She is 13yo and has been on stage professionally for about 1 year. My jaw dropped when she performed River. The dress, tambourine the voice the emotion! She is possessed by all the great singers of the past.
ed reyes ... I think she was possessed in her entire performance .... when she sang insane sometimes (part 1 of the video) her expression and the way she moved her hands seemed another person in her body ... impressive ... every interview she speaks as someone 20 years old... how to explain something like this ?? it's crazy !!
Grace I want to thank you for your music and your personality because you helped me through a bad time in December 2019 my father died and I found your music after he died and I've been listen to you ever since I want to thank you for being the person you are
this is simply one of the coolest things i've ever seen. people keep saying she's going to be big. news flash...she's already big! this is just plain amazing. she's up there orchestrating this whole thing. she's in complete control. brings back memories of her back at the lafayette theatre in ny state. seems like years ago now. she was in complete control then. people are tired of reading it...she's just simply amazing...
Can’t get enough of River and Stormy Weather. She is just other worldly talented. She is untouchable. I notice there are some covers she will only do once and you never see another recording of that cover. It’s like she is leaving breadcrumbs to people to come and join her on this journey. Blown away.
She is really sensational an incredible talent a beautiful voice, plays at the time of singing she gives a show and if it surpasses Always,congratulations and "success Always "!!!
Thanks for this. Really glad to see and hear the Leon Bridges cover. Such courage and confidence. She didn't over-sing it, but rather handled it delicately. Respect.
Never seen anything like this before. This girl is rewriting the bible of popular music. I know I am gushing but how can you not this girl is one of the most unique performers of all time, and it is all totally natural with her.
les cox. I don't know of a current 13 yo writing and singing like she does. Stormy Weather is another song she covered. She is no ordinary teen pop singer. She is way beyond that! I saw the fire in her when she sang Dog Days Are Over and posted it on her UA-cam channel when she was 11 years old. I knew then, that this child's Destiny was to perform like all the great ones of the past.
I agree she is unique and what makes her so very special is she behaves the way she feels she should and not as others want her to be. Even her dancing on stage is not carefully choreographed it is simple Grace moving as she feels she wants to. It is a s refreshing as a mountain spring.
I 1st saw Grace on a Facebook post that had gone viral, singing Ex's and Oh's by Elle King sitting on her porch, been waiting for her to surface since and here she is. Beautiful Gal x (I'm from the UK - so didn't even know AGT)
Leanne I am also from the UK and discovered Grace entirely on You Tube, Now I am a moderator with her fan club and being slowly taken over by this girl. Maybe one day we will get to see her this side of the pond in the UK.
leanne....yes, i've watched that video hundreds of times now. there she was all by herself and her dog. she just sang with so much heart and soul...it was amazing that she could do that with no audience. thanks for bringing this up. for people that want to see it....ua-cam.com/video/7SbLtb3vv2s/v-deo.html. it's worth a visit if you haven't seen it. it's worth a visit if you've seen it a hundred times!
and to think not too long ago she said she didn't think she could sing and she didn't think she could dance. wonder if she feels the same way today? she's an incredibly talented little hippie isn't she? her audience singing along, how amazing is that?
RIVER. Incredible performance By Grace, with some music in the background and a tambourine. Just by looking at her face you can tell how seriously she assumes her music. She touches your heart oh so much. Too bad most of her audience may be a bit too young to really appreciate the ART in her performance. But this is a GEM to last for a long time in our minds.
Ela é fascinante! Essa natureza forte, um dom musical que vem da alma, que transforma flores em poesias e musicas,esse é o seu jeito fascinante de ser,parabéns e "sucesso sempre "!!!
it is very refreshing to hear a young person sing a song like this with so much conviction but don't worry grace about wanting to go because God looks over all his Angels and there is no doubt that you are one of them. Heavenly Grace***
Doug, I hate you right now! I now have to watch this whole show every night before I go to bed, which puts me to sleep an hour later then normal, you have cost me sleep. I went and ordered her new CD, you have cost me money. I'm now trying to find a way to get to one of her concerts, who knows what you will cost me with that one! But I'm loving that I hate you!! :)
Young Slots ...we all have had this little gift to music stand us on our heads and spin us. There is no way to ignore her, and what she will do in the future. She is unlike any singer I've ever heard. If you make it to one of her live performances, I'll warn you in advance, you're gonna really hate me! 🤣
I loved in the video after she sang the river song you yelled "AMAZING!!!" it made me feel like I was there because I was yelling that in my bedroom. Why is her music not being played on the radio?!?!?! I don't understand.
Good point Steve, could you imagine Ariana wearing unflattering or regular clothing and sit down on a stool with a tambourine or harmonica and just play her songs. The only time I saw her do this was a time on saturday night live when she was showing everyone how versatile her voice was
Leon Bridges is fantastic himself, but I think he'd be proud of what Grace just did with his song. That that depth of feeling could come from an upper middle class 13 year old girl who's never known a day of want in her life speaks to her exceptional talent. How many of the greatest blues singers had to experience the soul-shattering hardships of life before they could express it in their song, yet Grace seems able to do it at will, and with utter ease. It also makes me wonder how long it will be before top tier song-writers clamor for Grace to record their songs. But what a great irony -- this world class soul and blues singer is also a world class song writer herself, so doesn't have to do anyone else's songs unless she wants to. Just how is it possible that these two remarkable gifts should be manifested through a single individual . . . well, that's the question we all keep asking ourselves, isn't it?
Chris I guess I could read your ramblings all day, nicely said. I have to say your wrong about her upbringing, she never had an allowance, couldn't get a Uke when she wanted one, there was other things I heard in the last year in a half that tells me her parents didn't hand them anything they wanted when ever they whined, I also feel the big house they have was recent, meaning Dave just got a promotion at LG and is moving up in life a little before Grace hit the AGT show and we don't get to see a modest house before that. I'm from a large family and I didn't realize how poor we really were til I looked back on life in my 40s and Grace doesn't sound privileged to me when she speaks, it's hard to hide, Miley reeks of it. Soul comes from a state of mind not where you come from
Agree with you about Miley, and am so glad Grace is nothing like her. But I think you're equating lack of want with being spoiled, and that isn't really what I meant. I was looking more at the dichotomy of what life was like (especially formative years) for so many great artists of the past, versus Grace's pretty bland, middle class upbringing. Seems the most difficult thing she's ever had to endure was her treatment at school, which she admitted didn't rise to the level of harsh bullying, but was more of a snootiness against her. My only point in all this is that it seems most great artists draw from real life experiences (both good and bad) to imbue their art with life. But Grace simply could not have had these sorts of real experiences to draw upon. Yet she still manages to invest her singing with feelings that appear genuine, as if relating a difficult experience she herself has had to endure. She's either faking the feelings -- and doing it quite believably -- or her empathy works on overdrive and she really can imagine what utter fear, desolation, hopelessness, despair, and about every other sort of personal torment must truly feel like, and then, right at the moment needed, sing it as if she's lived it. I'm leaning toward the latter explanation, since she herself has often talked of imagining herself in someone else's shoes -- real or fictional -- and then thinking about how they'd feel about the situation.
Chris Latham good explanation again, it must be the same with Angelina Jordan, but being like 6 when she mimiced 50's soul singers she had no idea singers reached for those tones to depict true loss and sorrow. You don't,t need a knife in you gut to know it hurts. Starving children in Mexico if they survive love their mother just as much in later life as privileged American kids, not sure y I said that
oops , wrong windoow , sorry Grace ........anyway ........ ua-cam.com/video/tZtD0ZEg5oY/v-deo.html with this soundcloud.com/nina-kraviz listin to both at the same time ...... love you darling !
it has best visual and audio is good except a lil static every now and then still one of the best recordings from the night . Gary Please Upload Your Video for us to see ..

I laughed so hard when she exclaimed 'scream!" and the younger audience took it literally and started screaming unintelligible shrieks haha
Can’t get enough of River and Stormy Weather. She is just other worldly talented. She is untouchable. I notice there are some covers she will only do once and you never see another recording of that cover. It’s like she is leaving breadcrumbs to people to come and join her on this journey. Blown away.
Our Grace is the most precious thing on UA-cam ...
Take me to your River gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes, wow wow wow!
There just isn't any way to describe how wonderful this makes me feel!
She is really sensational an incredible talent a beautiful voice, plays at the time of singing she gives a show and if it surpasses Always,congratulations and "success Always "!!!
Thanks for this. Really glad to see and hear the Leon Bridges cover. Such courage and confidence. She didn't over-sing it, but rather handled it delicately. Respect.
she is going to be absolutely huge. Outstanding cover of Leon Bridges!
River was just totally AWESOME
Masterpiece. 3 hrs watching all her videos. Need to sleep damn it but this is food for the soul.
This amazing gal will be selling out mega stadiums everywhere soon!!!
You Sing River with so much emotion! We can tell you love it so much. We Love You ~
Amazing!! Still can't believe that voice is coming from that tiny girl!!! 👏

Good lord! When she pulled out that tamborine in that dress...could she be Janice Joplin come back to us again? Damn that was amazing! O.O
I was thinking the same Mike.

Good point Steve, could you imagine Ariana wearing unflattering or regular clothing and sit down on a stool with a tambourine or harmonica and just play her songs. The only time I saw her do this was a time on saturday night live when she was showing everyone how versatile her voice was
Bare feet and all. Bitchin stuff right there.

This is the equivalent of seeing the Beatles in the Cavern Club.

Leon Bridges, how did she do?
