After years of struggling in the music scene, Charice is
proving her bankability as a singer now that her self-titled debut album has
reached the Gold mark, which translates to more than 12,500 copies.
Last October 5, the 16-year-old belter was honored by ASAP ‘08 with a special segment highlighting the memorable songs that have been part of her colorful career so far.
The young singer performed with Martin Nievera, Gary
Valenciano, Sarah Geronimo, Rachelle Ann Go, Yeng Constantino, and Sheryn Regis
for songs like "I Will Always Love You," "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going,"
"I Have Nothing," and "The Prayer."
Vina Morales and Zsa Zsa Padilla also rendered the song "Because You Loved Me"
during the tribute segment to Charice.
Rachelle Ann expressed her admiration for the international star by clapping her hands in admiration of Charice's powerful voice that filled the ASAP stage.
"It can only get better," goes the lyrics of the song, which is the album's
carrier single. Indeed, it can only get better for the young singer who is
slated to perform for the Andre Agassi Grand Slam for Children Benefit Concert
on October 11 at Wynn Las Vegas.
Star Records promo unit head Nixon Sy and managing director Annabelle
Regalado-Borja were both present to hand over the Gold Record award to the
young singer. "You've come a long, long way. You make us all proud," says the
female music executive. "This is another milestone in your recording career."
Gary Valenciano praised Charice by saying, "Binuksan mo ang pintuan para sa iba
pang talented singers para magkaroon ng pagkakataon na mag-shine abroad."
Charice the album, which contains six tracks and six minus-ones, is now
available in record bars nationwide courtesy of Star Records.
