  • this is the best version! next to Tamia

  • CHARICE's version is better

  • wow, tamia's classic...what i like about the regine is that she's an emotional singer, actually..

  • oic nice vocal though

  • is she american?

  • @coconotlover no, she's a filipina...

  • @coconotlover are you an american?

  • @Blackbutterfly728 well no..hehe

  • Some pieces are best left alone. Regine doesn't the have the softness required for the emotional delicateness of the song. She's a talented woman, but she needs to really know when to stop oversinging a piece just to show off her voice.

  • what year kaya to? 2000 or 1999?

  • i really like this song so much it tells a lot to my love life..(",)

  • love yah regine

    

  • You're my idol regine..

  • what i like about regine than charice about this song is the clarity of pronouncing of word and the curves and curls..

  • love her rendition.....

  • y the topic here is all about charice is regine singing right?

  • @ecariloveyou THIS. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THANK YOU FOR POINTING IT OUT. ughh everyone is annoying me.

  • i dont understand

  • Charice at 13years old sounds way better than this version. Charice has the X-factor thats why she is where she is right now. Regine has her no.1 song in Asia but its a duet with JAcky Cheung (sabit lang si Regine). Ms. Lea Salonga talks about Charice and i quote "at the end of the day if you're just so insanely talented, you cannot be denied."

  • i can't feel the emotion of the song. it's supposed to be heartbreaking....

  • @cukay15 You said the same thing on her other video. I think it's just you my dear spreading your hate towards Regine. Sad :-)

  • @chonaV i dont hate her. it's just my opinion. she's a really great singer. no wonder she's so famous in the phils.

    but this particular song, is not for her. i just cant feel any connection at all...

  • @cukay15 Do you see her rejoicing here? I don't. Oh well, to each his own. I don't expect her to go on depression mode and take prozac on stage just to feel this performance.

  • @chonaV how dare you judge me of having colonial mentality, you do not even know a bit about me. I did not even accuse you of anything.

    If you can prove in any of my comments of any trace of colonial mentality I would vow down in shame.

    When you assume, you make an ASS of U and ME.

  • @mrsharbort Well based on ur posts, u obviously have a higher regard of the US than the Philippines. You see artists who appeal to the US audience the more successful ones. You belittle artists who have careers in the Philippines. So yes, your colonial mentality is so apparent :)

  • @chonaV wow, which artist are you talking about? Can't you see all my favorited videos? They are all about Charice, a Filipino, who happens to make waves in the US, does that render me having colonial mentality? Did I even promote any other artists in my posts? Did I demote any Filipino artist?

  • @mrsharbort My goodness, who else but Charice. You think she's better than everybody else just because she's able to appear on some American shows. Yes, you have belittled local Filipino artists in saying that Charice is greater than they are because she's able to get a break in the US.

  • @chonaV even if Charice did not make it in the US, for me, she is the best singer there is.I did not even say she is better than anyone, I said she is the best. In saying so, I am not belittling particularly anyone. Gosh do you even understand that? If you thought I belittled your idol or anyone, it is not my fault. This is how you can belittle a singer "she sounds nosy, no class, trying hard and so ugly", that is a sample of belittling, which I do not remember posting.

  • @mrsharbort Well sorry, but your subjective admiration for Charice does not make your claims as facts. Saying that someone is ugly, no class, and trying hard is more like hating than belittling, lol. Belittling would be saying something like, "I am better than you because I am from the US and ur just from the Philippines", now that's belittling someone.

  • @chonaV ok once and for all, to put this to end, who do you think should have been there more deserving than Charice?

  • @mrsharbort Charice's fate is Charice's fate. She deserves whatever came her way, and I am happy for her.

  • @chonaV for the record, I do not claim my opinions as facts, now if you perceive them as facts, not my fault.

  • @mrsharbort I just wanted to expose your colonial mentality. That's all :-)

  • @chonaV hahahaha, expose something that is not there. LOL, feed your fantasy.

  • @mrsharbort Oh yes. I have been exposing your pathetic colonial mentality. That you pretty much worship and need validation from the west. Otherwise, it's no good for you.

  • @chonaV feed your fantasy dear, I do not care anymore, LOL, your reasoning is not that solid, so why would I care.

  • @mrsharbort I'm actually the realistic one. I don't base my judgment on what Hollywood thinks. I don't simply conform.

