In case you missed it, here is the much-anticipated Star King episode, featuring teen singing wonder, Charice. The 18-year-old’s special return marks the third time she has appeared on the popular Korean TV talent show – the very same show that made the world take notice of her jaw-dropping, phenomenal voice via YouTube.
Part I
Charice will be going to appear on South Korean program Star King on July 24th according to her Twitter page.
For all the K-Pop fans, you know what Star King is right? For Everyone who doesn’t know what Star King is, it’s a South Korean variety program where Korean celebs show up to see talented people perform their specific talents. On this program a while back, Charice was invited to go and preform on the show and now she’s going back! I wonder if she’s going to preform again or if she’ll be watching other talented people preform. If you get Star King, tune in July 24th!
Charice – Star King Appearance:
One of the many things I admire about Charice, besides her heavenly voice, is that the 18-yr-old has the ability to touch ALL people because of her down-to-earthness, as seen in this candid and informal interview with reporter/fangirl, Kim D’Eon on Entertainment Tonight Canada.
Oh, and be on the lookout towards the end for an impromptu Cha-esque a cappella of Alicia Keys’s, “If I Ain’t Got You.”
How can you not love these two even more?

Listen to these beautifully done piano covers by Yoonha Hwang, better known as Yoonha85 on YouTube. This incredibly skilled pianist from Korea has a real gift for playing all his works by ear, no sheet music – which is a talent in itself. And what makes the 24-year-old even more enjoyable to watch, is that he’s in his own element – putting his signature style on each song he covers, without abandoning the original sound.

Rising young diva, Charice once again proved her God-given vocal chops are nothing short of incredibleness with her goosebump-giving performance of “In This Song” on chat show, Live! with Regis and Kelly.

The Filipina phenom Charice was shown “buying out the mall” on IYAZ’s YouTube channel. The two of them went around the mall singing, and Charice made a very special purchase of Addidas sneakers. Though she claims she didn’t buy them because of IYAZ, he thinks otherwise. The video ended with shots of Charice and IYAZ performing together.
Check out the video here and if you haven’t already purchased Charice’s new album, go support! Also, IYAZ’s debut album REPLAY drops this summer, so look out for that too!
IYAZ AND CHARICE “A DAY IN PHILLY”:
Charice’s self-titled international CD has landed the #8 position on the Billboard 200, selling 43,000 copies. The 18-year-old songbird’s impressive album chart debut is also the FIRST EVER for an Asian and Filipino solo artist. You go girl, keep shining bright!

Where can you find some of the best covers on Charice’s “Pyramid?” Youtube, baby! Here are some covers I’ve selected as the best:
Youtube’s igstayo’s cover:
The guitarist and piano chick kill it.’
The 17-year-old singing sensation’s official music video of “Pyramid” premiered last night on her pal, Oprah’s website.
The concept is very simple and not overly glossy, but focuses on the youthful woes of rejection – you go through self-doubt because you didn’t make the cut. Then think, what am I about? After some soul searching, you finally have an Aha! moment.
You can also view the video on Oprah’s page since the one posted is missing the last few minute scenes.
