You might not be familiar with Charice Pempengco, but once upon a time, this small-statured singer from the Philippines captured the world’s attention — even earning the title “the most talented girl in the world” from none other than Oprah Winfrey herself. And if there’s one thing Oprah knows, it’s talent.
Charice’s rise to global fame began at the age of just fourteen, thanks to a jaw-dropping viral video on YouTube that showcased her powerhouse vocals. Among those captivated by her voice was legendary composer and producer David Foster, who didn’t just recognize her gift — he took her under his wing.
In one unforgettable performance, Foster personally played the piano for Charice as she tackled the notoriously challenging ballad “All By Myself.” The result? Pure magic. Both the seasoned producer and the live audience were left speechless by her commanding, emotion-packed delivery.
Watch the breathtaking performance below — and prepare to be amazed.
