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!

 

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?

Last week we told you that Greyson Chance Web had joined forces with Greyson Chance and Ellen DeGeneres to combat the growing problem of bullying.  Since this time we’ve launch The Chance to Stop Bullying Campaign and have received support from Greyson himself as we stand up to bullies across the world and say “enough is enough”.

First, we’d like to thank everyone who has taken a stand along-side us and vowed to end this growing problem once in for all.  The response on Twitter to our #TheChanceToStopBullying challenge has been tremendous and we really think people are starting to open there eyes to the reality of the situation.  One of our long time readers who goes by the cleverly coined name, GreysonShakesIt is one of many who have joined the fight against bullying.  Putting things into perspective a bit, she put together a short video highlighting some of the scary statistics surrounding bullying.

Checkout the video below GreysonShakesIt made for our #TheChanceToStopBullying campaign.  Some startling statistics highlighted in the video include that in the U.K. 15-25 people commit suicide each year due to bullying.  In the U.S. 1 in 3 students are involved in bullying.  We are also reminded that you are not alone if you are being bullied and there are plenty of organizations and people out there that want to help.

Thanks again to everyone who has joined us and are standing up to bullying.  Together we can, will and already have made a difference!  Remember to show your support for the cause by Tweeting the hash tag #TheChanceToStopBullying!  Don’t let up!
