Charice is competing with Whitney Houston, The Black Eyed Peas, Michael Buble. Journey, James Taylor and others for Best Show Musical Performance 2009 in the Oprah Winfrey show. Oprah nominated Charice on the strength of her performance of Note to God,which reached the top 10 and raced to the top 10 downloadable songs on iTunes and amazon.com after the song debuted on the show.
“Ipapa sa-Diyos ko na lang `to,” Charice replied when asked what her chances of winning the polls are. But she doesn’t hide the fact that she won’t mind topping the poll just the same.
“I do hope people nominate me,” she said.
Charice arrived from Los Angeles last Saturday to promote Sennheiser’s Charice International Limited Edition evolution 822 S microphone.
Grace Mendoza, who manages Charice’s career in the Philippines together with Charice’s mom Raquel said the representative from Sennheiser Asia (Singapore) and Audio Video Solutions Corp. (Philippine distributor of Sennheiser) went out of his way to look for their newest endorser since they really had Charice in mind for the said product.
Martin Low, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing, Sennheiser Electronic Asia says the company produced only `very limited quantities’ of the microphone, which they hope Filipino singers can identify with.
Thus, Charice joins the ranks of international celebrities like Celine Dion and Beyonce, whom Sennheiser has supported in their shows and other projects.
Thanks to her latest endorsement and her other projects, Charice was able to buy a house for her family in Tagaytay. The spacious house is a far cry from her humble home in San Pedro, Laguna.
Charice was also able to buy a vehicle which put a stop to her van-renting days of old.
The 17-year-old singer also invested part of her earnings in a Coogan account, a special bank account popular among celebrities who are not yet of legal age and thus cannot assume control over their money yet.
Charice can avail of the account next year, when she turns 18, but vows that “I won’t use all of it.”
Meantime, Charice says she knows how her friend Rhap Salazar is feeling, now that Ellen Degeneres invited the 12-year-old singing champion to perform in her TV show.
“I see myself in Rhap,” she explains. “My advice to him is that he will experience difficulties at the start . Intrigues will be there.”
Charice will release her new song, Pyramid on Jan. 1, 2010 and her new album in February.

here ya go M. McCormick http://www.charicemania.com/2009/08/04/featured/top-40-radio-stations-list-request-note-to-god/
They’re playing some of DA’s songs from his Christmas album on AOL Radio (the Pop Christmas station) listening to my office computer during the day. They’ve also been playing A Very Special Christmas songs too. I haven’t heard Charice’s songs yet, but I’m sure I will as the season progresses. Request the songs on the radio everyone!
I just finished voting on the Oprah poll… again. Go go go Charice!

Like most of you, I have been voting everyday as well. Let’s hope and pray that Charice wins. And I agree with Max, winning this will give another big boost to her career.
Holiday Season is here and since AVSC 7 is out, can we all start requesting for ” The Christmas Song ” on the radio? maybe even HYMLC (duet with DA). I tried emailing two stations here in NY but no success…..maybe if we all join force…….might help a bit. I would love to hear her voice on the radio.
Does anyone have the list of radio stations from where we can all request?

ArrVee…I hate to dampen and cast a shadow on your beautiful rainbow of “P”s but I am still waiting for another “P” that the ordinary Pinoys are also waiting to be proud of to finally complete the ‘p’uzzle and alleviate the plight of the Pinoys from poverty and suffering…..the (Filipino) “P”oliticians…to also show their “talents” as world class in governing the country.

Topgun, there’s also an equation for your 3rd “P” for “P”oliticians……..”P”oliticians + “P”hilippines = “P”overty

I guess we are dreaming regarding the P-politician….
Whatever the other P’s Charice, manny, Arnel, Efren and now wesly So do to elevate the image of our county, the politician will just drag it back to the mud. It is just so frustrating that the people who took all our country’s money, power and luxury still not contented , they still will destroy our image to the world. From the marcos to arroyo,and all in between. Our county keep on regressing. So for OFW’s keep on sending those dollars and euros. and hold on tight on those mops and wipes, it will be a long career.

Filipino Volunteerism/Talents recognized
There will be a replay of the “10 Heroes of the Year” award on Saturday and Sunday (11/28 & 11/29), on CNN, at 8:00 PM eastern time. Efren PenaFlorida, a Filipino, was chosen as CNN’s Hero of Year.
With people like Efren PenaFlorida, Charice, Manny Pacquiao, Arnel Pineda and the two Filipino members of the Black Eyed Peas, the Philippines is slowly being recognized by the whole world for our talents. We should be very proud of them.

To Mr. Low – Get ready to produce more of these Microphones. There are many singers and competitions in the Philippines and you better not run out of stock. I hope this move elevates you to “President”. Great strategy.
Come on all you other companies. More endorsements for Charice. Get in there while she’s still affordable. You won’t be sorry. When she takes off you want to be there from the start.

I have been voting at least once a day, and I encourage you to do the same on a regular basis. Since we do not know how the vote is going, we are working here on blind faith, but I think it can be done. To win this poll would undoubtedly give Charice’s career another big boost, and the timimng is perfect because her album’s release will follow soon after the winners are announced.
