Okay
So I have been googling the Charice girl right because she is getting major buzz over the net for her talent
so I'm watching her performances and I have come across one of the stupidest things I have ever read it urkes me
Charice Pempengco Sings Better than Dreamgirls
Posted on October 26, 2007 at 11:15 am (PST)
A 15-year-old Filipina named Charice Pempengco has proven me right once again. Filipinas sing better than black girls in my opinion. Charice performed a Dreamgirls song And I Am Telling You, which won Jennifer Hudson an Oscar, only Charice did it better. Im certain Pedophiles who roam the Internet will agree, if not just for the fact this is a 14 year-old girl in a skirt. The most touching part is that Charice changed the words - from “Youre the
best man Ive ever known” to “Youre the best MOM Ive ever known.” Mom must be so proud of her little Diva.
Another example of the voice of an Angel is 100% Filipina Lea Salonga. In the video below Lea auditions for Miss Saigon. You might also remember her in Aladdin (1992) singing the voice of Princess Jasmine. Its true blacks are good singers, but for my musically trained ear, Filipinas have one of the most beautiful voices on the planet. Blacks commenting here should listen to music from around the world before commenting. There are many great voices besides black voices. Take some time to appreciate other cultures outside of your own. Im not trying to say blacks dont have good voices, but I am saying Charice has a better voice than Jennifer Hudson. For me its the voice as well as the approach to the song. Black girls sing from their soul, but Filipinas sing from their
heart. Thats how I see it. Nothing against the talented black girls out there.

That really blew my mind
first of all, everyone is entitled to there opinion
but the generalizations are just out of this world
first of all, who is anyone to say where we sing from? whether we are black, filipina, white, puerto rican
you can't generalize a group of people like that, artists are inspired by different things which allows them to sing the way they do
and who says that black girls don't appreciate others who can sing r&B???
That is just an assumption
Second of all, judging from 2 filipinas you think one race can sing better than the other?
how can you figure, there are black girls who can sing better than some filipinas and vice versa
it's not about what race you are , it's about having the ability.
I'm sure there are some non asian people out there who sing in japanese and korean
better than some of the artists, just as there are asian artists who can sing better in english than some
Third of all
This isnt a talent competetion between races
music is for everyone, it isnt limited to any race or country
I am so sick of people always playing the stupid race card when it comes to things like this
I just thought I'd share and see what your thoughts were
No Racist Comments Either
Full Version: Filipinas Are Better Singers Than Black Girls
Filipinas are good singers, but that article is just plain racist.
Then again I won't say that Blacks are the best singers. Remember, genius knows no country. You can possibly find talent anywhere in this world. You just have tap them well.
This'll be a bad thread with debates and stuff so I hope someone closes this ASAP

THEN JUST STICK WITH THAT STATEMENT! Don't bring in all blacks and all filipinos. wayyy too much over-generalizing
but then again, it's from hollywoodgrind.com, so you can't take it seriously
Hollywoodgrind.com is full of idiots bottom line man. Yeah I found that same article from them last night when I was looking up Charice.
Everyone (Doesn't matter race or gender) is talented in their own way.
Everyone (Doesn't matter race or gender) is talented in their own way.
I support Charice, but yeah....I think that article crossed the line. That was too much. I dont like it when other people are being put down in order to prove that one is better or talented.
~*~*~*~
I'm a Charice fan but that article is very stupid. Although Filipinos are underrated!
It's mainly because we are not as popular as other Asian races.
Philippines lost in Asian Idol 2007 but it was popularity based. However, when it comes to quality
Philippines won the ASEAN IKON 2007 which was based by judges of 4 Asian countries.
~*~*~*~
I wouldn't have taken this article too seriously in the first place.
1) It's a personal article, so the writer can write whatever. Yes it was rude and unnecessary for generalizations and certiain comments, but its not like it's ever going to stop. It's kind of being blown out of proportion...since...
2) Look at the source - it's not even a legit website. It's a gossip site! So who gives what the person thinks... Now if Ellen Degeneres went and said this, then we have a larger problem, but if this is from a writer who cannot even post their name up, then I don't see what the fuss is.
Just dismiss them as idiots. They are going to change the world by starting a gossip website, they're only fueling lower IQ's.
- Charice still needs to develop. As of the moment, she is endearing because of the talent she has at this age, but she lacks a certain quality/aura that artists like Alicia Keys and Rhihanna have.

hmmm, i don't think we must waste time reading that article. its just a simple opinion of that person.
both singers have talents and it can be developed further...

