Billboard’s Singles Reviews: Pyramid by Charice Feat. Iyaz

Billboard’s Singles Reviews: Pyramid by Charice Feat. Iyaz

TWO VIDEOS ADDED.

The May 22, 2010, issue of Billboard The Magazine, Singles Reviews, will include a review of Pyramid by Charice featuring Iyaz.

Charice has long counted Oprah Winfrey as one of her biggest fans, but the 18-year-old captured a global audience in 2009 with her easy-listening ballad “Note to God.” On “Pyramid,” Charice—with help from Iyaz—delivers a radio-friendly number about defying the odds while displaying the kind of vocal range that other budding pop stars simply don’t have.

Written by a large group of mostly young songwriters, “Pyramid” ultimately sounds believable because of Charice’s conviction in her delivery. “Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock/ It feels just like it’s heaven’s touch/ Together at the top, like a pyramid,” she sings. An already high-charting dance mix loops Charice’s “oh, oh, oh” runs to crank up the energy even further. Like any strong pop song, expect this one to scale multiple charts.

    Joy Co,

    Sometimes good comments go to our spam box because something in the comment triggered our spam filter. You wrote nothing inappropriate in the comment I just released from spam. It was your comment in the Marc Johnston Fan Talk Radio post that I just released. I’m not sure if it is the one that disappeared on you, but it is one of them.

    When a comment you posted does not appear, please give the CM team time to find it and release it. The spam box is not monitored 24 X 7, but the team checks it frequently. Thank you and we always enjoy your comments and dedication to Charice.

      Thank you for this message. There were probably about a dozen comments that got lost. It started during the system upgrade, which made me think it was a natural thing to happen and waited patiently until everything is back to normal. But just the opposite happened, lol. I appreciate this communication and I will definitely let CM team know if it happens again. Much Love to you guys.

      Thanks for sharing ju;i. This is a great write-up. I know there are many Pinoy-Pinays who still do not believe in Charice. These are the type of people who don’t see diamonds in the rough and have no patience following someone’s journey to stardom. They would rather just wait and see if you get to the top at all, and if you do they’ll say OK you made it I’ll go and buy your CD. Honestly, I have a lot of them at work. I keep telling them about Charice, they act like they did not hear me. They won’t say anything negative, no reaction, like nothing happened, then they change topic. Well, I have not given up on this girl. She’s my best buddy-buddy and we have great time together at work. I’d say she is a work in progress. As promised, I will buy another copy of CHARICE at Walmart (it counts until Sunday). This will be my belated happy mother’s day gift to her (a young mother she is). So, Chasters, please wish me luck. I am determined to convert this girl, ha ha ha ….

        @JoyCo – for all you know, these people you refer to as indifferent to Charice are closet Charice addicts, and are currently lurking in this site … :-)

    This is the kind of writeup I expect for her album as well. The more you listen to it the more and more the songs will grab you and hopefully leave you wanting for more from Charice.

    Somewhere down the road I would love a cover album of her favorite songs. I know, I know she’s no longer a cover singer but she brings them alive and in many cases you read comments like “I didn’t like this song until I heard you sing it” – so why not.

    Just can’t get enough of her.

    Accurate and positive review. Proof of this song’s popularity is the many covers now posted on YT most by fans because they really like the song. It is a difficult song to cover, I have yet to see the singers cover it. lol none of them that I know of tried it yet – perhaps too hard for them?
