Whenever I watch Charice Pempengco in YouTube, she never fails to wow me. In fact, even if she sings the same songs in her various TV appearances, I don’t really mind hearing them over and over again. Oh, I’m such a fan. Why not? She’s a Filipina…like me!

I first saw her in the Ellen Degeneres Show wearing an all black outfit and I cannot believe she’s only 15 years old! Then she went on to sing the Philippine National Anthem in the Invasion:Philippines vs. The World at the Araneta Coliseum wherein even the emcee was blown away. And now…well, she will be in Oprah!

Charice is the first ever Filipina to guest in Oprah Winfrey’s show. However, unlike in the Ellen Degeneres show, Charice does not have the limelight all to herself in this particular guesting, which is perfectly ok. She will appear with other gifted children and the Oprah’s teaser makes me super excited to see them all! I believe this will be aired on May 8, 2008…so mark your calendars!

For those who share my enthusiasm and admiration for Charice Pempengco, I think you’ll enjoy watching (again?) her past international performances. I also included the Oprah’s teaser which got me all excited.
