MANHATTAN, New York - Filipino fans patiently waited to watch Glee’s Season 2 debut at Café 81, a Filipino Restaurant in Lower Manhattan Tuesday night.
Fans said it was Sunshine Corazon’s audition scene for the Glee club that is sure to make Charice a certified Hollywood star. She sang Beyonce’s “Listen."
“I know a few of her songs, I wasn’t really a big fan until I saw her tonight and I think she’s pretty amazing, she’s very good actually,” said Pinoy New Yorker Sergio Conrad.
Right after Charice’s most awaited performance on Glee, Kababayans cheered and clapped for the little Filipina with a big voice.
“I’m so happy that she made it to the Glee, and I hope more Filipino talents in the Tri-State area and all over the nation can be in the mainstream,” said Elvie Abordo, who came all the way from Rockland County, New York.
PJ Pascual, a New York fashion stylist and former assistant accessories editor for Oprah’s “O Magazine”, also gushed about Charice's performance.
“She needs a Filipino stylist like me, with all modesty, to guide her with all of these personal appearances and TV talk shows, but I believe that the way they casted her is a perfect role because you can’t make Charice Pempengco a glam girl in school because that’s not her personality,” said Pascual.
Kababayans who were first-time Glee watchers instantly became Gleeks. They say Glee is now their favorite TV show to watch every Tuesday night.
Anna Trinidad, another New Yorker, said: “Definitely I want to watch it every week to see how it progresses and her character if she gets offered other shows or even Broadway shows.”
Within a few minutes after Glee was aired, “Glee” and “Charice” became a trending topic on Twitter.
Charice tweeted on her official Twitter page and thanked her fans and all those who supported her along the way including her kapamilya at ABS-CBN.
Charice wrote, “Thank you Lord! and Thanks to all the people who watched Glee. Thanks to Ryan Murphy & Brad for the trust. Thank you to all the cast. Thank you to all my kababayan! Mahal ko po kayong lahat! Chasters!!! Thanks you so much for everything.”
Charice also tweeted, “ @ABSCBNNews thank you mga kapamilya for all the support!”
Fans in the Tri-State area believe that Charice’s national TV debut on Glee is only the beginning of bigger things to come for this little Pinay with a big voice, who is now a certified mainstream star.
