When Grace is live on stage. She always has sing along songs because she loves to interact with her fans. This will be one of those when she tours. Im betting.
Grace could do it all. She’s able to do it alone, or with individual or groups, and she can keep her focus and share her genius with anybody she gets a connection with. Great as usual Dax, and let’s hope this year is the one Grace gets recognized for the genius she is. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Dax, great reaction. Very good composition, I believe the market is very broad and receptive to works in this direction, the sound is pleasant and produces good energy. Grace's work, regardless of style, is always successful because the big difference is the well-produced lyrics and the wonderful vocals! "Success always"!!!
Thanks for doing this pal.... great song !! So typically Grace..... I totally agree with you that she's probably the greatest singer/song writer and composer of our time...!!! I was blessed to watch her on her very first television performance on AGT... Don't Know My Name.... I've been hooked ever since... along with many many others...😊😊... She's a God given talent and we're so blessed to have her... good job Dax 👍
Dax.... I appreciate you closely following Grace's career...😊😊😊.... I've been following her since I first saw her on AGT when she was only 12 years old with her original song "I Don't Know My Name" .... I saw that performance live and I knew then, along with thousands of others, that Grace was "Special". She's only 20 years old now, and what a career she has; singer, song writer, performer, and now a promising film career with her latest one directed and produced by Frances Ford Coppala .... WOW 😮😳😳..... Amazing!!! Anyway pal, I appreciate you keeping a close eye 👀 on her as I really appreciate your comments etc about her.. I also agree with one of your earlier comments.."She's a modern day Mozart" when it comes to her music gifts etc..keep it up pal 👌👍😊.... from one who cares 😇 ☝️🙏☝️...
Thank you Dax for another Grace reaction. I love Grace's other anti social camp colab Felt So Good and I hadn't heard Man Up before either. Thank you for not letting me miss this one ! The incredibly talented Ms. Vanderwaal delights us yet again ! My ears are so happy. Take care Dax , thanks again.
Damn good song, wonder why her label doesn't push this music of hers. There must be some amazing songs on the up coming Megalopolis film, think this song might be a hint of what's to come!
Two items - this was a collaboration, even though Grace's fingerprints are all over the lyrics; and this was done in one day. The band camp had three days of writing sessions and each day was a different song and a different group composition. Here's the group that did Man Up - Grace VanderWaal (Chris Petrosino, Sam Hollander, Ray Angry, Andrew Maury). Grace also did the vocals (among other things) for "She" (also captured by the Bean Pot) - she - Grace VanderWaal (Sur Back, Meg Smith, Emei). We don't know how the groups were formed - I'm thinking something along names drawn from a hat - but each group had a vocalist, a producer, and musicians. And yes, Grace "plays" that magnificent instrument - her voice - to great advantage here. And for the record - Grace is the only voice here. Great reaction, as always!
Brilliant! Great “driving vibes” this is more like the path she should be going down now with her music and writing great lyrics and love they way she incorporates the poetic “rap sound” in her songs this is her signature. this need to be released now! and played on every radio station round the world just outstanding!
I am in agreement all the way, Dax. It's got that (now iconic) wordplay or double meanings going on. "Man Up" means grow a pair. "Next man up" is inviting the player to step into the batter's box. Then she opens the song with the "Down/Up" wordplay. I swear those horns in the resolve are the same horns from the "Rocky Theme"....Ha Ha! It sounds just like them. Great reaction, Dax. I sit her in Finland and hope it warms up for you. We still have 4 months to go!
Her word play is master poet stuff, Wiley. I didn't get to hear it fully until I was editing the video, and I just sat there shaking my head in wonder. Now I'm laughing at the idea that those were the Rocky horns. LOL Mon dieu, Finland?!!!! Ouch ... um, I'm now feeling warmer in Atlanta. Thanks for that, Wiley. LOL Stay warm, my friend. Great to hear from you.
This is totally an adult only content tune. Every line has inuendo . Or what we used to call Rock and Roll! Squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg. Remember those hits?

Or the next man up Yeah Man up Hi daX long time no see. Even tho' this is a AS collab' production, Grace was definitely the Captain of the ship here. You are soooo right, this song is like a wonderful salad with all the fixins'.She really dug deep in her big bag of tricks Didn't she? Even tho' there were other contributors, her name was not only listed first in the lineup of co-collaborators, you can most definitely hear her influence here predominating. I'm afraid to say that I'm the guilty party for tipping off being pot with this song...But the real credit has to go to one of my fellow discord GV members, 'Rocky' for finding it in the first place, it remained hidden for so long until he found it. And it was being pod who somehow scrounged up the lyrics here too. Somehow I got bumped from your patreon acct' and can't figure out how to get on, that's why I haven't talked to you lately. Hopefully you can give me some instructions on how to get back on. I'm a typical Boomer computer country bumpkin, lol.. Anyway nice hearing you doing a reaction again, Catch you on rebound daX.peace out.
