GRACE VANDERWAAL - FULL ACCEPTANCE SPEECH (BILLBOARD) | REACTION

[@pvc9352]

I think Grace doesn’t yet grasp the enormity of the torch she carries for so many others that can’t carry their own. What many love about her is the way she does it so humbly with poise, class and (of course) grace.

[@Mark_E_M]

Beyond a doubt, one of the most beautifully genuine acceptance speeches EVER! Well done Grace!

[@lescox8667]

One thing really stands out. The moment she says about the rough waters and her family and others built bridges for her to cross them. OMG that is pure poetry. It had me crying again.

[@QQTrick1QQ]

I have a feeling she was thinking of her support team and related. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpDEZWmNf5apn6M

[@bobbyrose7984]

Great reaction Petra, sorry I have not commented on this video before, I have watched it several times. Poise, presence, intelligence, courage not to mention talent and of course grace. This 13-year-old had the best of the music industry in the palm of her hand and it was they who were learning the lessons and she who was teaching. So hard for me to put into words how much admiration and respect I have for this young lady. I just hope that she can grasp the idea of the amount of love that her fans have for her and know, that as much as we love her music, we would never want to pressure her in any direction that she did not feel true to her own heart. Love You Grace.

[@Terkina__]

She deserve this award so much. She is an incredible young girl which makes people happy with her music and she is an big inspiration for so many Kids, Teens and i think for some adults too, all over the world. To be in the music industry in this age is not the easiest thing on earth.

[@hcmusic101]

Hi Petra, I live near Grace, and naturally everyone in our area is extremely supportive and proud of her and what she has accomplished. But, it's so amazing to see that our little girl has truly touched the hearts of millions of people around the world the same way she has touched ours. One thing I have observed in all of this is that there is a real human connection between Grace and her fans. Her fans seem to genuinely care about her as a person as well as her well-being, and I know she feels the same towards them. Also, her fan base spans all generations which is also very unusual for an artist her age. Petra, I just want to thank you for being so supportive of Grace throughout her amazing journey and I'm sure that she is very aware and appreciative of you. It is easy to see that you are as kind and compassionate a person as Grace is. Thanks, and please keep the videos coming...I really enjoy them so much!

[@saki8888]

So cool. Must be proud the future queen of music is knowing a home town girl

[@j.michaelnolan6388]

hcmusic101....those are very kind words coming from you. thank you for sharing here on youtube!

[@theroadshowguy]

This moment in Grace's journey will prove to be, in years to come, the moment of reckoning for the music industry elite. Grace is here, you can't ignore her, and you can't be unmoved by her. Thanks for sharing your love of Grace Petra, and thanks for sharing the message of hope she brings!

[@evilempira]

I remember when I was a young girl rushing out to the flower garden and ripping up several flowers and proudly handing them to my mom. She realized that my intent was one of love, she gently explained to me that flowers bloom and show their true beauty when they have the warmth of sunlight and tender loving care. She planted them for everyone who sees them to enjoy and although she was grateful that I thought of her, young tender plants need time to grow. From that day forward I understood that you can't hurry beauty along, it takes time and that is our story of Grace. We as her fans, her record producers all who have a steak in her, would be better served to let Grace spend all the time she needs getting what she needs to grow into the incredible little human that we all know and love. I hope we can all be as kind to Grace and she is to all of us.

[@SuperPalaver]

Barbara Yes. Her fans are far too impatient. You can't rush greatness.

[@Cal99ers]

I did the same thing with my dad's potatoes

[@andyjacobs9400]

Grace is a true miracle. She looked so grown up in this clip. You know it must be difficult to go through the experiences she has in this short time. I can only pray that she is able to weather the challenges and continue to grow. Momma Tina, keep her grounded and on point. She will need you more as she grows. Petra, I am glad to see your love and support for this miracle girl. Grace deserves success and love.

[@mbrand19971]

Well said Andy in the days of scandal allegations of sexual harassment in various fields of profession there is one person that's willing to pull the world together in tumultuous times we're living in. There is one person that's willing to shine a light at the end of the tunnel and her name is Grace Vanderwaal.

[@jeffstumpf9129]

Max, that's a lot to put on young girl. Still, her potential for great things seems to be there, but in her own time and in her own way.

