I had absolutely no idea who Charice Pempengco was until this past Saturday, when my 17 year old cousin told me I just had to come watch some YouTube videos of "this girl who can sing". Well, little Charice blew me away. That girl has some serious talent.
As it turns out, Glee has snatched her right up for some guest appearances for season 2 of Fox's newest hit show. A few weeks ago the internet was abuzz with the rumor that Charice would be appearing in the next season of Glee, but she quickly dispelled those rumors via her Twitter. Now, though, Ausiello reveals that the rumors are true:
When that rumor began to spread earlier this month via her loose-lipped manager, Charice herself shot it down via Twitter. “I just want to let you all know, that it’s not true that I’m going to be on Glee,” she said.
Well, it’s true now! Sources confirm to me exclusively that the international pop star is signed, sealed, and delivered to recur next season as a foreign exchange student whose killer vocals get Rachel (Lea Michele) contemplating murder.
Considering Charice's talent, I think this is great news. I don't know how well she can act, but I do know she can sing, so we'll have to see how she does as a guest star on the show next season. The caliber of guest stars that this show books is pretty amazing, isn't it? I'm kind of hoping that Jonathan Groff returns in season 2 as well, as he was one of my favorite guest stars last season.
For your enjoyment, I've embedded two videos of Charice singing below in case, like me, you have no idea who she is. Skip to about 1.45 minutes in the first video to hear her start singing.
charice should not wait for the announcement of news or the gleeks.. ahahahah
