hello? He's EIGHT!!!

WOW, awesome is the only word I can think of....I disagree with alot of the comments here though about him being pressured by parents to do this...He seems very relaxed in performing and I don't feel he would be doing this if he didn't want to...just my personal opinion.

This young fellow will go very far in the world of music. He is wonderful. I hope to see more of him. Good luck young one.

this little man is increditable and along with the gift god has given him he also has given him everything he needs as a child to persavire in an adult world

HE IS AWESOME!

Although the boy is talented and charming, I agree with those concerned for his well being; emotionally and mentally. I have worked with children his age for years as a music teacher and though I'm not an expert in child development, I cannot see this as healthy. This boy needs a chance to be a little boy, to live in a world with far less harsh expectations and pressures. Fame and worship is more than he will know how to deal with.

To each his own, just think about what is best for him, eh?

And so it is.

Thank you for the fun you provide daily.

Your the best Ellen.

Love Bonnie

hi my name is Jaimie Hoffman and I am 11 years old and I still watch your show. {and my mom!} I think you are amazing and funny, I love you! {and my mom} I cant imagin a tv show with out it being funny and without dancing. When I see your show I just want to dance and tell everyone about your show. When I saw when a boy sung I wished I could have sung there but Im not very lucky. I just wish I was there!

your truly,

brace face Jaimie

p.s I love you! {and my mom}

Hi,

I love the show Ellen! Have the people who won the twelve days of Christmas contest been contacted? Will you provide us a list of all 12 days of winners.

He is so CUTE! Ahh. Omg, what a talented kid. =]

WOW. this kid is GOOD. i love how outgoing he is and doesnot seem nervous at all. i also love his clothes, but i hope he chose to wear them and wasn't made to by his parents...but the hat is so cute!

I loved it!! I can't wait to buy his cd

Amazing. I can't wait to buy his cd!!!!

Ellen and staff:

While I think its wonderful you're putting kids on air to sing...I saw this kid on the Today Show one day. Awful awful awful...his parents should be ashamed of themselves. Hes a robot and speaks well beyond his years...hes just not normal...Sure he can sing but its not pure singing...he copies the styles he hears. I think he's dressed inappropriately for his age and his parents should stop trying to live out their dreams of being famous through their son.

When I saw the clip was posted on your site, I knew exactly who it was...This boy needs to go back home and be a child.

I loved the little guy, what amazing talent some of these kids have. They always bring joy to my heart and a smile to my face. Love it.....

What a talented kid! Please keep us (your fans) updated on his road to fame.

He's a natural! (and so cute too!)

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO POST THE REST OF THE WINNERS FOR 12 DAY GIVE A WAY. WERE WAITING FOR DAY 9 10 11 AND 12

I love how you put all these beautiful young kids to perform on your shows. Anthony G is very awsome and has such great stage presence. He will go far in life. Thanks for sharing and do keep us in touch w/his life. Jan Smith xoxoxox

What an amazing little boy! I just love him!!! Wishing him lots of luck in the future. He's a star and a nice one, at that!
