On February 12th, a Chaster named “Amsterdam” re-uploaded a video on Youtube where Charice was singing the so-called Bodyguard Medley (I Have Nothing and I Will Always Love You) accompanied by Mr. David Foster on the piano.
Amsterdam’s video description:
No copyright infringement. This video belong to the right owner. Please visit the original uploader (CHAMU Chaster’s from Canada). Take note that Charice is crying because this is the last tour concert with her friends. This is only a fan made for Whitney Houston and Charice. Youtube link Whitney Houston [ RIP ] from 17 yo – Charice in tears , 2009 concert
Original Video from Chariceweekly:
Actually nothing unusual, Chasters have been uploading, re-uploading, editing videos of Charice, we’ve seen them all. But of course this was a very touching performance that made a big impact even to a long-time fan like me: Schoen’s Blog. Because I don’t think it’s easy to sing while trying to hold back her tears at the same time. So emotions just poured out of this very tiny body.
As Amsterdam was paying tribute to Whitney using this video on Youtube, one site caught it and featured it as “Female Cover Of The Week: 17-Year-Old “Charice Pempengco” From The Philippines Does Whitney Houston Tribute & She Did That!” Site link: World Star Hip Hop.
That was February 13th, so far so good, nothing special….yet…. until this:

Yes!! Mr. Perez Hilton featured that same video on his site on Feb. 14th and twitted it. And we know he has millions of followers right? The video went viral as “Charice’s Whitney Houston Tribute”.
Different online sites followed, here`s our complilation starting with Hollywood Life’s Charice Performs Epic Tribute To Whitney Houston In Concert and they even added an Update:
(UPDATE: It turns out this video is being inaccurately sent around the internet as a new tribute video, when it was actually filmed back in 2009. But it means so much more now, so I’ll let it slide.)
Kfox95.com featured an additional video where Charice performed “I Will Always Love You” in a Japanese show:
Source Link: Amazing Charice Memorializes Whitney Houston
Then Popcrush.com followed: Charice Sings Whitney Houston ‘Bodyguard’ Medley with David Foster
Jackfroot.com: The Most Talented Girl in the World Pays Tribute to Whitney
Then from AMP Radio.com: Charice Whitney Houston Tribute is Absolutely Stunning.
From Wpix.com STUNNING Tribute To Whitney Houston By Filipino Teen Sensation.
The video even made it to the Top 5 Whitney Houston Tributes alongside with the legendary Aretha Franklin on International Business Times Whitney Houston Death Tribute.
And of course Glee’s Wetpaint.com site can’t miss Charice too: Charice’s Stunning Tribute to Whitney Houston: Former Glee Guest Star’s Tearful Performance.
Since Chasters love to vote – there’s even a poll going on: Who Sang it Better? So Chasters if you want to vote, visit the site.
Chasters have then started twitting and re-twitting the video and the rest is history. She was 17 years old that time way back in 2009. Judging by the positive reactions and comments to the video, it is very clear than people have been touched or amazed or even just enjoyed watching and listening to her.
Charice could really give justice to a Whitney Houston song. Of course, Chasters need not be convinced how talented she was when she was younger and still is at this stage where she learned how to use and control her voice to her advantage. Contrary to other negative twits about Charice using Whitney’s death to push her career now, just letting them know, inform yourself first. It’s not her fault at all if news are being written about her on this.
Note: A viral video is one that becomes popular through the process of Internet sharing, typically through video sharing websites, social media and email. Wikipedia

I stumbled upon this video by Hertzblaster who is a genius at editing and combining videos. This is probably the best Whitney tribute by Charice that I have seen so far.

You just can’t please everybody! You’ll always have these “haters” but we (Chasters) knows BEST! No matter what they say, she’ll always be number 1 to US. Just like wine, she’ll be much better in time….but I don’t know how much better…she’s there NOW! She just need exposure in the US, and her time will come. It took at least 3 years for all the great singers (ie. Celine, Mariah, and Witney) to grab the attention of the so-called music industry. Just be patient…her talent CANNOT be denied! Let’s get serious here “haters”, do you know of anyone that can sing like this? I don’t think so….enough said!!!

Charice will always be the same inside, kindhearted, humble and giving of herself. However, we mush accept that her voice is maturing and songs like the bodyguard medley will not be sounding the same as when she was 17 singing in Vancouver.

Well frankly so many years now the Bodyguard medley by Charice has been one of my all time fave. But to point out that her renditons are not always sung the same way and to the present her style and voice are still evolving for the better.
presently she is R%B because her management team wants her to target a certain market niche. however a few more years down the road she will again be belting out ballads and big songs.
Now riddle me this. Who aside from Charice in the near future can sing with conviction and aplomb songs from the repertoire of the super divas of the past?
So the future bids well for Charice. She is like excellent wine awaiting further vintage to be more exquisite and priceless.
By the way, there isn’t a video out there documenting the meeting of Whitney and Charice is there?

But it could still happen. I think it’s just one of letting her voice really rest between concerts. that her concerts hopefully will be spaced out well by her manager for this important consideration, that it’s not just all about money. Otherwise, losing her voice becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The ticket is $1,000 and up. Look in http://www.davidfostermiracleconcert.com/ for more info. I still cannot see who the guest performers will be. But, Charice picture keeps appearing at the top.

General tickets to this star studded concert will be available soon from http://www.selectyourtickets.com
Entertainers featured on this site are representative of past performances and not yet confirmed for this.
So, the general tickets will probably be a lot cheaper ($100). If they confirm that “Charice” will be there then it may be worth it for people who live near Vancouver or Seattle by taking the ferry from either city. A cheap place to stay is the University of Victoria; they operate bed & breakfast from May to August.

we can only speculate but the idea that charice was able to hit the high notes e.g. lighthouse in studio version means she can still hit it. The point here i guess is to stop fabricating stuffs.
