I was a lighting tech at this event. There were other performers that night but Charice was the only one that received standing ovation. Literally half of the crowd were stood up while she was singing. It was such an amazing sight how something that small sound so powerful
Simple, but very powerful and heartfelt performance! She did justice to this song. After hearing her sing this, I will never feel the same about this song sung by any other singers no matter how popular they are. Too much sophisticated curves and touches will just destroy the whole song. That's probably why the way she sung it hits you right inside because she didn't sing it to her style unlike how well known artist sing this song, they make it their own when it shouldn't be. More than anything, it should be sung from the heart so everybody else will feel the song the same way. It's America's song about their history and challenges they overcame.. this rendition makes you remember just that. You feel sadness, happy and proud at the end of the song. Perfect! Just the right emotions you should get. No other singer will ever beat this or give you the same feeling like Charice did.
this made me think america is great. her voice is so powerful that it will seem bestowing you so much greatness. so persuasive that if you place her amidst a war and sing enemies against enemies will end up hugging each other.
Charice possessed not only a golden voice but she definitely has CHARISMA which a lot of singers doesn't have. It is not enough that you wear long, expensive gowns and expensive jewelries on stage. But what attracts people to Charice is her pure innocence that a child exudes and yet her singing is first rate in the DIVA level. We saw her for the first time in Las Vegas and we were touched and find ourselves in tears after her performance. We LOVE her!!!
nickireginebey Heck no..nobody can beat Charice how she gives justice to all the songs she sang. She’s the best than anyone else. Read all the comments hereinafter.
I would like to repeat myself, Charice is adored and loved here in the USA, simply because she is a GREAT singer. If we, foreigners had developed instant adoration for her, maybe, the Filipinos should also give her the same accolade and support her all the way. No more, no less. She is such a humble little girl.
I remember gaano ako ka adik kay charice noon, college pa ako....ung lajat ng songs nya kahit live kinokonvert q to mp3 hahaha...everytime mag youtube puro charice nlng pinapanood ko...hindi nakakasawa hahahaha....
ViralDeath i doubt that there isn't any person who wouldn't feel the same way you felt while watching/listening to this performance. her voice just touches your heart...
Feb. 7, 2009 When me and my college friends watch this video of Charice, we not only feel patriotic but very proud of this young girl from faraway land and yet she feels at home here in America. She definitely belongs here.
She sang it very beautiful with a heart... Among others singer who sang this song i can say that she had the most beautiful rendition Ever no one can beat it..
At this stage of Charice's singing career, you guys need to support her unconditionally. A true die-hard fan is loyal and would give their support all the way. This girl was accepted here in USA by Americans. We truly love her and amazed by her talent. Filipinos should do the same.
WOW, she sounds like a young Whitney Houston!! Her voice is just unbelievable. To me, she is in the same league as Whitney, Celine, and Mariah. Her voice is THAT good!!
I’m still watching! Omg Charice kahit wala na yung nagiisang mong tinig na Golden Voice proud parin ako sayo 😢 sobrang na miss ko yung tunay mong tinig 😢😢😭
One thing about Charice that made her stand out is her understanding of the power of dynamics and the ability of storytelling through a song. A kot of Filipinos can sing and sound like Mariah Carey or celine dion but in the end, it's just singing. They can sound amazing but still be forgettable. Charice has the ability to draw people to her
I'm so glad, she gave this to the world. This is one of a kind performance. But I'm very, very happy for her that she found her true self. Her voice is still the same. So if anybody really wants to bless America, be happy and proud for her. Everyone deserves respect and love for what they are. Some of these comments below...it's heartbraking. So much hate. Why?
IT IS VERY FULFILLING FOR ME, AS A FILIPINO SEEING ANOTHER FILIPINO TOUCHING THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. I can never think in my entire life to see and hear again such beautiful rendition of a song that tells a story how America has been a home for everyone. Thank you Charice, thank you America!
