YouTube Sensation Greyson Michael Chance Will Now Perform on Ellen

Greyson Michael Chance posted a video of himself (see video below) playing the piano and singing a rendition of Lady Gaga's Paparazzi and in just two weeks the video has become so popular that Greyson Michael has become on overnight sensation.

The video was filmed at his sixth grade Oklahoma middle school's Chorus Performance Night but it is doubtful that anyone thought he would become such an Internet celebrity.

The video has even caught the attention of Ellen DeGeneres and Greyson Michael will be performing on her show on May 13 and will get the chance to wow audiences even more.

Video of the tween singing and playing the piano has become a YouTube hit (read: over a million hits in the last two weeks)

Could Greyson Michael Chance be the next Justin Bieber? There were quite a number of girls in the background of the video so Chance could be well on his way with his female fan base.

Apparently Greyson Michael does not just sing other's songs, but he writes his own too. One is called Broken Hearts and another is Stars.

Chance said that he is really inspired by Lady Gaga and Augustana:

I am very inspired by Lady Gaga and Augustana. Lady Gaga is a freak but she has so much talent and her style of music is what I would like mine to be when im older. Augustana is one of the most underated bands I think ever to step the planet. They have so much talent it is not funny. They have such a good concept with folk and rock. It is very sad that they are so unknown."

We doubt this is the last time we will be hearing from this young man.
