Charice Pempengco (Jake Zyrus) Singing - "And I am telling you, I'm not going" - London, 2008

Charice Pempengco in the Drawing Room of Covent Garden Hotel as she prepares for her appearance on the Paul O'Grady Show, belting out a full almost acapella version of "And I am telling you, I'm not going". Raw and fabulous!

She's Beyond the 5th demension. A voice that never exist before.

[@08cake]

incredible!!!!

[@GilbertGTV]

She SANG my face off!

[@inpinitopater]

Charice,you have an extra ordinary high pitch of voice. Your voice was gifted to you by the most high God that no one can steal it from you. My advice to you is always be humble and you will be more successful. I believe that you are a good daughter. May God bless you and your career.

[@STI40caliber]

No effects! amazing voice! love you CHARICE!!!

[@amaejoytimuat8965]

Still watching in 2020. Missing the old Charice 😔

[@mcrobsessed247]

that was P E R F E C T

[@Goros_Go]

JUST PERFECT

[@hydy7]

Wow!!! She is so amazing!!!!! I love her singing! I am very impressed.

[@HDsharp]

Bravo this is the genre you excel at Charice. We know you like experimenting but truthfully, when you sing like this in this style (clean and crisp and simple) without too much riffs (like in RNB) weather you are singing ballads, pop, or RnB you are on top of the world girl! its what the world is crying out for.

[@vampeee]

I like how she looked at her mom at the "your the best mom i've ever known"

[@jaystacy14]

her mom was so relax listening to her daughter...what a blessed mom to have a daughter like charice....love you both

[@yannevi5799]

Love this..no mic!love u charice.

[@nightworg]

This is world class...And this is just a training session. You owns Charice! Worg

[@McTomaso]

This is not normal....I knew she is good....she is better the the rest, I wish her a happy life and to be the megadiva of all times......... Been in the business 4 a while....Cha is one in a century !

[@joynjm]

UNSTOPPABLE CHARICE!

[@yotyondin]

pure raw power and talent. The best!

[@NuvolariF1]

She is brilliant. Charice has a pure voice that no one can match at this time. The last singer that I though had a pure voice was Christina Aguilera but I don['t think Christina can match the voice control and command like Charice. I have seen so much of her videos that every single one of them gives me chills running down my spine. My favorite would be the one when she was invited to that Korean talent show. I just hope that they write good songs for her.

[@rlf4403tube]

she is getting better and better!

[@agemorJD]

yan ang tunay na singer, walang backgrounds, walang sound effects, ang lakas pa rin ng boses, yan ang dahilan na na impress sa kanya ang international song composer, TV show Hosts at audience sa abroad, at pinakahuli na lang na impress ang Pilipinas( shame), I really hope a grammy award for her and later oscar for her hollywood film+s.......

[@cha0592]

wow wow wow just amazing

[@repapips2004]

No mic lol.. WOW... Magnitude of her voice even without MIC WOW.. soo impressive..

[@JasperKenneth06]

as the english say, "Bloody Amazing!"

[@isl7319]

i love her! but seriously, i hope that she's not straining her voice or anything, i really don't want her to lose it. not NOW, when she's come so far. I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH HER ON OPRAH!

[@PinayAko2]

wow.,,.,yan ang tinatawag mong tunay na singer kahit walang sound effect lakas parin ang boses nya.,.,, galing talaga ni charice.,.,., sana lng hindi sya yumabang tulad ng ibang singers.,.,, god bless charice.,.,,

[@205Demi]

I always want to comment your video's... but I know that nothing that I can say tells really how great you are... But I really have to give my opinion....: THIS IS FANTASTIC.... SHE IS TOTALLY GREAT! And how she sings this song in this video is like most.... SO POWERFULL Your number 1 fan! xx

[@oldschoolelf]

Charice has more talent than all those other acts that are out there now. Because of Ellen and Oprah, I think she's gonna hit it big like a meteor hitting the earth. Brace for impact.

[@thiefgarr]

So creative with her voice, that's why you feel the emotion in the song, and not always high w/c can be irritating to the ears. I guess this is what Mrs. Pempengco taught Charice during her competing days. No wonder Cha is really an international act. I said before in other posts, Charice has a very unique texture in her voice that other artist don't have. It's not all about singing very high w/c is not too pleasing to hear.

[@Hartchell]

god u have an amazing voice! aim high charice as high as your voice.. im so proud of you xxx

[@queenoposisi4905]

Amazing

[@akoanani]

ang ganda ng vibration ko pag nakarinig ako ng kanta ni Charice

[@USCBeastmode]

I have started to see comments here in America that Charice is not the real dill JA! this video right here needs to be sent out over my-space, twitter, and facebook so people can see this phenomenal talent is not just another wannabe dub pop star, she is a bonafide Super star and no one from the age of 3 to 40 can come close to her. Charice your star is rising to the top and you will stay there forever!

[@MaribelMartin-jg5gs]

2024 still watching this video,our Charice our superstar ♥️

[@yayajean1702]

Still watching in 2017

[@AngelChungMusic]

so mature voice!!! I love yu Charice!

[@Lophotrochozoans]

That is really inspiring. thank you for sharing this bit of info, i truly appreciate it. She is indeed amazing

[@dominicbalabat]

you can really tell that this girl is singing passionately... skip ahead to 3:06 and you'll see when she sang "AND YOU, YOU, YOU" while clapping her hands and got overwhelmed with emotions...

