Just What The World Needed: A Younger, Bigger-Voiced (And Female) David Archuleta


Charisse Pempengco is a teenager from the Philippines who’s already something of a reality-tv vet in her native country, and she appeared on Oprah recently, eager to show off her (half-impressive, half-depressing) Whitney Houston impersonation to millions of Winfrey acolytes.

(A tip: Someone should sit her down with the cautionary tale of Bianca Ryan before she gets any big ideas/accelerates the inevitable blowing-out of her vocal cords.) [YouTube]

    Can’t these kids find someone to emulate other than Whitney Houston? Call me when you find a 13-year-old from Kansas who does Plasmatics covers.

    @Superawesomerad: I’d settle for a decent Rick Danko.
