I've been singing my whole life and this kid is unbelievable. I think the blonde girl behind him is in love.

Fun game - randomly pause the video and look at the expressions on the faces in the background.

He's the kind of kid that will get fun poked at him, but he'll get more tail than any of the pokers in their entire lifetimes.

Fantastic.

I love seeing all these Lady Gaga covers by people with FAR more talent than her.

Agreed. His high school years could be the stuff of legend.

He seems to be very into this song for some reason. It's good. Nothing that wows me.

Just wait until his balls drop and he loses that ability to hit that high note. Ride this 15 minutes of fame while you can little dude.

I love the fact that in the middle of a sea of teen girls that are slowly falling in love, there is a single boy who looks to be thinking "You son of a bitch!" throughout the performance.

I fucking hate Lady Gaga, but she is definitely talented. This kid ultimately isn't doing anything new with the song.

Just too bad she wastes her talent on a fake persona, goofy costumes, and pandering bullshit pop music. I will give this kid credit though. He does a solid job on the song.

Edit: I just remembered this video. It's Stephanie Germanotta in her pre-Lady Gaga days.

She reminds me of Glenn Danzig, who chose to mask his awesome voice midway through his solo career under effects and noise. Now he's in his 50s, his voice is getting rough and he's trying to return to what worked; too little, too late.

When her fame is over and she tries to go show people she's really talented, I have a feeling many will scoff.

It's what keeps food on her table. Most audiences today don't care about genuine talent. They want spectacle. That's why the people they go see are called performers rather than musicians or singers.

I hate Lady GaGa with a passion but I admit that under that sea of bullshit there's a real musician. I just hope someday we get to hear her without all the accompanying noise.

Re: Middle-schooler performs the hell out of Gaga's "Paparazzi"

Why so much hate for GaGa? Granted she is quite different, some feel what she is doing is contrived, but she does seem to be talented nonetheless. With so many lip-singers, auto tune singers/rappers, and non talented artists on top its good to see at least someone with musical talented top the charts for once. Even if you disregard that, to have so much hate for someone takes more energy than should be exerted for a musical artists. Im not a big fan myself but some of her songs are catchy.

Everything Ive said may be hypocritical though as a have a long hate list for many players and teams in the sports realm. I guess we all use that word "hate" too loosely.

He does kinda sound like Shakira. No need to see him copy the belly dancing though.

I saw this video last night on youtube and it was at around 4 million views. I just checked and it's at 8.2 million views.

Talented kid. I can't wait until Usher signs him, he becomes popular among twelve-year-olds, winds up as the musical guest on SNL, and everyone starts posting about how much he sucks.

There are hundreds of far more talented female artists out there that don't whore themselves out to the pop world wearing idiotic costumes to court mainstream success. You just won't hear them on pop crap radio.

I honestly wouldn't recognize Lady Gaga or any of her music if they were right in front of me, but damn that's a great song. That kid should have a great time in junior/high schools.

I'm getting only 330k views on the posted video (it was 40k when this thread was made)
