Guardian Viral Video Chart: Introducing the next Justin Bieber (whoever he is)

So here we are again. Friday morning, Viral Video Chart time and I'm again locked in a futile battle trying not to include any Lady Gaga. And I have failed again. So in the Lady Gaga chart this week ... a child prodigy does his best to better Gaga. You just know this will surface on some "before they were famous" show in 20 years, shortly before Greyson Michael Chance 's spectacular fall from grace after those skin-bleaching rumours and that thing he did with the baby dangling from the balcony. That might be in bad taste, so I'll move on. But not before mentioning that this kid already has a Facebook fan page and supporters lobbying to get him on TV. Plenty more on his YouTube channel. (Every self-respecting potential teen media brand has a YouTube channel.) Guardian Viral Video Chart. Compiled by Unruly Media and heavily edited by Jemima 1 Greyson Michael Chance: Paparazzi Particularly moving are the mesmerised faces of the girls behind him as he plays. You can almost hear them thinking: "He is so hot right now." 2 Look at yourself after watching this Nick Vujicic likes to say he has no arms, no legs and no worries. He's a motivational speaker from Australia with a great line in jokes and a DVD to sell. And he's becoming a viral video sensation. 3 Swagger Wagon We getting post-modern here, and it's all in the irony for this latest in the Toyota Sienna ad series. 4 Walk on water (liquid mountaineering) I know you think you've seen enough extreme sports videos for a lifetime and that they all look the same. But perhaps give this one a look before you rule them out... 5 Janey Cutler - Britain's Got Talent 2010 Great grandmother Janey Cutler might be 80, but she's does a stonking No Regrets. 6 Impossible motion – magnet-like slopes Kokichi Sugahara's won top prize, but it is just one of many ingenious entries to the illusion contest on neuralcorrelate.com. 7 Kangaroo (Remi Gaillard) If you thought Dom Joly had already done all this stuff and Facejacker was a bit dated, you'll probably think this is too. But it does have its moments; the lift is a good one. And it has been around for a while anyway. 8 Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen A little essential advice for the future. 9 Office 2010: The Movie The paperclip got ditched. Deal with it. Spellcheck this: "D-E-D..." 10 Michael Jackson Tribute – Stockholm You can hold me to this, but I don't think I'll ever tire of Flash Mob joy. Source: Viral Video Chart .