  • @chonaV Did you know, I saw Chona Velasquez during an amateur singing contest in our barrio, and since then, I have been crazy for her? She was the best during her heydays. I was crazy for Whitney Houston as well, she was the best during her heydays. Lea was the best in her genre during her heydays until today. I loved all of them.

  • @mrsharbort Wow, lucky you. I was never a fan of Regine until I first heard her sing live. But this is not just about Regine. It's about the mentality of pinoys that they seem to have higher regards towards artists when noticed by the US. Why?

  • @chonaV do not ask me, I do not represent the whole Philippines LOL and I do not have that mentality.

    So you are never a fan of Regine, how do you explain "ChonaV"

  • @mrsharbort I ask you because you have that mentality. You're easily impressed by someone who's able to appear on Oprah or Ellen or Glee, lol. The rest are insignificant to you. I am a fan of Regine. I said I was not a fan of her UNTIL the first time I heard her sing live. I went to see Kuh Ledesma, instead, Regine amazed me.

  • @chonaV LOL, I first saw Charice on Little Big Star, not on Ellen or Oprah, when she lost, I thought, she was robbed, but I always believe that real talents do not go unnoticed, just look at Arnel Pineda.

  • @mrsharbort Yes, just like most Filipinos. They saw Charice on LBS, but no one made a big deal of her. When did Filipinos took notice of her? Just like Arnel, it was only when they got noticed by the US. But before that, Charice's career was pretty much over after she lost. Thanks to YouTube she was noticed by other countries. I also thought she was robbed. I liked her then just as much as I like her now. She's one of the very few who could pull off Regine songs effortlessly.

  • @chonaV there must be something special about her, because out of millions of YT talents, including Filipinos, why she was picked out, same goes to Arnel Pineda.

  • @chonaV after Regine, nobody has impressed me then Charice came. Her appearance on Ellen and Oprah made me proud because the girl that I have been rooting for finally is noticed not just in the Philippines but in other countries as well.

  • @mrsharbort I was glad that Ellen took notice of Charice. Who knows. If Charice won LBS, her fate may not have been the same. Things happen for a reason. God gave her that gift for a reason. It is up to her to work hard and make the right decisions. And so far, so good.

  • @chonaV yes Banig is a singer/songwriter, Charlotte is into other genre, Charice reaches wider audience, as David Foster said, from age 8 to 88.

    Again, what has Banig and Charlotte got to do with Charice? You assumed again that since the former started as young, Charice will have the same fate? So you will say the same with Jackie Evancho?

    What about Britney and Cristina, they both started young too, but they made it big. Banig even beat Cristina in a talent show. How do you explain that?

  • @mrsharbort Charice, just like Charlotte and Banig, are CHILD WONDERS. how many times do I have to say that. Things might change when she's older. Even her voice might change, like Charlotte. I'm not saying that Charice will have the same fate, but I will not say otherwise either because no one knows. All I am saying is, don't start claiming Charice to be the greatest ever because she's not established yet.

  • @chonaV exactly noone knows. Britney and Cristina are also child wonders, how do you explain that?

    I don't remember saying that she will be the best ever, I said, she is the best there is.

    LOL do you even read?

  • @mrsharbort Britney and Christina weren't child wonders. They're were child stars in the making. They started young in Disney. They've established connections. It was easy for them to break in. They didn't come from nowhere like Charlotte, Banig, Charice, and that girl from America's Got Talent did.

  • @chonaV I belittle? I beg your pardon. That is a grave accusation. Can you even prove that? Can you even site one instance where I belittle anyone? Tsk tsk.

  • @mrsharbort Hello? You've been bragging about Charice's opportunities in the US deeming her better than any pinoy artists in the Philippines, and you still deny that you belittle local Filipino artists? Lol. Gosh.

  • @chonaV oh Chona, what happened. I DID NOT SAY SHE IS BETTER, I SAID SHE IS THE BEST.

    Tagalog na lang pwede, di ka nakakaintindi.

  • @mrsharbort You can say that Charice is the best for you. But to make a statement that she is the best and enumerate her accomplishments in the US as the reason why you think she's the best, just shows that you do have a colonial mentality :-)

  • @chonaV really? that is how you define colonial mentality? ok fine. That is not how I define it, so, I am not guilty.

