Most Filipinos I know can sing very well, But none of them has a voice as big and a body frame as small as Charice Pempengco.  Apparently this 15-year old girl who found her stardom on youtube just taped a segment on Oprah’s show earlier this week. Charice also made an appearance on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show late last year and performed two songs. I saw this clip of her singing “And I Tell You I’m Not Going” and her voice simply blew me away. She has the voice of Whitney but the body of Britney (when Britney was 15 that is. She is probably thrice the size of Charice now). 

(more...)

Holy crap!! So small, so big a voice. When I first heard it, I was caught off-guard a lil haha.

Hey she’s really talented. I hope she makes it ^^

Filipino girls are starting to get recognized for their singing talents.  American Idol had Ramiele Malubay in the top 10 this season...she probably had one of the top 3 voices on the show this year; unfortunately she lacked some experience which held her back, but if she keeps at it, she’ll be awesome.

Does she have a record label yet?

I thought I read somewhere that she signed with an independent label, but I’m not sure which or where…

I don’t know if she has a label, but here’s her website: http://www.chariceonline.com/

holy crap. if she isn’t signed she should be

Listening to her sing, I’m stunned. That can’t be her voice, but it is. She’s going to be great.

onlee at 15 to. i hope she gets a record deal in da states!

One more year and she can be on American Idol. Watch her lose tho because she’s Asian.

yeah that’s what happened to ramielle mabuhay? she was so good too

Ramielle got voted off a few weeks ago. It’s sad cuz she was top 3 IMO =/

yeah entertainment thought she would at least make it to the final 3

this is the first time i’ve heard of her but wow! absolutely amazing. she could probably be bigger than britney or christina

If you could buy stock in singers, she could be the next Google…
