EDIT: Charice WON'T be on 'Glee', Manager was just 'Confused'

UPDATE 5/26/10: Thank you to sneaker_scandal for bringing this to my attention. According to Charice herself (via her official Twitter account):

"@gingerconejero no. i'm not going to be on glee. how i wish.. maybe my handler is confused. hehe" [SOURCE]

"from mommy > FYI- The rumors that Charice appears on GLEE show is not true, i talked to MS Grace Mendoza Charice handler, she had no idea" [SOURCE]

*Everybody makes mistakes, but dang can't believe that the Inquirer got something wrong. My mom buys their paper everyday.

Anyway, the link for the article below doesn't work anymore, well it does but the article is now entitled 'Nitro PDF Reader out to blow away Adobe'

- -

I think many of you will find this interesting, I know I did.

Inquirer.net (A trusted Philippine-based news site, affiliated with GMA channel 7) broke the news that Charice Pempengco will be "part of the [Glee] cast in a new season." Her manager here in the PH, Grace Mendoza confirmed this.

Here's a copy of the article:

Charice to join American TV series `Glee’
By Pocholo Concepcion
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 22:47:00 05/25/2010

MANILA, Philippines--The Philippines' pride, international pop star CharicePempengco, will soon join the cast of the award-winning American musical comedy-drama TV series "Glee."

In a TV interview at her Glorietta show on May 23, Pempengco herself hinted at "a surprise" that will surely make her fans happy. "Basta in na in posiyangayon," she said.

The quote set off the Internet abuzz with rumors, which zeroed in on the possibility of Pempengco appearing on "Glee" because the show's theme and the cast's age group fits her.

"Yes, it's true, Charice will soon join "Glee," her Philippine manager, Grace Mendoza, confirmed to the Inquirer. "And not just as a guest, but as part of the cast in a new season."

The popular TV show won the 2010 Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series Musical or Comedy.

Pempengco's joining the "Glee" cast comes on the heels of her most recent triumph as the first Asian to break into the Top 10 of the Billboard album chart. Her self-titled US CD has debuted at No. 8 in its first week of release, selling 43,000 copies in America alone.

The album is at No. 4 in the Canadian music chart.

Jeez, something about this girl's voice makes me cry. Er, in a good way.

Never heard of her. I thought they were casting unknowns for the new characters, hence the whole online auditioning thing... :\

her manager said "in a new season".. she didn't specify if it's season 2 or season 3... :)

OMG, for real?! She's amazing! And adorable too. This makes me happy. ^__^

That's great and all, but Glee already has enough trouble juggling the storylines of all the characters. Did they really need to add a new regular cast member?

[info]blackmaryjanes

There are three new regular cast members for season two, and Heather Morris and Naya Rivera will both be made regulars next season. A show set in a high school like this is will constantly need new cast members.

I'm a little wary about this as well. Not only do they have the main characters but they're completely shunning Mike & Matt... and on top of that they'll be adding 3 more main characters next season? I feel bad for the guys that play Mike & Matt. I'd like to see more of them before they keep adding more cast members. At least Heather & Naya got a little more to do and they'll be regulars next season.
Idk... all this adding of characters is starting to worry me. The show already takes enough criticism from what I've seen for trying to balance so many story lines at the same time.

I agree. I've been waiting all season to see more of Mike, Matt, Britt, Santana, Tina, and Mercedes. Instead, they're packing every episode full of guest stars and planning a bunch of tribute episodes. (I mean, Madonna absolutely deserves one, and I know Gaga ties in with the theatricality lesson - but Britney? Come on, now.)

I just feel like Glee has enough to work with as it is, and they're overlooking some of it to add newer, flashier stuff.

As much as it pains me to admit it I have to agree. Shame because I really like the show... so far I think they've handled it alright but if they keep adding more and more the show is going to become a joke and I don't want it to go that route.

I know I'm being a bit hypocritical because I want Jesse to stay next season (Jon Groff is insanely talented!) and I would like to see more of NHP & Idina next season along with Harry Shum Jr., but I think they need to know when to stop. Just because the show is popular doesn't mean they have to please everyone. I loved the Madonna ep and I'm looking forward to the Gaga one but that doesn't mean I think they should do one for every pop star out there. As long as it ties with the story line then I'm ok with it. I guess I'm just worried that they're looking to fit the story lines with the gimmicky themed episodes at this point and not the other way around. If anything they should be used sporadically to enhance the story lines, not become over saturated with them.

And btw this isn't a rant against Charice, I've never heard of her but I'm sure she's very talented. I'm just worried as a fan of the show because I've become a little disillusioned with it as of late.

Oh and the overproduced songs are really getting to me too... I want more ala "Poker Face" please! These people have great voices! No need to work them up so much!

*ahem*

Can she act though? I mean, there's no doubt that she can sing. But Cory came on knowing he could act, and with like... shower singing as his claim to singing talent.

I'm curious to see what she can do.

[info]blackmaryjanes

May 25 2010, 18:58:09 UTC 2 years ago

How old is she? Just curious, I've never heard of her and she clearly has a voice more mature than her years.

she turned 18 last may 10...

Aaaaand this is the video that became viral on YouTube and landed her on Ellen, Oprah, etc.

Oops hit "submit" too early. This clip was in a Korean talent show called Star King. She was 15 at the time.

After this she went on Ellen, Oprah, sang with Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion, shared the stage with Josh Groban, Michael Buble, etc. She's AWESOME

So I had never heard of her before, but I clicked on the first link that orange048 posted which was "Listen" and my jaw just dropped. She is amazing! It'll be interesting to see how she fits into the show dynamic but power to her!

I was watching Oprah with my mom when we saw her, and she was really amazing. That was a couple years ago or so.

Honestly just because she'll be a part of the cast, doesn't mean that everyone else will get shoved aside, nor will it mean that she'll get big subplots. I think we should be happy for her, since she's talented and it's a big opportunity, not bitch and moan about what we haven't seen yet.

Besides, I'm pretty sure Harry will be getting screentime in season 2, according to what he said in an interview.

I'm not a big fan of Charice... but at some point, I'm looking forward to this.
