Judges doubted her song choice

Howie Mandel pressed the Golden Buzzer and Simon Cowell called her the next Taylor Swift. This speaks volumes of the incredible vocal abilities of Grace VanderWaal who stunned millions with her first ever audition on America’s Got Talent when she was just 12. Her choice of song made the judges question her performance, but she was able to stun over 50 million viewers who had seen her audition.

Asked if she believed she could win the competition, charming Grace answered, “Well, miracles can happen.”“I’m doing my own song tonight, because I really think that it shows who I am,” Kansas-born Grace said. “I hope. I hope it does.”

Grace accompanied herself on ukulele. Most of her friends and classmates learned that she actually sings and writes songs when she took the stage of the talent show. It was right there and then that she let her distinctive voice and her song-writing skills shine, spilling the secret of her love for music.“I don’t know my name. I don’t play by the rules of the game,” the lyrics went. “So you say I’m just trying, just trying.”
