"Naku! Sanay na po ako sa ganyan kasi sa singing contest pa lang dati... Nung twelve years ako, sabi nila 16 naman daw ako. Tapos nung nine years old ako, twelve na raw ako. Ina-adjust nila," says Charice Pempengco when asked about rumors saying that she is already 22 years old.

hayan na naman ang mga ungasss na ito na nag bad commentss....huy mga ungas na talanka..!!!
CHARICE ignored mo na lang itong mga ungas na low-breed na ito..!!
KEEP IT UP CHARICEEE..!!!

oo nga, mukha syang 22 years old kc lapad ng fez nya hahaha. one thing lang kay charice, sana matuto syang i contain yung tendency na bumirit ng birit kahit the song doesnt merit it

Si Charice parang anak ni Eugene Domingo. Ang lapad ng mukha nya. Saka yung boses nya nakakasawa. Wala talagang katulad si Regine Velasquez. Sana makilala sya internationally.

c jonalyn viray maggguest din daw s oprah,.lols..tga bgay ng microphone..

Kaya di umuunlad kasi crab mentality nga at mababaw. Porke hind mukhang model si Charice dina-down. Yung mga magaganda diyan na wala namang boses sinusuportahan. It's sad to know that a true Pinoy talent was discovered abroad. Di bale. At least, dollar kinikita ni Charice.

I don't like her voice as much as I don't like her looks! But she seems nice..oh well goodluck!

i dont really like her like her but im proud to be pinoy bcoz of her and many talented artist in our country!

I loved Little Big Star because of Charice. When she lost in the competition, I did not bother to see the second season; I totally lost interest in the show.

This was under the bridge now, I know. I hope the organizer of the concert would reconsider. I believe CHARICE should conquer Araneta Coliseum first before she goes to the bigger SMX Convention Center venue.

dami pa ring bitter d2 di masaya sa achievements ni charice..guys gumising nga kayo ano pb need nya patunayan pra bumilib kau?ano bang narinig nyong difference sa live at cd?nangongo ba cya?o nag-boses bading?nakakatawa ka nmn.haha!

Note to God featured on Thai TV
__________________________________

Recently we reported that Charice made a splash in China when her video of ‘Note to God’ became a hit in that country’s version of Youtube, Youko. Actually, besides China and Korea–where she made her pan-Asian debut in StarKing–she’s slowly developing a sizable following in another Asian country, Thailand.

Her video of ‘Note to God’ was recently featured on Thai TV news. While you can say that that’s good that she’s getting some media exposure in the Land of Smiles, that wouldn’t be impressive if it weren’t for the fact that it’s the third time she’s been featured in the same news show. And consider that, as was the case also in China, there have been no promotions or advertisements about her of any kind in that country. It was simply through word-of-mouth and Internet buzz.

The first time she was featured was late last year when a full segment was devoted to her, introducing her to Thai audi

This really shows how popular charice is…More issues to come not only her age as charice is getting more and more popular around the world…Why these people so jealous with charice, she deserves all the blessings that God showered to her now and more in the future…She suffered a lot since her childhood days and God of course noticed it…
I really admire Charice and her mom by ignoring those silly issues coz they know that the more they hate charicethose who are jealous to her the more charice will get stronger… and stronger…
To Charice, pls don’t be affected to the non sense issues and stay humble always coz that’s what your good fans like you to be….
Always remember Oprah’s advice to you in the interview portion after you sang ”Note To God”quot; which was to ”keep your feet on the ground always, even if you’re wearing beautiful shoes” and even mentioned Celine as an example, who was also one of your idols…
Keep on soaring high with your dreams…Your multitude of fans always support y

PI is the land of rumors and intrigues! Charice is now a superstar and there will be more of this coming. Remember, some Pinoy writers earn their living doing this to create noise. Charice is a very smart girl; sensing this kind of bad publicity will make her decide to permanently stay in US. Philippines will always be there for her vacation but not for her professional career.

Charice Note to God now available on itunes and amazon music. Don't forget to get your copies.

