Based on the audience turn-out in the two-day concert in Tokyo, it will be another successful run for the David Foster and Friends Asian Tour this 2011. Last year’s concert series also attracted huge crowds in key Asian cities, though Japan stands out by having two sold-out concerts in two straight days.
And this year, the trend continues with the successful October 19 and 20 DFF concerts in Tokyo. Plus, two other similar things happened: 1) A solo Charice concert was announced for the following year, and 2) Charice emerged as the main star of the show.
- Tickets for Charice’s 2012 solo concert in Japan are selling like hotcakes
Yes, you’ve read that right. Charice will have her own concert next year in Japan. It’s scheduled on March 14, 2012 at the Shibuya Koukaido. Advance tickets were also sold during the DFF concert and a lot of people already bought theirs. Could this Japan concert possibly be a part of a multi-country Charice tour in 2012? It’s not impossible, but as of now, we only know that this is just a one-off concert in Japan.
Aside from David Foster (who was a part of the band in almost all of the performances), Charice had the most number of songs in the concert. She sang six songs, which included her own “Louder” and vocally challenging songs like, “Stand Up For Love”, “Unbreak My Heart”, “Power Of Love”, “Earth Song”, and “The Prayer” (which she sang with Michael Bolton).
Enjoy watching all of Charice’s performances below, big thanks to LantaoIsland for the videos:

I am so proud with my name tag and I enjoyed every moment wearing it while at the gathering and also at the concert venue. May I say, Forget About the Price Tag of Jessie J but rather be proud of the CHASTER’S NAME TAG.
My best regards to Gunrunner, Henri_V, Rodbelt and to all of you wonderful Chasters that I have met yesterday also am happy to see LANTAO live.

One funny part was that Ashanti did “I have nothing” and ‘IWALY” instead of Charice.
Nothing wrong here except perhaps how these songs were rendered. Not bashing Ashanti here, just saying how it is. perhaps I said after hearing Charice’s version, those that try to sing these pieces will alaways be gauged to that of Cha’s standards and in this case Ashanti’s version failed miserably.
You be the judge and check the video out.
I just wondered why DF let Ashanti try these difficult big ballads on an R&B singer? Or maybe the gurl though she can handle them. Truth?….she was struggling. Shows how Charice’s level is way above when someone tries to fill-in her shoes.
Just my two cents…..

Jap is an English abbreviation of the word “Japanese.” Today it is generally regarded as an ethnic slur, although English-speaking countries differ in the degree to which they consider the term offensive. In the United States, Japanese Americans have come to find the term controversial or offensive, even when used as an abbreviation. In the past, Jap was not considered primarily offensive; however, during and after the events of World War II, the term became derogatory.”

It’s not like that in Philippines where there’s so much western(Spanish and American) influences. Perhaps the warm welcome of Charice fans in the home turf helped, because her singing here exudes more warmth; the first duet performed last week was a little bit of a downer. This song, The Prayer, is often sung at a wedding, which is usually an occasion for celebration, and doesn’t necessarily need to be sounding sad, but only mellow. The lyrics is about asking for guidance and justice, and also peace and hope; the volume here is turned up in supplication for hope, and the result is much better. Good work, Cha and Michael!

Charice’s charm and good aura have made everyone Chasters, fans etc. infectiously interact with each other,(nonetheless,always for the sake of good) thus my reply to you auau. It is wonderful and truly cheered me up to have read such in-deep thoughts of your observations on Charice’s performances. i enjoy reading such comments and hopefully you will not stop sharing your thoughts. Thanks to you and thanks to the “little one”.

…But her deliveration of Stand up for Love, (mate,that…really hit me big time) simply reflects her mastery of David Foster’s song style and composition. albeit, matches her own mentor’s musical creativity genius.
Her interpretation was absolutely flawless,smooth,amazing.
…i could’nt say more friends ,fans and Chasters…just could’nt wait to press the replay button again ’till i sleep and again when i wake up in the morning. hay nakupo, surely,am Chaddicted. As to when would there be a another song better than S-UP-4-LOVE? Only but only “the little one” knows.
…p.s. patiently waiting in sydney.

Awww, I thought my comment was buried down under in the spam section. Actually, that comment was my fourth try (if I remember it right), and I just had to cut the term short so that it could be posted. It’s weird but comments coming from here are being filtered that we can’t use that terms (the “country” and “it’s people”) or else chances that our comments will be posted are slim (unless mods are 24/7 watching the spam section, or I’ll get their attention to release it,lol). Anyway, I don’t think that our J friends would mind that.

It happens to me too justcharrie & when I email Schoen, the reply was that my comments went to spam, lol.
I thought I was banned from commenting here but she said that they don’t do that instead they delete comment/s with offensive language etc…and told me to change my name as there are 2 Marie in here. but I told here that I’m not computer savvy & I like my Avatar very much because that photo was taken by my son. The only good photo he had so far & when I tried to take a photo of that bird (actually so many shots), she’s aloof & it doesn’t look good.
One time I chat here, somebody told me that I keep on criticizing Charice’ clotes, make-ups etc…which I never did. Yes, we have the freedom to express our opinion but please no negative as it really hurts! If you have suggestions (referring to the so called “CRABS”) why not contact Charice Team directly? You’re not only helping her career but also making her happy and that’s one way of showing your love to her.
Thanks justcharrie for opening this window to express how I felt to the other commentators. Cheers!
