The 12-year-old Oklahoma boy, who became an Internet sensation after a video of him performing Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” at a school talent show went viral, has got himself a record deal. The singer’s Interscope label has just signed Greyson Chance. Though the details of his deal are being kept quiet, the New York Post says he’s signed on with Madonna’s manager.
