Today is one of the few days that am off from work. So this morning am watching tv and tuned to Oprah's show held in Chicago for the homecoming celebration for the US Olympic teams, when the teaser for tomorrow's show was flashed. Our very own Pinoy pride, Charise Pempengco will be the featured guest at Ophrah's show tomorrow titled "Dream Come True". Am sure Ill get goose bumps again watching Charise perform. Stay tuned for a great show with Charise.
just got the chance to browse through charice's videos from youtube. grabe, big time musicians na pala mga nakasama nya. hope she continues to shine in the international scene. she could be another lea salonga (another TJIF favourite) in the making. sana our kababayans will notice the extraordinary talent that this girl has and make her big as well in her [our] own country. she's the epitome of 'small but terrible' pinoy
btw, david foster rocks! those from my generation can relate, am sure - remember st. elmo's fire, 'the best of me'?
My hubby and I watched oprah and boy....it was awsome! You can feel the pride of being a Filipino because of her! Her place where she grew up was featured and her present house that she built....and I was so surprised she could draw too! She is really talented. Oprah said, " she will do everything to help her"....and knowing Oprah, she will do it! David Foster said when Charisse appeared in Las Vegas...." a star was born"! She is and I know with these proper connections, she will go far!
Ito ang mga sinabi ni Celine bago niya tinawag si Charice para umakyat sa stage:
"They actually told me about an incredible young singer that she [Oprah Winfrey] discovered awhile back. You know, if you watch Oprah last week, you know all about her. This young lady's name is Charice. I'm so excited. She's 16 years old and she's from the Philippines.
"Let me tell you, she has a voice that can literally blow the roof of Madison Square Garden and she just might. But the real story is how Charice and her mom escape the terrifying experience and had to leave Charice's violent father.
"You know, to start a life of their own. Charice vowed to save her mom from life of desperation and despair. You know, through prayers and dreams and God-given talent, an incredible voice, Charice entered every singing contest in her native country and eventually noticed by such influential people.
"You know, a show in Oprah and Oprah wanted to take her and took her under her wings. Then, the David Foster joined her. I had the chance to see Charice perform one of my songs on Oprah last week. I have a little bit of difficulty to talk right now because I met Charice, and I'm so emotional... So I'm searching and looking for my words...trying to control my emotion.
"I invited her to come here tonight to sing with me. Where are you sweetheart? There she is, come down, Sweetie."
---
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Charice. [To Charice] You look spectacular! Are you shaking? Are you okay? Don't be nervous and, I think, a lot of people, they understand that you are nervous.
"I'm gonna tell you one thing, the talent we're not gonna talk about, because you have. The strength, we're not gonna talk about because you have, and so the love. And I have to tell you, the family, we'll gonna talk because you have to.
"One time, my manager, my husband [Rene Angelil], told me, ‘Celine...' Because when I started to sing, I was 12 years old, so 12 and 16, it's the same, okay? He told me, ‘Celine, I know you're nervous, don't be scared. You love to sing. When you go up there, you'll be nervous. Don't be.'
"I will give you an image that you can think about. Think that all the people you see in front of you are your brothers and sisters. You're singing in your living room and these are your family. They can't can't wait to hear you sing. I think I know you want to dedicate this song to your mother. So we're gonna sing ‘Because You Loved Me' for your mother."

Pinabayaan ni Celine na mag-shine si Charice at nagsilbi na lamang siyang back-up singer sa mga high notes ng song....Thanks Celine, for giving this moment to Charice!
Man, 'got goose bumps. dream come true talaga ito para kay Charice. God bless this child.
Thanks for posting the video, Ms. Chenez. Oprah said that they will air this portion of Celine's show with Charice sa Oprah show a week after. Pero naunahan mo na si Mama Oprah. Thanks again hija.
walang anuman po ate G2......pinalitan ko yung video kasi mas maganda ang audio nito ngayon, mukhang hi-tech yung ginamit na camera....when i watched it, lalo pa akong nagka goose bumps eh....
