IF UR ENTIRE FAMILY IS FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER LIKE PULLING HAIR SLAP FACE TO EACH OTHER ROLLING TO DA FLOOR PUNCHING HEAD BANG TO THE WALL WELL THAT'S UR FAMILY BUT ...DON'T DO THIS TO LEA AND CHARICE. THEY RESPECT EACH OTHER LET'S SUPPORT OR KABABAYAN. OKAY?!
all i can say here...the two distinct talented vocals are really awesome...nobody dominates the other... hope they can have at least one single/track to make...
Its very obvious that Charice respects Lea very much. She barely increase her voice, to give way to Lea's own to be heard. I mean, we all know that Charice has strong voice, yet you could barely hear her here. Lea has already proven her worth a singer throughout the world, and yes, I believe Charice would be as well in the future. For now, we should just be happy for the all the glory this two singer brought to the Philippines.
@musicheals091 Lea Salonga can't get "underpaid" because performers' unions in the US are very strict in enforcing what's on their pay scale. Given Salonga' elite Broadway star status, her management team makes sure she doesn't get the bad end of the deal.
I LOVE Charice and wish her only the best. However, unless she wins a Grammy or an AMA (to match Lea Salonga's Tony), she won't be in the same elite league (in terms of official pay classification and star status when signing contracts) that Lea Salonga is in. Note that in addition to Salonga's American Tony, she also has her British Olivier (she's elite status both in the US and in the UK), and her Flower Drum Song cast album also has a Grammy nod. Charice has a LOOOONGGGG way to go.
@michellyeponiny Don't forget A Whole New World's (Aladdin) Oscar nod, with Salonga also performing. But yes, it would be interesting (and inspiring to her countrymen) for Charice to go for a Grammy, too.
@musicheals091 How many presidents and world figures has Charice sang for? Her numbers pale way in comparison to Salongas's. Charice is as famous as pop music gives her the opportunity to be. Don't ever compare her with Salonga, however, as she's NOTHING in terms of respect, money, and accolades (we're not even talking longevity here). Maybe when Charice has lasted at least 30 years in the business the way Salonga has...
@musicheals091 Lea Salonga earns big. She's got royalties from Miss Saigon and all her other recordings, plus her Tony status puts her on top of the pay scale each time she appears in a musical. Lea Salonga beats Charice not only in critical acclaim, but also in earnings.
@sintaks29, what is charice doing? she's earning money here and abroad, with 3 international album by 2012. For your info, she's a WB artist, DF wants to bring her with him, but WB did not allow DF because they knew that charice is a great investment.
However, Charice DOES deserve all the accolades she gets, as she's got real talent that should make her the next pop superstar (although we know it's not going to happen since she's not caucasian and won't be supported by America's mainstream white audience. But kudos to Salonga for keeping on supporting Charice in her attempt at international stardom!
It's appalling to read the comments of ignoramuses here. Salonga is at the top of her field. She's the ONLY actor in the ENTIRE history of theater to win both the Olivier & the Tony for a single role, on top of her many first & onlys. And she remains active internationally, even after 30 years in the business. Has Charice accomplished anything REMOTELY close to Salonga in her field of pop music? Any Grammys? Billboard #1s? Charice should be honored to mentioned in the same sentence as Salonga!
@musicheals091 All right, so who's in demand right now? Lea Salonga is performing at concerts all over the world and is preparing for another Broadway lead role for 2012. What is Charice doing? Is she performing at all after being dropped from David Foster's roll?
@milon6xxx9, ang galing mong mag advice hindi ka naman marunong kumanta. If you criticize you must be excellent in that field, your comment is a product of jealousy.
both are fantastic best singers in the world. i am caucasian from canada. saw charice on ellen and i am hooked the talent you have in the phillipines is amazing. because of charice the world is now watching the phillipines.
Kudos to the many efforts of Filipino talents to be seen and heard outside the country. God has blessed our country with so much and so most glory must be given to the Giver! Love you Lea and Charice!
cmon!!!! it's disgusthing!!! please!!! don't compare the voice of LEA to Charisse! pinoy ako! i know!!! Lea's voice i sophisticated and SO ssooo so not comparable to dat Gasul kid!!! she has a powerful voice, YES! pang KARAOKE!!!! cmon Guys! No class at ALL!!!!
@milon6xxx9 Dude, do you even know what you're talking about? Charice has a really good voice. That is undeniable. her voice is just as good as lea salongas voice. Music is an art form, however you express it. Would you say cubism is not art just because it doesn't have the smooth and graceful lines of the rennaisance?
Both Charice and lea have incredible and powerful voices, they complimented each other, as well as the chorus, to present to us a beautiful rendition of heal the world. nuff said
