Mar 08, 2020 by apost team

Ellen DeGeneres is well-known for inviting guests onto her show who have become surprise internet sensations. In one popular example, 22-year-old street performer Salif Gueye was invited to come on The Ellen Show all the way from France to show off his amazing talent doing some awesome dance moves inspired by the King of Pop and one of Gueye’s heroes, Michael Jackson.

Many aspiring dancers draw their inspiration from the legendary Michael Jackson, whose iconic choreography changed the face of dancing for all time. Salif Gueye, a huge fan of Jackson’s, told Ellen he practiced constantly until he had adapted Jackson's style for himself. All the other aspiring dancers who shared the studio with him were in awe when they saw his moves.

Of course, the interview began with Ellen welcoming Gueye and sitting down for a friendly, relaxed chat. Ellen requested that Gueye share some things about himself with her and the audience. That's when he opened up with some very interesting information: he said that in addition to money, he often receives odd things from people who watch him perform on the street, like candy, phone numbers … and even condoms! He also talked about earning $1400 in tips in a single day and spending the money on a new cell phone.

Gueye’s charming way of expressing himself thrilled Ellen’s audience. His charm and sense of humor keep audiences smiling and interested. He shyly admitted that it was a dream come true for him to be on Ellen’s show, and was one he never thought he would ever be able to achieve.

When Ellen asked him to show off his dance moves, his performance was a real “thriller” for Ellen and the audience. Geye began dancing to Michael Jackson's “Black or White”, to the audience’s delighted applause and cheers. They were amazed by his talent. When he performed Michael Jackson's iconic moonwalk, the whole audience went crazy. Even Ellen was in awe of this incredibly talented young man.

From the moment the music started, Gueye came to life. He smoothly performed one part of the choreography that had everyone cheering and stomping their feet: he performed a move using nothing but the muscles in his legs to pull himself upright from the ground. The move seemed to completely defy gravity.

Salif Gueye received an awesome promise from Ellen herself. Because she was so impressed with Gueye’s performance, she gave him her word that she will personally post all of his videos to YouTube!

Everyone is in 100% agreement that this phenomenal young man deserves as much recognition as he can possibly get for his talents. Ellen’s promise presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. Ellen also had a great gift for Gueye: a white hoodie decorated with amusing captions. She instructed him to wear the hoodie during his next dance performance. The front of the hoodie proclaims, “I Danced on The Ellen Show”.

To date, Salif Gueye’s amazing dance performance video has been viewed more than 3 million times. Gueye’s Instagram account has amassed a following of over 2 million subscribers. In 2019, he gained even more exposure by promoting future NBA games in his homeland of Paris. He has appeared and performed his dance moves at a number of fashion line premieres. He has even given a dance lesson to Jada Pinkett-Smith!

We all wish nothing but the best to Salif Gueye in his future endeavors. There's no doubt that he is headed for even more fame as he dances his way around the world.

Check out the amazing video of his performance on The Ellen Show, and tell your family and friends about it so that they can enjoy it too.
