    I get goosebumps whenever I see the reaction of the people (foreign people) when she sings. Still not a fan of her, though.

    Think about it, "foreigners" (mentioned by Badong) who like what they hear in Charice have different esthetic taste than most Filipinos residing in the Philippines who prefer local professional singers who, by the way, have their own share of youtube exposures like Charice but had never been well received as Charice abroad. I am not judging anyone's musical taste but this happens to be just my observation.