Finally, a talented singer with awesome range, soul, a delight to listen to... this country need to seek out individuals like Charese. only time will tell but definitely she is on her way in becoming one of our legendary talents, eg aretha, celine, streisand etc. GOD BLESS AMERICA
I first found this in 2011, now it is 2019 and my impression for this performance remains the same. Always love her performance. Every time this song is played around I am like "I need to hear Charice sing this song again" LOL.
I'm Oh' Sam still talented but not the same level and he sounded different now. Thank god for youtube I can still listen to Charice once phenomenal voice.
I've been watching this a million times but still kept coming back here,nothing has changed, charice.💖 or Jake still she's my favorite and I love her ...👏👏👏👏💖💖💖
I am not American, but it moved me. The tension in her vocal chord, the power and texture of her voice, the dynamics of it all, touches deep within, like i wanna be patriotic right now.
yes so sad that she is not singing anymore in the international stage. but thats life she wanted to become a man. and change her name from charice to jake zyrus. but still she my idol in singing no more no less.
OCTOBER 9 2020, ANYONE ?? I MISS HER REALLY BAD ! She's Gone😭 . tuluyan ng sinira ng Testosterone Hormones yung boses niyang Minahal nateng Lahat😭. no matter what you do, you will never be able to bring back the old charice. just accept it. just think of the achievements She/he has made. now is his time for his own happiness. thanks for all the beautiful voice you gave us Charice, you are a legend. no matter what happens, you are the only singer I admire from then until now.❤
Great thing about this performance is that she performed it very simply. And because of that, the beauty of the song really came out. And I love the end where just for a moment she reverts to that sweet Filipina voice before going back to her soulful Whitney-esque voice.
i agree. charice dIdn't use her falsetto voice yet still she sang gba with unmatched power and emotion, complete control and soul, so much so it's hard not to feel that roller-coaster feeling but without the nausea...I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS SONG SANG WITH ITS MESSAGE SO PERFECTLY CLEAR. what a MAGICAL feeling it has been! CHARICE DOESN'T ONLY HAVE AMAZING HIGH NOTES BUT HAIR-RAISING LOW NOTES AS WELL. VERY RARE EVEN IN MUSIC INDUSTRY. LIKE THAT OF A DIAMOND, SIMPLY BEST...EVER!!! Goosebumps!
WOW!!!!! Charice's version of God Bless America should be the standard! That's what I call a soul-stirring performance! I'm not American, and even I had my right hand over my heart the entire time she sang. Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!
I'm sorry but I can't get enough of Charice!! I get emotional watching this every time... it's a privilege to hear such a beautiful voice sing this song perfectly live. No need to compare her to anyone else she is a gift.
Charice has a generous and magnanimous spirit. Her talent and her music bridges gaps accross nations. She's a self-appointed representative and brings honor to her homeland.
Wow, she is incredible. At first the audience are hesitating to clap becuase they don't know who she is, but at the end they are all clapping. More power to you Charice, your voice is really a God-given talent
how could ANYONE dislike this video?!?! its so amazing and moving i nearly cry my eyes out everytime!! shes so pure and sweet and her voice is like an angel's! shame on you for disliking this video!!
I will always love you Charice you are a gift to mankind.You are in my prayers.Your song is life to me.Full of love and compassion beauty tears of joy.Thank you for singing for us.I love you.
charice.... i can't get enough of you... if i were pregnant right now, my baby would probably look like you... my eyes are glued on you tube watching your amazing performances. go girl!!!
every note of that song was well sung by a 16 year old young singer...she will be huge....america will surely be in awe once she's formally introduced to the music world....
we are all separated by boundries drawn on a map, but there's one thing no one can change- this is one world and we are all connected to it! Charice it was honor to hear you sing, a beautiful powerful voice, may God continue to bless and guide you
My GOD, really.. I'm not American but this channeled my patriotism for the world! Hearing this makes me a better person. God bless our heroes and Charice, thank you. I prescribe that we listen to this occasionally to speed up WORLD PEACE, no kidding, nu-uhh.

