Charice Pempengco, 18, returned to Oprah for the fourth time to launch her international self-titled debut album on May 11, two years after her first Oprah appearance that helped launch her into superstardom.

She told Oprah, "I'm really, really excited because this is actually my first pop-RnB album. I'd been singing Whitney Houston's and Celine Dion's songs, and now, I can't believe that these are my own songs."

"It [feels like a dream come true]. I didn't expect all of these. I just want to thank all the people who helped me and you are one of them. Thank you so much," she added.

The "hit maker" songwriter-producer David Foster also appeared on the show. Pempengco said, "I've learned a lot from David. He's always telling me that it has to be great."

To this, Foster said, "Good is the enemy of great and it applies to anything in life. Charice is like a laser beam and she looks to me for guidance. You tell her once and she gets it. But probably, the most extraordinary thing that has happened to Charice and me is that today, I got a letter from her asking me to be her godfather."

Pempengco performed her Billboard Dance/Club Play chart-topping "Pyramid" with Iyaz

At the end of her performances, teen heartthrob and another Oprah guest for the day, Justin Bieber came out to sign a no-texting-while-driving pledge with Pempengco.
