Is Charice becoming ingrate?

2011-05-18T01:28:00.000-07:00

My favorite newspaper is philstar and I WAS a subscriber online. But then suddenly, it vanished when i realized they don't escrutinize most of the news coming from them especially when i read the column of Ricky Lo about Charice Charice has been gobbled by 'American System' (click link for full story).

The article was written with lack in research, lack in information and lack of substance. Much so, the article has been written without the opinions of both sides (Charice & Gurfinkel), and Ricky Lo relied on another newspaper (Abante Online- Jojo Gabinete). In addition, I found out Gurfinkel is a Star columnist, the same as Ricky Lo. This fact only proved that Ricky Lo is helping out Gurfinkel to ruin Charice' image. Obviously, the article is biased and i lost my respect on Ricky Lo.

To further explain this issue, let me post the opinions of some people whom I thought is exactly the true masterpiece of a responsible writer.

JOSEPH JAMES BRINKER Wrote:

am quite confused with Ricky Lo’s article berating Charice of becoming ingrate. He added that her ‘NEW FOREIGN ADVISERS” told her that as a 19-year old, she should be independent just like most Americans 18 years and and over, and to learn adapting with a new set of values and realities- distancing her from people who have been instrumental to the success Charice is now enjoying.

Are these accusations, observations or inferences? Charice owes her success to hard work, powerful talent, creativity, discipline and luck. If there is one person she owes her accomplishments, that is none other than her mother.

A person who helps others and expects reciprocation is ruthless. My mother has never once said that we must return the favor for the painstaking task of her rearing seven children. Helping others is a self-actualization phase of our mortal existence. We do it for its best intention and not for gaining guarantees for future reciprocity.

Charice is working in an American-based company. She is still in the process of maintaining her rising fame as an entertainer, and Lo’s suggesting that she should tell her NEW AMERICAN TRAINERS to accomodate the Philippine entertainment politics is ludicrous and irresponsible. The NEW AMERICAN TRAINERS have placed their all-out support to a Filipino singer, whose exemplary singing talent had been ignored in her home country for not possessing the physical attributes that Filipinos deemed as a star material.

I hope that Lo could divulge the GURFINKELS’ grievances against Charice and her family. Is it about a payment for service done that remains unpaid? Is it about Gurfinkel’s wanting to be CHARICE’S entertainment lawyer in America? Did Lo write this article to gain more readership even if these allegations were fictional or subjective, ignoring its negative effect on Charice?

Ricky Lo’s writing incites unjustifiable hatred against CHARICE, whose phenomenal rise in the international entertainment industry did not happen without tragedies, despair, discrimination, being scorned and losing hope. Her young life was a cruel narative resulting from poverty and polluted social topography. Mr. Ricky Lo and the Gurfinkels demonstrate a MENTALITY that promotes rotten values of a society, keeping elitism among the few privileged and ignorance among the many least fortunate so boldly devastating towards sachiieiving social maturity and economic equity.

I believe “utang na loob” is reserved for those who did NOT get a penny for helping. Was the immigration documentation help extended by the Galunggong Garfinkel all for free and extended from the sincere desire to help or for the publicity and opportunity to be associated with an upcoming (back then) international star? Were they not paid for the “help”?

To Charice and family, specially the mom…my utmost respect for not engaging in an exchange of words with the Galunggong lawyer. It is indeed sad that they are so bold in attacking Charice knowing the girl has a lot of breeding and decency and will not fight back because she is actually showing utang na loob. Thats more than enough for the likes of them who by their treacherous actions have rendered the Utang na loob paid in full.

Prayers for Charice and family, for strength and faith to just move on and not be dragged down by these stupid senseless people who just want to milk her dry. They never did anything truly nice to Charice back then until Ellen and Oprah paid attention to her! Geez…what utang na loob are they expecting?!?!

really hate that ” utang na loob” thingy. If you wanted to help just don’t expect to much a payback. If they want to help just dont expect a payback.. ang kitid talaga ng utak ng mga pinoy lalo na mga press people..

