What do these people have in common with Charice?
Madonna, the Queen of Pop who is also a legendary icon. Shakira, the hip shaking Colombian songstress. Eminem, the popular and controversial rapper (not the colorful chocolate candy kiddos). Prince, said to be the rival of Michael Jackson during the glory days of heavy eyeliner (raccoon inspired make-up?) and gigantic/teased hair (Yup, it’s the 80′s). Usher, the famous R&B singer/mentor of Justin Bieber and last is the very famous Beyonce who just recently gave birth to a bouncing baby bonita named Blue Ivy.
Aside from being famous celebrities and having their own unique talent, these group of people share one thing. They are all one hit wonders! Nah! Just Kidding. Obviously, they all have ONE name that they use as their identity in the world of entertainment. They are the same as our beloved Charice.
Recently AOL Music had a countdown on their website the TOP 20 artist who goes by their one name. Charice was at number 18. Others stars included were Selena, Jewel, Seal (whose real name by the way is Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel..pant! pant!), Rihanna, Adelle, Usher and more.
Actually there are more one name celebrities out there to be considered but the editors only picked the BEST OF THE BEST and Charice is the best!
For now she may be in 18th place on the list but ONE DAY (cue music and dancers) her name will reach FAR AS THE SKY and will be known to the NEW WORLD. Her music will be LOUDER than ever!
So congratulations Charice! You sure are LIVING IT UP!

I stumbled upon a pianist by the name of Sunny Choi. She was doing a cover of Charice’s “Pyramid”. At first I didn’t expect much. It turns out that Ms Choi is very, very talented. Not all covers have to involve vocals to be great.

‘Jessica Whitely performs Charice’s “In This Song” to judges who are stunned into silence by how bad it is. She exits with a threat to attend auditions again’.
One has to wonder what Randy Jackson was thinking. Randy is a chaster.

btw the reason Charice’s entrance was so exuberant was because she had already been on the Oprah show April 5 and here she was in London on April 8. The Oprah show was taped and shown May 12.

For me Charice should be included in all the music awards shows and I still want to see her on all the talk shows in the US and then I’ll know she is conquering the American market. But make no mistake, I will always have the utmost confidence in her talent and I want to be there giving her a standing ovation whenever I see her. She’s the best.

I was hoping Jessica would do well with this song because then we may have heard what some of the judges thought of the song. However, I hope that people do not get possessive of Charice’s song and start comparing her version to others who attempt it for the mere sake of proving her superiority (and in turn boost people’s pride to prove that Filipinos are the “it” when it comes to singing by god-given right). I am just happy that even with limited music videos which are normally no longer played on tv (other than Youtube) that some of her old songs are still on young people’s mind other than hard core Chasters.
As for Simon, I am not sure he would be brutally honest with Charice at this stage simply because she is no longer a contestant. I am not sure if Simon takes liberty commenting about singers outside these competitions but if Charice did compete at the time I am sure he would like it, although I think he may mention something about toning down the stage acting a bit to balance it out with subtlety and a little more training on some areas of the belting; something which Charice has now almost fully developed to perfection at this stage.

looking up the origins of her given names, one realizes that indeed, she was predestined for this …
Charmaine = “Singer” or “Song”:
http://nameberry.com/babyname/Charmaine
http://www.birth.com.au/parenting/tools/tools/baby-name-finder/baby-name-finder—details?name=charmaine&gender=f&origin=english
Clarice = “Famous”:
http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Clarice.html
and while the song “In This Song” was written for her, about her life, the name origin of “Charmaine” lends new meaning to the title and meaning of that song …

I was sorry for Jessica Whitely because it seemed like she wasn’r ready, nervous or didn’t practice enough, plus the song was probably beyond her range. She could have lowered the pitch a little and that would have helped avoid the screeching. She seemed to have a very pleasant attitude, and not badlooking either; only she didn’t connect with the listeners when singing. The way I see her she should try her luck as a stand up comedian, instead of singing.
Watching a contestant use Charice music for audition and having part of of her song/voice played on AI audition for judges to listen and compare, is a good sign I’m thrilled about; that means there are followers out there in the mainstream America that buy and listen to Charice music. So both julio and Nauba are right; very big time is very definite to happen for Charice and her music, just around the corner.

