Yes, but, you know, you may not have more than two albums, but you write hit after hit after hit.

Every song that you write, everyone knows your music.

Everyone sings along to your songs.

You have beautiful, beautiful songs.

And what I could not believe, and I didn't talk about this with you backstage, but it's just, it's hurtful, because there were people that were saying, and I know you listen to some of this, which you should never listen to it, but the New York Times wrote an article saying that...

What'd they say?

They, well, you know, you know what they said, but they basically were, didn't think he was a star.

They said he was not a star because that he's not in the tabloids and he doesn't have a fragrance.

They said that he's not...

That's what they said, that he was not ready and it was too big for him and he couldn't do it, and he pulled it off, I think, beyond what anybody...

I did.

No, I did hear that, and I think that was by far the most disgusting thing I think I've heard.

You know, not because it was taking a shot at me, but I was just thinking about aspiring young musicians who, you know, want to do this, and even hearing the thought of that you need a fragrance or something like that is just...

You know what? I would like to make a little speech and talk to them about this.

Can I? Can I do that?

Yes, please. I would love for you to address this.

I want to address this.

But listen, I need your help.

I need your help.

When I'm done with my speech, if anyone can just cue up the Rocky Anthem.

Oh, we have the Rocky Anthem.

I'm sure we have it. We'll find it.

You have that?

We'll find it, but let's hear your speech, because I think you should address it.

Listen, any young aspiring musicians out there, if music is what you want to do, if music is what you love and your passion, it doesn't take a fragrance.

It's not about the tabloids.

It's about you putting in the work, practicing every day, practicing your vocals, practicing your instrument, practicing songwriting, and hopefully one day you write the song, you know, the whole world wants to get down to.

And I promise you, I promise you, one day you're going to have your moment to shine, and you're going to have a lot of people saying that you can't do it, and you're not good enough.

But I promise you, if you go out there and you sing, and you put your heart and soul into it, and you follow your dream, one day you're going to be sitting next to Ellen DeGeneres.

You're going to be sitting next to Ellen DeGeneres talking about how you broke records and rocked the Super Bowl.

You can still do it.

Stand up!

Yeah!

Yes! Yes!

Whoo!

I did it, Ellen! I did it!

I did it!

Let's go! Let's go!

Whoo!

We did it!

We did it!
