Total agreement here. I was not a fan of hers from the start. There was a lot of other talent on that show, but America voted.... what can I say?

I stopped watching these type of shows because the very young people who are always on the media, seem to be the most dominate factor in selecting the winner, regardless of the talent of various performers.

Let just say I am not in agreement with their taste in music.

When my uncle used to say, Frank Sinatra was great. Our reaction was, "you've got to be kidding me, Elvis is the greatest".

Little did I know!!!! Nuff said.........

I couldn't agree more. My husband and I were extremely disappointed with the results of the show last night. We said exactly the same thing - how could she possibly headline three shows in Las Vegas. There was such wonderful talent on the show this year - we can't believe that this was the final outcome.

I don't deserve an opinion because I didn't vote. Who did y'all vote for?

She is very talented in her own style and won because the younger generation dominates the vote. If the winner is to get a Vegas Act then the age should be 18+.

Very disappointed with results of the show this year. Contemplating not watching in the future. Grace is a very sweet girl, but definitely NOT a million dollar winner, all I could think of was Tiny Tim. In my humble opinion, Brian Justin Crum should have been the winner. Perhaps Simon should invest in a show just for young adults, Americas Got Talent, Children, Tweens and Teens edition, this would eliminate the competition between adults and children. I hope the tickets are free in Vegas for her show, I don't see anyone paying to see her.

I bet she will enjoy the million bucks!

If you read the small print, very quickly, I might add, I think it says the million dollars is paid out over 40 years! Please correct me if I am wrong.

I only saw a few of these shows. The young girl singer was new to me.

The archery shooting contortionist was my favorite but she is also extremely young.

While I think Grace is an unusually talented and creative young lady, she only fills a very small niche in the music industry whereas there were some others in the top 10 who could fill any event facility on an ongoing and long-term basis.

Will a 12 year old be permitted to headline a show where alcohol is served? Sure, I liked her, but to headline a show, ridiculous. I hope the other finalists will be in the show. Really who in Vegas is going to pay to see a 12 year and a ukulele ? I think we can see Viktor Kee in La Nouba at Disney. The NFL player has his hands full playing football, the other finalist would all make wonderful opening acts in Vegas. We loved all the shows, but also were disappointed with outcome.

I loved Grace. She has a wonderful God given talent! I guess I'm in the minority, being glad that she won!

The show is what it is. Those who vote make the decision. I don't think any of the top 10 will go hungry. There was a lot of talent there and the cream always rises to the top.

Why did she win?? One word - YOUTUBE. She had one of her original song on YouTube being song by a variety of young people. She got millions of votes from that. Also, keep in mind that the difference between all 3 of the finalists was only 1%. I suggest that the magician and the other couple split the vote leaving Grace winning by a very close margin.
