Back in the Spring, Oprah introduced me to the most incredible voice I've heard in a very long time. 21-7 fans, meet Charice Pempengco. Charice hails from the Phillipines, and rose to the status of internet singing sensation in a matter of months via everyone's favorite video hosting site, YOUTUBE! Back in May, Oprah invited her to perform on her show. To put things in perspective, I (along with about 4 other people) was late for my Accounting final exam because I could not tear my eyes away from the TV screen. With no formal vocal training, this chick produces such an intense and moving sound that it brings tears (literally) to my eyes, and gives me chills. She is such an amazing talent, and at just 16 years old has already been compared to legends such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion (all of whom happen to be her favorite N. American artists). Please get familiar! This chick is the truth!!
