Indeed our greatest treasure ever; Charice is back again in her home country for the X Factor Philippines.
Last May 14 Charice arrived in Manila showing yet another tattoo, which reads, “I never knew true love until someone broke my heart.” Awww!! Tissue please. Oops wait; before you guys starts to cry…sorry but Charice won’t be sharing her story.
In relation to her new ink; according to her whatever she does (putting tattoo on her arm) It always has a meaning. She does not do something just for the sake of doing it.
“Pag naglalagay ago talagang may meaning. Kasi ayoko na naglalagay nang basta-basta na lang. Bakit ganyan kasi ganon. Actually it’s a true story but I’d rather not tell the story. I know a lot of people kapag nabasa nila ‘yan makaka-relate,””
You’ve got to love me for what I am for simply being me…as the song goes by the Carpenters and the same can be said for Charice. With her new and edgier look, the most talented girl in the world couldn’t be happier.”I’m extremely happy. Unbelievable! Like I could cry! Showing my tattoos, showing my hair, showing my outfit, I feel more free,” as she told the press.
In addition she also stated, “What you see right now is the real me. What you see before wasn’t me. A lot of people around me like in the US, like in here, they didn’t know what I really want. They were deciding for me. Like they were deciding, ‘Let’s do this, let’s gonna do that, do the curly hair.’ I didn’t get the chance to decide for myself. Now that I’m being so independent, while it’s early, I really, really want to tell all the people that I don’t care if you hate. I don’t care if you don’t like it,”
A lot of people also has been questioning about her sexual orientation and Charice has this to say, “I don’t care whatever you think. As long as my fans love me and support me forever, I’m good with that. Whoever stays with my until the end of my career or whatever, those are the people [who trust me]. The others that still have doubts, questions, who are confused… I will understand.”
As for Charice’s haters, what are her parting words for them? “To all my haters? Hello!”

I was devout Charice fan previously. Now? I just don’t know anymore. Before I get attacked here, let me explain why.
In this aarticel charice did mention that in her past she felt that she was’nt the person she really want to become. Likewise she stated that she doesn’t care what other people think of her now.
Lastly, she started dressing up like a boy,…..sans hair and attire. For anyone here who says otherwise that she isn’t, then tell me what style of dressing-up is this anyway? Those tatoos are dead give-aways……not feminine designs but angsty tbird statements.
Charice the artist is fine, but Charice evolving into someone we don’t know anymore is another thing. I supported her in her previous persona but not this one. This one is a complete stranger to me.
Lastly, with this change and mind you she seems not to give a damn, but curiously, after thie metamorphosis, news and events about her seem to dry-up. tell em what is her next big thing for a little while?
This is the backlash from fans who were utterly shocked in Charice’s rveleation from a sweet but plucky inncoent girl to a blooming tomcat. Impressions do last and that enchantment just broke and those mesmerized then are now wide awake.
Charice, you are 20 yers old now, your novelty of being a child singer days are over. As an adult, you are fair game to other better adult artist than you. before being a ingenue’ and prodigy made you very special….but as an adult?
If you have maintained being what you were before, perhaps legions of your adoring fans would not abandon you. Those whos stay are just blind fanatics and die-hards.
Adios muchacho(masculine)…enjoy your new found gender!