[@scottsamber4234]

I know I'm nearly (not quite) 4 times Grace's age and I'm a guy, but I too find her such an inspiration! Such a GREAT roll-model for her younger fans to look up to as well as us, her older fans. I really like and admire how she hasn't let the industry mold her into the common bubblegum pop-star (that rebels and breaks out to be trouble later in life) but strives very stubbornly to stick to her own humble style, with lyrics that make us think and feel how much has gone into dreaming them up! There are days where I shuffle all her songs on repeat all day long without any guilt because there is no negative suggestions, but just good up-lifting music to sing along with, and that's such a great change compared to what all is out there. Yes I believe she deserved this award and she can take her career just as far as she wants to go! She is one confident self made young lady!

"Grace is living beautiful walking miracle"

[@genejohnson2144]

Hey Petra; That reaction was soooooo Beautiful. I was getting tears in My eyes with You so don't feel alone. Grace is AMAZING for any age but even more so because She's so young. How is it possible for little Grace VanderWaal to reach inside of Us grown adults and pull on our heart strings like She does. I can't imagine how a 13 year old can have Her level of maturity and understanding of the world around Her. She shows the traits of a Genius mind in Her ability to understand the REAL world around Her instead of the world the media wants every to believe. I think there was such an abundance of negativity in the world that on January 15, 2004 God gave Us Grace VanderWaal to help combat it. Such an Amazing Girl and What a Beautiful reaction video Petra, You're Amazing too. Lots of Love from the USA... Gene Johnson

[@backlit85]

agreed!

[@rainieresguerra7486]

She has proven herself a genius.. yet so humble still. Her songs will live forever. Thank you for your Grace Vanderwaal video reactions. They are all awesome!

[@barblhurst]

Petra, you never cease to amaze me. I love, love, love your reactions to Grace Vanderwaal and her music! I agree with you in so many ways -- you are able to put into words what I can't, and I really appreciate this about you. Petra, thank you for sharing where you are and some of the battles that you have had. Grace's song about darkness chasing her is definitely a darker song for her, and I can only imagine all that she battles every day being in the public eye, in the music industry, doing tours, etc. at such a young age. I am certain her parents try very hard to keep her grounded. Her humility is touching and inspiring...I think that's a big part of what we all love about her! So, Petra, thank you for your reactions and for sharing yourself with us. I am praying for you...and that you always remember that no matter what you are going through, God holds you in the palm of His hand. He never said bad things wouldn't happen to us, but He promised to be with us always and that he would never leave or forsake us. I pray you can find some comfort in those words. God bless you, beautiful Petra! Sending you a big hug of love from the U.S.!

[@jamessmithe5490]

Think about all of the awards shows and all of the acceptance speeches and how they just read off a list of people in a wooden manner, or get so emotional they can't express themselves. Grace was perfect; so emotional and so literate and so genuine. Which is reflected in the brilliance of her song lyrics. She made me cry, just as she makes me cry when she sings. I love Grace so much.

[@davefrey6253]

Good Morning Petra, Hope your are feeling better. Have to agree with you that Grace's speech is the Best one I have ever heard. Sometimes "The Right Things" happen. The World needed Grace, and because of her we have more Sunshine..more Rainbows ...and yes more crying. I wouldn't want it any other way. Dave

[@genejohnson2144]

Hi Dave... Once again You pop out the perfect comment! You are exactly right and I wouldn't have it any other way either.

[@alevyyadinchannel5953]

Grace Vanderwaal is really best singer and so inspired. Amazing Grace..Her speech on stage so touching..make me cry. Great Grace.. Best all of u. I proud of u. Love u always..Your fan from Indonesia

[@jim241960]

Petra you are so real , you have changed my mind on the rest of the world . We are lead to believe that the whole world hates us because we are Americans , But I can see the love in you that makes me know the rest of the world is just like us , and you are wonderful . I thank God that I found these type of videos on the internet and especially yours .

[@WarrenPDavis]

I have watched her speech a bunch of times....still tear up. Such a grown up young lady.....

[@John_May.]

I saw this last night and really wanted you to comment on it. It took you less than 12 hours, which I think is the fastest you've ever reacted to anything. Her speech was probably the most real thing I think I have ever heard in the entertainment industry. She makes me proud to be a fan of hers and simply happy she is here with us on this planet. Grace deserves every bit of recognition and success that she has garnered over the last 16 months. Thank you.