  • @mrsharbort Well you obviously don't even know that you have a colonial mentality. No wonder, hahahahaha

  • @chonaV because I know I do not have, I know myself that anybody else. LOL. Do I even accuse of something?

  • @mrsharbort Well sometimes it takes someone else to make us realize what we have.

  • @chonaV WHATEVER. I DIDNT WRITE A COMMENT HERE FOR A BATTIBECCO... CIAO!!!! ADDIO!!!!!

  • No doubt she's a great singer, but this song doesn't connect her, luck of emotion, almost like reading lyrics in a karoake. Think of this as constructive criticism

  • expressionless.

  • @orangemui Expressionless? Emotions are in her vocals, not so much with gestures. The soft to loud variations. She's a singer, not an actress. The emotions would be through her singing, not movements.

  • day go by? mali na naman lyrics..

  • @melanking04 Subukan mo kaya schedule ni Regine kung kaya mo. These songs are sometimes given to them just a day or two before the show. Sometimes on the same day of the show.

  • bravo! full of emotion as always..

  • parehas silang magaling peo ngaun lets admit na si charice ang mas lamang kse she conquers international na ndi ngawa ng iba in short tym at the young age..peo lahat ng pinay na gumawa ng name internationally ay thumbs up!!!

  • I actually didnt feel the original song here.

    She made it her own.

    I like all versions of this song.

    Regine is brilliant.

  • Is she reading the lyrics?

  • Charice version has more views! Kay regine wala!

  • @harcab bakit ba kailangang i-compare lagi? hay, ang pinoy nga nman......regine is regine..... and charice is charice.....if you like charice , watch her videos and support her....wag na lang mag-compare lagi and manira ng ibang artist.....

  • paos sya dito...

  • Charice version is WAY better

  • regine's still reigns.

  • mga fans ni regine mga baklang walang pinag aralan...nakakaawa naman :(

  • talaga lang ha. eh ikaw may pinagaralan ka ba? oy yung concert ni charice dito sa LA flop just so you know. Nakakahiya, mura na nga ang ticket wala pa nanonood. Kay Regine laging puno.. Gaya-gaya lng kase si charice. She just want to sing like Regine and Whitney... so why would people watch her.. dun na lang sila sa original!! After all its Regine who started it in the Philippines sa mga biritan, lahat sila mga copy cat na! And thats the truth.

  • BOBO pano bah naging flop yun na punong puno nga ang venue, kahit tanungin mo pa si Boy Abunda na pumunta sa concert . Si regine ginawa pang dahilan ang h1n1 kaya hindi sumipot sa concert ni charice, Hindi ka ba nahiya sa idol mo? kahit siya pa ang tanungin mo kung bakit hindi siya pumunta sa concert ni charice, ANG SASABIHIN NIYA AY TAKOT SIYANG LALAMPASOHIN NI CHARICE. si celine at andrea bocelli nga ay nakipag duet kay charice. YAN PA BANG REGINE NA HINDI NAMAN KASIKATAN SA BUONG MUNDO!

  • Honey bago mo ko tawaging bobo,check your self first. Nanood ako ng concert ng idol mong mukhang palaka. ( well because my friends wanted to) Ikaw ang BOBO dahil naniniwala ka sa news ni Boy Abunda. of course sasabihin nila na punong puno. May x-deal si charice sa talent agency ni Boy. It business, syempre alang sasabihin nyang flop? Kelan ba inamin na nagflop ang isang project. You shd have listened to GMA news.And mas BOBO ka dahil ang H1N1 diagnosis ni Regine was supported by medical records

  • hahaha wag kang mag ilusion rvbosano honey dahil nandoon ako...punong puno nga ang concert ni charice..ang ganda siguro ng imahinasyong mo!! hahaha...at totoo namang sinisi ni regine ang swine flu hahaha pa kunwari kapa rvbosano...hahaha...

  • nandun ka? saan? ano itchura ng venue? nakakatawa ka baka nanood ka ng concert ni charice sa karaokehan sa mall.. mashado mo naman pinapataas si charice. dapat nagpaparetoke sha ang panget ng mukha nya. sabi ng mga pinoy dito wala shang ganda!! sabi ni freddie aguilar monkey sha,, hahahaha palakang unggoy

  • Sana naman, wag na tayong mag put down ng ibang artists. Napapaaway lang ang ibang mga Regine fans ng dahil din minsan sa ibang mga Regine fans na nanglalait sa ibang artists. Tigilan na natin ang ganyang ugali. Support na lang tayo sa lahat ng Filipino artists, at todo support sa favorite artist natin. Pare-pareho lang naman silang magagaling.

