A 12 year old kid known only*** by his YouTube name (“Greyson97″) is the “next new” viral internet sensation due to his cover of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi.”

I think this kid could possibly be the next Justin Bieber. In fact he seems to have quite a bit more raw talent as a vocalist, and he even writes his own songs!

I’m not likely to be buying his CD, but I’m sure there are plenty of teenage girls who will. Personally I’m on a Beethoven kick as of late. Ludwig Van is the man.

***His name may actually be Greyson Michael Chance but I’m not sure about that yet