Charice is a lesbian? Really?!?! Maybe not… 8[]
I sometimes style my hair in a cool Asian boy cut [those Japanese or Korean rock band/celebrity/etc.], I am not a lesbian though :9 believe me, I fantasize about Sasuke or Itachi or Kakashi or Minato or Orochimaru xD and I am 21 years old, only 1 year older than Charice. But why do I really fancy making myself look handsome? COZ THOSE HANDSOME BOYS, WHOM I HAVE CRUSHES TO, ARE MY IDOLS! What would some die hard fan do sometimes? Copy their idols. Now I have a new idol added to my list…the cosplay goddess Miss Alodia Gosiengfiao!!! Shes the new one I’m trying to copy 8[) i.e. Dolly eye contact lenses, double eyelids, exercises, (thanks to her coz she motivated me to workout, now my abdomen is shrinking! Ahaha ahaha)
In short, there is a probability that the source /influence of Charice's fashion statement came from an idol of hers. For the hairstyle, we can link the cool female character from final fantasy 13
being lesbian is not the only reason why a person would cross dress or dress boyishly/tomboyish.
When I was still twisting my long hair to look like a shorter boyish cut, I was a die hard fan of L'Arc~en~Ciel, a J-rock band. And because they walked so cool[and manly], I assumed the same walking style, thinking that I would look cool as well, but when my crush’s polo sleeve brushed my bag[I was so attentive, it was like I felt the sleeve touch my bag xD] I rushed[not so manly anymore, more like wobbly, jelly-like :0] straight to my classroom and gushed about it with my friend.
So let us all think first before accusing someone of something. Get some solid proof. It is almost like saying you saw a UFO when what you saw might only be a flying ang glowing toy of someone who wants to play a prank :9
I’m rambling, I’m sorry.
Idk, I’ve almost been carried away by all the negative comments that I read, that I was beginning to think negatively of Charice and lost interest in Charicemania, but I just love Charice. I can’t ignore her >`<
SasuHina ftw!

I think you are on denial if you think that no one from your region (US and Canada) is criticizing and attacking Charice. I think in fact most of the malicious attacks are coming from somewhere overthere. You might not comparing her to any other female singer from the Philippines but you are comparing her to Arnel Pineda who is a male singer from the same country with lots of tattoos also. So what do you have against Charice staying in the Philippines for as long as she so desires and not trying to have a successful career in the US and the world at this point of her life?

Again totally misunderstood and taken out of context. Plus arent you satisfied with her acconplishments? No pinoy have done it. In regards to arnel, he is a grown man and he has issues before…Drugs remember? Try not to be critical on Charice and your life will be less stressful. Be happy!

Funny how some of Charices fans thinks that the world should revolve around Charice…They think that they are so stuck on Charice that they are the only ones that can relate to her. Their little brains thinks that they are so inside the box with Charice that if you are not with them, you are so with David Foster and his followers just because they are suggesting her to improve her looks and her health…

That being said, when you’re in show biz some of it is an act and there are times when you have to wear different costumes for the appropriateness of the performance or appearance. For example at the “Red dress” event she was at in NY, or a duet with Bocelli you have to play the part. Some performers have upwards of ten or more wardrobe changes when they are on stage and with wigs and dresses it’s easy to do.
Final thing is sometimes to be tactful. There are different ways to say things to get your point across – straight to the point or sugar coated. Just saying if you apply a little honey, you can still explain yourself without offending. When she says “I don’t care”, it comes across as kind of harsh. If she said something like “I respect your opinion, but I have to do what’s right for me – what I feel to make me happy”, then she would be saying the same thing for the most part; with less possibility of alienating some longtime fans. There’s certain times when to go hard and other times when to go soft. Just my opinion.
Anyway, I will continue to be a Charice supporter and I look forward to seeing her in concert when she comes to my area.

That’s too many tattoos, and not even attractive. I hope she knows how to cover them when she get’s hired to work on another movie. Charice is probably going through a phase of a successful teenager who has made a lot of money, and she’s living it up a little. I remembered a story about supermodel Paulina Poriskova when she was young and very much in demand, experiencing success, she would do table dancing when she went out at the clubs. Remember also when Angelina Jolie was a bit wild at first? This is probably the equivalent of that, Charice is becoming a little brat, wanting to experience being free for the first time to do anything she wants. It’s probably gonna taper off when she turns twenty-one. I suppose she has to get it out of her system. Let’s just hope she doesn’t go overboard and do more things she will regret later on.

