Mommy Divine, the woman behind Sarah Geronimo's success
Ayon kay Mommy Divine, natural lamang na maging protective siya kay Sarah lalo pa’t babae ito. “Kung papabayaan mo siya (Sarah) sa showbiz, kawawa naman,” simula ni Mommy Divine. “Sa showbiz ‘pag pinabayaan mo, lalo na babae, may tendency na napapasama.” Depensa pa ni Mommy Divine, maraming mga artista ngayon ang napasama, na sana ay napigilan kung nagkaroon ng tamang pag-gabay. “Kasi ‘yung iba na napasama hindi naman niila gusto ang nangyari sa kanila. Nasa pag-iingat ‘yan,” paliwanag niya.
Pinaghirapan umano ni Sarah ang tagumpay na tinatamasa niya ngayon at nakaantabay umano si Mommy Divine upang masigurado na hindi masayang ang biyayang ipinagkaloob sa kanya. “Walang kuwenta ang lahat ng bagay na maa-achieve kung mapapabayaan. ‘Pag hindi mo siya tinutukan, baka attitude ang magbago. Importante na may nagsasabi agad (kapag mali ang ginagawa),” sabi pa nito.
Nang tanungin naman sa showbiz mom kung ano ang ikinakatakot niyang marinig sa anak at ikinakatakot niyang sabihin sa anak pagdating ng panahon, ito ay ang mga salitang “Bahala ka na sa buhay mo.” [ABS-CBN]

Update on Sarah Geronimo's US Tour
Newsflash gives us an update on Sarah's concert that all tickets were sold out according to the concert producer, Alfonso Chu or Tita Al as he is fondly called. Sarah is indeed the new concert princess that even during recession, people still paid to see her concert.
“Thank you,” was all Sarah could muster. She was visibly touched and surprised by the huge crowd that gave her two standing ovations in a show that is clearly her best ever. “This is going to be a different show,” promised Tito Al. And he was right. The show was amazing! Sarah has now become a seasoned performer. She danced, sang, bantered with the audience and was completely, visibly in control.

SARAH GERONIMO: RULING THE CONCERT SCENE DESPITE RECESSION
MANILA, MARCH 27, 2009 (STAR) By Raymond de Asis Lo / L.A. Correspondent
Recession or no recession, Sarah Geronimo packs the people in. Be it concert venues and cinema multiplexes in the Philippines and elsewhere in the world, she rules the scene.
“All concert tickets were sold out two weeks ago,” declared concert producer Alfonso Chu, or Tito Al, as he is fondly called, over dinner last Friday in Anaheim, California. This writer even overheard Tito Al tell one caller, who was angling for tickets, to just wait for September when Sarah returns for a planned repeat before she does her Canada Tour.
Most concert producers in the US agree that Sarah is the surest thing to a concert hit. This month she returns to Southern California for her sixth concert in five years and she is herself surprised to find that her followers continue to grow. There are some who even travel with her. “We are not poor for you, Sarah,” shouted one group of fans during the concert at the packed Heritage Forum last Saturday.
“Thank you,” was all Sarah could muster. She was visibly touched and surprised by the huge crowd that gave her two standing ovations in a show that is clearly her best ever. “This is going to be a different show,” promised Tito Al. And he was right. The show was amazing! Sarah has now become a seasoned performer. She danced, sang, bantered with the audience and was completely, visibly in control.
The repertoire and Sarah’s wonderfully selected guests (Charlie Green, Billy Crawford and Mark Bautista) provided the right mix of music, entertainment and surprises. Even the two attractive dancers from the G Force were a pleasant surprise.
Charlie did an inspired rendition of the OPM classic Dahil Sa ‘Yo and some people were brought to tears. Billy pumped up the show’s energy and he sure has an electrifying presence on stage. His sexy dance moves on stage made the women, and some men, too, swoon. No kidding.
Sarah’s erstwhile loveteam-mate but consistent concert guest Mark provided the night’s other most applauded number. His set of old standards was a crowd-pleaser and earned him an ovation as well. What a voice!
But the night was Sarah’s crowning party. When Billy re-introduced Sarah after his set, he renamed the show from Sarah, the Next One to Sarah, the Only One. Everyone agreed. Sarah is indeed the biggest star in the Philippines right now.
In February, she swept the MYX awards, winning six trophies. Last week, the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Awards handed her an unprecedented recognition. She is 2008’s Box-Office Queen, Female Concert Performer of the Year, and Female Recording Artist of the year.
