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\u00a0who stunned millions with her first ever audition on\u00a0America\u2019s Got Talent\u00a0<\/em>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.<\/p>\n

Asked if she believed she could win the competition, charming Grace answered, \u201cWell, miracles can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing my own song tonight, because I really think that it shows who I am,\u201d Kansas-born Grace said. \u201cI hope. I hope it does.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

She wowed the judges right from the start; with the opening lines of her original song.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know my name. I don\u2019t play by the rules of the game,\u201d\u00a0the lyrics went.\u00a0\u201cSo you say I\u2019m just trying, just trying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both the judges and the audience were stunned more and more as her song went on.<\/h2>\n

Howie Mandel was quick to comment the performance that took his breath away. \u201cThis is a show about surprises,\u201d he said. \u201cYou used the word miracle, and I think you are a living, beautiful, walking miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then continued praising Grace\u2019s song and performance, adding, \u201cYou\u2019re original. People not knowing your name is so right and so wrong, because I think the world is gonna know your name. I think right now they\u2019re gonna know your name,\u201d referencing the lyrics of the unique piece.<\/p>\n

Simon Cowell wasn\u2019t short of words of praise for the young talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrace, you know what I predict for you,\u201d he said. \u201cI think you are the next Taylor Swift. What a great girl. What a great personality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rest of the judges were as impressed.<\/p>\n