  • And MAS PINAKABOBO ka dahil Regine is Charice's idol kaya nya pinakausapan si Regine pumunta sa concert nya. Eh kung talagang walang halaga si Regine bakit malaking news ang di nya pagsipot. Maswerte lng si Little Frog dhl na discover sha ni Ellen by accident and supported sha ni Oprah. Well see what will happen to her career after 3 to 5 years. Regine is an ICON of Phil Music. she has proven it for 21 years.

  • Ngayon baliktad na si Charice na ang Idol ni Regine!! Darating ang araw Regine will sing Charice songs!!! hahaha and you guys para kayong bahag asong hiyang hiya sa sarili nyo dahil para kayong sinampal ng mga kaibigan nyong demonyo!! and it will happen!! Huwag kang sobrang ilusyonada rvbosano para kay sa Idol mong boses aso!! hahaha

  • Patay si charice pag nag retire si oprah sa 2011. wala na rin shang career.

  • bobo hindi mag reretire si Oprah gaga..hahahah...may sariling TV station na siya..hahaha mag research ka mona pwede? nakakahiya ka kasi e dahil wala kang alam!

  • Darling ang balita mong nakukuha sa filipino news is just a spill over. Shes retiring.. She already has a cable channel broadcasting only in chicago. She will be taking a backseat from the light. Dito sa States when you say retire, you exit from your longest occupation and just wait for your 401k, investment income to come. Meaning no stressful job for her. I dont wanna argue with anything with u anymore. Were not in the same wave length. Ur so sophomoric.

  • if you don't want to argue with me, why are you replying to my comment? may pa sophomoric ka pa at wave length nalalaman, CHE tumahimik ka, nagmumurunong ang baklang toh wala namang alam katulad ng ibang regine gay fanatics, tsupe bakla CHEAP!!!

  • darating ang araw? kailan pa? pag gunaw na ang mundo ?? hahahahh

    whoo... ONLY IN YOUR DREAMS!!

  • Wag kang magmayabang. Ilang taon pa lang sa music industry si Charice mo. Si Regine may napatunayan na, at hanggang ngayon nandyan pa rin. Ba't kasi kinakailangang manglait ng kapwa pinoy?

  • @chonaV - korek chonav.. si regine pa rin ang ginagawa ng idol nila.. lahat ng kinakanta ni regine, kinakanta din nila. Regine reigns

  • @rvbosano as if naman lahat ng kinakanta ni regine eh kanya talaga

  • @rvbosano logically! regine has dominated national tv and music so basically ang starting point ng emerging singers siya!

  • Di lahat ng nakikilala sa abroad tumatagal at naalala ng mundo. Tingnan mo nangyari kay Leah Salonga, wala na shang career sa Pilipinas, at wala na rin shang career dito sa US. Aminin mo REGINE is the reigning DIVA, Asias Songbird.. Charice is the WORLD singing FROGLET. hahahaha!! Piss off

  • hahaha wag mong maliitin ang mga pinoy na nagbigay karangalan sa pilipinas, mas marami pa nga ang mo prefer kay leah salonga over regine ,,,hahaha laos na ang idol mo..hahahah si regine hindi nga lang naka tupok sa america laos na hahahahah...doon na lang siya sa baklaran nagcoconcert hahahahha

  • Nagbigay din naman ng karangalan si Regine sa Pilipinas. At di pa po laos si Regine. It is Regine who's decided to lay low. Napapagod din po sya. Platinum po ang Low Key album nya FYI. Kung minamaliit mo si Regine nang dahil mas ginusto nya na manatili ang career nya sa Pilipinas, ay parang minamaliit mo na rin ang lahat ng mga pinoy na mas ginustong mag stay dyan sa Pilipinas kesa mag abroad. Iba't-iba po ang opportunity ng bawat tao.

