UPDATE 10/20 – Video added on Charice’s YouTube Channel. Video embedded below.

Only a few days after a Japanese TV show showed in advance Charice’s “Louder” music video, the official world premiere of “Louder” has arrived! No more squinting at the low quality copies uploaded on Youtube because you can now see the “Louder” music video in its full glory at EW.com.

Tim Cruz, the director of the video, previously announced the date of the world premiere on his Twitter account, after learning of the early debut in Japan:

From Entertainment Weekly:

Charice, the Oprah-approved, Glee-renowned singer with the teeny-tiny stature and the big big voice, takes a sassier tack on “Louder,” the second single from her upcoming sophomore album Infinity.

Watch below as the Philippines-born 19-year-old explores her dancey-diva side in the clip, choreographed by Gil Duldulao, the man behind the moves in Jennifer Lopez’s “Waiting for Tonight,” Janet Jackson’s “Together Again,” and “Christina Aguilera’s “Drrrty” and “Genie in a Bottle,” among others.

What do you think, readers — do you prefer Charice in saucy mode, or do you still think of her as the be-ribboned moppet who made sweet music with Celine Dion?

The official “Louder” music video has yet to be uploaded to Charice’s YouTube channel. Hopefully, her camp does this soon so that views resulting from the fans’ initial excitement/hysteria will be counted! The lyric video of “Louder” that was released five months ago have exactly 2,678,535 views as of this moment. For the official music video to be deemed successful, its views should definitely surpass 2.67 million, right? So Chasters, be ready to view and replay as soon as the video is up on youtube.com/charice.

Many websites have already published articles about the “Louder” music video featuring the low quality copies on Youtube. Most of the reactions were very positive especially when it comes to Charice’s dancing talent. If the pairing of her amazing voice and dance skills could be further developed, Charice will definitely be stronger in the pop music field. Below are some reviews from different sites:

It’s been almost a month since Charice wrapped up the shoot for her “Louder” music video, and the fans are eagerly awaiting its release. Her camp has been really mum about the exact date for the video premiere, and the only date we have now is sourced from a newspaper article in Doha.

According to The Peninsula, “Come October 5, Charice’s album ‘Infinity’ will be released first in Japan, while the much anticipated music video of her dance hit ‘Louder’ will be released in two weeks time.”

The first part is true and that has happened already, but the second part about the music video is still not confirmed. So we shouldn’t get our hopes up yet since October 2011 is kind of an early date for a music video release that’s part of a 2012 album.

For now, let’s just revisit the days when Charice was preparing and shooting her “Louder” music video. Below are photos and tweets that we’ve compiled and arranged to bring you some sort of an “MTV Making the Video” feature, so you can get more of a feel on what Charice experienced during the whole process.

Wardrobe

Charice and her new stylist Aaron (guy in the white shirt) got some clothes for the video. Photos posted by Charice on Sept. 7, 2011.

Dance Rehearsal

Gil Duldalao (@gilduldulao), the choreographer for “One Day” will still be onboard for the “Louder” music video. He is best known for being the long time choreographer of Janet Jackson. He’s the guy in the black shirt in the right-hand photo.

Charice also tweeted how tiring the fast dance moves that Gil made her do. You can see Charice slumped down on the floor in the photos to the right, while in the left, you can see her with two male dancers, @jpSanPedro and @Lakey_Boy.

The Shoot

Above are the numerous photos uploaded by the behind-the-scenes people in the “Louder” video shoot. Make-up artist Dusty Starks (@DustyWasHere) uploaded the topmost photo.

The photos on the bottom are from the director, Tim Cruz (@timcruzlovesyou). The mv was shot in Los Angeles at Smashbox Studio’s Stage 1.

The Video

Lots of fans were surprised (in a good way) with the “making it rain” photo (top-left) that @XieXieHome posted. The overall look of the video is definitely not what everyone expected, but Charice looks great and surely, everybody is much more excited to see the final mv.