[@wynterravyn]

Talking about yourself in reflection of Grace is entirely appropriate because it shows the empathy she has for others when she puts herself in their shoes, as well as the empathy you have for others, also. It demonstrates the success of both her message and yours. I watched different videos of this and bawled ((cried)) through them all. I was also thinking how busy Grace has been, because she had just been in Japan, again, and was rushed from Japan to Billboard in a whirlwind of craziness ... introducing her album in Japan, launching her "Just the Beginning" Tour, and attending Billboard to receive this award! Whew! Her head must be spinning and her eyes fluttering ...

[@Cal99ers]

Another great reaction Petra, you being a friend of Grace's now, it's so important to hear how you can relate to Grace and I'm sure she is just as concerned as we are on how you are doing. You both are so whimsical and enjoyable to watch, at the end of that heart wrenching speech I wouldn't have been surprised if Grace stuck out her tongue and said something humorous, she is so playful even in the times when she's serious. Have a beautiful day

[@GasparMadera]

Yup petra. I was watching her last night live and although we know her ability to express herself at interviews in a way that exceeds the usual, not only for her age, but even for an adult, I never cease to be amazed. You can't understand how she's able to take out her thoughts and emotions in such a great way. You don't have to worry about what Grace may feel about your reactions, because as you said, she's tremendously empathetic, so she can feel perfectly what you feel and what you want to convey. Thank you for explaining your feelings and opinions again 💞

[@lillyliner132]

Oh wow. Grace Vanderwahl did so good on AGT. I hope her troubles are behind her. She gave such a great speech there. And I agree, she deserves it soooo much.

[@kurtisle]

I'm with you. DON'T YOU MESS WITH GRACE! She's so great and I love hearing and seeing her doing what she does...touching our hearts.

[@bobh5019]

Watched this last night and was blown away by Grace's speech. She was so eloquent and genuine and appreciative . Truly one of the best acceptance speeches I have ever heard. If your eyes didn't water get your heart checked. So mature , Tina looked so proud. Grace is growing up so fast , I really hope this is Just the Beginning of a long , long career.----- Bob H

[@Cal99ers]

Love Tina and Dave, amazing how red Tina's face was

[@jrbolton8143]

Grace is a very very special young lady and so are you

[@arnaudcampion]

Hi Petra, thank you for this video, Today is a special day, since this morning I’m watching grace’s video of Billboard #WomeninMusic and and crying a lot, but these are tears of joy and happiness. Since Grace came in my Life, I never felt so living and so thrilled by seeing other open their heart and become better. Grace shares a lot of feeling and emotion like compassion. This is why we love her so much, as we love you when recording those videos. I’m sure she sent hugs because you were going through hard time but sharing love makes you happy, you will never put her down. A big hug for you Petra.

[@arnaudcampion]

Hey Petra, I don’t know if you’ve seen the acoustic moonlight performance she did yesterday just before the speech if not please do a reaction to it, billboard footage is HD and this is an absolute masterpiece t.co/AQQEeFgLsp

[@jamagrant6967]

Grace should never again be compared to Taylor Swift. Taylor writes about ex-boyfriends. Grace writes of universal themes that effect the hearts and souls of every human person. Her music creates a Divine potentiality for healing. She was given to us as a gift, as a way to combat an industry filled with vulgar lyrics, and shallow hypocrites who often prostitute their talent in exchange for the 'almighty dollar.' I believe most of us know what we have here and are more than willing to do whatever necessary to protect and encourage her along the way. I, for one, pray for Grace daily. All my love to Grace, and to all her fan friends, of which I am one.

[@John_May.]

Jama Grant I don't believe in God, but Grace could almost me think otherwise.

[@QKaty]

Jama Grant Yes yes yes I think the same!

[@Sartorri4666]

Jama Grant Amen🙏

[@jamagrant6967]

J May How kind of you to reply; it really meant a lot. Do you have a favorite song of hers? She has put out so many wonderful ones lately it has become rather mind boggling, huh? That being said, my favorite at this time is A Better Life, and after that, it would be City Song. My all time favorite would have been her first, I Don't Know My Name, but after the extra lyrics were added, l honestly have never liked it the same. Be well friend

[@Sartorri4666]

Jama Grant Not that it matters but the lyrics for I don't know my name were already there before AGT. Grace had to shorten the song to fit AGT's time requirement. Because that was our first hearing we all got used to it that way. I've heard plenty of people say they like the AGT version better. I think it's because it was a little faster than the recording and because of the energy she put into the last verse. That performance still chokes me up and the full version with Howie hitting the buzzer and Olivia running out on stage slamming into Grace... Oh boy, I'm getting misty eyed just thinking about it.

