Grace VanderWaal hams it up with Kurt Hugo Schneider while arriving at the Astronauts Wanted 2017 New Front Presentation in New York City earlier this week.
At the event, the singer also met Al Roker, but JJJ is really hoping for a Grace and Kurt collaboration in the future!
Grace, who won the most recent season of America’s Got Talent admitted on social media that she once wanted to audition for American Idol.
The show, which is trying to make a comeback on ABC, has an age specification, where all contestants have to be above 15 years old. Grace was only 12 when she won AGT.
We’re pretty sure that winning AGT the best though — we mean, record deal, EP, a treehouse AND, don’t forget about that RDMA win.
“Hope you enjoy it, all the money from this video and any downloads/streams of this will be donated to charity in Christina‘s name,” Kurt reminded fans in the notes section.

The 27-year-old producer and musician put together a beautiful medley of Christina‘s original songs in a new video.
“This video is in memory of the amazingly talented and loving Christina Grimmie. I’m honored to have known and worked with her,” Kurt wrote. “This video took a little longer because I wanted to make something special. I hope you enjoy this mashup of some of my favorite of her original songs as well as 2 covers that will always remind me of her.”
Be sure to watch the entire video, as Kurt shares a beautiful message about Christina, who was tragically shot and killed in Orlando last month.
The two musicians teamed up for a lovely new version of her new single, “Better Place”.
“I’m so excited and proud to share this special performance of #BetterPlace with my friend @KurtSchneider!” Rachel wrote on Instagram. “We had a blast singing at the @elreytheatre on my #WildfireTour.”
Kurt added, “Rachel and her whole band, Craig, Liz, and Chris, were awesome to work with. And I’ll let you guys be the judge, but I think she sounds even better live :) Was great to be a part of it!”
