Lady Bieber?

Read on the Daily Mail Online (yeah it's a **** website btw) about this.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1277722/Greyson-Michael-Chance-Bieber-wannabe-covers-Gagas-Paparazzi.html

A junior schoolboy has become an internet sensation with a stunning rendition of Lady Gaga's hit Paparazzi.
Wannabe Greyson Michael Chance, who is thought to be 11 or 12, says he is 'very inspired' by Gaga.
And with his sweeping hairdo, we suspect he may be more than a little inspired by tween sensation Justin Bieber also.

With all these music "sensations" appearing nowadays I was wondering what boardsies thought of them.
The kid has got talent but what's gonna happen to their musical careers/ hopes when they acutally hit puberty?
Look at the likes of this kid, Justin Bieber and that little boy band from Britain's got talent.

They were right. The beatles are still the most successful act in history.

Ugh this pissed me off so much. The kids being praised for his "re-invention" of Paparazzi ehh cough cough...

Antamojo · 14-05-2010 10:36AM

Yeah I seen that version before.
Still takes a lot of balls (or lack of them?) for the kid to do it in front of his school.

This internet sensation is super underwhelming

In years gone by, the most sought after voice for a classical singer was known as castrato. Only the best young male singers were selected for this 'service' which continued until shockingly recently. I hear Louis Walsh is trying to revive it.

All that kid has to do now is get ****ing rid of that horrible Aussie accent, after that the world is his:)

The below clip is apparantly a cover of a very popular Russian pop song. Odd taste in music these Russians have!

The last few seconds of this bizzare clip has the kid singing in an almost supersonic voice....make sure the volume isn't too loud.

I think Bieber needs a few kicks down below before he can sing in this octave.

I don't know what a kid like that is going to do these days - there's no shortage of talent, but talent is not enough: you need to learn how to use it, how to look after yourself, how to work with other people. If you become too successful too quickly, you burn out - just ask Britney.

Let me tell you a story: way back in "the old days" of the 1970s, a 16-year-old schoolgirl wrote dozens of songs, recorded them to tape with her parents' help, and stuck them in the post to major record labels. They all turned her down, but a tape fell in to the hands of a well-regarded musician, who helped to record some better demos, and persuaded his label to sign the girl to a contract. They waited while she finished school, while at the same time paying for lessons in music and dance. Eventually, three years after she was signed, she released her first album, and the first single went straight to the top of the charts. She had a long career, all on the same label, and went on to produce some stunningly original music. The label's patience and investment was amply rewarded, eventually.

Do you think that would happen today, a label taking the "long view", developing an artist over time, rather than exploiting and then chucking them away? I can only imagine what would have happened had Simon Cowell took on Kate Bush today; as it actually happened, it was David Gilmour of Pink Floyd who got her signed to EMI in 1975. :cool:
