I really like her singing. Her voice is amazing ^^

I saw her on Star King with Super Junior and I got so jealous.
Hahahahah, then I saw her a lot on filipino variety shows,
And it got annoying when she kept singing the same song over and over again.
But I have to admit... Kid's got talent!

Charice on Oprah - Duet with Celine

Charice does New York

In New York City, where the news this past week seems to be all about the financial meltdown on Wall Street, a young Filipino teenager is making major waves in the pop music scene. And both the New York Times and the New York Post are raving about how 16-year-old Charmaine Clarice Pempengco stole the show from pop diva Celine Dion during the latter’s own concert at Madison Square Garden last Sept. 15.

The Laguna lass now known the world over simply as Charice, did a duet with the French Canadian singing superstar on the instigation of talk show icon Oprah Winfrey, who has taken the Filipino teenager under her wing. The enthused Celine predicted great things for Charice, who has performed with virtually every major star in the pop music firmament less than a year after she was “discovered” by talk show maven Ellen DeGeneres.

“The Most Talented Girl in the World,” as Oprah calls her, was praised by the two newspapers not only for her talent and vocal power, but also for her “impressive” emotional edge. “They performed ‘Because You Loved Me’, though Ms. Dion mostly stayed out of the way as Ms. Pempengco explored the song’s heretofore unheard rougher edges, with ample gesticulations and melisma. As Ms. Pempengco brought the crowd to its feet, Ms. Dion struck poses behind her: awestruck wonder, heartfelt empathy, ambient triumph,” the New York Times review read, as quoted by the ABS-CBN Web site.

“One of the most interesting turns in this show was the MSG debut of 16-year-old vocal prodigy Charice Pempengco, whose manager, Oprah Winfrey—that’s right—secured the Philippine singer a duet with Celine for the song ‘Because You Loved Me.’ The Charice segment was the night’s brightest moment. The teen was able to blast notes with Celine-like power, but she was also able to get in touch with the song’s emotions,” the Post’s review read.

“You did amazing, and the roof of the Madison [was blown off] tonight,” Dion said after the performance. “When you do perform in Madison Square, are you going to invite me? I love you and I can not wait to be with you to perform here for a whole concert.”

The MSG guesting was just the latest triumph for the young girl who has been joining singing contests since the age of seven to help her mother make ends meet. And anyone who has seen Charice perform on YouTube will understand why Andrea Bocelli, Michael Buble, Josh Groban, David Foster and now Celine Dion (one of Charice’s own idols) have all asked her to perform with them.

Charice’s popularity extends beyond the US, as well. Even before she became known in America, she was already voted the best foreign act in South Korea. She is adored in the United Kingdom, where she made a memorable guesting on the hugely popular Paul O’Grady Show, and has been given the key to the city of Rotterdam in The Netherlands.

And she makes every music-loving Filipino proud—even those who don’t really like Buble, Groban or Dion.

* * *

“One of the things I love most about Charice is that no matter what obstacles she’s faced in her life, she’s never given up on her dream of something better,” Oprah said about her new ward. And Oprah says she is just happy helping Charice’s dream of being a popular singer come true.

Charice first got noticed locally when she placed third in an ABS-CBN singing search show. Then an adoring fan started posting videos of her performances on YouTube—the same videos that aroused the interest of people outside the Philippines about the little girl with the big voice.

Many Filipinos—and Americans— started hearing about Charice after she first appeared on DeGeneres’ show last December, but it was her performance on Oprah this year that really got things going. The show did a story on Charice’s life and hard times and Oprah herself decided to invite the young woman back to the show as she was about to leave to return to the Philippines.

The rest of Charice’s story is, well, the stuff pop-superstar dreams are made of. Oprah got in touch with starmaker and music industry legend Foster, who included Charice in a star-studded lineup he put together for a show in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay hotel.

Charice also got invited by Bocelli to sing in a concert the Italian pop star staged in his hometown. And then came the Madison Square Garden duet with Dion, whose songs Charice likes singing.

Charice’s voice is indeed wondrous, a mixture of power, maturity and emotion that no teenager should be able to access. And her stage manner and presence make her a joy to watch—a combination of poise and just-happy-to-be-here joy.

With Oprah backing Charice and her formindable talents, there seems to be no limit to what the former star of YouTube can achieve in the future. She has yet to record any original songs, but anyone who has heard Charice will agree that she gives even the most hackneyed popular song a fresh sound—a sure sign that there’s more to this young singing sensation than just an uncanny knack for karaoke-style mimickry.

