There are lots of older fans like me (63), enjoying her rise to stardom. Not only does her music touch our hearts on an adult level, but there is another reason. Since watching her and rooting for her on AGT, I think we feel like parents watching their kid make it. We just feel so proud! LIKE OR REPLY TO AGREE.
Agreed. More than that, it’s watching the birth of something that we never have seen and probably never will the rest of our lifetime. That’s why she is so special. Old, middle aged, young adult, teenager, and the very young all feel a presence greater than anything that can be explained! Unique, special, old soul, angel, mega star, she encompasses all of these.
Major fan here. I'm 70. I'm reminded of the early sixties, when the music world began to hear so many new voices changing the zeitgeist. I think Grace is an outlier whose presence is going to change the music biz in a big way.
yes, i agree with you. first saw him at agt, I feel this child will be amazing, in big competition like that, she dared to sing her own song. like heidi klum was said: GRACE AVERY VANDERWAAL is GIFT to music.
Grace is her own genre. We had punk rock, new age, reggae, blues, thrash, etc.... Now we have Grace 😃 She is definitely a blessing. That kid kept me from committing suicide
John Wood I believe you, John. She has had the same affect on me, and I’m 72. On more than one occasion her words have taken me back through a troubled past, allowing me once and for all, not only to heal but to finally transcend all the suffering I experienced as a child. I am free now. Bless you.
It's great to see her stage performance and her totally natural movement on stage, of course also her fantastic voice but what is so breathtakingly wonderful is clearly she is enjoying her performance as much as her fans are. This girl has found her vocation in life, she is the most total and natural entertainer there is. During "Gossip Girl" she actually plays with the audience in a totally professional way, how come she has learnt this amazing performers skills in just 18 months.
I could type for a while and give examples for not only agreeing with what you've said, but also for what you haven't said...but I think about the last 1 1/2 yrs. since Grace won AGT, and I am (CONTINUALLY) BLOWN AWAY by what Grace has done for herself, and I try to find an answer to how she did this...BASICALLY (and relatively) OVERNIGHT?!! And there's no REAL ANSWER...except that Grace is AMAZING! Grace found her nitche in life early, which involves making us think closer about how we are with our lives.
My sense is that winning AGT at age 12 with original songs seasoned her pretty quickly and thoroughly. But she wouldn't have won it without a tremendous intelligence about what her audience wants and how to give it to them. Plus she has a lot of other gifts working in combination that contribute to her performing like a 40 year old legend.
I agree with you all and especially Bean Pot, Her brilliance comes primarily from within herself, her attitude, her intelligence and her natural inbuilt warmth, but it has to be nurtured and the folk around her who she or someone has selected most carefully, have the skill to do that perfectly. Let us also not forget that the single biggest influence on this true star is her family especially her Mum and Dad, and not of course forgetting Olivia, all of whom have shaped and moulded what was already there into the wonder that is Grace.
Wow - must have been fabulous, and in such a famous and intimate venue. Was Grace on directly at 6 or was there a support of any kind! Bet there was a huge queue to get a place near the front!
Went directly on, the room was a great place to see her, lots of kids got right up front, I was among last in but still had standing room to see fairly well. I sensed no one wanted the moment to end! Life is very fleetingly, moment was pure joy to witness.
Aside from THE INTENSE STATIC...I loved her energy, her IMMENSE SWAGGER, her connection with HER AUDIENCE and they with her, her backup, her voice, the lyrics, the messages, her dresses, her hair, and how she moves when she dances, and SICK OF BEING TOLD...GRACE JUST ROCKS THIS SONG!!!! And even when she momentarily messed up on TALK GOOD she was really Graceful, (and whatever else I missed). I would've loved to have been there. Thanks Doug for these precious memories! (and get another phone!)
Thanks for sharing this with us Doug. I'd give anything for a cherished memory like the one you now have. But I do have these....... because of your effort!
I really appreciate that Ross. Choose Kindness is Grace's mantra, and, for me, sharing the experience of Grace with all of her fans who cannot make it to the live performance is me choosing kindness. I hope all of those with health limitations, financial limitations, or anything else find my videos and others in order to experience just how amazingly talented this gift from Tina and Dave truly is!
Thank you for your heartfelt reply Doug. Yeh I'm just an old guy stuck in Montana and your generous contribution here is absolutely priceless to folks like me around the globe! Grace's pure heart, mind and soul along with her incredibly endearing personality and the most wonderfully moving voice I have ever heard bring joy and comfort to my life!
I don't even care that there's so much static and distortion from your mic. Thank you for making me feel like I was there at this historical event. #GodBlessGrace
The next time I attend one of her concerts, I will have a better microphone and plenty of available memory in the camera. I'm heartbroken for all of you who are unable to attend a live performance to not have a continuous entire recording to enjoy. She is priceless, a gift, and yet she is so genuine and real she brings you right into her world...and let me tell you....nobody there wanted it to end or wanted to go home. I'm really looking forward to seeing her again and again...
This is a great concert, Grace has so much energy, she is an iconic legend and a lyrical prodigy and a genius, the best there is, so much love this star has for her fans, I saw her two times and can't wait for the next one!
Grace belongs on a stage live, her voice is a legend, and her music is so original and beautiful! The world love your originality, never change what has be the best music I have ever heard!
Thanks Doug Cornelsen was an amazing show. Grace is a great artist and her work has been refined over these 6 years, both in the musical part and in cinematographic works and little by little she has become a big star with a beautiful work, she is incredible! "Success always"!!!
Grace is incredible and she sings in such a special way and this voice is different and beautiful, her melodies are inspiring and intelligent, congratulations and "success Always "!!!
An unmistakable talent, personality combined with a super-tuned voice and a very energetic footprint, she's amazing, congratulations and "success always" !!!
She gives a performance of a well seasoned stage hog with 20 years of experience. In case of an emergency with i.e. a by a cough lost voice she is able to conduct the audience in order to sing her songs.
Writing a song is another. Putting a music into it. It's quite such incredible talents. Genius for a 13 years old. She's tall and beautiful in and out. For me shes a living legend. Doing concert at such tender age. That's why she's an inspiration. A leader of her own band. What an achievement I will never have in my entire lifetime.
It wouldn't be a classic Grace performance if she didn't screw up at least once in a way that makes people -- including her band -- love her even more. What a talent...
Anybody else not like the recorded version of Talk Good, but love the live version? She should do live versions of all the songs, she sings some of them differently when live.
thanks for the upload.. I'm glad Grace doesn't mind people recording. I guess part of it is just her generation. The rest is equal parts Grace's generosity and her intelligent marketing instincts. It's refreshing after watching Metallica make millions then start crying about fans downloading their music. Ultimately I think Grace just likes to share, and her Fanderwaals are the same way.
Doug Cornelsen, I'm on the finishing touches of my PLAYLIST for Grace. I'm finalizing your vids for this and other concerts for her JTBT. A suggestion: filter out the static on this vid and maybe improve the video.
That little girl's name is Jordan. The mom (& dad) were way back in line so she was far back in the audience. My 22 yo daughter is the one holding her! Through the entire performance even not just the 30 minutes on this one segment. But you're right Matt, it wasn't easy. Her arms felt like limp like spaghetti noodles afterward.
A packet of earplugs (at 18:00)? Grace tapped her right ear after handing whatever it was to the little girl who fingered the package and seemed to know what it was. Crowds like this can damage young ears.
This girl just sucks you in. While her music sounds typically "pop-ish" it's her lyrics that grab you! They are so deep and insightful, not that vapid codswallop older artists spew forth. The one thing I hate is when people who have no knowledge of music or how it is created start comparing her to so and so, Grace does not sound like anybody else, she sounds like Grace, like her song says, she is So Much More Than This!

