Excerpts

Long before she became an Oprah fave and a YouTube phenom with millions upon millions of hits, she was a little girl in the Philippines who sang in town fiestas and talent shows to help support her family financially. She posted videos of her performances on YouTube, and went viral. Millions of people saw her performances, including Ellen DeGeneres, who invited her to be on her show. She wowed the crowd with her renditions of “I Will Always Love You” and “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going,” and the president of the Philippines – along with the rest of the world – wanted her singing for them.

Fast forward a bit, and Charice found herself on Oprah Winfrey’s show “The World’s Smartest Kids,” and Oprah got right on the phone with superstar music producer David Foster. Foster invited her to perform in a show where she met one of her idols, Andrea Bocelli. Fast forward again, and here’s Charice singing a duet with Andrea Bocelli. Now, everyone wants to share the stage with her, including Celine Dion, who invited her to perform a duet of “Because You Loved Me” with her during her own concert. Charice dedicated that performance to her mom.

Charice released her first international single “Note to God” which climbed up the Billboard charts and paved the way for her to sing with David Archuleta. The album and club remixes of her hit song “Pyramid,” which featured Iyaz, hit the # 1 spot on the Billboard Dance/Club chart, making her the first Asian ever to have a hit in the top 10.

What’s next for Charice? It’s just been announced that she’ll joiin the cast of the hit show Glee. Considering how popular Glee is, that’s millions of new fans who are going to fall in love with Charice… and we have a feeling there’s going to be a high-ranking spot in an upcoming issue of 20 Under 20 for this singing sensation!
