Greyson Chance - Waiting Outside The Lines
13-year-old Greyson Chance is often compared to Justin Bieber, and at first glance of the youngster, who came to the world’s attention through a YouTube video of him covering Lady Gaga‘s “Paparazzi” at his school’s talent show earlier this year, it’s easy to see why. They’re both young, fresh-faced singers who share similar perfectly windswept hairdos.
But that’s pretty much where the similarities end.
With the release of his first single, “Waiting Outside The Lines,” which he premiered in a performance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Chance draws a thick line between his style versus Bieber’s.
Chance would be better off being compared to an artist like David Archuleta. Like Archie, Chance is clearly gearing his music toward having a universal, ageless appeal, while Bieber is 100% swimming in the teen ocean.
“Waiting Outside The Lines,” written by Chance, feels like a track The Script or even OneRepublic could deliver, though Chance clearly learned to build up vocal drama by listening to his idol, Gaga.
Check out Greyson’s Ellen Show performance below to hear “Waiting Outside The Lines”:
Wow, he grew up so much from Paparazzi!!~
WOW, amazing talent.. so much better than Justin bieber!!~
I don’t know what to say other than WOW.
AMAZING VOICE!! KEEP SINGING GREYSON!!~
Greyson’s obviosly more talented than that manufactured popstar beiber.
They are both talented singers with different styles. Personally, I’m a Justin Bieber fan but I can appreciate Greyson just the same. I try to post positive comments. When I see hateful comments about Justin Bieber, I figure whoever is posting is either 8 years old or some adult that never grew up.
Wishing both of them much success!
