After that, they have appeared on various TV shows in the Philippines, especially TV5, which they gave exclusive rights to interview them for reasons that Aldrich was experiencing stress after the whirlwind of events that took place after they became famous. Aldrich's father died while the duo was making waves in online networking sites and various media organizations.
Here's the video of their recent appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show:
The episode was aired in the Philippines just this Friday, September 13 on 2nd Avenue.
Aldrich and James performed the song that made them famous, Dance With My Father in an awe-inspiring number.
What is more awesome about their guesting is their very good English, especially Aldrich. They also appeared naturally confident even making Ellen and the audience laugh.
I also saw my schoolmate and Aldrich's sister, Sharla, in the video.
Ellen gave Aldrich and James a keyboard and an electric guitar and handed them a $10,000 check.
Aldrich and James's appearance on Ellen is the second time for a General (as people from GenSan fondly call themselves) to be Ellen's guest. Zendee Rose Tenerife a.k.a. Random Girl was the first.
