Ellen DeGeneres Invites Aldrich Lloyd Talonding to Perform in 'The Ellen Show'

American TV host Ellen DeGeneres invited Pinoy YouTube sensation Aldrich Lloyd Talonding to perform in the 'Ellen' show. Just like Charice's, the invitation was aired live on The Ellen Show.

"Last week I saw this video of a young singer. He’s from the Philippines. You gotta see this kid, amazing," Ellen said. "How beautiful is that? It’s that soul in that little boy. So, I’m looking for you. Please come here and sing to me and all of my friends here. You are amazing,” the host added after the viral video of Aldrich was flashed on the show.

The video of Aldrich Lloyd Talonding singing a heartfelt rendition of Luther Vandross' Dance With My Father eventually became a viral hit. The video was even featured in major newscasts TV Patrol and Bandila, reporting that there have been movements in social networks to endorse Aldrich to perform on Ellen.

These move might have reached Ellen and being the talent discoverer herself, Ellen DeGeneres did not hesitate to invite the kid from General Santos to sing in her show live. If Aldrich Lloyd will accept the invitation, he will join the ranks of Charice, Arnel Pineda, Rhap Salazar and Zendee Rose Tenerefe, all Pinoy sensations who had already performed on Ellen.
