It was a moving moment of the evening when everyone stood up as CHARICE sings ‘God Bless America’ in a special tribute to the people of New York. This rendition was especially arranged by David Foster for a television broadcast that aired 9 days after that tragic event, and was originally sang by Celine Dion.
CHARICE SINGING ‘GOD BLESS AMERICA’
Charice is given a rousing standing ovation by the full house capacity crowd of 5,600. Many in the audience were moved to tears according to eyewitness reports, and David Foster himself appears stunned and emotional as he says, “Charice, that was spectacular. That is not an easy arrangement to sing, believe me, and you just hit it over the bar.”
OPENING SONG: POWER OF L O V E
Charice again is the highlight of the show as she performs as the last guest singer of the concert. David Foster introduces Charice as “the next one” and mentions that Oprah and her Executive Producer, Lisa Erspamer, are in the audience that night.

CHARICE SINGING ‘NOTE TO GOD’
As Charice introduces her second song with David Foster accompanying on the piano, David says “it’s a thrill for me to see this legacy continue and there is no doubt about where you are going… My career now rests in the hands of a 17-year old.” Charice says, “But you know what, I’m very proud that I’m a Foster child.”
BODYGUARD MEDLEY: I HAVE NOTHING & I WILL ALWAYS L O V E YOU
For Charice’s third number, David Foster mentions “Charice is making an album and it’s a spectacular album. It’s gonna be sensational. We’re not doing any music from that album, but this’ll probably be the last time that you’ll be singing my songs. But I sure appreciate you doing this because you bring such life to them.”

For those who have seen Charice perform live and want to see her again; For those who have not seen her live performance and would like to experience a magical and heavenly feeling when you see her perform live, make sure you are still alive when that opportunity comes. Get SWINE FLU VACCINE! Kmart started selling coffins! Don’t be one of those whose mom or dad will buy a coffin for. Rather, have them buy tickets from ticket master for Charice live performance.

No problems Carla. I saw that interview and asked yesterday. They said it´s an older interview so I thought it might have been posted here already. Usually the CM team is fast. Don´t ever get offended please. We don´t want to lose one of our best contributors.

Max.
I think you have to ban me for a week or two, because I can’t stop commenting about Charice’s, I mean DF’s concert at the WaMu Theater. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better Amazing CP posted on of Deborah Cox’ videos together with Charice and a little furry dog, she named Porsche.
I believe I gave her that dog that night and now it’s on video forever. Here’s the link. I think I’m on cloud 9, 10, and 11.