@milon6xxx9 who's no class at all? during the Obama's presidential inauguration and specially the latest SSB 9/11 tribute in Florida, who's the singer invited to sing the usa national anthem? It was CHARICE! try to search about Lea Salonga's hesitation to have a duet with Charice to sing "Listen". Lea Salonga begs off from performing 'Listen' duet with Charice By ROWENA JOY A. SANCHEZ... SO NOW before you say something no good to Charice, try to analyze and search what is what??? okey!!!
Now, try to compare yourself to charice if who is the real disgusting and no class at all, giving a non-sense comment. I'm a Filipino too but I do limit my words. Supposedly we're thankful that somebody brings good honor to our country, as it's once, if not seldom only in a lifetime.
why is it that citizens in other countries don't love their country. When someone said i love my country, they will react. It just like in business like Jollibee and McDo, when one locate in one place, expect the other will build in the days to come. They don't make issues, they compete.
I cannot wait for Charice to come back to Vancouver, BC or Seattle, WA. Lea Salonga came to Vancouver, BC at the PNE last August 28, 2011 where she was mobbed by thousands. Too bad, it was an outdoor event; if it was inside the Pacific Coliseum thousands more would have been able to see her. Nevertheless, Lea Salonga's show was awesome even if it was siksikan. When Charice comes back it will be at the Rogers Arena; I will surely be there also for sure.
I loooooooove Lea Salonga I listened to her growing up she was always the voice behing the disney music... Love her and she is the OG... But I love Charice too they r both amazing in their own special ways
Mr Ryan Cayabyab said in an interview that Regine's talent may only appear once in every 100 yrs, because Regine's power and range is very extraordinary. Sure some young talents could also remarkably belt high tunes but they havent been singing for more than 25 years like Regine did. Since age 14, and now at 41, her voice is still topnotch!
there we go, this is a fair video, i once saw i video of this, but i dont how it happened, in charice part you can't almost hear her voice, but in this video her voice is so clear. So in that video, all praise was on lea.
Y'know I loved Lea Salonga's voice 1st 5 notes into the 1st song I heard her sing... "On My Own" in 10th anniversary concert of Les Miserables on TV. One of the best voices ever was my reaction.
I am Irish American and I didn't know Lea or her heritage. I just knew her voice and that was all I needed to know.
That she comes from the remarkable Fillipino tradition of loving music is of course part of her but for me it is her voice that matters.
Mabuhay CHARICE at LEAH isang kayamanan kayo na maituturing ng ating bansa! kau ay isa sa mga nagppkita ng galing ng pinoy sa buong mundo!!! More power sa inyong dalawa God Bless!!
Mabuhay CRARICE at LEAH isang kayamanan kayo na maituturing ng ating bansa! kau ay isa sa mga nagppkita ng galing ng pinoy sa buong mundo!!! More power sa inyong dalawa God Bless!!
Filipino entertainment is as primitive as its current state.
Before singing about healing the world, Filipinos should fix its own problems. It's already 2011 and the Philippines is stuck in the middle ages. Puro kantahan, iyakan, yabangan, pinoy pride...pag uwi, walang makain tapos tuloy sa OFW office para mag trabaho ng ibang bansa.
What is glaring for Filipinos is the dearth of heroes and the feeling of hopelessness. Abused and colonized , and sold by politicians down the gutter, this comments are understandable.
So when outstanding personnalities comes along, Pacqiao, Lea Salonga and now Charice, please forgive us.The illusion is our hope !
This is like the best filipino singers ever! well lets include Regine Velasquez..she too can sing..they should all sing together. No matter this is CHARICE's time to be recognized with her amazing powerful voice. Please come visit the Michigan Land. I want to hear ur voice in person and get that chills. lol
why is it always anyone compares who is better, both have a different voice genre'. in performance, i can't say who is better because they are ones of the best singers we have, Filipinos that made our country known and popular and recognized by the whole world. okay, here's what i can say about the two as a singer, lea has an heavenly and angelic voice that makes you up in the air bringing to heaven. for Charice he has a powerful and high belt out voice that make you shocked and surprised.
Bias talaga ang ABS CBN, hindi pinapanalo si charice. Basically gusto lang nila yung matangkad , gaya ni sarah gernonimo yung tipong mapakinabangan sa pelikula at iba pang klase ng project. No hate to sarah example lang. Oo nga pala! nsan na yung champion ung lalaking nakalaban ni charice? May Career ba?
Some fool people dont know anything about music...Why would they compare lea to charice...Lea is in a broadway and has a angel voice while charice is a pop star just like mariah etc..Dont compare her to charice they have different talents!
@sideringknockout right! I really don't understand as to why people compares them. Lea is a broadway singer, meaning she acts while she sings, thus her singing should be clear and sophisticated. Charice is a pop singer like Justin B, Taylor S, and the rest. Side, Lea Salonga came from a well to do family and studied broadway singing and all those stuff whilst Charice has no formal singing education. People should be aware of that fact and should stop voicing opinions when they're clueless.