  • And for your info 5 songs lang si charice sa concert na yun.. Di nya solo concert yun. Kaya nya kaya puno-in ang maliit na venue solo lng sha? Yess, Regine has proven it many times.. even larger venues here in the States. Kung talgang sikat si Ms World Singing Froglet bakit wla shang solo concert dito sa US? ano???? may solo concert ba sha sa pilipinas??? saan sa singalong sa mall? hahahah

  • Hindi naman yata tama na sabihin mo na natatakot si Regine kay Charice. Regine is very supportive of newcomers. The reason why Regine agreed to sing a duet with Charice is to show her support. Nagkasakit lang talaga sya. Very professional po si Regine sa mga commitments nya. Kakanta at kakanta sya kahit may sakit, unless na lang siguro kung talagang di nya kaya, at siempre super nakakahawa ang swine flu.

  • di naman na kailangan mag effort ni regine casual singing lang to but still the birit and high notes.. wow.. si charice pag kumanta parang laging nagmamaganda..hataw na hataw parang sasabog na mukha..hahaha.. kaya ayan namamaga na face nya.. mas malaki ng nga mukha nya sa katawan nya kakabirit.. at pag bumirit si charice hirap n hirap yung mukha.. COOL KA LANG KASI CHARICE.. you cant beat what regine does in her career? maaring di nya narating US pero in pinas 20 years na sya STILL REIGNING

  • My god, the fans of Charice are just as CLASSLESS as she is.

    Porke't talunan ung idol nila sa singing contest.. lolz!

  • mismo... ilang taon lang laos agad yan.. nyway bat sumikat ba si charice? hahaha.. parang oa lang yung iba dyan.. cute sya kasi bata pa pero look at her now shes 17?18? muka na syang matrona.. bukas kakanta na lang yan sa mga cheap na bar.. di kasi class itsura nya.. yung voice?? well maraming ganyan amateur kumbaga..walang kakaiba sa boses ni charice.. tually di nga bagay boses nya sa itsura nya.. sorry sa mga fans ni cha...whats the name again? LOL

  • oo nga para shang pusang tumatahol... okay shes the asias songbird but shes not perfect.. at wag ka lumayo sa usapan. were talking abt regines rendition of this song. hirap sha...

    other songs she does best.

  • @idolfun14 charice was never instruted to not to mention ellen. youre talking about abscbn & gma rivalry honey. here in the US khit commercials minimention ang kalaban....

  • totoo naman eh dahil paos siya dito

  • totoo naman eh dahil paos siya dito

  • and for arguement sake if indeed she is instructed not to mention ellen on a particular show, she should at least mention her in other shows. puro david foster, oprah lang sha. Ingrata ang batang yun.. And so u know honey, Oprah and Ellen are good friends. Oprah guested on Ellen...and so as Martha Stewart guested on Rachel Rays show

  • Comment removed

  • jackmy008: ikaw na rin ang nagsabi na "LETS JUST SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT TO HER" eh bkit kung anoano pa sinasabi mo??? tumahimik ka nalng, OKKKKK!!!! MANGHUHULA KA BA????

  • well at least NAKILALA SIYA SA BUONG MUNDO. That is already a big achievement for a Filipina singer, na wala pang nakakagawa. Why can't we just be happy for her.

  • si Lea Salonga po kilala sa buong mundo, even before the existence of youtube.

  • ralph032789, you must appreciate that Lea Salonga is into musical theater and not into popular music. Musical theater is not well accepted around the world a popular music. hence the world "popular". I am fan of Lea's as well. She has won Tony and other theater acting awards, but what Charice has accomplished in a span of short time is not surpassed by any Filipina.

  • @mrsharbort Huh? What has Charice accomplished? A guest of Oprah? A supporting role on Glee? LOL. Those American shows exposed her to the whole world, but it does not make her better than all Filipino artists who chose a career in their own country. Charice went out of her country to collaborate with artists from the west, while with Regine, artists from the west went to the Philippines and performed with her. The latter is more impressive if you ask me.

  • @chonaV that is if I even ask you, which I do not plan any time soon. Well let me enumerate it to you what Charice has accomplished so far 1) She has a top 10 Debut Album on Billboard Charts, the first asian to have accomplished such feat 2) she landed a recurring role on a popular American TV Show Glee 3) She has a gold record award from Japan selling more than 100,000 copies, very few non Japanese singers accomplish that, do you still want me to continue?