[@TSGAdventures]

So once again getting ready to go back to work then this happens so now I have dry my eye and sit here and regroup!! Thanks Petra for another amazing reaction.

[@ainsleygibson9196]

Love this! Love Grace! Love you!

[@maggie55312]

Hey Petra... I get very emotional listening to Grace. She is very talented... very inspiring to many of us. I pray for her success, love and peace always. God Bless ❤❤❤

[@jesseoliver3575]

Wow, what a presence she has. I could easily see her staring in Movies, Modeling basically anything she puts he mind to do, she can do and it. Her future is very bright and I look forward to seeing how far she will go.

[@interstategar]

I think Grace's songs are about her own personal experience either by herself or with other people and sometimes just where she is at, example City Song. From hearing her talk about her song writing process she has mentioned this. She also said some songs are her just using her imagination of how someone might feel. One thing for sure, she is an amazing song writer, and a very singer and great live from what I have seen on KZbin. And Petra, you are very empathetic which is what you makes you a very endearing person, and why I watch you. Watching you here is the only way I can get to spend time with you.

[@foxinroch2085]

Wow. What a joy it is to watch you react to Grace! You are a person of great empathy! Thank you for sharing.

[@jonathanvince8173]

Grace will never feel bad from your react as was spot on Petra just be you like Grace must be herself. Thank you Petra.

[@leonardodaadelaide5563]

She ABSOLUTELY deserves that Award & she deserves all the help & bridges built for her. She gives 1000%, thats WHY she gets all the help, because it is tough. She's a Warrior of the Heart & Spirit, thats why she gets Great pay-back!!!

[@genejohnson2144]

Well said Leonardo daAdelaide... Well Said. Grace is a Warrior and She won Me over The first time I saw Her on AGT. She's an Amazing girl with talent bursting out of every pore of Her skin.

[@leonardodaadelaide5563]

Absolutely right you are Gene. & thanks!

[@leonardodaadelaide5563]

Grace is right too though! Her parents deserve allot of credit for bringing her up in a very caring & loving way, not to mention Olivia, who probably dohted over her as a kid. There's a special combination there, that resulted in Grace being able to feel free to express herself. Well done to the Vanderwaal Family. The Award belongs to them too.

[@Cal99ers]

I'm from a large family and we had a special brother who entertained us all through our years growing up and I feel he shaped us to who we are today. When I see a picture of Grace with Olivia as a younger child and knowing that Olivia is a special personality too, I can't help think of Tina and Dave watching those two special girls playing in front of them

[@SuperPalaver]

That was fast! Petra, I'm pretty sure Grace appreciates your reactions to her music. It's not everyone reacting she's given shoutouts to. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she's subbed to your channel.

[@rudolftrojan6862]

A sea of tears rises in me, I threaten to drown in it. Grace has made the room shine with her elegant and modest appearance. Petra your eyes just say everything ......

[@michaellauer6400]

If you listen carefully to the songs on the album you can hear her journey through the adversity of confronting and dealing with record company execs who wanted to make her a pop start without consulting her or caring about her wishes (see the Billboard interview included in the clips from last night). 1. Sick Of Being Told, as she explains in her concerts, tells the story of the first time the execs ran her over in a phone call 2. Insane Sometimes, I think tells the story of what she calls her `awkward' song writing sessions where she would be introduced to a stranger and then left in a room with them to write a song, or maybe it's just about seeing the exec she had to battle with. 3. Burned seems to be the story of her fighting to get Darkness Keeps Chasing Me included on this album even though it is different than all the rest and considerably more mature. I think she's the fire in Burned and the exec is the little boy. I have no idea what actually happened, but I imagine she pulled out the big guns by calling Simon directly who told the execs to back the fuck off. The Billboard interview is key, it is so impressive, and it makes it clear how much she has had to struggle to stay herself instead of being packaged as the new flavor of the month pop star. You've seen her concerts where she is barefoot and wearing bohemian dresses---this is most emphatically her, and she has won, and her antagonists at the record company have been forced to back off. The fact that she has the maturity and presence of mind to make this happen, instead of being led around by the nose like a little girl, is just amazing, and not only at her age, but at any age. Shania Twain was 25 when she was forced to put out a bland first album of cover songs that sounded like everyone else, and it wasn't until after that album and concert tour failed that Mutt Lange got involved and helped her put out her own music. But Grace wouldn't be pushed around like that. Yeah, Grace!

