Like many I first heard about Grace Vanderwaal through Facebook. It was a video of her first appearance on “America’s Got Talent” that got a lot of attention.
A while later there was another video of her on “America’s Got Talent” and showing it to my kids we were interested in what might happen, so we did something we never had before – watched “America’s Got Talent” (and more than once).
We were happy for Grace as she won that season’s competition and wondered might happen next for her. Then I heard she had her first CD out. Perfectly Imperfect is an E.P. containing five songs, all originals written or co-written by Grace.
Don’t think if you saw her performances on “America’s Got Talent” that you have heard these songs. Well, you have, but they are slightly different. There are some different arrangements, a few extra lines, added production, etc.
Each of the songs presented are originals. Four of them she performed on “America’s Got Talent” and a fifth is new to the CD (though I swear I heard it before). My favorite song here is probably “Light The Sky” because of the lyrics – “If they don’t like it they can close their eyes, because we’re not the same, and we don’t have to try.”
If you saw her competition performances and liked them at all I highly recommend picking up this CD. This is an artist at the beginning of her career, and a very promising one at that. I am incredibly interested in seeing what her career will be like in 20 or 30 years.
