Our friends at Hollywoodlife.com have started yet another campaign, this time to make Pia Toscano’s dream to perform what Charice on American Idol a reality.
The good news is that Charice herself has backed the plan.
In an interview with Hollywoodlife.com on Tuesday (April 12), Pia described Charice as “the most amazing singer ever,” and admitted that she would love to sing a duet with the teenage diva on the American Idol finale next month.
“She’s the most amazing singer ever. I would absolutely perform with her, she’s insane,” the 22-year-old told HollywoodLife.com, before adding that she watched footage of Charice’s performances of Celine Dion classics before her own performances.
“When I was covering all of my Celine Dion songs, I would watch her videos. She’s just out-of-this-world amazing, and I am such a huge fan of hers.”
Perhaps even more out-of-this-world for Pia is the news that Charice is apparently completely in support of the idea, and has tweeted as much.
After being notified by a tweet about the Hollywoodlife.com article, she responded emphatically “@PToscanoAI10 would love to perform with you too. 
you’re so sweet.”
The 22-year-old New Yorker was eliminated from the hit talent show on April 7 after performing the Tina Turner hit “River Deep – Mountain High.” That meant that she finished the show in 9th place, but her elimination is considered as arguably the most controversial elimination in the 10-year history of the show, and had left all three judges shocked in disbelief.
She has been busy with television appearances since then, but her admission, immediately following a recording for MTV, that she wants to perform with Charice will come as another surprise, although a much more pleasant and positive one.
It is only a matter of waiting to see if the powers that be make such a tantalising pairing a reality. It would be hard to imagine that they might be against the idea.
Hollywoodlife.com has set up a poll on their site, where Chasters can show their support for the idea. So, make sure to visit, cast your vote and, of course, leave a comment.
Charice’s positive response can only mean that her own schedule is free for the show, though it has been a busy time for her of late. Last week, she was filming in Boston for the Hollywood comedy “Here Comes the Boom,” with Kevin James and Salma Hayek.
That movie is due for release in July 2012, but what is to be released this year is her new single “Before It Explodes,” which was produced by Bruno Mars. It will be released on Monday next, April 18.

Or either that, Charice and Pia sing Note to God or In this Song. That would be more appropriate.

If Charice does the duet with Pia, AI’s finale would be right after Glee’s season ends so appearing on AI would be great publicity for Charice to win over new fans and drive sales for her new single. Mission accomplished!
The downside: Pia doesn’t realize that her talent is not in the same caliber as Charice so I think it would actual hinder Pia’s budding career.
And Thia? It was disappointing to see her performance diminish each week instead of improve. It’s a good thing that at 16 yrs. old, she’s still eligible to audition for several more years. I hope Thia does succeed with her music aspirations.

You’ve just proved my point. It’s people like you who criticizes Pia as some kind of inferior to Charice makes Pia’s fans dislike Charice. And as you are fully aware, you’re using the Internet as a medium to channel your comments – PEOPLE will read it not only Chasters, but also all other people who will visit this link.
Anyway, it’s pointless to argue with People who are close-minded & so full of themselves who fails to listen to other criticisms coz they think they’re always right.

I love love love Thia’s voice. It’s still a mystery to me why she started off so strongly – almost flawless, then to stiff and nervous. Is it just me, or did she seem to lose her confidence?

I think it’s the pressure of being part of the competition & to satisfy the judges. She could have worked hard to overcome it, then she might have loosened a bit on her performances. Well, she’s still very young… I’m sure her AI experience will be the start of her stardom.

Well, Thia’s performance on the night of the Top 24 was easily the best and most interesting to me that night. I REALLY hope she continues because it would be nice to have more of that awesomeness. I bought all of her recordings, even Colors of the Wind, which was so smooth, and I actually grew to love (I say “even” because I frowned upon that song choice. I know she liked the lyrics, but it seemed like a song that she could indulge in rather than a choice that warranted a comeback and considered an audience). All of them were so nice and smooth, especially Daniel. I don’t know what people are smokin’ because both performance and recording were full of emotion. Her moves were also so cute when she did Heatwave.
And that concludes my irrelevant commenting. Go Pia, Go Thia, Go Charice.

If invited, this is going to be a great opportunity for Charice to display her talents and show her love and appreciation to Oprah on her final TV show on May 25th.

Seriously, as long as Charice appears on AI even in a duet with Pia
I’m all for it; although I would rather see her sing a solo.
Looks like the engine is revving up again and the Charice train is about to make another run. I have my ticket already so “all aboard”.

As for Pia, it is very possible that DF may take her under his wings just like the past AI standouts like Ruben Studdard, Katherine McPee and Michael John and perform with the DF concert in Mandalay Bay comes October. Then the Charice-Pia duet may become a reality.
