I saw this the other day. Very impressed!

@ robbie

Diddy wouldn’t know what to do with REAL talent.

OMG! Sorry Ashlee Simpson, and Jessica for that matter, oh and Britney – this is talent. Listen, and learn.

Dammnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. She is the business…

in one word “fantastic”

I’m in love!!!!

That was excellent!!!!!!!!

Magnificent!!

Proves you don’t have to be fat to have a good voice.

hahahaha^^^^^^^

I think she put all them chicks on the back burner(beyonce, j-hud, j-lo, etc.) LOL!!

If she signed with Diddy, he would be the only person you see in the video and he would talk all thru the song.

I was not expecting all that!

Wow such a voice from such an unexpected source!

And its not even her native language!

And you (Uh Uh Uh UH) and you (take that take that) and you (bad boy for life) you’re gonna love me!! (BAAAD BOOOOYYSS come outtt aaanndd plllaaayy)

WOW……

@ Cover Girl

Not only racist but stupid too… Your rant made no sense. Go to school. Learn some English.

I HAVE CHILLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSS

THAT IS TRUE TALENT, SOMEONE SIGN HER QUICK

@ Will,

Lmao! I totally Agree. I could only shake my head reading her dumba*s comment.

She has a GREAT voice, but dayum I’m TIRED of this song!!!!!!

OH MY GOSH! She sang her little butt off. Hopefully she gets a record deal because she sings SO much better than SO many artists that are out right now. I got chills listening to this little girl sing.

wow….Incredible!

damn……….i’m ready for her album to drop

Her name is Charice Pempengo and she has a Myspace page.

http://www.myspace.com/charicepempengco

u neva know, she culd be 24 yrs old,u know sum asians are small,lol,either way she -did- dat!

WOW! her voice is a blessing!

For some of yall to say this little girl sings the song better than jhud is a damn joke lol. Yes she sounds good but Jhud would murder this little chick..

wellibegotdayum! the lil sis sang this one! you go gurl! yeah she’s been listening, and listening good! work it lil mis!

UMM THIS LIL GIRL AINT NO JOKE! AND I WOULD SAY SHE SUNG THIS BETTA DEN JENNIFER I HATE TO TELL YA! THAT LIL GIRL IS A BEAST! SHE BETTA WERK! YALL BETTA GET INTO IT!

IT IS SO SAD THAT ANYTIME SOMEONE OTHER THAN A BLACK PERSON DO SOMETHING IMITATING SOMETHING THAT A BLACK PERSON DOES, EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MIND, AND ACTS LIKE ITS THE BEST THING THEY HAVE EVER HEARD OR SEEN. IT’S RIDICULOUS!!!

THIS asian FEMALE MAY KNOW HOW TO SING, AND MAY EVEN BE CONSIDERED PRETTY DECENT, BUT COMPARED TO JENNIFER HUDSON?? NOT EVEN ON JENNIFER’S BAD DAYS!! GET REALLLLL…

^^^^^^

sorry , this little girl probably has a work ethic , that would put jennifer hudson to shame . Some training , the right manager , they will fix her up , give her some slammin tracks , beyonce / jennifer might have to watch themselves.

people are bored , lets get real why buy it if you can download it for free.

this gurl can sing, she killed it but there was a 8-year old black gurl on maury singing the same song and she killed it also. these gurls should do a deut together, but the young black gurl gave me more chills. u guys should check her out.

Cover girl..before you start flappin your gums about ching chong this and korean that..get your facts right.

She’s Filipino..and that’s a whole different race. Just cause she got chinky eyes don’t mean she’s Asian. I have filipino relatives that got nappy hair..does that make them black????

I got your chop suey right here, trick.

IF THIS IS NOT A RACIAL THING, WHY IN THE HELL DO EVERYONE KEEP SAYING THIS asian GIRL?? AND WHY IS IT THAT SHE WAS SHE SINGING THAT PARTICULAR SONG, WHY DIDN’T SHE SING A SONG THAT SOME white CHICK IS FAMOUS FOR SINGING?? WHAT THE REAL DEAL IS, WE (BLACK PEOPLE) ARE A FORCED TO BE RECKONED WITH IN EVERY FORM, THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ARE FOREVER BEING COMPARED TO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO, AND EVERYONE IS TRYING TO IMITATE US!

Luvli.ieZ – I totally agree, yes the little Asian girl have a voice, but to compare to Jhud is ridiculous, first off she sound like a little kid singing a grown up ass song, it wasn’t believable at all.. must be a lot child pedophile out there to get off on that, I didn’t feel or believed what she was singing for 1 minute.

