Charice / チャリス - Charice / チャリス

フィリピン出身のポップ／R&Bシンガー、チャリスの全米デビュー・アルバム。デヴィッド／フォスター、ダイアン・ウォーレン等の制作陣が参加。

Exclusive US 2010 album (different than her self-titled album released in Asia years ago.) In 2007, a web-savvy fan began posting a series of Charice's performances on YouTube including appearances on the Filipino talent show "Little Big Star" and the popular South Korean talent show "Star King." She instantly became an authentic internet sensation attracting the attention of American TV shows. Appearances on the Ellen DeGeneres Show were followed by several performances on the Oprah Winfrey Show. "You are a force to be reckoned with. That voice comes from something bigger than yourself," raved Oprah. Enter 15-time Grammy winning producer David Foster who invited Charice to perform on his David Foster and Friends PBS Show in Las Vegas alongside such star studded Foster produced talents as Michael Bubl, Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, and Josh Groban. When the "David Foster and Friends" show returned to the Mandalay Bay the following year, Charice received no less than six standing ovations. In between the two Vegas appearances, Charice went on to perform with Andrea Bocelli ("The Prayer") in Tuscany and Celine Dion at her Madison Square Garden show in New York City. And at 13 million hits and counting on YouTube tell us, that her audience is growing at a staggering pace. Charice's self-titled debut CD includes her single, "Pyramid" featuring labelmate Iyaz (who recently spent four weeks at #1 with his international smash hit, "Replay"). The haunting and emotionally charged single "Note To God" was produced by the legendary David Foster and written by Grammy winner, Diane Warren. Charice's performed the song as part of a special Oprah episode marking the finale of "Oprah's Search for the World's Smartest and Most Talented Kids".
