Glee Girls, Lock Up Your Men! Pop Star Charice Is Coming

Sources confirm pop star Charice is coming to Glee this fall in a recurring role.

So who will she be playing? What's the Shannon Elizabeth connection? And what's the latest on those Justin Timberlake rumors?

I'm told Charice will play a foreign exchange student (just reported by EW) with an ah-mazing singing voice--who will catch the eye of at least one Glee boy (shades of S.E. in American Pie), and the stank eye of one Ms. Rachel Berry (Lea Michele).

Meanwhile, we're told there is "nothing to report" regarding rumors that that other singing sensation you may have heard of, Justin Timberlake, will be coming on the show--at least not yet. Multiple cast members--including Lea, Jenna Ushkowitz and even his doppelganger Matthew Morrison--have told me they'd love to have his sexy back on for a M.M./J.T. dance-off, so keep those fingers crossed.

Now, start your betting. Which guy will catch Charice's eye? And what are we gonna do about it?

=================================================================

I'm really excited about this since back in 2009, a thread about Miss Saigon being made into a Movie, a lot have thrown her name around as Kim.

Well now we can see her acting out in a Broadway Musical like made for TV drama, and see if she really have the acting chops for a Broadway Musical made for Movie, that apparently will start filming in 2011.

Broadway Legend Ms. Lea Salonga was reportedly very ecstatic about Charice's Drama Musical debut and have offered her mentorship to Charice, whenever she is back in her own country. Take note she might be the only one with a Broadway and WestEnd Legend mentoring her in acting among the GLEE kids this Fall.

What Say you?

Besides a "pop star," who is Charice?

I wonder if they're going to auto-tune her?

Dislike the show. Hate the "pop" crap Charice is currently singing. Glad I'll miss both.

Don't they auto-tune everyone?

Um...never heard of her.

Well they did autotuned her a little in her 1st single out of her album Pyramid with Iyaz

But the rest of the songs on her album they preserved her voice without autotuning:

In This song

Nobody's singing to me

It's probably one of the very few mainstream pop/ RNB that dont have significant Autotuning in the songs besides the Adult contemporary and Acoustic genre Albums

That actually is the reason why she got Casted...She's unknown in the USA but already big in Asia. She's actually the only Asian artist in the Billboard 200 Top 10 in the USA and Top 5 in Canada, Ever

I wouldn't say she's unknown in the USA, I'm not that into the music scene at all but I've had Charice on my iPod for over a year, not to mention her single "Pyramid" went to the iTunes top ten instantly.

She was casted? That sounds painful.

Who the hell is Charice? Either way, I won't be watching.

I think she is best left untangled, so to speak, or she and her mother might turn out to be about as much fun as The Ransom of Red Chief, if you will excuse the literary allusion.

Why is this on the Main Board?

[millie_dillmount]

Because it is. What's wrong with it being here? Glee often covers popular Broadway songs, and many of its actors have been involved on Broadway (Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison).

Boq, I gave up that fight long ago.

People would rather believe Broadway performers sing using auto tune and use generic acting skills rather than admit that Glee is just a corny TV show. A show I personally feel is a load of crap, but I won't get into that...
