CELINE and Charice in New York: Watch me reach that note up there, too!
Uh-oh! Rachel Berry's got a new rival on "Glee."
Charice will recur next season on the dramedy, a show rep says.
The 18-year-old international singing star will play a foreign exchange student with vocal chops that will give Rachel (Lea Michele) some serious competition, according to Entertainment Weekly, which first reported the news.

Charice rose to fame on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" after a video of her performing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" went viral on YouTube when she was 16. She released her self-titled debut album in May.