  • @mrsharbort Charice is not the first Asian to have a single in the top 10. There's Jaya, Jocelyn Enriquez, Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls, etc. Regine has multiple platinum records in Asia, so does Christian Bautista, Sharon Cuneta, etc. I am proud of what Charice has accomplished. Regine was on an episode on Baywatch. Won for 2 consecutive ears on MTV Asia. Has the longest number one song in Asia (In Love W/ You). I can also go on for more.

  • @chonaV I did not say single, I said top 10 debut album. Jaya did not have a top 10 single, nor did Jocelyn Enriquez, Nicole is not full blooded Pinay and she part of PCD. I don't know where you got your information, if you can give me links to prove your claim, I would be very accept my mistake.

    I do not question Regine's accomplishments, I am narrating Charice's because you are somewhat question what she has achieved. And by the way, they only went as far as Asia.

  • @mrsharbort What's wrong with bing successful in Asia? You're giving a connotation that if someone is a hit in Asia it's not a big deal. So it's only artists wgo hav a career in America that we should look up to? Have you ever heard of colonial mentality? Look it up. It totally describes what you are :)

  • @chonaV @chonaV Did I even mention, being successful in Asia is not a big deal at all? My point is, I am explaining to you what she has achieved so far which you do not appreciate. For me, anything which you have done for yourself and your country, however small or big it is, is a big deal.

    Have you not mentioned that you would not level her with Regine et al, I would not even have mentioned that.

    How dare you accuse me of having colonial mentality? You assumed my friend.

  • @mrsharbort You said it clearly that Regine's career is ONLY in Asia. What's that supposed to mean? That it's a lesser achievement because it's ONLY Asia?  Again, your colonial worshiping mentality is so obvious. You probably think that people in America are superior beings while people in Asia are inferior. My goodness.

  • @chonaV My goodness, too. When I said Regine's career is only in Asia, I meant her career is only in Asia. Did I mention it is less of an achievement if it's only in Asia? It you perceived it that way, not my fault dear LOL.

    Probably? You said probably because you are assuming.

    Do not blame your insecurity on me. My goodness. LMAO.

  • @mrsharbort Come on. Don't play innocent. The implication of your statement clearly belittles local Filipino artists. Too late for you now. You've been exposed :)

  • @chonaV what are you talking about, Exposed, do you even hear yourself hahahahahaha. Post a proof that I belittle Filipino artists, then I will admit. Since you only base your accusations on your perception, that does not hold me guilty.

    Tsk tsk,

    I suggest, have solid proof before you accuse someone, otherwise it will make you a LIAR.

  • @mrsharbort I have exposed ur pathetic colonial mentality. You want proof? Here's what you said, "She has a top 10 Debut Album on Billboard Charts, the first asian to have accomplished such feat 2) she landed a recurring role on a popular American TV Show Glee" That is what you said. You give HIGHER regard to Charice beause of her achievements in the US. Those accomplishments aren't even #1, or a major role. But just because it's in the US, u go crazy over it. That's colonial mentality my dear.

  • @chonaV when you expose something, you need solid proof right?

    And your proof is quoting me. Hmmm I have the highest regard for her not HIGHER. But that does not mean I have less regard for local artists. Do you even know her story? If I chose to like her than other local artist, you mean to say, I have the mentality? LOL.

    You chose local artists, I don't care, but if you say she not proven anything that is a LIE

    Do you know that I was crazy with Regine even if she did not make it to the US?

  • @mrsharbort Geez, where else would I get my proof? Someone else's posts? Of course it has to be your posts. See, you just admitted that you have the HIGHEST regard towards anything American. Another proof of your colonial mentality. Honey, if you have the highest regard for something else specific, that means you have lesser regards towards the others. You have a colonial mentality not because you like Charice, but because of the reasons you think she's the best.

  • @chonaV I do not remember saying I have the HIGHEST regard towards anything AMERICAN. Lol. I have the HIGHEST regard for CHARICE, and she is not AMERICAN. LOL. I do not remember telling you why I think she is the best. How did you know?

  • @mrsharbort But you have enumerated her achievements in the US earlier saying that you think she's the best because of those achievements. There's nothing wrong in saying "For me, Charice is the best". It's the reason why you think is the best that I took notice.

