September 11, 200816 yr Author PEP: Charice returns to Oprah, is invited to sing with Celine Dion 09/10/2008 | 09:24 PM Big things come in small packages and young Filipino singing sensation Charice Pempengco definitely gives emphasis to that saying by proving herself in the music scene via YouTube—the same Internet website that caught the attention of American TV host Oprah Winfrey. Charice's singing talent won her more admirers when Oprah featured Charice on her show and after being introduced to music producer David Foster, sparked off a concert in Las Vegas with Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, among others. After her stint in Vegas, Charice got more exposure not only in the US but in Europe as well through renowned classical singer Andrea Bocelli. Andrea, who performed with Charice in Las Vegas, decided to invite her to perform with him in his hometown in Tuscany—an event attended by 8,000 people. THE SECOND TIME AROUND. Folks in the US who got a first glimpse of Charice in Oprah only saw how amazing the Filipina performer could sing. On Charice's second appearance in Oprah last September 9, Oprah this time delved into Charice's personal background, giving viewers a more in depth look into Charice's personal life. First stop was in Charice hometown in San Pedro Laguna. There, Charice related one horrendous experience with her dad nearly killing her mom and how mother and daughter survived that episode. Despite that experience, Charice carried on with her dream to prove to everyone that she can be the best at what she does. At the age of seven, Charice got her first opportunity to perform before a crowd in a basketball court at Balibago, a village a few hours away from Manila. Charice, who once again got to visit the court, related to Oprah how she remembered people telling her that she wasn't good enough and pretty enough. "You know, I just want to prove them wrong," Charice said. SINGING TO HELP PAY THE BILLS. Charice revealed that her mother discovered her singing talent when she was four years old. "She thought that the radio was playing!" laughed Charice. "Celine Dion was singing, and when she entered the living room and she saw me singing, she was like, ‘Oh my gosh, she's singing!'" On a serious note, Charice added that she had joined over 80 singing contests just to provide for her family. "Even if the prizes are $50 or $10, it's big money for us," she said. Before Charice's contribution, her mother had to work 16 hours a day at a garment factory just to make ends meet. But when the money began pouring in from those 80-plus singing contest, Charice, though slowly, began to finally help ease her her family's financial situation. They were also able move into a better house and they were, in some way, beginning to feel the comforts of having the basic necessities. A BIG SURPRISE. Charice showed her drawings composed of her wishes like performing or meeting with some of the great singers like Andrea Bochelli and Celine Dion. Of course, Charice had already achieved one of her dreams by singing alongside Andrea. It seems like that drawing book was not done yet in terms of granting its owner's wishes. Charice, who idolizes Celine Dion, finally got to meet the singing superstar through Oprah. Though only through satellite feed, Charice cried in surprise when Celine's face filled the giant screen. Charice was shaking as Celine greeted her. "Hi Charice. I have to tell you that I'm speechless," Celine said. "I have heard you sing. I have seen a little of your life story and I am extremely ecstatic like the rest of the world who's watching right now. "I can't tell you that we have lots of things in common and I also had a mother who is my strength. My passion I carry in my heart and so my beauty—and David Foster, you can't even think about finding somebody even better than that to bring the best out of you. You have more talent than most people. You can sing, you can speak and sing with your heart, you can play guitar...and you can have dreams because your life story is quite a painful one. Thank God your strength comes from your mother and your heart will go on." PROPOSAL. It seems like getting a greeting from Celine Dion herself was just half of the surprise as Charice could hardly believe that Celine, who was set to perform in Madison Square Garden in New York next week, invited her personally to perform with her. "I would love to do something very special with you," Celine began. "I would love to ask you to come to sing a duet with me... We can dedicate this song to your mother. So I hope you can travel to New York and meet with me." Charice was speechless upon hearing Celine's invitation. In the end, Charice could only utter: "Thank you."

September 11, 200816 yr Author her voice will need to mature and grow obviously but she will be great. find her voice a bit to harsh/hard if u wanna call it that but she is still young.
September 11, 200816 yr When she grows, it'll definitely be one of the best voices around, I'm sure she'll have a bright future.