This article is @#$% >_> I hate generalizations made about each race ethnicity.
And yes, it always about the ability. And the passion (:
Btw, I'm not really a fan of Charice... Won't say no more because I'll just get bashed.
And yes, it always about the ability. And the passion (:
That was stupid. They're judging on two countries based on a few people.
The person stated his or her opinion, if you don't like it -- move on. People are always playing the defensive card -- which is a possibility as to why there's so much quarrels in the world. Yes, you have your own opinion too -- but why waste your time and energy on something not even worth it? It's clear that the writer lack intelligence and probably common sense to even group people together like that, but who cares.
I think we are giving this person more attention than they deserve.
^ ditto.
it's a personal article and as we have read, she's generalizing and was unmindful of what she was stating. but that's her opinion and we have ours. we shouldn't waste our time on such things because whatever we say it doesn't make a change to what she just wrote.
I thought that most black girls and Filipinas sound the same to me...but thats just me I guess. By the way My mom sounds better that J. Hudson and my mom is black so blah
Seems to me like you've taken the CHarice versus Min issue way to personally.
You said it yourself that it's an opinion. You can choose to either ignore it an move on or
make a big deal about it. Yes, posting it in a forum of 100,000+ members is making-a-big-deal.
Filipinos have a lot of pride for our country even though we're
too americanized to even function as a proper developing Asian country.
And honestly, sometimes we can be too full of ourselves especially if we know that we are good at it.
Take this singing issue as an example:It is true that Filipinos are great singers.(I sincerily apologize. THis came out wrong. Not all Filipino are good singers. I meant the highly, highly respected ones and that's almost everybody in the music industry itself)
And the reason for that is because we take music seriously unlike
the east asian countries where singers who can't sing make it big.
Singers like Charice Pempengco is just one of the many singers we take pride on,
and we know that they're good that's why we love to boast about them.
Filipinos become arrogant especially when it comes to music.
It's a sad truth that we have too much pride for our singers, but it doesn't just come from
meanigless patriotism because like I said before, the music industry is a serious matter to us;
singers who deserve attention is given attention.
It's wrong to have compared a talent of one country to the other with such criticism
and negativity.
This article is most likely written by a Filipino who obviously has too much pride that.
You see the same thing happening on soompi on a daily basis: people comparing whose
better than who to the point that one artist is being dragged down just so they can praise their favorites.
Don't tell me you haven't done it yourself.
I've seen you around the forum way too many times trying to share your "opinions" about TVXQ and SUJU
and the Johnny Ent boys.
EDIT:
Even what I wrote sounded conceited and prideful.
It's just become natural for us.
I'm sorry if I in any way offended anyone or came out immature.
I'm not looking for arguements. God knows I'll be on the loosing side.
My intention was just ot explain where this sort of pride about our singers come from.

WhaaaaAAAaat the **ck? You are a downright racist to the freakin core. 
We know that Charice is a good singer and it isn't because of her race. She sings good because she sings good. I know of tons of filipinos who sing horribly. So if I were you, I wouldn't go around making up stereotypes like that.
~Someone needs to close this stupid thread.

Are you talking about me? or the article?
If it's me, singers who are popular and higly respected and most importantly is in the music industry here in the Philippines are good that's why sometimes we tend to become a tad bit(or sometimes, way more) arrogant when we praise them.
I was only explaining where this sort of pride comes from.
Like I said, the music business here isn't some laughable matter.
I was talking about popular singers, the most respected ones, so just chill.
I was in no way being racist.
I did not generalize that all Filipinos are good singers.
Once again, the highly respected Filipino singers are indeed good, hence the pride and arrogance.
EDIT!
I realized I sort of generalized.
I did not mean that all Filipinos are great singers.(I didn't realize, my apologies.)
But I was only trying to explain where this excessive and unecessary pride comes from.
I'm even putting my own race down saying that we're too full of ourselves.
The people that we see on our local television are amazing singers that's why we have this much pride.
Well the article was biased but its just a opinion...it could have just been left as a opinion.
Sure, Charice has vocal powers and I was impressed on how much power she had and I wish her success.
But it doesn't make her better than any other race out there. She is a person...doesn't make her better because she's Filipino or not.
It was stupid for the writer to compare two different race in the first place but you could have
commented the person saying, you feel offended and race should be treated equally.

First of all
I was not questioning Charice's vocal ability
I have nothing whatsoever against her, in fact I'm glad someone who is actually talented is getting recognized on youtube
and not getting recognized for stupid things (ex Chris Crocker)
Yes I have had my opinions
but I don't make racist comments
there is nothing wrong with being proud of people from your country making it big in
other places because I believe the world belongs to everyone....however it becomes a huge problem when people start making unneccessary racist comments.
Like I said
everyone can have talent
your race doesnt determine anything.

praise them and sometimes to even a ridiculous extent.

i think that generalized tooo much.
i agree that filipinas have nice voices too,
but dang! you sound bitter about it all.
black, asians, white, yellows, etc,
race doesnt determine the voice.
charice is good, i totally agree.
but i think the generalization is too bitter.
anyways, breath.

I just find it funny how when Filipinos are the ones reacting to racism issues
targeted toward us we're deemed overreacting.
But that's another story.
I watched a few of her videos and I know she has an amazing voice but this whole article is very generalized. Talent is everywhere, Filipino singers are very good and excellent and so are a lot of Black singers. I saw the one with her singing with Super Junior and she's absolutely lucky to be on Star King with them and they were totally wowed with her amazing voice. But going back to the topic, I really think the person who wrote this article really needs to re-think about what they say next time and that race does not determine someone's musical ability. Charice is amazing and I love her voice. She should keep it up and good luck to her!
^
why should she be lucky to be on a show with them? they're a bunch of b level celebrities..if anything..they should be happy that someone with that much talent shared the stage with them.

Ok, the article is comparing one black girl (Jennifer Hudson) to one Filipina girl (Charice)....and making that comparision to black and Filipino singers as a whole, what an idiot.
Obviously, this is a waste of my time.

I'm a filipino and I am embarassed when someone says a statement like this. I am proud of my ethnicity but some people are taking it to a whole new level like posting comments on youtube saying, 'Filipinos are the best singers in the world!' blah, blah, blah. There's nothing wrong with... whatever you call this but too much makes us look arogant.
It's true, Filipinos are good singers but not all of them can sing. Almost all of the singers in the Philippines are really good, maybe that's why people generalize. I'm a filipino and I can't sing that well.

i think this is nonsense we should not just focus on one race (filipino) just because one of 2 of them were recognized worldwide.. if you are only pertaining to that youtube girl charice pempengco, she has the voice of a diva but lack the looks of a star.. she didn't make it on little big star not because of the voice, but because of the looks.. i think star quality points is much higher compared to vocal quality, her vocal quality has no problem because she can sing well, however the looks is 
..
she popularized herself through youtube, luckily koreans were amazed of her voice because very few koreans are belters or can sing like her,, (i only knew jang ri in) and besides at her young age its really rare to find someone who can sing like her..
to the person who wrote it, i think you are a filipino and a fan of this girl, but next time, just dont focus on one race.. there are alot of singers who is known worldwide.. BoA, Coco Lee, Rain, Tata Young,, etc and they got the looks too!

WTF. That's a retarded article.
ONE PHILIPNA? And you think the all of them are BETTER? No no that doesn't add up. Calculation is a bit off.
And anyways. J-Hud owns. I don't see Charice with a bazillion awards.

Seriously. This is kinda embarrassing.
Just because one girl wowed the world doesn't mean everyone in her race is like that. Ha, I'm a Filipina and I can't sing as well as her.
Generalizations suck.

1. the source of the "article" is a PERSONAL BLOG
2. it does seem that the owner of the site/ blogger is (most probably) a young teen
3. many filipinos, (including me), has already left a few important messages to the blogger telling her that she shouldn't make stupid generalizations like that.

