Grace VanderWaal Full Interview and Performances (Enhanced Audio) - Elvis Duran - May 25 2018

[@springhillgolfer878]

Help. I'm falling down another Grace VanderWaal rabbit hole. I can't help myself.

[@lescox8667]

Apart from this girls amazing talent it is her personality that has made untold numbers across the planet to fall in love with her. Grace interviews about as perfectly and naturally as any performer I have ever heard.

[@randahayes9382]

I agree completely. It's her whole package of talents and personality that make us adore her.

[@zipwizardhilot]

Grace makes everything new again. The song Clearly is climbing the charts. Her Vanderwall Treatment is awesome. (Yes... there is such a thing as the Vanderwaal sound/brand already.) She is becoming a legend, and can only get better.

[@markuse3472]

It is her genuineness that makes me like her.

[@jamessmithe5490]

You can see it in any video Grace is in; hell, her Strawberries video when she was twelve is up to 100k views. She is a natural performer and storyteller.

[@007peligroso]

Howie Mandel said it all: “You are a living, beautiful walking miracle! “ And: “Stay just the way you are!” BRAVO!

[@VinaAspara]

It's indescribable how much this tiny child has enriched my life.

[@swalterstennis]

I’m with ya 100%.

[@boblillyjr.1475]

I am moved every time I hear her sing. She is a gift and we are blessed to have her among us. She is an ethereal, authentic, beautiful soul! Love, love, L O V E her! :)

[@jannordlund4272]

Its no secret that I love Grace and her performances, but her interviews are also so awesome. Grace is like two different people, When not performing or interviewing she's like a 14 yr old kid. When she's performing she's a twenty something professional performer. Damn, On these interviews she is so poised and smart, its hard to believe. Not to put down her performances, I enjoy her interviews just as much as her performances... I'm just lost for more words that I can say for her.

[@guyheck9225]

I call me "darnouta", cause I'm darnouta adjectives for her, l love her so much 🤘✌️😁

[@SirRobertHart]

Grace's voice was perfect for the song she covered. I've never been comfortable with the word raspy or husky to describe her voice. Grace's voice is unique and incredible. When I find the write word or phrase, I'll write a blog post about it.

[@Calers-gu1ib]

Husky is a closer description

[@6strings735]

Lloyd - I agree with you. Love Grace's unique voice, complete with voice cracks, etc. Husky does seem a bit off to describe it, and smokey doesn't quite match either. (Looking back at the AGT audition, Grace's sister's speaking voice also has that similar quality.) Grace is awesome.

[@gastrogal5353]

GastroGal How about she has a unique voice with a beautiful tone that allows her light to shine through?

[@Largeagegaplove]

I love her interviews as much as her performances. Grace is amazing!

[@MrUncle2009]

What a phenomenal little person! Her singing just goes straight to my soul. This from a little 14 year old girl.

[@alamo3955]

Perfectly said .

[@EclecticScout]

How wonderful it is, that even in these crazy times, we have a person like Grace that we can be proud of.

[@jeffwoollen1366]

Props to Elvis Duran... one interviewer who never ONCE was patronizing towards Grace, never ONCE brought up age or AGT, and spoke to her like the adult human she (mentally) and (emotionally) is! Best interview right up there with Zack Sang, the difference being that Zack is in the younger generation and Elvis is older. Way to go Grace and Elvis! I come back to this interview a couple of times each year.

[@breathefree.]

Grace Vanderwaal is a treasure. Her songwriting is authentic and it's clear it's coming from her. She and Bono are my favorite songwriters. How's that for range? Bono says he can't keep himself from writing when a melody or lyric come into his mind. He has to write it down. I get the feeling that Grace is similar. She's written a lot of good songs in a short time, and I love what she did with Clearly. I wish Elvis had asked her about the change of lyric from "I can see all obstacles in my way" to "I accept all the things that I cannot change." Good interview, Elvis (just hearing this, two years later).

