kilt."

talent is being recognized not only by
her fellow Filipinos but by a lot of
Americans as well.

"I really can't believe po na
kasama ko sa iisang topic si Lady Gaga.
Super Fan po niya ako. To be crowned as
the New Pop Princess it's really an honor
for me. Nanginig ako nung nabasa ko.
Feeling ko, ang laking responsibilidad
kasi po dating Pop Princess si Britney
Spears po. Nagpapasalamat po ako hindi
lang po sa mga Pinoy na sumusuporta sa
akin kundi lahat po ng supporters sa iba't ibang bansa. Mapa-Amerikano man po
o kahit ano po, salamat po sa
lahat," Charice said.

She's also happy that her
single "Pyramid" has been
downloaded over a million times despite tough competition from other pop
artists.

"Super happy po ako. New York Post
is really BIG. And really happy na ako
yung napili nila na i-crown as New Pop Princess, although there's a lot of teen
artists po talaga dito sa Amerika na
magaling po talagang pop singers. I
wanna thank them po sa pagpili nila sa
akin. And thanks po sa lahat ng nagview
ng Pyramid ko, it's finally over 1M
views! I can't wait po na makita nila
yung official music video. Though wala
pa pong exact date. But I'm sure
ilalabas na po ito soon. Nakita ko na po kanina and it's really inspirational. I
hope magustuhan po nila."

Currently, Charice is in the United
States to work on her first
international album "Charice: A
Star Is Born".

The album will be
launched on May 11, or a day after her
18th birthday.

on “"The Oprah Winfrey Show".”
