    Good for Charice for realizing and appreciating the brevity of the event and how important this event is for Americans.

    I think it is safe to say that Oprah will have Charice tomorrow. Even if she just has a cameo while singing that new song that David Foster wrote.

    how ironic. Though Charice is really a good singer, she should’ve sung some other song other than God bless America – she’s not an american. She could’ve sung the Prayer or One moment in time, that would be appropriate

    STOP GIVING INACCURATE REPORT.

    Charice Pempengco was invited to perform at the Realizing the Dream Fourth Annual King Day Commemoration & 2nd Annual Realizing the Dream Award Celebration. The event date was Jan. 18, at Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill and was hosted by Martin Luther King III.

    It was not a pre-inaugural celebration of President Barak Obama, it was not even televised, and it was a private reception. And President B. Obama was unable to attend the reception.

    Mayumi don’t you realize Martin Luther King is bigger than Obama? He got assasinated because of his convictions…and even Pres Obama understood fully that because of MLK why he got to office…..MLK help people change their minds about racism….Don;t be so shallow and superficial have some depth and sense of pride……..Be proud of Charice My dear… other you will eat your heart out for shame…..

    Mayumi stop being a crab. Are you envious of her? We think so. Don’t you love yourself? Coz you don’t love your fellowmen. Speak of praises rather than foul criticisms. Research my dear.
