She definitely will change the music industry, and absolutely is the best musician and probably soul to bless the world in a very long time. Almost anyone with proper training can learn to sing well and improve their range but no one can fake what she has and that is soul and wonderful spirit. My worry for her is will she let herself be corrupted by the evil creatures that control our entertainment industry. They have done it to so many greats. But she is :
A ray of light amidst array of darkness... a glimmer of hope in world of despair and destruction... a child with answers to questions that adults are perplexed by... soulful beauty screaming battle cry through an ugly situation... a paramedic for lost or discarded and broken souls... But hopefully with all her fans support she will grow to what I already know she will be a savior of some sort to her people. She might be able to do what everyone else failed to bring all of our children away from the evil ways of this sick ...more
Amazing Grace is the most talented artist to come along in 50 years. Her songs relate to everyone and her voice evokes emotions from her audience that just can't be taught! I've been listening to the same bubble gum pop for far too many years to count! Grace Vanderwaal is about to flip the tables on the whole darn game with substance, emotion, and resolve! She is by my standards a super star and one day a legend!
Grace has transformed music in a way that we have not seen in decades. Her new album will be something that should reach to the heights of the music industry. As she learns to control her rasp and use it in her new songs a Better life, florets and city songs she will become one of the best new raspy voice singers of all time, heck how about just one of the best new singers of all time.
For about 30 years I didn't really listen to music. I would turn my car radio to NPR. When my wife was with me she would turn the radio to music and of course I would hear it then. Early this year I stumbled across Grace Vanderwaal. Her songs captivated me. I bought both of her CDs which I keep in my car and play a lot. Because of her covers, I've become aware of other good musicians. But I prefer her covers.
William Bruce Rose Jr., better known as 'Axl Rose', is an American singer born on February 6, 1962, in Lafayette, Indiana. He Is the founder and lead singer of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses. He is a celebrated but controversial figure in the world of rock. Axl Rose is probably got the greatest male rock and roll voice I've ever heard. I know he's arrogant and egotistical but that doesn't take away from his ability to see and he's also got the gift right good songs. I've seen I am with AC/DC and he has a far greater range that Brian Johnson, not to take anything away from Brian Johnson, but Axl is Axl and Brian is Brian. I don't know who, unless it was the author, said that he was failing at the AC/DC gigs? Who would've done it better? Jiminy cricket! Since guns and roses and that era I don't even think there is any rock 'n' roll anymore. I turn onto rock station I hear the same music I heard 20 years ago. Anyway Axl's got my vote! Jiminy cricket! Since Guns N' Roses and that era I don't even think there is any rock 'n' roll anymore. I turn on a rock station I hear the same music I heard 20 years ago. Anyway Axl's got my vote.
