time with Ukelele Teacher on UA-cam. She writes all of her own music. SHE WAS JUST 12 YEARS OLD when she was discovered. During the 11th Season of AGT, she wrote, composed and performed two of her live performances in a week's time between airings. That's just the beginning. Then, for those of us who are fans, her absolutely astonishing voice is just the icing on the cake. You're entitled to your own opinion about her "sound", but it is completely wrong NOT to recognize this girl is a true artist.

    You see a girl in the hallway
    And then you whisper to your friend
    "Who is she anyway?"
    You forgot what she looks like in like a day
    But your words don't hurt me
    I will be OK
    'Cause you don't hurt me
    I won't mold to
    Your silly words
    I won't live inside your world
    'Cause your punches and your names
    All your jokes and stupid games
    They don't work
    No, they don't hurt
    Watch them just go right through me
    Because they mean nothing to me
    I'm not clay
    You see that girl in the hallway
    Smile on her face as she walks away
    Trying to tear her down was your first mistake
    'Cause little do you know, she wasn't built to break
    'Cause you don't hurt me
    I won't mold to
    Your silly words
    I won't live inside your world
    'Cause your punches and your names
    All your jokes and stupid games
    They don't work
    No, they don't hurt
    Watch them just go right through me
    Because they mean nothing to me
    Try to change my shape
    But, baby, I'm not clay
    Sorry, not today
    'Cause, baby, I'm not
    Try to change my shape
    But, baby, I'm not clay
    Sorry, not today
    'Cause, baby, I'm not clay
    Your silly words
    I won't live inside your world
    'Cause your punches and your names
    All your jokes and stupid games
    They don't work
    No, they don't hurt
    Watch them just go right through me
    Because they mean nothing to me
    I'm not clay

      I think she had it in the bag already, but, that very moment that you wrote about, I swear, that guaranteed her the win, that one part was a game changer, I bet all of the other contestants were watching in the back and were like, it's over, she just won. She was already America's favorite! What a beautiful performance, I cry every time I watch it. The only miracle that happened that year was us getting her in our lives, her winning, that was no miracle, that was destiny!

    She seems real, she just talked about bullying, her own song, her raspy voice just fits her, and I like how she doesn't overload her face with make up, and she wears clothes that actually fit her age, God I love her