How wonderful that you got to experience that
You are fortunate to hear her singing live. I love her voice .

Very well said Joan Hermosa. I really love the way she sang The American Anthem.
@@jedyumul0226 This song isn't the American anthem.
The American National anthem is The Star Spangled Banner.
She got this version from Regine Velasquez
2018 and I still can't get over how ridiculously good this is.
Seni. O i miss this charice
Seni.O ... yup I agreed with you!!!😋😋😊
Seni. O same here 2019!!
No more Charice. She's dead now.
2020 and still watching
this made me think america is great. her voice is so powerful that it will seem bestowing you so much greatness. so persuasive that if you place her amidst a war and sing enemies against enemies will end up hugging each other.

she is not an american but she sang it beautifully , full of soul and patriotic emotions

@@nickireginebey9361 only in the Philippines not international.
omg, that crowd didn't expect that, amazing

Damn her voice is higher than my grades... Best ever rendition of this song..
Check out Regine Velasquez’s version of this, it’s where charice got it from
nickireginebey Heck no..nobody can beat Charice how she gives justice to all the songs she sang. She’s the best than anyone else. Read all the comments hereinafter.

The Best Rendition of God Bless America ever!!! I had goose-bumps from beginning to end. Magnificent!!!
Mel Tan agree... btw.. she’s singing Celine’s rendition of the song... go watch Celine dion singing it in the superbowl 2003
Mel Tan ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
Charice is gone and up to now, no one could equal this. 😭
I miss her.
Agree with that
No. One. Could. 😭
Agree.
Agreeeeee
so sad charice is gone to become jake zyrus. but still i will always support charice whatever path she chooses
I would like to repeat myself, Charice is adored and loved here in the USA, simply because she is a GREAT singer.
If we, foreigners had developed instant adoration for her,
maybe, the Filipinos should also give her the same accolade and support her all the way. No more, no less.
She is such a humble little girl.
One more and I'm done watching Charice's videos. So addicting
me too lol
i almost got a heart attack when she hit the high note.
👍
P
You’ll surely get back for more. 😉
49 year old guy and not American, but now wiping the tears from my cheeks!
I remember gaano ako ka adik kay charice noon, college pa ako....ung lajat ng songs nya kahit live kinokonvert q to mp3 hahaha...everytime mag youtube puro charice nlng pinapanood ko...hindi nakakasawa hahahaha....
😂😂😂
Wondering if Americans felt really emotional on this rendition. I'm not American but I felt the song.
ViralDeath i doubt that there isn't any person who wouldn't feel the same way you felt while watching/listening to this performance. her voice just touches your heart...
I'm still again and again. With or without quarantine! Lab uuu charice..
Feb. 7, 2009
When me and my college friends watch this video of Charice, we not only feel patriotic but very proud of this young girl from faraway land and yet she feels at home here in America. She definitely belongs here.
Perfect Voice! I'm back again here
I'm still watching this, who's with me?
She sang it very beautiful with a heart...
Among others singer who sang this song i can say that she had the most beautiful rendition Ever no one can beat it..
thats true
Song wasn't even over yet and she gets a standing ovation already. Dayum guirl
this video made me always think that if ever a country would hold the world, america is the rightful country I could rely on.
At this stage of Charice's singing career, you guys need to support her unconditionally. A true die-hard fan is loyal and would give their support all the way. This girl was
accepted here in USA by Americans. We truly love her

The best rendition of this song eeeever....
Even after almost 10 years, it still gives me the awe. 🌺💐🌻💕🌼🌹🍀🇵🇭💓
whenever she sings, it end up making people in awe and applauding for her performance..she sings with heart and soul.... :)
WOW, she sounds like a young Whitney Houston!! Her voice is just unbelievable. To me, she is in the same league as Whitney, Celine, and Mariah. Her voice is THAT good!!
Hey
i am not an American but when I watched this Charice's performance of God Bless America I felt so touched and so with the American in the venue
God Bless youtube for letting us hear the best versions of Charice’s voice again and again
I love the part when some of the audience were already giving her a standing ovation... and it was not even the end of the song yet! Just amazing!
Damn!!! It has been 10 years. I'm crying every time I watch this performance...
She makes me proud to be American. It doesn't matter where she was born, only an American in heart could sing that song like she did. Incredible.
I’m still watching! Omg Charice kahit wala na yung nagiisang mong tinig na Golden Voice proud parin ako sayo 😢 sobrang na miss ko yung tunay mong tinig 😢😢😭
Say pdin Ang pride ng asia til now. Wala padin pumapalit sa mark nya sa history ng music

2019.... best version I've heard aside Ms. Celine Dion
I used to watch Charice in youtube during my spare time. Now i spend most of my time watching her videos, even at work. Hope my boss wont caught me.
i agree. anytime you take a photo of Charice, or freeze-frame her videos, she looks charming, to me that's really beautiful
The song hasn't finished yet but people can't help but to stand and give their recognition to an amazing singer like Charice
Her talent is what you can appreciate forever....☺
I m present in November 2021!!! Who's here with me this year watching the incredible Charice?

Can I ask? Why would they delete charice videos?
@@katedayanan4841 for many reasons, copyright claims could be one of them. She had videos with RAI UNO she was still famous but those videos owned by this station were deleted or kept private.