hmm pangit ng audio ng abs nito.. hehe sorry nmn s mtatamaan ah. comment lng po. ntakpan kz msyado ng tugtog ung voice ng mga singer.. khit parang birit na birit na.. ndi maintindihan msyado
pareho po silang magaling at pareho rin pang international.... para silang mag ina.... ung boses ni lea salonga.. parang boses ni lea mitchele but mas maganda ang boses ni lea salonga.. .. c charice. ka level nya sina whitney,celine... okk....
@tagabukidnonako iba naman yung genre ni lea eh....She sings like an angel that's the way she si and charice is a diva like celine and whitney etc..so dont compare..iba=iba tayo lahat ng talent...
Si Charice maraming kaparehong boses?? C'mon people... She was the "chosen one" because she IS unique. Kung mraming syang katulad, then it should be logical to say there should've been a lot of filipinos in Glee, or in Oprah, or with David F right now. Doesn't it makes sense?
And PLEASE..dont overreact with your ethnic pride. Things like "I'm so proud to be a filipino" or "Filipinos are the greatest" are so like, making a mountain out of a molehill. Seriously..everybody can be great. Just sayin'
@MrMckoy33 Swerte? I hope you know na hindi pa-raffle na may tambyolo ang pagpili ng talent. At ang pumili sa kanya, are the experts in the global field. Sandali lang ang video ni Charice dito sa youtube, at napil agad. Yung iba, taon na ang itinagal nila dito with thousands of videos to count, yet hindi parin napansin. I wouldn't call it "swerte". So I'll still stick by my views.
@MrMckoy33 Hindi video ni Charice ang una nilang nakita. For sure marami na silang nakitang iba. Matagal na tong youtube diba? Marami naring nag-upload ng talents dito.
Halimbawa kung pagpipiliin ka sa limang bagay, kailangan mong makita lahat diba? Hindi kung anong una mong makita.
@Batibot390 Well said! I really hate it when others go jumping into "Filipino Pride BABY!"... P.S - I am Filipino myself and I believe that others can be great too xD
They are both great.. They are one of the most beautiful voices I have heard... Their voice blend so well together.. Lea's main strength is her crystal clear voice 0:02-0:25.. Charice's trump card is her powerful voice 1:18-1:33. They really difficult to compare simply because they are totally different from each other and have so minimal aspects where you can compare them justifiably.
^_^ since you all want to compare them which they shouldnt be.. Take note this is only for the sake of comparing and it is just my opinion.. I will only mention their strengths only that are easily noticable.. Lea's timbre is like a crytal clear tone (suited for classical broadway), her speech and vocal transition are excellent. Charice vocal weight/power is her asset, superb speech& vocal transition,wide vocal range (a messo-soprano that can go low as alto and as high as dramatic soprano).
Beautiful voices. So they're Filipinos. Big deal. I say they're good just because they're good and not because they're Filipino. Misplaced pride is arrogance with no basis. People need to remember that.
@filledvoid i totally completely agree with you. it's actually embarassing already. For me, Charice is amazing because of her own doing, nothing to do with her race at all. Us Filipinos should realize that we just happen to be born Filipinos, we had no choice in the matter. Charice is amazing because Charice is Charice. Period
@filledvoid It's more like they're good and they are filipinos where English is a 2nd language. And it's more like being proud than pride I think. If other filipinos think other wise, then I don't know. Hahaha!
@tatapeping Her achievement is not the achievement of the country. It is hers alone. Be proud of her, not "Proud to be Pinoy" - that is not National pride, it's jumping in the bandwagon pride.
@filledvoid it's obviously her achievement, no doubt. I speak from the heart when I say I am 'proud to be pinoy' and my honest remark should not be categorized as such.I did not just magically become patriotic because a pop star risen to stardom happens to be Filipino. I take pride in Filipino excellence. She represents our country, and that's what she does.An Olympian fights for victory for himself and his nation.Charice is no different. She is known to be patriotic and I respect her for that.
@tatapeping Then be proud of her instead, and not say "Proud to be Pinoy" when I see no achievement of the people as a whole is present in this video.
@filledvoid Just because there is no symbol of national pride or anything written in their foreheads saying 'Filipino Pride',then I'm sorry if you can't see any 'presence'.You choose to see rather than feel.You have different views & beliefs,so do I.Hence,you are in no place to educate people & dictate my emotions based on your own beliefs.I know a few who react like this,ashamed of their identity & cringe at the sound of 'Proud to be Pinoy'.You think not, but that's racism in a different level.
@tatapeping How do I feel? I feel proud for her. I am saying in context with the current achievement. I can be proud to be a Filipino. But I'll feel it when we really do something as a race. I don't wantonly throw around phrases like being proud of the ourselves because of an achievement of an individual. I am not ashamed that I am a Filipino, but I can be ashamed of you, or any "Pinoy". Stop throwing around 'racism' like it was always some tool for oppressing us.
