I first saw this via Facebook on Wednesday when his YouTube post was still at about the 2 million mark. By the next morning he had well over 8 million YouTube hits and he appeared on the Ellen Show (his first time on a plane!). This morning, Greyson's YouTube clip has over 11 million hits and he has a quickly growing fan base on Facebook - a superstar in less than 48 hours! The most amazing part is that he has also written 2 original songs that show even more talent - one is called Broken Hearts and the other is called Stars, about a young wife dying from cancer, the lyrics are amazing from someone so young. The mother in me is just in love with this adorable, humble, and of course, incredibly talented kid ... but at just 12 years old, I so hope that he has good solid parents, a tight extended family, and a strong community back home in Oklahoma to help him navigate his instant fame, I can't even imagine!

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Not a very happy upbeat post! sorry!
I bet American Idol is dying to get their hands on him. I'm cracking up at the girls in the background. They all look dazed.
I can't even imagine being that talented at such a young age. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
