Greyson Chance Turns to Fans for Song Suggestions

Greyson Chance has been performing covers of songs since he was a young boy living in Edmond, Oklahoma.  He is turning to his fans though for suggestions on what songs he should cover next, during his Asia tour next month.

Greyson’s most notable cover to date, launching his music career, remains his famous rendition of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” which he performed at Edmond’s sixth grade music festival.  Since posting that video on YouTube nearly two-years ago Greyson has covered a number of songs during his live concerts including Augustana’s “Fire”, Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind” and Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory”, just to name a few.

Today Greyson told his fans on Twitter (all 1,742,000 + of them) that he is working on his set list for the Asia tour and would like suggestions as to what songs he should cover during it.  You can help Greyson out by tweeting him suggestions, @GreysonChance.

(Example: “@GreysonChanceMe said you were looking for suggestions. @GreysonChance you should cover “That’s Life” by Frank Sinatra!”)

So what do you think Greyson should cover during his upcoming Asia tour?  Even if you live in another region, there is no doubt that these covers will be posted right here on Greyson’s fan site during the tour thanks to all his fans in Asia, so tweet away!

 

Greyson Chance Receives Support from Jaden Smith, Nas and Perez Hilton

Greyson Chance released his debut album Hold On ‘Til The Night yesterday and since then has received support from some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Cody Simpson, his little sister Alli Simpson and Ariana Grande were among the first to take to Twitter and tweet their support for Greyson and the album.

Superstars like Jaden Smith (Karate Kid), rapper Nas and Hollywood mega blogger Perez Hilton have all shown their support by tweeting millions of followers links to the new album or Unfriend You music video.

Justin Bieber shot out a tweet earlier this week telling us that he thinks Greyson sounds “great”.

Greyson has been receiving tremendous support and we would like to thank all of the stars that took the time to show their support for our main man!

Justin Bieber: Greyson Chance Sounds Great

Justin Bieber vs. Greyson Chance rivalry?  NOT!

Since Greyson Chance was discovered by Ellen DeGeneres last year, the comparisons between he and fellow YouTube-created singing sensation Justin Bieber have been numerous.

Enchancers and Beliebers have battled it out and media outlets have had a field day making comparisons of the two teens.

If there was any question that Justin was anything but impressed with and supportive of Greyson, that doubt was laid to rest last night.

Justin tweeted from his official Twitter account (@JustinBieber) – “http://t.co/1fzO4j4 keep it up bro.. voice sounds great bro keep it up.”

Yup! That’s a link to Greyson’s Unfriend You music video which as of this writing (3 hours after Justin’s tweet) has 3,837,500 views — nearly 4 million views!

We just wanted to take a moment and thank Justin for supporting Greyson and for the thoughtful comment about his music.  For those that don’t know, Justin has over 11 million followers on Twitter, the second highest.  Who is the first? Lady Gaga, Greyson’s idol!

What do you think of Justin tweeting about Greyson and the Unfriend You music video?

Greyson Chance Advocates for Anti-Bullying

Did you know that nearly 1 in 3 students are involved in bullying? Did you know that while school violence as a whole is declining, bullying behaviors have increased by 5%? Did you know that kids who are obese, gay or have disabilities are up to 63% more likely to be bullied than other children? Did you know that last month alone, there were multiple suicide deaths as a result of bullying? These startling facts are the reason that Ellen DeGeneres and Greyson Chance have taken a stand against bullying and are speaking out against it.

Bullying is an epidemic that affects kids from grade school all the way through college. Eighteen-year-old Tyler Clementi committed suicide last week after two other university freshmen illegally recorded him in a sexual encounter with another man and broadcast-ed it over the internet. Tyler’s case is a prime example of Cyberbullying, the 21st century, high-tech way used to torment others.

So what is Cyberbullying? According to Wikipedia, “Cyberbullying involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group that is intended to harm others.”  Whether it is the continued harassment of someone on a social networking site such as Facebook or MySpace or an act of causing emotional harm to someone such as in Tyler Clementi’s case, Cyberbullying and bullying at any age is NOT okay.

This week TV Talk show host and founder of ElevenEleven records, Ellen DeGeneres spoke out against teenage bullying. Ellen publicly broadcast-ed a message which was shown on television and her website. Ellen urged us to take a stand against bullying and wants anyone who feels there alone to know that there is help out there.

Greyson Chance followed in the footsteps of his friend Ellen yesterday when he posted a message to his Twitter account (@GreysonChance) asking teens to stop the bullying, stand up for what’s right and make a difference.

Greyson Chance: This breaks my heart. We must stop bullying in our lives… Teens, I know. Gossip is a thing that is almost a necessity in Middle School. But we have to stop. Human lives are being taken away because of this bullying. Think about what you say before you say it. We know that it never feels good when we get talked about…so why do we do it to other people? This is something that we have to stop for the safety of the kids around the world. This is a cry for help…please stop bullying.

Greyson Chance is much more than just about the music. Greyson is on a mission to make a real difference in the world and is using his new-found stardom to accomplish this. If you haven’t checked out Greyson Chance’s performance at We Day 2010, be sure to do so. This event celebrated the power of young people as they create positive change in the world. This is just another prime example of Greyson’s determination to make a difference and use his fame for good!

Way to go Greyson! You rock and rock on!
