if you haven't seen Charise's latest guesting on Oprah show then you're missing a lot baby. "World's Most Talented Girl" the Sept. 9th Oprah show is one full hour episode on Charice, highlighting her life from a small town girl competing in singing/talent shows to becoming an international singing sensation. and who doesn't watch Oprah in America? come on!
as a Filipino, i am just as proud as everyone is on what she has accomplished so far. Filipinos really possess world-class talents, di lang tayo nabibigyan ng break especially on Hollywood where being good enough won't entitle you a ticket in. kelangan you have to be damn good amazing. sensational to say the least. just listen to how Oprah was blown away by this little girl's talent. no other than legendary David Foster was tapped to develop and bring out the best in her.
the first time i saw this episode (the day after it was shown on tv) i literally had goosebumps all over. her voice, the emotion on her singing voice is soul-stirring. i was even teary-eyed when she sang Celine Dion's most famous hit. i'll let you watch yourself and see what i mean. here are some of the highlights. click "watch in high quality" para mas malinaw talaga.
part 1
Oprah - "nothing is more fun for me than helping to make somebody's dream come true especially when this somebody is a gifted young person who really really really wants it and really really really deserves it.."
- "..a girl with an incredible sets of pipes."
Michael Buble - "no matter how good i am you kicked my butt.."
part 2
who among our Filipino singers has had duets with world-class singers like Andrea Bocelli or was even invited personally?
Charise - "..we left my dad and after that i never saw him and i don't wanna see him. i'm just singing now for my mom.."
part 3
David Foster - "it's the extraordinary gift and she seems to really get how to take care of it, preserve it and cherish it, which is really the important thing.."
part 4
if you won't be moved by this performance, go get a heart-checkup!
part 5
no other than Celine Dion!
well, dreams do come true. if you noticed she goes by just her firstname nowadays. i heard that's because her dad was mad at how he was portrayed in her daughter's life in all the shows she'd guested in. eh kasalanan naman talaga ng erpats niya. good thing for Charise she didn't give up easily or else she might not have been living these days to see her dreams coming to realization. way to go! Filipinos swell with pride i assure you that :) keep it up!
