Charice: The new YouTube sensation

Nothing seems more amazing than when a teenager makes a huge scene in the music industry. It’s even more amazing when they have a story like Charice Pempengeo’s.

The 18-year-old from Laguna, Philippines, started her music career by entering amateur singing competitions to help support her mother and little bro. When a fan from one of the competitions put videos of Charice’s performances on YouTube, she became an Internet phenomenon.

Charice’s first visit to America was back in 2007 when Ellen DeGeneres invited her to perform on her show. Fast forward three years and the singing sensation has already performed with cutie Justin Bieber on The Oprah Winfrey Show and released her self-titled debut album last week.

Loaded with songs that have a relaxed, poppy vibe, the tunes showcase Charice’s outstanding vocal ability. Our faves? “Pyramid” and “Nothing,” which have amazing dance-worthy beats. Then there are songs like, “Note to God,” which show a great deal of honesty and rawness.

Despite all the praise Charice has gotten for her larger-than-life voice, she remains a down-to-earth role model. Having performed in many charity concerts, she’s helped spread environmental awareness in the Philippines and has even become an International Youth Ambassador for Operation Smile.

Check out Charice’s new CD and get to know the voice that so many people are talking about!
