Our very own 16-year old Charice Pempengco sang Because You Loved Me in a duet with one of her favorite international stars the diva Celine Dion in her concert last September 15 “Taking Chances World Tour” at the Madison Square Garden.  Charice admitted to her idol Celine Dion that she was nervous. Celine  told the audience in her introduction to Charice that this girl has a voice that can blow off the roof of Madison Square.

Here is the complete video of that Celine and Charice Because You Loved Me duet.

Here is what Celine said in her introduction to Charice before the little girl came up the stage:

“This young girl’s name is Charice. I’m so excited. She’s 16 years old and she’s from the Philippines. Let me tell you she has a voice that can literally blow the roof off Madison Square. But the real story is, Charice and her mom escaped a terrifying experience and had to leave Charice’s violent father. You know, to start a life on their own, Charice vowed to save her mom from life’s desperation. Through prayers and dreams and God-given talent, an incredible voice, Charice entered and won every singing contest in her native country and eventually got noticed. By such a fortunate chance people saw the show on Oprah and Oprah wanted to take her under her wing and David Foster joined them.

“I had a chance to see Charice perform one of my songs in Oprah last week. I have a little difficulty to talk right now because I met Charice and I’m so emotional and so I’m searching and looking for my words trying to control my emotion. I invited here to come her tonight to sing with me…”
