VIDEO - Greyson Chance Sings “100 Years” at Cheyenne Middle School Before The Fame! - #Tears

Greyson Chance singing "100 Years" at Cheyenne Middle School

Before Greyson Chance became famous for playing Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi and meeting Ellen DeGeneres, he was just a young middle school student at Cheyenne Middle School in Oklahoma.

And before he hit it big with his debut album “Hold On ‘Til The Night” he was doing cover songs at the Cheyenne talent show in front of his classmates – just for fun.

The following video is actually very sweet and makes you wonder what must have been going through young Greyson’s mind at the time… Will I be famous? Will people like my style? Do I care?

The video shows Greyson performing “100 Years” by Five for Fighting at one of the schools talent shows when he was only 12-years-old.

So sit back and relax and watch young Greyson before the lights, fame, stylists, managers, tutors, interviews, world travel, and celebrity status – a time when Greyson was still… just Greyson.


Not bad eh?

The songs theme is about someone growing older but always remembering what it was like to be fifteen years old again….

“I'm fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are”

You can hear Greyson’s early vocal styles that have carried over to this day – and it makes you wonder… did anybody in that room ever suspect what would become of that young man?

And sometimes, the simple sounds of youth – without a record label, recording contract, bright lights, a million fans, world tours, and television cameras… is the sweetest sounding music of all.

We’re just saying…
