MANILA, Philippines - When international singing sensation Charice performed an original song on the season finale of "Glee" on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila), Twitterverse was abuzz not just about her powerful performance, but also about her weight.

On the TV show, Charice, as Sunshine Corazon, performed "As Long As You're There" after her reconciliation with the show's lead character, Rachel Berry (Lea Michele).

But aside from her powerful production number, people could not help but notice that Charice is gaining weight.

It became obvious especially when she put her hair up and wore a fitted blue dress.

Some netizens, like Bret Wolfe, seemed not to mind though. "Charice has put on some weight! She looks beautiful," Wolfe tweeted.

Jessica Guerra noted that even though her idol gained weight, she is still very confident.

"Magaling siyang kumanta kahit mataba siya. Confident naman siya sa sinusuot niya. Kaya niyang dalhin style ng iba," Jessica Guerra said.

Melissa Sirois said that she sees nothing wrong even if Charice weighs 200 lbs.

"Why is everyone talking like Charice is 200 lbs? That dress with a WIDE belt would make anyone look heavier. I think she looks great as is," Sirois tweeted.

"Regardless of how people reacted on our dear Charice’s physical attributes, it doesnt affect any at all her performance and appearance on the said episodes but instead my admiration and excitement heated up and level up way way high!!!" netizen Chris said.

Others, however, were not too kind, with some calling on her to watch her weight.

"@roshelletally25 that was a fail. xD 'Who Charice?' gawd. xD and my dad said she looked 'bigger' than usual too. :P," user BuenaJill said.

"Ang ganda ganda ng boses niya pero halatang mas nanaba siya ngayon," her Filipino fan Faye Donna Osuna, a student from Laguna, said.

"Mataas ang boses niya at maganda pero parang mukha na siyang siopao," Sanna Samaniego, a mass communication student, said.

"A comment about Charice’s weight gain or a suggestion/reminder to watch her weight is not stupid. No matter how you justify how she looked: it’s just the hair style, the dress, the angle of shots, etc., (which could be true), the fact remains that on screen she did look fat and I was truly concerned," jazzyme said.