You should not feel sorry

I just couldnt get over this generalization
and the bad part is that the person who wrote it thinks they are right.
The way I see it, like I've said before, you're still really really hung up on the Charice VS Min issue.
There are probably thousands of other meaningless articles out there
dealing with the same racist issues.
It's annoying as heck to no end; I understand that.
Believe me, I've had my share of frustration with the Desperate Houswives fiasco.
This particular article, to us Filipinos it's embarassing, to black girls like you it's frustrating and offensive.
The point of this thread is to what?
Bring more attention to this immatiruty?

Believe me, I've had my share of frustration with the Desperate Houswives fiasco.
This particular article, to us Filipinos it's embarassing, to black girls like you it's frustrating and offensive.
The point of this thread is to what?
Bring more attention to this immatiruty?

The way I see it, like I've said before, you're still really really hung up on the Charice VS Min issue.
There are probably thousands of other meaningless articles out there
dealing with the same racist issues.

I'm not going to sit here and argue with you
it has nothing to do with Charice or Min
my frustration has nothing to do with me being black
if it was a black person who wrote the article saying this about filipinas I'd still be mad
because I cannot stand when people generalize like that.
I get upset when people go around calling Se7en a wannabe black boy just because
he does r&b music.
and like you mentioned
it was okay to post about the desperate housewives issue
why can't I post this??
I wasn't the one who started the Desperate Houswives thread racist issue + it was in the news everywhere.....
No offence meant at all.
I was just wondering what your purpose for this thread was, that's all, yeah?
-------
Don't deny things that are so obvious.
PEACE!

What the author wrote is HER opinion, though she wrote it as if it were the facts (I personally have different opinions about Charice's singing talent, compared to the author, but I won't type anything about that). People should probably just ignore this article, for its dumb generalizations. The author thinks that whatever she thinks applies to everyone else (which isn't true). And as eternity*kiss said, its probably a teen or young adult. So its probably the best to forget about this issue, even though its already three pages long.
thanks, eternity*kiss
--I thought it was a professional reviewer.
I get enough small-mindedness from the posts from those other two blogs people insist on posting as real news. I have to add this one to my ignore posts from______ list. -_____- (No offense LucasBunny--many of us feel the same way about this as you do, but she's just one of millions of people who think they know everything. >< )
EDIT: OH O: LucasBunny I just got your pm. Don't worry--it's not you--I meant I'm going to add to my try and ignore *news* posted from certain entertainment blogs (not actual truthful+reliable sources) list because all the articles from them do nothing but start rumors, or some kind of trouble--and they aren't real news either--also just someone's opinions...but people post stuff from there like it IS real news. -__-
a lot of us do see what you're trying to say---not that we don't agree with the way you feel--but the person who wrote this article is just some random individual with the need to spread her misinformation and *thoughts*---not someone you would might take seriously like a real or well-known music critic. There are people like her all over the place, especially online.

art and talent do not discriminate.

I want people to know I wasnt trying to cause any trouble
and I think people are missing the point of this post.
But people always post things from Perez Hilton and everyone knows that site is full of garbage
so I didnt see what the problem was posting this.
I didnt try to make anyone angry and I'm sorry if anyone got upset by it

I watched a few of her videos and I know she has an amazing voice but this whole article is very generalized. Talent is everywhere, Filipino singers are very good and excellent and so are a lot of Black singers. I saw the one with her singing with Super Junior and she's absolutely lucky to be on Star King with them and they were totally wowed with her amazing voice. But going back to the topic, I really think the person who wrote this article really needs to re-think about what they say next time and that race does not determine someone's musical ability. Charice is amazing and I love her voice. She should keep it up and good luck to her!

why should she be lucky to be on a show with them? they're a bunch of b level celebrities..if anything..they should be happy that someone with that much talent shared the stage with them.

Who ever said they werent happy to share a stage with her? They praised ( is that the right word) her for her vocal talents. They were really impressed because of her vocals. Yeah, so what if they are B level Celebs? Clarice isnt even as famous as Super Junior. She might be,but we will never know that. She got famous because of youtube and even more famous because of the show Star King. So, yes I think she is lucky she was on that show. I also think because of SuperJunior sharing the stage with her; made her even more famous and liked. I'm pretty sure Super Junior met or shared a stage with someone/group with even more talent than her. Shes not the only one who has talent.
Ontopic...
I like Clarice b/c her voice is amazing. But honestly, it was a personal blog. I wouldn't take it too seriously. As long as you know your own personal opinions, just stick with that.
