If American Idol were ever to accept singers as young as 13 years old, Greyson Michael Chance would have an excellent chance of winning.

Thanks to this his amazing rendition of “Paparazzi” at a school festival, the sixth grader has already earned himself a number of female admirers. (He has also won over an additional 7,400+ Facebook fans.)
