In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN's Karen Davila, Charice disclosed that she was supposed to sing and dance with Michael Jackson in the King of Pop's series of comeback concert performances starting on July 13 at the O2 Arena in London.
This is the transcript of that interview:
Karen: Isa sa nalungkot sa pagkamatay ni Michael Jackson ay ang Pinay international singer na si Charice Pempengco. Ibinunyag ni Charice ang kanyang matagal nang sikreto tungkol sa pinaplanong showdown nilang dalawa ni Michael Jackson.
Karen: Ilang araw nang pinapraktis ni Charice ang paborito niyang sayaw na moonwalk sa awiting Billie Jean dahil sa susunod na linggo, magri-rehearse na sana sila ni Michael Jackson para sa kaniyang comeback world tour ngayong Hulyo kaya't na-shock siya nang mapanood sa TV ang balitang pumanaw na ang pop icon.
Charice: Nakita ko na lang kanina na 'Jackson patay na!' Sinong Jackson? Baka mali naman Nakita ko na siya yung nagsasayaw and parang, nanghina po ako kasi si Michael Jackson po, kahit hindi niya ko nami-meet, dun ko po na-feel na talagang mabait po siya kasi po ako po nag-uumpisa pa lang naman po ako so, siya po legend ... legendary singer po siya.
Karen: Ayon kay Charice, nasa private party raw siya ng Warner Brothers nang biglang lapitan siya ng abogado ni Michael Jackson.
Charice: Nagpakilala po siya na, 'I'm the lawyer of Michael Jackson.' So, "Hi, Sir! Ginulat lang po niya ko na parang ... 'We want Mike ...' parang 'Michael Jackson chose you to be his special guest for his tour, world tour' ... parang napatigil po 'ko.
Karen: Napapanood raw siya ni Michael sa Oprah pero pinili siya nitong maka-duet nang mapanood niya itong nagmu-moonwalk sa kantang Billie Jean sa youtube.
Karen: Anong song dapat ang idu-duet n'yo?
Charice: Supposed to be po yun po kasing dream ko yung Billie Jean po, parang showdown po na sayaw namin.
Karen: Ano daw sinabi ni Michael about you?
Charice: Right away po kasi, nung makita niya po yung video, right away, 'I want this kid.'
Karen: Matapos maka-duet si Celine Dion, si Michael Jackson na sana ang pinakamatindi niyang makakatapat niya sa entablado. Kahit hindi ito natuloy, laking pasasalamat pa rin ni Charice at napili siya nitong makasama. At sa kanyang first solo concert bukas, isang tribute ang iaalay niya sa King of Pop.
Charice: (singing 'I am here with you For you're far away I am here to stay For you are not alone ...)
Karen: Abangan n'yo po ang kabuuang interview kay Charice ...
Here is the ABS-CBN video clip of Karen Davila's interview with Charice Pempengco via kyte.tv:
I don't know if this the video that Michael Jackson saw at youtube but it does show Charice singing Billie Jean and doing some moonwalk moves:
This is believed to be Michael Jackson's first ever moonwalk with Billie Jean. This happened on March 25, 1983 when Michael performed "Billie Jean" to critical and popular acclaim. The event was the Motown 25: Today, Yesterday, Forever, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Motown at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
This is billed as the best moonwalk ever by Michael Jackson:
