Charice Pempengco!

http://www.charicepempengco.com/ I am a person who loves music. Awhile ago I watched a show on Oprah and usually I don't watch Oprah as much as I used to but this particular show was about young gifted and talented children. I love watching the talents of children and how inspiring it is that a 2 year old knows every Country in the World by pointing on a map or that a 4 year old can play the piano and so on. This show was a re-run of Oprah and she had a young girl who at the time was 15 years old and was discovered on You Tube. She was going to sing a Whitney Houston song. I was thinking good Lord I hope she can sing because it's a pet peeve of mine when a singer who thinks they have a voice butches a song from a singer like Whitney Houston. Charice grew up in the Philippines and now she was on Oprah ready to blow the world away. The moment she opened her mouth and started singing I knew this girl was going to go far in life with that powerful voice. I was speechless and on top of it crying with tears rolling down my face watching her perform. I couldn't believe this tiny young girl could sing like this. She was also on Ellen back in December 2007 which I watched the You Tube video of her performance. I just have to say..Wow with all her performances. I haven't been this inspired by a talented singer like this in along time. Yes, there are great singers but she in my opinion is at the top with singers like Celine Dion, Marah Carey, Whitney Houston and all the great Singing Diva's like Diana Ross and Aretha Franklin. Her voice is so powerful and every time I listen to her sing I cry like a blubbering idiot. The tears just flow and the emotions are of pure happiness. She's going to go places in her career and with someone like David Foster backing her up we will see a lot of her in the future. If you don't know who David Foster is go google him and then you will understand why I know she will go far in her career. Here is a link to Oprah's website where Charice was invited to sing with Celine Dion at Madison Square Gardens back in September 2008. http://www.oprah.com/media/20080919_tows_charice Geez, I can't stop crying when I hear her sing. This young girl inspires me and I feel it's important to give her a shout out and help promote her talent. She is an amazing young girl and her life story was hard yet she didn't give up on her dreams to be a famous singer. With dedication and hard work she is achieving her dreams one day at a time. On her website she has a video about her life. She is just beautiful and inspiring. I am blessed she wants to share her life story and her talent to the masses and I'm glad and thankful she lets me enjoy her voice. Go check her out and you will be surprised. You may not cry like a blubbering idiot like myself but she will just blow you away with her voice. I will be watching her career. Take care..peace!
