Charice 'Born This Way' cover (clear video)

Charice covers Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' in her video greeting for popular gossip blogger Perez Hilton during the latter's birthday celebration last March 26.

Watch video!Charice sang it so well.

Aside from Charice, other celebs who wished Perez a happy birthday thru a video greeting were Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Nelly Furtado, Sugarland and Lady Gaga.

But many are wondering why of all songs Charice chose to sing this Lady Gaga hit.

"Born This Way" was the song which made Filipina-Canadian Maria Aragon a Youtube sensation and some people are now comparing the versions of the two talented girls.

Charice is also being compared of course to the original singer Lady Gaga. Gossip site Hollywoodlife.com conducted a poll asking its readers to choose who between Charice and Lady Gaga sing "Born This Way" better than the other, 86% of the voters voted for Charice.

Before Charice, Katy Perry also sang her own version of "Born This Way" during her concert early days of March. And many also said that Perry did it better than Gaga.

Maria Aragon, Thia Megia or Charice: Who's the best singer?

Maria Aragon, Thia Megia and Charice are three young Filipinas who are making headlines around the world for their incredible talent in singing.

And definitely, all three of them are making us all proud to be Filipinos.

10-year-old Fil-Canadian Maria Aragon rose to fame after Lady Gaga discovered her singing "Born This Way" on Youtube.

She got invited to appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and "Good Morning America", and just last Thursday, she performed on stage with no less than Lady Gaga. And it all happened in just 2 weeks.

From 'America's Got Talent', Thia Megia meanwhile is again making a name for herself as among the Final 13 of American Idol Season 10. This Fil-Am girl is only 15, but sounds and sings like a pro, that even American Idol host Ryan Seacrest couldn't believe she's just 15.

She recently impressed the American Idol judges with "Out Here On My Own" and even reminded them of Michael Jackson.

Thia will definitely stay longer in the competition and let's all hope that she'll be the first Pinoy to win on American Idol.

Charice on one hand has achieved a lot already, including her GLEE-ful performances.

She also started gaining recognition at a young age of 15 and she will certainly continue to bring honor for our country.

You've heard them all sing and definitely they all sing great, but I want to know, who among them sings the best?

Lady Gaga's shocking new look this 2010

Lady Gaga's look has always been shocking ever since. And for 2010, she reportedly has a shocking new look.

That guy on the left is named Jo Calderon and appears in the September 2010 issue of Vogue Hommes Japan. And he really looks like Lady Gaga.

Thus many believe it's Lady Gaga in disguise. And reportedly, he's the singer's alter-ego.

Ahmm, I think it's really Lady Gaga. Does it confirm the rumor that she's really a "hermafrodita" or hermaphrodite?

Lady Gaga "Alejandro" music video release on June 8

Lady Gaga's official music video for her single "Alejandro" was
announced to be released Monday, May 31, 2010.

And now fans ask, "Where is the music video? It's already May 31!"

But too bad that they have to wait for another week as news broke out
a few hours ago via @gagadaily on Twitter that the Alejandro music
video will be finally released on June 7th 8th at Lady Gaga's official website. Why a sudden change of release date?

It's unknown, but June 8 is also that day when Christina Aguilera's "Bionic"
album is out in the market.

Fans clamoring for Alejandro video began when Lady Gaga performed it
during the May 6 results show of American Idol Season 9.

Even if the music video isn't out yet, "Alejandro" is currently
charting very well on Billboard charts. From #40 last week, it's now
#16 on Billboard Hot Dance Club Play countdown and ranks 8th in
Billboard Hot 100 chart.

With this, it's highly possible that it will rank 1st as soon as the
music video comes out.

"Alejandro" is Lady Gaga's 3rd single from her "The Fame Monster"
album after Bad Romance and Telephone.