HIndi mo siguro ma gets no ang ibig kong sabihin. No Doubt maganda boses niya pag live siya kumanta like sa variety shows or talks shows. pero naiisip ko lang dapat lalong gumanda ang boses niya sa mga albums kasi di ba pag recording maraming mga adjustments na ginawa diya para gumanda lalo boses ng isang singer. Pero ang nangyari nong pinakinggan ko ang cd niya eh para sounds like kumakanta lang sa sa videokay or singing contest. di ba sila juda and ara mina may album din sila pero iba boses nila sa doon, compare sa live performances nila na halata talaga na hindi maganda ang boses nila. so ang expectation ko ay dapat lalong gumanda ang boses niya during recording kaso hindi eh, para pang guesting lang ang boses niya.

at ska nga ba..ITONG MGA UNGASSS NA ITO NA NAG CCOMPARE SA IBANG PINOY ARTIST AT SA IBA..DI KAYA MGA BADING NA TALANGKA ANG MGA ITO?..CHARICE WAG MONG PANSININ ITONG MGA ITO mga nag BAD COMMENT .KC MABABA ANG BREED NG MGA ITO....nyahahahhah...cheeerssss CHARICEEEEEE.!!!

hello simply piss-y..simply lang ang solution dyan..manuod at makinig ka na lang ng concert ni charice..tapos pag sa radio naman ay makinig ka na lang ng gusto mong artist...oh diba?..ka simply simply lang yan simply pizz--yy..!! nyahahha

To be honest with you charice, ang boses mo ay maganda pag live. pero pag recording pangit walang touch of class at hindi nakaka engganyong pakinggan. I bought pa naman your cd pero na disappoint lang ako kasi ung songs mo sa cd sounds like nag vivideokey ka lang. Pang live ka lang but no for recording walang mass appeal.

sana di hakot at libre ang tao paramanood sa concert ....SANA DI FLOP ITO....

alam nyo dito sa pinagtrabahoan ko gulat na gulat ko nang ibinalita nila sa akin nang mga kasama kung mga caucasians at mexicans na sino daw yong guest ni Ophrah na Pinay na ang galing daw kumanta!Aba si charice, thumbs up sila sa galing, ow see mga kabayan , talagang magaling to si Charice talo ang American Idol.

charice pang live songs ka lang, hindi ka pwede sa recording kasi hindi naman maganda ung mga songs mo sa cd. parang nag -vivideokey ka lang. so be it, pang live songs ka lang hindi pang recording.

Mga kababayan suportahan po natin si Charice... isipin po natin na sa murang edad nya, naranasan na nya ang maghanapbuhay para pamilya nya, lumaki syang walang tatay na sumubayabay... kaya naman cguro pinagpapala siya ni Lord at binigyan ng singing talent... let's be proud of her... hindi lang sa kanyang talento pati na rin sa kanyang magandang pag-uugali!...

Ay naku Tray, totoo ka dyan. I'm from Toronto, Canada nag fly pa kami nang mga friends ko papuntang Las Vegas last May 9, 2009 just to watch David Foster and Friends para mapanood nang live si Charice and give her our 200 support sa ating kababayan. Pero itong mga pinoy dito sa Pep lalo na sa mga pinoy sa Pinas talagang mga utak talangka at mga ingitera. Yan ang totoo. Kaya Charice don't mind those people who put you down. Always remember that what you have is not only a blessing from god but also an extra-ordinary talent that god gave it to you. My only advise is don't change, stay humble and sweet. At saka sa mga tao dito na sinasabi na si Lea Salonga ay nag audition, of course kailangan niyang mag audition kasi they are looking for a person to portray for their musical broadway show. Si Charice hindi nag audition kundi napansin ang singing talent niya sa Starking nila Ellen, Oprah and David Foster. Eh, sorry na lang sa ibang filipino talents natin diyan sa Pinas probably wala silang appeal sa mga internati

Malapad lang ang kanyang fez kaya matanda tingnan pero whatever kapintasan man yun talo ng talent. Ang husay ng tirada niya sa quot; A note to God quot; Grabe.

siya nga pala.... hindi ka pangit iha... sinabi m kasi sa oprah noon na nireject ka sa isang talent search kasi pangit ka... don't believe them... for us you look beautiful... hayaan m lang sila, kasi ni 10 ng achievement mo di nila maabot. Marami sa mga nagcocomment dito, makapagpintas na, okey lang... pero marami sa mga yan, PANGIT INSIDE and OUTSIDE. Hayaan mo silang i defend ang self nila. Ang iba jan mataba, na pango ang ilong. meron pang butas butas ang mukha, may makapal ang labi, maintim na singit... imagine pag naglalakd ka sa Pilipinas, ilang percent lang ang maganda. KOnti lang po. I think 10 lang. Sa mga nakakaharap mong reporter, tingnan mo jan kung ilan lang ang pinagpala.. konti lang po. Kaya matuwa ka charice kasi nasa upper 10 ka pa rin ng mga Pinoy in terms of kagandahan

masaya kami sa narating mo. Yong mga ibang stars jan na kinocompare sa 'yo, na apprepriate rin namin ang mga yan, pero iba ka, kasi you make us cry when you sing...you inspire us, you move us.. which means there's a soul in the songs you sing. Not all singers can do that. Marami sa mga singers, magaling kumanta, but they can't make you feel the song.. mga technical singers sila... At hindi lang ako ang natouch.. marami kami. Pinaka natouch ako doon sa Madison Square na duet ninyo ni Celine... It moved me and the audience. Siya nga pala, nasa news ka naman sa Thailand ngayon. 2 times in a year yon. DI ka nga magaling kasi napapansin ka ng ibang lahi... hay naku.. PILIPINO GUMISING KAYO!!!!

