Charice & Michael Bolton's "The Prayer", a Show-Stopper

From Philstar.com:

When Bolton’s turn came, he materialized from the entrance, mixed with the audience and had his picture taken with some fans while he was singing and proceeded to the stage for more of his well-loved songs, including When A Man Loves A Woman and To Love Somebody.

And then came Charice, opening her set with Power Of Love and ending it with a number from her new (second) album Infinity which was released in Japan and instantly made it to the Top 10 Hits (in the US?), which, according to Foster, “makes Charice the first Asian ever,” and a Filipino at that, to score such a hit.

Hands-down show-stopper was the The Prayer duet of Charice and Bolton whose blended voices sounded so heavenly that they made you feel like, yes, you were in heaven.

Michael Bolton Talks About Charice: She's Amazing!

From Philstar.com:

How Michael makes you feel his love

Why didn’t you include a Filipino artist like Charice who’s a protégé of David Foster who worked with you on the album? Do you know her?

“Oh yes, I know. I wish I had met her sooner. But I am going to be working with her on this tour — you know, David Foster and Friends. Charice and I are working on a little surprise, so I do have a chance to perform with her. She’s amazing!”

Is David also involved in your and Charice’s “little surprise”?

“Hmmmmm. As I said, it’s a ‘little surprise.’ David is a pleasure to work with. In Gems, he’s involved in three tracks: The Prayer (with Lara Fabian), and a medley of When A Man Loves A Woman (with Seal) and It’s A Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World (also with Seal and James Brown joining in). Performing with David and Charice in Manila would be fun. I asked David if Charice and I could sing together and next thing I knew he got back to me and said, ‘Yes, you could.’ I don’t want to tell you what it is Charice and I are going to do but my plan is that Charice and I can do something together onstage.”

(Foster was quoted as saying, “I woke up at 6 o’clock one morning with the idea that these two songs [the medley] could go together, with these two great voices from different genres, and they embraced it. This is a powerful, powerful moment. It’s a real shootout, and it’s impossible to say who wins because they’re both amazing.”)

Oops! The “little surprise” is out of the bag, partly.

“Okay, we might do a recording together.”
