I remember this as if it were yesterday, I was in tears for her and rooted for ever since, she is heaven sent and brought great joy and peace to so many of us. thank u for the memories Petra
Grace Vanderwaal's best performance to date was the original song she wrote to celebrate her sister entitled "Beautiful thing". She sang it in the quarter finals of this same talent show.
Yes. I define her career at this point by that performance, and "Stray" live from the Slipper Room in 2019. Grace at her fullest. And in 2016 that was only her second performance before a large audience, and first on broadcast TV. You can see she felt the pressure, but didn't buckle to it - in fact responded to it. So much in between those 2 bookmarks, but the other standout is "Moonlight" at the Billboard Awards, and her speech. Once again responds to unprecedented pressure - 13, performing in front of the biggest names in the business, stars she barely dreamed of getting their autograph now watching her on stage - and she brought them to their feet. Then brought them to tears.
Petra, your reaction to Grace's audition is priceless. Her music touches many generations. I had to go and buy her EP after watching her videos, and I'm 56 years old. I can't believe, I'm an adult and I am so moved,by her singing, and she's only 13 years old. I love your reaction videos, please continue them. They help me stay young at heart.
Your exactly right, this is a voice you'll recognize on the radio, for sure. I can't wait! She wrote all her songs she performed and if you go on her youtube channel, she has way more original songs (She's a WRITING MACHINE!). She is adorable and reminds me of my lil girl (who's grown now).
You actually look like her...you could pass for the adult version of her...! Please reaction to her other performances. You won't regret it! Would love to see your reaction to them!
There are two dangerous things, the fame and a million dolars, sing and create songs naturally, is the secret, she is broken, she is crying and wait excited send her lovely art to the people
You had such vibrance and enthusiasm and sheer joy when I first saw this three years ago I followed you for a quite a while and then I moved on to other interests like yourself. Work family and friends and hobbies all good in the way and I miss Petra.
watched her again this afternoon.....will again tonight.....she is a magnet of love and a sun that exudes an innocence of joy and life.......your reaction and comments were very "real"....
Petra, dear. Thinking of you preparing to react to Grace's new music, I wondered how a person can do justice to the lyrics, and her emotional on-stage performance, and the new music video she has created. Each is special and deserves our attention. Here's a thought: ask someone you trust who knows Grace's music and has technical skills to prepare three things: a video of a concert performance of the song, and a copy of the lyrics, and the new music video. Put them in whatever sequence you want and react to them, one after the other. You would experience the new song from three perspectives, each one important. Just a thought. Most of all, keep on being you!!
Texas Soundcat Truly a joy to watch your honest reaction. When you can, would LOVE to see your reaction to Laura Bretan on the same show. Another golden-voiced child. I'll be back! BTW, your soul is so beautiful-it comes thru in your eyes !!! :-)))
Hi beautiful Petra, this is the video for which I had the privilege to meet you, we share the same passion for the Amazing Grace. you are amazing too. Love from your weirdo from Bariloche Argentina.
nice video.......many friends in Sweden.....tullingse and sundsvall........love the nature.....this video brings tears to my eyes and when i watched her win the final on youtube
Something tells me that fifty years or so from now, they will be making a movie about her! She is exactly what America has been needing for a long time!! Something pure sweet and REAL!! I sure hope she goes along way!!
The way you pronounce her last name, here in the states it sounded like Wonderwall, to us. My last name is Wagner (which is German) in Germany it is pronounced Vogner. If you switch the V for a W in her last name, you will hear how we pronounce it. Liked the vid, subbed and thumbs up. :)
I dare you! Search Graces "Ex's & Oh's Cover by Ellie King" and it will blow your mind. Also in her "Grace VanderWaal . Cover ~ Riptide by Vance Joy" we see her in her home area comfort zone being relaxed and playful. You'll be awed!
+PaulTurbo HAHA!!!! Good obesrvation there!! I have no idea why I did it or why they did it. Maybe because we were dropping our chins to the floor or didn't want them to fall of or something; ) or too much feelings flying out if we didn't catch them;)💖
always nice to revisit this video. you both blossomed at the same time. I feel you will be both be connected in a way . and so glad you were able to meet each other. have a great day
I agree and my 1 cousin is from Sweden and she's gonna let me go there when I'm 13 or 14 I'm 12 but still yaaaay Iny way u r so sweet and if u see my Cousin Alexsandra say her oldest 1 cousin from USA said hi and your right she is relly good
