Greyson in Jakarta 2012
What an awesome video! It's so nice to actually get to see a full blown high definition video of one of his best songs!
We also get to see a shots during Greyson's sound check and a little more of his team behind the scenes before the show as Greyson stands on Hayden's back while he does pushups...
And finally we see the silly string king himself in action after the concert spraying his band mates!

Singer songwriter Greyson Chance has always embraced the internet and social media - even admitting he’s the worst speller ever on twitter!
In addition to his own official website, Greyson has also brought his social influence to internet properties such as YouTube, Everloop, Cambio, DimensionU, Spotify, and Woozworld.
And in one of his biggest social media moves to date he has expanded his artistic universe with his own new show on the YouTube startup venture Awesomeness TV.
The Awesomeness TV concept was created by veteran Hollywood TV entrepreneur Brian Robbins who is trying to usher in the age of internet video as a content destination as an alternative to traditional television.
Greyson Chance starts his 2012 Asian tour in April!
Looks like Greyson Chance is hard at work preparing for his 2012 Asian tour!
The singer has spent the last few months building his new stage and rehearsing his routines in Los Angeles along with writing new music for his expected upcoming album.
Greyson in Indonesia
Now his team has just released NEW concert dates and added THREE more countries to his tour.
Greyson will now make stops in Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea and Taiwan.
As we reported yesterday, Greyson has already announced that tween singing sensation Camryn will join him for each show while on the road.
So this brings the total number of countries Greyson will visit to seven.
While the dates and venues have been confirmed for the first half of the tour, the venue locations for Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan are still being finalized.
Apr 24-28 2012 - Taiwan – Location to be announced
Apr 29-May 1 2012 - Hong Kong – Location to be announced
May 2-6 2012 - Thailand - Location to be announced
Camryn has already released a promotional video on YouTube and we suspect Greyson has already taped some of his video stuffers for each country and will release them as the tour is underway.
Remember last year when he took a picture of himself with each country’s flag and did a small welcome video for each country?
We can’t wait to post the videos, interviews, and behind the scenes stories of Greyson’s 2012 return to Asia so make sure you are following us on twitter and Facebook to stay up to date with all the action!

Teen singer Camryn will tour with Greyson through Asia
Greyson Chance has just announced that teen pop phenomenon “Camryn” will act as his tour mate starting in April when he returns to Asia to launch his full scale concert tour.
Greyson will return to Asia to perform headliner concerts at several venues including:
At an age when most girls are shopping, inviting kids over for sleepovers, going dancing with their friends, playing sports and experiencing their first crushes on boys, singer Camryn is…well… already singing about it!
Camryn’s Asian tour promotional video
This isn’t the first time Camryn and Greyson Chance have teamed up for a concert tour. Last year, Camryn was on every stop of Greyson’s “Waiting 4 You” concert tour which also featured Cody Simpson.
Greyson and Camryn
This will be Camryn’s first trip to Asia but we’re sure Greyson will turn her on to the wonders of fried bananas and warn her about the nasty smelling durian fruit.
And Greyson, please warn Camryn about that John Martin guy… Selamat Mama? Remember?
Twelve-year-old Camryn is currently on tour in the United States hitting up middle schools across the country and has already performed for over 50,000 school kids so far this year.
Camryn thinks she has found the way to a successful career by being real and communicating “real world stuff” that kids are going through these days and says,
“I’m really excited to perform in Asia, because so many of my Facebook fans live in the same countries I’ll be visiting. It will also be great to tour with Greyson Chance again. He is unbelievably talented, kind, and fun to be around. He told me I *must* try durian and that I would love it…. But I think he’s a prankster!”
Camryn already has over 1 million followers on Facebook, and has her own official website with videos of her new single and information about her upcoming debut album.
For his part, Greyson is currently in the studio in Los Angeles writing new music, rehearsing for his tour, and working on his stage show that will be unleashed in Asia.
We think Greyson and Camryn make a good touring duo and can’t wait to start posting the stories from the road, videos of the shows, and funny backstage pictures from his 2012 Asian tour!
Hurry Greyson - para penggemar tidak bisa menunggu!
But this is not a free promo tour or a show where you buy his “Hold on ‘til the Night” CD and get in for free. Ticket prices for most venues are expensive!
No word yet on all the warm-up bands that will play with Greyson but we will keep you updated so make sure you follow us on twitter!
After Greyson returns to the United States he will be kicking off his 2012 North American tour in the United States!
You can bounce around our site and find all kinds of photos, interviews, performance videos, and TV appearances of Greyson from when he was in Asia last November.
Get the durian and fried bananas ready!
2012 is going to be a very good year for Greyson Chance!
You know you have a dedicated fan base when they group together to trend worldwide topics on twitter for you.
And we all know how easy it is for Justin Bieber’s 15 million fans to start a trend – but a worldwide trending topic for Greyson Chance?
Yes!
For the last two days Greyson’s Indonesian fans have taken to twitter to show just how dedicated they are – and just how much they miss the young singer and want him back!
The first day of trending was a day of humor - trending such topics as “Greyson Loves Pisang Goreng” (fried bananas), and by replacing the words of a Greyson song with “upil” – the Indonesian word for booger.
But by Thursday, the National Pride took over and Indonesian Enchancers were successful in their efforts to trend “Greyson Wants Monas” – a reference to Indonesia’s National Monument in Merdeka Square.
The Indonesian National Monument in Jakarta
The National Monument is a 433 foot tall (132 meters) tower in the center of Merdeka Square in Central Jakarta and symbolizes the fight for Indonesia's independence.
We got to say… it is one thing to have a few Beliebers trend a topic… but it’s another thing altogether when an entire country throws their weight behind you.
Way to go Indonesia! And way to go Greyson for melting the hearts of your fans around the world!
Now… get back to Jakarta for a show in Merdeka Square!

