5.0 out of 5 stars Listen to the Many Awe Inspiring Voices of Charice!, August 9, 2009

I am really rather surprised that this has not had any reviews. This is Charice's second album released in the Philippines and compared to the first; this album is a first class production. I am old enough to remember the release of the original versions of most of the songs on this album and they just happened to be favorites of mine from past times.

Each song has Charice singing in one of her many capable voices, which has allowed her to imitate other performers so well, but they are original arrangements and except for maybe Mariah Carey's "I'll Be There", she make no attempt to mimic the original performers, but still manages to show you how versatile her voice is by sounding like a different person in each song.

If you are already a fan of Charice, it would be a crying shame to miss out on this album. If you are new to Charice, then treat yourself to an album you just can't go wrong with. I listen to it daily and never seem to tire of it, which I can't seem to say about any other album I own. Charice is a star who has risen and shall one day burn more brightly. Who knows, maybe it will become a collectors item.

Shipping took a little long with me as I had pre-ordered it and there were some problems getting the initial copies here,but the wait was every bit worth it. Shouldn't have any problems with shipping now. So get yours today and let me know I was right!

"My Inspiration" is certified GOLD in The Philippines and probably is Platinum by now. It was produced & released by Star Records, the largest record producer in The Philippines. While it not a World class David Foster produced album it does have excellent production values, allowing Charice's extraordinary "tugs at your heart-strings" voice to shine. The first single from the album, "Always You" was a BiG hit here. All ten songs (plus 2 re-mixes) are wonderful. You will find yourself crying (Mama) one minute and emboldened to take on the World the next. The album is a two disk set. The second disk is the background music only for all the aspiring singers out there.

Charice is the "real deal" and this is her first full album. An earlier mini-album named simply "Charice" is also available here on Amazon.

Charice's latest release is also inspirational. If you haven't already, go download "A Note to God" right here on Amazon. It is the first single off her new album to be released February 2010. This is the fabulous song written by the legendary Diane Warren and produced by David Foster himself. Its debut on the Oprah Whinfrey show was breathtaking. It is a great prayer to listen to every day!! "A Note to God" belongs on every MP3 player in the World.

5.0 out of 5 stars "My Inspiration" is my inspiration & should be yours too!, November 1, 2009

Thanks Amazon for making this Philippines produced album easily available. After hearing Charice on David Foster's Hitman: David Foster and Friends DVD/CD set I have searched for information on this phenomenally talented singer / actress. She stared in a documentary titled "Ice Cream" and was just amazing. Her YouTube videos have close to 20 million hits in total and she is loved, yes, "loved" the World over. What a life story this extraordinarily talented young woman has. No wonder she puts so much feeling in her songs. Her duet with Celine Dion at Madison Square Garden made me cry and that rarely happens.

I am a very happy owner of this "My Inspiration" album as well as her first album "Charice" and her "Note to God" single. I'm checking into several other CDs where she has at least one song or duet included. Her duet with David Archuleta on his Christmas album "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" is delightful so it is next on my list.

Her voice has that special x-factor that cannot be explained. It "touches" the listener.