[@jonathanvince8173]

Wow This shows just how good Grace is and will only get better. Wow that Mendes song was fantastic by Grace.

[@randylinn502]

Her voice, just melts my heart... She is a beautiful Dutch girl... Glad to be Dutch!!!

[@bubamaranovichok4901]

It does not matter what kinda girl she is the point is she is ours. I mean not American not any other nationality because she is the most outstanding human being, I ever seen in my 72 and half years.sooo every person who has a little understanding of what is going on in the world today I hope will agree with me.about her voice I see a lot of Joan Jett, a little of Janis Joplin but her songwriting is out of this world.at least but not last is she turn out to be one really really beautiful Dutch Girl.

[@skyphotography4918]

W. O. W!! I’m 57 years old I just love her music to bits.

[@AlanTauber-DrumConnection]

Grace, I just listened to this whole interview even though I had seen this back in 5/26/18 but you are really so damn bright and really funny, so so funny. I can see why you touch so many lives on levels. You are so cool and I am happy to have hugged you in the photoshoot in Boston. I was a little afraid but you are so so sweet as we all know. Thanks for being on this planet and I'm sure I'll see you again at another show. You know, Allie Sherlock is in LA right now trying to get some style and control and songwriting stuff and probably recording a little bit. Peace - always love to you. Alan Boston form Utica Video

[@AlanTauber-DrumConnection]

Hey Sam. She was just awesomely normal. Like you can just hang and she’d never make you feel weird. She just blew me out in space. She was sick with 101 temp but she really gave it over the top. Her voice was weak and the high register was getting lost. She loves her audiences and she’s working on making a full life. Really cool

[@isayabernard2100]

Elvis I gotta tell you this, am from East Africa and I just love this clip with Grace vanderwaal! It's just amazing

[@jamessmithe5490]

I'll say this...As a Fanderwaal I buy everything she puts out and love every song. :)

[@loracastillo5857]

Love Love Grace personality and voice. I am in my mid 50's my kids are like mom she is a teen.I love music always have.When I saw her perform on AGT I knew she was going to win I got chills told my daughter that little girl is going to make it big! Keeping being you and you will make it big!

[@wileycousins9698]

My jaw drops every time this genius opens her mouth to sing. If this keeps going like it has, my poor jaw will have to be fetched from some other universe. Grace just sings from her bone marrow.

[@danbiccum2237]

Grace is additive,i can't get enough of her.she all I listen to.she has this amazing feeling in her singing that just draws you in and captivates you. LOVE I MEAN LOVE GRACE.

[@osovagabundo1]

this is the most common comment on her boards and when fans chat with each other. for many we're astonished that there's no sign of fading. i have to sit and listen to some every day. i tried to put n a playlist to have as background music, that didn't work 'cause you want to take it all in.

[@susanjay5507]

I absolutely, without doubt, love you more today than I did when I first heard you Grace! You are a box of oats!! LOL! Cutest, most real young lady ever. I am sitting here smiling and I'm so happy you are doing what you were born to do. At times, it may feel like the weight becomes as if a ton of worlds are being held up by your hands and maybe they are but that's because you are light! Much love to you sweetie!

[@user-hy5wi1hv6i]

We love you Grace🦋🦋🦋

[@lonk_daboi6219]

I love how humble she is. Hope that never changes.

[@kevinwood6206]

I have been listening to this on loop (well In My Blood) with Bluetooth for the past three hours and I have to say I really hope Grace stays with the acoustic sound she does(i.e. the Bean Runner and MTV roof top performance). I really think her voice is her strength and really hope she considers a all acoustic album. Great video Sam.

