Welcome back, this is America's Got Talent
The finals, we are live from Hollywood
Ten acts came to this famous theater
Tonight hoping to win 1 million dollars
And we’ve got just one more act to see
She’s a singer, a songwriter and a ukulele player
And she's still only twelve years old
From Suffern, New York- she is Grace Vanderwaal
"This is I Don't Know My Name by Grace Vanderwaal. I absolutely love you Grace."
Um... oh wait you're not gonna watch this." "I don't know" "My name"
"I don't play by the" "Rules of the game... so you say" GRACE- I started writing because
I was really bored
"I'm just trying" It was kind of fun so I just kept with
it. "Try~ing"
Words that came from ME and my heart. "I heard you are my sister's friend" I wrote 'I Don't Know My Name' just
in my room and now people are singing it all
over the world
"You asked me why I" "Cut my hair and changed myself completely" I try not to think about it too much cause
I don't want to get myself too freaked out. "I'm lost"
"Trying to get found" When I auditioned, I would
never think that I would make it to the finals
"I'm just trying" "Just try~ing" And it's just like... a dream.
"I now" "Know my" "Na~me" I could possibly win this
Like, I'm getting far "I don't play by the" "Rules of the game"
Tonight I'm going to be singing words that
Came from my heart
Hopefully they are enough. "Try~ing" To... win America's Got Talent.
*PAST GRACE* To find my way.
You see a girl... in the hallway. And then you whisper to your friend...
'Who is she anywa~y?' You've forgotten what she looks like... in like a day.
But your words don't hurt me. I will be ok.
Cause you~ don't~ hurt~ me~... I~ won't~ mold~
To... your silly words. I won't live inside your world.
Cause your punches, and your names, all your jokes and stupid games.
They don't work. Hmm- The~y don't hurt.
Watch them just go right through me. Because they mean nothing to me~.
Try to change my shape... but baby I'm not cla-a-ay.
Sorry not toda-a-ay
Cause baby... I'm not...
Try to change my shape! But baby I'm not cla-a-ay. Sorry not today!
Cause baby... I'm not...
Cla-a-ay~!!
Your silly words...
I won't live inside your world!
Cause your punches, and your names, all your jokes and stupid games...!
They don't work~!! No... they~ don't hurt!
Watch them just go right through me... because they mean
Nothing to me~
I'm not... cla-a-ay...
Nick: Wow!
Incredible!
Grace Vanderwaal!
Pickin' up the confetti!
Howie?
Howie: Amazing Grace... how sweet the sound...
It's not only a song... it speaks to you and you are amazing and I'm gonna take my couple of seconds
To say 'America... you gotta vote... Grace has to win...'
This is my favorite moment of tonight.
Nick: Mel B?
Melly: You know what? I really feel like you were in your ultimate
Ultimate element tonight... I didn't feel any nerves from you...
You're meant to be here... you're meant to be singing your heart out...
It's YOUR song, it's YOUR moment... well done Grace.
Nick: Heidi?
Heidi: You know? In a sea of jewels, I feel like you're just the
Rawest, most original diamond- or RAREST diamond of them all...
Because I feel like you just shine that little bit brighter than everyone else.
I feel like you're a true gift to music.
Nick: Simon Cowell?
Simon: Basically Grace... I always say this to the people I work with, 'Finding stars should be difficult.'
And people in a few years time are gonna look back at you and say,
'The reason this girl did so well and why she's gonna be someone we're all gonna look up to...'
'...and remember is that because she did it... in a real way.'
No gimmicks- it was just you, and you deserve your praise tonight.
And I don't know what's gonna happen... but...
You're gonna be there at the end... I can feel it
And you've been amazing Grace and a fantastic contestant.
Congratulations.
Nick: Truly a superstar performance. How does it feel?
Grace: I mean... just feels good to just get on the stage and get it over with and get it out of the way.
Nick: Ay- a true, honest answer.