Ron R. And she takes us back to our younger days as well.

She making fans and people around her a better person!
If this young lady walked on water and fed multitudes with a couple fish and a loaf of bread tomorrow, I totally wouldn't be surprised... o.O
Mike Harrington - thats an amazing comment. She is special.
My face is hurting from smiling throughout this video. Wonderous, joyful, spirited and generous performance.
It's a rough diamond!
She's coming from another planet. She is so touching!
Thanks Doug !
I LOVE THIS GIRL!!!!! SO TALENTED!!!!! WILL BE A MUSIC LEGEND!!!!!
She is like a singing, dancing angel 😇
Come from work and relaxing and enjoying Grace performance- she is amazing, great songs pure as Grace...
The girl rocks, doesn't she?!
she is such a wonderful bundle of energy and talent...
Life is about energy positive style

Grace also has a lot of really talented people helping out. She acknowledged that in her speech at the Billboard Women in Music Award.

Is it possible that she sounds better live? This and her live set at ACL was amazing.
Was there, did not disappoint! Great job Grace, America’s goodness wrapped up in her life, voice!
Wow - must have been fabulous, and in such a famous and intimate venue. Was Grace on directly at 6 or was there a support of any kind! Bet there was a huge queue to get a place near the front!

Great to know, thank you. A seminal event.
omg she has become a pro performer /working the stage like a seasoned star
Aside from THE INTENSE STATIC...I loved her energy, her IMMENSE SWAGGER, her connection with HER AUDIENCE and they with her, her backup, her voice, the lyrics, the messages, her dresses, her hair, and how she moves when she dances, and SICK OF BEING TOLD...GRACE JUST ROCKS THIS SONG!!!!

Royalchess1 thanks for your comments and kind words. Definitely one for the books! Feel honored to have been there
I love that music they play when they open
Doug, your video record of these performances is priceless.
thanks doug well done you have taken everybody right there.