[@gregcadman6102]

An all acoustic album would blow my mind

[@Calers-gu1ib]

It's her best, doing it that way but being a strictly acoustic artist gives her a Melanie Safka size audience, doing it grander gives her a Adele size audience. We want to see Grace get as big as possible without compromising her music

[@kevinwood6206]

I agree that we all want to see Grace's stock rise, but if you look at the numbers just on you tube her more acoustic sounds have by far been more viewed than her over produced album, EP, and music videos. Maybe all acoustic is the wrong wording but a simple song like Riptide at the Brooklyn Library (as well as non-produced Clearly) is viewed more than her music videos and songs off her album says a lot about keeping a more simple sound.

[@osovagabundo1]

in the vein of doing what ever i think a double release would be a great thing. a produced album that she can experiment and grow and an acoustic album both dropped on te same day

[@Calers-gu1ib]

Too me it's like acoustic "stairway to heaven" then doing "Immigrant song" I would hate if Grace restricted her creativity to just acoustic songs

[@paultisme]

Just watched this again, beauuuuuuuuuutiful... and thankfully, excellent recording to catch every little perfect drop of her voice and performances... ahhhh, blissed out.. ☺️

[@paultisme]

And seen/watched it again, I'm just a puddle on the floor now.... Feels more real watching Grace performing than real emotional experiences... Wooooooooo 🙂

[@richarda4020]

Damn this girl is so good. So glad to see her rise from AGT. Maybe the best winner ever.

[@j.michaelnolan6388]

!amazing grace as usual....elvis duran and staff, one of the best interviews ever

[@drogonr9318]

for some crazy reason, grace's shawn mendes cover just won't get out of my head. and so i come back to youtube to replay it yet again. over the past few days, i think i'm up to 10. the magic of the muse.

[@jamessmithe5490]

I knew she was special ten seconds after hearing her first song on AGT. Kind of proud to know I was right.

[@knndyskful]

How can you not love this girl, this performance makes me cry

[@zedlips]

Man oh man Grace you are a one of a kind artist, a gift to humanity!! Keep up the great work making the world a better place with your beautiful gift.

[@alvinteasley2255]

she's so down to earth it's amazing! hopefully she'll retain that quality as she gets older and doesn't let fame go to her head. I absolutely LOVE her voice!

[@Calers-gu1ib]

Something tells me she will always set high standards for herself

[@moonatnoon5553]

Its been 4 years since AGT, and her soul has only gotten more breathtakingly beautiful and deep. These were the formative years. She is now beyond mesmerizing. There are no words for her talent now. This Elvis Duran appearance was 2 years ago. There is no danger of Grace going over to the dark side.

[@Hypermarlin]

Thank you Sam. Great to have this all in one place.

[@QuahChoonHuat]

Wonder how loud it would have been has she not faced away from the mic all those times she go full blast in Clearly?

[@rusobrian4612]

Just shows you how much of a pro she is....made it sound perfect

[@HotelPapa100]

Q. C. H.: I assume she overloaded the mike during sound check and they decided to go that route rather than turn the volume all the way down for the quieter parts.

[@marcopuritan8155]

I luv this interview, fun to watch Grace is such an honest & sweet girl #REALY Love her singing- with the first note, I was so Hit by the emotion it's driving!🤧🤧♥️♥️💯💯🎵🎧

[@jolintuitif1402]

one more thanks Sam , always exceptionnel , the gorgeous Grace ! And the cover of Shawn Mendez ....! But also Shawn on phone , amazing !

[@barryweyandt2682]

That was the fastest 28 minutes of my life, the girl is just magnetic.

[@TheSniperdog1]

such a natural at everything she is doing. It doesn't matter if it's singing or giving an interview she is just so adorable. People can no longer compare her to anyone else because she Is " GRACE " and there is only one Star Girl.

[@jamessmithe5490]

I agree. It's why she won AGT. Sure, she writes brilliant lyrics, great melodies, but its her ability to convey the emotion of a song that makes people fans. She is a natural actress; it's why she is going to shine as Stargirl. If you haven't seen her vid about strawberries please check it out; a natural born storyteller.

[@bingo67lum]

That cover of "In my Blood" was just incredible! And Shawn is very gracious.

