In a J-14 Magazine feature, Charice has spoken up to reveal her insecurity over her height and her decision to eventually accept it as part of who she is.
J-14 Magazine, which is one of the most popular magazines for teenagers in the US, includes the Filipino singing sensation in a special feature in its February issue titled “Stars’ Secret Struggles,” focusing on teenage insecurities.
In the magazine, Charice admits she was especially conscious of her height when she met Taylor Swift at the 41st Annual Songwriter’s Hall of Fame Award ceremony in June last year. The two also appeared along with Enrique Iglesias and John Legend at the Target Corps National Meeting in Minneapolis in August.
She said that she had been excited about meeting the leading country singer until she discovered how much taller the Pennsylvania-born singer is.
Charice and Taylor Swift
“I met Taylor Swift and I was like, ‘Oh man, I have to do something about my height’,” Charice is quoted as saying. “People tell me, ‘You’re so small in real life.’ I am insecure about my height.”
Charice also admits that she has tried to change her style to compensate for her insecurity and turned to wearing heels for a time before realizing they just weren’t for her. ”Heels just kill me. I can only stand for like an hour,” she says.
There is no secret to the fact that Charice is a major hit with teenagers in the US and around the world. J-14 followers even voted the Filipino diva as the “Icon of Tomorrow” in an online poll in November. So, there can be little doubt that she is a role model for young girls across America.
As one of a number celebrities to speak about their personal insecurities, it’s obvious Charice shares her thoughts in an effort to convince other ‘short’ girls not to worry about their image.
Meanwhile, in the same issue, romantic links between Charice and David Archuleta are again denied. Charice is quoted as saying that her songs are not dedicated to the 2008 American Idol runner-up.
“I dedicate my songs to my friends and family, not to David Archuleta,” she says.

Charice, I never saw a girl so tall like you. Indeed, did you know why? Because i know your life histore and I think to myself that how many girls in the world would give up so easily if just half of the things that happened with you were with they. So I think God sent you here just to show us that miracles are possible . Everytime that you look at the mirror and start to thinking that you are too small, just remember that you is really the biggest inspiration in my life, the best part of my day and the biggest thing I dicovered in these last times. charice you are great !

Brenda Lee sounds as if she is a big person, as I recall.
Never realized she’s small, a bit shorter than Charice, even.
And now Charice…
just proves the saying, “Small but Terrible”.
Charice @ D TOP !!!!!!!!

All things come in natural way. If you do it the artificial way, it will give you trade-offs in the future.
Charice is a natural gift and she is very unique in many ways.
Agree Chasters? Charice, i’m one of your biggest fan and i love you as my sister and me as your big brother.

GOD destined you to overcome the giants in this battle your’re living with.You maybe short in height but GOD fills- in the rest of it, haven’t you notice that? that is what people continue wondering about, Why and How does that possible. A voice so deep, sweet and powerful comes from a tiny little body. A voice such as yours remains still a mystery to me.You maybe short in pictures and in person but my eyes sees a giant amongst them.You are what you are and your name will forever etched in our hearts and for generations to come as simply the ” SWEETEST AND MOST POWERFUL VOICE THAT COMES FROM A SWEET TINY LITTLE GIRL KNOWN AS… CHARICE ” Labyo girl, to the TOP baby.

With our insecurity, it makes us a human, make us not arrogant ,make use respect others for their insecurity.
Just focus to your talent, accept your insecurity, that will make you happy.Insecurity can make world balance, make world complete, can you imagine this world only has day and no night.
