Voice of America host Larry London saw Charice on The Oprah Show and says “he just had to have her” on his show. He welcomes Charice into the studio as “a true international star, a young lady who is known not only in Italy, the Netherlands, the Philippines, but she is quickly getting known here in the United States for her music, her voice, her beautiful smile…”
Charice doesn’t disappoint as she gives a superb interview and performance of “In This Song” which, if you didn’t see it yourself, would swear that it is the studio recording. But really, chasters, we aren’t surprised now are we?
She gives her all in the performance, not ten feet away from Larry, which prompts him to say:
Wow! Wow! I have goosebumps! I can´t believe it! I´m speechless! For the first time in my career. That was awesome! That was amazing! Amazing!!
… to be 18 and sing with such emotion, it’s amazing! … unbelievable

Excerpt:
“One of the things that makes you so special is that, not only your tremendous talent, but the fact that your background has brought you to superstardom and you are still grounded. You appreciate things. Because the Philippines is not one of the wealthiest countries, it’s a difficult place to grow up. As you mentioned earlier, people make a lot of sacrifices for their families. So to achieve the success that you have now and to see you still remain so humble and so grounded, is refreshing. It’s wonderful. You don’t see that often.”
Listen to audio here >>> complete 30-minute audio interview as Charice performs Pyramid, announces the DFF Tour in Asia (~ October 2010). And Larry London invites Charice to visit again, saying “we definitely want to have you on again.”
Be sure to listen after P.Y.T. (Michael Jackson’s Pretty Young Thing) as Larry gushes some more about Charice:
“truly, truly a gifted child, and what a pleasure to talk to… She sang live and, whew, sounds like a record they had to produce and work and do 20 takes with… but this is a youngster who, in one take, sounded like.. she’s as gifted as any pro out there… which is why obviously Celine Dion invited her on stage with her… WOW, great talent…
thank you Charice”

I have to admit, this was by far the BEST interview on my show all year. Charice is a refreshing addition to the sounds of today. I cant wait until she comes back on the show! Salamat Po to all the people who made her visit possible.

You are marvelous and I second Arvee’s remark that there is an incremental factor that makes this performance of the song your best, only to be topped by the next performance.
On the Koreans calling you “Pempengco,” they knew it was your family name. They call each other with the family name until there’s a level of intimacy that allows for the given name. Friends often use the two names interchangeably. The Japanese do the same.

this time though, I can even sense some incremental improvement in the solidity, mellowness and control of her voice.
and anyone who experiences a live performance will not only become a believer, but more importantly, an active supporter and promoter of her.

so far for Charice. She’s very spontaneous and have smart answers to Larry London’s questions. Love Charice mimicking Alvin and the chipmunks. Once she becomes more fluent in English and becomes more comfortable in interview session, she’ll be a total package performer
ready to take the world.

Noellen kindly don’t ban me, I just didn’t read the warning that’s why I kept on asking patricia if she’s INC for asking such irrelevant question like a crab. She didn’t reply so.

I still marvel at her all the way back to the MMK documentary of her life. I am convinced Charice can go as far as she wants to go.

Larry London did really a great job interviewing Charice. And of course, we already knew he was going to have goosebumps while listening to her. Love the smile on his face while watching her sing.

That is where she gets her strenght, power and ability. The rejection she encountered from our beloved country citizens.
Just watch her when she sing, she is on the different planet and she slowly comes down to earth with a cute smile after she sings.
Awesome !!!
