There comes a time when your mind fails you. It commences when the
billions of neurons in that skull start to shrink, and so do your mental
faculties. Like focusing, for instance.
Like a drift wood caught in a sea cyclone, I resigned myself to my
fate. Free fall for both, like Newton's apple dropping on his lap.
CHARICEPEMPENGCOThe Most Talented Kid in the World once again WOWed the audience at the Shangrila Plaza Mall. She is slowly but surely gaining the admiration and respect of her countrymen. The show is similar to the one she had in Eastwood City last year.
Chasters (Charice devotees) supported their idol and have proven that their presence cannot be ignored anymore. I just hope that their devotion to Charice will translate into Platinum album sales.
This is a strategic move for Charice to subtly promote her first US ALBUM to be released this year. Her album sales may be slow in her nativeland, but let's hope for the best that she will at least, hit the GOLD record mark in her so-called US Debut.
In Eastwood, Charice's opening number was And I'm Telling You. This time she sang David Foster's arrangement of I Will Survive. She is slowly veering away from the songs that were also popularized by Regine Velasquez. This is a good way to show loyalty to her idol Celine Dion. Since Regine has a vast collection of covered songs, it's just difficult not to compare Charice's versions of the songs she performed that night. Listen... Watch & ENJOY!
I'm wondering if we can have our own version of Divas Live? So instead of sulking and waiting for the impossible to actualize, I have the following performances uploaded.Happy Holidays! ENJOY!
You big disgrace I've got the feeling and I'm willing tonight Well I ain't nobody's angel Credit is bad So why dispute me and waste my time
We are beautiful no matter what they say Yes, words won't bring us down We are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring us down Don't you bring me down today
Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan
Sa kanyang kilos at galaw tayo ay naaaliw Sa ating mga mata isa lamang siyang baliw Ngunit kung tayo ay hahatulang sabay Sa mata ng Maykapal, siya'y higit na banal
Don't be afraid to stand up when you fall To try and strive until you've given it all And don't be afraid to learn from your mistakes Don't let your spirit break and put you down
There's a spark of hope to guide you Just believe in what's inside you Someday all your wishes will come true
(If you/When you) hold on, hold on to your dreams Don't ever give up no matter how hard it seems Until you see the sun come shining bright for you Hold on till your dreams come true
Dare to be strong and weather all the storms It's time to cast your doubts and fears away Stand brave and tall, through troubles great and small You'll beat the odds with just a little faith
There's a spark of hope to guide you Just believe in what's inside you Someday all your wishes will come true
Until you see the sun come shining bright for you Hold on till dreams come true
When you're down and out you must begin again Until you finally reach the rainbow's end
Note: Here's a RARE live performance of Hold On To Your Dreams. I think it's a B5, if not an A5
Seeing Charice's Billboard made me realize that she's like a younger version of a veteran actress. Voila! Her face reminds me of Chanda Romero. She's being tagged as a world phenomenon. Oprah simply calls her the World's Most Talented Kid. A part of me gets confused and disoriented whenever i hear this phrase. How can a 15 or a 16 yr old be considered a KID?
Now, I can't help but notice Charice's fascination with hats. It's just soo 90's, reminiscent of the late Ten Ten Munoz and Regine in her younger years. The only fashion accessory missing are those overtly thick shoulder pads. She should stop using those hats especially in humid venues. Also, she should consider sporting other clothing labels. Snoopy is just a brand for kids and pre-teens. She must learn to evolve. I'm sure that she will---soon.
I'm still editing and will soon be uploading the videos. So for the meantime, I will just rant and rave.