[@petrareacts9681]

+Michael Lauer I LOVE this comment! Thank you so much for describing it to me:)

[@genejohnson2144]

Thanks for all this information. It definitely shows more of Graces struggles and let's Us see that She's even stronger than We thought. I already thought She was a strong girl but Now I see that Her inner strength is even greater than I gave Her credit for. Grace VanderWaal is Amazing. Nice Comment!

[@Cal99ers]

Good theory, it will take some time to take that all in. Something to think about, I always thought Burned and Better Life was Grace talking to her brother. I think she was talking to Olivia in the songs Florets and So Much More Than This

[@xtrabass646]

If she won that fight why says she doesn't deserve the award at all but rather those who supported her including her record company ?

[@Cal99ers]

people who supported and helped her get that far where she could have that fight, many have faded away after they win

I love that you love grace and glad you both have a big heart. Everything you said I agree with very much.. her music heals and makes me believe in love & humanity it’s beautiful. I’ve seen a couple of your reaction videos to her music it makes me happy to see others being moved by all her “gracefulness” and empathetic amazing heart ... anyway thanks for sharing your admiration for grace I’m a grace fan and now Petra fan now too! :)

[@petrareacts9681]

+YourStudiO.org ❤❤❤

[@Hypermarlin]

Empathy - yes, that's right Petra. Thank you for your great reaction to Grace's speech.

[@lek844]

Lots of great comments here. This speech will "go viral." You're right, Petra. The reason Grace triggers such deep emotions in people is that she's an empath and wears her feelings on her sleeves. Grace was the last performer of the night, and, just before this acceptance speech, Grace had given an unforgettable performance of "Moonlight." The speech itself was the most dramatic moment of the entire night. BTW, you might have noticed Kelly Clarkson in the audience in tears. She won American Idol back in 2002, when she was 19, and she's now a huge star with a spectacular voice. But, honestly, I don't think there were many dry eyes in the house. It would be hard to overestimate the importance of this night for Grace. Billboard is perhaps the most respected "celebrity" authority in the industry, and the audience was filled with many of the most important artists, producers, and executives in the music world. I'm pretty sure this night will supercharge Grace's already meteoric rise to fame.

[@divitdean2359]

Love your reaction, Petra

[@dafyd242]

this is why a lot of us call her Amazing Grace!!

[@marklalonde4878]

Thanks Petra! That audience was enraptured by Grace, and it wasn't a normal audience; it was an audience filled with jaded and cynical music industry insiders and artists that have been through the mill themselves, and yet they were all focused on her and moved to tears by her. This was Grace's first adult-level music industry award, and she stole the show. Selena Gomez followed Grace after the acceptance speech you just reacted to in order to accept the Woman of the Year award. Even though Selena nearly died a few months ago due to imminent kidney failure brought on by Lupus, and she was presented her award by the woman who donated the kidney that saved her, there weren't a third as many tears shed for her in that audience. Grace's charisma and genius is undeniable now. Last night clinched it; anyone who pretends otherwise is foolish.

[@Cal99ers]

How many singers there thought the only reason Selene was in the audience was because of disney's machine, There was a time when disney mattered when it came to talent

[@drewpall2598]

Simply Amazing from such a young but mature soul.......

[@voicetube]

Thank you SO much for this Petra!! I am generally not into "reaction videos" that you are different - yours are definitely a cut above! Also I had a thought while reading various comments below: Grace talks about people who helped her as bridges across negativity she has had to wade through, etc … I would just like to say that GRACE helps US by, with her music, building bridges across OUR pain, suffering etc. (with a better place at the other side of the river :-))

[@denisevanderlick3993]

Such an adorable young lady! Yes,old soul. So humble. God is blessing everyone with special young talents... Grace,Angelica, Darcy to name a few. With all of the craziness in our world, these precious babies are shining lights that give us hope. I feel God is speaking through tgem

[@Smitty427NJ]

Petra, I never used to watch these reaction videos. The first one I heard is when you reacted to the So Much More Than This video on the FanderWaals page. I saw this on the page also and I am blown away by your wonderful sincerity and also your amazing grasp of a language that is a second language to you and marvel at how you express yourself in it better than I do who was born here. Empathy was the correct word and you seem to have plenty of it yourself and that probably is one of the reasons that you have become so attached to Grace VanderWaal. I also just watched your video on Darkness Keeps Chasing me and that was as moving as anything I've seen so far. Thanks for doing this.

