Sometimes one performance stands out from the many, and Charice’s rendition of “All By My Self” with David Foster in Las Vegas last year is exactly that.
The performance is part of the “Hit Man Returns: David Foster & Friends” concert held at Mandalay Bay on October 15 last, and is available to buy on DVD/CD and CD/Blue-Ray sets from March 1. It will also feature on the PBS Great Performances broadcast on March 1, for which the event was specifically recorded.
However, footage has just been released on YouTube that isolate Charice’s version of Eric Carmen’s 1975 hit, which was also recorded by Celin Dione in 1996, as probably the great moment of the night.
Charice nails a vocal test that so few singers have ever been able to get, but it is the performance that brings the audience at Mandalay Bay to their feet in a standing ovation even before she had managed to finish the song.
What makes this version even better than the night, however, is the last 4 bars of the song. On the night, David Foster admitted on stage that he had neglected to tell Charice of a change, which had left the teenage diva a little out of sorts. However, on the recording, the 4 bars are there – expertly edited in by PBS personnel.
In fact, we think it’s so good we are setting you Chasters a challenge. The footage has only just gone up on YouTube (514 hits at the time of writing). Can you play your part to make it 1 million hits in, say, the next two weeks?
Your part is not a difficult task. Just let your friends, family, neighbors and even your enemies know about it and view. In fact, email it to them, share it with them on Facebook or whatever social networking site you’re on. You can even forward it to any of the other entertainment and news websites you know of. Just GET THE WORD OUT!
We have to work quickly because it’s only a matter of time before the powers that be will take this footage down and prevent anyone from seeing it – except, of course, by buying the DVD or Blue-Ray disc.
What we are suggesting is that nothing will inspire someone to buy the “Hit Man Returns: David Foster & Friends” if this 5-minute taster of Charice’s performance doesn’t!
So, CHASTERS! Spread the word! Spread the links! Spread the name! And, let’s make it 1 million hits in 2 weeks! VIRAL SUCCESS EQUAL INCREASED SALES!

David Foster Brings Seal, Charice and More Stars to His Second ‘Hit Man’ Concert Special
As Foster tells PopEater, the success of the first ‘Hit Man’ caught him off-guard. “I think it aired 7,800 times,” he says. “It proved to be such a big fundraiser for PBS, and it ran for over a two-year period. There were lots of singers and artists that I had worked with in my career that were not available on that first show. >> Full story

Since A lot of us been comparing Charice to AI contestants check out what this guy “Vongsundara” said when he compared Charice against the great singers. This article been here in Charicenmania for a while now but it’s nice to go back and read it again because this guy got a different vision of what he saw about Charice’s talent, so enjoy reading it again…

If this video indeed needs to get promoted, then why is this particular YT vid not in David Foster’s official channel? Doesn’t that tell us something?
http://www.youtube.com/user/davidfoster
Why is Charicemania promoting someone else’s ripoff channel? If this video is sanctioned and needs promoting, it should be promoted thru the official channel of the producer of the show, David Foster.
There is a reason why David Foster did not include this particular video in his archives.
Yet here we are….

If Admin had embedded Charice’s performance from Popeater.com, the 28,000(estimated) views Jessiegeneral has would’ve gone to Popeater.com instead of Jessie. Right? Again, my question is are we doing this correctly? Please advise.

Ok, that explains a lot. If only AOL/Popeater.com knew how many times Charice’s performance was being viewed, they would understand how popular she is and add more content to their website to support her. Instead, jessiegeneral will garner views and…do what? This is frustrating.

If PopEater wanted to secure their video wholeheartedly, they easily could’ve been more protective of their video (a la Teen.com’s exclusive Charice videos). While this by no means prevents unconstitutional downloads (there’s always a dogged person with software that can pull it off), one would surmise that it categorically tells you to lay off.

I presume you are a lawyer, or you have a legal background so I won’t even dare to argue legalese with you.
It may be (highly) likely that David Foster does have this clip in his archive–in “private,” that is–for his channel does not make it visible to the public.
http://www.youtube.com/user/davidfoster
While the video may have appeared in PopEater, the exclusive interview with David Foster is coincidental to the existence of the YT vid in it’s site and not as a result of an exclusivity agreement between David and PopEater. Why, you may ask? It’s because–
1. it does not make any sense for David Foster to transfer the rights of promoting said YT video exclusively thru PopEater and AOL. He could do it himself, and his channel will get more hits. Moreover, the more sites the vid is channeled or distributed, the greater the exposure if this is David Foster’s intention. This, by logic. I am not a lawyer.
2. Basing from number 1, the vid should be visible to the public in David Foster’s channel. It is not.
3. Unless “JessieGeneral,” the channel where the YT vid of Charice’s ABM is shown, is an employee of PopEater, then there is no question. However, why is it under his username and not PopEater’s? Should not PopEater.com promote its domain/brand name channel in YT?
4. JessieGeneral is based in the Philippines. PopEater too? Hmm…

As long as JesseGeneral’s video falls under ‘Fair Use’, it doesn’t matter where’s he is from… doesn’t matter if you don’t see it on David’s site… doesn’t matter that had he’d been on the ball down to the second (he’s beat me to it – the torch is his). You can conjecture all you want, but as long as the copyright owner is happy, he’s fine. If not, he can contest (the owner may or may not concede), or not bother and just hang up.
I think we should just have a good time with this.

Well then, I will conjecture, and let me borrow your words, that “there’s always a dogged person with software that can pull it off,” when a vid is supposedly private (David Foster’s), since by not showing it in public, “one would surmise that it categorically tells you to lay off.”
You would understand if I don’t participate in this “promoting.” But do have a good time.

We don’t have any ulterior motive or something enigmatic to that effect. Not with him, not with me. We just want to promote out beloved Charice, and David, too. Yes we do take risks, but not for personal gain at the expense of copyright owners.
Nonetheless, the copyright infringement process can and do often sting us – videos get blocked, channels are shut down. But that doesn’t make us any less virtuous. Take a look at FalseVoice, He’s been shut down before, too. Now, do I think any less of him? No. he’s brought us wonderful Charice.
