PEP Exclusive: Charice Pempengco Plays Rival Singer to Chipmunks

PEP Exclusive: Charice Pempengco Plays Rival Singer to Chipmunks

Now available: An English translation has been added. Halos katatapos lang niyang pahangain ang mga Italyano sa pag-guest niya sa singing contest na Ti Lascio Una Canzone (click here to watch video) sa Sanremo. Italy, heto’t Stateside na naman si Charice Pempengco (o mas kilala bilang Charice sa U.S.).

Sa kanyang pagbabalik sa Tate, pinahanga niyang muli ang mga Amerikano nang kantahin niya ang U.S. National Anthem na “Star Spangled Banner” sa Dodger Stadium sa L.A., California, para sa opening ng  Dodgers vs. (San Francisco) Giants game noong April 13, Lunes (click here to watch video).

Through her YouTube account’s email feature, kinumusta ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang 16-year-old singing sensation.

PEP: The Italians loved you in Ti Lascio Una Canzone, so pagkatapos ng appearance mo doon, dumiretso ka kaagad sa U.S.?

CHARICE: “No. After po ng Italian guesting ko, umuwi po ako ng Pinas. Spent Holy Week sa Tagaytay po. And then after that, pumunta na po ako dito sa States for the Dodger’s game.”

PEP: Did they contact you, o yung manager mo ang nag-book sa iyo doon? Who is your manager, by the way?

CHARICE: “Someone saw me on Oprah and then they emailed my manager, Marc Johnston. They invited me to sing the American National Anthem.”

PEP: Sinu-sino pa ang mina-manage ni Marc Johnston?

CHARICE: “Me, Andrea Bocelli and David Foster. We have the same manager…”

PEP: Kumusta nga pala ang Chipmunks movie mo? What is your role nga pala doon?

CHARICE: “Okey naman po ang movie. It’s not really a big role. It’s gonna be shown on December 25, 2009, sa States, and January 2010 sa Philippines po. My role? I’m gonna play as myself. As Charice, rival singer po ng Chipmunks. He-he-he!”

PEP: So, ano pa ang dapat abangan ng mga fans mo mula sa iyo?

CHARICE: “I’m continuing my recording and working with David Foster right now for my debut album here in the States. And siyempre, abangan pa po nila ang mga next gigs ko po…”

She just left the Italians in awe with her guesting in a singing competition named Ti Lascio Una Canzone in Sanremo, Italy, and here again is Charice Pempengco (better known as Charice in the US), wowing the Americans with her rendition of the US National Anthem, “Star Spangled Banner”, when she sang it at the Dodger Stadium in L.A., California, for the opening of the Dodgers vs. (San Francisco) Giants game last April 13, Monday.

Through her YouTube account’s email feature, the PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) congratulated the 16-year-old singing sensation.

PEP: The Italians loved you in Ti Lascio Una Canzone. Did you go straight to the US after Italy?

CHARICE: “No. After my Italian guesting, I went back to the Philippines. Spent Holy Week in Tagaytay. And then after that, i proceeded here (US)for the Dodger’s game.”

PEP: Did they contact you, or did your manager book you for that? Who is your manager, by the way?

CHARICE: ”Someone saw me on Oprah and then they emailed my manager, Marc Johnston. They invited me to sing the American National Anthem.”

PEP: Who else does Marc Johnston manage?

CHARICE: “Me, Andrea Bocelli and David Foster. We have the same manager…”

PEP: How was your Chipmunks movie by the way? What was your role again?

CHARICE: “The movie is okay. It’s not really a big role. It’s gonna be shown on December 25, 2009 here in the States, and January 2010 in the Philippines. My role? I’m gonna play as myself. As Charice, rival singer of the Chipmunks. He-he-he!”

PEP: So, what should your fans expect from you in the near future?

CHARICE: “I’m continuing my recording and working with David Foster right now for my debut album here in the States. And of course, look out for my next gigs.”

    I really like “Always You”. Charice’s ballads have always been my favorite type of music from her anyway. Of course, I have a few more years under my belt than most. What I also like is the full orchestra accompaniment. I just think its a beautiful song.

    I’m like 18wheeleredy about the videos. I much prefer a dvd over a cd, but its not likely to happen unless Charice puts out another music video or tapes her upcoming Araneta concert, and I REALLY hope she does tape it.

    Wait a minute, there is not a song by our princess that I do not like!

