International young singing sensation Charice proudly shared that she is part of David Foster's newest album entitled "Hitman: David Foster & Friends."

In an exclusive interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, Charice said that she cannot believe that her track will be included in Foster's album together with songs from music icons like  Kenny G., Michael Buble, Josh Groban, Brian McKnight, Katharine McPhee, Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion.

"Masaya po talaga ako at kasama po ako sa album ni Mr. David Foster. Nagulat nga po ako kasi ang lalaki ng mga pangalang kasama doon sa album. Tapos doon sa pinakita sa akin parang magkatabi po yata kami ng pangalan ni Celine Dion," Charice said.

Charice is now in the country to take a short break. She is set to fly back to the U.S. to promote the album. Charice is scheduled to guest in America's popular morning show "Good Morning America."

"Second time kong magpo-promote sa American TV show yung una sa CBS New York, next 'yung Good Morning America. Masaya ako at magge-guest ako sa Good Morning America kasi first time kong mag-guest sa ganitong sikat na morning show sa U.S.," Charice said.

The young diva also shared that she will also be back at the CBS show and will be doing other international television guestings to promote Foster's album.

"Hitman: David & Friends" will be released November 11th worldwide.

Charice met Foster last year in Los Angeles before she taped her guest appearance on "The Ellen Degeneres Show". They later flew together to Las Vegas on a private jet to watch the farewell show of Celine Dion at the Caesar’s Palace Colosseum.

According to Charice, it was Foster who recommended her to Oprah's show and it was Oprah who in turn recommended her to Foster to handle her international recording career.

After her two guestings on Oprah, doors of opportunity started  to open as she started to conquer international celebrity events like  Big Brothers Big Sisters, Macy's 150th anniversary, and Carousel of Hope.

It will also be recalled that it was in Foster's concert at Mandalay Bay last May that Charice met one of her music idols Andrea Bocelli.

Last July 20th, Charice wowed Italians as she performed at Teatro del Silenzio in Tuscany, Italy for pop tenor Andrea Bocelli's birthday concert dubbed "The Cinema Tribute." The world famous tenor invited her to that event after she performed for the benefit concert at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Charice also proved that dreams do come true when she had her duet performance with international performer Celine Dion.

Charice will be leaving for the United States on Saturday, November 15th. She and her mother Raquel will fly back to Manila first week of December.
