As a kid, Charice idolized Celine Dion so much that the very first song she ever learned to sing was Celine’s. This same song also brought Charice her first win in a singing competition back in the Philippines.
It has been a whirlwind week for Charice and her mother Raquel. Just last week, she performed in Rotterdam, the Netherlands to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Feyenoord Soccer Club. Then on Tuesday, Sept. 9, an entire episode on Oprah was devoted to her.
She flew to Edmonton to perform at the David Foster & Friends fund-raiser and on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 14, she arrived in New York for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
It was during the Oprah episode where Celine, through a satellite feed from Washington, DC, offered Charice a realization of one of her greatest dreams.
"I would love to do something very special with you," Celine began. "I would love to ask you to come to sing a duet with me... We can dedicate this song to your mother. So I hope you can travel to New York and meet with me."
On Monday, Sept. 15, Charice achieved this dream, and was witnessed by a sold-out audience.
This Friday, Sept. 19, Oprah will air clips of the dream duet. Oprah’s crew has been following Charice lately. This is one of the reasons why she was applauded when she was on her way to her seat right before the concert started.
Charice’s busy schedule will also bring her to Los Angeles this week for ABS-CBN’s One Kapamilya Go show at the Ontario Convention Center. (www.asianjournal.com)
