Changes in Charice's look

she is trying to look racially ambigious, which means an appearance that is relatable to all races. her best way to succeed is to have more foreign fans that filipino fans. I hope no one will be offended with what I will say but some of her filipino faqns are the reason why she cant get mainstreamenough in the US despite of the exposures. They didnt know comments like "she is a filipino" "she makes me proud to be a filipino" and "filipinos are the best" alienates many foreigners to like her cos some Filipinos keeps on claiming her. we never heard Rihanna's fans from barbados spamming her videos with "she is from Barbados" "proud to be carribean" stuff. I actually think its a management marketing purpose to make her speak english here. so some filipino fans may try to distance from her and her management can market her to the western market. The "charice vs bianca ryan" video which is uploaded by filipino fans alienated many Americans already and we know that US is her target market.

I really don't like her new look. We can't do anything about it cause it is her choice but as a public figure, you can't really avoid criticism.

Never really cared about her looks and before never really cared about her singing but after I've heard of the song "louder" I liked it and the first time I heard it I thought an American artist is singing the song. Got a smile on my face when I found out that it was Charice who sang it. Anyway on her looks, well I still need more time to get used to her new looks because I wasn't able to recognized her at first. Again I don't care about the look though as long as she continuously shares or give us good music.

Change is the permanent thing in this world. She, indeed is not excuse for changes. That's the reality in life. Example, a Filipino want to change their skin complexion by applying whitening lotions, creams, etc. On the other hand, "whites" from other countries like to exposed themselves under the sun to get tan. As well as the other looks, most of us tried to imitate our idols by copying their hair style, the way they dress, etc. Another is that, she might feel that she is not that fame anymore especially here in the Philippines so she has to make some explosive changes to make her controvesial and become talk of the town.

I think it's fine for her to change her looks. I mean for a young girl to always have the same hair fashion would be a lot boring. I think its an expression that she just have to make changes or she'll get stuck with her young and naive looks. Charice is a big star and she needs to live up to being looked up on. Look at what her looks have done. People turned back their heads and was amazed or to some disgusted LOL! She's got to make news because for a while the Filipinos have not seen her around. It's just the look and packaging that has changed so I really don't mind. Just because she changed her looks doesn't mean that she is no longer a Filipina in her heart. She knows she is and will always stay a Filipino.

Many really did notice of Charice' new hair look not just here in the Philippines but also around the world. She really look different now. In facebook there is a picture of her and Mavericks being compared. They really look the same because of the style of the hair and its color.

Image is important for every new born star for popularity and commercialization purposes. An entertainer must embrace a whole new outlook to be in the competitive world of entertainment. Talent alone is not enough to mesmerize the world audience. Should she remain a plain jane she would be overshadowed by others who are more glamorous to keep up with their artists status.

I think she want to portray a different Charice, that is why she changes something in her looks. But I don't see her beautiful in that new looks I prefer the former Charice looks than to day. Because she really symbolize a Filipina girl...

About a few years ago Charice became a household name not only here in the Philippines but even in America. But after her joining Glee she just sort of started to fade away. Probably her looks now is a way of re-packaging herself to make her more noticeable globally and not just in the Philippines or in Asia. If that will help boost her international career then I guess her handlers are making a good decision.

In my own opinion Charice' look is the one hindrance why she didn't make it big in her own country before she was given a chance by Ellen Degeneres. Let's all accept the fact that she's not a looker. In a place where everyone is looking and expecting someone to have a Caucasian look for them to make it big in Showbiz. There was one time where she was interviewed by Boy Abunda and he said something about her being a "monay" or a bun, which is true to some degree. That's how harsh people can be with their critism until you prove them wrong. Charice overcome all those. In fairness, Charice looked different as you said, she looked like a more of a Korean , but I won't take it against her personally. Whether she's becoming more American by the way she speaks, or more Korean by the way she looks, that's her choice. Bottom line is those are not the things that made Charice what she is right now. What made her famous is her voice. She could change her looks but as long as she sing that way she does then she will always be Charice.

I really don't mind the way she look. That doesn't surprise me at all. She looks totally different I think and yeah she doesn't look like a Filipino anymore. She chose that, she loves that! If she's confident with the way she looks then she's ok.

If I were to give my two cents, i would agree on you that she looks like a Korean singer because of her new look. I guess the only thing that makes her a little different is her complexion in comparison to those lily-white Koreans that up to this moment, I have trouble deciphering one Korean star from another. sorry, but they seem to look the same to me. Of course, if she doesn't want my opinion, it's fine by me also. It's her right and her look should be equated with her artistry or talent. But she should have anticipated this since she was a product of the entertainment scene and she knows how brutal that can be. But I admire her for making a choice and sticking with it. It's her decision life to live and not mine.

I hope she remains the same. Hope every Filipino stars remains who they are just like Lea Salonga, proud to be a Filipina and never changed her looks.

Well, if she's happy with her look, then there's nothing wrong with it. I really don't mind how she looks like (she can even shave her head if she's happy with it). Main thing is this, as long as she does her job well, then it's fine. Thing is this, a lot of Filipinos kept claiming "She's a Filipina!" but it doesn't mean she can't have her own individuality. I think she doesn't need to explain anything. She can just simply reply "I just want to do it" and I'm quite sure it will create another set of gossip/criticisms/etc. There are a lot of Filipinos/Filipinas who follow other country's trends (Western, Korea, Japan, etc) and no one really minds. The only reason why Charice is kinda in the lime light's because she's well known.

i also prefer her old looks, with long hair that can easily be pulled up. i guess she could have dyed her hair with colors but not change all of them into blonde. I do not mind her changing looks and answering in english... if they were asking her in the same language... but i was surprised at how she reacted to the people. its like as if its me - take it or leave it. and so the rest is history... she was not able to fill araneta coliseum in her concert. What's up with that?! people cannot relate to her anymore, even her kababayans because it seemed to me that she is trying hard to be different when she is just like any other filipina... but she's got attitude now. I remember her declaration - "Im a person! Love me!" why have such demand! haha

i do not have any negative comments about her new look. as we all know, in showbiz, you always need to sell yourself. if she finds this new look as appealing to the companies who will sign her a record deal, then she can do anything she wants with her appearance. and besides, it is her voice that we find her excellent for.

hello friend, I think it's "to each her own" but if you are an artist or a star or somebody who is like public property , then maybe you should take public opinion into consideration

that is really what being a celebrity and pop star is all about,they don't stick to one look always, they are always subject to change in the way the present themselves, the way they dress, hairstyle, the whole image.

it is only the commen chang,everyone want to adapt the life and always show up the best sides of yourself. you slowly are used to see the life ,life is always chang,we do not know which direction it will chang.so i see the everythings by the commom attitude.

well, for me I don't like her new look. personally, i think she look great before with her long hair. But then again, it's not her hair or her image that made her famous. It's her beautiful voice that captured and touched our heart. She's still young and maybe it's just one of her phase. She's still exploring and experimenting. I am not a fan but I say let's give her a break..
