A Star Was Born! (About 8 Years Ago)

8 year-old crooner Anthony Gargiula's YouTube video has gotten well over a million hits. You'll see why when you watch him blow the roof off of Ellen's studio. This kid's a natural!

Your show with Anthony Garguila was excellent!! His voice is incredible for an 8 yr.old, and what charisma! That was a tough song to sing and he did a superb job! He certainly should go far. Would love to see him on your show again.

Ellen, We loved Anthony Gargiula!!!! Please keep us posted on the show if you do get him an agent. Love to see him perform again next Christmas season! He's great! Love your show!!!!!!!!

Hi, Just looking for that fudge recipe from Paula Dean. No bake and easy. Watched Ellen work it with her fingers and they rolled balls and dipped into nuts, Looks easy and good.

Watch the show each day even if I do housework at the same time. I'm 67, retired and live alone in Easton, Pa. Would to come to the show, someday.

Thank you,

Nancy Cramer

Please Ellen, More Anthony G.!, Lyn

Ellen,

PLEASE
BRING HIM BACK!!!!

Have him be a part of the show, he can sing while you dance

Love you both...Ellen and Anthony you both rock!

Ellen - We really enjoyed seeing Anthony sing on your show. He is very talented. I hope you can help him get his career started!

Ellen
All I can say is INCREDIBLE, you do find that young star someone to sign him. I admire you for finding ppl like this in your job. also dude that jumped over all those cars and speaks now for NIke I adore you and your show, keep up the good work. Not sure why but my ex husbands says you remeind him of me HAHA Must be the dancing LOL

Lil ANthony put goosebumps on my arms.


Your an incredible person Ellen. Loved the CHristmas shows, now could you pls send me the car like Oprah does HAHA I drive a wrecked old saturn with spinners , lil old for that being 49. Disablled in a state/country that does not care about how long you have worked or how ya eat.

I have found that dancing makes everyone dance and when your dancing you are smiling, so keep making ppl smile, someday perhaps I can dance with you and see what the comparison is , we dont look alike at all , so that cant be it, perhaps its our charming personallity and kindness that is the resemblance


PS what is going on with Ms Puerto Rico dress scam, if you read this on air, pls dont have to mention that, Ms Puerto Rico seems like a charming beautiful woman and not one to fake this for publicity . Seems like the bad guys always get away with and makes things worse for the few of us that are GOOD ppl

Take care of yourself and your family.

PS again, not sure if anyone but I noticed Anthony looks like he could be your son, and has that quick witted personallity to go with it, lil charmer and fuuny lil man.

Much love to you and yours Ellen

Ellen,
When I heard Anthony Gargiula singing, I was blown away. He is the son of my nieces best friend, he has a great future ahead of himself, his parents have done a great job raising such a polite and talented young man...rock on Anthony!!! oh, Ellen your great too!

Ellen, I was at the Altamont Fair this summer to watch the Jonas Brothers perform and Anthony was one of the opening acts. I was completely blown away. He is absolutely phenomenal. He gave the Jonas Brothers (who were amazing as well) a run for their money, haha. =]

Anthony is a great performer even at the young age of 8 - you have a way of making things happen for those that deserve the attention. Good luck Anthony-may your talent and innocence take you a step further to your goals.
Moments like this are what make me love your show Ellen (well, and the dancing, who could resist the dancing). Thanks for caring!

I hope Anthony's appearance on your show Ellen will launch Anthony career too new heights. He is just fabulous and somebody needs too grab him quick and sign him up for a record deal and who knows what else he is talented in.
He is humble, smart, well spoken, great sense of humor and so relaxed, he has the whole package. Cool dresser and great stage presence.
I loved the interview you had with him and boy what a natural. I also noticed that he has lots of rythmn and can really move. Most likely a great dancer already.
This young man is going too go far, no doubt about it.
I will be waiting and watching too find out what is in store for him. Thank you Ellen for not only bringing him too everybody's attention, but you have done so with so many potential artist.
You are a gem for trying too help launch young adults and give them the exposure on your show that could change their lives forever. Your the best!
Just one of millions of Ellen's fans that love you. Sandy

He is just a wonderful kid may God bless him.

Really enjoyable to watch good, clean singing on tv!

Anthony You ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep on keepin on.

Best wishes in your long bright future.

this kid is only 8 hes not gay!!? dont corrupt hes mind! kids just talk sweet!

That kid is fantabulous. His talents will take him far, fo sho. I love that he completely embraces who he is at such a young age... the only thing that perturbes me is the fact that no one stated the fact that this kid is obviously gay. God love the straights but no one can naturally, from birth, move their hips like that... beeing gay myself, I felt proud to see a glimpse of a more accepting future, i.e. his father looked so proud watching him from the audience.

Thank you Ellen, for having such a diverse group of guests on your show. It's refreshing to see someone care about childrens welfare and actually HAVE them on their show to help them along their way.

Love,
Stevie

Ellen Anthony is superb!! I saved this webpage so i could play him over and over!!

You can find some of the best talent. I really enjoyed listening to him and didnt want to close your webpage for this day because i played him over and over.

Ellen - you are a natural with the little kids. I really enjoy your show and love it when you find the talented ones.
