Charice to perform at Obama pre-inauguration party.

International singing sensation Charice confirmed that she is set to perform at the pre-inauguration party of US president-elect Barack Obama in Washington DC which was slated on January 18.

Charice said she will be performing two songs, “God Bless America” and “One Moment In Time.” The young singer said that she still has to confirm though if she is will also be present at the inauguration.

Since last year, blogs and message forums have been flooded with discussions about Charice’s scheduled performance at Obama’s historic inauguration.

It is rumored that Oprah Winfrey was the one who recommended Charice to the first American black president. Oprah, who calls Charice “the most talented girl” after hearing her sing on The Oprah Winfrey Show, is also an avid supporter of Barrack Obama.

Charice, named one of People Asia Magazine's People of the Year 2008, is scheduled to stay in the United States for almost three months to record her first international debut album.
