Oprah says there's nothing more fun than helping to make someone's
dreams come true…especially when that someone is a gifted young person
who really wants it and really deserves it.
Charice
Pempengco's dream of becoming a singer began halfway around the world
in the Philippines. She found a following on the Internet after a
stranger posted her jaw-dropping performances on YouTube.
Oprah's producers were among the 13 million people who logged on to watch this 16-year-old sensation sing songs
made famous by artists like Celine Dion and Beyoncé. Then, in May 2008,
Charice flew 15 hours to showcase her talent on The Oprah Show. She stole the show with a soul-stirring rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing."

Millions of viewers were moved by Charice's powerful voice—including
Gayle King. "That evening Gayle called me," Oprah says. "She said she
fell off her treadmill when she heard that girl." Oprah says the
performance blew her Manolos off!
Charice's voice wasn't the
only thing that impressed Oprah. "One of the things I love most about
Charice is that no matter what obstacles she's faced in her life, she's
never given up on her dream of something better," Oprah says.
