Watch for three young Chattanooga singers on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" today at 3 p.m. on WRCB-TV.
In a video clip provided in advance, the talk-show host surprises 14-year-old twin brothers AT and Amarion Toran and their 15-year-old cousin Dre Vinson, also known as the singing trio Citi Limitz, by calling them down from the audience.
"When my producer showed me a video of these three talented singers, I wanted to meet them," DeGeneres tells the audience. "It didn't hurt that their song happened to be about me."
The camera then cuts to a video of the teens singing a promo for the show.
AT tells DeGeneres they've been singing their entire lives and performing together as a group for the last three years. They also reveal that despite their family's financial struggles, they've always wanted to give back to those less fortunate.
The trio then performs "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran. DeGeneres offers to buy Citi Limitz's CD and surprises them with checks for $10,000 each, courtesy of Shutterfly.
