Star King - Charice Pempengco

Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, better known by her screen name Charice (born May 10, 1993), is a Filipina singer who became a singing sensation throughout the world through YouTube. She started joining singing contests at the age of seven but became widely known in her native Philippines when she placed third in Little Big Star.

Early Years

Charice's mother, Raquel Relucio, had and still has a very musical ear, on May 10th 1993; she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco in Cabuyao, Laguna, in the Philippines, not expecting the works to follow in this baby girl’s future.

Raquel noticed Charice could sing very high when she sang “Happy Birthday” at the age of 2; so taking her music experience into an account, she started teaching and training Charice at the tender age of 4, along with Raquel’s sister. With a lot of hard work and perseverance, Charice began singing in local contests in the Philippines when she was only 7 years old. Charice began her journey with one priority in mind, to help her mother through the hardships they went through, especially with living and finances. It was when she was 8 or 9 years old that she got onto a table and sang “My Heart Will Go On”, originally sung by the famous Celine Dion, that people realized that she is a natural performer.

Britain's Got Talent - Andrew Johnston

Andrew Johnston a 13-yr. old kid who won 3rd place in the 2008 Britain’s Got Talent. This boy’s voice makes me think one thing: an angel. He’s got the face and the pretty eyes and the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in my life. I cried when I heard him sing Pie Hesu. He is truly inspiring and amazing. I hope he makes it very far. Johnston had signed a record deal with SyCo Music, Simon Cowell’s division of Sony BMG, with an album to be produced after the Britain’s Got Talent Live Tour.

Britain's Got Talent - Charlie Green

Charlie Green is the son of British Roger Green from Droitwich, Worcestershire and Filipina Cecilia Sumargo from Cebu, Philipines. He started singing at the age of two as he entertained family and friends with his version of classic songs. He not only sings but can also dance, play the keyboards, guitar and the flute. When he was three, he joined a talent show on the cruise ship Ocean Majesty and has performed on other ships after that. Among his performances are at:

* the Royal Opera House in York
* the annual Black & White Minstrel Reunion
* the City of Worcester Brass at the Guildhall in Worcester
* the Phoenix Brass Band at the the St. Georges Day Concert at the Holy Trinity Church in Old Hill, West Midlands.
* the annual concert of The Not Forgotten Association for ex-servicemen at the St. James's Palace
* the Lady Ratling's annual variety show at the Kenneth More Theatre in Ilford, Essex.

And last month, he amazed the audiences and judges on the UK reality TV contest “Britain’s Got Talent”. Though he wasn’t make it to the finals, I believe he would be a great performer someday.
