“Manila, Manila. I keep coming back to Manila. Simply no place like Manila. Manila I’m coming home!”
Yes. That is a famous Philippine song and it’s very appropriate for Charice as she came back to her home country to bring joy to our hearts and ears as well! So people thought they’d go to a concert but end up coming home from a wild party!
As soon as Charice set foot at Ninoy Aquino International airport, there were only two new hot topics: her new short, dyed hair and her fresh tattoo! Reading the comments on Twitter, it was so unbelievable how they attacked her “literally”! It maybe true that Charice can’t please everyone but do they have to be so mean?
Charice sporting a very cool tattoo on her left arm bought the house down! Everyone was screaming happily. (Hopefully, Chasters throats are okay) The audience were also singing and dancing! (Even with left feet!!! LOL!)
Charice should have been nervous before going on stage at the Araneta Coliseum because of the pressure the press and the numerous Twitter (yes she was trending again) comments addressing her new look! She’s finding her style, experimenting on her own way, let her be. She’s still in the learning and developing phase of her life. Being true to herself is what makes a person happy and human. And we know that Charice indeed is very talented and whether some of her fans and detractors will like her style or not, her confidence alone is very amazing.
Let’s check a few highlights of the Araneta dome party
There was a very cute moment when Charice’s sang Lighthouse with her aunt.
She showed her amazing versatile voice, her dancing skills, she was comfortable moving on stage. That’s the new (and old) Charice!
In Love So Deep
Faithfully
Run The World
Non-Chasters who attended the concert were converted, (they just couldn’t deny her talent), something they’ve not seen yet on local artists. Chasters were even more surprised and amazed. This is not a DFF concert, it’s her solo concert: her own style, her own renditions, her interactions with the audience, everything was well-planned on stage.
There was an added bonus of course in the form of Charice’s Little Big Star pals namely Makisig, Ralph, Kyle, Gian and Sam Concepcion in which they sang “Moves Like Jagger”.
The most anticipated duet with Iyaz whom they renamed as “Ayas” now?
They witnessed a world-class talent! Sorry for those who missed this chance, better luck next time. It is indeed a different feeling experiencing her perform live, she’s one of a kind that will give you both goosebumps with that unique voice!
There’s no denying it, it was a phenomenal show from a phenomenal artist named Charice!
So what else has made this tour special? Her rockin’ band! Each one of them is so talented (not to mention good looking!) that the girls were screaming and cheering for them as well.
The Band with Heartbreak Survivor
A toast for Troy – kampaii! My goodness, every Chaster should watch this cool guy in action – he’s unbelievably talented!
Charice and KC Concepcion who would both judge the Philippine version of X-Factor.
Finale -Charice’s signature song from Whitney Houston, “I Will Always Love You, Pilipinas kong mahal, mga kababayan ko.”
For those who couldn’t make it, well you’ve missed witnessing the best live voice of the most talented girl in the world. Overall it was fun, she was a rocker, a balladeer, a dancer, hip hopper, showing her own style like no other musician out there can do right now. Charice is so versatile, incomparable in any sort of song genre! So her image change is almost minor but very fitting on this tour.
To our angel Charice you will always be tattooed in our hearts!
Special thanks to Manette153 for the great videos and Princess Serena.

If Charice ever decides to sing a ballad type song on tour from her Charice album I would love to hear her sing “All I Need To Survive” written by Carole Bayer Sager, ex-wife of Burt Bacharach. Charice sung a complete list of her songs from her album once and only once @ the Glorietta Mall back in May 2010. Until In Love So Deep the only other songs I have heard from her album were Pyramid and In This Song.

Thank you for loving Charice’s “angelic voice” even if you don’t like her “new style of dress and the tattoo.” Let’s keep supporting her to the top.
See you around in the Chaster community!

Jay,
Deep down I know that you love Charice. Don’t worry about Charice. We need to give her credit that she knows whats “great” for her career. Remember that she is a “laser beam” and has a terrific work ethics. David has probably taught her the equivalent of 4 lifetime of knowledge in 4 years. Let us enjoy and share her to the world (young and old) and continue to be amazed by her music. Peace.