[@petrareacts9681]

+John S. Thank you so so so much for this comment!!💙

[@Sartorri4666]

You are an empath too Petra. It takes an incredibly strong person to take on that much emotion. You are strong, very well spoken, and the first and best weirdo.😘

[@lescox8667]

It is that empathy for others that is why this wonderful young girl is able to write the sensational and beautiful lyrics she does. She like you Petra allows her heart to sometimes rule her head, that will hurt sometimes but you cannot change the way you are, and we don't want you or Grace to change that.

[@jesseoliver3575]

les cox it’s probably better to forget people like that anyway

Not going to raise the issue again, but I assume you refer to a nasty comment that I reported to You Tube, They then removed it immediately which suggests they were already aware. Thanks though for your thoughts.

[@ronaldobalog1469]

Good afternoon, Petra! My name is Ronaldo, I was born and I live in Brazil (I hope you have heard good things about my country). I met you when I started to follow the trajectory of GRACE VANDERWAAL and I ended up becoming your big fan. A great proof that you are a special person is that you improve what is already perfect. Example: You have the power to value, enrich, enlighten the work of this new phenomenon that is Grace. From then on, I started to accompany you in your other videos and I came to the same conclusion, you have the power to value people and your work, in the end, I fell in love (in a good way and with all respect), for his work, his simplicity and transparency that conveys in his gestures, tears and especially in the gleams of his eyes. May God continue to enlighten you more and more and give you strength to overcome all the barriers that come in your life. Reflect: what the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the creator calls the butterfly. Hugs. PS. I hope you understand the translation from Portuguese into English and I'm sorry I can not speak or write in English, so I depend on Google translator. Strong hug! Mostrar menos RESPONDER

[@petrareacts9681]

+J. Michael Nolan 💚💚💚

[@Cal99ers]

I like your word empathic, another thing to think about and i'm not sure how close I am about this, I haven't met her, you have. The ability to stand up in front of Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez etc., at her age and stay that focused is mind bobbling. I our country Grace is a grade 8 student, Gr. 8 students fall apart just knowing Selena is in the next room let alone stand up and sing and do a speech too. It's probably why she had problems with friends, because she is so much more mature then them

[@camilamunoz2325]

Tú reaccionas a todo lo que hace Grace, me encanta!

One thing that I feel could have been a challenge for Grace was getting the recording industry to let her be her own person, they will have developed ideas to take her in what they thought would be the most profitable direction for them and they would have insisted that due to years of experience they knew best. Many in that industry are very manipulative so the challenge for an artist of her age would be to stand her ground and insist that she do it her way and only her way and if they want a piece of the pie they let her be just Grace doing her music her way.

[@ellenhibray6618]

Grace has said that's what inspired her to write " Sick of Being Told".

[@jamesgriego1089]

Grace Vanderwaal is the fearless, humble, intelligent, song writer that can have just Ukulele in front of top music industries executives and women and men in music, you could hear a needle drop, I don't care who you are where your from how old your are, Grace can cut into you soul!

I was hoping you would react it this and could not have clicked faster.

Don't share their pain, share your love

[@MrKmoconne]

I worry a little for Grace. She is an amazing person. I just hope she knows people don't expect her to be amazing all the time.

Best acceptance speech ever made by a 13 year old. Had half the audience in tears.

[@kurtisle]

That one always gets me. And, if you go after bad people who use or abuse our Grace, stop by and pick me up and we'll go kick some butts!!!!

[@stevebarnett525]

hey Petra thanks for keeping us up Grace, she is amazing! If you have time and you love 80s music like me, watch Chloe on the Voice, she does incredible versions of Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart and Blondie's Call Me!!!

