Meet Greyson Michael Chance, the 12-year-old wunderkind who is suddenly being touted as (thankfully) the next Justin Bieber.
The sixth-grader at Cheyenne Middle School in Edmond, Oklahoma performed Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" at a district-wide talent show in April and the video of that performance is viral online.
Ellen DeGeneres was so excited when she saw it that she quickly booked the young lad on her show Thursday. Could Oprah be far behind?
Greyson's choir teacher says she's "never seen anyone with his level or type of talent."
Check out his "Paparazzi" performance - note the shock of the girls watching - and Greyson singing one of his own original songs, below.

Greyson97 amazed his classmates and stole the girl's hearts when he performed a rousing piano cover of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" at a recent school festival.
He also showed his intelligent demeanor on "The Ellen Degeneras Show" this afternoon May 13,2010 and won the hearts of fans around the globe. With his Mom in the audience one could clearly see the pride and joy in her eyes. He received a call from Lady Gaga wishing him well and telling him to "Sing his heart out", if a picture is worth a thousand words the expression and passion within the soul of this young artist speaks volumes.
