Piano Man Billy Joel....move over

Post by _Jersey Girl »

There's a new boy coming up and he's taking your place on the bench.

Remember this name: Greyson Michael Chance

This boy is going places. He has such a masculine voice for a 12 year old.
Makes Justin Bieber sound like an infant on Helium.
but don't tell my Granddaughter I said so.

So far as I can tell, this boy's rich voice is untrained. I'm not sure about the piano, if he's had lessons. There is not much more about him on the internet, except postings of his recordings, but I'm more than certain that there will be.

Julliard offers both Billy Joel and Elton John scholarships.

Wouldn't that be something, eh?

I'll look at that but I'm telling you, if he's playing a pipe organ, you're getting it.

Wall Street Trinity Episcopal Church in New York City is the location.

Assuming you have sound connected to a full range speaker system with at least a 15” sub-woofer,
you will be able to hear this in full frequency.

Here is Cameron Carpenter at the same instrument playing Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude (about 28 seconds into the YouTube video).

Loved Cameron Carpenter's approach to the Organ.
He really makes it a fun instrument again.

I could see his all white outfit with sequins
really catching on in The Temple!!!

Hey Jersey Girl,

British television news has caught up with your post regarding young Greyson.
This evening, Channel Five showed Greyson singing the Lady Gaga song and said that he had received 10million hits on You Tube.
No matter what Channel Five (UK) news reported, Jersey Girl posted the news here first.!
