I saw it on Oprah. Just uttering those words makes me want to go buy a mini-van and turn in the rest of my precious teenage years for a new Volks wagon complete with a husband and three kids, but it's true. I met Charice Pempengo earlier on this year on the Oprah Winfrey show where she performed her new hit single "Pyramid" with Iyaz. I must admit, as I sat there and watched here belch out every note, I was taken aback. I couldn't believe that such a big voice was coming from this tiny woman (yes, a woman, she's eighteen). So like the good mini journalist my teachers have taught me to be, I searched for her on Youtube and found more videos that confirmed what I was thinking. Charice can sing, and she doesn't need technology to help her at all. She's been singing for a very long time, and started off singing to earn money for her family(for bio click here). Now she's being paid to sing and will you will soon be able to see her sing along side the members of Glee when she joins the cast in an upcoming season. I will admit here and now that I am not a fan of GLee. I've ony seen 1 1/4 of an episode of it and could not see what was so great about it. Then I saw this and had to say that these kids really do have talent. I'm sure Charice will fit right in with these kids, although I do believe she may steal the spotlight from time to time. Who knows, I just may watch this show when it returns. below I listed some other videos of Charice singing:
she's a little gangster on this one isn't she?
Now I love this song because of her. Skip to 1:53 to hear her sing
Charice as a child
Forgive me if I was misleading, I saw her perform while I was at home.
