Charice heads to Dubai in March as part of her world tour to promote her second album
Dubai: Fans in the UAE should to brace themselves for another round of killer vocals as singing sensation Charice heads to Dubai in March as part of her world tour to promote her second album Infinity.
The Pyramid singer's performance in Dubai has been widely anticipated following a cancelled concert in October last year. Her last visit to Dubai was in 2010, when she had a concert with singer-songwriter Billy Crawford at the Dubai Tennis Stadium.
On her official website, Charice listed her tour dates, beginning with Dubai on March 2, then Singapore on March 5, followed by Jakarta on March 7, Hong Kong on March 19 and Korea on March 21.
Charice's meteoric rise to fame started with a YouTube video clip of her singing on an Asian variety show. The clip went viral, making her an instant celebrity and leading to a guest appearance at the shows of Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey, who was so impressed by her powerful vocals that she told her: "You are a force to be reckoned with. That voice comes from something bigger than yourself."
Charice has performed alongside artists like Michael Bublé, Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, and Josh Groban, before finally releasing her first album, which hit the top of the charts in Japan and Asia. She also secured a guest role in TV series Glee and in the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, and has just finished filming her first feature film Here comes the boom with Salma Hayek and Kevin James.
She describes her rise to fame as a "dream come true". For fans in the UAE, it looks like the same will hold true when they finally see her again next month.
