Charice Insulted by American Singer Rex Smith

American singer Rex Smith allegedly insulted Pinay singing sensation Charice while she was rehearsing for a corporate show at a hotel in Cebu early this week.

Charice's manager Glenn Aldueza said in an interview on Thursday that Charice was doing her sound check for the event when Rex Smith suddenly went up the stage and told the Pinay singer to stop.

"We went there on time (2 p.m.) and she's doing the sound check with the musical director. Then suddenly a foreigner came up to the stage and then he pointed his finger to Charice and told Charice, 'Can you please stop what you are doing,'" Aldueza told ABS-CBN News.

Aldueza added that Rex Smith also argued with the musical director after the latter told the Simply Jessie singer that somebody is still rehearsing. Charice's manager also said that Rex Smith even uttered the F-word when he left the stage.

"Charice was shocked and according to her wala pang nakakagawa sa kanya ng ganoon, especially American artists na mataas ang respect sa kanya," Aldueza continued.

Someone from Ovation Productions, who brought Smith to the Philippines for the show, apologized to Charice's team after the incident. They also said that the American singer will be saying sorry personally, something that never happened according to Aldueza.

"Ayaw (ni Charice) na palakihin' yung nangyari pero as a manager we deserve an apology," Aldueza said.

Rex Smith is yet to react on the issue.

Charice Releases Liberation Album 'Chapter 10' under Star Records

International singing sensation Charice is loud and proud to share with the world her newest album under Star Records titled “Chapter 10.”

According to Charice, her ‘coming out’ also signaled the start of her musical liberation.

“When I was growing up I was ‘accompanied’ in my sleep up to my waking hour by Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Regine Velasquez and Lea Salonga,” she said. “Now, with the turn of events in my life, I listen more and more to Pink, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake, among others.”

“My new CD marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life. It’s about being free, celebrating my own identity without inhibitions, and becoming strong despite my own limitations,” the world-class singer said. “It’s my take on becoming true to myself to be able to deliver a more honest and heartfelt music to the people who believe in me and my craft. Plus I owe it to God who also loves lesbians like me.”

“I believe that ‘Chapter 10′ is a proof that talent goes beyond gender orientation. People love me for my voice. So, with a humble heart, I wish to give them every reason to love me even more with this album,” said Charice about her 10-track album. “I gave my best to this. I even spent sleepless nights at the studio perfecting some songs. This is the first album I will release after coming out. So I really chose to treat the listeners to something that is really a work of art.”

When asked what is so special about the number 10, Charice shared, “Aside from the fact that the album contains 10 songs, ten is close to my heart as it is the birthday of my mom and myself, and my anniversary with Alyssa (Quijano).”

Featured in “Chapter 10″ are nine uniquely creative revivals of ‘Titanium’, ‘How Could an Angel Break My Heart’, ‘Anything For You’, ‘Everything I Do, I Do It For You’, ‘Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough’, ‘Do You Know Where You’re Going To?’, ‘The One That Got Away’, ‘Makita Kang Muli’ and ‘Yakap;’ and one original composition co-written by Charice titled “Unexpected Love,” which she dedicates to her girlfriend.

Charice’s “Chapter 10” album is now available at all records bars nationwide and worldwide for only P299. The tracks can also be downloaded via iTunes, Amazon.com and MyMusicStore.com.ph.

Fans of Charice can follow her at www.charicemusic.com and twitter.com/officialccrp.
