WOOO HOOO! Can you believe it! Greyson Chance. If you haven’t heard of him, ask your kids! At the risk of being LAME and using 90’s slang – he is awesome!
“Greyson Chance has already become an accomplished teen pop star, though he won’t celebrate his 14th birthday until next week. The singing sensation from Edmond, Okla., just released his debut album “Hold on ‘Til the Night” on August 2. This comes right on the heels of wrapping up his first official stint on the road during his “Waiting 4U” tour in May. Now, the boy with the golden voice, who many compare to teen idol Justin Bieber, is ready to achieve even more.
Chance is one of the latest YouTube stars to rise to fame practically overnight. After his rendition of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” went viral on YouTube last year, an invite from talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and a thumbs-up from Gaga herself set the young star’s pop career in motion. After their meet up, DeGeneres created her own record imprint eleveneleven on Geffen/Maverick/Streamline records to help catapult Chance to stardom. “I wanted to nurture his talent,” Degeneres told ABC News in a March interview. “I wanted to help it grow in the right way because I didn’t want him to be taken advantage of.”
Chance says he draws inspiration from older acts such as Cold Play, Journey, Queen and Tom Petty — all bands with repertoires going back some years before the young star was even born.” Taken from ABC Nightline by Tamy Cozier
If GC is inspired by “older” acts like Journey, Queen and Tom Petty, I think I can refer to him as awesome and not be LAME! My kids and I have listened to this CD every time we are in the car. They kids downloaded it to their iPods and “rock out” to Greyson while playing outside. I think we all have this CD memorized! I find myself humming it all day at work! Ab is great at knowing all the lyrics to any song she has heard once…..she walks around the house just singing songs from this CD! I just can’t believe how young he is…..totally amazing.
This CD is wonderful and features the following songs:
- Waiting Outside the Lines (my favorite)
- Unfriend You
- Home Is In Your Eyes (my other favorite)
- Hold On ?Til The Night (Patrick’s favorite)
- Heart Like Stone
- Little London Girl (Ab’s favorite)
