Charice. I've been hearing her name a lot lately. I recently saw a clip of her singing on Oprah and was blown away so had to do some research.
Charice Pempengco is a 17-year-old Filipina singer who was discovered due to her videos on youtube. She was invited into the American pop culture world by Ellen DeGeneres who saw her performance at a South Korean talent TV show on youtube and immediately invited her to be a guest and sing on her show.
Charice released her album on May 7th and is already in the iTunes top 100 with her song Pyramid featuring Iyaz. She has been compared to Whitney Huston and Mariah Carey. Her voice is powerful and a relief from the over auto-tuned sounds that we are so familiar with today.
Have you heard of Charice, Lovelies? What do you think of this 17-year-old singing sensation?
