[MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, hello, you two.
How are you?
OK.
Good.
I'm glad.
So--
[CHEERING]
Is this is your first time on TV?
Yeah.
Are you nervous?
No.
You're excited?
Yeah.
It's nice to meet you.
And you are Sophia, right?
Yeah.
Do I call you Sophia?
Yeah.
Sophia Grace?
You can call me Sophia Grace.
Sophia Grace.
All right.
I will.
And you are Rosie.
Yeah.
Hi, Rosie.
Rosie, you're five?
Yeah.
And Sophia Grace, you're--
Eight.
All right.
I heard you do an American accent.
Yeah.
Can I hear it?
OK.
Hey, Sophia.
Hey, Rosie.
I can't believe I'm on The Ellen Show.
[CHEERING]
That was very good.
I do an English accent.
You want to hear it?
Yeah.
Hello.
[LAUGHTER]
Thanks.
It's not that good.
All right.
So you're cousins, right?
Yeah.
OK.
And Rosie, you're a lot of support for her.
You don't really sing along with her.
But you really act out every bit of the action.
Right?
Yeah.
And you do everything together?
Yeah.
What made you want to do this together?
Sophia, do you want to say it?
OK.
Well, we like dancing together.
And Rosie makes me feel more confident because I've
got someone with me.
Because you have somebody with you like that?
That's fantastic.
And you love doing it, too.
Right, Rosie?
Yeah.
All right.
And then, I noticed that you're wearing
the same thing you were wearing in the video that I saw.
Do you always-- is this your costume?
Yeah.
Why is that?
I mean, I love it.
I'm just asking.
We love pink.
[LAUGHTER]
That's first answer, is we love pink.
All right.
Say and we like the fluffy dresses.
Second answer is what?
You say it.
And we like fluffy dresses.
Yes!
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
And the Nicki Minaj song that you--
how long did it take you to memorize that?
Because that's a lot of words.
Well, we learned it about in a week.
But really, we picked up the words in two days.
Really?
Yeah.
That's amazing to pick up the words in two days
because that's a lot of words.
And is that your favorite singer, Nicki Minaj?
We love Nicki Minaj!
We want to meet her so much.
[LAUGHTER]
You know, she's been here before.
She's been to this--
I'm over here.
She's been here before.
You know that?
Has she?
Yeah, she has.
She's fantastic.
And she sat in this chair?
She sat right there where you're sitting.
Yes!
[LAUGHTER]
What is the song about that you're singing?
Do you know what Super Bass is about?
No.
I just learned the words really quickly.
And I like the video because it's
got a motorbike made of ice and pink everything.
I just love pink.
Well, I just love you two.
You're both just adorable.
OK.
So you two are just so magnificent.
Thank you!
I just love you so much.
And you said that you love Nicki Minaj.
Right?
Yeah.
Do you want to meet her?
Yeah!
Come on out, Nicki.
[CHEERING]
How about her?
How about that?
[CHEERING]
Oh, my god.
Look at you!
Oh, my god.
[CHEERING]
That's the greatest of my life.
I mean--
[CHEERING]
You're real!
Oh, my god!
OK.
Nicki, what did you think when you first saw their video?
Within five seconds of seeing this video,
I was calling everyone I know.
And I was also receiving a billion emails.
Everyone is like, you have to see this little girl.
She blew me away.
Do you know I have a hype man?
And you have a hype girl.
Yeah.
You are amazing.
[CHEERING]
I know!
Ellen, seriously, this is a--
I said, superstar.
Yes.
Seriously, we feel like we are watching a journey that's
about to be amazing.
Right?
Yes.
I mean, you are incredible.
I just want you to stay in school, the both of you.
Music is beautiful.
But I want you to stay in school.
OK?
Put your books first and singing second.
OK?
[SCREAMING]
[APPLAUSE]
Bring out the [INAUDIBLE].
We have some gifts for you.
I want to give you some gifts so that you
can look more like Nicki.
[CHEERING]
Let's take your tiaras off.
Can you take your tiara off?
If I just pull this off.
[LAUGHTER]
I didn't really want to do that.
So OK, I'm glad you did it.
Here.
Hold on.
Thank you.
I'm the second Nicki Minaj!
[CHEERING]
I got this call at the last minute.
Right?
Yeah.
We called you this morning.
So thank you so much.
Yeah.
You know what?
But I also want to take them on a shopping spree tomorrow.
I want to send both of you on a shopping spree
to get all the stuff that you want,
whether it's books, book bags, pencils, clothes, guitars,
whatever you want.