[@allthings.stranger]

This sounds like a studio recording. Amazing...

[@AlanTauber-DrumConnection]

Clare W yes it does. A radio station can easily produce studio sound because they are in a music studio. I’ve personally made some of my best recordings in a radio station! Not uncommon.

[@jamessmithe5490]

Grace is a genius. I just know it.

[@brentbrown424]

Thank you! Feel like Shawn & Grace would be a dynamic team. His new album is very good imo and similar to Grace's style. And they seem to genuinely like and respect each other.

[@jamessmithe5490]

He gave her a guitar, and has said he thinks she's going to be really big someday. So, it's just a matter of time I think. Maybe even romantically in five or six years.

[@jackietunberg5819]

It's probably my intuition and dream but he seems a little sweet on her.

[@moonatnoon5553]

Or perhaps it is that he sees Grace as the genius she is and understands she is simply worthy of his respect and admiration, without romantic connotations. She is, after all, that good.

[@brianjames5552]

Wow. Everytime i hear her. Wow.. Thank you for sharing .

[@danbiccum2237]

I know grace is on her way to becoming one of the greatest singers ever.I don't know if its me,her next song is better the one before,even though the on before was was unbelievable.I don't want to miss any of them. Which leads to what i feel,i think grace might be just as talented be a actress.,the way she moves,her emotions in her voice..She is the mocst talented artist,and you'll see she'll be on of the greatest actresses of all time. IM A FAN. (go get them grace

At first I didn't like In My Blood but listening to Grace sing it for a third time I realize it's quite good; though that's probably because of Grace. Actually sounds like something Grace would write.

[@jamessmithe5490]

I'm very glad he admires Grace so much; he's so successful right now that has to help. But honestly, I think Darkness Keeps Chasing Me is a better song.

[@christinevr7698]

James Smithe I chuckled when I saw your comment... just about everyone that hears DKCM is blown away. IMO it’s the best song on her album, and so we (DKCM diehards) wants to hear this song released, in it’s own right, with a gorgeous video, because it’s so freaking incredible and it needs a huge audience because of it’s brilliance, am I right?

[@jamessmithe5490]

It's interesting that Shawn's name comes up around Grace quite a bit and she picked his album to sing. I think they may be crushing on each other although there is quite a large age difference but he doesn't seem to be a womanizer either...maybe the feelings are brotherly...time will tell. She could start dating in another year at 16 and Shawn is 20?

[@Drumconnection]

@@jackietunberg5819 I don't think so. Shawn Mendes is a contemporary and friend of Grace. If you listen to musical singer/songwriter styles, you may hear Grace and you will hear Shawn. Grace is really into being into her work and her downtime she spends with her family and close friends. I don't think that they'll be dating. Just my opinion knowing where Grace is coming from, I believe. Best! Alan

I find it interesting how Grace edition 2018 can switch between Record-Ready Performance Mode, where she's all but imperfect, quite the contrary, actually, and Singalong Concert Mode, where she lays the focus on interacting with the crowd, with all the bloopers we've come to enjoy and love her for.Look at her performances on MTV, or here, for solo performance Grace. "River" on MTV blows me away every time I watch it, which is often. Same for "A-Team".

Grant Hendricks Agreed. Grace sounds different on dif mics and we’re aware of it. Paste Studios mic is the all time best mic for Grace. But when you add a band behind her, that changes everything. Then I believe she goes with the Shure SM58 or something similar. She has great natural mic control as well and I love how she squeezes it and taps on it with great feeling from within. She is awesome! 😎

I think it would be interesting if we Fanderwaals started a tradition of never recording So Much More Than This, live, from this time forward. I think we should at least resist recording it. It would become a song with few live performance video/audio available, making them worth more. This would draw attention to the song, which draws attention to the message. And it would serve as it's own example of putting theory in to physical, tangible, practice....just a thought 😎..... and it's what Grace wants.
