I get the nature of what you’re saying. I’ve almost made my own comments on this video multiple times. But the spirit of your comment is powerful and positive enough that I’ve never wanted it to hide under another comment and nobody has highlighted it yet. I’m not all about trying to force others to believe the way I believe. I think the world is more beautiful with multiple views and cultures. Having said that... I’d like to share my view. Cooperation’s and places on the map... locations... don’t cause destruction to people. People that see opportunities to use their power and influence cause destruction to people. Walt Disney built Disneyland for the love of his dreams, family and children AND grandchildren. So it’s hard for me to hear so many seeing it be the capital that causes pain in families and children. He wanted to make an affordable place to find magic in the world. Where everyone, regardless of income, could come together in inspiration. He wanted them to fall in love with his imagination... not his image. If you’ve ever published your dreams into the world... even a comment you’ve made on KZread, you can easily see the way your work can be perverted and twisted into an intention you didn’t have. It’s sad that pedofiles opportunistically join where children are. Outside of schools you can see, easily, how many registered live as close to the radius they’re legally bound to. The same way people hungry for power and money congregate around affordable businesses that have promise. Opportunity to have access into such opportunities through work or connection to power isn’t much different. It makes sense that opportunities for artists are given by people who don’t have their best interest in mind. You guys are amazing for speaking up and saying you don’t want that anymore! I really don’t think shutting down Disney will create that kind of safety. But I think if we all buy from artists, and support companies that protect and provide protection for people we’ll take the power from those who don’t. That might be too extreme for some people in the world. But writing emails to companies about what you want to see and what you don’t want to see happening is an easy way to help the correction. People sell what we’re willing to buy. People gain power with the money and influence we give to them. If you tell companies what protections you want to see, they do listen when the public need gets bigger than the expense of the protection we want to see in place. Writing to Disney about wanting to see all people involved with children having background checks like our teachers get is a start. Or causing children to be in only group settings with an unbiased advocate for them? Sadly, we’re even seeing educators have inappropriate relationships with students too. So there will always be a “ball dropped,” so to speak. About Grace Vanderwaal... I hope her amazing family stays close enough to her to keep her grounded and protected. And I hope she’s blessed enough to grow up healthy and with out the hardships of depression or mental illness. Which often times is worsened severely by an unpredictable artist’s schedule and demands on performance. Living in the spotlight has to be one of the most difficult ways to keep yourself through scrutiny. Thanks for sharing and letting me.

I did just yesterday. Loved it too..

I could never forget this girl... The fact that she writes her own songs in like 20 minutes is almost unreal.. She has such an AWESOME personality!

Very refreshing to hear a young artist who takes her own course well off the beaten path. Some hope for the future.

Darkness is chasing me is a beautiful song I hope I can see you singing it live one day 😊

Me too! Front row!

I kind of feel like the entire music industry needs to form a protective barricade around this young woman. She is already better than a lot of world famous musicians and I cannot wait to see what she is going to do in the future

She' needs to be barricaded from people like Max Martin · Lukasz Gottwald who basically wrote a majority of the pop songs we hear on the radio today, and why it seems like all the music sounds the same, and is crap. Look them up on wiki for the songs they've written and the performers they've worked for. It will surprise you!

Don't see that happening. She has been asked, given the terrible choice, what she'd be giving up, writing or performing. She said performing. She has also very strong ideas about what things in life are worth pursuing, and chasing fame is not at the forefront.

Because the motivations of all humans are the same, right? Not so. Not by a wide margin.

This is the best version of Darkness Keeps Chasing Me. Sometimes simplicity brings out the best! Beautiful.

I was so excited to see Grace at the Tiny Desk! She’s come a long way since America’s Got Talent and she just keeps getting better.

Oh wow I remember Grace on Americas got talent when she was 12 and was the last time. Her voice is so iconic. Great work and amazing song writer 😀

When I heard her sing DKCM on the rooftop I thought it was her best performance of this song. Now I'm not so sure. Never stop amazing us Grace.

This girl made .e hold my breath when she sang on the tent show for her 1st time and the emotion she sings with my goodness her voice is amazing and so happy for her and her success

Here I am - a middle-aged man who has completely given up hope for popular music, on a whole. Then, out of nowhere, here comes this 12-year-old who CRUSHES a televised talent show. That got my attention. Just a couple of years later, she is still writing incredible songs that are somehow bare, raw, and simple while at the same time being completely genius-level. For the first time in a LONG time, I am excited about a popular music artist. And this star is just beginning to rise. Keep going, Grace, and don't let anybody mold you!

@@asosyalpicimamk All true, but judging others by their predecessors' missteps is both misguided and extremely foolish. So she signed to a Sony-owned label. So did Front 242 and they cranked out two incredible albums under their umbrella... in the same year. Don't judge a musician by their label-mates. You could miss out on some amazing music, that way.

Okay she’s the artist we need ❤️❤️❤️

Her genius is her imperfections, it's what drew us to her . Always allow it to be apart of her creative endeavours and she'll make her own huge imprint on American music.

Wow...can you imagine this young lady dropping by your office someday and doing this? The folks that were there got to witness something really special in person that only a handful of people will ever get to do. Color me jealous!

I am continually amazed by Grace: not just her mega-talent, but her courage, kindness, and humility. I have followed her career from the beginning on AGT, where the audience, the judges and those watching at home fell in love with her. It is a truly rare thing to behold: so much talent, beauty, and charisma wrapped up in such a lovable personality. And she keeps getting better. Wow.

Robert McKee Amazing grace

Wow! What an amazing artist. If she's this good at 14, she's going to own popular music before she's 21. And "Darkness Keeps Chasing Me" blew my socks off with the depth and emotional intensity of her music and performance. Heartwrenching.

Depends on who she is contracted with...as we just saw that Taylor Swift does not own any of her prior songs. Same thing happened to The Beatles. Paul McCartney, I think, bought some of them back?

Grace you will always be my favorite singer so original so unlike every one else Beautiful.

I never get tired of listening to Grace. And a huge admiration for the mesmerizing and talented Melissa Dougherty.

She expresses herself so beautifully through her music. Awesome stuff

My one issue with grace is that... I need more songs by her! The talent she possesses is amazing and she writes such good lyrics. I am much much much older than her, and sometimes her lyrics strike a chord with me.

Can you believe she wrote enough songs for an EP and decided to discard them?! Even if she doesn't record them I'd love to hear her try them out on one of her live broadcasts because artists are not always the best judge of their own works.

Grace has redefined popular music.

Darkness Keeps Chasing Me is absolutely the most amazing song I've ever heard!! Lyrically and Vocally!! Absolutely Amazing Grace!! Thank You
