Ellen and Oprah fans might remember Charice Pempengco (Sunshine Corazon) as the 14 year old kid featured on their shows a few years back. Oprah gave Charice her big break and hooked her up with Celine Dion and ultimately David Foster when she was 15.

The kid grew up in the Philippines with a single mom and used her voice to support her family. What a Cinderella story.
