Charice Pempengco...

I've always thought that Philippines has great musical talents. Spending a couple of months there last time I've enjoyed going to the clubs around in Alabang in the evening and just listening to their live bands. Their female singers especially have great range and voice control. Listening to the radio's also you can listen to such a varied range of music, unlike here which is very genre specific, even though there's a radio station that's called MIX....

Anyway this might be some pretty old news to ya all but I juz heard Charice Pempengco... and it's stunning... coming from a 16 year old girl. She has been featured in many of the US Talk shows like Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey, etc. etc. and her rise to fame can be attributed to You Tube!

This is a recent performance she made during the David Foster Tribute. Sit back and enjoy, I thought her stage performance was a lil lame... but ignore that and juz listen to the voice oozing with class!....