@filledvoid Come on, you almost got me there. Until you said that you are 'proud of her'. Happy, maybe..But proud of her?!? Do you know her personally to profess such strong emotions towards her? I don't but I'm proud mainly because we come from the same race & they exude talent. Filipino excellence, be it individual or as a whole, is something to be celebrated and proud of. You are in no position to measure my national pride. Proud to be a 'De la Cruz'. Proud to be Pinoy. Same Banana.
@filledvoid How could you be proud of someone you don't know? I wouldn't be proud of a person on the street playing a guitar but I'd certainly feel entertained..NOT PROUD. You refuse to be proud of this person representing our country..so, to be clear..why are you proud of her exactly? Because she's good? Sorry to burst your bubble but you seem to have a bad case of MISPLACED PRIDE. You are contradicting yourself.
@tatapeping She is not representing our country. You just assumed she is because she is Filipino. I feel proud FOR her as a person because she got to the top with her talent and determination. She is someone to look up to.
You like to say represent just because someone did something good, just to elate a collective that includes YOU. But when someone does something embarrassing it suddenly becomes an individual endeavor.
@filledvoid I have watched several of their interviews and both have voiced their desire to. In one interview, Lea had publicly declared that she would like to be an ambassador to represent our country in any way. I watched them all on youtube, by the way. I did not assume. You did.
@filledvoid I find your argument on misplaced pride very interesting but I had hoped you have opened your mind a bit with such an in-depth topic you opened. I do not want to argue that you are proud for/of (you used both although none has helped in your argument, really) because this is how you feel. You are going around in circles, and are sidetracked by unnecessary thoughts like ‘represent’ and ‘ashamed’.For me, it simply boils down to one’s culture.
@filledvoid ....Filipinos tend to be a proud nation even when a fellow countryman succeeds individually. This pride exists in other countries, as well. But for some cultures, this is may be defined as misplaced pride. You are a Filipino so you, of all people, should understand that this is who we are and how we react. It is not necessary to get vexed and dismiss a person with misplaced pride without understanding his culture just because other people are not comfortable with their views...
@filledvoid We do not judge or question any culture because we do not need to agree, anyway. Instead,we have to UNDERSTAND (why do we react like this)& ACCEPT.We should be tolerant of people who choose to be proud of who they are.We have no right to belittle them or say they are wrong for voicing their PRIDE. What is right in a certain society could be wrong in another. Don’t feel bad that I do not agree with your view.We’re both neither right nor wrong. We just have to accept our differences.
I hope we stop telling that we're proud to be filipino because of them we should say we proud for them because of what they achieve in their lives and lets support that...its just so embarrassing when you read comments that always saying that they are proud to be pinoy there's nothing to be proud about ourselves cuz wer'e not the one who has talent..when other races read our comment s they probably so sick of hearing and reading that we are so proud to be pinoy because of them....
I LOVE THEM BOTH.........PRIDE OF THE PHILIPPINES.....CLASSIC VOICES...... HANGGANG DITO MAY CRABS PA DIN, AKALA KO NABENTA NA KAYO LAHAT SA PALENGKE.......MAMATAY KAYO LAHAT SA INGGIT !!!! THE BEST OF THE PHILIPPINES...LEA SALONGA AND CHARICE PEMPENGCO !!!!!
This is a rare event, having the two finest voices in the country and certainly two of the best in the world singing together! So let's just be proud and support them. After all they're doing all the work to bring honor to our country and our support is the only thing we can contribute. You know guys, heal the world is not only a song, it starts with each everyone of us.
To all Filipinos who hate Charice, please stop being stubborn. Just support her and be proud of her because she is doing her way for us to become known in this world.
wonderful to see amazing talents singing together. its about time someone follows the success of lea salonga. and its wonderful that that person comes in the form of a once-in-a-generation talent like Charice.
This is the first time I heard two singers who can blend their voices to sound as one. Not to mention that they both excel in different genres. Charice in the POP or contemporary culture and Lea in Broadway Musicals. I love watching Lea's interviews because she speaks like she grew up in New York! Very articulate, fluent, smart, and classy.
AND ANOTHER THING THIS IS NOT SOME KINDA BOXING OR MIX MARTIAL ARTS ARENA MUSTA LUK AGAIN THIS IS NOT A FIGHT. IF UR ENTIRE FAMILY IS FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER LIKE PULLING HAIR SLAP FACE TO EACH OTHER ROLLING TO DA FLOOR PUNCHING HEAD BANG TO THE WALL WELL THAT'S UR FAMILY BUT ...DON'T DO THIS TO LEA AND CHARICE. THEY RESPECT EACH OTHER LET'S SUPPORT OR KABABAYAN. OKAY?!

