Usher knows Pacquiao but not Charice

A few hours before his Live in Manila concert, R&B Superstar Usher is
being talked about not because of the nearing concert, but of a statement he made during the press conference last night.

Usher was just honest to say that he hasn't heard of Charice when asked if he knows the Filipina teen sensation.

I have just read an article at Manila Bulletin today and Usher's exact
statement about it was: "Actually I haven't heard about her, but I'm pretty sure, soon I will."

It's kinda shocking because all we thought was Charice is already widely famous in the US.

David Foster and Oprah Winfrey's goddaughter Charice has dominated the
Billboard charts and is now set to star in "Glee". She was featured
on CNN, sang with Celine Dion and already guested on a number of American TV shows, including her 4 guestings on Oprah.

But Usher, who's a famous singer, a successful record producer and
Justin Bieber's manager co-manager / mentor, still hasn't heard of her.

Maybe he hasn't turned on his TV for a long time and too busy with Justin Bieber.

Usher, however, is a fan of Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao. He's
rooting for him if in case Pacquiao will fight against Floyd
Mayweather Jr in the future.

The "Usher Live in Manila" concert happens tonight at SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. It's produced by Fearless Productions, who 's already
planning to bring Justin Bieber here.

Even Usher himself is looking forward to it. "Well maybe I'll send a word to have him come and see you guys after we have a great performance tomorrow," Usher told the press.