Before Greyson Chance returned home from his Asian tour last month he spent some time in Jakarta with his friends at KaWanku Magazine for a cover shoot and interview.
Greyson Chance Final Magazine Cover Photo
During one of the interviews, Greyson was given gifts by the KaWanku staff that included a “Blangkon” – a traditional Javanese headdress hat worn by men and made of batik fabric, and several vinyl records since he collects old vinyl LPs.
Greyson also answered questions and fell in love with their iPad in the process! He also hijacked the magazines twitter account and sent out a few tweets of his own!
Greyson then discovered the “Piano” app on the iPad and showed off his talents by playing a little “Waiting Outside the Lines” electronic style.
The Magazine issue was released December 14th 2011 and includes a 12 page special Greyson photo section, extended interview, and questions and answers - but it’s not available in the United States.
We had seen most of these videos before but didn’t realize that they were all connected and that Greyson had done a full blown cover shoot and interview for their December print addition.
We do however, like the headline in the upper right corner of the magazine cover. It seems that some will not rest until they dominate the World one country at a time. :D
And since our twitter feed and blog have become popular in Indonesia I have dedicated myself to learning the Indonesian language.
I learned a few new words this week:
“Aku ingin duduk di pantai dan makan pisang goreng dengan Greyson sambil melihat semua pohon indah hijau dan tanaman cantik.”
Well? How did I do? Is it an epic fail?
I have another lesson next week!

Greyson Chance and John Martin on The Hitz Trans TV Show
Greyson Chance may be back in Los Angeles now, but before leaving Jakarta last week he appeared with John Martin on "The Hitz Trans TV" show for probably one of the funniest television interviews we have ever seen.
Now, if you don’t know John Martin, or have never seen the show, you are in for a surprise. I’m not sure we even have a show in the United States that compares to this kind of comedy interview style.
Greyson In Jakarta on The Hitz
Greyson and John traded barbs about each other’s style and dress, and Greyson slammed John about his shoes, tie, socks, and hair.
Of course there were the inevitable comparisons to Justin Bieber – but in a funny way.
Greyson blushed during the questioning about having a girlfriend, and you could tell Greyson was nervous because he didn’t know what was being said a lot of the time.
The interview moved so fast we had to watch it more than once to fully understand what exactly was going on. In the end, it looked like Greyson had a blast and enjoyed himself on the show. The kid is a natural!
It’s kind of neat seeing Greyson doing comedy in front of a live audience. The show was a hit in Jakarta and even became a trending topic when Greyson wished John a good evening by saying “Selamat Mama” instead of “Selamat Malam”.
Greyson then performed “Unfriend You” and had another short interview and met a crying fan on stage – it was the cutest thing we have ever seen.
Greyson begged her not to cry because it would make him cry and then everybody would start crying.
We need a show like this in the United States. Indonesia goes hard!
Greyson Chance took some time between his Asian performances and travel schedule to visit with Yahoo for a question and answer press conference while in Jakarta.
He talked about his hometown of Edmond and how much fun it was having his sister Alexa on tour with him for half of his trip.
Had your first kiss yet?
The question of the hour was if Greyson had received his first kiss yet and how it felt.
Greyson admitted that he has already given and received his first kiss and that it felt pretty good.
He also talked about what he likes in a girl and it was pretty clear it didn’t relay matter what color eyes or hair she had! He said she could even be a vampire!
We must say, Greyson is a nervous twit and just cannot sit still during an interview. Guess being a rock star can put a lot of pressure on a guy…
For now Greyson has returned to the United States and will be taking a well-deserved break and visiting with his family and friends – and eating at the Outback Steak House and pigging out on Mexican food.
Greyson Chane during Creative Disc Interview in Jakarta
So while all of us back in the United States were enjoying our Thanksgiving dinner last night, Greyson Chance was sitting at a roundtable interview at the Hotel Intercontinental in Jakarta Indonesia giving a press conference to the Creative Disk Music Weblog.
We haven’t found a video of it yet but we do have the audio and it’s worth a listen.
Greyson talked about his now infamous “Bullet Necklace” and said his original one broke and is in the shop so he is wearing a copy until it is fixed.
Greyson at the Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta
He mentioned that he DOES plan to return to Southeast Asia next year and is planning a much larger show than this year.
Greyson says his current iPod playlist includes songs by Adele and Coldplay and suggested that the song “Home Is In Your Eyes” was written about a girl he once knew.
The best question was “What was the craziest thing that happened while on tour in Asia?” and he told the story about being bitten by a fan on the way to the bathroom in the Philippines.
He also talks about the food he has tried including the fried bananas and all the different spices and how he can’t wait to get home so he can go to Subway and Outback Steak House!
It is an interesting interview and is almost twelve minutes long so it’s one of the longest interviews he gave while on tour.
You can also snoop around our blog and find all the other videos, press conferences, and interviews he gave while in Manila, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, KK, Jakarta, and elsewhere in Asia.
As we are writing this post, Greyson is still on a plane somewhere over the Pacific Ocean on his 17 hour flight back to Los Angeles.

