A 10-year-old singer named Heather Russell could be the next Justin Bieber. The pre-teen pianist was just signed to a record deal by angry famous person Simon Cowell based on an original song she recorded and posted to YouTube. Now she's speeding down the path toward becoming the next internet-made superstar, like Bieber or Lily Allen, or at least getting her 15 minutes like Greyson Chance.
Heather's got some mature pipes for her age. She's less Bieber and more "miniature white Alicia Keys." She's already writing songs, too, but I wonder what a 10-year-old can sing about convincingly enough to sell records, particularly when she's not the whip-my-hair-back-and-forth type. Someone get the Bieber songwriting machine on the phone!
Oh, also? We spotted her first, Simon.

She's a lesbian cross dresser with bad hair too?

She sings a lot of notes and is on-key but, honestly, I can hardly understand any of the words. She's young and just needs more time.

oh, i'm sorry...could you play piano like that when you were 10?...and write a song half that good when you were 10, let alone the music to go with it?...she's got talent and you know she's going somewhere with it...dont be jealous of a 10 year old..
on a side note..comparing her to justin beiber? dont even! she has more talent then he could ever dream of...sorry to all the beiber fans..but i personally cant hold any respect for someone who spends the majority of his time trying to figure out how many times he can fit the word "baby" into his next song...

The "15 minutes of fame" gibe at Greyson Chance betrays the uselessness of this pundit's writing. 1. Greyson Chance has been steadily gaining in popularity since his April 2010 Paparazzi vid on YouTube, including lately appearances on various mainstream media performing his new single -- so it's the longest "15 minutes of fame" in the entire history of the universe, and 2. He's a better singer and performer than many other mainstream so-called superstars already performing and recording.
But when your metric is Justin Bieber, I can see how useless punditry might be all you have to fall back on.

She doesn't sound bad for her age. They must be a musically inclined family, I noticed 3 guitars on the rack behind her.
