(SINGAPORE 1645 hrs) UPDATE: CHARICE WILL STILL PERFORM TONIGHT AT THE DFF CONCERT.
Charice’s Mommy Raqz said, “Yes, she sings tonight and she’s in good health now.”
Mommy Raqz said that from now on, she will not allow Charice to eat just anywhere.
“[I will tell Charice to eat] just the food that I’ve prepared. No [more] sushi. ” said Mommy Raqz.
She added, “We need to thank the Lord for always [being] there behind Charice’s back.”
Mommy Raqz earlier announced that Charice had a minor indigestion after consuming sushi at a Singaporean restaurant.

(SINGAPORE, 1604 hrs) UPDATE: THE SINGAPORE CONCERT IS NOT CANCELLED.
Charice’s mother Raquel Pineda, better known as Mommy Raqz, posted a twitter update at 4:03 PM (GMT+8).
She tweeted, “Don’t worry chasters. Charice is OK now. She had a slight stomachache due to the sushi that she ate…”
Mommy Raqz added all of the members of the David Foster and Friends Asian Tour staff were also worried by the incident. She said that she is thankful that nothing seriously tragic happened.
Charice’s Philippine talent Manager Grace Mendoza also said that it was a relatively minor case of food poisoning.
***********
(SINGAPORE, 1500 hrs) Corroborating twitter updates indicate that Charice was rushed into a hospital today, the morning after her appearance in first edition of the David Foster and Friends Concert in Singapore.
At 2:35 PM (GMT +8), Singaporean Children’s Book author David Seow tweeted , “Just saw singer Charice being rushed out of her hotel in Singapore in a wheelchair. Hope she is ok. Pray 4 her”
At the time, Seow was near the lobby of the hotel where Charice was staying.
At about the same time, another Singaporean member of the Twitterverse, Joyce Sim, posted , “I was just hanging around waiting for her (Charice). Next thing i know, one bunch of them rushed out. Then [there was] confusion.”
Charice’s management has officially cancelled her press conference this afternoon, along with her scheduled appearance in tonight’s David Foster and Friends Concert.
Multiple tweets from various users reveal that a large group escorted Charice, who was reportedly on a wheelchair.
Charicemania attempted to contact both Charice’s management and her mom, but they were not available to comment as of press time.
Charice is currently in Singapore as a performer in the five-city David Foster and Friends Asian Concert Tour.
Singapore is the tour’s fifth and final leg, after a non-stop whirlwind of performances that started in Tokyo, Japan on October 19, 2010.
Charice’s schedule since then has become very hectic, as shown by less frequent personal tweets and updates from the young star.
On October 28th, her latest tweet showed, ”Thank you so much Jakarta!!! 
This is it! LAST STOP! SINGAPORE!!!!”
Charicemania.com will update this report to reflect succeeding developments.

Charice never eat uncooked (raw) Sushi. Eat California or Spider rolls which are cooked and yummy, too.

@Lolo JP and Rodbelt: Don’t worry about experiencing any CHA-withdrawals in the coming weeks… after 9 LONG weeks, we get to look forward to the return of SUNSHINE to Glee on Episode 7, and we keep hearing she’s gonna sing a Celine Dion song probably on Episode 8. So we’ve got A LOT more of Charice to look forward to on the small-screen this fall.
And don’t forget about the Christmas shows she’s slated for in November and December. The LA Chasters will be out in full force for the November 20 Christmas-tree lighting show and we’ll of course have a full report and videos for all. I know there will be large groups of Chasters at the shows in Buffalo and Ohio, so don’t worry, MANY more videos/reports are on their way in the coming weeks!
This winter’s NOT going to be a cold one! There’s gonna be PLENTY OF SUNSHINE throughout this winter season! I’ve got a sneaky suspicion that Charice will be debuting her new dance single sometime in November as well, which would lead to many more television appearances to promote the new single. It’s gonna be a truly joyous end to this unbelievably amazing year we’ve had as Chasters! And let’s not even begin to imagine what 2011 will have in store for Charice and her global Chaster family!

Your generous words of admiration and support simply got me carried away to sail along alkaline-rich words that expels anger and malice out of my mind. Moments that I frequently yearn for wishing to leave my mind lie at anchor and afford me to drift in that moment of bliss, a place of trust– to firmly hold me to enjoy it a minute more…”my Charice moment.”
Rodbelt said it right: “that we are on the quite painful withdrawal stage after 2 weeks of relentlessly following Charice’s journey as she conquered the musical world of Asia, all I do now is watch the videos over and over again.
Autumn is near and I can already feel it. It’s going to be windy and cold as we await the promise of spring. February may be a long wait for the young pepped up Chasters, but, as for me, I’ll feel content viewing videos and reading your comments while I sip my bold cup of joe. To watch the red, green and sand colored leaves being playfully blown by the wind…a sign of joy and fairness…a sign of truth–life!
Keep your focus and turn on your heart’s GPS! There is so much of goodness to talk about…I salute all the classic supportive Chasters.

Let me tell you , I found Charice clothes to be perfect ,leaning on the conservative . Her gestures too. Sometimes I found it weird that she sometimes do not acknowledge the accolades. Truly the humble one.
Outfits, clothers , get -ups ?
Try Lady Gaga, Madonna, and lately Miley Cyrus !
She does not have to do all these. Shes pure talent.