Mann, she freak’n killed it!!!..Her stage performance was fantastic, she has true talent and yes we will be seeing her soon!….She gave me goosebumps! AMAZING

What, no, uh ah…I don’t believe you, you need more people. Little girl killed it. And she’s asian, never heard an asian sing before. Wowzers.

Chee-Chyi-Chyi (Translation: YOU GO GIRL)

Oh yah, I heard about this girl she was discovered in the basement of her parents sweat shop, once she makes it big she will no longer have to work for 2 cents a day.

Jennifer Wu – she can sing!

@getright

FIRST OF ALL, asia IS A CONTINENT, NOT A RACE! AND a fillipino IS FROM THE phillipines, WHICH IS IN asia.

AS FAR AS THE NAPPY HAIR IS CONCERNED, THAT DEPENDS ON YOUR DEFINITION OF NAPPY, BECAUSE FRIZZY WOULD NOT BE THE SAME AS NAPPY. SO GET IT RIGHT, OR SHUT THE F*KK UP!!!

@ Cover Girl

next time someone calls you a nappy head ‘ho, you can’t a damn thing. c’mon, “ching chong?” grow the f up.

@ Cover Girl

next time someone calls you a nappy head ‘ho, you can’t say a damn thing. c’mon, “ching chong?” grow the f up.

this chic is korean….not filipino to those who says she is..

i’m sick of Jennifer Hudson, too. Oscar winners have resorted to informercials y know.

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

and she’s filipino! (it said it on the screen)yea! i’m half filipino and can sing too…its about time we had a filipino singer…you know they are gonna bring her to the states and make her a big star

I’m sorry I usually dont go crazy on folks but there really are some idiots on this website. This young lady killed it. I wont say she did any better than the singers who she is covering but she did justice to the song. Just to settle a lot of simple comments going back and forth, she is from the Philippines…check her myspace page and it said it right across the screen you were just looking at.

http://www.myspace.com/charicepempengco

She does not only cover black music, she did “A whole new world” and “I will always love you”…and no…Whitney was not the original singer of that song…Dolly Parton wrote and originally sang that song…so she is just imitating music that she appreciates much like other artists do. I swear sometimes people make WAY too much of things.

Never again doubt your influence on the world.

Mad skills!

DAYUM!

Did ya’ll peep that neck roll? She’s got the swag of a Black R&B singer. Babygirl took it to church. Props!

SHE EVEN CHANGES HER MIC IN MID AIR! LMAOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She gave me goosebumps! Her version is closer to the way Jennifer Holliday sang it.

I didn’t like the way Jennifer Hudson sang it at all.

I can’t get over the subtitles, LOL!

Just wonderful.

Whoa. I got tears in my eyes from watching that. She is incredible! I couldn’t believe my ears!!!!! Wow, I am in awe!

Hollywood…”Luvli.iez, get over yourself. Jennifer Hudson doesn’t sing with harmony, she just shouts, screams and butchers her way through the song. Don’t try to make everything into black and white or should I say black and Asian. This girl is the s*** so get over ya self.”

Um, nice try but it takes more than one person to “sing with harmony” therefore, Jennifer Hudson, alone, can’t harmonize. Harmony is when two or more notes form a chord.

Aw hell…why do I try…

Jennifer Hudson can’t sing? Umm….someone’s been drinking Hatorade by the gallon. Jennifer can blow. Granted, she’s not the best, but girl can sang. This little Asian girl is awesome. I really hope she comes to America so people like Ciara, Cassie, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and all the other heffas that rob us blind with their nonsinging behinds can see what true talent looks like.

EFFORTLESS! THE GIRL SUNG THE HELL OUT OF THAT SONG AND SHE SUNG IT WITH EASE! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO THINK A CHILD CAN OUTSING JENNIFER? I MEAN COME ON! YES JEENIFER HUDSON DID A WONDERFUL JOB BUT THIS LIL GIRL HAD THE EDGE UP ON JENNIFER IM SORRY TO TELL YA! AND FOR HER TO BE A KID AND OUTSINGIN AN ADULT THAT SAYS ALOT…..NOONE IS TAKIN ANYTHING AWAY FROM JENNIFER HUDSON BUT YOU PEOPLE HAVE TO REALIZE THIER IS ALWAYS SOMEBODY A LIL BIT BETTER! THIS LIL GIRL HAS SOME STRENGTHS THAT JENNIFER DOES NOT HAVE AND VICE VERSA AND JENNIFER CAN VOCALLY DO SOME STUFF THIS LIL GIRL CANT DO! BUT THEY BOTH BUT THIER OWN UNIQUE STYLE TO THE SONG BUT I ENJOYED THE LIL GIRLS VERSION BETTER (THATS ALL!)

