Yesterday I gave you a head’s up about Greyson Michael Chance, a 12-year-old musical prodigy from Edmon, Oklahoma, who sang the hell out of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” in a YouTube video that is becoming a viral sensation.

Well, welcome to stage two of his career catapult. Today he appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Ellen, who loves discovering and encouraging new talent, was very excited about Chance’s appearance, saying, in advance, that she was more excited about him than any other performance.

As a part of Ellen’s ongoing series “Ellen’s Wonderful Web of Wonderment,” where she introduces new talent from the Interwebs, she was particularly interested in Chance, a talented and precocious sixth grader.

Greyson seemed very excited, but appeared a bit nervous as he repeatedly tossed his head, keeping his side-swept Bieber locks in place. An extremely articulate young boy, he was more mature than his years. He described two songs that he had written, “Stars,” about a woman who dies of cancer, soon to be followed by her husband, and “Broken Hearts,” about just that. Apparently two girls have done him wrong.

Greyson seemed a bit too polished and goody-goody for my taste, and although he was on his first visit to L.A., he seemed slightly show-biz-y. That aside, the tween has massive talent. Watch out Justin Bieber, a kid who looks like you and sings better than you and is probably smarter than you are and is not a Canadian is out for your title.

Chance's videos have attracted millions of visitors, including one who called into the Ellen Show during the young boy's interview: Lady Gaga, herself. When Greyson previously explained why he liked her so much, he was insightful and on point. With her as an idol, it will be interesting to see what direction he takes as he gets older. Gaga was particularly gracious with him and spoke with him with absolutely no affectation.

And then off he was, to the piano, to sing “Paparazzi” live. Belting it out with such power, he gave the song a new life—as a song that can stand on its on, apart from the Gaga experience.

But let's not forget Little Tommy DeMott, who we introduced to you several weeks ago, who did his Gaga best singing "Bad Romance" into a banana, while his father ran around in the background in his underwear. Please, do yourself a favor if you haven't seen it, watch it here. 

IN OTHER WORDS: We told you a star would be born, and we were right.
