good vidz of charice & josh. their voices compliments each other. Fantastic performance. Another s.o.! sBy the way I have a suggestion for the computer savvy CM team. Maybe you could create a vidz of all the ending of the song IWLY of the Bodyguard medly in some of the 10 city DFF tour. I noticed she made the ending varies in some of the places of concert. Just a suggestion. I wish I can do it but I don’t have that expertise.
Happy Holidays to all!

The “Voice” is the hardest musical instrument to take care of. Unlike other musical instruments, you can just change the strings or use different musical gadgets to make the instrument sound good. The quality of the voice changes depending on the physical and emotional stress the singer is going through. I believe this event was in NY…if that’s the case, she’s been weaving all 4 time zones in the US/Canada and of course, she would be tired. She’s not a robot. No matter how she tries her best to take care of her voice, her body cannot deny it…if she’s tired, she’s tired.

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.

That was a very good duet. We have to agree that they had a rehearsal before going on stage and i believe that that was how DF arranged the song. I also believe that Charice did her best to make sure that she does not outsing her partner otherwise it does not look good on her part anyways. She is labelled the smartest kid in Oprah so we should not worry about it. She knows what she can do and cannot do. Let’s just sit back, watch and relax…everything is cared for by David Foster and his crew.

My my Jessica,
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?

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???

We tend to forget that in her US/Canada live performances there is a Conductor/Director present. David Foster has overall control over the musical arrangement and live performance. In this case it was showcasing the Namedrop winner Josh Page.

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”.

I think the arrangement was done to suit both the singers style. remember that this is a duet and not meant to outdo the other singer. from what I see, Josh has a lil bit less power and it wouldn’t sound good if he struggled or if Charice tried to outsung him. although I believe it would be much different if she was having a duet with Andrea.

Did it ever occur to anyone that Charice may have gotten tired too? All that work and emotional stress after the concert, and pressure and worrying about how her album’s gonna fair out, what else has to be done and how she’s gonna do it, etc. Then the expectations of the fans, which cuts her very little slack. She’s just a teenager who should be worrying about sem.exams, who she’s gonna invite at the sadiehawkins dance or something, or what she’s gonna wear to the prom. Simple things like that should be her worries. C’mon guys, cut her some more slack. She deserves it, though admittedly, it would be better kept away from the public eye.

What a teaser when DF said that, “we’re gonna have a little fun now” I think, just to make us wait in anticipation just as he did in the second “Hitman” concert at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas last May 2009. I agree with Manang Babes also in her observation of Charice starting off “slightly mellow” and this just made me notice that the volumes of their microphones were at a very low setting. Probably to showcase the power of their voices as expected from opera singers.

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.