basta ako, even thou Charice change the way she looks, she is still the same Charice I used to love, admire and served as my inspiration. Even thou she change her style, she’s still the number one Charice I know.
Every shadow has a doubt
But there’s a light they can’t put out
And it’s shining through the clouds
I think that Charice’ evolution stems from an event in her life. What it is? Who cares? May it be a change of hairstyle or a tattoo, I see it as a way of marking the start of something new…an evolution. Look at KC Concepcion. I’m pretty sure a lot of us have gone through something similar….marked an event in our life by making drastic changes. I know i have. She actually reminds me of a girl who cut her hair short and got a tattoo when she got her heart broken….me! So lay off Charice and let her evolve! She is young and has yet to experience life to its fullest. What more now that she can relate to all these songs. I just can’t imagine!
I hope she won’t waste the talent she’s been blessed with. I hope she realizes before it’s too late. May God enlighten her mind and make her a better person. Look back so it may guide you towards that ultimate dream of yours.

Fans have the FREE WILL to be INSPIRED by Charice. We can attempt to “will” her to become responsible for our children, but that is not going to happen, unless she chooses to be. Charice will continue to evolve and vibrate towards her inner desires. People who do not have the same vibrations with her will just fall off from her radar, and new ppl with like vibration will join. Simple law of attraction.
I am an observer of Charice, and I delight in what a see. In itself is an experience. A sharing of true Love & Joy. Peace to you all.

“And growing out of her squeaky clean child star days was truly liberating”.
Sound familiar? That was Miley Cyrus in today’s Yahoo news answering her critics as to how she dresses. Miley is 6 months younger than Charice. Perhaps this type of behaviour is typical of girls that are leaving their teen years behind. I have a daughter(now 35) who upon leaving high school did some things that I did not approve of but I have to say it was a phase that she soon outgrew. Please be patient with Charice.

It seems to me Charice is really hurting… i don’t like her tattooing all over her body – maybe in ten years she will feel differently – then its gonna be painful taking erasing those tattooes. Recall Angelina Jolie?
When you are an artist – you should care about your image that you are projecting, though. People work so hard to arrive at a certain level and you don’t want to alienate those fans if you want to stay where you are.
There are true artists though that really don’t care how they are perceived since it is more important to them to express their authentic selves.
I think Charice is the latter.
Wishing Charice all the best. I will keep her always in a special spot in my heart.

I say to hell with these superficial Charice fans. Charice gave you guys an ultimatum, either stay as her fan or leave.
This is a sign that Charice don’t need you, superficial Charice fans. She has more fans out there. Rotten few don’t matter.
You dare tell her that she needs to change back to the old Charice, this is her true self.
After what she’s been through with the harsh reality that PI media didn’t accept her purely bcoz she looked so ordinary and now you have the nerve to give your so called opinions that she’s done a big mistake in showing who she really is.
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!
Superficial love, two words that best describe the way some of Charice’s fans here have for her.
Some of you guys say YOU’RE DISAPPOINTED, well how do you think Charice feels now that she knows that her so called fans are superficial and hypocrites.
Not long ago she was the best thing that ever happened and now after A HAIR CUT AND A TATTOO, you people are ready to crucify her.
WOW…it’s like witches hunt centuries ago all over again.
LOOK AT YOURSELVES BEFORE YOU JUDGE OTHERS!
IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, LEAVE…WORDS OF CHARICE TO YOU!
GOOD RIDDANCE! YOU SUPERFICIAL FOOLS! GET LOST!
your right anna!!!!

Although people were deciding for her before… Tha hair and all…She does looked pretty, and classy especially when she’s with David Foster.
Her look now does look comfortable for anyone, especially when you travel a lot, and perform, it does feel comfortable…Even for me. But fashion calls for an occassion. I hope that from time to time she will change style from this to classy looks. It shows also your versatility especially if your an artist. My 10cents.
I really love Charice but i must admit that thisdrastic change of her image shocked me. But like what she said there are reasons behind everything she does, i will certainly trust that. No matter what i still believe in her music, her talent and her personality being the same sweet girl the world has known her.. Ill continue to support her against all odds
whatever reasons you will justify will not erase that charice is a lesbian. a girl who wanted to become a boy.isn’t it very obvious.her sexual preference has nothing to do with her being an artist.she is simply a TOMBOY.
