This will be Charice’s second performance in Singapore, following her critically-acclaimed performance at the Singapore Idol final last December, where she stunned the entire nation with her powerful vocals and showmanship.
Tickets for FAITH The Concert are priced at $98, $78 and $58 (excluding $3 SISTIC fee) and are on sale now. All OCBC Credit and Debit cardmembers will receive a 15% discount off ticket prices till 30th June.
This will be Sonicflood’s and Point Of Grace’s maiden performances here, as well as Corrinne May’s first public performance in Singapore since 2007. The concert promises to be a fun and uplifting event, where everyone will enjoy a different side of Christian pop music.
The concert is organised by Warner Music Singapore, which also released the best-selling series of FAITH CD albums since 2008.
Simon Nasser, marketing director of Warner Music Singapore, says: “The FAITH CD series is about spreading the legacy of faith through songs, and it has always been a dream to elevate this into a live concert where everyone can experience together along with their favourite artists. A true testimony that dreams do come true when you have faith.”
As for the addition of Charice to the lineup, Mr. Nasser could not be any less excited about it:
“Charice is the only Asian artist who has a Top 10 album in Billboard’s history and she will be making a special visit to Singapore to be a part of this concert. The 18-year-old vocal powerhouse is just living example of a success story arising from humble beginnings.”

I believe Charice is just right for this “Faith” concert. I agree that she doesn’t have to be projected as specifically Filipino, but proudly Asian. This would open her affiliation with a broader and larger regional group, hopefully making the non-filipino community more comfortable, friendlier and facilitate her ability to connect with them.
I also believe Charice is right for the “Faith” concert because she is a perfect testimony to the very mission and message of the organization and specific concert. I do not think her being associated with the Christian faith would alienate her from the other groups of a different belief or religion. Charice’s life testimony and First international single, “Note to God” does not limit or box her in the confines of a specific religion or belief, but relates commonly to the highest values and morals of all the major faiths, beliefs and religions which recognize humanity as being subject to a Supreme Being referred to in English as, “GOD”. These include but not necessarily limited to Muslims, Jews and all the Christians, Catholic and Protestant. A very phenomenal symbiosis of all these main faiths, which is one of Charice’s spectacular characteristics that makes her belong to the world and reach out to not just one nation, race, creed, generation and gender. She has broken all those boundaries for the benefit of the majority. This whole planet has good reason to be thankful for her.

@THOUGHTANDPRAYER,
Charice don’t have to introduce herself as being from Asia. One look at her and people will already recognize her as being an Asian. The mystery about her will now lie on where in Asia she is from. Let them look her up. Let them be intrigued about this beautiful and talented Asian girl. Let these people be curious about her. Let other Asians be proud of their fellow Asian. This will bring up awareness that is going to benefit her.
We already know practically everything we need to know about her. We did our research on her. We watched her on You tube countless times. She doesn’t even have to do anything else but showcase her unbelievable talent. After all these, we came to a common conclusion that she is the NEXT ONE.
Let these people figure it out for themselves. They, too, will come to the same conclusion. Maybe not right away. But they will.

Have fun Singaporeans! I hope your Chaster community there grows even bigger and stronger and make Charice as happy as she was at Toronto. Now’s your chance and opportunity to show your support for Charice. Good luck, success and best wishes for this event on your turf.

ISN’T IT MORE SWEETER WHEN CHARICE INTRODUCES HERSELF PRESENTING OR FROM “ASIA” RATHER THAN SAYING OR PARTICULARLY FROM THE PHILIPPINES UNLESS ASKED FROM WHAT COUNTRY IN ASIA? I NEED YOUR OPINION, PLEASE… GOD BLESS TO ALL!

Asia is a continental region, so to be specific the Philippines should also be mentioned. Give credit to her country…not everyone knows where she came from.

you’re saying that you don’t have some for this gig?
Faith is something that cannot be seen, but a belief that “that something” is there.
i beg to defer with your opinion, i say it is time for charice to come swing by singapore, there will be a positive result in this event, i believe.

I hope Charice does not get “stereotyped” as a Christian Singer otherwise she might alienate other potential fans. Even Whitney and other singers who had strong religious roots threaded carefully when it comes to religion in their careers to reach more audience.
But then again, Charice is also had made several apperances in Pride events, so as long as she is balanced – and not get into politics – she should be okay.

Think “respect.” When there is respect for each other’s religious preference, I don’t see any problem here. We have some Muslim Chasters from Singapore and Malaysia who are going to the event for Charice. I’m sure they are welcome there.
I don’t think Charice will be stereotyped as a Christian singer. As far as I know, “Note To God” was well received by non-Christians. Being a Christian/Roman Catholic is part of who Charice is and, I believe, everyone respects that.
Yes, stay away from politics.

Loel, I agree w/ you. Knowing Singapore myself, this country is the best example how people w/ different religions and different races living in one big community respecting each other. From Indians, Malays, Filipinos, Europeans, Chinese, etc. etc. They will surely embrace Charice. Wait a minute….aren´t they doing it now? Yes, Singapore loves and supports Charice!
