Ellen DeGeneres Starts Her Own Record Label, Signs Boring YouTube Singer

Ellen DeGeneres announced on her talk show today that she is starting her own record label, eleveneleven. But obviously, rather than pick any of the no-talents from American Idol season 9 as her first recording artist, Ellen instead signed some kid named Greyson Chance. He's the boring kid whose YouTube video of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" has been making the rounds (see above). Honestly, are we going to give every kid who makes a YouTube video a recording contract now? Greyson is average at best (if you even give him that much), and he should wait a while to actually cultivate his talent rather than waste it on an ill conceived album now. But hey, what do we know? Ellen's the one with all of the Grammys and Billboard #1 hits. Oh wait...

He has piano skills, but honestly, I don't like his voice. He's not even OMG16!!11!!1! yet.

It seems like anytime a young singer gets more than 1 million hits on YouTube, the contracts seem to be lining up for them. drevil

He sounds like a 25 year old woman to me.

EDIT: and I think he's like 11 or so.

Give this kid 15 minutes, and he'll sound completely different. He needs to take a page out of Peter Brady's book. "When it's time to change..."

He's already got the hair, so why not a recording contract?

I think he has a very nice voice for his age. Several kids in my kids' classes have nice voices, too -- very mature for their age. How can they get recording contracts? Maybe there should be a TV talent show, and they could audition, and.....
