Charice Pempengco to sing in Barack Obama inauguration
International singing sensation Charice Pempengco will dedicate two songs to Barack Obama before he is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America.

Charice will sing “God Bless America” and “One Moment in Time” at the pre-inaugural ball on January 18 at the Grand Hyatt Washington Hotel. She left for the US last Friday, January 16, in preparation for this historic event.
After the pre-inaugural ball, she is set to stay in the US for almost three months to record her first international debut album to be produced by record producer and composer David Foster.

Natatandaan ko pa nun c charice nung makalawa xang sumali sa little big star hosted by sarah geronimo kung saan sa una e natalo xa at ang kantang pinanlaban nya e ung shine ni regine velasquez at nung panagalawang sali nya e napasama na xa sa finalist at nakalaban nya c sam concepcion at ung isa na hindi naman magaling naging pan third lamang c charice nun…It means hindi lang talaga marunong ang abs na magdiscover ng talent ng isang tao….nung nalaman na panginternational na c charice e panay na ang sip sip ng channel 2 ……..haha!!!hoy wag kaung magmalaki dahil yang batang yan e sumikat sa sarili nyang pamamaraan at hindi dahil sa inyo kapamilyuckzzzzzzzzz…..

ang kapal nitong manlait ng ABS
eh bat ka nanunuod ng kapamilya shows?
it just proves na.., nanunuod ka ng ABS
hakhak
January 20th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
^^ i strongly agree with you….. they have no right to claim charice as one of their own because ABS is a disgrace in choosing talents… they just suddenly come in when the talent is already known or has achieve something… they let money talk…what a bunch of aholes…
January 21st, 2009 at 2:14 pm
hay naku!
alam nyo,ganon rin ang GMA kung kailan lng sumikat tska papansinin.tulad na lang ng namin sa PHILIPPINE GROUP OF DANCERS,KASAMA KO SA GROUP NA YAN HUMINGI NG TULONG SA GMA pro binaliwala lng kmi then nung nkahingi kmi ng tulong sa gov. ng aurora isabela dun nakapunta kami ng Tonga,dun lang nila kmi na recognize(napalabas kmi sa CBN4)

i guess….i thought mananalo si charice cuz she’s excellent…but when the finals came…me and my fellas got shocked with the result. we got disappointed by that but i am quite sure as well that the criteria in choosin who’ll be the winner had been laid off properly.
you know how sucks the taste of our fellowmen,porket gwapo gusto….di bat ganan din ang nangyari sa pinoy idol, nung tanggalin halos lahat ng mgagaling…..?it’s the people’s choice who’ll stay..its not the network…
and lil big star has a criteria of 50% votes;50% scores from the judges..it’s just simple math mates…
with all the comments stated against both channels…it just shows..how dumb we are not analyzing things..=)..but this can still be prevented, just think first even just a bit before you say somethin

I think the news is wrong about the date of her performance. Charice DID NOT perform during the inauguration of Obama. She did not even perform in the pre-inauguration ceremony attended by the new president and his wife and a number of celebrities that was televised in the Philippines on HBO. She only performed in one of the pre-inauguration balls that were held in the Washington DC area. I don’t which particular ball it was. I never read anything about it after this news bit. So I’d like to hear from her where and when she really performed.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:06 pm
i’m just wondering why…. theres no actualazartion performing or appearances
of said charice pempengco on obamas inuaguration ball …… and where she sing
that song for god bless america or americans… i cant take this wrong sumpormession
i mean pormession. i cant say … what i say…..
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:31 pm
ha anu yun…. sino ba ang naninira kay charice na yan…. isa lang ang ibigsabihin dyan.
di nila alam ang puyding gawin ni charice sa kanila……kayo ba.. kaya niyo ang kaya kong gawin.

tumbling ako sa ganda ng sentence construction nung adora of king khalid blah blah..hanggang ngayon di ko pa din siya makuha.huhuhu…crap!
January 22nd, 2009 at 11:27 pm
OO nga.
One of the Obama’s Inauguration ang tamang term.
Kasi hindi naman siya ngperform sa harap ni Mr president.Sa harap ng filipino community with the sis of Mr. President Obama.
But still,Its a Big Honor for All of us.
Mabuhay!

