Throughout her run on America"s Got Talent this summer, Grace VanderWaal has been showered with more praise than just about any other contestant
Heck, Simon Cowell said she"ll be the next Taylor Swift.
The 12-year old earned a Golden Buzzer, advanced to the live rounds of auditions… and then blew away viewers once again last week.
That takes us to Tuesday night.
Once again, VanderWaal performed an original song titled "Light the Sky," proving that she can sing… play an instrument AND write with the best of them.
And, remember, she"s 12 years old.
Yes, 12 years old!
Mel B could not get over this fact.
“Grace, I mean, you’re 12 years old," the judge gushed, adding:
"You have such a unique voice and you’re in such control of everything. At 12 years old, you’re already a superstar.”
This is what Heidi Klum had to say:
“Grace, you are a superstar. You are the real deal, and I would not be surprised if you are one of the last two people standing here.”
Simon Cowell thought VanderWaal’s renditions always work so well because they are so true to who this young woman is.
“I’m so flattered and thrilled that you came on this show to share your talent,” the music mogul told her.
He"s clearly smitten, in a professional manner of speaking.
Finally, Howie Mandel jumped in with the following: “The world knows you could win this.”
Indeed, we do.
Will Grace VanderWaal take the America"s Got Talent title? She has a very good chance.
