In the concert, the Canadian international star first told the life story of Charice.
"This young girl's name is Charice I'm so excited. She's 16 years old and she's from the Philippines let me tell you she has a voice and can literally blow the roof of Madison Square. But the real story is Charice and her mom escaped a terrifying experience and had to leave Charice's violent father. You know to start a life on their own, Charice thought to save her mom from life's desperation. Through prayers and dreams and God gave talent an incredible voice Charice entered and won every singing contest in her native country and eventually noticed by such a fortunate people saw the show on Oprah and Oprah want to take care of her wings and David Foster joined them.
"I had a chance to see Charice perform one of my song in Oprah last week. I have a little difficulty to talk right now because I met Charice and I'm so emotional and so I'm searching and looking for my words trying to control my emotion. I invited here to come her tonight to sing with me...,” said Celine Dion.
After Celine's lovely introduction to Charice she invited the latter to come up on stage and join her. Celine then told Charice how spectacular she is and how she looked really beautiful.
Celine even asked the young diva how she feels to be with her on the same stage. Charice admitted that she's nervous but Celine calmed her and said that she does not have to be.
"First of all you look spectacular you're beautiful, you're shaking, how do you feel? Don't be nervous I think people will understand that you're nervous. But let me tell you one thing, the talent we're not going to talk about because you have, we're not going to talk about strength because you have (Celine pointing to Charice's mom Raquel Pempengco) and so the love. And I have to tell you that the family we have to talk because you have too, one time my manager my husband told me 'Celine', because when I started to sing I was 12 years old so 12 and 16 it's the same, okay?
"He told me 'Celine I know you're nervous don't be scared you love to sing when you go up there you'll be nervous don't be.' I will give you an image that you can think about, think about that all the people you see in front of you are your brothers and sisters. You are singing in your living room and it's your family," Celine told Charice.
Charice in return said that she was ready to sing and agreed to dedicate their song "Because You Loved Me" to her mother Raquel.
The crowd, in standing ovation, roared and praised Celine and Charice after their performance.
"You did amazing, and the roof of the Madison (blew) up tonight," said Celine.
Celine also said that she loved Charice and that she could not wait to perform with Charice for a full concert.
"When you do perform in Madison Square are you going to invite me? I love you and I can not wait to be with you to perform here for a whole concert," Celine said before she let Charice leave the concert stage.