Cutest person in the world!!!
17:55 to 18:14 Killing me
Grace belongs on a stage live, her voice is a legend, and her music is so original and beautiful! The world love your originality, never change what has be the best music I have ever heard!
I don’t even know how many times I said she’s perfect
16:02 for one of the best moments of the show. THAT is why Grace is having a bigger impact on music than almost anyone today.
That's the little girl Grace gave the earplugs to, I think? Oh yes! At 18:10
Thanks
Doug Cornelsen was an amazing show. Grace is a great artist and her work has been refined over these 6 years, both in the musical part and in cinematographic works and little by little she has become a big star with a beautiful work, she is incredible!
"Success always"!!!
Grace is incredible and she sings in such a special way and this voice is different and beautiful, her melodies are inspiring and intelligent, congratulations and "success Always "!!!
So natural true genius at work.
Amazing Grace . A star in the making .
An unmistakable talent, personality combined with a super-tuned voice and a very energetic footprint, she's amazing, congratulations and "success always" !!!
She gives a performance of a well seasoned stage hog with 20 years of experience. In case of an emergency with i.e. a by a cough lost voice she is able to conduct the audience in order to sing her songs.
Her original dancing remind me of Mick Jagger, not choreographed, just being who they are,original!
Writing a song is another. Putting a music into it. It's quite such incredible talents. Genius for a 13 years old. She's tall and beautiful in and out. For me shes a living legend. Doing concert at such tender age. That's why she's an inspiration. A leader of her own band. What an achievement I will never have in my entire lifetime.
Correction. She's only 12 years old. Starting writing song a golden buzzer on AGT and winner.
Man, I wish I were there!!!! Jealous!!! Thanks Doug for the awesome footage!!!!
It wouldn't be a classic Grace performance if she didn't screw up at least once in a way that makes people -- including her band -- love her even more. What a talent...
"Blooper" is her middle name...
i feel like i was there!!
great thank you! feeling closer ;)
original voice, original style, original song
Thanks ✌
Anybody else not like the recorded version of Talk Good, but love the live version? She should do live versions of all the songs, she sings some of them differently when live.
I love her voice in it but Columbia changed the music beat too much for my liking. It was almost two different songs
I liked them both
Thank you!!#
born to entertain and I was entertained...
thanks for the upload.. I'm glad Grace doesn't mind people recording. I guess part of it is just her generation. The rest is equal parts Grace's generosity and her intelligent marketing instincts. It's refreshing after watching Metallica make millions then start crying about fans downloading their music. Ultimately I think Grace just likes to share, and her Fanderwaals are the same way.
Watch her hands and see how she entirely emerges in her music ... true prodigy
Tnx. Your position was perfect.
Thanks sir! Great sit btw.
Thanks for this video Doug!!!😃😃😃
You are very welcome I hope someday you will be able to see her live
Yes. I hope so too😃
pensou?
Grace's feet

I’ve listened to this before but the guy singing in the background caught my attention so funny really getting into it 😂
Thanks for the video dudeee
fan from India
tq doug
I had to stop two minutes in because I actually wanted to hear GRACE singing, not the fans. lol
I love that guy singing in the backround😂😂
Destiny Petrel on guitar.
I can hear the voice of an excited old uncle within the cloud😂😂😂
Doug Cornelsen,
I'm on the finishing touches of my PLAYLIST for Grace. I'm finalizing your vids for this and other concerts for her JTBT. A suggestion: filter out the static on this vid and maybe improve the video.
Props to the mom holding that little girl up for 30 mins. That's hard... Js
That little girl's name is Jordan. The mom (& dad) were way back in line so she was far back in the audience. My 22 yo daughter is the one holding her! Through the entire performance even not just the 30 minutes on this one segment. But you're right Matt, it wasn't easy. Her arms felt like limp like spaghetti noodles afterward.
Very beuytiful and very power ,in the world ,nise go to live ,round in the world in the east asen,pasifik,k,
Grace, if u give me food and water I will work for u!! Lol. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 Seriously!!!
Amazing!~ Thank you soo much for sharing!~ Btw why did she ran away at the end of the last song? XD
p.s: She touched my soul at 18:10 . . .
Adventurer Tom ...she had a wardrobe change.
OOH! So it wasnt over yet!! Wheres the part 2!!! XD!
That was my daughter holding little Jordan. Grace gave her ear plugs because she noticed her holding her ears from the noise!
what was it that she gave the kid?
ukes
A packet of earplugs (at 18:00)? Grace tapped her right ear after handing whatever it was to the little girl who fingered the package and seemed to know what it was. Crowds like this can damage young ears.
Beautiful - great to hear the adults applauding her action too
find chris?
This girl just sucks you in. While her music sounds typically "pop-ish" it's her lyrics that grab you! They are so deep and insightful, not that vapid codswallop older artists spew forth. The one thing I hate is when people who have no knowledge of music or how it is created start comparing her to so and so, Grace does not sound like anybody else, she sounds like Grace, like her song says, she is So Much More Than This!
What did she give to the little girl?
Earplugs - beautifu,l caring, thinking.... It'll have been pretty loud that near the speakers and in the middle of 1000 screams!
Listen to that crowed.there is defendly a Elvis thing going on.it can not be egnored.she stoled our hearts and she not giving them back.
what song is at 23:43
Insane Sometimes
ınsane sometimes
1:05 me though
Anyone who doesn't like Grace Vanderwaal must have no soul ?!
