THE MELODY BEHIND

CHARICE

THIS `LITTLE BIG STAR’ HAPPENS TO BE THE `BRIGHTEST STAR’ IN THE UNIVERSE CALLED ENTERTAINMENT. BY JORGE S. LLANES

In the show Good Morning America, David Foster mentioned that Filipina singing sensation Charice Pempengco has the ability to mimic other people’s voices, which, according to him, is a characteristic of good singers. While Josh Groban said that Charice’s voice is one of the most beautiful voices he has heard in a long time. The New York Post once called her a vocal prodigy for being able to sing `big songs’ even in her tender age.

Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, otherwise known as Charice, is the hottest singing sensation in the country today, who, not only captured her kababayan’s heart with her powerful magical voice but also the international audience. Born on May 10, 1992 in San Pedro, Laguna, Charice together with her younger brother Carl, were raised solely by their mother, Raquel.

To help support the family, Charice began competing in amateur singing contests at age seven, from town fiestas in their province of Laguna to several vocal competitions on TV. She is said to have joined over 80 singing contests.

Little Big Star paved the way for Charice to claim her stardom. Eliminated after her first performance, she was later called back as a wildcard contender and eventually became a finalist. Although she was a consistent top scorer in the final rounds, she only finished in third place via SMS voting.

It was in 2007 that Charice gained worldwide recognition when an avid supporter started posting videos of her live performances in Youtube. The videos garnered millions of hits making Charice an internet phenomenon.

Charice’s star continues to shine when a music publishing company in Stockholm, Sweden invited her to do a demo-recording for Ten Songs/Productions in 2007. She recorded seven songs – six covers and an original song entitled “Amazing”. A few of these songs were rerecorded for her self-titled Philippine album, Charice.

After a video of her singing the Dreamgirls anthem “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” became a hit on a Korean video sharing website, Charice was invited to the South Korean talent show Star King. On the October 13, 2007 edition of the show, she performed “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” and “A Whole New World” with Kyuhyun from Super Junior. Ellen DeGeneres extended an on-air invitation for Charice to be a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show after seeing her Star King performance on Youtube. Charice flew to the United States for the first time and performed on the December 19, 2007 episode of the show two songs – “I Will Always Love You” and “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going”.

After her appearances on Ellen, Charice made a second appearance on South Korea’s Star King as the “Most Requested Foreign Act” on the December 28 edition of the show. She performed Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” and had a duet with singer Lena Park. Her international recognition continued to endure when she became a guest at the April 8 episode of the The Paul O’Grady Show in London, England.

Her self-titled Philippine debut album Charice was released in May 2008. The mini album, consisting of six songs and six backing tracks, was awarded gold certification in the Philippines in October 2008. The album was eventually recognized to have achieved platinum status in 2009. Charice appeared on the May 12 edition of The Oprah Winfrey Show in an episode entitled the “World’s Smartest Kids”, in which she performed Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing”. It was through the recommendation of Oprah Winfrey that music producer David Foster took Charice under his wing. She performed with Foster for the first time as one of the entertainers on the May 17 opening of MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut.

She made her debut on the international concert stage on Foster’s May 23 tribute concert, Hitman: David Foster and Friends, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. She performed a medley of songs from The Bodyguard as well as her standard, “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going”. A CD/DVD of the concert, which included Charice’s The Bodyguard medley, was released on November 11, 2008. The show was aired several times on PBS and other public television networks starting in December 2008 under the Great Performance banner.

One of the other performers at the concert was Charice’s idol, Andrea Bocelli. Bocelli subsequently expressed interest in performing a duet with Charice and personally invited her to be a guest on his birthday concert “The Cinema Tribute” held on July 20 at the Teatro del Silenzio in his hometown of Lajatico, Tuscany, Italy. Aside from her solo performances, she also did a duet of the song “The Prayer” with the famous tenor in front of more than 8,000 people.

Charice was invited to perform for the Feyenoord’s Centennial Anniversary in the Netherlands held on September 26. Before a crowd of about 50,000 football (soccer) fans she sang the team’s anthem, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

Charice made a second appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on the September 9 “Dreams Come True” episode, in which Oprah referred to her as “The Most Talented Girl in the World.” She sang Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” with David Foster on piano, then Oprah went on to surprise her with an appearance by Celine Dion via satellite, who invited her to sing a special duet at Madison Square Garden as part of Dion’s Taking Chances Tour.

She performed her promised duet with Celine Dion at Madison Square Garden in New York City on September 15. They sang “Because You Loved Me,” which was dedicated to Charice’s mother. The performance received rave reviews in The New York Post and The New York Times. The duet was eventually featured on the September 19 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Charice also performed at the October 11 Andre Agassi Grand Slam for Children Benefit Concert at Wynn Las Vegas. It was at this event that she met one of her musical influences, Mariah Carey.

In November, she appeared on Good Morning America with David Foster to promote David Foster’s tribute album, Hitman: David Foster and Friends. She performed The Bodyguard medley and “I Will Survive.” At the end of the month, she performed “Because You Loved Me” on the Good Housekeeping Showboat float at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In January 2009, Charice performed at two presidential pre-inaugural events in Washington, D.C., namely the Martin Luther King Jr Realizing The Dream Gala at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and at the Pearl Presidential Inaugural Gala at the Mandarin Hotel.

In February, she performed at two post-Oscar award events, Oscar Night at Mr. Chow’s and Oprah’s Oscar After Party. She debuted a new original entitled “Fingerprint”, which was written by Robbie Nevil and produced by David Foster.

For the third time, Charice made an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on the May 18 “Finale: Oprah’s Search for the World’s Most Talented Kids” episode. She debuted her first internationally released single “Note to God”, which was written by Dianne Warren and produced by David Foster. The single was also made available for digital download on the same day and debuted at #24 on Billboard’s Hot Digital Songs chart, #44 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, #9 on the Hot Canadian Digital Singles chart and #35 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. Later that same month, she was again invited to guest at Ti lascio una canzone for their May 23 finale episode and the May 30 gala episode.

Charice staged her first major solo concert dubbed Charice: The Journey Begins on June 27 at the SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia, Philippines to a sold-out crowd. Her guests included Christian Bautista, Kuh Ledesma and Little Big Star finalists.

Charice contributed to two Christmas albums in 2009. The first as David Archuleta’s duet partner for the song “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” in his Christmas album entitled Christmas from the Heart. The second is a compilation Christmas album entitled A Very Special Christmas Volume 7 in which she contributed her own rendition of “The Christmas Song”.

Before her American performances, it was reported that Charice never received any formal training apart from informal voice lessons from her mother.

Special Thanks to

Ms. Grace Mendoza
