I love this speech. I'm on the speech and debate team at school and I do this for my piece (I'm in declamation, which is speeches by other people). Hopefully I pull if off as well she she does.
I really love Ellen, she is like who I want to be (other than the fact I am straight)! Other than that I want to be just as funny, giving, compassionate, etc. as her!!!
For some reason when I see this I want to cry. Why is it that things this beautiful happen so rarely? Wouldn't it still be just as incredible if it happened more often...?
omg i thought that this was so brillant i couldnt stop laughin. i was thre when she gave the speech. my brother was in the class of 2009 and we both think that it was an unforgettable moment we love you ellen
that was great. you know you have a talent when you can make people augh and still be able to get a powerful message like that across at the same time.
that was great! you know you have a talent when you can make people laugh and still be able to get a powerful message like that across at the same time.
What a great talent . Her politics are almost completely opposite mine although we both desire the same outcome ( a better life for all). Liberal / Conservative - each believing the other is destroying the most vulnerable among us). What our country needs is some really really funny conservatives but the competition from the likes of Ellen is a high standard to beat! Go, Ellen!!
I'm in agreement with much of Ellen's politics ... and in awe of how she's able to bring so many differently-minded people together. I agree, me3tv, we need more of her kind (of all political stripes)!
Ellen, you are such an amazing person! That speech had so much meaning and it was touching and hilarious at the same time. You truly have my respect. Thank you for sharing your gift to the world, and using it the best way you can. In conclusion, Ellen, you are awesome.
You're the best thing that's happened to this world aren't you, Ellen? You're a role model for all, and I appreciate all you've taught me....and well, what you've taught everyone. Keep dancin'
She's awesome! My god, I think this was the very first speech ever that I actually didn't doze off and start daydreaming due to it be boring. It was funny, entertaining, and touching. Ellen is so cute.
Ellen is amazing. I wish I could have been there, its inspirational and hillarious. She is truly a great person. Especially the mardi gra quote. Perfect.
She's so wonderful! Hearing about the things she went through is really inspirational. I always thought dancing on her show would be great, but now I'd probably be the first crazy person to rush out into the aisle and give her a hug.
love u so much Ellen...
