Oprah Winfrey gives magazine staff $10,000 each Plus an iPad - Buzz In Hollywood

I just want to share to you this article that I read about Oprah Winfrey. I admire her so much because of her humanitarian deeds and maybe because of this she is blessed much. Last year she donated lots of money to South Africa for her school project. We also knew that she managed Charice career in United States of America. If you become successful in the future I encourage you to do the same starting with your own employees just like what she did this month.

Chenee Capunan | Pinay wins 2010 McDonald’s singing contest

Chenee Capunan
MANILA, Philippines – Another Filipino has impressed foreign audiences with her singing prowess.

Restaurant employee Chenee Capunan bagged the grand prize of Voice of McDonald’s in April, besting other finalists from Peru and South Korea.

Voice of McDonald’s is a global singing contest for McDonald’s employees, restaurant managers and crew.

Over 10,000 people from the fast food chain’s 32,000 branches around the world auditioned for the competition, which is already on its third year.

Winning the top prize gave the 21-year-old Davaoeña an opportunity to jumpstart her music career by recording demo material in an all-expense paid trip to Hollywood.

A previous Voice of McDonald’s winner has already released her first album.

Grammy Award-winning music producer Walter Afanasieff, a Voice of McDonald’s judge, commented on Capunan: “People stood right up after she sang and thinking about it, I still get chills. So definitely, she's got a future. And I'd like to help.”

Capuyan, for her part, said: “I'm so speechless. A lot of people are watching you performing live on stage. It was really amazing… I'd like to thank the McDonald's family for this wonderful opportunity. Thank you so much!”

The Filipino also won $20,000, a MacBook laptop, a music player and other bonus prizes.

“Sa mga may talento sa pagkanta, huwag kayong magsawa na ipakita ang talento ninyo… ipakita niyo po ang kaya ninyong gawin,” Capunan encouraged other aspiring singers.
