The purpose of the blog is to analyze and comment on the various aspects of Films, Music, and Sports. Project Mayhem is the name of an organization in the film "Fight Club." The organization is formed to rid the world of cultural norms, or what is expected and wanted of a person to fit into a community. Through this blog, I hope that the analysis of these media produce a similar effect: ridding public opinions of stereotypes or predetermined conclusions regarding these media without proper evidence. So, please, add input, correct mistakes, give your ratings/opinions, and open your mind...

Greyson Chance
Thirteen year-old Greyson Chance has emerged as another one of the top YouTube stars of this past year, as well as creeping into the the national spotlight with his Bieber-esque voice and prodigy piano skills. Having started playing the piano at age 8, he never received any formal vocal training. His skills emerged with the video of him playing Lady Gaga's Paparazzi for a 6th grade talent show. The video made it rounds by being talked about by Ellen Degeneres, Ashton Kutcher, and Ryan Seacrest, and eventually garnering over 39 million news. Since then, two of his own songs have gotten over 12 million combined views, while he is now on tour with similar rising pop star Cody Simpson. His first single and video is shown below, broadcasting his ridiculous vocal and piano talents at such a young age, as well as three of his other productions. I really like Waiting Outside the Lines, especially since it shows some emotion and depth for a 13 year-old.

Waiting Outside the Lines
I will be very interested to see what this phenom does in the future. Let us hope he focuses more on his talents than the popularity he receives from them.
