[Insomada]

Hey guys,

I want you to turn your speakers on, click the link below and be entertained by the 15 year old Charice Pempenco of Laguna.

Charice was apparently sent to the US under the auspices of Ellen Degeneres and guested her in the latter's show in New York. She is now beginning to make big airwaves in the music industry especially she would soon be signing contracts to launch her singing career. This subject I guess is the biggest buzz of Pinoy's You Tube video clips right now.

To hear more about her search the name Charice Pempenco in http://www.youtube.com

been watching this video since ABS-CBN showed charice's guesting at the Ellen de Generis show.

for more info, here's the wikepedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charice_Pempengco

it's poetic justice for Charice who only placed a miserable third in ABS-CBN's Search for Little Big Star. And here's hoping she won't go the way of Roberto Banig, who, after making Britney Spears---long before she became pasaway--- eat dust in some singing contest, had gone into oblivion.

by the way, have you watched the youtube videos of this fil-am, CHRISTINE GAMBITO, who was appointed "ambassadress" by DOT Secretary Durano on the sole basis of her videos? Nice.

for sheer Pinoyness, i like this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8tSWg7xZqN8

insoms,

wahahahahaha.....ya ramble ko (last two?), it's banig roberto. sowie.

banig was a young singing sensation in the 80s. i heard nothing of her since her 15 minutes of fame in the US. not until you asked me now that i googled her. and i was surprised to know she's doing well in the states, that is, if the entry is to be believed.

here's an tickler:

"Banig Roberto has the voice of Whitney Houston and Patti LaBelle conmmbined
There are singers who can hit high notes and croon to the right melodies. And then there are singers who can perform with utmost passion, those who sweep listeners’ emotions and send them to tears at the end of each song.

From a child singing
sensation in Manila
Josephine “Banig”
Roberto is now a 22
-year-old world-class
performer

One such talent is Josephine “Banig” Roberto, who rose to local fame from a 7-year-old amateur in Ang Bagong Kampeon to one of the top singing talents in the United States. But for many years, little news about Banig has been heard in her homeland.

Whatever happened to this gem of a talent?

Apparently, Banig—all grown up at 22—is still making waves in the United States"!
