That kid is like 11 yrs old and the emotion he conveys in his voice is chilling. I saw this last night and it had 247k views - today it's over 2 million. New internet hit in the making.

btw why in the fuck would he pick such a fucking ridiculous song?
because he's 11, and because its some tv show and ppl are gonna recognize that song as opposed to something more underground
a TV show? dude its a 6th grade festival.
oh. hahaha, serves me right for not watching til the end, just assumed it was TV :D

Hi. I am a music major and I dont think 99% of population truly understands the difficulty of having the courage/balls to do something like this in front of your whole class, let alone kill the fucking performance like he displayed. Tons of props to the kid especially if that was his own arrangement. Not a lot of kids have the maturity and balls to sing like he just did, can't comment too much on piano since im a terrible pianist but his cover is very very very creative. A lot of good musicians I know just try to replicate a cover note per note and keeps same tempo and rhythmic element. Don't think theres anything wrong with that but it limits your creativity as an artist. Dunno what else to say but i would not go as far as to say his version was better than GaGa's. Gaga might look like an idiot but she is a genius and a really talented musician.
it's his opinion that lady gaga is a genius and it's mine that she's not, but if we put everything together to judge it as objectively as possible, i'm pretty sure my conclusion would be the winning one here. she's a popular artist, and her eccentricity (extremely shallow if you ask me) shouldn't be mistaken as 'genius'. she has no talent or intellectual gift that pushes the envelop, she's just an entertainer, with a pretty enough voice to please crowds mainly composed of teenagers and deviants.
hear an interview of her and an interview of a true genius and you will quickly see the contrast between the two, same with other artists' works and hers. the contrast is absolutely huge. there are not two kinds of geniuses.
and i think flounder's judging skills are extremely poor which is equally related to his poor understanding of music -- the product of not breaking out of this box that formal education puts you in
fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount
hahahahaha Lady Gaga a genius? are you fucking insane, she is mediocre at best, i give her credit that she is brilliant at self promoting... she is like the Raszi of the music industry ;D
