Do YOU think YouTube sensation Greyson is the going to be the next Justin Bieber?

Greyson Michael Chance is this year’s Internet sensation ‘It’ boy. Throughout the last month, the 12-year-old singer literally exploded on YouTube in a way that no one since teen-singing-sensation Justin Bieber has done since being discovered in 2008. But does this sixth grader from Oklahoma really have star power to rival the Biebster’s?

We’ll let you be the judge. Check out this video of a then-12-year-old Justin (now 16) singing on the steps of the Avon theater in his hometown of Ontario, Canada before he hit it big.

To make it easy, we’ve also included Greyson’s home video of his signature song, a cover of Lady Gaga‘s ‘Paparazzi.’ Based on these two clips, who do YOU think will be the bigger star?

Can we not have a fight here please. They are both good. If Greyson can’t sing, then why was he able to get on Ellen? If Justin has no talent, then how’d he get Sean Kingston and Usher to be featured in his songs? You don’t need to fight over who has greater talent. They both have great talent and you know it. If you hate Greyson or Justin, then let it be. No one’s stopping you. If I were you, I wouldn’t make such a big deal out of ONE poll question because Justin Bieber is Justin Bieber and Greyson Chance is Greyson Chance. They’re different people. You can’t change that. :)

Do these Bieber fans even know what talent means? Greyson has a genuinely powerful voice, unlike Bieber. He has a higher range of notes as well which makes it even more pleasing when he hits high notes. You don’t get nervous and uncomfortable like when Bieber attempts it. Greyson has true talent, all Bieber has is his charm and dancing skills. I personally prefer Greyson’s God given talent over Bieber’s looks.

    Exactly! They only love Bieber because of his looks. They’re lucky that he can sing but Greyson is better.

Some of you are ridiculous!!! These are kids and I believe they are both more mature than most of you. Why do you have to talk trash on either? The question is do you think Greyson is going to be the next Justin? A simple question that does not need you to slam a child. They are both amazing!!! Grow up and stop being so insecure in your opinions.

Gee, did all the Bieb heads rade this article? I think so! Greyson has more talent than Justin in voice and obviously he can play the piano like no other 12 yr old on the circuit. I think his hits on his YT vids tells the story. He will be big. I hope however he takes his time and gradually jumps in. He already has haters which is sad since no one, I mean NO ONE knows this kid at all! You guys are just scared to death of this kid and will never admit it! I don’t get the Justin hype at all and I don’t think he’s that good. Also take this into consideration. We saw Greyson live in an unprofessional environment! Wait till the kid hits the studio and then maybe judge who will be the topper!

Team Greyson!

I don’t think Greyson has a chance against Bieber. Not because he doesn’t have more talent than him, but because Justin Bieber is simply more marketable; his behavior and charm attract the current generation of tweens and teens more.

As for my opinion, I like Greyson better. He’s more talented, despite what some fangirls here claim. Greyson plays the piano, has a powerful voice, writes his own songs (with no help), and composes them on his own. All Justin has against him are his dancing and guitar skills, which are just that: skills (in this case, anyways). With proper training, Greyson could learn to dance like him, but then again, I don’t want him to be a corporate manufactured star like Bieber.

No offense but Greyson Chance, not good i’ not a bieber fan but, i have to admit i like Justin way better he has much more talent than the other kid, and in my total offense, calling Justin Bieber a slut is not cool. It’s rude and then we can all say you have no talent. I don’t like your words nor your actions. Choose something better than bully a major popstar.

    And there can also be only one Greyson Chance. ;) Lets just see what’s gonna happen. I, myself, believe Justin Bieber won’t be replaced because he has his own talent. And so does Greyson. This is just a poll. They just want to know your opinions. :)

This is so stupid. Greyson is 12 which means his voice will change in 1-2 years. That’s why such young boys usually don’t get signed. He may not sound so great by the time a cd is released.
