10-Year-Old YouTube Prodigy Brings Lady Gaga To Tears With “Born This Way” Cover

YouTube’s music community is turning controversy into artistry as they find ways to cover Lady Gaga’s accused “Madonna Rip-Off” — “Born This Way.” As the Anthem for All Underdogs shot to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 this week, Gaga was moved with emotion after watching Maria, a 10-year-old musical phenomenon from Canada, cover the hit with perfection in this YouTube video that is quickly garnering views online.

“Can’t stop crying watching this. This is why I make music. She is the future…” the Grammy winner wrote in a Tweet Wednesday.
