Filipina singing sensation Charice Pempengco will soon be walking the halls of McKinley High.
The singer will join the cast of Glee with a recurring role on the second season of the Fox comedy-musical.
Charice has been called the next Celine Dion by industry analysts and fans alike and her voice should add a whole new reason to watch the show.
It also doesn’t hurt Glee that Charice has become an internet sensation, racking up millions of video views.
She will play a foreign exchange student on the show who according to E! Gossip 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.”
Charice tweeted the good news:
“It’s official. I’m on Glee (next season) but story behind it. When d rumor came out, it wasn’t true. But then after that; I tried to audition. And i made it!!! Let’s Party!!!!”
Charice just released her self-titled debut in the U.S. last month and celebrated her 18th birthday. It’s a late birthday present but also a cool addition to the Glee cast.
Here’s a video of her first official song release:
The second season of Glee will debut this Fall on Fox.

TO ALL CHARICE FANS and Chasters:
We should all be proud and inspired by WHAT Charice has ACCOMPLISHED…NOT WHO she is. She CAN NOT change the fact that she is FILIPINO, but she can change WHAT she wants to achieve in LIFE.
Also, MOST of her fans are actually NOT FILIPINO. In fact, sadly and ironically, most of the Charice HATERS are FILIPINO. So please, don’t say “filipino pride, proud to be filipino, etc.” It does NOT help Charice and only hurts her image. Keep that to yourself.
Charice is where she is today NOT because she is Filipino but because of the perseverance and hard work that she has endured. Be PROUD of Charice for what she has accomplished NOT the fact that she is Filipino.

@Resonance, I am a Charice fan/chaster and I am PROUD AND INSPIRED OF WHO SHE IS and NOT JUST OF WHAT SHE HAS ACCOMPLISHED. I understand your “annoyance” (i am annoyed too) about some fans much emphasis and of their flag waving all the time but this should not take away anything from WHO CHARICE is and what she has achieved. And also, i seriously doubt if Charice would even think or want to change her nationality or ethnicity. It is part of who she is and nothing can change that.:)
