Ellen Explains Her New eleveneleven Record Label

“Everyone is talking about Ellen's big announcement that she's starting a record label called eleveneleven. A lot of people have been asking where the name came from, so today she has the explanation.”



After signing her first artist, Greyson Chance, she just recently signed 16-year-old Tom Andrews all the way from the UK. She discovered him on YouTube and is always looking to introduce talented individuals. Tom has only been singing for 3 years and already won over, not only Ellen, but also thousands of YouTube fans out there. He currently just made his first debut on live TV on September 16, 210 performing “It’s A Mans World,” originally by James Brown.



“Ellen just announced that she's starting a brand new record label called eleveneleven -- and she's always looking for new talent. If you think there's someone she should know about, write in and tell us. Be sure to include a link to a video.”

After visiting her website, Ellen started a new page called “Do you think you’ve got what it takes? Prove it!” where selected favorites will be posted and viewers can vote for their favorite submitted video. There are currently four posted favorites, but one in particularly stuck out to me.

At first instinct, many viewers would immediately click the “X” because of his broken English, but I really wanted to see how he sounded and always willing to give everyone a chance. Language barriers can be a huge issue in the United States just simply because most don’t speak other languages and others get frustrated when we don’t understand. Huu’s English is very hard to understand, but as soon as he started singing, I was amazed and had no idea where that came from. It’s amazing how someone can listen to a song like that and sing it almost flawless hardly being able to speak English. I think it’s great that people like him are brave enough to cover a song like this and the talent that comes from all around the world. I love what Ellen does for the Entertainment Industry and the opportunities she gives to talented individuals. I hope to see her record label grow, find more unique talent like Huu, and really wish I could be part of her label someday.
