Charice talks about her Glee audition in Seventeen's online magazine

Published: Aug 13, 2010 - 9:21am

After landing the cover of Reader's Digest Asia's August 2010 issue, singing sensation Charice Pempengco was featured in Seventeen.com, the online version of the U.S. teen magazine Seventeen.  

Charice recounted how she auditioned for her guest role in Glee. "I sang my song 'In This Song.' David Foster wrote the song for me. I thought that I should sing a ballad. I thought they would love it." She also told  Seventeen.com how she found out she got the job. She said, "I was in Europe so I was on Twitter and I saw that I had over 1,000 responses and I was like 'OK, something happened,' so I opened it and it was like "Charice on  Glee!" And I was like again [with the rumors]?! I didn't get an e-mail from the show so I wasn't tweeting at that time. I just watched my fans tweet. And then after about 30 minutes the show e-mailed me and said congratulations."

Charice, who has previously  said she aspires to become an entertainment lawyer, said that her childhood dream was to become a doctor. "But my mom was like, 'It's really hard and it's going to take 10 years,' so I was like, "Okay, I'll just be a lawyer.'"  She added, "I want to be an entertainment lawyer so I'll still be in the business  I'll be in court and be like (singing) 'Objection!'" The 18-year-old said that despite her "crazy busy schedule," she still allots two hours a day for her studies. She is taking up  BA Communications at a Massachusetts-based online international university.

She also told Seventeen.com that she dreams of making a record with Beyonce or Lady Gaga. She said her biggest accomplishment was the time she sang with Celine Dion, one of her heroes.

Charice performed her first single from her self-titled debut album "Pyramid" and a cover of Beyonce's "Halo" at the Seventeen office. Watch the videos here.

    Charice is hailed around the world, transcending barriers of race, age, gender and social demographics . . . The only Asian to break major U.S. Music Charts. Her vocal prowess, versatility and theatricality are unheard of. Listening to her as she does her thing is like witnessing Michaelangelo as he strokes his brush bit by bit and watch Mona Lisa unfolds right before your very eyes.

    @ kghj, eh yon na nga ang point ko. Sikat siya sa States at instant green card for extraordinary talent yan...while the rest of the Filipinos will lie to death at the Embassy just to get a mere tourist visa to the States - denied pa rin naman. Do you think Charice cares about people like you? She will laugh all the way to the bank. Tigilan na ang crabbing ha.

    Nausukan lang ng tambucho ng Philippine Airlines, nagka-accent na. Hahahaha. In fairness, wagi ang botox ni Bello. Huwang lang sanang matunaw na parang kandila ang mga pangahas ni Charizzzz. Mabuhay ka! Ang chocolate ko ha? Wg kalilimutan.

    ung kasikatan naman ni charice sa Amerika is parang wala lang...stars do come and go. I just hope Charice and her mom should learn how to save money para pag wala ng offer abroad they can still afford the good life they're now accustomed to.

    Sikat si Charice sa Amerika. Yon ang importante hindi kayo. Nakuha ninyo?
  • wala lang Aug 13 2010 @ 05:01pm Report Abuse
    she should have undergone a diction or a speech class first before going through with this. wala lang. para naman di nakakahiya. i don't care kung pinoy accent or what, basta maayos lang yung p's and f's, b's and v's...

    In my opinion, the assimilation is faster when kids come to the United States at the age of 16 and below. For those who are 18 and above, forget it. The heavy-accented collegiala English of Manila will not cut it in Cali or NY. These folks will be in the same category as the other FOB's.

    wow, a few months in the US and she was like, inserting the word "like" in all of her sentences.

    Good luck Charice! Remember. Remember. Remember...The American teeners are Charice's audience and not you people. The accent has to disappear overnight in order to make it in the United States. You don't have to go too far in the accent development department. Ask your favorite call center agent friends who serve the American public during graveyard shift.
