Met the Petersen family at a concert here in NC. They are one of the nicest families that you could ever meet. Ellen really took time to talk and not just small stuff. She is a conversationalist and she's awesome!

Wow, Ellen is gorgeous, talented and so humble. This is the kind of young woman all our little girls need to look up to.

I haven't watched American Idol or equivalent in over fifteen years. I've watched Petersen videos pretty much every day since 2020. Enough said.

Ellen's smile lights up the room.

Now in 2020, Ellen Peterson still plays with her family band ," The Petersons ," and the people she runs to in the waiting area are the Peterson Family band members . They now are without a doubt one of the best sounds in the music industry today . Type in The Petersons and listen to their sound . Their harmonising voices work a magic together similar to the BEE Gee's family and as other family bands appear to do so well . / ( UK )

Yeah, if you go to their Petersen's Family channel and read some of the comments, her "glow" is often referred to as "Ellen Power"!

There are performers who are 'in-public nice' and a few who are 'in-private nice'. When accidents and surprises happen or people aren't watching, the real nature happens. My compliments to the parents for raising 4 of the few 'in-private nice' and very kind people.

I watched "American Idol' for a few years, but had moved on from the show by 2015, so I'm glad I got to see this for the first time today.

The "Beverly Hillbillies" theme song? Are you kidding me? CLASSIC....

She is a pro and they recognized it. her parents trained her from infancy up so dont forget to give them some credit.
