Last Saturday, November 14, Charice performed in New York for the Black Tie Gala 37th Annual Promise Ball to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. JDRF International is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 (juvenile) diabetes research worldwide. Their mission is to find a cure for diabetes through the support of research. The Annual Promise Ball is JDRF’s largest fundraising gala (with a goal to raise over $2 million for critical diabetes research), and one of New York’s most prestigious black tie events. Over 650 corporate, social and entertainment leaders attended the evening of live entertainment, music, and dancing.
David Foster made the introductions as Charice performed ‘The Prayer’ with namedrop winner, Josh Page.

With your help, we are moving research from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside, translating scientific advances into longer, healthier lives for those with diabetes. With your help, we are moving closer to our goal … a cure for diabetes and its complications.

I heard the part where she missed a note, but I didn’t mind it at all. She still sounded very good, and in my opinion, I liked her rendition better in this duet. Listen to Mariah Carey now. I used to be a big fan of hers. Her voice now never sounds the same as it used to be. That’s why, not all singers sound “the same” all the time. Charice’s voice will mature as years pass, and it’s great that she started young because her voice will even sound better. Her voice right now is PHENOMENAL…how much more 3-5 years from now when she’s a full grown adult? I just hate it when some people are just sitting and waiting for someone to “fall”…it’s so upsetting. After watching all 10 of her DF tour videos, she sounded very, very good and did a very good job maintaining her voice despite the fact that they’re on the road practically the whole time.

True to form, Charice picked up and didn’t disappoint the audience. This is probably the first time this audience has seen Charice perform. I just wish there were more clips of the rest of the presentation so we know how it turned out. I suppose aside from serving as a promotional activity for Charice, to get her known to a broader audience, these “charity events” is a perfect way of letting Charice earn a living while she waits for the launching of her album.
I think this is a very kind, thoughtful and considerate gesture of David Foster to include Charice in these activities and shows how he takes care of his prodigies. It may not be much (as much as she would be earning when she hits the peak of her stardom) but I’m sure what she earns in these “charity events” is more than ten fold of what Charice would be earning in the Philippines enslaving herself to the whims of those at ASAP and what have you at ABS-CBN. I hope Charice considers this aspect too in making decisions in her career.
I’m also very curious as to what Ms.Oprah Winfrey has up her sleeve, now that she’s got Jan 2011 marked as “Good Bye Day” to The Oprah Winfrey Show? I hope that Charice’s relationship with Oprah has not changed as in deteriorated, but has grown. And with the help of Lisa who has been keeping a very watchful eye on Charice ever since, I hope this is the case. This slack time until the launching of Charice’s Album could use some help and advise from Ms.O.
Just a thought – I believe the “chasters” should grow outside the Filipino community, very quickly and exponentially to be able to ensure the right sales numbers that would place Charice on the top with this coming album of hers. I think this is what DF is looking for and the very reason why the release is being delayed. For the kind of figures expected in this “major league” of the recording, music and entertainment industry, Charice will need more than ten times the existing chaster population. Isn’t it scary to think about when you think in those terms? I guess that’s Marc Johnston’s problem. Sleep well Marc. I’m praying for you. LOL.

Don’t you know how to subtly convince your patients how to drink their medicine and take that bitter pill or that painful and dreaded “injection”? I believe you touched something sensitive here, like a reality the chasters shall have to face sooner or later in this journey of Charice. Just a little piece of loving advice dear sister. (Notice you’re getting thumbs down already, meaning you are either misunderstood or some people actually don’t like what you are saying.) Maybe it’s the way you are saying it. Be less blunt maybe?

Charice can sing operatic with Andrea Bocelli or popstyle with Christian Bautista. She is so versatile that she can make anyone she sings with sound good. Her job was to bring out the best from Josh Page. As Adrea Bocelli said, “mission accomplished”.

That was NOT a mediocre performance. That was a very refined exceptional performance complementing Josh Page’s voice.
Didn’t it occur to you that maybe David Foster asked her to ‘tone’ it down so people can focus more on Josh???

Yes, David said at the end,” we want to have fun now,” and Charice was still on the stage. Maybe she sang I Will Survive.
This video was posted by Josh Page himself if I am not mistaken. I doubt that there will be more videos of Charice’s performance of this event unless it would come from Charice side herself.

December: 3 singles already out & an appearance in a Hollywood movie.
January: another anticipated hit single entitled “Pyramid” featuring veteran reggae fusion hitman Sean Kingston.
February/March: the highly anticipated debut album of the one & only, CHARICE. Not Charice Pempengco, but C-H-A-R-I-C-E.
Nothing’s gonna stop her now. Keep it up kid. We’re all proud of you.

Josh Page looks like Charice’s duet partner form Tia Lascio Canzones in Italy. He’s really quite good.
Anyone noticed their height? Just saying, lol …..

Hope she gets to appear on a major telecast that reaches millions and millions of viewers (Major music award shows, prime time guest shots like Dancing With the Stars, Amierican Idol, Britains Got Talent, etc..). It’s time for the world to see her – to take the game to the next level.

oops, forgot to press ‘Update Post’ when I added the uploader’s name last night. Now corrected, none other than Josh Page himself. Thank you, Josh, you’re a great singer!

Since I have Diabetes Type 2 myself, I can relate very well to this charity. One out of seven AAmericans over 50 will contract this disease and many will not know it. For your eyes, kidneys, and Heart’s sake, be tested annually. It is a painless and simple test.
