Can you believe a thirteen year old can sing this song with this kind of depth and passion? What I really love is she didn't say "hey this will increase my fan base"(because obviously this is not a song to appeal to young teens)--she heard it and just knew she had to sing it. She is, at this point just going with her passions and her instinct. Which, almost paradoxically, will increase her fan base.

Few singers of any age would dare include a song like River in such a young, boisterous audience. Yet here´s Grace! She approaches them, sits almost among them, a million hands trying to touch her, her guitar, her dress. And she never loses the emotion this song conveys. You can feel even the religious tone in her, the repentance, the pathos, when inches from her another world is screaming at the top of their lungs. So impressive! And this genius, once her song is over, she stands up, her beautiful face still serious and concentrated, turns her back to them, goes to have a sip of water... and two seconds later, she turns around and faces her young crowd with a winning, shining smile. She has just introduced her fans to the appreciation of feelings other than the ones they´re used to listening to!

@@redmarilynn With a singer like Grace, I want to hear very word she says, and how she says it. I don't want to strain to hear her singing or talking.

Abby Ferguson Thank you so much sharing this up close video.

What an amazing combination - enormous talent, youthful exuberance and a level of professionalism and maturity you'd never expect from a 14 year-old.

Speaking of talent, voice, music, all of this is very strong in the artist's work, but one of the things that stands out most in her events is the ability to communicate and get closer to her audience, the energy that emanates from her events is very high, with good songs and an excellent power of interpretation, congratulations and “success always” !!!

I am convinced that a stage-side seat at a Grace concert is the all time most awesome, personal and memorable experience in the history of music. And I had a stage-side seat at an Elvis (wearing his white cape) concert at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake in 1969! Thank you for this Abby!!

I love her joy. It's infectious. You can't help but smile and giggle. She makes you feel happy just looking at her.

tears of joy just for looking at her expressing her passion about what she is doing...... such a crazy young woman!!! so underrated!!!

She’s not really underrated. She’s flying under the radar a little bit. But she has a huge rabid following and she’s building a massive catalog of great material.

Wow, what a performer! As usual, Grace is beyond amazing.

Man, sitting on the stage her body language says that she's done well and adapted to the drastic life changes she's experienced by becoming a young and super talented artist that has worlds of potential because her singing/songwriting is way beyond her years and it's incredible, considering her age especially, how beautifully raw this girl's vocals are already just leaves me in awe. It's so apparent that her purpose on earth is to use her pipes because she's got many years to enjoy creating music

All I can say is be ready for this little lady she's here to stay wow !!!!

Shame this has so few views. Thank You for sharing these momentous moments

Bravo what a good recording you have one of the best recordings of her tour out there

Perfect cover.

she puts her heart in this song!

Abby - this is an incredible video. THANK YOU for capturing this

“M” I wish I could add something to your comments but you have said it all & left me only to agree completely. So poised, so glad an artist like Grace is out there to drown out the crazy stuff that people call music today.

Cool 👍👌

what a beautiful moment.. thanks for capturing it.

Grace has that effect on all of us. I have cried so many times, because of her. She should be sponsored by Kleenex.

Grace is all good, she really renews herself is always looking for new things, perfecting has a beautiful vocal and a great harmony with her band their work is perfect and she is amazing! Congratulations and "success always" !!!

Grace VanderWaal Rocks!!!😎💜💜💜

Fans as acolytes, venerating their St. Grace with outstretched arms as she does gospel. In her blood-red gown, the intense light on her face and the crowd in shadows, it looks like a Caravaggio canvas out of the Renaissance.

Children are so pure and sensitive. I was thinking about, they're reaching out and keep their hands like they reach deeper into Graces aura. Maybe they just feel the purity of Gods love emitting out of this so blessed angel. Children are very smart and unbiased in terms of those energies :)

You're absolutely right. It was just one of those moments in time. When everything just comes together perfectly .. I hate to say it.. It was magic.

If I could hear Grace cover any song of my choice, I would love to hear her cover Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones. I guarantee that she could re-create that song well as she has others.

Wynter Rose..Don't be so silly, she was sitting right there with her fans so she and her minders were fully aware she would be touched. If she cared about that she would not have sat so close to them. They were all young, mostly girls and obviously Grace wanted to be near them. I guess she felt safe with them and remember each one of those fans support and adore her.

@@tobytoxd Excellent points you make... very excellent!! Just want to add that Grace treats her fans - ESPECIALLY the young ones - like we are a gift to her as well. One of the most rewarding experiences of my life was a Grace concert. I was on the rail just a few feet in front of her and the connection she makes with her fans is truly special... it really comes off as a very personal experience, as if she was performing just for me! I began my concert experience with legends such as The Beach Boys, Nat King Cole and, yes Elvis white cape and all (my wife got one of his sweaty hankies) but I never felt any closeness with them the way I did with Grace! Special indeed!
