Once in a while the wife will be watching Oprah, and to tell you the truth, I usually don’t mind, because Oprah Winfrey is an amazing human being and very entertaining.
We also watch American Idol together, for the first time this season, and enjoy it.
However, Oprah had this 15-year-old Filipina Girl, Charice Pempengco, fly in 15 hours to come sing on her special show about talented kids (including a 3-year-old drummer).
If you didn’t catch it, you should check it out, because it is better than most of the performances on Americal Idol, and way more jaw-dropping. Here she is singing Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing“:
As a bonus, here is her Korean Star King performance:

This is no Korean girl . She is a Filipina from the Philippines. You better check your hearing aid . Charice Pempengco is no Korean name. You are so…s..

Oops sorry my mistake - I have corrected.
On the Oprah show they showed her singing on a Korean talent show, so I mistakenly thought she was Korean.
In the US we have a mixed ethnicity so it is not unusual to have last names not match either ethnicity or nationality.

Thanks for featuring this girl here. I actually watched this particular Oprah show too. And when this girl sung I just got goosebumps and tears. She is truly amazing….Thanks again!

I’ve never had any interest in watching to just regular singers but this girl changed that. She really blown me away. She really is an amazing kid.
