Gotta Hear This: Greyson Chance's 'Unfriend You'

Gotta Hear This: Greyson Chance

July 08, 2011

Our favorite young singer Greyson Chance has given us visuals for his current single, "Unfriend You," an all-too-familiar tale of bouncing back after heartbreak.

Now, before I go further, I know what you're thinking. How can this 13-year-old singer, who got his big break thanks to his explosive voice and Ellen Degeneres, can experience heartbreak? Well, maybe not, but I gotta admit, the song title definitely keeps it in a social networking perspective. An ingenious way to not look as if he's beyond his reach in terms of subject matter and let's face it, how many times have you unfriended someone on Facebook?

The video itself is an amusing, yet refreshing look at how teenagers handle these kinds of life-altering events. Sure, it follows the formula of guy sees girl with another guy, guy gets over said girl by hitting up a house party and eventually meeting someone he can befriend. I can't think of a song that doesn't deviate from this description (kidding!), but one thing's for sure: Greyson has loads of talent and to see how he's handling success while staying true to form is truly remarkable in this age of instant stardom via YouTube.

Greyson is currently on his North American summer tour with Miranda Cosgrove and his debut album, Hold On 'Til The Night, is set to hit shelves August 2.
