Lady Gaga Meets Greyson Chance
Tween YouTube star talks to his idol.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, and apparently the key to Lady Gaga's heart. Tween singer Greyson Chance, who was catapulted to fame—and a record deal—when a video of him singing Gaga's "Paparazzi" at a school talent show became a YouTube sensation, has finally met his idol in the flesh. "I met @LadyGaga! She was so kind, gave me some great advice and put on amazing show!!" he tweeted, posting a photo of himself posing with the pop star. Chance's video, which to date has received over 28 million hits on YouTube, put the spotlight on the 12 year-old, who then made the rounds on TV shows. During a stint on the Ellen DeGeneres show Gaga called in. "You're so sweet and so talented. I was so excited that you covered ‘Paparazzi,’" she said," Everyone loves you so much, so just keep following your dreams, work really hard and stay away from girls and be focused. You've already won over everyone's hearts, so just have fun."
