Greyson would probably need an adult voice with a “twang” to it to succeed there. I do think the song has an appeal to it though that goes beyond your typical pop song. The lyrics draw on images and feelings that I think one has to be a little older to fully appreciate. Greyson has mentioned that he would like to play guitar. What a perfect song this would be to perform with just a guitar at a radio station interview ala Cody Simpson. He would just have to learn how to strum a few simple chords. I think it would sound great -- just his voice and guitar. So, after all this time, I just noticed that I posted the WRONG SONG!!!! No wonder the responses are not what I expected. I meant LIGHT UP THE DARK! The intro and the melody sounds just enough country to be a crossover hit. Not all country singers have a "twang" or an adult voice. Think Billy Gilman or Marie Osmond, both about 13 when they released country hits. Billy was even younger, I think. And Country star Ronnie Milsap played piano exclusivly. Even though he is blind he would jump up on top of his piano during the show. (I would like to see Greyson do that). Anyway, go back and listen to "Light Up The Dark" and picture it played as is, but on a country station. I believe it could be a crossover hit. Agree or disagree. Sorry I screwed this up the first time around.

Sorry about the ads, guys. I guess we got a certain number of days or page views before they appeared. I'll pay the fee tomorrow to get rid of them. I volunteer to contribute. Email me or YouTube message me.

Yeah, I've been using "gre" for weeks. Then just drop down & click on "greyson chance". The best discovery for me (since I'm tech challenged) was figuring out how to filter for videos "uploaded today" only. This was a great tool for following the tour. Another indication of Greyson's increasing popularity is the number of people who post completely unrelated videos of something but tag them "Greyson Chance" just to try to get views.

Hey everyone, I was bored today so I tried to do some more improvements today with the forum. My apologies if when during the editing any users may have been confused or disoriented with a sudden change. I would like everyones opinion and suggestion as it shouldn't be what I think looks good, it's all of your forum too. So please, comment on things you like and dislike and suggest some things that we can add or change, think outside the box too, if you want a feature, I am sure I can figure out something What did I change today you may ask? -Background, It is similar to the one from the last few days but I cut out the edges so the piano keys are more visable on the sides of the forum -Banner Background, The edges of the actual banner are transparent, but because of this there was a black fill around the picture, making a sharp transition between the end of the logo box and the background, I finally was able to make that black fill transparent so now the banner fades into the background. -Centered the Quick Reply Box, It was off to the side, it is not in the middle of the screen. -Signiture boxes, instead of having a users signiture simply below a post, they are no in seperate boxes so no one will confuse a signiture with part of a post. -New "New Post" and "No New Post" icons on the forum index. Now instead of seeing either an empty folder or a folder with a paper that says "New" in it on the forum index. There is a closed WOTL case with "NEW" above it, or a open case of WOTL. The closed case meens that there are new posts in that forum. An open case meens that there are no new posts in that forum. -Chat, If you click the "Chat" Icon in the navigation bar on the top of any forum page, you can join a live chat with only GCF members that are currently online. *Idea, would you like to see this chatbox on the bottom of the main forum page (Index) instead? -djtiny Suggestion. Could you vertically shrink the Register/ Login Page enough so we don't have to sceoll down to login? I've heard of studies that say X% of people don't use the scroll button. I'm thinking that a lot of the very young fans may not know what to do when they click on login and apparently nothing happens because they don't know to scroll down. I confess to being that ignorant when I started with computers so it is just something to think about. I've had people that can't find the forum link on my channel page 'cos they don't know to scroll down. Just a thought.

Duckbiter, I am only going to respond to your comment once, because I don't believe this forum is the appropriate place for negative discussions. I wish you would get a better hobby than posting rude comments just to fire people up and call attention to yourself. I believe this board is meant to be a FAN forum, designed for people who like Greyson's music, not for people who want to be negative. Maybe you don't realize how your comments come across in print. But please remember how it was to be young, and keep this board a happy place for Greyson's young (and old) fan's to come and relax with friends. Calling Greyson "Fat Boy" and "Stupid" doesn't make you sound like much of a fan. Not to mention that it is just plain rude. You seem intelligent for the most part so I'm sure that you can come up with some positive and intellectually stimulating comments that we can all respond to (e.g. your excellent comments on bullying). Please learn to "play nice". Oh, and if Greyson had "sunstroke", he would have been hospitalized immediately as Sunstroke is a life threatening medical emergency. What Greyson had was probably a case of "sun poisoning", that he picked up on his "off day" in Biloxi. Sun Poisoning can happen in as little as 15 minutes, especially in southern regions. He's a 13 year old boy. He's doesn't have the life experience to know some of the things that you do. That doesn't make him "stupid" In your zeal to come up with something antagonizing you only make yourself look "stupid" (Read it again. I did not call you stupid). I'm just asking you to try to be more positive so you don't spoil the mood here for the kids. As I said in the beginning, I will not respond again because this should not be the place for negative arguments, or negative comments. I hope you will think about this. You CAN be more positive if you choose to. Perhaps you could send Greyson some SPF 45 Sunblock. Respect to you grownups4greyson. I know you are great asset to our Forum. You are one of the most active and insightful members. When I see a comment is from you, I know it will be interesting and well considered. Your comments are not unexpected. Your concern reflects well on you. May I postpone a lengthier response? Don't doubt i shall think long and hard before I reply. duckbiter Peace and "Props" to you. Thanks for the compliments.

I belive the twitter account greysonchancee is a real account. It's one where Greyson can interact with fans more. Look at some reccent tweets. Can you post some here please. I don't have twitter. Can't do it on my antique cell phone. Also, can someone tell me more about how it works? I am ignorant on this topic.

I can only hope that Greyson is luckier with his album than I was at the casino! I gotta ask, which casino? what city & state. Pvt message me if you want as this is probably not a "Greyson Forum" question.
