Charice and Iyaz performing "Pyramid" on Oprah Winfrey Show!

Did you miss Charice and Iyaz performing on Oprah Winfrey 11th of May?
Here you can watch the performance of Pyramid written by David Jassy!

Charice’s ‘Pyramid’ is Pop wonder in Billboard chart

Few people ever get the rare chance of launching an international album on The Oprah Winfrey Show. But then Charice is a rare artist gifted with an unbelievable voice. Last May 11, a day after her birthday, Charice debuted her first self-titled international album at Oprah’s show. Performing the Billboard chart-topping dance single Pyramid with singer/rapper Iyaz and the legendary David Foster on piano, Charice’s command of the stage and her stunning delivery shows that she has turned into one of the music industry’s outstanding performers. As proof, more than 3 million fans have watched her videos on You Tube and her single Pyramid and album Charice are quickly taking the world by storm.

Just three years ago, the petite Filipina was a struggling teen-aged girl in Manila, joining one singing competition after another to help bring food on the table for her single mom Raquel and younger brother, Karl. After she was discovered in the Internet and then guested at the shows of Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey, life has dramatically changed for Charice and her family. Recently, she gifted her mom with a house and a car.

The legendary David Foster has taken her under his wing and she’s good friends with Oprah which she calls "an honor. I always get to hug her– that’s my favorite! I have learned to have her same attitude and to never stop dreaming."

Some of the words of Pyramid, written by Swedish songwriter David Jassy, aptly describes Charice’s struggle to the top.

We took it from the bottom up
And even in a desert storm
Sturdy as a rock we hold
Wishing every moment froze
Now I just wanna let you know
Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock
It feels just like it’s heaven’s touch
Together at the top, like a pyramid
And even when the wind is blowing
We’ll never fall just keep on going
Forever we will stay, like a pyramid

The R&B love song, Pyramid, is Charice’s second international single; the first being Note to God. "I’m really, really excited because this is actually my first ever Pop/R&B album because I’d been singing, you know, Whitney Houston’s songs and Celine Dion’s songs… And now, I can’t believe that these are my own songs," she told Oprah.

Foster, who was seated with the audience that time, turned a little emotional as well when Oprah asked him about Charice, where he also revealed that he’d agreed to be her godfather. Later, the smile on Foster’s face when Charice hit her big note on Pyramid just reflected pure pride.

‘Charice’ debuts at No. 8 on Billboard 200; 'Pyramid’ expected to ‘scale multiple charts’

After her second international single, “Pyramid,” topped the Billboard Dance/Club chart, comes Charice with her eponymous debut album which zooms to number eight on the Billboard 200 this week on strength of her album launch and fourth appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on May 11.

Billboard.com reported album sales of 43,000 copies, trailing behind the latest CD of R&B singer Usher. The feat, Charice said via Twitter, is a “dream come true.”

This development somewhat alleviates the pressure posed on the 18-year old Filipina star whom some say may have a challenging time penetrating the US teen market because of being heavily identified with the “moms” segment from her guest appearances on "Oprah."

The YouTube sensation is identified as the little girl with the big voice who can belt out power ballads by Celine Dion and Whitney Houston. However, as Associated Press puts it, “these days, it's the grooves behind the big voice that matter.”

Released last Feb. 23, "Pyramid" took a protracted climb at the Billboard Dance/Club Party Chart, reaching the top almost three months later. So far, the single is yet to penetrate the Billboard Hot 100.

Charice’s mentor, producer extraordinaire David Foster, who is also responsible for some of Celine’s and Whitney’s hits back in the days, told AP in an interview that he is well aware of the challenge, that’s why they made a “conscious decision” to make the petite belter’s sound more appealing and accessible to her generation.

The result: A pop-R&B album which features not only Charice’s “towering voice” but also the artistic services of young writers and producers. These include in-demand songwriter Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and Swedish songwriter David Jassy, who co-wrote “Pyramid.”

With the proliferation of hook-laden pop songs, which seem to be nothing more than the hooks, David believes that Charice has a musical gap to fill.

"There is a lack of organic music right now, and it's fine - it's just the phase that we're in. I think there is room for some more musicality," he said. More, “[Charice] has the entire package.”

In spite of these issues, Billboard predicts that “like any strong pop song, expect this one (“Pyramid”) to scale multiple charts.” The song also earned praise from the popular American music mag, which described it as “a radio-friendly number about defying the odds while displaying the kind of vocal range that other budding pop stars simply don't have.” It “ultimately sounds believable because of Charice's conviction in her delivery.”
