Grace VanderWaal: CHILDSTAR: Final Act

An 18 minute video is an event that has no precedent in the music biz Grace, this is a genius move. And the minimalist/non-existent stage setting? There was nothing to distract the viewer's focus on you and the dancers, brilliant. And about the professional choreography of modern interpretive dancing? The transition from song to song was absolutely seamless, and it vitally enhanced and underscored the message you are conveying; that of the perilous voyage of a child star...A child star breaking free from the constraints of those who would seek to control your pure natural born, innate creativity ...Bravo! And last but most certainly not the least, your vocals... Bellissimo! Never better! Whenever I hear your voice, I hear echoings of The Eternal. This pure artistic endeavor, in this fan's opinion, is not only a watermark event for you alone, but also for the entirety of the music and stage industry as a whole...A bravura accomplishment of no small significance. Well done, well done indeed Grace.

A perfect combination of lyrics, voice, music, dance, and emotional expression. Each element complements and enhances the others. Grace took a risk by combining it all for 18 minutes, in these times of haste and limited attention , and the result is a performance that captures your attention artistically and emotionally, because what you see and hear isn't just dancing or singing; it's a wonderful and powerful artistic expression.

Grace continues to grow and evolve as an artist. She now demonstrates that she also has a talent for dance and choreography, as she co-directed and co-choreographed this performance.

I can only congratulate her and thank her for this performance.
