10 Things I Like About Charice's One Day Music Video

There are more than a hundred things I like about Charice's One Day video but I have decided to list only ten here, and in no particular order:



1. Inspirational - The song and the video have a real uplifting effect on people's lives. Read this comment on YouTube http://t.co/S3TI7U4

2. Positive - Many are sadly mistaken thinking that to be realistic one has to highlight what's negative. Charice has gone through so many negatives in her young life yet she chooses to turn those around into something positive - and that's what makes this song so authentic. (FYI: Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers co-wrote and co-produced "One Day". Great collaboration between two extremely talented young artists)

3. Fun - Makes you want to go to school! Someone posted on YouTube: "If only this could really happen in Schools :/" That's the video's point, make the positive change, make it happen!

4. It's real - One Day, the song and the music video, are about people. And it is not simply a put-on, feel-good thing. Charice here is the real Charice, the main characters are real, the message is real. Who knows better than Charice when she sings, they’re not gonna keep me down, they’re not gonna shut me out, they’re gonna do what they do, i'll do me; i’m moving against the crowd, i’m drowning out the doubt? Starting at a very early age, Charice has had more than her fair share of hardships, putdowns, poverty, and even domestic violence. And at only 19 now, look at the great things she's achieved so far.

5. It's so upbeat it makes me want to shout "YEAH!" with Charice.

6. Charice's dance moves - It's not just that she can dance. She's a dancer! Famous choreographer Gil Duldulao ("Janet's Dance Guru") said in the "Charice - One Day Behind the Scenes": Charice is a raw, natural performer so I don't really need to bring anything out of her.

7. Her angelic smile - everytime she flashes that smile, or gives even just a hint of it, it really gives a happy feeling.

8. Camera captures perfectly the look in her eyes when each of the three students feel uncertain - her eyes say it all: Don't worry, you can do it!

9. Charice is a guardian angel in the video. And she is like that in real life: always inspiring, encouraging, and guiding (even people older than her!).

10. Ok, this is a girl comment: her make-up. I just have to say that its simplicity brings out her natural beauty. Couldn't have been better :) Thanks to Dusty Starks!

Charice in 98.5 KLUC's End of Summer Block Party 2011

Charice will perform again in 98.5 KLUC's End of Summer Block Party
Update: See Charice perform Louder http://youtu.be/fNH6afE5WLI
She also performed Before it Explodes, Pyramid Iyaz, and One Day with Chaster Vanessa

After first reading about it in Charicemania.com (where they also have a "radio request must-read"), I quickly searched in YouTube for her performance in the same event last year. Below is a playlist of the videos courtesy of SideburnerSol and uploaded by ChariceTVCrew.



Reading the article by LAfan posted in Charicemania.com perfectly complements these videos.

We can expect Charice to sing "Louder" live at the event since 98.5 KLUC is promoting it on their site: New Music From GLEE Star Charice

Read the details of the End of Block Summer Party 2011 below.

Will Charice and the One Day Music Video appear at the Teen Choice Awards 2011?

Look at this news from the Teen Choice Awards site: http://www.teenchoiceawards.com/news.html

In this year's TCA, Charice is not among the nominees (at least the last time I checked). Earlier today on Twitter, when asked about her appearing as a performer, she replied:
No, I won't perform. hummmm....

When another Chaster asked if she will be the Acuvue Inspire awardee, she said no:
Neither.... hahahhaa

Finally, when the same Chaster just expressed her hope that Charice will come out at the event, Charice replied:
Who knows... just might appear like a mushroom (meaning, unexpectedly) again. :))

Charice really knows how to keep Chasters in suspense. Well, I think Chasters do not mind at all. We enjoy looking forward to Cha's many surprises!

In case the Teen Choice Awards page has changed content, below's a screenshot:
