looking for news about Charice's performance on Mandalay Event by DAVID FOSTER and FRIENDS... here are some REVIEWS from people who attended the show..
"Charise, the 16-year old from the Philippines, stole the show."
"Charice: Little teeny, tiny 16 year old Philippine girl with an AMAZING voice. It reminded me of my old roommate Lea, no way can a sound that amazing come out of some one that small but it does!" --

As someone else mentioned from Hawaii of her experience of hearing Cha sing live it sure is different. She's got this big pipe that really carries over even to our section. We found some of the stars we could not really hear what they were singing it is so different with Cha.
She wore a black and gold dress - she looked nice. Sorry but we abided with the rules no cameras but then David Foster kept on saying that we could take pictures of him but not the stars. If we only knew....
She sang I Have Nothing, got a standing ovation, I Will Always Love You, and And I am Telling you, wherein she got another standing ovation.
The only other person that got a lot of standing ovation was Andrea Bocelli. He sang 4 songs and got a standing ovation with those 4 songs. The last song he sang was with Katharine McPhee for The Prayer. It was good but it is always different with him singing it with Celine Dione who he sang it with originally. He closed the first half of the show.
Josh Groban got a standing ovation with his song You Raise Me Up. Here I was expecting Cha to have a duet with someone but was delightfully surprised that she sang solo. He closed the show.
Also, David mentioned that Ms O asked him to put Cha on his show. Oprah's producer Lisa was in the audience and was a big booster of Cha that both she and Oprah asked David to include her in the show. Of course, what Oprah requests you cannot refuse.
Hopefully, other members of this forum will post their experience." --Dbest
"Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner via video praise David for contributing two hits, "I Have Nothing" and "I Will Always Lpve You" to their movie, "The Bodyguard". Well, this is the intro to the WOW performance of David's newest baby, Charice.
She brings the audience to their feet with "I Have Nothing" and "I Will Always Love You" and the "Your Gonna Love Me" sung by Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls". Well, I watched Charice through binoculars and folks, she is the real deal. What poise and voice she expressed for someone so young. Clearly, she gives 110% and the audience stood and cheered. It was awesome.
"Who's the one person who could follow that? asks David."
"HEADS UP PEOPLE!
I and my wife went to David Foster and friends concert last night May 23 at Mandalay Bay. Charice was the second to the last performer at that concert (before Josh Groban). I could say with no doubt she had the most powerful vocal performance in there to the point of David foster himself saying "I don't know of anyone yet who can top that performance". Good job Charice. You really did it. God bless! Let us support this young Filipina International STAR! " --vegasbabies2 - YOUTUBE
