Teen Singing Sensation

Celine Dion surprises Charice Pempengco

After her performance, Charice learns she has a fan who's been waiting to speak with her via satellite. She's a working mom with a 7-year-old who also loves to sing. She also happens to be one of Charice's idols—Celine Dion!

Celine says watching Charice sing left her speechless. "I can tell you that we have lots of things in common. I was very shy too. And I also had a mother—still have a mother—who is my strength," Celine says. "You have more talent than most people. You can sing. You can speak and sing with your heart. You can play guitar. You can draw. And you can have dreams."

Because Charice shares so much of her talent with others, Celine wants to give Charice something in return. "I'm going to be singing at Madison Square Garden, and I would love to ask you to come and sing a duet with me," she says. "Maybe we can sing 'Because You Loved Me,' and maybe we can dedicate this song to your mother."

Now it's Charice who's left speechless! "Thank you, idol," she says.
