i've been youtube-ing for hours today, i lost counts of time. as my tittle of this post explain what i just did these last couple hours, yes i'm developing an obsession to a new talent from Philipine, name Charice. good God she is breathtaking! i didn't overstating her, oh you probably just should see it for yourself, i'll give you the video of one of my favorite live performances of her.. she sing a rendition of beyonce's song listen at oscar after party (i didn't really like her performance after listen) and she was introduced by her mentor, David Foster.. first she got a lil' bit pitchy, but after a while you'll see what i've been rambling about.. well enough said, here's the video..
don't judge her outfit, okay? i know, i know. but you just can't have everything.. let's kill her stylist, shall we?
now, now, tell me what do you think? after i heard her sing, i religiously search her other youtube videos eventho it's the same song over and over. her live performances video on youtube mostly showed her singing i will always love you, i have nothing, and i am telling you, and also listen.
well let me tell you a little background stories about her, she started to sing back when she was only four years old, because of her violence dad, Charice only live with her mom and her little brother.. she started to join singing contest to improved the quality of her family's life. and then a random guy/girl started to post her performances on youtube under the account name FalseVoice, after that it was like a fairy tale story for Charice.. Ellen DeGeneres saw her on youtube and then invited her to her show, so he landed in US for the very first time, she sang beautifully and mesmerized the audience. well she must be one of the luckiest people on earth, because after that, she's been invited to Paul O'grady show in UK, Oprah Winfrey show (oyeah, the one and only Oprah, incredible rite? Oprah even dedicated a whole episode just to tell the world a story about Charice's life) and many other shows.
the stepping stone for her must be when she was invited by Oprah, because after that Oprah introduced her to one of the most brilliant producer ever, David Foster. She's been flying up high ever since, she's been to the most amazing Hollywood gig with all the rich and famous (you could search these in youtube too you know, there's soo many of it). she also did a duet with many famous singers like Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion. she's also been introduced to Michael Buble, Mariah Carey, Josh Groban and many other big names, even Barrack Obama (she sing in his inauguration night). Up until now David Foster still mentoring her and take her all over the world to do a concert with him, he even produced her new album and her single is written by Diane Warren (again, how lucky she is to sing a song written by such famous songwriter), the single called A Note For God, i've seen it on youtube (again) and the song was emotional and beautiful, but i think the song didn't do her voice justice like listen. she launched her single recently in Oprah's show. wow, i'm beyond speechless.
anyway just so you know, i don't know Charice at all, and this is not a blog to promote her, LOL. i wrote this only because i like her so much, it makes me fell like writing about her. Philipinos must be crazily proud of her, too bad there's no one like her yet here in Indonesia. well like my friends always say "better luck next time" LOL.
oyeah, i forgot to mention this earlier, she was just sixteen years old then (now 17), amazing right? (well i don't really forget to mention it, i intended to do that for dramatic effect hehe).
wow, this blog is long! have fun youtube-ing her everyone!
kisses,
