Halos katatapos lang niyang pahangain ang mga Italyano sa pag-guest niya sa singing contest na Ti Lascio Una Canzone (click here to watch video) sa Sanremo. Italy, heto't Stateside na naman si Charice Pempengco (o mas kilala bilang Charice sa U.S.).
Sa kanyang pagbabalik sa Tate, pinahanga niyang muli ang mga Amerikano nang kantahin niya ang U.S. National Anthem na "Star Spangled Banner" sa Dodger Stadium sa L.A., California, para sa opening ng Dodgers vs. (San Francisco) Giants game noong April 13, Lunes (click here to watch video).
Through her YouTube account's email feature, kinumusta ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang 16-year-old singing sensation.
PEP: The Italians loved you in Ti Lascio Una Canzone, so pagkatapos ng appearance mo doon, dumiretso ka kaagad sa U.S.?
CHARICE: "No. After po ng Italian guesting ko, umuwi po ako ng Pinas. Spent Holy Week sa Tagaytay po. And then after that, pumunta na po ako dito sa States for the Dodger's game."
PEP: Did they contact you, o yung manager mo ang nag-book sa iyo doon? Who is your manager, by the way?
CHARICE: "Someone saw me on Oprah and then they emailed my manager, Marc Johnston. They invited me to sing the American National Anthem."
PEP: Sinu-sino pa ang mina-manage ni Marc Johnston?
CHARICE: "Me, Andrea Bocelli and David Foster. We have the same manager..."
PEP: Kumusta nga pala ang Chipmunks movie mo? What is your role nga pala doon?
CHARICE: "Okey naman po ang movie. It's not really a big role. It's gonna be shown on December 25, 2009, sa States, and January 2010 sa Philippines po. My role? I'm gonna play as myself. As Charice, rival singer po ng Chipmunks. He-he-he!"
PEP: So, ano pa ang dapat abangan ng mga fans mo mula sa iyo?
CHARICE: "I'm continuing my recording and working with David Foster right now for my debut album here in the States. And siyempre, abangan pa po nila ang mga next gigs ko po..."
