Michaela Wallace
An explosion of new energy has burst onto the pop scene in the form of 15-year-old Michaela Wallace, who has blown into the consciousness of the mainstream with her single "Justin Bieber's Girlfriend" off her EP of the same name. With a voice and poise that belies her age, Michaela is generating a deafening buzz that's less about the song and more about her incredible singing and style. Yahoo.com has called her "the next Taylor Swift" and her video of "Justin Bieber's Girlfriend" has received over 2 million YouTube views.