She could be the youngest Box-Office Queen ever but that is not her most remarkable feat — she did it with just her first movie.
And it doesn’t stop there. This week, her second movie, You Changed My Life, the sequel to A Very Special Love, has shot to the top of the list of all-time box-office hits in the Philippines with ticket sales surpassing the P200-M mark.
When this writer asked Sarah how she feels about this recent string of successes, she said she is “very, very happy.” She added that she is grateful to everyone who has supported and is supporting her. “I owe it to Boss Vic, Star Cinema and Viva.”
She said the risk that Star Cinema and Viva took in casting her and John Lloyd Cruz together is something that she could not have predicted to result in such a huge success. “It surprised me how people positively embraced our tandem.” She couldn’t believe that what started as an experimental team-up on ABS-CBN’s top-rating Maalaala Mo Kaya would make her a movie star. “I feel so blessed. The Lord has given me such overflowing blessings.” A third sequel is said to be in the works.
Her success, of course, came with a few sacrifices.
“There are sleepless nights. There are days we work until the wee hours of the morning.” She looked back to the time she won first place in the Star for a Night contest and realized that she has not stopped working since then. She calls it “strike while the iron is hot.” She has given up some precious time with her family who has to adjust to her schedule.
While other young stars party, she works. Her rare free time is spent at home, watching Titanic on DVD. “I want to fall in love,” she jokingly mused — perhaps suggesting something?
Sarah has been lately linked to Rayver Cruz, but she denied any romantic involvement with him. “Love can wait,” was all she said, to the clear delight of Tito Al who is her biggest fan.
In six years, Sarah has achieved more success than most other stars have in double or triple the time. She seems en route to becoming the next Superstar and Megastar combined.
But hard work alone doesn’t make one a success. There should be a reason why Sarah stands brightest among her contemporaries. There should be one thing that sets her apart from the rest of the pack. What could it be?
She is not strikingly beautiful. People see an ordinary-ness in her but they know that she is above being ordinary. There are singers better than her, but her distinctly melodious voice stands out. She is not the best actress, but she has a natural screen presence akin to that of a young Maricel Soriano. Sarah is a star. She can’t help it and she can’t avoid it.

Gerald Anderson to do a movie with Sarah Geronimo
Gerald Anderson is being considered as the next leading man for Sarah Geronimo, which could mean that Gerald has to be pulled away from Kim to give way to a Gerald-Sarah team-up, which is enough reason to make Kimeralds very unhappy and possible angry.
As reported by ABS-CBN News, with Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz's on screen team-up taking the back-seat after two highly successful films, rumor has it that the Pop Star Princess’s next leading man will be Gerald Anderson. But much like the initial negative reactions that surfaced when the Sarah-Lloydie love-team was announced, there are worries that pairing Gerald with Sarah might not be a good idea because Gerald’s current team-up with Kim Chiu is also a team up to beat. Sarah seemed to agree with this idea in an interview with The Buzz yesterday (March 15). “Mahirap ‘yan kasi alam naman natin na ka love-team ni Gerald si Kim,” she voiced out. “Bahala na kung ano ang will ni Lord at ng management kung ano ‘yung ma-settle nila. Hindi ko naman puwedeng sabihing oo naman na agree na agree (dahil) maraming kailangang intindihin pa muna.”
Gerald on the other hand, said that he has yet to hear about the offer. “Siguro chismis-chismis lang ‘yan kasi wala pa namang offer from Star Cinema mismo directly to me. Wala,” he explained.
The actor revealed that he and Kim are slated to film a movie this July, leading him to believe that a team-up with Sarah is not yet possible. But if ever this were true, this will only be temporary and that he will eventually be reunited with Kim. “Sa amin naman, hindi mawawala ang Kimerald dahil kahit maghiwalay muna kami o maghiwalay kami, sa future magbabalik pa rin kami sa isa’t-isa,” justified the Fil-Am actor. Kim also said that she is okay with the idea but that they have not yet received any announcement about this.
In the POV (Points, Opinion, Violent Reactions) of The Buzz, Kris Aquino revealed that Deo Endrinal, the production unit head of Tayong Dalawa, which stars Kim and Gerald, had a talk with Vic del Rosario, head of Viva Films which in turn manages Sarah’s career. “Kasi feeling naman daw niya, Sarah should be teamed (up) with somebody close to her age bracket. Si Gerald talaga among those age bracket, siya talaga ang nangingibabaw ngayon. So pinag-iisipan ‘yan,” shared Kris. Boy Abunda on the other hand said that he has a split opinion about the matter as far as the fans are concerned. Kim and Gerald have a very huge following but when Sarah was teamed up with John Lloyd in A Very Special Love he also was highly identified with Bea Alonzo, so one can not really tell. “It’s good to be paired with other partners but you have to be careful because you play with the public eh. Take into consideration how fans will take it. You have to manage kung ano ang pananaw ng tagahanga,” Boy commented.