It could be lonely at the top, and life is too short; life just goes too fast. She at least should have friends to have a more or less normal life. For instance she could be friends with Lea Salonga, and support each other by showing up at each others opening or even have concerts together. Charice can also have older friends, like Susan Roces, who also had a much rounder face when she was young, and possibly learn from Susan how she handled success at the very early age(though she was helped by studio in those days), and even things like clothing and hairdo. Chasters have been talking about how Charice acquired a few millions of dollars; I think that money can be put to good use by having and spending some of her money on friends, because truly good friends inspire, and could make life worth living. I read about Leonardo di Caprio who fly his friends(like Toby and David) where he worked, and how sometimes that’s stipulated in his contract; Charice can probably do the same, because being around good friends makes you feel human. Word of warning: no fair weather friends, no just all yes people, and no friends in the payroll. Above all, no friends with people whose habits and behaviors are out of control. Be careful, but go have some friends.

Enjoy going to her concert. I’d like to ask some Chasters who can afford the ticket price to go to Lea’s concert as well, and perhaps Lea’s fans can go to Charice concerts in return. That’s how support and loyalty are made.

One thing I have observed with Lea Salonga ia that she sings very economically if that is the right expression for what I am trying to say. That is she does not embellish her music with belting, and uses extended notes only if required. In other words she knows that she has nothing to prove. She is a master at her craft and is able to set the mood with every song.

Some of her get ups remind me of Tina Turner and Rod Stewart, which is actually not bad at all. Again I would like to remind everyone who question Charice predilections; Tina T and Rod S were very androgynous looking, but nobody ever called them lesbian and gay. So we all just have to wait when Charice falls in love to tell how the cookie crumbles, and when she does and announces to the world, I’ll be ready to celebrate. As for now I’m content to see Charice loving who she is, and her journey to be a full fledged rock star. By the way it would be nice to see Charice shimmy in bugle-beaded dress a la Tina Turner’s Acid Queen in rock musical Tommy; once in a while that would still be in character with being a rock star. Even wearing a long gown will be a pleasant variation, as the lead singer of Scissors Sister has done, and also as Kelly Clarkson has done in both her concerts and music videos.
The new tattoo is still ok in character category, so I don’t mind, but I wouldn’t like her to overdo it because of the pain of putting it on, and the pain of removal later when she no longer wants it; I really think that trend is going away soon.
This is just another beginning/evolution, and I expect to see more; I would like Charice to start co-writing her songs that are true to her life story and her own feelings.
As Forrest Gump said, life is like a box of chocolates, and I think Chasters are very happy with what they’ve got out of the box. Congrats Princess, and break a leg for the rests of your Infinity Tour concerts!

The one I know who is best in performing duet is Sarah Brightman, who has done duets with Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Jose Cura and many others; I suggest she should watch Sarah’s video and perhaps she could learn. Other duets of Charice that were ok were with Jackie and Cristian, who are still kids, so maybe Charice should pretend(as in acting) she is singing duet with another child, because she seems to connect easily with children.

Its only in the Philippines questioning her gender because there are many conservative type in the PI. but in some other country specially japan.. its natural.. new generation now a days dressing like men like women.. Women got short hair and men got long hair..color hair is common, young women normally used rugged snaker shoe wiht t-shrit. Charice is a versatile and still young teenage singer and her management want to try with the new trend in the music industry. Her infinity song is more on R&B rock song than a ballad..
She has to choose either to lose some of her conservative fans of their age 50 to 70 but gain some fans of 10 to 30 years old.
This is management strategy to capture young audience which Charice don’t have compare to justin beiber.. For me even if im much older.. i like her rugged style rather than dancing like michael jackson with dress like maria clara or night gown dress. Anyway she can go back anytime as before.. But she is the most versatile singer known worldwide international caliber. So she has to try any possibilities
