Sarah can’t believe Regine’s guesting in her first solo concertSARAH Geronimo was profuse in thanking Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez for agreeing to guest in her first solo concert at the Araneta Coliseum on Sept. 30."I’m so excited. I hope I don’t get nervous when I perform with her together on stage," Sarah says.
The Teen Princess has been rehearsing hard for the show, "Sarah Geronimo: The Other Side," because she doesn’t want to disapoint her fans.
She’s been idolizing Regine since she was a kid. "I used to watch her on television. I sang her songs. Now she’s guesting in my concert! Sometimes I ask myself, ‘Is this for real?’"
Regine was host of ‘Star for a Night’," where Sarah won and got her first big break.
"I won’t ever forget her appearing in my show," says Sarah, who just turned 17.
Also guesting in "Sarah Geronimo: The Other Side" are Piolo Pascual, Mark Bautista, and taekwondo expert Japoy Lizardo.
Viva’s main man Vic del Rosario is excited for Sarah.
"The Araneta is the ultimate test for all aspiring performers," Boss Vic says. "A one-night show at the Araneta can make or break an artist. I’m pretty confident Sarah will make it with flying colors."
The concert is a Viva Concerts production.
At 17, Sarah’s already a complete entertainer.
She has made a name as the star of the TV series "Sarah: The Teen Princess," which ran for two seasons at ABS-CBN. She has also had hosting stints in the same channel.
Sarah also parlayed her popularity into commercial success by stepping out as a product endorser.
She starred opposite Mark Bautista in her first-ever film, "Lastikman," Viva Films’ entry to last year’s Metro Manila Film Festival.
But beyond actng and hosting, Sarah has firmly established her stardom as a singer.
In the concert scene, Sarah and her gang have appeared thrice in the Araneta Coliseum.
Sarah capped 2004 with several trophies from the Aliw and Awit awards for her first album.
She was Aliw’s Most Promising Female Artist and brought home Awit Awards for Song of the Year and Best Performance by a Female Recording Artist.
