Youtube sensation Charice Pempengco, the young Pinay diva, has been wowing audiences around the world ever since she guested on the Ellen Degeneres show. From Korea to the US to London, Charice has returned to the United States as guest in the highest-rating talk show Oprah, hosted by superstar Oprah Winfrey.
This May, she will be guesting on Oprah in an episode on child prodigies.

The young singer just came from London for her guest appearance in the British talk show titled Paul O’Grady Show last Tuesday, April 8. The format of the show is like that of David Letterman and Jay Leno. Charice once again belted her signature song “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” from the musical Dreamgirls, and once again, the 15-year-old singer mesmerized the audience with her powerful voice.
Actress, model and endorser Nancy Castiglione, has surprised the public with her makeover and reinvented herself into a recording artist and sounds like Bonnie Bailey or Kylie Minogue. And instead of using Nancy Castiglione she made it Nancy Jane for easy recall and made it sound more international. By the way, her full name is Nancy Jane Jimenez Castiglione.
Not many know that Nancy had formal training in both classical and theatrical music and was once part of a Philippine cultural dance group. During this stint, she learned how to dance the folk dances such as the tinikling, pandanggo sa ilaw, wasiwas, among others.
Her debut album entitled Nancy Jane is under Warner Music Philippines. It contains 12 tracks including compositions by Rico Blanco, Mayee Caballero, Shiela Judalena and Jingle Buena with the carrier single Love Song which recently premiered in MYX.

The singer admits that cutting an album was a long time dream of hers and that, all along, she was just waiting for the right timing.
