Don't let the Bieber-bangs fool you, this kid is the real deal. (photo: YouTube)

Get ready for GreyMi.

There he is sitting at the piano, in front of all his tween girl schoolmates at his Oklahoma Middle School's Talent night, and he begins a frenzied intro to Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi." Sixth grader Greyson Michael Chance then sings. And I mean sings. Bringing new life to the lightweight pop song, his multi-octave vocal would earn him the American Idol title if he were old enough and if smart people were actually voting.

Following in the footsteps of his doppleganger Justin Bieber (he sports the Bieber sideswept hair cut; actually, he captures the entire Bieber look, but better), but did I mention, this kid can sing! There's nothing child-like about his mature-beyond-his-years vocals. The Bieb's fans would be wise to switch their allegiance. For that matter, Gaga's fans would be smart to do the same.  

Chance is a prodigy. Watch some of his other videos on his YouTube page. The depth of emotion, lyrical content. music and musicianship is truly impressive. 

A fan page has already been devoted to Greyson on Facebook, and Ellen DeGeneres is planning on having him on her show on Thursday, May 13, so expect the million and a half hits he has right now on YouTube to zillion-tuple. Ellen has said that she has never been more excited to have anyone on her show. So be sure to watch, because this kid's life will change before you very eyes.

See, the Internet can provide some good talent every once in a while.

Watch for yourself:
