Any aspiring pop singer would certainly be happy to have the influence and support of Oprah Winfrey in their corner. However, will three appearances on the show for 17 year old Charice Pempengco in approximately a year and the help of the legendary talk show host in securing work with producer David Foster actually result in ongoing pop stardom? Last fall Oprah referred to Charice as "the most talented girl in the world." Yesterday Charice appeared on Oprah Winfrey's show to debut her first single "Note to God."

JoJo first recorded "Note to God" on her album The High Road back in 2006. The song was written by Diane Warren. Charice's cover version was produced by David Foster. Yesterday's performance featured a gospel backing choir. Charice brought the audience to their feet and Oprah Winfrey to tears. Today, the day after initial release, "Note to God" is inside the top 5 of the iTunes sales chart. Have the efforts of a television legend brought us an enduring pop star?

with an awesome singing voice. I thought she sung better than Celine Dion! Lets hope she has somebody strong to guide her.

Good luck to her xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I will hoist that up the flag pole and see who salutes it!!

Charice has deep and pure unadulterated talent and a person of substance. I believe that she will not only make it big but endure as well as a pop star. Other overrated stars with just good looks and all hype likewise has the support and influence of say Disney. What’s the difference then? While both Charice and other overrated stars have strong backing and support, the difference is, Charice has a deep talent, the others have the superficial “good looks!”

actually every book that she endorses becomes a best seller... so its not a big difference endorsing charice. Lets be supportive Kabayans and that we have someone following her dreams and making us proud.

anyway, yeah ryt... a must see performance by a 17 year old Filipina In OPRAH and it was her album launching. Finally, an original which Charice can call her own...

Charice once again has made every FILIPINO and FILIPINA proud!

I don't think so!?.she's definitely have a very good talent but she don't have the star appealing factor.