  • @chonaV Sadly, she was not given a chance in the Philippines, so I cannot mention her achievements in the Philippines. Not her fault that she is not that popular back home. Even if I wanted to enumerate those she has achieved in the Philippines, I cannot because there is very little. Not her fault too that she is more recognized there and other parts of the world.

    In her generation, can you name someone who is better than her?

  • @mrsharbort Well, sometimes you need to find your niche. Even Lea couldn't really make it big in the Philippines even after her Miss Saigon stint. But she made it on top. Not just a top 10 or a cameo role. But she made it big in her field. As far as Charice's generation is concerned, of course she's way ahead of her league. And if she continues the success path that she's on. She could be greater than Lea, Regine, or Sharon. But she needs years of staying power to establish herself that respect.

  • @chonaV I could not have said it better.

  • Comment removed

  • @chonaV I do not remember saying those accomplishments make her a better Filipino artist, but if you ask me, which I do not see coming, she is the best in her generation. If you can mention one name who can match her vocal power, I'd be glad to compare her with Charice.

    As for Western artist going to the Phils to collaborate with a local artist, that is a great achievement, but you must appreciate this does not appeal to international media, so it's no bearing, popularity wise.

  • @mrsharbort Not every Filipino artist have the same opportunities or destiny. One's success does not necessarily make them better than the rest. Also, you cannot secure a status just for a year or two of a fruitful career. Try more than 20 yrs of consistent staying power in the business like Regine has. I wish Charice the best, and she does make me proud, but sorry, I cannot put her along Regine, Lea, Sharon, or even Sarah just because she's able to get a break in the US.

  • @chonaV exactly, why of all talented people in the PI she was the lucky one? Have you not been asking yourself? Again I did not say she is better, though I must admit there is something about her that American saw. Nobody is forcing you to level her with those you mentioned, as for me, what she has accomplished speak for itself.

  • @mrsharbort Lucky one? So those successful artists who chose to stay in the Philippines aren't lucky? She's a child wonder like Banig and Charlotte Church were. Where are they now? So please do not overrate Charice. Talk to me after 10 yrs if she's able to established herself as a seasoned artist. Otherwise, don't brag of her cameo breaks.

  • @chonaV every artist starts with something small, so do not underestimate her cameo breaks. If Banig and Charlotte did not make it big, what does it have to do with Charice? They are not of the same league. 10 years? How about now. I am talking about her achievements so far, which no Filipino has reached. In 10 years, I could not even enumerate her achievements.

  • @mrsharbort Yes, every artist starts somewhere small. And Charice has just started. She hasn't proven anything yet like those who have stayed on top for many years. Charice is a child wonder just like Bang and Charlotte were, and ur saying that they're not in the same league? Lol. What has she achieved that makes her so phenomenal to you? Guestings on American tv shows? Again your colonial mentality is kicking in honey.

  • @chonaV AGAIN dear, did you yourself find out what colonial mentality means? Looks like you keep on accusing of of having yet you do not understand it.

    When you said, she hasn't proven anything yet, I want to assume, you are having crab mentality. Google it.

    So all her achievements are nothing to you? Billboard Top 10 Debut Album, Gold Record in Japan, Gold inThailand, Magazine Covers, etc etc. Then how do you define achievement? Phenomenal, google it, it describes her.

  • @mrsharbort Oh I am proud of Charice, but I will not say that she's surpassed seasoned local Filipino artists just because she's able to have a career in the US. Not being a crab. Just being fair. Jessa Zaragoza was also dubbed as a phenomenal artists in the Philippines. But I'm sure u don't care because it's just the Philippines, right? You only go crazy to what the Americans say. Yes, you do have a colonial mentality :)

  • @chonaV really you proud? LOL. Up to you, I am not questioning your opinion I am questioning your accusation of me.

    I do not know how you define "SURPASS" in what terms or what concept so I will not contest anymore, because you seem to have your own interpretation LOL.

    How sure are you that I do not care about Jessa? LOL

    I go crazy about what the Americans say? LOL how about Europeans and other Asians, why you did not include them?

    No i don't have, you just do not understand the WORD LOLS

  • @mrsharbort Of course I am proud of Charice. Who wouldn't be? But I will not say that she's better than Lea Salonga or Regine just because she's having a career in the US. She needs to prove and establish herself. And proving your worth takes more than just a couple of years and breaks in the business. If she can win multiple Grammy's, star on different movies, have multiple number ones for several years. Then I myself would claim her as the greatest regardless of my personal preferences.