[@Lophotrochozoans]

thanks! i appreciate it.

[@shihtzulover24]

that was amazing! even though she was just practicing, it was too perfect! way to go charice!

[@bisdakdiay]

Way to go charice! Though this is just a practice, but always practice it at real A-1 performance level. Great Job!

[@ISSALAK]

7 dislikes. wow! How can this video get any dislike:?

[@robertflorentine4622]

ISSALAK i

[@evelynmartinez4132]

Those dislikes are people that jealous people because their idol cant sing like her😂

[@jenchen81]

practice makes perfect XD

[@ChummyChime]

also, she is still young, she can learn new languages easily.

[@enjl06]

look at mom sittin' and relaxin'. watching her kid doing all the hard work.

[@amethyst1325164]

What a rare voice.

[@haruhichan]

"almost" acapella and she still sounds amazing! can i know who else was in the room when charice was rehearsing? thanks for sharing!

[@akoanani]

because she dedicated this to her mom not to a man.

[@robertflorentine4622]

alex ca ii

[@tigonridge]

The point is, if you think it's just "yelling," then you can lower the volume. No one is forcing you to listen if you don't like her style. That's right, it's called: Style. It makes no sense to listen to something you find "annoying." It makes even less sense to complain about it to others. Right now she's uplifting millions with her performances...how many are you inspiring with your negative comments?

[@MaribelMartin-jg5gs]

Acapella but still perfect ♥️

[@andaboy07]

WOW. watch it she is gonna be the greatest ever! =) proud to be pinoy!

[@stephenwmusic_]

charice!!!! very nice ^^

[@kimcantos2424]

grabehhh hahaha naspeechless nanaman ako eii hahaha

[@taneaux]

Charice is half human, half angel. Her voice so powerful that could control objects especially human beings. Extraterrestrial Aliens get rid of her or else, they will be extinct.

[@nicecrampcream15]

hMm.. what a nice voice.. im proud of you charice..more power

[@jason22az]

[@TPITVNews]

[@irisjonnah]

[@tigonridge]

I don't know about your speaker/headphone, brighton, but mine has this knobby thing that allows me to adjust the volume. Cool, huh? ;)

[@jlou88]

"..ha ha!!.." (x2)

[@munztaowl]

GRABE

[@TheButchTan]

pag 22 nya ligawan ko to hehe

[@erareynolds]

@taneaux I know, I've known her back then. She lives like 20 min. away from our house. :)

[@fdsajg]

hehe i miss her :-/

[@nightworg]

She's cute as hell here. She looks a lot better when she dress her own age, and not trying hard to look older with lot's of silly makeup and old cloth.

[@ISSAY68]

i don't thing i'm gonna love you...really. she is hyped to the max, don't care if it is the battle of vocal chords i still prefer charlotte church.... good for charice she earned a living for the family. i hope her international debut album will be successful....coz i am not buying with all this global economic turmoil going on....hihihi

[@stariray23]

por supuesto...es natural para ella- y por de las filipinas a cantar! hay muchos karaoke! jajaja!

[@jlou88]

...R&B and soul suits her best anyway.. =D

[@fdsajg]

leche! cnsbe ko lng ung 22o!

[@Lophotrochozoans]

sorry siyanse if you were offended by my mere inquiry but i do hope you understand where im coming from: i have never heard this girl sing before and did not know what the story was behind her changing the word/s of the lyrics. a first time listener to a foreign singer could never tell if it was a mispronunciation or something else. as i said earlier i am amazed by her talent, and so i dont understand your need to be condescending. Charmica18, tubeyou2007, thank you.

[@gesileheart]

charice sa Mandarin oriental kingbridges ba yang hotel mo parang nakapunta na ko dyan lol

[@ISSAY68]

for sure, luck is on her side.

[@SaTrinomaNagkita]

@jeanettegorgeous Are you nuts? Take a seat and have a chill pill. Then watch THE Jennifer Holliday watch?v=kC_u_q-iND0 original (skip 3:29 up to 5:40 and then continue to 6:10 till the end of the video). And what permission are you talking about? Anybody can cover any song. It is being done and has been done since time immemorial by the great divas like WH, CD, and MC. The question is, can you make it better. Charice definitely made this better plus some. And this is only practice!

[@j134679]

@jeanettegorgeous why does she need to ask for permission? lol she was just about perform at a show using that rendition.

[@ElAngelo01]

que paso con ianca ryan?

[@Fernan1048]

brightontaipei why dont you upload the best singers in your country to make you feel better you always have a rigth to speak yes.... but we have also the rigth so dont be angry you croseye people

[@Rawand080880]

5*****star

[@Louvielice]

how shame two filipino talk like this where everybody can read... and here in a lovely voice of charice... we should appreciate it. few people can do this... ohhh.. so dissapointed..

[@jlou88]

are they in a big hotel?? shoot.. what do the neighbors think??.. ehh.. (live, hidden concert??) mwahahahha.. i'll never get tired of her singing this strong.. i just hope she finds (a bit) more originality in herself along the way.. (NOT that i'm saying most of her singing are imitation).. and i hope she doesn't end up being pop (in general). Some of it is all right, but preferably, diva all the way..

[@juanmarkos]

Basag ang Mic! galing!

[@TiamatSBx]

Look Mom nooo Mic >:D
