“Come on New York, let’s hear it for Charice,” Celine then said as Charice made her way to the stage.
Celine took Charice’s hand as she stepped onstage and they shared a hug. The audience stood up and applauded.
“First of all, let me tell you that you look spectacular. Mom, are you okay? You look beautiful, are you holding on?” Celine said while the cameras panned to Charice’s mom Raquel who was trying to control her emotions herself.
“Are you shaking, are you okay? How do you feel?” Celine asked Charice.
“I’m nervous,” Charice responded.
Before breaking into their duet, Celine shared a story about how her manager, now her husband, told her not to be nervous.
“The people understand that you are nervous but let me tell you one thing: the talent we’re not gonna talk about because you have it; the strength we’re not going to talk about because you have it,” Celine said as she pointed at Charice’s mom.
“Think that all the people in front of you are your brothers and sisters. You are singing in your living room and it’s your family. All these people are your family tonight. They cannot wait to hear you sing,” Celine added.
With that, the two sang Because You Loved Me, dedicated to Charice’s mother.
While standing ovations were usually reserved after every performance, the audience in this show was different as they stood up and applauded Charice as she sang. Celine sang the first few bars and let Charice enjoy the moment by singing only the chorus with her.
After their song and the applause, Celine told Charice, “Your mother is extremely proud of you and so we are. You did amazing and the roof of Madison went off tonight.”
“Let me ask you Charice, when you do Madison Square Garden, are you going to invite me,” as Charice responded with a nervous laugh, disbelieving that her idol was asking her that question.
“I love you and I cannot wait for you to perform here for a whole concert and we’re all gonna be there,” Celine said as she hugged Charice one more time.
