Just some news:
- Charice will be flying to Italy in a day or two to appear on a television show there. She was invited to duet with some Italian superstars or something.
- It looks like her album will be mostly upbeat songs with only a few ballads. One song is called Electric and she mentioned Jordin Sparks-type music.
- Charice really wants to include a Filipino song on her album and David Foster is okay with the idea.
- Supposedly, they're going to release the album on iTunes first since she got discovered on the internet after all.

where did you get this? pls dont spread false info if you are not sure 100%, her album will be released on sept-nov. The songs that will be released on may are her "single". Album and single are different.

and i think DF and company will not allow her album to only be present in I-tunes because it will affect the 1st week in the billboard charts. For me, its better if they will release a physical copy+ itunes + amazon at the same time.

Which single are they going to release on iTunes? Fingeprint?

I don't remember where I read or watched that bit of info. I can't be bothered to search right now but all I know is it was an official news source. The first thing that popped in my head was "Oh, I guess they're doing the Utada Hikaru route with releasing on iTunes first" but you're right, maybe it's just the single and not the whole album. I personally don't think it's a good idea to release the album online before it hits stores.

For some reason, I love Charice's version of I have nothing than Whitney Houston..

She reminds me of Hwayobi
Little person, amazing voice.

[Onizuka]

She resembles the late deceased Teressa Teng to me for some reason.

It's as if a reincarnation.

cute lady + very talented.

italian comments that are translated by our italian friends:

The director guy nailed it when he said to Cha, "You don't have a gift from God, You ARE the gift from God".'
Gian lucas , "ti amo charice"

one of the italian poster summarize what the judges says:
here in italy i watch fm tv all the show…wow wow owoo……director said to be speechless and musicians totally amazed and screaming also bravaaaa….really tha audio fm youtube cannot even far render the soul voice of Charice…the audience was literaly blown away..can’t stand especially the host antonella and the judges also with teary eyes were enchanted fm the grace of Charice she’s one of kind…Virna Lisi after 1st song can’t stand saying charice could hv diamonds in her throat…unbelievable"

The girl's talent is simply astounding. She is one of the few people out there who has made me proud of my roots. Just a suggestion though, I'd hope she'd find time to improve on her diction and public speaking ability. They're part of the total performer's package anyway and would benefit her in the long haul.

[Miki_miki]

When she sang 'My Heart Will Go On' on the Oprah, I would like to cry like holy~ TT_TT She's really talented and still young! I wonder she could be the next world diva with that kind of voice....

[Onizuka]

And she is Asian.
Makes me really proud.

Asians have never succeed or very hard to succeed in the U.S. music industry.

I hope she will make it.

That Italian guy is hot!

[zeidrich]

Listen Rehearsal - i think its much better than the actual performance

[geishaOo]

arashi had a video of her singing on himitsunoarashichan.
charice must've been under 10 yrs old at the time and she sang like a pro.
there was so much energy and power from her voice.
i thought that was one of her moving performances.
