Modern Quill

Charice makes me feel old Posted: 28 Dec 2008 08:04 PM CST Sometimes, I worry too much about mortality. Well, I’m Catholic, and my father is unseasonably advanced compared to the parents of other 21-year olds (he has three decades on my girlfriend’s mother). And in the back of my mind I keep little nuggets like, “You know, Mozart died at 35. You’re three years past his middle age, bucco.” Charice album cover. Star Records, 2008 And then I turn on “Hit Man, David Wallace and Friends” on PBS and learn about Charice. Mein Gott. Even though I can safely say, “I’ve never wanted to do a convincing cover of a Whitney Houston song,” I still envy her raw talent. There’s no doubt that a lot of talent at a young age can be a curse as well as a blessing, but I wouldn’t know too much about that. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when she stops covering the standards and does her own thing. Maybe her album is worth a look.