When Charice comes back it will be at the Rogers Arena; I will surely be there also for sure.

Mr Ryan Cayabyab said in an interview that Regine's talent may only appear once in every 100 yrs, because Regine's power and range is very extraordinary. Sure some young talents could also remarkably belt high tunes but they havent been singing for more than 25 years like Regine did. Since age 14, and now at 41, her voice is still topnotch!

Y'know I loved Lea Salonga's voice 1st 5 notes into the 1st song I heard her sing... "On My Own" in 10th anniversary concert of Les Miserables on TV. One of the best voices ever was my reaction.
I am Irish American and I didn't know Lea or her heritage. I just knew her voice and that was all I needed to know.
That she comes from the remarkable Fillipino tradition of loving music is of course part of her but for me it is her voice that matters.
She is a gift to all of us. So glad.

Filipino entertainment is as primitive as its current state.
Before singing about healing the world, Filipinos should fix its own problems. It's already 2011 and the Philippines is stuck in the middle ages. Puro kantahan, iyakan, yabangan, pinoy pride...pag uwi, walang makain tapos tuloy sa OFW office para mag trabaho ng ibang bansa.

sideringknockout 1 year ago 2
@sideringknockout right! I really don't understand as to why people compares them. Lea is a broadway singer, meaning she acts while she sings, thus her singing should be clear and sophisticated. Charice is a pop singer like Justin B, Taylor S, and the rest. Side, Lea Salonga came from a well to do family and studied broadway singing and all those stuff whilst Charice has no formal singing education. People should be aware of that fact and should stop voicing opinions when they're clueless.