[@agnolyn5788]

ilove u Grace me to I cry also

[@jamierich6688]

Not deserving that award isn't what she's saying, she's saying that she does deserve that award, but, there's thousands of others before her that they could have picked to have that award, but, they picked her to have the award Petra

[@TheSpookychick]

I think she literally meant she doesn't deserve it. Her parents do. They got her to the AGT stage. Her fans do. They're the ones who purchased her albums, supported her, and went to her shoes. Syco and Columbia do. They helped put the album together and distribute it. Billboard helped promote her. She's being honest and humble. If it weren't for this team, she wouldn't be at this stage in her life.

[@Cal99ers]

There are many children with talent who have parents that don't want them to be entertainers. When a writer or producer gets an award it says a lot about the person they hire to sing the song or read the script. If a producer gets an award in the future they know it was because of Grace

[@Sartorri4666]

Jamie Rich whoa I think you need to listen again. You missed the whole point of what and who Grace is.

[@jamierich6688]

React to this Grace Vanderwaal surprise video Petra kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4vdeYaknsSVfNE

[@SuperPalaver]

And coming out Monday is a new music video for So Much More Than This: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5K8g4qVhbR5h9U I believe next year will be even more incredible for Grace!

Probably "Empathetic" rather than "empathic". The two words have as their root the word "empathy" - being able to sense the feelings of others. "Empathic" is often used in scientific writings, but "empathetic" is more common in ordinary parlance. And there's more: "Empathetic" is fairly straight-forward, meaning the ability to sense the emotions of others, largely by taking external and sometimes subtle cues from a person's appearance, statements, tone-of-voice - pretty much anything one could notice about someone else on an objective level. It's kind of like "sympathy" on steroids. "Empathic" can mean the same thing. (It was original the preferred word.) However, the way it has been treated by modern non-scientific writers suggests or outright states that the "empathic" ability to sense someone else's emotional state is a kind of ESP (extra-sensory perception, similar to telepathy). This form of the word is often used in science-fiction writing to mean the ability to directly receive the emotions and sensations being felt by someone else, as if the other person were a kind of sensory transmitter and the empath (empathic person) a receiver collecting the sensory data being "broadcast" by that someone else. Perhaps the best way of putting it is this: If someone bumped his/her head on something, the empathetic person would say, "Oh, I'm so sorry you hurt yourself." The empathic person would say, "Ouch, that really hurt." The question then is: Which one is Grace? That I can't answer. Common sense tells me she's very empathetic, but the seemingly inexplicable miracle of her music says she's actually empathic.

She is als from Dutch original. Vader is Dutch.

You should watch Mackenzie Ziegler new song ( Breathe ) sings about Suicide and depression and what you should do about it, One of her best. Not sure if wrote it or help write it, she is now writing her own music.

[@Cal99ers]

Mackenzie can sing???

[@SuperPalaver]

Cal 99ers Not really. It's a bit of auto tuned pop debris pretending to be singing. Maddie is simply going along with the machine and capitalising while she can, and quality isn't relevant. Nice enough kid, and her fans will lap it up, but it's instantly forgettable.

[@jamesgriego1089]

Empathetic, that's the word your looking for.

[@timeywimey7467]

Plz react to florets by her!!! I beg ya

I have a treat for Petras Weirdos.... I wrote a poem about weirdos winning a war... That's pretty cool but it gets even better... The poem is 80 words long and every word begins with "W"... lol Let Me know what You guys think... When We wonder why we're wishing worldly wisdom wasn't wasting Wretched weakness will withdrawl while Whimsied writings work within With white winters whailing winds We win wee wars with weapons warping Well willed wishers weakly whisper wondrous wit while weirdos win Warplanes wingspan wrought with weapons wartime widows woefully weeping Witless wraiths wield worldly warfare Wasting wit while wars woven Whole worlds waters wracked with warships Weighty wrecked wills waivering worldwide wellness widespread wonder whole worlds well when weirdos win

[@dwellingundertheshadowofth1990]

You should do a react on Alexx Calise song "Breathe" featuring Nia Sioux. It has a really good meaning, considering the racial division that's going on in the world.

[@robertcarpenter6047]

Petra, If you have not seen the video, Windex: The Story Of Lucy, you really should watch it. It's actually a commercial for Windex, but It's like a music video for Grace VanderWaal's Beautiful Thing. Beware, you will need a whole box of tissues watching this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYapgXqPi82gidU