You seem to periodically check these comments, so I'll add this. You are my favorite reactor, the first I ever subscribed to. This is of course my favorite of your many wonderful Grace reactions. One regret though; you never reacted to her AGT Beautiful Life. Only the studio version, which is very different. But it's never too late. It's probably been years since you heard the AGT version, so a reaction video would be a legitimate reaction. It is such pure, surprising Grace. *Please do this!*
Hi Petra, I love your reaction to watching Grace for the first time. I'm a HUGE Grace fan and have seen as many of these react videos as I can find, and I love finding new ones. But this was one of the first I watched many months ago, and I just had to come back and comment. I'm in the US and I just came back from her Thursday night LV show, and I can tell you that after all that's happened, she's still the same sweet, humble, bubbly little girl you see in the videos. She's a treasure, and we are ALL so very proud of her, just like you said - all over this world.
+Fredee Ziffel 💖Thank you SO MUCH for this comment!!💖 I loved reading it. And I bet Grace will stay humble through her life. She feels like that kind of person💖
Oh Petra. I bet you never thought before you watched this that Grace would become your muse and your idol. It's very cool seeing your first reaction to her because it was mine as well. What's really amazing is that Grace could convey so much in such a limited amount of time; she had to cut her song to 90 seconds and in 90 seconds she became a superstar. What's even more amazing is that this song and this performance was just the tip of the talent iceberg. She has accomplished so much since then; she is truly a genius.
You admit PETRA that this performance changed something in your life, because in my lot. I love GRACE and thank her for all that he does for us. I'm looking forward to the new album.Great kisses for your little daughter. LEONA-Truth?
I wonder if Nick Cannon got Grace's autograph. Having the first autograph right after Grace VanderWaal became The Star Grace VandeWaal would be a collector's treasure. I'm not thinking of monetary value here - it would be truly a unique item, because there can only ever be one first. It would be like having the first penny ($.01) ever minted.
I have a hard time being able to write something coherent about the first time seeing Grace sing and then finding Petra. It is truly amazing how my life has changed since. Still struggling but getting better. Fell back down for a couple of months but am getting back up. Thank you for sharing and for being who you are. Best wishes to you Petra
Speaking of greater than Taylor Swift: here she's right in front of Taylor! Good judgement! creativedisc.com/2017/10/creative-disc-top-50-chart-30-oct-2017/
Had to come back here where it started. Imagine getting hooked on Grace, watching everything you can, looking for more...then pow...come across this video. How wonderful it was to Share the experience of Grace with someone else for the first time. Thank you. Just watched your DKCM reaction video for the ? time and realized I had not seen this in awhile. You have been Graced, biggest side effect?.....random uncontrollable periods of smiling! Be well Petra.
WOW Petra, If You only knew when You did this how close you would be to Grace in the future. I Hope this sparks fond memories and brings a smile to You.
Her qualities are her unique voice, her lyrics and playing the ukulele. Plus, being only 12 yrs ola........The only person that I remember making any type of success playing the ukulele was Tiny Tim.....many, many yrs ago
I watched this 2 years ago, of course, when you first put it up, but it came up in my feed today so I watched it again just to enjoy it. What struck me was how prescient several of your comments were, like you were channeling the future. Good reaction. Interesting to see how far you have come, Petra, congratulations on your progress, too.
love ur candour.u should react to her 2 other perfs: Beautiful Thing ( for her sister) and Light the Sky (especially for us*). She's getting better and better, i know it seems quite impossible, but it's true. * quote: “Grace's mom confirmed on Twitter earlier that Grace wrote/composed/arranged this song in the short time between AGT performances while in LA. Absolutely a remarkable accomplishment. Seasoned artists don't go out on stage with a brand new song until it has had some sort of "beta test" to see if it will be well received.. Grace keeps writing top 40 songs and performing them.... I completely respect and admire that she is staying true to who she is and putting her soul into her work. I thought I knew all of the possibilities for what she might perform in the Semi's and this one caught me completely off-guard. This is by far my favorite song of hers so far, although I keep saying that each time she shares another new one, so what do I know. “i totally agree, but i really don't know which song is the best!
+Sargoss Golek WOW! Thank you for everything in this comment💖 really interesting!! I will totally check some of her other songs out too:) she is so brave and talented!
Watching your reaction gave me a double dose of cute, Grace is cute and you are cute too! You both even have a similar look of cuteness each in your own way!
I remember this as if it were yesterday, I was in tears for her and rooted for ever since, she is heaven sent and brought great joy and peace to so many of us. thank u for the memories Petra