give this girl a contract please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW am in AWEEE this is incredible…she has her own sound and gave me the chills …Ping Lee u need a record deal..HONAY…bless yo heart

I don’t see the whole Jhud vs. this girl thing. It’s not a competition. They just so happen to have sang the same song. (which btw wasn’t really JHuds to begin with) The thing that people have to appreciate is that this girl is young and has the poise to sing and perform at such a mature level. It’s not an Asian or Black thing. And any hopes of bringing this girl over to the states to make it big is a long shot. She’s not that marketable two very big reasons. 1. not enough sex appeal (unless you’re a pedophile)

2. she’s asian (In a perfect world this would not be a factor but pop icons (singers and actors) here have to be either white, black, or latino in order to sell.)

These two points are reinforced by the fact that we have tons of amazing talent here in the US as it is. Just look at JHud… she’s about a ton right there. Jhud has more talent then Beyonce, Rihanna, Britney, etc… in a whisper but sells far less albums. Now you’re expecting an unknown asian girl to come in and take over the market? I don’t think so. I’m not saying it should be that way… that’s just the way it is.

Also this talk about black people forgetting who they are because they show some support for this girl… man… shut up. People all over the world show support to famous black icons. If black people can’t give any love back then that’s ignorance.

One last observation. This girl could sing. There’s no doubt about that. But a little insight into the differences between black and asian culture. Black culture gives rise to creative experimentaion. This spawns things such as Jazz, Rap, R&B, Break Dancing, etc… this is creation. Asian culture is about taking what’s there and doing it to the best of their abilities. They will take that Jazz, Rap, R&B and make it their own… sometimes better. This is interpretation. Anyway, neither is better or worse, just different. But it’s safe to say, without black singers, this girl would not even exist. But you haters have to give it to her, she did murder that song.

People are so surprised when Asians are able to replicate “African American” Culture, dancing, singing the like. I too was surprised until I learned about the San Bushmen of the Kalahari desert. Look it up. These are descendants of the original people who populated the world. They are a strange looking people. They look, Asian and African and Mongolian mixed. a few thousand years ago, a group of these people got stuck in Asia and due to years of isolation ,their appearance became what we think of as unique. Until you look at the khalahari. Same eye features, body types, lips. So Asians are just mutated Kalahari. In fact everyone alive is.

That baby had me cryin’. Whoo-wee

shaaronie got a point. all humans trace to africa… whatever differences exist in humans, were african features first.

AIN’T NOBODY PLAYING WITH THIS LIL GIRL, SHE IS A FOOL ON THE MIC! I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHO SIGNS HER AND WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC SHE WILL SING. ON HER MYSPACE PAGE SHE SINGS WHITNEY HOUSTON AND CHRISTINA AGUILLERA-SHE CAN GO!

Will ripped the words right out of my mouth.

It was simply cazy for some people to say jennifer hudson can outsing this child. Well no duh! Lets not forget she is a child. Her chords are probably STILL developing and sometimes when children use their powerful voices at a really young age, they can actually ruin it but im sure this girl has a coach.

I dont doubt if someone will sign her but i doubt if she’ll actually be put out and make it. When is the last asian thats been extremely marketable and has made it in the United States or anywhere else and their career wasnt based off a video game. I’m not being racist because I love two or three major Japanese artists but i know for a fact the chances of them making it out in the US is slim.

GOD…DAMN. I’ll be honest, I expected her to be crap but she floored me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Will

thank you soo much said all the thinga I wanted to say

oh yeah to everyone..have y’all seen that asian guy that tried out for Making The Band 4?..he was killing it and he should’ve been in the group..lol

oh yeah the littel girl did her thang!..of course she not better than the J-Hud or Jennifer Holiday this is a little girl here…lol..her voice hasn’t developed yet..lol

TO ALL YA’LL HATERS OUT THERE THAT LIL ASIAN GIRL DID HER THANG SHE SONG THE HELL OUT OF THAT SONG AND YEA SHE WAS BETTER THEN WHATS HER FACE MY BAD I MEAN JENNIFER YEA JENNY DID HER THANG BACK WHEN DREAMS GIRLS WAS THE SH IT ALL IM SAYING IS DONT TRY TO STOP THE LIL ASIAN CHICK SHINE (DONT BE HATING)

and yea i hope to see her again lol

She did a great job. It was strange though because at first I couldn’t believe the sound was coming from her. It seemed dubbed

@ cubalinda

LMAO…. that line about chineese people can make anything had me rolling. But on the real, people give credit where credit is due and keep the racial slurs out of it. Black people get mad over “nappy headed hoes” then turn around and degrade other races.

