Charice wowed the cast and audience of Good Morning America with her own rendition of Whitney Houston hits “I Have Nothing” and “I Will Always Love You”.

She also sang her own version of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive”.

When asked about Charice, David Foster was all praises and even made a comparison to Celine Dion.

“She just kinda reminds me of the first time I saw Celine singing in a tent when she was 18 and I told Celine that she would sing with Barbra Streisand. And I told Charice that she would sing with Celine and it’s all come true. She’s amazing,”

Charice is becoming a household name here in the US. Aside from her guest appearances in the Ellen Degeneres Show and the Oprah Winfrey Show, her duet with Celine Dion at Madison Square Garden, she has also recently performed at the Carousel of Hope and Macy’s 150th anniversary.

Charice Pempengco is currently here in the US to record her first international album, which is scheduled to be released early next year.

We wish you all the best Charice! You make our country and us, Filipinos proud. God bless!

However, according to the staff, due to some technical problems and lack of air time, the segment wasn’t included. Then they said it was gonna be aired on Sunday, during PBB’s Christmas party. I wasn’t able to watch the program so the following day I visited Retz’s blog to see the update about the segment being aired. But alas, when I got there I found out that the segment was totally canceled and won’t be shown anymore. What made it interesting is this:

Medyo nakakahiyang aminin pero ganun eh, they (ABS-CBN mgt) feel like Retzwerx and the blogging community didn’t made an impact on their shows.

So that was the reason why they didn’t air that particular segment because they felt that this particular blog didn’t have much of an impact or effect on their show. If you have been visiting Retzwerx during the time PBB was showing, you’ll see that the site gets thousands of hits everyday and I know for a fact that those unique hits or visitors came to read any updates regarding PBB. I wasn’t a PBB fan, but because I always visit his blog, I read all about the PBB updates and get to know what’s happening without watching it on TV. To a lot of people especially fans, this blog became the unofficial site for PBB updates.

This has gathered a lot of attention especially in the blogging community. The Cat is enraged with what happened, Jobert says this is why he prefers GMA 7 and Yuga has raised some good points about this matter.

We’ll see if blogs and blogging really doesn’t have an impact.
