An Overnight Web Sensation: Greyson Chance

(from http://ellen.warnerbros.com/)


Just a week ago, 12-year-old Greyson Chance had been living a typical life in Edmond, Oklahoma. He enjoyed listening to his favorite band, Augustana, and playing the understudy in a local production of “Oliver.” Little did he know, he would soon become the newest web star!
After recording a unbelievable performance of Lady Gaga's “Paparazzi” at a talent show, he uploaded it to Facebook and YouTube -- and had no idea what would happen next. In just a few short days the video received over 2 million views and overnight he became an Internet sensation!
