When We Were Young

[@jibrielramos8712]

The American Idol winner 2021 no doubt..

[@vincentjohnflorio]

The only thing more impressive than the pool of talent this year is the fact that she could stand out and kick past all of them.

[@automaticsweetheart2009]

So...you're 20 on Idol which means you were SIXTEEN when you sang this? GIRL. You are INCREDIBLE. Beyond incredible even.

[@automaticsweetheart2009]

By the way, if you sing this song as you sang it here, you will 100% win Idol.

[@waynek805]

@@automaticsweetheart2009 Should have, yes!! But anti-fat bias doomed this dear gal to also-ran status (and that's after she reportedly lost about 100lbs between her peak weight at age of 15-16 years old and where she was in 2021)!! Imagine a 350 lb 16 year old girl who can out-sing anyone including the great Patsy Cline. One word: peerless!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GuantanamoBayBarbie2]

Absolutely flawless. Made me cry.

[@NoellaFierce2]

I hope she re-sings this for idol OMG 😭

[@Tonymoshier93]

I guarantee Grace is saving this for the finale

[@teddygepilano4891]

I think she'll sing this song this week. In her story today she said that she will perform an Adele song and she covered that song in her KZbin channel

[@NoellaFierce2]

@@teddygepilano4891 I’m so excited!! She honestly doesn’t need to change the arrangement at ALL, if she sings it exactly as she does here, she’ll basically secure the win.

[@idontwanttosaymynameonyout1486]

She’s singing it for Mother’s Day 💗

Grace you are the favorite to win this season's American Idol. What a voice. Chills!

[@almostbreathing]

I haven't purchased an album in decades, but I'm going to purchase yours the second you make one. Your dynamics are perfect, your sweet vibrato gives chills, your tone cuts to the bone, and mostly - mostly your expression is so genuine it gives this hardened soul permission to feel again. There hasn't been an artist like you in a long time. I can't wait to follow your career.

There are a lot good and great singers out there and she is one of them. How one reach another level or upper level is the question for he and many others. But a singer/artist loves what they do that’s the most important. And if it comes, it comes. But if not, it is okay to because they/she loves singing and she does❤
