Philippine star set to thrill Doha audience

Charice Pempengco is set to stage what could be one of the largest music events in Qatar

Filipino singer and star of the hit television series, ‘Glee,’ Charice Pempengco is set to stage a concert in Qatar next month, with around 15,000 fans expected to see the young star perform a two-hour show.
The concert will take place on September 29 at 8pm, and is expected to be one of the largest events to be held here appealing to the large local Filipino community as well as music fans from around the world.
The event is being organised by Golden Relations and will be held on the warmup track around Khalifa Stadium with tickets priced at QR150 and QR350.
Charice has recorded songs such as ‘Pyramid’ with singer Iyaz and ‘Before it Explodes,’ which was written by Bruno Mars.
She came to prominence after being invited to perform on US comedienne Ellen DeGeneres’ show, before making an appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s show where the hostess described her as “the most talented girl in the world.”
CEO of Golden Relations, Bilal Taha said: “Since announcing the event early last month we have been flooded with enquiries via Facebook and on Twitter for more information regarding the show.”
“It took us time to announce the venue as we wanted a bigger place that could accommodate at least 15,000 people,” he noted, adding “we are expecting a big turnout for the event since Charice’s followers are not only Filipinos but other nationalities as well.”
Charice, who plays Sunshine Corazon in the second series of ‘Glee’ has also sung alongside Celine Dion, David Foster and David Archuleta.
Tickets are available at all Regency Travel & Tours outlets, as well as online atwww.tasaker.com.
The event is being sponsored by Regency Travel & Tours and Ramada Plaza Doha Hotel.

Colt45. I didn't mean to be funny. Since your profile says you're an Indian, I thought you know the famous song Land of Lungi which was posted here in QL recently. Here's the link www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo4m-RzO6KI

I know who she is and I've watched her perform, did you not read that already?And really what's with the, "Land of Lungi", I don't know if that was meant to be funny or what? :-(

Colt45. She can sing Land Of Lungi if you request earlier. No doubt about that. She can sing Latin, Korean, Japanese etc. It's not only singing. Dancing as well. She's a total small package but BIG in international performance.

MBK,I believed most of her song is english, as she is an international artist.She might perform or sing at least one tagalog as she carry a Filipino blood.

By Milky_BarKid• 23 Aug 2011 10:30

So are all her songs gonna be in English or some in tagalog?

By archidv• 23 Aug 2011 10:27

yes. she is a Filipino singer who make it big in USA because of youtube. her first video in youtube was seen by Ellen and she guested in the show. then Oprah and a guest in Celine Dion concert. then the rest is a history. she also make an appearance in glee in 2 episodes as Sunshine Corazon. I'm not a fan though..hahaha

I saw her performance in the David Foster show (although I loved the Josh Groban & Brian McKnight version of "Bridge over troubled waters" more) and at a ball game in the US. Yeah this girl can sing and does a good job at that too :-)