They are both great.. They are one of the most beautiful voices I have heard... Their voice blend so well together.. Lea's main strength is her crystal clear voice 0:02-0:25.. Charice's trump card is her powerful voice 1:18-1:33. They really difficult to compare simply because they are totally different from each other and have so minimal aspects where you can compare them justifiably.
666mirana 1 year ago
^_^ since you all want to compare them which they shouldnt be.. Take note this is only for the sake of comparing and it is just my opinion.. I will only mention their strengths only that are easily noticable.. Lea's timbre is like a crytal clear tone (suited for classical broadway), her speech and vocal transition are excellent. Charice vocal weight/power is her asset, superb speech& vocal transition,wide vocal range (a messo-soprano that can go low as alto and as high as dramatic soprano).

@filledvoid it's obviously her achievement, no doubt. I speak from the heart when I say I am 'proud to be pinoy' and my honest remark should not be categorized as such.I did not just magically become patriotic because a pop star risen to stardom happens to be Filipino. I take pride in Filipino excellence. She represents our country, and that's what she does.An Olympian fights for victory for himself and his nation.Charice is no different. She is known to be patriotic and I respect her for that.

@filledvoid Just because there is no symbol of national pride or anything written in their foreheads saying 'Filipino Pride',then I'm sorry if you can't see any 'presence'.You choose to see rather than feel.You have different views & beliefs,so do I.Hence,you are in no place to educate people & dictate my emotions based on your own beliefs.I know a few who react like this,ashamed of their identity & cringe at the sound of 'Proud to be Pinoy'.You think not, but that's racism in a different level.
tatapeping 6 months ago
@tatapeping How do I feel? I feel proud for her. I am saying in context with the current achievement. I can be proud to be a Filipino. But I'll feel it when we really do something as a race. I don't wantonly throw around phrases like being proud of the ourselves because of an achievement of an individual. I am not ashamed that I am a Filipino, but I can be ashamed of you, or any "Pinoy". Stop throwing around 'racism' like it was always some tool for oppressing us.
filledvoid 6 months ago
@filledvoid Come on, you almost got me there. Until you said that you are 'proud of her'. Happy, maybe..But proud of her?!? Do you know her personally to profess such strong emotions towards her? I don't but I'm proud mainly because we come from the same race & they exude talent. Filipino excellence, be it individual or as a whole, is something to be celebrated and proud of. You are in no position to measure my national pride. Proud to be a 'De la Cruz'. Proud to be Pinoy. Same Banana.

@filledvoid How could you be proud of someone you don't know? I wouldn't be proud of a person on the street playing a guitar but I'd certainly feel entertained..NOT PROUD. You refuse to be proud of this person representing our country..so, to be clear..why are you proud of her exactly? Because she's good? Sorry to burst your bubble but you seem to have a bad case of MISPLACED PRIDE. You are contradicting yourself.
tatapeping 6 months ago
@tatapeping She is not representing our country. You just assumed she is because she is Filipino. I feel proud FOR her as a person because she got to the top with her talent and determination. She is someone to look up to.
You like to say represent just because someone did something good, just to elate a collective that includes YOU. But when someone does something embarrassing it suddenly becomes an individual endeavor.

@filledvoid I have watched several of their interviews and both have voiced their desire to. In one interview, Lea had publicly declared that she would like to be an ambassador to represent our country in any way. I watched them all on youtube, by the way. I did not assume. You did.

@filledvoid I find your argument on misplaced pride very interesting but I had hoped you have opened your mind a bit with such an in-depth topic you opened. I do not want to argue that you are proud for/of (you used both although none has helped in your argument, really) because this is how you feel. You are going around in circles, and are sidetracked by unnecessary thoughts like ‘represent’ and ‘ashamed’.For me, it simply boils down to one’s culture.
tatapeping 6 months ago
@filledvoid ....Filipinos tend to be a proud nation even when a fellow countryman succeeds individually. This pride exists in other countries, as well. But for some cultures, this is may be defined as misplaced pride. You are a Filipino so you, of all people, should understand that this is who we are and how we react. It is not necessary to get vexed and dismiss a person with misplaced pride without understanding his culture just because other people are not comfortable with their views...
