A year after his first visit to the Philippines, Grammy award-winning composer-producer David Foster is slated to return with his godchild, Charice.
On October 25, Charice's fans will have the chance to watch her perform live at the Araneta Coliseum for the Asian Tour of David Foster and Friends.
Aside from performing in the Philippines, Charice is also expected to have concerts in Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
According to her manager Grace Mendoza, Charice's movie, Here Comes the Boom, will be screened by 2012.
Right now, the singer-actress is in the United States working on her upcoming album.
SPECIAL FEATURE IN OPRAH'S BOOKAZINE. Meanwhile, Charice is featured in a special bookazine titled Oprah's Farewell Celebration: Inside 25 Extraordinary Years of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
According to Oprah's official website, this publication is a "commemorative edition detailing the remarkable inside story of America's most inspiring daytime shows."
The now defunct American daytime show Oprah ran for 25 years before the final episode was aired in May 25, 2011. Oprah decided to give up her show to concentrate on her cable channel OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), which launched in January 2011.
Filipino singer Charice is described as the "golden piped girl" in the section titled "The Guests We'll Always Remember."
In the bookazine, Oprah is quoted as saying about her godchild: "One of the things I love most about Charice is that no matter what obstacles she's faced in her life, she's never given up on her dream of something better."
NAPA VALLEY CONCERT. Charice also recently graced the 6th Annual Napa Valley Festival del Sole held at the Robert Mondavi Winery in Napa Valley north of San Francisco, U.S.A.
The other performers during the July 16 concert were renowned singer-songwriter Kenneth Brian "Babyface" Edmonds; 2003 American Idol winner and Grammy Award nominee Ruben Studdard; The Canadian Tenors, which is composed of Remigio Pereira, Victor Micallef, Fraser Walters, and Clifton Murray; and record producer and singer-songwriter David Foster.
Charice posted on her Twitter account a few hours before taking the stage: "Here in Napa 4 a performance. chillin backstage w/ my big bro @RubenStuddard! I missed him! everybody please follow him? :) thanks y'all!"
The 19-year-old singer and recording artist performed Celine Dion's "To Love You More," a medley of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" and "I Will Always Love You" and Gloria Gaynor's immortal anthem, "I Will Survive."
Charice's performance of "I Will Survive" literally rocked the crowd, with the Filipino singer standing on top of an elevated platform as David Foster provided piano accompaniment.
Some of those who witnessed the show later remarked on Twitter: @stbarrett: "Charice singing I will always love you was better than Whitney Houston. Not a dry eye in the crowd. Wow."
Violinist Christine Wu also wrote, "Charice is KILLING it!!! Babyface & D Foster onstage for 4 songs too. If something had happened there'd be no one left to write hits. Charice is sooo nice too, really impressed w everything about her."
The Napa Valley Festival del Sole—an annual summer event celebrating music, wine, art and food—was founded in 2006 by Grammy-award winning music producer Rick Walker.
Charice sings "Far as the Sky" theme song for a Japanese TV show
Charice created a music video for the theme song of the mystery/crime drama Bull Doctor, which is being shown in Japan.
International singing sensation Charice was chosen to sing "Far as the Sky," the official theme song of the Japanese mystery/crime drama titled Bull Doctor.
Today, July 6, Warner Music Japan released the music video of the song through its Youtube channel.
In the music video, Charice wears a fedora hat as she sings the song with lyrics that go: "Our destiny is such a fantasy / I share my love / To help you through the night/ Far as the sky / My heart will reach out to the one who cries / I will never leave you far behind"
Bull Doctor is topbilled by Japanese actresses Esumi Makiko and Ishihara Satomi who portray a forensic scientist and a police detective, respectively.
In the website charicemania.com, Harry Yasu Clark translated an interview with Bull Doctor producer Kayuza Toda wherein he explained why he personally chose Charice to perform the theme song of the show.
In Warner Japan's official website, Toda was quoted as saying: "It was shocking when I first heard Charice's songs. I was so fascinated by her voice which is so stretching and powerful, and the experience got me reaching out to her and asking for a song. I have this strong confidence and conviction in my heart that the message of humanism this drama will give, and the emotions that Charice will bring to this drama, will make a fantastic collaboration."
For her part, Charice was also quoted by Warner as saying: "This song has full of inspiration...it has a clear message that even when you tend to get down by encountering obstacles, difficulties in life, there IS always hope."
The 19-year-old Filipina singer also dedicated the song to the Japanese people who were affected by the disastrous tidal wave last March 11.
She expressed her sympathy by saying, "Please remember to feel that this is not the end of the world, there is still hope, and there will come a 'tomorrow.' You all can overcome this, and win this. And please remember we each have given all of our support for you."
Her message was translated by Harry Clark for charicemania.com
Aside from Bull Doctor, Charice's latest single, "Louder", was also used as the theme song of the Japanese morning show Mezmashi TV.
"I play a student. She's a little like Sunshine; she's a brainiac and her father wants her to go home to the Philippines to work in a restaurant," says Charice about her role in Here Comes the Boom. In this photo, she's with Hollywood actress Salma Hayek.
After portraying a foreign exchange student in Glee Season 2, Charice is once again cast as a student for the Hollywood film, Here Comes the Boom.
In the American musical comedy series Glee, Charice was tapped to portray Sunshine Corazon. For the action-comedy film Here Comes the Boom, she plays a student named Malia.
In her Twitter account, Charice announced on Monday (Tuesday in Manila): "Done with the movie!!! It was nice working with everybody! Kevin James, Salma Hayek, Henry Winkler, everybody! Now it's party time. :]"
Helmed by The Wedding Singer director Frank Coraci, Here Comes the Boom is scheduled for release in 2012.
In an interview with USA Today last May 24, the 19-year-old singer-actress revealed some details about her character in Here Comes the Boom.
Charice was quoted as saying in the interview, "Henry Winkler plays a music teacher, and Kevin James is another high school teacher who sidelines as a martial arts fighter to save the music program. I play a student. She's a little like Sunshine; she's a brainiac and her father wants her to go home to the Philippines to work in a restaurant."
The Filipina singer-actress was last seen in the 2009 Hollywood live-action animation movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.
