There are rumors that Charice Pempengco, a 16 year old filipino singer will sing in the inauguration of Barack Obama. Wow! Who could have thought an ordinary girl who was discovered in youtube could sing in the front of the newly elected president of the United States. I'm sure even Obama will be very surprise at how strong her voice could be. What can you say about Charice? I say goodluck to you and make your momma proud :-)

I wish the same, she's heaven's gift. When i saw her life's story I was stunned with her blessings. It only entails that talent isn't about being pretty. In the Philippines, people are so into beauty for an actress or actor. We tend to forget that talent can come anywhere from whoever....even with little face quality. I'm just happy for Charice though. One thing is Barack and Oprah are very good friends, I'm thinking Oprah endorsed Charice to sing in the inauguration and if it happens the inauguration will also be flocked with few new fans and supporters (Filipino people who are in the states). :-)

I've seen a few youtube videos featuring Charice and she has a wonderful voice. I saw one where she performed with Arnel Pineda, who is now the lead singer of the band "Journey" and who was also "discovered" on youtube. I'm sure youtube is responsible for launching many careers. I wish Charice good luck with hers. She is a talented young lady.

Indeed she is a very talented young woman. Arnel Pineda is one pride of the Philippines as well. Did you see any new videos in youtube for the two of them? I think I just see almost all clips of these two Pinoy pride! And I can't stop looking at them. I've been bragging them at my Japanese office mates and they were impressed. Do you know that Charice was featured in Japan when she was still 9 years old? That time when she won bulilit something and God knows the Japanese were so impressed they even quoted that The Philippines is really a haven of good talent! isn't that something to be proud of?
