The new Paparazzi [the American Dream instigated by Fox Networks]
Here's the story: 12-year old Michael Greyson performs Lady Gaga's Paparazzi at his Sixth Grade School event - an impressive piano driven cover. Solo, in front of his classmates. Someone records it on mobile video, about one million people go look at it on YouTube, and the Fox Networks decides to give this video a spot on their 10pm news. The result: just three days later the online video has 13 million views (and counting), Michael is invited at talkshows, and lives the American Dream.
Jean-Marie Pfaff would call this from Zero to Hero, but this 12 year old guy is just really good. Plays the piano well, has an excellent and flexible voice, and pulls-off this cover in a great way. Go and check it out (click the picture above for the video)!
By now, Michael has his own Wikipedia page, received a call from Lady Gaga herself, ... and this is only the start. Stay tuned.
