We can&#8217;t penalize these artists. Think about it. If you could hold a note, wouldn&#8217;t you want to strengthen that less than perfect sound with a few devices, to achieve fame? As premature as it appears, we have a feeling most people would choose this route. The radio waves are cluttered with these &#8220;robots&#8221;, but within the past year, we have been hearing tunes from authentically gifted artists. So maybe these technological advances are working in our favor. Wouldn&#8217;t that be nice to believe? <\/p>\n<p>Well, we are choosing to believe it with Greyson Chance. The 14-year-old released his debut album, &#8220;Hold On Til The Night&#8221;, back in August. The album features singles, &#8220;Waiting Outside the Lines&#8221; and &#8220;Unfriend You&#8221;, which he performed on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HatmYb7x56M&amp;feature=youtu.be\"> Ellen<\/a> earlier in the month.  <\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Chance nailed his Ellen performance, but he did shock us with his Otis Redding cover on the season premiere of FOX&#8217;s &#8220;Raising Hope&#8221;. On the episode, Chance played the younger, more talented version of the main character, Jimmy Chance. In the show he performed the hit &#8220;Hard to Handle&#8221;, which was originally by Redding, but popularized by The Black Crowes. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PwXML9I0GSg&amp;feature=youtu.be\">clip<a \/> illustrates what we love most about music, which is, that present music is built on the tunes of the past. A boy just beginning his teenage years is singing a soulful track of an artist who was born in the 1940s. If that doesn&#8217;t showcase to you Shockya readers how influential and inspiring music can be than we are at a loss for words.   <\/p>\n<p>by Lonnie Nemiroff <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/greyson-chance1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/greyson-chance1.jpg\" alt=\"Greyson Chance\" title=\"Greyson Chance\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-70226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/greyson-chance1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/greyson-chance1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We do agree with those music fans who think that many artists of the 21st Century are not born with true talent, but given the gift by technology.
