A 10-year-old Winnipeg girl is getting attention from the likes of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres after praise from one of music's biggest stars turned her into a YouTube sensation.

Lady Gaga offered praise for the girl's video cover on Twitter this morning, with a link to a video.

The video shows the young girl, Maria Aragon, playing the keyboard while singing Lady Gaga’s newest hit "Born This Way."

"Can't stop crying watching this," Lady Gaga's message read. "This is why I make music. She is the future."

A few hours later, Ellen DeGeneres sent out the same message, with the comment "Thank Gaga I saw this."

Aragon's video was posted Wednesday, and had already received well over 200,000 views by mid-afternoon today. The video also scored a "Top Favorited" listing on YouTube's main page.

Lady Gaga performed her new hit at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, after emerging on stage from an egg.

Aragon made a visit to the Hot 103 studios over the lunch hour today for a special interview and performance with Ace Burpee, who picked her up from school in a stretch limo. On the ride back to Isaac Brock School, the grade 5 student says she loves to create the music videos.

"I’ve made 72 video already so it’s kinda obvious I like music," said Aragon, who posts all the song covers to her sister’s YouTube page. "It’s my passion."

She says she chose to sing Lady Gaga’s "Born This Way" because of the important message the song sends, and thinks the often-flamboyant Lady Gaga sets a great example. "She doesn’t bother about hearing what everybody else thinks. She just does what she does and she’s successful with it."

Aragon's afternoon was booked up with interviews, and she was set to fly to a mystery location Thursday night. There was an active a push by Ace Burpee and on Twitter to land the talented Winnipegger on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which often features YouTube sensations.