Thank you Emma for writing Charice’s name in your comment. While I am not crazy about the song, Cherice did an excellent job singing it. She has a good voice and listening to her sing gave me chills. Cherice is the fresh sound we need, she has clarity,talent and can really sing unlike quite a few cookie cutter singers out there who tend to mumble, screech or scream there way through a song. By the by the racial comments are truly ugly and we need to get past that….

Some musicians are busy with talking about this story at http://www.richromances.com

Luvli.ieZ

IT IS SO SAD THAT ANYTIME SOMEONE OTHER THAN A BLACK PERSON DO SOMETHING IMITATING SOMETHING THAT A BLACK PERSON DOES, EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MIND, AND ACTS LIKE ITS THE BEST THING THEY HAVE EVER HEARD OR SEEN. IT’S RIDICULOUS!!!

……………..

yep.

And as someone said earlier..never doubt your influence on the world BPeople..so be proud and responsible about what you put out there. Enough of this “gangster rap” and poor English…Come on people

everybody keep saying i got the chills i thought it was just me i feel better and i think she sounds better than jenifer jenifer ! somebody need to sign her ass to the roc !

truthy troll need to just stop hatin can u do better dang ? leave the people alone they just said the damn girl can sing and u got to go all deep, relax !

and what abou old girl sayin her voice isn’t formed did u just hear what heard dummy and stop being racist this lil girl got them beat AND I AM BLACK just so u don’t get to thinkin crazy like i’m some hater from another race being racist

NO THE HELL SHE DIDN’T!!!! Did y’all catch that neck rolling action? Yep, bring her ass to America, get a new look, wait a couple years to get some age appropriate lyrics and she will be HUGE!!!!!

filipinos have black in them . there are ppl called negritos who are the original inhabitants of the phillipines

that can’t really be her..she mouth is too close to the mic =l

hmm

her mouth*

This child can sing. I’m amazed.

If anyone here are interested in hearing her or watching her sing other great songs you should check out FalseVoice page on Youtube she’s got a lot of videos but mostly home videos, her recent one is “Voice Within” by Christina Aguilera

she’s for real everyone. she can sing. it’s not lipsync. i’ve seen her videos (both from a singing contest and home videos) in youtube. just search using her name – charice pempengco.

That lil girl killed it! Its not about what color she is. Its about that fact that she can sing. She was not even straining and she probably could have sung a couple of octaves higher than she did. Her voice is incredible no matter what color of person the voice comes out of. I intended to just take a peek at her video but once it started I was so amazed that I had to watch the whole thing. Why are you all even arguing about where she comes from or what color she is. Grow up. Give respect where it’s due. By the way its not a competition but I enjoyed her take on the some better than Jennifer Hudson’s as well.

nice voice but seems like every other race just tries their best to imitate black people..

Duh, she’s lipsynching people, do your research!

SHE IS AMAZING

Oh….my…..gawd…..That little girl can SING!!! Talent…….Talent…….Talent……that is what she’s got! It is amazing how other cultures can approximate our style and do it damn well!! She sounds better than Jennifer Hudson!

@Dana

your research sucks

That girl sung the hell out of that song!!

It’s pure talent comes frm God…God Bless U Charice Always….

I THOUGHT SHE WAS PHILLIPINO NOT ASIAN.

PHILLIPINO IS MELANESIAN – THEY DON’T LIKE BEING CALLED ASIAN WHEN THEY AINT -

ANYWAY, THIS LIL GIRL IS MEEEAN!! SHES GONNA SHINE ON FOR A LONG TIME. MARIAH, MOVE YO STINKY OLD DAMAGED GOODS ASS ASIDE.

HAHA

BTW why did you caption the post ‘Jenifer Who?’

J-Lo sux and doesnt even compare. woulda made more sense if you put ‘Beyonce Who?’ or somethin… or did I misinterpret sumthin here? -_-

fynedymemami,

Race got nothin to do with talent. Talent cannot be imitated. and black singers are not only ones who are gifted at singing. the girl got some soul, so dont blame her if God gave her such wonderful gift. period.

footnote: not all black people can sing, so it’s a fallacy to say that one must try to be black inorder to become a good singer.

now please stop this nonsense of Black reigns supreme when it comes to singing coz I haven’t seen a Black person did an excellent job singing country music in a country way. every singer has their own forte of singing, regardless of race.

there’s news that this gurl will be meeting diddy at the end of this month. she juz rock london recently thru the Paul O’ Grady show and will be in Oprah this coming May. Her first US appearance thru the Ellendegeneres show last December was impressive.

This gurl is gonna be huge!!!!

That grullll can sANG YO GO GURLll!!!!!!!!