Very well written guys, you earned my respect. Having a mind like these people will help boost the 'utak talangka' of most filipinos. No more hilahan pababa, no more envy, no more insecurity.... just love.

Charice Brightens up Christmas Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center

2010-12-01T02:03:00.000-08:00

Charice, Glee’s Sunshine Corazon, performed in front of half a million souls who flocked to New York’s Rockefeller Center for the nationally-televised 78th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Event. She breathed new life into classic holiday favorites that wowed not only New York but also the rest of the world.

The LIVE Performance

Charice, sporting a tweed coat, red gloves, a new chic hairstyle reminiscent of Japanese actress Chiaki Kuriyama, delivered another flawless performance of “Jingle Bell Rock”, replete with the vocal acrobatics that are a rare sight (or sound?) in today’s massively auto-tuned music industry.

“She was great! That song is a fav [favorite] of mine,” said United States Ambassador to Thailand Christie Kenney.
Charice also effortlessly yet soulfully sang “Grown-up Christmas List”, one of the songs in her 3-track Christmas mini-album. Charice sang this song with so much emotion that some members of the audience claimed that they were brought to tears.
Natalie Morales, one of the show’s host, exclaimed, “Wow! That is my all-time NEW favorite Christmas song!
Charice’s 3-track EP mini-album, which includes the song “Grown-up Christmas List”, is available for download on Amazon.com today.

Star-studded Line-up

Charice was part of a powerhouse list of performers that included both music legends and the most popular stars of today.
Mariah Carey wore an elegant red dress that resembled a classy poncho when she pre-recorded her Rockefeller Center performance a couple of days back.
Another surprise of the night was a duet from Katherine Jenkins and the young star Jackie Evancho, whose soprano voices lift everyone’s spirits.
Kylie Minogue, Sheryl Crow, Annie Lennox, Josh Groban, Jessica Simpson and Britain’s Got Talent finalist Susan Boyle also performed on Christmas in Rockefeller Center, NBC’s New York City kickoff to the holiday season.

Technical Glitch

Discussion boards were abuzz right after the “Jingle Bell Rock” Performance, because of a technical glitch that caused an unrelated song track to accidentally play during Charice’s performance.
The anchor just introduced Charice to the nationwide NBC audience. As the camera zoomed to Charice, a Boyz II Men track was suddenly played for approximately ten seconds. The New York audience was confused.
David Foster, who was to play the piano accompaniment, took her mic and said, “LIVE TV, are you having a great time? There ain’t nothing like live TV here in New York City. We’re gonna get this right in the next 15 seconds. So stay right where you are, hang on.”
Foster handed the mic back to Charice. About five seconds later, the magic started.

Scott Honsberger, who was watching the show, tweeted, “Backing track failed. She froze. Foster grabbed the mic to say sorry. They got the track going again, she started…”

After self titled album "charice" released in the USA last 11th May 2010 on the Oprah Show, pyramid single included in the album was released in the UK on the 3rd week of September 2010.

Charice Beats Beyonce’s Run on US Billboard Hot 100

2010-10-03T00:31:00.000-07:00

As expected, the pilot episode of American hit show Glee’s Second Season sent another set of tunes to the higher echelons of the US Billboard Hot 100 – with two songs featuring Filipino teen singer Charice Pempengco.

Aside from giving the YouTube sensation two of her highest-charting songs yet on the tally, the feat also allowed her to surpass a record of R&B/pop singer Beyonce – when Charice’s Glee cover of “Listen” charted higher than the former Destiny Child singer’s original.

According to Billboard, Charice’s heart-stopping take on “Listen” debuted at No. 38 of the latest results of the Hot 100 Chart. In comparison, Beyonce’s original version –featured in the movie musical Dreamgirls – ended up on a much lower spot on the Hot 100 Chart, at No. 61, when the song was released in 2007.

Meanwhile, Charice’s other Glee cover, Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s catchy song “Telephone,” landed on the much higher 23rd spot of the same Chart. The original version became a Top 3 song for Lady Gaga and Beyonce earlier in the year.