In the Manila concert, it was Charice – the woman. Appearing in that strikingly beautiful fuchsia dress, she exuded the embodiment of a fully grown lady as she teasingly hummed the ending part of BGM with a slight hint of her sex appeal. But in the second leg of the Singapore concert, it was Charice – the girl. Dressed in that comfortable outfit of jeans and flats she playfully worked the audience with her unrehearsed moves and gestures showing that she still so much of a kid at heart, the consummate performer that she is. Are we starting to see the revelation of the still talents of Charice – like the making of a female MJ? Just wait. It may not be too long when we will see Charice perform some choreographed song and dance numbers.

I am sure if he is talking about ABM….that 3 person could have been, Whitney, Celine and Charice….if it is, I can only say WOW, coming from DF mouth…its got to be a very credible comment.
Comparing Charice from other Philippine excellent performers is a waste of time from now on…my 2 cents. PEACE

By the way, with all due respect as you, like me, is an avid supporter of Charice, please refrain from condescendingly referring to other Filipino singers, as it does nothing but alienate others. Other Filipino entertainers have their talents in their own right and we all know where Charice stands among them.

as a young lady singing ballads written before she was born, I see a bridge between musical generations, as she breathes new life into each song and makes them new again … and in the process making us young again …
in between songs, I see a shy young lady, almost uncomfortable in the spotlight, but once the music starts, transforms into a fearless performer who was born to sing, an old soul who has been here before …
and last but not least, I see a brilliant flame of inspiration and hope, a beacon for the rest of us …

- here, David mentions that she had a stomach problem just before this performance and was planning to remove this song to not stress Charice too much, but Charice had other plans – if David removed 4 bars of ABM before, she was not letting him remove an entire song, something that is special to her

when she is in flats, she is more in her element, dancing along to the beat with something that her body seems hard-wired to do, in a very natural and fluid way – this reminds me of the videos of her rehearsals, where she is very relaxed, just being herself, and freely dancing around.
while some are criticizing her for her non-formal attire, what that says to me is that there is more to her than the divas she covers, showing some edge as she moves to the beat and the natural rhythm inside her.
her top has 3 stripes coming down from her neck, which for me represent the vocal power and quality of Celine, Whitney and Beyonce, all wonderfully blended together and wrapped tidily in one cute and endearing ball of Asian energy that can hardly contain her Sunshine …

I concur with you Arvee, Charice adds dance/body moves and jumps to her performances when she is wearing non-formal outfit and shoes, which is enjoyable to watch.
People who are looking for “faults” always find one or can manufacture one..
A positive person always highlights the positive in people. I’ve noticed that in great people, like David Foster and Charice and all the artists in this tour. David Foster, knew how to highlight the best talent of his friends, and he did – who knew that Ruben Studdard can compose songs impromptu?
Another example, Charice went to visit the 20 finalist of Sharons Talent pop search and she shared her insight to stardom and said that she has no right to give advise because she is just another singer like them— such humility she displayed over and over again… these as the “beautiful clothing” that I see in these great people. Did David Foster wear Armani suit? who cares…he wasn’t naked…and so with the others and Charice.(just putting things in perspective).
Another beautiful thing I saw in this Asian tour, were the people: although I only watched it on youtube, I fell in love with the audience singing along in Araneta, and all the appreciative people in Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and Singapore. For a moment we were we all awed and lifted by something utterly beautiful that we all recognize as a gift from above and we celebrated collectively and for this,I am grateful.
P.S. not to forget the unselfish deeds of fans who filmed the videos to share with us who can’t be there, thank you:)

To those who are unhappy on Charice’ attire, make up and hair-do (there are complaints from the Japan show (not enough face and legs showing)to the Philippines (too much make-up, big hair, what’s up with that dress etc., to Thailand and Indonesia (not as bad)and the worst…..the last day in Singapore (is this a dry run? am so disappointed)…Oh my!!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!
A lot of critics are hiding under the guise of constructive criticism and I can understand that. But did it ever occur to you that what you perceive as ugly and inappropriate could be so beautiful and exactly appropriate to another person? And do you honestly believe that your taste is way better than the next person or for that matter, Charice? The last show in Singapore proved to be the litmus test for Charice’ fans. There are those who are worried, prayed, cried, kept vigil and showed genuine concern both serious and comical. And then there are the disappointed ones because she did not dress up “to their expectation”. To the latter, please consider this. Charice was said to be vomiting because of food poisoning and was rushed to the hospital. Timeline is 2:30 pm. That she’s back in time for the show is not only a miracle but showed her true character . That she has gumption and a trouper is perhaps an understatement here. Did you ever consider the logistical problems of DF if they cancelled the concert at the last minute? Charice is aware of that and most probably have to dragged herself to the concert. If you have been sick of food poisoning (I have)you just want to at least be comfortable, no high heels or ill-fitting clothes. Besides, you may not want the way she looks but she never cheated you with even a single note. Everything is delivered flawlessly. That she even dance and jump a little is a bonus that she was only able to deliver because of her easy attire. Also, let’s not forget that she’s a teenager and can therefore get away with most things she wear. For this writer… sometimes, irreverence to the status quo can be a breath of fresh air.
