" I&amp;#039;ve told you how I feel about Hunter Hayes before\u2014in short, I think he&amp;#039;s the greatest thing to come around since baked macaroni and cheese. So when I heard that some other singer-dude had made a cover of his hit song &amp;quot;Wanted&amp;quot; this week, my first thoughts were a) Who is this kid? and b) He ain&amp;#039;t got nothing on my man, Hunter. Well, now I&amp;#039;m really in a pickle, because Ryan Beatty turned out to be that singer-dude, and not only was his cover a-freaking-mazing, but I&amp;#039;ve also listened to his upbeat song, &amp;quot;Hey, L.A.&amp;quot; approximately 20 times by now and it&amp;#039;s basically making me bounce around the office like Tigger on Redbull. The 17-year-old cutie got his start just like Justin Bieber did: by\u2014you guessed it\u2014putting his voice on YouTube. His cover of Cee Lo Green&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Forget You&amp;quot; racked up 10,000 hits a week later, and his own EP &amp;quot;Because of You&amp;quot; has been a huge success on iTunes. He&amp;#039;s already a friend of Seventeen&amp;#039;s, and when he stopped by the office not too long ago, I loved what he had to say about his music: &amp;quot;When I think about the songs that have affected me the most, they aren&amp;#039;t &amp;#039;party in the club&amp;#039; type of songs,&amp;quot; he told us. &amp;quot;Those songs are fun to dance to, but I really connect to personal songs and that&amp;#039;s what I want to create for other people.&amp;quot; Well, pardon me for dancing to your songs, anyway, Ryan, but I can&amp;#039;t wait to keep watching you top the charts! After listening to Ryan, you&amp;#039;ve gotta tell me: Are you Team Hunter Hayes, Team Ryan Beatty, or both? Tell me in the comments or tweet me @devin_tomb! (And don&amp;#039;t forget to tell me who you think next week&amp;#039;s Crush of the Week should be!)  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
