Charice

Probably the best vocalist to come out since Mariah or Whitney, Charice is a powerhouse that got her start on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2008, linking her to Celine Dion and legendary composer David Foster. Her raw talent is incomprable to any recording artist out right now. Her new album Charice, out today on iTunes, feautures a bunch of cookie cutter pop songs, without the cheese, highlighting her vocal range, even featuring R&B artist Iyaz of "Replay" fame. The songs would be torturous if sung by another average pop star with all fluff and no talent, but they are actually enjoyable because of her incredibly mature voice. It's pretty evident that she had the absolute BEST songwriters helping her along the way, no doubt. Still, the 18-year-old has certainly come a long way from living in poverty in the Philippines. God bless! Listen to her single below.
