"I just got invited there because Pyramid is no.7 on Billboard dance remix and i really had to go there to promote it. But bottomline, David just showed his support for me. and i wanna thank him," says Filipino singer Charice (right) on her Twitter account about inviting American Idol Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta (left) to a gay bar in New York City last weekend.

Muling nabuhay ang pagdududa tungkol sa sexual preference ng American singer na si David Archuleta. Nakita kasi siya noong Sabado, April 17, sa Club 57, isang trendy gay bar sa New York City.

Mabilis na nagpaliwanag si David sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Twitter account. Ayon sa American Idol Season 7 runner-up, nagpunta siya sa Club 57 dahil sa imbitasyon ng kanyang kaibigan, ang young Filipina singer na si Charice.

"Last night in New York I got invited to go and see my friend Charice perform. Mental note to self: always ask where before you go! Wasn't my kind of place lol, and I had no clue! I guess you live and learn. The upside was that Charice was awesome, and she has an incredible voice.

"Hope that clears things up!

"Been seeing some of the tweets.. sheesh!"

Ang Twitter din ang ginamit ni Charice sa apology nito kay David. Hiyang-hiya si Charice kay David dahil nasangkot ito sa isang kontrobersya. Ipinaliwanag ni Charice na nagpunta si David sa Club 57 bilang suporta sa kanya dahil magkaibigan sila.

Ayon kay Charice, "Before i go to my interviews, i just want to clear up some things, about the Saturday night. David went to see me there perform as a friend. I am really thankful to have a great friend like David...thank you for the support.

"One more thing, i just got invited there because Pyramid is no.7 on Billboard dance remix and i really had to go there to promote it. But bottomline, David just showed his support for me. and i wanna thank him."

Tinanggap agad ni David ang apology ni Charice. Pinasalamatan niya ang kapwa singer at nag-apologize din siya.

"Aw haha thanks Charice! Sorry for causing any problems, I know you didn't mean to cause any confusion :)

"I have nothing against anyone, I'm sorry if that's how it came across. I'm just not into the partying scene lol. I have friends who are gay, and they're great people. Whether they're gay or not doesn't change how I think of them. 

"Charice is great and she didn't mean to do cause any harm haha. She apologized a lot after. She's way nice lol," sabi ng 19-year-old singer sa kanyang Twitter account.

UNDERAGE. Hindi lamang ang pagpunta ni David sa gay bar ang pinuna ng U.S. press. May mga bumabatikos din sa mga nagpapatakbo sa career ni Charice dahil pinayagan ito na mag-perform sa isang gay bar, kahit 17 years old pa lamang siya.

Mahigpit na ipinagbabawal sa U.S. ang pagpapapasok ng mga menor de edad sa mga bar.

Naka-post na sa YouTube ang clip ng performance ni Charice sa Club 57. Kinanta niya ang remix version ng "Pyramid" at ang "I Will Survive." Habang kumakanta si Charice, makikita sa background ang mga shirtless gay customers ng bar at dalawang lalake na magkayakap.

    Well ang Pilipinas ay hindi pang international ang standard kaya hindi pasado sa kanila ang quality ng talent ni Charice. Kaya rin bihira lng ang maka penetrate sa international scene...

    im sayin about the spreading chismis about david amp; charice is not invented chismis.
    i guess ur saying about Charice performing in a gay bar is a good move... Well its part of Charice program because her target market are the all ages/genders in the community. Not much carrier move to talk about coz its given already. Everyone is her market.

    02:19 AM palengkera Ay hindi po carrier move ung ginawa na yan!
    ---------------------

    Huh?! Charice perfomed in the club, right, ergo: it's a career decision. I don't care about the coverage on david arch's first gay night out. Having said that, I am now expecting the LGBT community to gravitate towards Charice now, so, at the end of the day, twas a good career move, albeit, too early in Charice's life. What's next for Charice? Perhaps she can perform in every Pride Weekend Celebration all over the country this coming summer. LOL!

    palengkera Ay hindi po carrier move ung ginawa na yan! Ayun sa source nag-hesterical ang mga Filipino fans ni David Archuleta. Dahil sa galit nila kay Charice, umikot ikot ang issue hanggang mapunta sa topic na kabaklaan daw ni David. Kaya ayun. Ang sabi pa Filipino fans of David Archuleta made the issue burst into mess. Walang kinalaman ang managment. At isa pa. Kaya rin nandun si David dahil nakipag meeting siya sa isang song writer producer ni Charice. So David is on for possible future project with Charice. Wag kau mag-sabi na imbento ang Chismis na ito, dahil hindi ito ginawa ng management, yang mga fans na yan ang exage... Huwag ninyo itulad sa mga tsismis jan sa Pilipinas na puro imbento.

    Para claro, nagapologize si Charice ni David. Not because pumunta sila sa gay club not bar. But because as a friend - na concern din siya sa uncomfortable situation ni David. Yun lang. In the first place, this is the 2nd gay club she already sung in. The first was in Washington D.C. with Debra Cox after they performed at the Cherry Blossom Parade...
