APRIL 28 - Does this day sound familiar to you, at all? Well, it's familiar to me because it was the day a certain Oklahoma cutie was discovered... Who am I talking about? Greyson Chance.
Greyson was discovered by that viral Paparazzi cover that you all may know about & that video was posted almost one year ago.
Well, we [Greyson's fans] wanted to do something special to commemorate the event. It's not very big but it will take over the world. The Twitter world, at least.
I were thinking of trending a hashtag related to Greyson. Either #GreysonDay, #Greyson1YearAnniversary, #GreysonPaparazzi1Year or just Greyson Chance.
Now, I'm asking you - my followers & other Greyson fans - to help me. Whether you're a die-hard Greyson fan or just enjoy his music, you should at least try.
Last time I checked you needed at least 1.9 million tweets with the hashtag for the hashtag to trend. I only have 500 followers, but I know a lot of people who I follow with more followers than me.
So I'm asking you, Enchancers, Simpsonizers, Beliebers, etc. to help me with this. It's the least we can do for Greyson - he's worked so hard for all of this.
I will try and make everything up to all of you who helped. I don't know how to yet, but I will find a way.
Please, would you [if you're still reading after this point] help me? I would be so thankful and so grateful if one of the hashtags I suggested trended. Even if it trends for one hour, one minute, one second... I just want to know that it popped up on that Worldwide TT chart.
We will start trending at midnight, April 28 [for all of you on the eastern time zone] or 9PM, April 27. [all of those on the western time zone] If you're willing to stay up that would be amazing, but it isn't required.
Thank you all so much for reading this.
Peace. Love. Greyson Michael Chance.
xx Isabella
PS: Would you guys mind spread the word? (; Thank you all so much.

Well, there are a bunch of hashtags... You can trend any of the three, or #Proud OfGreyson, #1YearOfPaparazzi [if you're going to trend this one you should mention Greyson], etc.
& I know! Time passes by so quickly! I can't believe it's already been a year.

2 days to go (depending on time zones, I guess). Would have been apt if Paparazzi had reached 40million views, but it seems unlikely now. There's still over 800,000 needed.

You are forgetting RE-POSTS of Greyson's original PAPARAZZI video. I did a You Tube search of "Greyson Chance Paparazzi and these are the totals for the first page alone. Check & you will see that these posts are of the original video.
Greyson97------39,191,213 McMillan355------3,017,742 Newartz----------2,002,061 TOTAL----------44,211,016
That's just on the first page. I saw another on the right side column with over 6,000,000 views but it is 4:15AM and I am too tired to keep verifying vids and adding numbers. But suffice to say that Greyson's Paparazzi vid has over 44 million views. I wouldn't be surprised if someone as O/C as me took the time to total the views of the Original Papparazzi Video from all the channels where it has been posted it would total over 50 million views. Greyson97's channel has a combined total upload views of 64,277,847 for all his posted vids. Most impressive. Happy Anniversary Greyson.

Certainly you can see more members of the audience! Anyway, hasn't time flown? Greyson's come a long way in a year - well done, kid!

Looks like the general consensus on Twitter now is that people are going to get #GreysonDay to trend. I could be wrong, but if you search "greyson" that seems to be what is popping up. The only way we can probably get something to trend is to be uniform with it. Somebody correct me if I am wrong. This is definitely not something I know a lot about. Also, set up a separate Twitter for the Forum. I can't follow all the Greyson fans on my personal b/c it would drive me nuts, but if you want a follow back, follow --> twitter.com/TGCForum (still working on the design )

There's a third video, largely unknown, made by Kelly Cheek, Greyson's music teacher. “He’s an amazing student to have,” Cheek, who’s been Chance’s choir teacher at Edmond, Okla.’s Cheyenne Middle School since January, tells the Music Mix. “He’s always playing the piano in class. The kids are always wanting him to sing for them. He’s the reason why I wanted to teach, because of kids like him.” The video is on her channel ... whereiswestley.

Wow, I never saw that video and judging by the views not many have! Its amazing how much I can watch the same video over and over from a different angle and fall in live with it all over again

Yeah, that was really cool, I hadn't seen it either. It really shows you how all the stars how to align for Greyson to have caught the break that he did b/c this video while an interesting view of the proceedings wouldn't have gotten him noticed had it been the only one posted.
Things in my estimation that had to come together: 1. Greyson being talented, having see Lady Gaga perform, want to be a musician, etc. 2. Greyson's mom convincing him to do "Paparazzi" rather than "Fire." I actually think he performs "Fire" better than "Paparazzi," but there is no denying that "Sixth Grade Boy Blows School Away with Lady Gaga Cover" is a much better headline than "Sixth Grade Boy Blows School Away with Cover of a Song by a Band Nobody Has Ever Heard Of." 3. His teacher allowing him to do it. There is an interview w/ ABC news I think where she said that she had her doubts about his song choice, but after hearing it decided to let him do it. 4. Him mom not being able to make the performance so his dad taped it. (Maybe they would have taped it anyway, but maybe not). 5. Greyson's dad actually getting a video w/ both decent sound and video. 6. The girls sitting in the back of Greyson like they were. Greyson's talent was what blew us all away, I know, but the reactions of the girls in the back were also a big selling point of the video and helped it gain traction and even more views. 7. Greyson deciding to upload the video on YouTube. 8. Some blogger seeing this video among the millions of videos and posting it on his blog which started the whole thing. 9. Ellen seeing it and bringing him on the show (Though at this point I think she just got to him first - I'm sure somebody else would have scooped him up if she hadn't.)
I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but that is pretty amazing to think about how a few simple decisions changed his life completely.
Edit:
Here is the video. Thanks, duckbiter for bringing it to our attention.