Once he gets rested he will return to the studio to continue rehearsing for his upcoming 2012 tour, and writing new music that will be available next year.
And don’t forget he will be making his second appearance on “Raising Hope” in the coming months - and we were able to score a few top secret photos of Greyson on the set while filming the yet unseen episodes.
He can also be heard in December when he lends his voice to one of the animated characters on the “American Dad” Christmas special.
Greyson Chance on stage in Jakarta Indonesia Hard Rock Cafe
Greyson Chance finished up his long awaited Asian tour last night at the Hard Rock Café in Jakarta Indonesia to a packed house and sold out crowd.
The group of fans consisted mostly of excited teenage girls who had waited patiently for the singer to arrive in their country for his long awaited tour.
Snoop around our blog and you will find videos of all his Asian shows as well as a few funny interviews with local radio and television hosts and his first experience trying the durian fruit.
Let’s give a big shout out to unyuMONSTER for uploading the videos – go subscribe to their YouTube Channel!
We will post more videos as we find them!
This trip was planned as a promotional tour for Greyson’s new album “Hold On ‘Til The Night”, and now he will return to the United States to continue work on his upcoming 2012 tour.
Below are some of the video and photo links of his fantastic Asian tour, promotional work, performances, and funny interviews. Enjoy!
After returning to the United Sates, Greyson will also make another appearance on the hit FOX television show “Raising Hope” as well as the “American Dad” Christmas special in December.
He has also hinted at a few “special” Holiday appearances and possibly a Christmas single. He was heard playing “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree” in Manila Philippines and it was the first time ever he played a holiday song live on stage during a concert.
Greyson Chance Performing at Chij OLGC School in Singapore
Some very lucky girls at Chij OLGC School in Singapore got the opportunity of a lifetime earlier this week when it was announced that their all-girls school had won a contest that included a visit from Greyson Chance!
Greyson sang two of his hit songs, “Waiting Outside the Lines” and “Unfriend You”, then visited with the students, took photos, and signed autographs.
At least his encounter with “Boy Thunder” from 91.3 Radio went better than the one the day before when Greyson was asked some very awkward and bizarre questions by the radio host during an interview.
One of Greyson’s BEST interviews so far during his entire Asian tour was in Singapore with “Spin or Bin Music”.
Greyson with Spin or Bin Music
It was one of the longest interviews we have ever see him do and he was actually asked questions that we have NEVER heard him answer before. You have to watch it!
But beware, Greyson is one fidgety young man and could barely sit still during the interview and played with his shirt and bullet necklace the entire time.
This is the interview where Greyson talks about his trip to the Fish Spa, and about the man in Malaysia walking in on him in the bathroom and freaking him out.
That is one nervous kid – but it’s why we love him!
Tonight Greyson travels to Manila Philippines for a few days of performances, press interviews, and meet and greets before heading to Jakarta Indonesia.
Stay tuned to Greyson Chance Universe as we continue to bring you all the news, videos, and photos of Greyson’s Asian tour.
And follow us on twitter because some people seem to think it’s an awesome feed and we tweet some amazing tweets and pictures!
Greyson Chance spent some time with Boy Thunder 91.3 FM in Singapore yesterday for one of the most bizarre interviews we’ve ever seen.
Greyson was once again was wearing his black bomber jacket but with a Bob Dylan t-shirt on underneath.
Greyson was asked about having a girlfriend, and what songs off his album he can relate to.
Greyson in Singapore
Really? Greyson wrote half the songs on his album so you would assume he can relate to ALL of them but he had to explain that to his interviewer.
But then in a somewhat bizarre twist, the DJ started asking Greyson about women and if he would date a much older women.
Greyson was visibly embarrassed and started squirming around in his chair. But it got worse….
Next he was shown pictures of older women that worked at the radio station and asked if he would date them, and the last picture was a picture of the MALE host who said “I also wanted to be in there.”
Awkward.
One of the older women was already a mother of two children!
Greyson is a true professional and played off the awkward interview with class and style. That’s why he has a new album and is on tour – and we’re not.
Anyway, after Greyson finishes his appearances in Singapore he will perform at 1Borneo Hypermall-Gourmet Lane in Kota Kinabalu Malaysia before heading out this weekend to Manila Philippines for a few days.
Greyson will then travel to Jakarta Indonesia for his first Indonesian concert on November 23rd.