+Donnie Henderson ❤❤❤
I may have to write that down. Love the way you described Grace. You are spot on.

+Alex Ham YES!!!💖💖💖
+MarK Downing That would be really cool! She feels like such an interesting person, even though she is SO young 💖 so talented!
The man who hit the golden buzzer is afraid of germs but he is not afraid of Grace's germs because he knows Grace's germs are those of an angel!
John Doe🤔 no, he has been going to therapy, notice he hugged her but
Didn't really touch her otherwise.😁
You are so sweet, too! It's very touching to see your reaction on her
+Nata Pianomusic 💖💖💖
The way you pronounce her last name, here in the states it sounded like Wonderwall, to us. My last name is Wagner (which is German) in Germany it is pronounced Vogner. If you switch the V for a W in her last name, you will hear how we pronounce it.

"I'm so proud of her and I don't even know her! Imagine her parents.." *Camera switches to proudly nodding mom*
I dare you! Search Graces "Ex's & Oh's Cover by Ellie King" and it will blow your mind. Also in her "Grace VanderWaal . Cover ~ Riptide by Vance Joy" we see her in her home area comfort zone being relaxed and playful. You'll be awed!
+JerryInDFW Thank you:) I'll write it down ❤
This is when your life changes forever .. Petra
I wonder why girls cover their mouth when they feel emotional. At one point all the girls in the video were doing it even Petra, lol. 04:08
+PaulTurbo HAHA!!!! Good obesrvation there!! I have no idea why I did it or why they did it. Maybe because we were dropping our chins to the floor or didn't want them to fall of or something; ) or too much feelings flying out if we didn't catch them;)💖

+Leah Ackerman I know. I just have a hard time saying it right;)
Oh gosh. What is this strange corner of the internet that I have stumbled into.
She'd good, but I'm not really amazed by her.
She looks like grace vanderwaal adult version 😂
+Gabriela Stacy 😉💖
That wannabe 🤣
Lol
a few days ago, she won the whole thing. She's so amazing, her voice is like an angel.
+Lisa Furler REALLY??? I thought she competed a very long time ago:).I am so happy for her!

NOW AND THEN IN MY 82 YEARS I GET TO SEE THE POSSIBLE
Hi Petra, I love your reaction to watching Grace for the first time. I'm a HUGE Grace fan and have seen as many of these react videos as I can find, and I love finding new ones. But this was one of the first I watched many months ago, and I just had to come back and comment. I'm in the US and I just came back from her Thursday night LV show, and I can tell you that after all that's happened, she's still the same sweet, humble, bubbly little girl you see in the videos. She's a treasure, and we are ALL so very proud of her, just like you said - all over this world.
+Fredee Ziffel 💖Thank you SO MUCH for this comment!!💖 I loved reading it. And I bet Grace will stay humble through her life. She feels like that kind of person💖
I had to come back and watch this moment again. That instant bond that happens is hard to forget. Thanks Petra. :)
Isn’t it cool to look back at this reaction and think how at that point you had no idea you would end up meeting her some day??? Lol
It really is!!! Can still not believe it:)
Oh Petra. I bet you never thought before you watched this that Grace would become your muse and your idol. It's very cool seeing your first reaction to her because it was mine as well. What's really amazing is that Grace could convey so much in such a limited amount of time; she had to cut her song to 90 seconds and in 90 seconds she became a superstar. What's even more amazing is that this song and this performance was just the tip of the talent iceberg. She has accomplished so much since then; she is truly a genius.
I must be very elderly. Simon calls her the next Taylor Swift, but to me, it feels like we have a brand-new female Paul Simon, in tween form.
You admit PETRA that this performance changed something in your life, because in my lot. I love GRACE and thank her for all that he does for us. I'm looking forward to the new album.Great kisses for your little daughter. LEONA-Truth?
I wonder if Nick Cannon got Grace's autograph. Having the first autograph right after Grace VanderWaal became The Star Grace VandeWaal would be a collector's treasure. I'm not thinking of monetary value here - it would be truly a unique item, because there can only ever be one first. It would be like having the first penny ($.01) ever minted.
it's fun to watch you go from seeing Grace for the 1st time to becoming one of her biggest fans.
I have a hard time being able to write something coherent about the first time seeing Grace sing and then finding Petra. It is truly amazing how my life has changed since. Still struggling but getting better. Fell back down for a couple of months but am getting back up. Thank you for sharing and for being who you are. Best wishes to you Petra
Hugs to you 💖💜🧡💛💚💙
This little girl is supporting Imagine Dragons in America at the moment! She’s doing VERY well, as she deserves
Speaking of greater than Taylor Swift: here she's right in front of Taylor! Good judgement!

How wonderful it was to Share the experience of Grace with someone else for the first time. Thank you. Just watched your DKCM reaction video for the ? time and realized I had not seen this in awhile.

WOW Petra, If You only knew when You did this how close you would be to Grace in the future. I Hope this sparks fond memories and brings a smile to You.
Gene Johnson I enjoy coming back to watch this every once in a while.
Great comment, Petra, it is just like a movie.
Again, I don't generally watch these reaction videos but you are a treasure!
So this was the day that Petra fell in love with Grace !
She won AGT.
Her qualities are her unique voice, her lyrics and playing the ukulele. Plus, being only 12 yrs ola........The only person that I remember making any type of success playing the ukulele was Tiny Tim.....many, many yrs ago
+Donnie Henderson I know, right???? She is so freaking amazing💖💖💖
And I can only attribute Tiny Tim's success to the excess of psychedelic substances in common usage at the time.
I watched this 2 years ago, of course, when you first put it up, but it came up in my feed today so I watched it again just to enjoy it. What struck me was how prescient several of your comments were, like you were channeling the future. Good reaction. Interesting to see how far you have come, Petra, congratulations on your progress, too.
love ur candour.u should react to her 2 other perfs: Beautiful Thing ( for her sister) and Light the Sky (especially for us*). She's getting better and better, i know it seems quite impossible, but it's true.
