Greyson Chance was recently featured on UrbLife.com in a story about parents who share videos of their kids online.
UrbLife.com, is a popular destination online that produces a digital magazine geared towards the Hip Hop generation. They feature interviews, editorials and reviews about celebrities, film, TV and more. Greyson is featured in a recent article by Tennille Patterson where the controversial topic is addressed of whether parents should share videos of their children online.
Tennille starts off by pointing out that it was only a few years ago when most of the world considered home videos to be just that, “home” videos; something that was shared at home with family. With the introduction of online video sharing a few years back and the launch of YouTube and similar services, this concept quickly changed. Today millions of videos are posted in cyberspace, including one very special clip uploaded by Greyson Chance a few months ago.
For Greyson, the risk was definitely worth the reward. Over 30 million views later, Greyson now has a record deal with ElevenEleven records and the Geffen/Interscope label. He’s become a household name across the world and is currently working on recording his debut album, set to be released later this year.
Greyson certainly is not the first kid star to be found online; we can guarantee he will not be the last but he’ll always be the best! You can checkout the other viral videos talked about in the article and read the story in its entirety over at UrbLife.com.
Greyson has told us before that it was his decision to post the video of his performance online, however his parents chose not to counter this choice (which we are super glad they didn’t!) So what is your opinion on this topic? Do you think it’s okay for parents to post videos of their kids online? Leave us a note in the comments section below and tell us your thoughts!
