Charice has been rated as the “most likely” contender to replace Justin Bieber as the biggest name in music, according to UK newspaper, The Independent.
The Independent article, titled “Bieber fever? Get over it! Meet the new kids on the block,” identifies 10 young singers that could take Bieber’s mantle. The list included 10-year-olds Jackie Evancho and Heather Russell, Hollywood star Will Smith’s kids, Jaden (12) and Willow (10), and Sweden’s 18-year-old veteran, Amy Diamond, who has 6 albums (including a ‘best of’) behind her already.
However, the article states that of the list of 10 candidates to become the next global mega-star, Charice is the “most likely heiress apparent,” having already carved out an international presence already.
Charice is the "most likely heiress apparent"
“The most likely heiress apparent is Charice Pempengco, the Philippines’ answer to Whitney Houston and a veteran at the age of 18,” the article read, before going on to briefly detail her high-rating achievements, including featuring in “two of the gala events surrounding Barack Obama’s inauguration.”
There can be no denying the mega-stardom that Bieber enjoying, and at the age of just 16, it seems strange for anyone to be speculating over the Canadian pop star’s career changing to go on a downward spiral.
We already know just how far Charice has come, having topped the charts in Japan, the Philippines (of course) and the US dance charts, and having all but conquered Japan, the second-biggest music market in the world.
But it is also true that she has not yet reached the heights as her Canadian teenage colleague, who featured on the same “Search for the Most Talented Kids” show on Oprah in 2010.
It might even have been whispered that Charice is more talented than Justin Bieber, with a voice that has astounded industry heavy-weights as much as regular audiences. But there can be no denying just how huge Bieber is.
His current album, “My World 2.0,” hit No 1 in the Billboard 200 chart, and has gone double-Platinum in the US, Canada and Australia, while his own movie, “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” has just been released. He also has a huge well of support globally, with some 21,785,147 ‘friends’ on Facebook, and 7,549,303 followers on Twitter, making him something of a prince of social networking.
Doubtless, Charice would be the first to back her fellow singer and actor to have a long and hugely successful career. In fact, she has already said that “he deserves everything that is happening to him.”
Charice also indicated she would be open to collaborating with Justin Bieber in the future, though she denied that he has been involved in anyway with her new album, which is set to be released later this year.
However, there is also little doubt that the Laguna-born teenage diva is establishing her own significant global presence – as witnessed by the success of her Japan Tour this week.
Replace Bieber as a the biggest name in music? Why not?

The Canadian teen star is about to be eclipsed by a fresh batch of pop pixies. Even as he reaches the peak of fame, the teen heart-throb Justin Bieber already faces the prospect that, not too long from now, his star will be eclipsed by a younger, even more >> Full story

like the lyrics in her “Pyramid” hit, it will not be long when she
will be “at the top, baby!” Just be patient, guys! Meanwhile, stop
bashing other artists like JB. He earned what he has now because of
his talent, just like our little princess has – and more! All she,
and we, need is patience. Her star will come, and is already in fact,
in the horizon, when she will top ‘em all!

Charice to inherit JB’s mantle – since JB is younger, you mean she’ll have to wait years until JB’s over the hill? That is not a compliment – that is a put-down. Justin is a Superstar, 100%. Megastar? Justin has a talent, and that is selling his music to millions. Megastar – That would be Charice: Megatalent. She will be a star for all seasons, for all reasons!

But guys and gals, do not bash other artists! It’s a sign of immaturity and lack of mannered personality. Do not make this website a debate blog coz that’s not what charicemania.com is all about. Don’t get pissed…Charice surely isn’t. She just does what she loves the most…to sing and entertain…support her for that and be there for her (I’m sure you guys are anyway).
It’s likely I’m gonna have a fair share of thumbs down for this…but really…TAKE A CHILL PILL! My two cents worth.

Charice is a category all to herself. She will NOT be the NEXT anyone. She is the FIRST CHARICE. First Asian to break into the mainstream American billboards. First to be featured in Oprah at least six times. etc..etc…etc…
So lay off the comparisons. Apples and oranges.

If Warner-Reprise will not be smart enough to bring the best out of Charice, then other recording companies might steal her…who knows, maybe right now they are already prepared for it…I hope that Warner-Reprise will bring out the best on Charice in her upcoming album…I really hope so….

I believe Bieber will eventually end up in tinseltown down his career path and forego a singing career once his teen period is over.
Charice on the otherhand “will” progress and develop further on in the music industry to be a recognised global megadiva as she is a killer in a lot of genre and as DF aptly describes her as a musical prodigy and a vocal powerhouse(**Hope I quoted it correctly). As she ages, so can she adopt and fit gracefully in her type of songs accordingly.
So yes in the long run I believe Charice will take over JB’s mantles in due time. Her time to reign will come and it will explode exponentially with her first Grammy award.