    Cheers

    I agree with 18wheeleredy. Charice’s new single is good but it does not have the same effect on me as much as the other cover songs. Charice sang it very well though. I just think that the composition itself (words and melody)are not that good.

    i much preffered watchin’ and listenin’ Charice at the
    same time though, I’m hoping she does a lot
    of DVD versions for it’s the closest to live performance.

    “Always You” sounds good but for some reason, my mood
    is different like somethin’ is missing. my adrenaline is not pumpin’ at all…
    my heartbeat is heck a slow.
    but i still feel some goosebumps though.

    I guess i’m just so used watching her on youtube
    and CM videos. I also uploaded quite a few of her
    youtube perfomances in my laptop. so if i cant get online
    theres my laptop.

    but it wont stop me supporting Charice though…
    Please have all her originals with CD/DVD combo…pack
    no not please…DO IT………..DANG !!!

    Tyramaid’s comment #10 contains the lyrics of the song “Always You”. This IS an original that will be on Charice’s new Philippine album. All I will say is that the album will be another “Home Run” for Charice based on this song.

    I don’t know if any copyright laws have been violated, but I don’t see any problem publicizing the lyrics. GM would probably have to make that call.

    I am pleased that it has been pulled off public viewing on You Tube. It would not be right to release it without her permission.

    Many thanks, Tyramaid, for the English translation. I appreciate it.

    I think this is an original… The one by Frank Sinatra is entitled “It’s Always You” and not Always You…

    An attemp of translating the interview to English:

    PEP: The Italians loved you in Ti Lascio Una Canzone, so after that guesting you went straight to the US?
    CHARICE: “No. After that performance I went back to the Philippines for the Holy Week, which I spent in Tagaytay. Then after that I traveled down here in the states for the Dodger’s game.”
    PEP: Did they contact you, or is it your management in the US who booked you for that guest appearance? Who is your manager, by the way?
    CHARICE: ”Someone saw me on Oprah and then they emailed my manager, Marc Johnston. They invited me to sing the American National Anthem.”
    PEP: Who else this Marc Johnston is managing?
    CHARICE: “Me, Andrea Bocelli and David Foster. We have the same manager…”
    PEP: By the way, how about that Chipmunks movie of yours, what is your role there?
    CHARICE: “With regards to that movie, I played a small role.It’s gonna be shown on December 25, 2009, in States, and January 2010 in the Philippines. My role? I’m gonna play as myself, as Charice and I’m competing in a singing contest against the Chipmunks. He-he-he!”
    PEP: So, what are you up to now, and what else can your fans expect from you?
    CHARICE: “I’m continuing my recording and working with David Foster right now for my debut album here in the States. And of course, watchout for my upcoming gigs…”

    Well I googled “Always You” nothing came up with the same lyrics….a couple of artists have the same title of the song but with different lyrics, maybe I just didn’t look hard enough.

    Niintidihan natin ang ginawang ilabas ang original song na Always You, kasi gigil na tayong marinig, pero dapat maging patience tayo
    di dapat ilabas ito, tayong mga fans nya na walang disiplina ang mag papabagsak ng career ni Charice’
    di mo ba naiisip na “anay” tayong sisira sa kapwa natin na may simpleng pangarap. di ba tayo makapaghintay? umiiral ang ugaling sinong makauna syang sikat” mapansin lang.. pwede maghintay tayo sa album na mailabas…

    This is in response to comment #2 by hpj.

    The video has been pulled by the user who uploaded it and rightfully so. The album has not been released yet and would have hurt Charice.

    But I will say this about the song – OMG. We REALLY have something to look forward to. It’s a beautiful ballad with full orchestra backing, and Charice just NAILS it to the wall.

    I was fortunate enough to listen to it a few times. Now I’ll go nuts trying to remember it tomorrow. Man, I mean it will bring tears and goosebumps big time…can’t wait for the full album. Now that the secret is out maybe ABS-CBN will at least give us a teaser.

    Regarding this article, English translation please, please, please.

    There’s a new song entitled “Always You” being sung by Charice that’s just been added recently in Youtube; to be included in her 2nd album with Star Records (ABS-CBN)supposedly. i don’t know if it is prudent that it be shown in youtube at this time, i.e., before the album’s out. but here’s the link just in case you guys got curious

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYU3b56PbD4&feature=channel_page

    It sounds like a winner. a BIG one. the title of the video clip is “always you (Original Song) – charice pempengco”
