[MUSIC - "HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN"]
There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun.
[APPLAUSE]
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
And god, I know I'm one.
My mother was a tailor.
[APPLAUSE]
She sowed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man down in New Orleans.
[APPLAUSE]
Oh mother, tell your children not to do what I have done.
Spend your life in sin and misery
in the House of the Rising Sun.
[APPLAUSE]
There is a house in New Orleans.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[APPLAUSE]
[CHEERING]

ELLEN DEGENERES: Hi!
[LAUGHTER]
- [INAUDIBLE].
Oh, my god.
- Hi!
- How's it going?
- Good.
How are you doing?
I can't believe you didn't walk over here like this.
I mean, you were spinning so fast,
and you just walk right over.
I am so impressed with you.
I was watching the whole time, and I was rooting for you,
and I'm so happy for you.
Congratulations.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for having me on the show, this is crazy.
This is absolutely crazy.
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
What's amazing, too, is you've only
been doing this for three years and you're self-taught.
You've never taken a class, you saw Pink,
and you were inspired by her, right?
- Yes, exactly.
Yeah, so everything I just showed you was self-taught,
I did that entirely by myself.
I choreographed it, everything like that.
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you.
- OK.
So you see Pink do this, did you see her
in concert live or did you just see a video?
- It was a YouTube video of Pink.
ELLEN DEGENERES: OK.
- And she was awesome.
ELLEN DEGENERES: She's awesome.
- She was doing it while she was singing,
and doing these crazy moves.
ELLEN DEGENERES: I know.
- So I was like, I've got to try this.
So what I did is when I went to my grandma's closet
and got out of bed sheet-- a queen sized bed sheet,
and hung it with two straps in the tree by a ladder,
and then I research more about aerial and stuff like that.
And this is kind of where I ended up,
you can see me on the tree right there.
- How many times did you fall and break something
before you got good at this?
- So I have never fell in once, but my toe has turned white.
[LAUGHS]
- Did you get a caught in something?
- Well, it's ankle drop.
What happened is the impact, and I just turned my toe white.
- Do that point again.
That's a ballet-- I mean, have you ever--
have you danced?
- I have never, or no classes or anything like that.
- No classes and you can do that?
That's what a ballet person does like studies for-- and now
you're working on, which was why we cleared this.
I want you to show people--
- Oh, yeah.
- Look, what is she-- what is your mother doing?
- That's my mom, and she brings me up
on the golf cart, or the lawnmower.
And we've upgraded to a lawnmower.
I mean, upgraded to--
- Yeah, so you stand on that to get on that,
and then she backs up.
- Yep.
And I go up in the air.
- That's hilarious.
- Yep.
[LAUGHS]
- God.
All right, so--
[APPLAUSE]
I want you to show--
because you're expanding your act.
- Yes.
- And you want to demonstrate what you're doing?
- Yes, OK.
So this is a handstand.
[APPLAUSE]
- Oh, my god.
[APPLAUSE]
You're amazing!
- Thank you so much, Ellen, thank you.
- You're amazing, really, amazing.
- Thank you.