  • @chonaV Did I say she is better than Lea or Regine? Prove it. I said she is the best there is. Now I do not know how you understand that.

  • @mrsharbort Yes you have. Your very first post in which I responded said so. And by saying that she's the best, where does that put Lea?

  • @chonaV do you realize, Lea is into theater? And Charice is into pop? Lea is still the best Filipina theater actress the Philippines has produced.

  • @mrsharbort Regardless whether Lea is into theater or Charice is mainstream pop. You have to give due credit to the one who has proven their worth in their field. Lea has won Tony and Olivier awards. She's the original MAIN cast of a MAJOR broadway musica. She's been in the business for decades. What has Charice achieved in her field? Not even 2 yrs in the business. No #1 song. No major role in a movie or TV. No awards. Just breaks here and there. You can't put her within Lea's stature.

  • @chonaV I did, refer to my comment here 1 year ago and I still do.

    What has Charice achieved? Again, she is the first and only Filipina who has an international ALBUM, landing on No. 8 on the US Billoard 200, and other Billboard Charts. Tell me who has done that?

    Yes I cannot put here within Lea' stature, and I am not doing that, not yet.

    You are enumerating Lea's achievements in the US, so you have colonial mentality as well. LOL

  • @mrsharbort Lea, Sharon, Regine, Jaya, Christian Bautista, all had international albums. International does not only include the US my dear. You need to stop thinking about the US only. I was enumerating Lea's achievements in her career. Olivier is not US, it's Brit. And her achievements are significant. Like I said, if Charice can win multiple Grammy's, multiple number ones, a major role in Hollywood, then it doesn't matter anymore which country. For she did make it on top.

  • @chonaV oh I know international is not in the US only, but you must admit that US is the BIGGEST market, next is Japan. Well, she is only eligible for next year's grammy, we will see, as David Foster said, if she will not win this year, there is still the year after and so on. She is basically starting. Other artists, take years before they make it big. Take Lady Gaga for instance.

  • @mrsharbort Hollywood still commands trends in the pop culture. Hollywood gets the most global exposure. Anyone who makes it on US TV gets seen globally whether they are talented or not. Even that old filipino guy who auditioned for American Idol became a sensation. Does that mean his better than anyone else? Of course not, he just happen to be lucky enough to be on a Hollywood show.

    Anyways, I'm sleepy (it's 12:30am here in Cali). I'll reply to your other posts tomorrow, LOL.

  • @chonaV once and for all, do you even understand colonial mentality? LOL. If I take pride on Charice, whose career is taking off in the US and around the world, does that render me having "colonial mentality"? I feel the same for Arnel Pineda and Manny Pacquiao and even Bruno Mars and the new guy in Glee, who are both half Filipinos, will that be another story? LMAO

  • @mrsharbort You, have a colonial mentality. Look it up. Taking pride of Charice's success is different from making her better than other Filipinos just because she has a career in the US. Manny Pacquiao has proven himself by beating his opponents year after year. Charice has not won anything. Just cameo breaks. Wait until she's ripen. When she's won multiple awards. Multiple #1's. She's not even a one hit wonder yet.

  • @chonaV ok, again, I do not know how you define words.

    How many times will I have to tell you, I did not say is she better than anyone, I said for me she is the best there is.

    What is winning for you? Does someone have to win something to prove their worth? Winning does not always entail SUCCESS. And besides she is not competing per se. Do you even realized she just released her album this year? Wait for the Grammy's next year if you want winning. LOL

  • @mrsharbort You may not have actually said that she's better, but it is OBVIOUSLY implied in your posts that you see her as the better artist because of her achievements in the US. Yes, this is not a contest, but you need to respect local artists who don't share the same opportunities as Charice did in the international field. Her situation is different from the others. And you cannot say that she's better just because she made a career for herself in the US.

  • @chonaV let me ask you this, why did she get lucky? she must be doing something right, right?

  • @mrsharbort Of course Charice did something right. She has a wonderful gift of music. And I'm glad she never stopped singing even after being judged unfairly in that Filipino singing contest. I never said that she didn't do anything right.

  • @chonaV Banig had the same opportunity, what happened?
