Greyson Chance should just get used to the Justin Bieber comparisons right now. That's all I'm saying! While that's certainly not a bad thing, it will be important for him to maintain his own image and sense of individuality. This 13 year old singer/songwriter is definitely one to watch. His version of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" became an instant hit on YouTube with over 34 million hits and counting. That performance got the attention of Ellen DeGeneres, who eventually signed Chance to her newly formed record label, ElevenEleven (in association with Maverick/Geffen Records). His debut single, "Waiting Outside The Lines" was released at the end of October and features a music video directed by Sanaa Hamri. The video features the young Chance playing the piano and singing, very much like Vanessa Carlton in her "A Thousand Miles" video, minus the swarms of female fans.
Chance is currently working on his debut album, expected out sometime next year. While we're waiting, check out the video below for "Waiting Outside The Lines" and download the single on iTunes HERE. Also worth a look, Chances' stunning "Paparazzi" cover (HERE) that started the whole craze as well as his performance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (HERE). Justin Bieber, watch your back!
