    I was a lighting tech at this event. There were other performers that night but Charice was the only one that received standing ovation. Literally half of the crowd were stood up while she was singing. It was such an amazing sight how something that small sound so powerful

    Simple, but very powerful and heartfelt performance! She did justice to this song. After hearing her sing this, I will never feel the same about this song sung by any other singers no matter how popular they are. Too much sophisticated curves and touches will just destroy the whole song. That's probably why the way she sung it hits you right inside because she didn't sing it to her style unlike how well known artist sing this song, they make it their own when it shouldn't be. More than anything, it should be sung from the heart so everybody else will feel the song the same way. It's America's song about their history and challenges they overcame.. this rendition makes you remember just that. You feel sadness, happy and proud at the end of the song. Perfect! Just the right emotions you should get. No other singer will ever beat this or give you the same feeling like Charice did.

    Charice possessed not only a golden voice but she definitely has CHARISMA which a lot of singers doesn't have. It is not enough that you wear long, expensive gowns and expensive jewelries on stage. But what attracts people to Charice is her pure innocence that a child exudes and yet her singing is first rate in the DIVA level. We saw her for the first time in Las Vegas and we were touched and find ourselves in tears after her performance. We LOVE her!!!

  • @lovelysoul90
    @lovelysoul90 15 років тому +48

    I would like to repeat myself, Charice is adored and loved here in the USA, simply because she is a GREAT singer.
    If we, foreigners had developed instant adoration for her,
    maybe, the Filipinos should also give her the same accolade and support her all the way. No more, no less.
    She is such a humble little girl.

    i agree. charice dIdn't use her falsetto voice yet still she sang gba with unmatched power and emotion, complete control and soul, so much so it's hard not to feel that roller-coaster feeling but without the nausea...I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS SONG SANG WITH ITS MESSAGE SO PERFECTLY CLEAR. what a MAGICAL feeling it has been!
    CHARICE DOESN'T ONLY HAVE AMAZING HIGH NOTES BUT HAIR-RAISING LOW NOTES AS WELL. VERY RARE EVEN IN MUSIC INDUSTRY. LIKE THAT OF A DIAMOND, SIMPLY BEST...EVER!!!
    Goosebumps!

    we are all separated by boundries drawn on a map, but there's one thing no one can change- this is one world and we are all connected to it! Charice it was honor to hear you sing, a beautiful powerful voice, may God continue to bless and guide you