To clarify your confusions this is really what happened. Charise did sing “One Moment In Time” sa one of the Pre-Inaugural Event ni Barack (he wasn’t there). I personally went to the Pre-Inauguration Concert which was held at the Lincoln Memorial but she was not one of the performers. That was the only reason why I went kasi akala ko kakanta siya so I was a bit disappointed. On Jan 19, nag appear siya sa taping ng show ni “Oprah in Washington, DC” which was held at the Kennedy Center. Kinanta niya ang “God Bless America”. Again, I was so disappointed kasi hindi siya kasali talaga sa show. Pinakanta lang siya just before the show started at hindi pa naka tape. How do I know all these? I live in Washington, DC and I was one of the audience of the “Oprah in Washington, DC”
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:59 pm

January 23rd, 2009 at 3:27 pm

I’m a fan of charice and also a kapuso supporter.. and pwede ba let’s have unity.. walang mangyayari kung pati s mga singers d tayo magkasundo.. what more s mamumuno sa bansa?
January 23rd, 2009 at 3:35 pm

ang sama nman ng ugali nyo! ang sabihin nyo naiinggit lng kayo kay charice… dapat nga proud pa kayo sa kanya kasi national pride sya.. pareho sila ni manny pacquiao, MAGKAMUKHANG MAGKAMUKHA… hahaha!
January 27th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
mga tao nga naman
to those fakers who don’t belong here in the elite class of KAPAMILYA…MAGTIGIL KAU!
….even before you say something make sure that you’re sure of it! duh! myrna! you’re such a crackpot! you should have search for the video yourself…bka ndi ka marunong magsearch sa web! lol! you’re such a loser for believing in hearsays! mga kangusogma7, mahilig maniwala sa mga imbento at ilusyon…well let me just orient you! let me present the reality- in case nasa outerspace ka! charice did sing! pag wala kang alam sa cnasabi mo wag ka ng sumabat!
..grabe na nga nman ang nagagawa ng kasikatan, kadaming naghahallucinate,pati looks ni charice icompare daw sa mukha ni obama…respeto naman kahit ndi niyo kilala ung tao…pero dun sa mga nagcocomment ng bad kay charice, don’t expect me to respect you!
January 27th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
and please with due respect to other people kahit ndi natin kalahi or kapwa Pinoy wla namang bast***n
pero mabigat pa rin kasi president ng isang bansa ung nababastos…kahit pa anong bansa yan…may mataas na ranggo po c Pres. Obama. He’s not supposedly included in this kind of discussion, pardon me sir for including your name…
…anyway…
….un lang…
to charice
don’t expect that you can please everybody but then. just be strong and you’ve got an immeasurable support from your Kapamilya..ignore the bad publicities…take it as a challenge and don’t ever let it ruin your blossoming career.
good luck…stay your feet on the ground
…God bless:)

kapamilya tunay__
asa ka pang magiging humble yang charice nayan..tingnan nu nga mukha nun..di nyu nahahalata na pinipilit lng nyang magpakahumble…di nyu ba yun na-notice?…hay buhay nga naman…kung saan yung pangit yun pa ang binibenta!!!
February 2nd, 2009 at 9:57 am
Bulay-og
Muka mo ang tingnan mo … tyak saksakan ka ng pangit, di lang sa muka pati sa ugali… INGIT KA LANG as in mamatay ka ingit LOL …
Yung bata nagsusumikap na mapagbuti ang sarili, ikaw pinagbubuti mo ang manira … Hindi ang pagiging humble in charice ang atupagin mo kundi ang MASAMA MONG PAG-UUGALI.

Actually Charice performed in a ball dedicated to the memory of Martin Luther King and I think one of the sons of MLK was at the event and was moved by her performance. It was not a ball related to the Obama inauguration or pre-inauguration. It is still an honor nevertheless. I’m not a fan of ABS nor of Charice but I think some of the people here badmouthing Charice are just here to troll and you can tell they have no breeding whatsoever. So please don’t pay attention to them. They thrive on you people reacting negatively to what they post here. They do not deserve your attention so why dignify anything that they say. They are trash, plain and simple. Don’t go down to their level.