Long time, no talk, Harold, indeed. Glad all is well with ya. Thanks for the lyrics. Grace got herself all Shakespeare bawdy on this one. How the hell does somebody get that dirty and make it sound like a goddamn sonnet?! LMAO Thanks much to you and Bean Pot and Rocky I'm not sure on Patreon. I guess just hop back on there and start another account with me. Sure hope you do!!!!!!! See ya round.
@@daxmusix NOBODY'S going to tell me that she didn't write the lyrics to this. Nuh-uh. I don't care if it is a collab', SHE Is the only person that's clever enough with her writing to write what she wrote in this song, period. I'll call up my IT guy and have him come over and try to sort it out on how to get back onto your system....I got some stuff I want to show you. I'm writing my second novel about Grace. And if you thought the first one was whack, well, ya' see, the deal is like this: The older I get the crazier I get, er, I mean the more transcendent I get. Yeah, that's it...The more transcendent I get.😁
@@haroldwilson950 Um, you can GET crazier, SkyMan?!! LOL Look forward to you getting back on Patreon and telling all about your next round of wicked tale-making. Oh, and yeah, she DEFINITELY wrote the best stuff in the song.
Here's another Grace song from Anti social club Felt So Good, subject of song in the title LOL! ua-cam.com/video/T7qtAVfAuEo/v-deo.htmlsi=qmSfx84Nnd7DtDgT
This is not a Grace solo effort. The Anti-Social Producer's Club is all about collaboration. I don't know how many others were involved or just what their involvement might have been.
Here's the group that did Man Up - Grace VanderWaal, Chris Petrosino, Sam Hollander, Ray Angry, Andrew Maury. Chris, Ray, and Andrew are producers and musicians; Sam is listed as a writer - Grace, of course, is a vocalist/writer and amateur producer. I'd love to see a documentary on how this song was made.
She seems to be following other young female vocalist's (don't need to tell you who) lead by incorporating retro instrumentation and rhythm into her songs. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, I guess.
@@Jeff_674I wouldn't call Grace a "troll". Sure, she makes a reappearance every now and then, but I don't think she is trolling other singer's styles. She is honestly just trying to make it in the industry by doing what is the hot trend- and that is currently retro styling and instrumentation/arrangements. Take it easy on the girl and don't be so mean!
Like most of Grace’s music, the more I listen to this song the more I like it. It is on a completely different level from any her last four duds. This song gives hope that Grace will return to her musical roots rather than pursue a career as a poor man’s Millie Bobby Brown or Gisele Bündchen. Hopefully she will write a few songs for the soundtrack to _Megalopolis,_ which would give her some much needed exposure. (The best things to come out of the two _Stargirl_ films were the two songs Grace wrote.) What gives me slight pause, however, is that Francis Ford Coppola chose Grace to be a part of his mega-project, and he is a far better judge of acting talent any of us are. So maybe Grace does has acting chops but we already know that Grace is a generational musical talent. Unlike the _Stargirl_ films, I am looking forward to _Megalopolis,_ with its cast of current and former a-listers Shia LaBeouf, Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Zendaya, Dustin Hoffman, Talia Shire, John Voigt, James Caan, Jude Law, Cate Blanchette, Michelle Pfieffer, Lawrence Fishburne, Forrest Whittaker and Jessica Lange. And Grace VanderWaal. Peace
Her last 4 releases were nowhere near "duds," and most people following along have been aware of Grace's great acting chops for a long time. There's a reason her acting was highly praised in the reviews for her two Stargirl movies and why FFC wanted her for his movie. She's never going to abandon music, though. She has tried to make that as clear as possible, but I guess some people will always have doubts.
@@Jeff_674 Picasso loved to play chess, but thankfully only in his spare time. But I believe you are right about Grace knowing where her bread is buttered. Shalom
Zendaya because of scheduling conflicts with other projects, left the film. Nothing bad on her part, just a person can't be in two places at once. Grace VanderWaal replaced her, apparently much to FFC's pleasure because Grace could write and perform her characters songs. IMDB lists music for Megalopolis by Grace VanderWaal, so she may be involved with writing, composing the film's theme song, and music soundtrack. Also this is Grace's second film with Giancarlo Esposito, who appeared with her in Stargirl 2020.
Still love your enthusiasm. You guys remember Becky G? Yeah she's singing at the Oscars, sorry it shows me how much Grace's career has been screwed up. Other than Dax it looks like Grace's reactions is officially dead. Probably start up agin for a little bit after the movie and new EP.
Thanks, Dean (Winchester), for giving me the heads-up on this banger!
This could be her greatest chance at radio exposure. Absolutely love this song.
When Grace is live on stage. She always has sing along songs because she loves to interact with her fans. This will be one of those when she tours. Im betting.
I like this. Her voice still pulls me in.

Indeed, let's hope, Jean. Thanks!
Thanks Dax, great reaction. Very good composition, I believe the market is very broad and receptive to works in this direction, the sound is pleasant and produces good energy. Grace's work, regardless of style, is always successful because the big difference is the well-produced lyrics and the wonderful vocals!
"Success always"!!!
This is the best thing I’ve heard from Grace in year thanks Dax
I'm so confused by why she is not bigger, amazing voice,...
❤fabulous. Love Grace talent. The best vocalist. Great stylist
Amazing grace
