Filed under: Videos , Music Sixth-grader Greyson Michael Chance recently rocked his middle school with a performance of Lady Gaga ‘s ‘Paparazzi’ that might just be better than the original. The video has blown up on YouTube to the tune of more than a million hits and inspired some epic criticism on various websites. Over at Reddit , there’s a debate about whether the teen girls in the background were impressed by the Bieber-esque kid’s piano win. Most of them appear stone-faced and bored, although one girl does get excited near the end. Redditors suspect that the girls are a chorus section, which means they’re probably studying his every breath like the vicious young critics they’re trained to be. Or, hey, they could just be dumbstruck by his mad skills. Sasha Frere-Jones , the New Yorker ‘s respected music critic, points to Greyson’s video as evidence that the internet isn’t killing kids’ talent. Sixth-graders obviously have time to post YouTube vids and practice the heck out of a musical instrument. Also, Frere-Jones says Lady Gaga is an inspiration who’s basically giving Greyson’s generation a free course in the performance of pop music.
