MANILA, Philippines - International singer Charice has been dubbed a "newly
crowned pop princess" by the New York Post.
Charice's song "Pyramid" was cited in New York Post's PopWrap's fave five
article for March 17.
It identified Charice as a "new little chick...who's mountain-and-valley
vocals (that means range, kids) are the only reason you will need to fall in
love with her sound."
The article also featured four other songs including Psapp's "Mister Ant,"
Lady GaGa's "Telephone: an Electrolightz remix," Gin Wigmore's "Don't Stop" and
Matisse's "Better Than Her." It added that this week's fave five "will have your
bottom uncontrollably shimmying out of your kilt."
In an e-mail sent to abs-cbnNEWS.com, Charice said that she's happy that her
talent is being recognized not only by her fellow Filipinos but by a lot of
Americans as well.
"I really can't believe po na kasama ko sa iisang topic si Lady Gaga. Super
Fan po niya ako. To be crowned as the New Pop Princess it's really a honor for
me. Nanginig ako nung nabasa ko. Feeling ko, ang laking responsibilidad kasi po
dating Pop Princess si Britney Spears po. Nagpapasalamat po ako hindi lang po sa
mga Pinoy na sumusuporta sa akin kundi lahat po ng supporters sa iba't ibang
bansa. Mapa-Amerikano man po o kahit ano po, salamat po sa lahat," Charice
said.
Charice said she is happy that her single "Pyramid" has been downloaded over
a million times despite tough competition from other pop artists.
"Super happy po ako. New York Post is really BIG. And really happy na ako
yung napili nila na i-crown as New Pop Princess, although there's a lot of teen
artists po talaga dito sa Amerika na magaling po talagang pop singers. I wanna
thank them po sa pagpili nila sa akin. And thanks po sa lahat ng nagview ng
Pyramid ko, it's finally over 1M views! I can't wait po na makita nila yung
official music video. Though wala pa pong exact date. But I'm sure ilalabas na
po ito soon. Nakita ko na po kanina and it's really inspirational. I hope
magustuhan po nila."