Cars--
OK?
--anything.
Cars--
Cars, houses.
I want your album!
I'll give you the album too.
All right.
Clean version.
First of all, congratulations.
You were just nominated for two American Music Awards.
Yes.
Best Pop--
Album.
Yes.
Thank you.
You're crying.
I know.
It's strange.
Isn't it?
Yes.
It's really weird.
I mean, it must feel weird to walk out.
We were so nervous.
I mean, what do you--
I mean, I don't know if you've seen anything like that
recently.
I haven't seen it at all--
That was such a good montage.
It was--
I've never seen like that recently.
Yeah.
I mean, you were little girls.
You were little.
I mean, do you remember the first time you were on?
What's your memory of the first time?
Yes.
Well, the first time I was on, we always
used to do this thing where we got really nervous.
We had nervous bugs.
So we used to spit them out and stamp on them before we came.
Not literally spit them.
But sort of get them out.
And then also we always used to get Jamba Juice
before we came on, strawberry and bananas smoothies.
Yep.
And Ronnie, the microphone guy, he
was literally our best friend.
And we always used to want to get
the bigger number and the smaller number because
of our ages.
So that's definitely some of my memories.
What do you remember, Rosie?
My first memory-- because I was obviously five years old.
So I don't remember a lot.
But the first thing I remember is, obviously,
Nicki Minaj coming out.
I remember that.
But I remember seeing her.
But at that point, I didn't know who she was.
And then it clicked.
I was like, oh, Sophia's singing this song.
Oh, she must be Nicki Minaj, the one singing it.
Right.
Yeah.
So--
Right.
Yeah.
Because she was more excited, obviously.
I just stood there.
Yeah.
Just a little bit.
You kind of got excited because she was excited.
So you decided that I should be excited.
We're back with two of the most memorable guests, Sophia Grace
and Rosie.
It's so weird because, obviously, you all
look completely different because you were so young.
Your parents look exactly the same.
They haven't changed at all.
Oh, my gosh.
They're going to show our parents.
Yeah.
But so when you posted the Super Bass originally,
that's how we found you.
Yeah.
And now it has over 145 million views, I believe.
What made you decide to post that?
Well, what happened is, as a child
I always used to dress up, play dress up.
So did me and Rosie.
And I was dressing up one day.
And Rosie's favorite costume happened to be the Virgin Mary.
Just--
You know, Mary and Jesus.
Yeah.
I've heard of her.
And I had it because I I'd done a school play once.
And I dressed up as it.
So Rosie was around.
And she was wearing the outfit.
And I'd kept singing Nicki Minaj all the time.
And my auntie Danielle, Rosie's mum,
was the only one that had an iPhone.
So she was like, why don't we film it?
Rosie quickly get out of the Virgin Mary outfit.
And get into that outfit that we had on there.
So that's pretty much how it came about.
Wow.
And then we saw you.
And then--
And then, everything else happened.
Yeah.
And then--
Now, we're--
And they put you on the red carpet.
Oh, yeah.
And you hosted teatime.
Yes.
And you met so many different people, as we saw,
Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.
And what is your favorite memory of all of that?
So my favorite memory is with the same person.
It's with Justin Bieber, obviously.
So the moment when he kissed me on the cheek
at the Kids' Choice Awards.
Yeah.
Uh huh.
And obviously, at that time, I was like, ugh, a boy.
He's kissing me on the cheek.
And now, I'm like, oh, my god.
I'd let Justin Bieber kiss me on the cheek again.
Mine was probably-- one of them was definitely
with Drake because me and my dad have always
been huge fans of Drake.
And I saw him just casually coming down the Grammy carpet
when we was there.
And I was like, Drake, my dad loves you so much.
And we had a chat with him.
He ate some of our candy.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm such a big fan of him now.
Anyway, and the second probably the most cool memory
is, obviously, when Nicki Minaj came out.
And them doors over there, when they opened,
I literally looked in every single direction but the one
that she was coming out of.
And then when I finally saw her, it was just chaos.
Yeah.
And it was great.
It was good.
All great memories.
And then, what do you all want to do next?
What's the next thing for you?
Well, I'm focusing on my music at the moment.
I actually have a new single that's just come out,
called Little Things.
And the music video's also just come out.
Now that's great.
There it is on there.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Yeah.
And Rosie?
So obviously, following it in Sophia's footsteps,
I'm releasing a new song.
My new song, it's called Safe.
The music video is out as well.
And yeah.
That's so good.
I'm just loving music at the moment.
I'm focusing on that.
That's fantastic.
