JULY 20 UPDATE – CONCERT REVIEW OF SRO CROWD; NEW VIDEOS at Venice Piazza and Eastwood Mall.
MANILA – Charice continues her Asia Tour from Korea to the Philippines for the next 3 days. First stop in the 3-day series is her show at Newport Plaza, Resorts World, July 15th at 8pm. Tomorrow, the 16th, she will be at the Venice Piazza, McKinley Hill. And on Saturday, July 17th, she will perform at Eastwood Mall. All shows begin at 8PM.
Charice also made appearances at several television shows: UKG Morning Jam to perform “Pyramid Dance Mix”, Eat Bulaga where they gave her a warm welcome, and at E-Live.

Charice’s Standing Room Only Crowd
Charice was scheduled for three gigs as part of a five-leg Asian tour to promote the 18-year-old Filipina international singer’s self-titled US debut album on Warner Music.
The first show, held Thursday night at the Newport Plaza of Resorts World Manila, attracted an SRO crowd, which spilled over the 800-capacity venue.
High Spirits
Charice was in high spirits, matching the upbeat tempo of the opening number, “I Love You” (a track from her album), with energetic vocals amid snappy stage moves with four dancers.
A cover of Beyonce’s “Halo” followed—the song’s spiritual-inspirational bent serving as prelude to a song Charice personally dedicated to her audience: “In This Song.” The tune, co-written for Charice by her album producer and musical mentor David Foster, captured the confidence-building scenario which the singer is currently engaged in, and had enough musical bombast to win over first-time listeners.
Although she had to perform the album’s first single “Pyramid” alone (the original studio version is a duet with Virgin Islands singer Iyaz), Charice was never at a loss; she even comfortably filled in for Iyaz’s rap parts.
For the finale she did a lighthearted cover of Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” as well as a short medley of hits by Miley Cyrus and other teenage pop stars. A couple of videos were shown, one about Charice’s dizzying ascent to fame, the other highlighting Foster’s topnotch reputation as songwriter-producer—both apparently prepared by Warner’s promotional team to drum up more interest for the Charice CD.
‘Glee’ Song
A press conference was held at Eastwood Richmonde Hotel a few hours before the show at Resorts World during which reporters kept fishing for more details on Charice’s coming appearance on the US musical-comedy-drama TV series “Glee.” But she herself couldn’t divulge anything other than her shooting schedule which starts July 28.
Raquel had one other bit of info: First on the shooting sequence is Charice in a scene with one of the lead characters, Rachel Berry (played by Lea Michele).
Charice will reportedly shoot 10 episodes for season 2 of the series, which airs this September.
In the meantime, she proceeds with the Asian leg of the album promo tour to Japan (July 19-21), Thailand (July 21-23) and Malaysia (July 24-26). She returns to Manila in October for the “David Foster and Friends” concert, which she said will also include Natalie Cole and Peter Cetera, among others.

Eastwood Mall 7/17
The Eastwood Mall concert was by far the biggest and the best concert of the 3-day series. Not even a damp and rainy evening prevented an estimated crowd of over 10,000 fans from coming to witness Charice performing LIVE with her powerful vocals.

I found this aerial shot of the crowd who came to see Charice perform last July 17, 2010 @ Eastwood Open Park, Libis, Quezon City, Philippines. Photo from Eastwood management. I thought it’s never too late to see how big the crowd was at Charice’s home ground.

i’ve notice your video link on venice piazza it didn’t have “uploaded by” below it. Is it from charicemania?

On a playlist (there are four videos for Venice Piazza), there may be several uploaders so it’s not always practical to include all of their names. Charicemania usually includes the name as a courtesy even though you will notice other blogsites virtually never include the names of the uploaders especially since it is the original video that is embedded – just double-click to view it at youtube.com and you’ll find the name there. I added two names above, but you’ll have to double-click to figure out which name belongs to which video.

I have been following charice ever since I saw her on the Ellen show and got fascinated by her story.I am happy for her success specially here abroad and hoped that Hollywood will not corrupt her but it seems that I was wrong.she had just released her first album and now we are hearing about botox.Considering she is only 18 yrs.old that is a little bit hard to comprehend.Well, at least she was in the entertainment news section today of the 24hrs vancouver daily news paper because of it.Explaining Botox as a procedure to correct muscle pain or jaw problem is a little bit hard to swallow for some people.

May I correct something Belo is not a cosmetic surgeon, she didn’t even pass as a dermatologist, she’s just a medical doctor who attends seminars in different countries about cosmetic enhancements… just saying.

I can never get enough of Charice singing HALO. Here’s a nice video angle at Eastwood Mall. I added it to Playlist above. I loved the Karen Davila interview too. I’d say this was one of the best visits back home for Charice, very exciting to see the warm welcome everywhere and appearances for the first time at Eat Bulaga and E-Live. I’ve never heard of the shows, but from all the comments here, it seems Charice is finally being accepted by everyone at home, Joey de Leon lol. It was like a 3-day WELCOME HOME party.
rah rah Charice At The Top Baby!
HALO at Eastwood

i remember one particular episode of Eat Bulaga with some of the hosts saying something bad about Charice. Ironically, they invited her to perform on their show.

a nation separated by vast body of water
an island confused by hundreds of language
an industry divided by competition
Charice brought them all together… as one nation, proud of the color of their skin, proud of the humbleness of their noses, proud of their height and built……..most of all, PROUD OF THEIR TALENT
no other Filipino artist have accomplished so much in so little time, and still there is a lot more She will be conquering…..God willing

of course, she’s turning into a woman being 18, now. it’s no wonder, really that sge’s getting rounder. also, she is very humble for telling the fil. viewers and reporter that her talent fee might not be 100K. and even then, she deserves it. maybe in the philippines, her filipina manager doesn’t demand that much knowing how poor we are and she is just happy to perform in front of pinoy audience but in the USA I’m sure her manager there would ask for that talent fee because it’s more expensive to do business there.

All PI media are excited to see Charice back because she’s the only celebrity that’s humble, clean character with no hint of intrigue, and a real nice and friendly personality ( met her five times and
I don’t see or feel any changes on her character despite all her success). Hoping to see her for the sixth time at the Grammy Block Party on July 31 if I am able to buy a ticket because they require non-member to be accompanied by a member of the Grammy Academy chapter.
Continued success on your Asian Tour…at the TOP OF THE WORLD BABY!
