This week was Angela Martin's third (and final) attempt to make the Top 24 on "American Idol" -- but sadly, it didn't happen. She's faced some of the toughest challenges while staying strong, and today Ellen brought her here for an amazing performance. She even had an unbelievable surprise for Angela that may change her life!
I just have a general question for anyone that may know. Do the American Idol cast-offs get paid for their Ellen Show appearances? Just curious really. Anyone?
Ellen, PLEASE HELP BRING ALEX LAMBERT BACK!!!!
What a sweet boy with such a good voice. He should be #13...they've done it before...please help bring him back!
ELLEN......You need to use your IDOL power and get ALEX LAMBERT back on IDOL!!! I cannot believe he was VOTED off by AMERICANS. If you can't get him back on IDOL,at least do something for him. He deserves it. It broke my heart to see him voted off.
ALEX LAMBERT deserves to be in the TOP 12!!! OR maybe the TOP 13...it was done before!!
Hey Ellen! Heading into the top 12 I can't help but wonder if a mistake was made. I am very glad that you and Kara helped her out in that very special way! Thanks for being you!
hello Ellen, its margo again, i have a face book now and i was wondering if you got the other message, about the killers, yeah i asked my mom and she said theres no chance im staying home , so im definitely faking sick, if you do get them but please do.. email me at m.yrigolla@yahoo.com
Ellen,..your hear is bigger than all the hearts a fluttering together around the world on Valentines Day...I know Angela will due awesome, thanks again.. to her guardian angel...you:)
When the judges told Angela Martin she was not going through to the top 24, I was speechless. I could not believe what I was hearing. Besides the fact that, that girl can sing and for all Angela has gone through, I knew that Ellen had something up her sleeve. When Kara said "you will be going places!" I think it was all in the works for Angela. I ask myself at times "Is their a god?" I know their is a Goddess and her name is Ellen. Good luck to Angela!!

Ellen,
I am crying right now because you are such a wonderful person. I love you so much. I am so happy for Angela Martin because you are giving that poor girl another opportunity to be exposed and discovered. Ellen...you have such a huge heart. I know that in a different world you could be my best friend. I love everything you stand for and I think you are such a lovely person. How lucky did we get to have such a kindhearted, real-live humanitarian as a talkshow host in this country? I look forward to your show each day. It is the highlight of my sad existence. I have a daughter who is suffering with schizoaffective disorder and I never know what the day brings for us. One thing I can count on is your show, Ellen. I am so happy I will get to see my "best friend" on both Ellen and Idol. I love you, Ellen. Thank you for being my best friend, Ellen. I love you.
Love,
Pam O.
I watched this clip and Ellen you are the absolute best. You do what you can when you can and that's extremely admirable.
Ellen you're such a special person. I was in tears watching the show an the situation about Angela. She seems to be a great singer, an my heart goes out to her. I feel that the lord lead you to her because he knew you was the angel she needed.
Ellen,
You had me hysterically crying when I watched this. You are such a giving and thoughtful person and it must feel great to give people such hope. I love watching your show with my 13 and 10 year old boys. You always make us smile and laugh.
You are simply GREAT!!
As a parent of a child with Rett Syndrome..I say "you go girl" Angela!! What an inspiring awesome woman she is! I know what kind of day to day struggles it takes to raise a child with this severe disability an yet Angela never shows any self-pity or plays the "poor me" card. She has actually, in her usual graceful and humble way, minimized it and the amount of work and strength it takes just to manage the many issues. I am so happy for her that she is going to get a break and I have been cheering for her the past three years. Thank you Ellen for recognizing her incredible talent and perseverance! I love your show and am very happy for Angela!!
Ellen,that was so wonderful of you and Karen to help Angela like that,she is a wonderful singer and deserves,it i used to babysit a little girl with rett syndrome,and i know it is a very very hard job.i pray everyday that they will find her mama she has had enough trauma in her life and does deserve a big break,you are an angel Ellen.
god bless you,laura
thank you so much Ellen for such a big lift to Angela, and Thank God for giving you such a wonderful heart to touch the lives of so many people. i could not fight back the tears when i watched her go, but as i watched this now, my tears are for joy so please do accept my Big thank you and Cara, and continue in your good works.
Ellen, I was watching american idol the other night when Angela Martin did not make it. I thought - I wish Ellen could have Angela on her show. Her story broke my heart. In spite of so much she never gave up. Then I was watching your show and not only did you have her on your show the opportunity you and Kara have given her is so wonderful. I watch your show all the time. I used to watch it with my 91 year old mother and wanted so bad to take her to your show. She enjoyed your show so much. Unfortunately she passed away in 2007. Watching your show was the beginning of her and my day. You brighten my day with laughter and dancing. You have a heart of gold and the most caring person. You are a special person. Thank you for all you do for people.
THANK YOU ELLEN! Wonderful outcome! I wish her every success!
If there is any way you could help Chris Golightly - what a travesty as well. I grew up in the same LA foster care system and went through 30 placements- that young man has one heck of a spirit to come through it all trying to smile and reach out for positive goals.
It kills me that Idol pumped his story for ratings and then cut him short because of a technicality. How hard it is to let a tv crew tell the world you have no family and then get dumped on. I've read many comments by people to his story too- it is sad that people are so out of touch and lack sympathy for the difficulty of growing up an orphan.
