#10: Emma Rester
At only three years old, this pint-sized gymnast puts our flexibility to shame. Emma appeared on “Ellen” with her mother in 2016, and wowed the audience and at home viewers with her skills. The clip is so impressive that it has been viewed more than 50 million times on YouTube! When Emma appeared on the show, Ellen introduced her saying she had more than 50,000 followers on Instagram.

Top 10 Behind the Scenes Ellen DeGeneres Show Secrets
This Hawaiian hip hop dancer flew in from the islands to impress Ellen with her incredible moves. She performs to the mega-hit “Hotline Bling,” and after taking a second to get into it you’re going to have to pick your jaw up off the floor when she starts showing off her moves. She definitely manages to offer better dance moves than Drake does in his video! Oh and if you’re wondering about Kea’s full name? Kiaulolani Okohoaka Kapuakukahi Piau Ukpihea. Try saying that one five times fast!
#8: Elias Phoenix
Ellen has had a lot of talented child guests on her show, with each one bringing something different in terms of their skills. Elias however, was initially there to showcase his prowess on the piano, but what ended up winning everyone over was his unbridled enthusiasm for Ellen and his excitement to be on the show. Viewers were so charmed by his appearance that he ended up returning several times to meet Ellen again and again. It really doesn’t get any cuter than this, does it?
#7: Balang
Someone sent Ellen a video of an adorable kid in the Philippines dancing to the song “Bang Bang” by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. Ellen knew right away that he had to be on her show. When Balang finally arrived stateside, he came with a translator in tow who helped him chat with Ellen. You might think that the language barrier would make for a less than stellar interview, but this kid’s sense of humor translates just fine. Oh and his dance skills? We’d kill to have his confidence!
#6: Brielle Milla
How many elements of the period table can you name? Maybe if you have a degree in a scientific field you can rattle off most of them, but otherwise we’re pretty sure this three-year-old has got you beat. Brielle learned the elements of the period table when her parents got her some flash cards, and can now recite them all with ease. Brielle has now appeared several times on “Ellen,” and even has her own mini show called “Brielle-iant,” where she gives lessons in science and geography for kids. No matter how old you are, you can definitely learn something from her!
#5: Noah Ritter
Top 10 Funniest Trevor Noah Moments
Most of the kids who appear on Ellen’s show are there to show off their talents, be it singing, dancing, or some other kind of performance. Noah Ritter doesn’t necessarily have a specific talent, unless it’s being completely hilarious in an unintentional way. Noah found fame because of an interview he did with a local news station where he stole the show with his sardonic commentary and the excessive use of the word “apparently”. He was such a hit the first time he appeared on “Ellen” that he has practically become a regular on the show!
#4: Tavaris Jones
Anyone who has seen an episode of “Ellen DeGeneres Show” knows just how prominently dancing features, so it goes without saying that there have been a lot of impressive young dancers gracing her stage. This four-year-old boy however, managed to upstage them all with his adorable and impressive moves. The first time he made an appearance, it was to dance to 'Juju on That Beat' and he has since come back to update Ellen on what he’s been up to since finding fame on her show.
#3: Greyson Chance
When Greyson Chance was in sixth grade, he performed a rendition of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” in a festival at his school. The result was so impressive that over seven years it racked up more than 60 million views on YouTube. Of course, Ellen couldn’t pass up the chance to meet him and have him give a repeat performance for millions more viewers on her show. His cover of the song is haunting, and remains one of the most incredible musical guests to ever appear on Ellen’s show, even if you exclude age from the equation.
#2: Kai Langer

One of the most endearing things about him is his pure, enthusiastic love for Ellen, and when he gave her a valentine and called her his first girlfriend, we pretty much melted. How could you not love him? Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Tayt Andersen Macey Hensley Aidan Xiong
