unless you've been hiding in a bomb shelter or lost all internet access, you've probably heard of Greyson Chance by now. in case you aren't good with names, he's the 13-year-old singing phenom who covered Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi", and gained millions of hits in the process.
now, when i first heard his voice and saw his success i was stunned. i was so happy for the unknown kid, the kid with amazing talent that never had a 'chance' and suddenly gained international fame. yay, YouTube success stories!
but then i read an article that made me think this miracle was... too convenient. i know it sounds like i'm making an innocent occurence sound like a conspiracy, but just hear me out.
Greyson seems like the perfect storm. Justin Bieber-ish good looks, with a Lady GaGa powerful voice and style... sounds like the ideal pop star for today's market.
and the millions of hits and overnight explosion? this could be a ploy by his 'people' for publicity, to give him the broad appeal and likeability of an internet nobody...
so, crazy coincidence? or perfectly engineered pop perfection?
either way, i know for a fact we'll be seeing a lot of Greyson Chance.