Charice has ENOUGH songs even her in old album to have a no. 1 song (let alone the new one). What is her management team lacking? Connections? Corporate sponsors?
Charice has gone very far for an Asian singer for sure in the UnitedStates, but this is a clear sign that there is still a long way to go when it becomes being accepted by mainstream and people of power that make it deem so.
She has the talent, she has the voice, she can dance, and even if her looks are not your thing, a good makeover can do the job…so what is the problem, here….
The issue is far more complex than it seems. Long live Charice!

Unsolicited advice…there was a question as to why we …people..keep harping about, etc., etc., as if under the assumption that the ultimate Chaster is the one that just keeps quiet and think everything is A okay…there was a question, then there was an answer, and then you make assumptions of the same order which is even far more presumptions that the one made here. Please.

Not unsolicited advice; more like opinions being written down here. Not bad really; it makes a lively discussion to fill up the time of otherwise our boring lives. I mean my boring life, I don’t speak for everyone, he he.

At the same time, beside the Museum is the headquarters for the Chasters around the world. Just imagine, the boost it can give to the Phil. Tourism, (we are dealing with million fans overseas) the inter-action of all the Chasters globally. Every tourist, wether balikbayan or foreigners will certainly love to see what is all about Charice, and likewise want to meet and chat stories with other Chasters around the world.
This idea can be elevated thru the support and funding of the Govt. or the Private funding among the fans of Charice around the world, or maybe some financial support from Charice’ management.
As a true fan of Charice myself, I will support with all my means whoever will undertake or initiate this project.
An elegant place, a good architectural design of the bldg. with monument of Charice and state of the art for the Chaster’s space, with bar, coffee, restaurant, playground, library for Charice pictures and files, a small theatre for all the concerts and videos of Charice, a music lounge, compilation of all her standing ovations, all her overseas trip, all her issues, her dresses and accessories, everything about Charice (Oh I love to see them and experience)
A reasonable entrance fee has to be applied which can be used for maintenance of the Museum and others for the Charitable project for Charice missions.
This is my ultimate dream for Charice. “One Day” it will happen. Generations after generations, years after years, Charice will be remembered forever and ever on this planet.

Me, I’d rather talk about Charice art and influence; as a symbol she’s got the power, and she can change humanity. I like to hear more from others who can think of broadening her influence so she can become like Oprah, or just close.

In business they say “you have to spend money to make money” and this is the truth.
In helping the needy you also need money. So money isn’t always the root of all evil, sometimes it is also a good thing.
Charice is smart and if she’s still working on that law degree then her education would help her build her own empire. From rags to riches….

So in 4yrs Charice’s networth is $15 million, if she continues at this rate, let’s find out what could be her networth in 30yrs.
30 / 4 = 7.5; 7.5 * 15 = 112.5; 112.5 + 15 = 127.5, so that’s $127.5 million (5,610,000,000 billion pesos, Exchange rate as of today is $1 = 44 pesos) Now let’s say a good size building in PI is about 1.5 to 2 billion pesos and then to transform it into a TV station, lets say another 1 billion.
Of course this is just an estimate and done to make a point that Charice could be the next Oprah…Pinoy Version…lol

“(The only Asian and Filipino artist who dominates the world music industry.)” — you should’ve put “Yet”
Filipino artistry and musical talent doesn’t start and end with Charice…
She will always be recognized no matter what but please give credit as well to other Asian artists (not just Filipino) who will eventually emerge in the World Music entertainment industry (not this time but maybe in 5 or 10 years or so)
I’m not bursting anyone’s bubble but let’s put a fine line between Idolatry and being a die hard fan. Peace fellow Chasters!

in reality, I think a theme garden restaurant would be possible. people can listen to charice in headphones, look at screens with her pictures and videos, while eating halo-halo or ice cream. plus a little concert lounge where they play her concert compilations on a bigger screen with good sound.

And the term “Shrine” may not be proper because shrine is a place of worship, pilgrimage, a holy place, memorial.
And whatever is new for Charice, can be updated regularly, say quarterly.
Your other suggestion, theme garden is nice also, however my perspective is something bigger, coz. Charice is International Sensation Singer/Artist, a role model because of her humility and down to earth personality. For me, Charice deserves this, as well as the Chasters.

This is a lovely idea, but I know it’s a long run. I’ve been thinking more of maintaining and expanding Charice influence. Influence first, legacy next.
