Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco (born May 10, 1992), better known as Charice, is a Filipina singer who rose to popularity through You Tube. Dubbed by Oprah Winfrey as the Most Talented Girl in the World, she is the first solo Asian artist in history to land in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 album chart. Crossing over to acting, she has appeared on the TV series Glee where she plays a recurring character named Sunshine Corazon.
She was born in Laguna, Philippines. Being raised by a single mother is hard on a family so she helped support the family by doing singing contests at age seven. Rumor has it that she is said to have joined almost a hundred singing contests!!!!
In 2005, Charice joined Little Big Star, a talent show in the Philippines loosely patterned after American Idol. Eliminated after her first performance, she was later called back as a wild-card contender and eventually became a finalist. Although she was a consistent top scorer in the final rounds, she only finished in third place based on text voting.
Afterwards she made minor appearances on local television shows and commercials, but essentially had fallen off the radar after her stint at Little Big Star. It was not until 2007 that she gained worldwide fame after an addicted supporter started posting her performance videos on You Tube under the user-name False Voice. These videos received millions of hits making Pempengco an internet phenomenon.