*** This comment has been deactivated due to inappropriate content ***

charice, hwag kang maniwala sa swerte, maniwala ka sa blessing. You are blessed by God kasi mabuti kang anak.

yong mga detractors mo hayaan mo lang sila. we hope and pray maabot mo yong platinum status ng album mo sa US na ilalabas na sa October/November. We are happy na maganda ang pagtanggap ng mga tao sa first single mo sa US. Alam m ba na ang mga bitter sa Pilipinas, parang mawendang ng marinig ito? Pinipilit nilang ipagsisiksikan ang kanilang mga idolo na nasisiyahan naman sa naabot ng iyong career sa America. Lahat ng idolo m hanga sayo, ganun ring paghanga nila sa iyo. Kaya don't mind the detractors. Di m mga kalevel ang mga yan, kasi sa quiapo lang yan bumibili ng CD or di kaya nagdodownload sa limewire. Ang mga fans m, lumilipad from canada to texas mapanood lang concert mo. Ganyan ang mga fans mo!

Continue to make Filipinos proud of you. Don't mine those negative comments they are just jealous of you

wala pa ring tatalo kay regine velasquez...

kamukha niya c april boy regino...at hindi c sarah....pulleeezzzzz

nasasaktan talaga ako para sa batang to kasi wala siyang ginawang kasalanan sa lahat ng MAPANLAIT dito pero grabe ang mga comments ng lahat ng SOUR GRAPE at may crab mentality...utang na loob, pati bata ba naman na nagsisikap di nyo na tinatantanan? may mga nanay din kayo na nasasaktan pag nilalait kayo, kahit yan man lang isipin nyo, ok?

napansin si charice nina oprah at ellen kasi magaling siiya at tanggapin na lang natin un..

mga pinoy talaga, kahit kelan, di nagbabago...mga bitter kasi yang karamihang nanlalait jan, haay!

pakinggan niyo din boses ni charice, eh mas maganda pa boses ni sarah o ni kyla, talagang pinagpala lang siya....aminin na noh....

marina_28 agree ako sayo kasi siguro talagang lucky lang siya, kasi kung talagang talented siya di niya na kailangan sila ophra at ellen degeneres para magkaroon ng career sa usa diba, tingnan mo si lea salonga, nag audition talaga siya and siya mismo gumawa ng name niya broadway, not like charice kung hindi naman dahil kay ophra di naman siya makaka duet ni celine dion eh, pinakiusapan lang ni ophra si celine noh....

Hay naku Charice huwag mo na intindihin ang mga utak talangka na para lang ma-feel nila na patas ang mundo ay naninira sa mga taong blessed katulad mo. You have more than proven them wrong and sa international scene ka pa naging successful. Just keep on working hard and continue to be thankful to God. All you can do to those haters is to ignore them.

marina28 and gshock -mga bitterness! siguro mga furstrated singer kayo. masyado kayong mapanlait! charice may not have won the as a champion before and she may not be a tall girl but i believe she has the talent that she should be proud to compensate for whatever imperfection she has physically, which we all have. winning in a contest is not the only gauge of your talent and your worth. i am not even a charice fan here but you should be mindful of your words...can't you both just at least be happy for her without saying negative things?!?

457 madison_grace,

My advise to you: Don't look in the mirror before you go to bed so you won't have nightmares.

*** This comment has been deactivated due to inappropriate content ***

Kamukha nya si Sarah Geronimo infairness!
---------------------------------------------
anong infairness?kamukha talaga!

Marina28 - Nice recovery, but have you look at your self in the mirror lately? Let me know what did you see, ok.

napakabait n bata nito kaya cguro sobrang blessed xa...marami lng naiinggit jan..kya kung paiiralin nyo ung mga ugaling mganda di talaga kau papalarin sa buhay dahil sa bitterness nyo!!

just remember these 3 things Charice:
1. Look back to those who were with you in your struggling days
2. Look up to someone up there and
3. always keep your feet on the ground.

God Bless! we're proud of you!
