The Diva that is Charice Pempengco

If "jologs" is appreciating real talent, then I'm really jologs. So Neil, I'm backing you up.

Charice Pempengco really is an outstanding singer. She more than wow'ed me with this performance, albeit I already know how awesome she is!

I was VERY disappointed when what's-his-name won over her in one of the "singing contests" in ABS-CBN a few years ago. I was rooting for Charice because IMO, singing competitions should be concentrating more on talent, not looks (or, in what's-his-name's case, pa-cute magnetism). Hey, sure, what's-his-name was cute and all that, but dang, he wasn't that good a singer. A decent performer, yes, but definitely not the one who should've won. Problem with these so-called talent search shows is that they rarely ever choose the real talents. And the problem with most Filipinos is that they rarely ever appreciate those people lacking in looks but with real talent. (Jasmine Trias and Sarah Geronimo come into mind. Sorry, but I was rooting for LaToya London and Mau Marcelo. Not that LaToya wasn't pretty; she just wasn't...Pinoy. And you know how Filipinos can be TOO proud with this "Pinoy pride" thingie. As for the case of Sarah Geronimo, yeah, she's great, but you should've heard Mau sing --- greater.)

Whatever Charice is lacking (for those saying that whoever is prettier than her), she makes up for her talent and soul.

So EAT THIS, you "Sam's better than Charice because he's sooooo cute" people! Kailan ba naman kasi tumingin sa tunay na talent ang Dos (at Syete)? Pfft!
