CHARICE PEMPENGCO.. ‘BIRIT’ isn’t really singing?
By admin | June 18, 2008
An article in Philippine Daily Inquirer by Nestor Torre about Charice ‘Birit’ power which according to him is not singing but a form of calisthenics not singing.
Truth to tell, birit isn’t really singing, it’s vocal calisthenics, a prodigious display of physical musical prowess, and often sheer copycat imitation of a foreign belter’s amazing vocal pyrotechnics.
It’s high notes for high notes’ sake, and really quite shallow and dismaying. Trouble is, many people here are still blown away by sheer birit belting.
I don’t agree with that. It’s a shame to think belting is a form of imitating foreign performers, duh! it is a special skill/talent to hit those high notes without ending just screaming (although some end up doing it). I agree partially, it a sort of vocal pyrotechnics but hey! most people love pyrotechnics.. makes their blood circulate better and alive again.
To you Charice… ‘Birit’ is one of your unique asset as an artist make use of it to the fullest to get people attention.

I don’t agree with Nestor Torre about birit. Is there such thing? Whatever comes out from someone else’s mouth while singing without artificial aid or gadget is true voice. Who will I believe? The big names in international music community who admire Charice’s voice or Nestor Torre. The truth is no one can match Charice’s voice especially those singers I often see on local tv (Kapalmilya). They are just ordinary singers with local appeal and have nil chance in guesting in international TV shows.