Not bad for a kid from Laguna who joined singing contests six days a week and who, if she earned P2,500 in prizes, was happy because she could feed herself and her mother and brother for a month. And now, when Charice is set to join the ranks of the world’s pop superstars even before she’s old enough to drive a car, her dream is truly on the verge of coming true.

Good luck, Charice. You do us proud.

excerpt from the article:

Foster says he's been busy in recent years developing new talent, noting he's eager to pursue the awesome vocal prowess of Filipina teen singer Charice Pempengco.

He says he discovered the mature-voiced 16-year-old on the Internet and expects to help her put together a debut album by 2010.

"At 16 it's just too young (to have an album), unless you want to go after the Disney crowd, which I know nothing about," says Foster, the Victoria-born phenom who's launched the careers of Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Michael Buble and Josh Groban.

"It almost seems like in the Disney crowd, with all due respect, that most of the singers don't really sing that well. It's almost like a prerequisite to be a success on the Disney Channel. If you look at Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus and all these girls, they're OK but they're not Celines and Whitneys. I don't think Charice belongs there, so I think we'll just wait and when she's 18 it'll be the right time."

i hate abs cbn, they just gave her attention now that she's really popular
diz
^ I only hate ABS CBN for that.... and they're bias against the current regime lol. Anti-Arroyo, they're so annoying with the misleading news coverages.

other than that, it's a rather successful company which is one the best in Asia and best in SouthEast Asia in terms of quality.

I love Charice! FILIPINO(A) POWER! She is an awesome singer! And a Damn lucky one. She go to see FREAKIN SUPER JUNIOR FOR GODS SAKES! That's like......one of my "dreams" I wish i was as good as a singer as her. And Heck! I wish I could also see Super Junior. How did she get on Star King anyway. I know she is a great singe and that is why she is on Star King, but How did they find her and stuff like that?!
zashibear
She guested in Good Morning America today! She was with David Foster and performed "The Bodyguard " medley. She did an awesome job! So proud to see her in US TV.

And she will be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade (to perform there too) watch out for it.

Charice duet with Celine Dion

Charice on Good Morning America

summerdamsel
i watched it on youtube just the other day
she was amazing as usual ..
but i think her duet performance with the boy who sounds like her on boy and kris was better
it was really kinda shocking listening to both of them
if you're not looking on the screen, you wouldn't think its a duet cause they sound so alike

Yeah, I saw the video in Youtube. She's amazing, as usual. sweatingbullets.gif But I wished she had performed longer there...
mikeh
just saw her duet with celine dion and wow! what a voice. i think she outsang dion...

GoldenSlumbers
^Yeah I also just saw her duet with Celine. And wow...that's one of the few performances I've watched that actually made me cry. I've always known her stage presence was incredible and that she can really feel the lyrics. But in this performance, due to it being dedicated to her mother, you can see (& hear) that she was pouring her heart out in every word and every note she sang. And that's what made it 10x more enjoyable for me.

Seriously, there are great singers and great performers/entertainers. Some lack in passion, others in vocal talent. It's pretty rare to see both in one package----and at such a young age, too!

I wish her the best in the future. And so does my dad who's such a fanboy for her ^^ She makes us proud!
discofuse
She's amazing! And a very lucky girl!

I want to see her in Star King again.

And, btw, she was amazing during her 'duet' with Celine. She just keeps on getting better. XD

Ehh, for some reason I'm not really feeling this performance of hers. I think the singers in the back kind of ruined it, too. But that's just my opinion.

I heard about that too and wow, holy crap! T__T Charice is going places like there's no tomorrow, to sing at Obama's inauguration is quite an honour. I can't wait to see it. biggrin.gif

I can't wait for her international album. *___*

I heard Charice is going to start recording her debut album soon. I thought they were going to wait but I guess they're aiming for an earlier release because she has already created a buzz.

I noticed a lot of Charice's fans are parents who think she's a nice, talented kid maybe because the people who watch Oprah, Ellen, Good Morning America tend to be from the older crowd. That's good because mature people put more emphasis on talent rather than image.

David Archuleta (recording artist, 2nd place on American Idol last season) promoted Charice to his fans on his recent blog: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseact...logID=461598840

^ good! bigger fanbase :], how many singers have fans that are from the "older" crowd right?
