Taking a break from Charice to bring Super Junior M's new music video "到了明天 (Blue Tomorrow)".
I cannot help it but every time when I listen to this song now, I am reminded of Mi's cracked voice and Kyu laughing his head off... Damn you, Kyu!
Geng ah! No need to cry. I will buy you more sparklers next time and we can set things on fire together - preferably with seasoned chicken and beef over hot charcoal 8D
Siwon looks like an uncle.
Siwon looks like an uncle!
SIWON LOOKS LIKE AN UNCLE!
I am still laughing over that.

Nope. Still laughing.
They always seem to be stuck in suits/half-suits with bow ties/ties and exceptionally unflattering pants that even my dad would not be caught dead in. As Ris Low would say, "Those pants are SHINGZ."
In 2008, Charice was invited to The Paul O'Grady's Show in London.
After which, OPRAH happened. Her 1st appearance there, she sang "I Have Nothing".
Her 2nd appearance, she sang the classic "My Heart Will Go On" (cue all the titanic fans) with accompaniment by the renowned music producer David Foster on piano. But that is not all that Oprah has in store for her. Her dream of singing with Celine Dion was fulfilled as they crooned "Because You Loved Me" together for her mother at Madison Square Garden.Earlier this year, Charice released her 1st US single "Note To God" produced by David Foster and written by legendary Diane Warren.
She was also personally invited to Italy by Andrea Bocelli for a duet of "The Prayer".
In the next part, we will have more Italy, Michael Jackson's tribute and back to the country she calls home.
There is going to be a MAJOR Charice Pempengco-pimpage coming because rewatching that clip of her singing with Kyuhyun led to more watching and that girl truly has an amazing voice and great stage presence of a future diva (at times, it overshadows the people around her).
Charice Pempengco (17) of The Philippines was introduced to the rest of the world through the wonders of YouTube when videos of her younger self singing were uploaded by an avid supporter, FalseVoice. Due to his efforts, she was then scouted for an album recording in Sweden, appeared in South Korea's famous talent show "Star King" and it BOOMZ from there.
Ironically, a clip of her 9-year old self was aired on one of the Japanese variety show.
Her 1st appearance on Star King in 2007 singing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" and the unforgettable "A Whole New World" duet with Super Junior's Kyuhyun (who at the time was still recovering from a major car accident).
Her 2nd appearance on Star King at the end of the same year being one of the "Most Requested Foreign Act". She sang "I Will Survive" and a duet of "I Will Always Love You" with Lena Park.
In between those two, she was invited by Ellen DeGeneres to appear on her show.
Coming up next, Paul O'Grady, Oprah Winfrey and dream collaborations with some of the most talented singers and music producers in the world.
