Charice Lists Her 10 Favorite Songs

Filipino singer Charice is this week’s guest blogger for AOL Radio, sharing her 10 favorite songs. Generating popularity through YouTube with her performance of the David Foster-arranged ‘Bodyguard Medley,’ Charice has since been on ‘Oprah,’ ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ and even performed with Celine Dion as part of Dion’s Taking Chances Tour. Now the singer is getting her feet wet tackling R&B original tracks, specifically ‘Pyramid’ featuring Virgin Isles singer Iyaz. Featuring Lady GaGa, Beyonce, Lara Fabian and more, here are Charice’s favorite songs.

10. Miley Cyrus: ‘The Climb’
This is such an inspirational song for me, especially the first verse of the song. Oh my gosh.. I don’t wanna cry, but that really happened to me.

9. Lady GaGa: ‘Just Dance’
I’m super big fan of Lady Gaga. I’m actually one of her Little Monsters. Haha :) I love all her songs, but this one’s the bomb! I’ve actually sung this song at some of my shows!

8. Lara Fabian: ‘Adagio’
This is actually an Italian song. Adagio means “slowly.” :) If you look for the English version of this, you’re going to love it more. This song is a heartbreaking one. I love listening to this when I’m sad. LOL. :)

7. Justin Bieber: ‘Baby’
Now, this is what I’m talking about! All the girls out there, say JUSSSTTIIINN!!! Haha. I love his songs; they’re so catchy. I love dancing to this. :)

6. Beyonce: ‘If I Were a Boy’
I love the way she sang this song, especially at the Grammys. It’s so powerful. Although I’m not yet experienced, I can feel every lyric, and I can feel for y’all girls out there. Lol.

5. Whitney Houston: ‘I Have Nothing/ I Will Always Love You’
David Foster arranged the ‘Bodyguard Medley’ for me. These songs are the reason I got discovered on YouTube. :) I sang this when I was 12 at a competition in the Philippines. I lost, but that’s fine. The past is Past. :)

4. Charice: ‘Note to God’
This is actually my song, but originally sung by Jojo. I LOVE THIS SONG. It feels like I’m talking to God when I’m singing this song.

3. Charice: ‘Pyramid’
I gotta say this is one of my favorites. First, this is my first pop/R&B song. You know me for singing songs by Whitney, Celine, or Mariah, but now I have new music. That’s why this is my fave even though it’s my song. :) I LOVE IYAZ AS WELL!

2. Beyonce: ‘Halo’
This is a hard song to sing. I’m so inspired by it, and I always cry when I’m listening to it on my iPod.

1. Helen Reddy: ‘You and Me Against the World’
This is the theme song for me, my mom and brother. The lyrics explain it all. :)

    this list gives us some context as to what she is feeling when she sings these songs, and for those she considers difficult, how much she is giving of herself (she just makes it look easy).

    and her #1 song is not for show, but must be a family anthem.

    Great Fav list by Charice. You did great as this week’s guest blogger for AOL Radio. Your interview on AMP radio was so natural, just loved it. http://www.charicemania.com/2010/03/12/featured-artist/booker-interviews-charice-at-amp-studios

    You are such a pleasure to interview, I’m sure you will have more requests for guesting than there is time. Just keep being yourself – the World loves you, for you!

    If they were to make a studio album on her favorite list, I would purchase several copies in a heartbeat. However, Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” is too risque and doesn’t fit her angelic image. To make a zillion hits in YT is not worth it if you need to show too much skin and crude displays. This could backfire and turn off the younger generation as well as the older folks who love her ballads. DF is doing a delicate balance in attracting the general audience and I feel he would do Charice right in presenting her as wholesome character.

      I haven’t written on CM for ages, just lurking here and there hehe and I thought I’d add my comment in. Charice is quite angelic, true, but she is also complex (not your average person) and very intelligent. Her complexity and ‘above-averageness’ comes through from her likes – nice ballads to risque music, from loving Alvin & the Chipmunks to Chucky and horror movies, from singing/performing and playing musical instruments to playing with technical gadgets etc.

      Like her vocal range, I am sure her emotions and passions run the whole range as well. This, and her talents, personality and character is what makes her such an interesting, captivating, fascinating and dynamic person.

      I love reading/watching/listening to her interviews and getting insights into her character. I’ve never been fascinated by any other person (aside from the obvious non living ones LOL!) until Charice came along. I can see a lot of myself in her and definitely feel where that funniness, cockiness, dynamism and childlike-ness comes from!

      All I can say is… she is one helluva special person. Go girl go Charice to the top baby yeaaaahh!! :)

  8. charice should sing a world-peace themed song like “from a distance” by bette midler or “gising na kaibigan” by asin. the latter is my life’s theme song with my family.

    I love the Justin bieber part in we are the world song for haiti.

    Hey..! Charice should also have a collaboration single with Justin Bieber in the future.

    They’re a nice pair.! They are both discover thru Youtube..

    That will gonna be a huge hit.

    The said part is that. Charice is first discovered than Justin. But, Justin firt make his name in the Hollywood music scene..!

    Why is that??????

    Charice is more talented..

    • because he is white, not brown/yellow, and is therefore more “marketable” to a largely white/black (US) audience.