Sarah Geronimo, Rayver Cruz, getting as close as MU
Everybody is extra keeping watch of Sarah and Rayver to hopefully get a scoop of what's really going on between them. When Sarah mentioned in an interview before that Rayver was her crush - which super flattered naman si Rayver - rumors and speculations have never stopped. But Sarah insisted up to this day, that all they have for each other is nothing but admiration and friendship. She consistently said that she is not ready for any relationships and that her parents have also restricted her to any heart related commitment. Sarah has many admirers and there are many reasons for these guys to wish they are the man closes to her heart. Sarah is a very sweet, wholesome, funny, pretty, talented, kind and a respectable person. She also values her family which can mean that she is a potential good wife and excellent mother who will also value her own future family. Sarah is not the type of person who will do anything behind her parents back. So if Sarah says she's not ready for a love relationship yet, then she's not ready. This includes MU. But, in fairness, bagay talaga sila.Wednesday, March 11, 2009
Sarah Geronimo off to US concert tours
Sarah will travel 13 cities for her US concert tours. She and her whole family will be off for 48 days plus a few more days extension for a vacation. Sarah is 2008 queen of the box office and one of the most adored and well-loved screen personalities. Good luck to your concerst, Sarah!
After "You Changed My Life", announcing what's next?
Too much pressure daw ang naramdaman ni Sarah ng ina-nounce na mag-kakaroon ng pangatlong movie ang movie nila ni John Lloyd pero marami ang na-excite sa balita lalong lalo ng ang mga fans na nakaka-relate kina Laida at Miggy.The victory party of You Changed My Life last Monday night, March 9, turned out to be a very emotional one as Director Cathy Garcia-Molina thanked everyone who made the movie possible, especially those who worked behind the scenes. “Maraming beses na ako umaakyat ng entablado, sa mga presscons or sa premiere night, pero ito ang isang bagay na hindi ko nagagawa. ABS-CBN has always taught us the value of meritocracy. And I think I am so guilty because hindi ko siya naisasabuhay. I failed to thank the people who have helped me finish a film every time… [Sa cast], you have made my tears go away literally. You all made me laugh. Natatanggal po nila yung sama ng loob ko. I know I can be a monster at times pero kayo yung nakakapitan ko every time,” she said in between tears during her moving speech.
John Lloyd Cruz also commended the crew for giving their all to the project despite the long working hours. Then he announced that he would share 10 percent of his fee to “the boys” who really went without sleep and baths for days just to deliver a quality movie on time for its playdate. “Kasi alam ni’yo, yung success ng pelikula, nakikita ni’yo lang kasi yung malalaking pangalan na nasa poster. Pero malaking part ng success ng pelikula yung hirap at pagod ng crew. And ako naiintindihan ko na we all live in a third world country. I don’t think they’re getting much of what they deserve. Ako I just want to share, para rin mas masarap ang tulog ko sa gabi,” he later explained to the network’s reporters who attended the occasion.
But the main highlight of the event was when Star Cinema Managing Director Malou Santos announced that there would be a sequel to You Changed My Life next year. “[You Changed My Life] made history because it’s the first sequel na ginawa sa Philippine movie history na isang love story na nagkaroon ng sequel at mas malakas pa sa original. So alam namin na itong franchise na ito ay marami pa’ng tatakbuhin. Maraming naka-relate kay Laida at kay Miggy kasi feeling ng lahat ng tao katabi lang nila sila. So alam namin na ang characters ng movie na ito kahit saan magpunta dala-dala nating lahat. So sundan ninyo ang sunod na kabanata sa buhay ni Laida at ni Miggy sa part three,” she declared much to everyone’s excitement, including ABS-CBN President Charo Santos-Concio who was reportedly the one who wanted another sequel the most.
Sarah Geronimo, on the other hand, was a bit apprehensive when she heard the news because people’s expectations of her would be much greater, given the accomplishments that her two films have made in less than a year. “Wow na lang po ang masasabi ko. Risky yun. Sobrang risky po yun. Pero bahala na si Lord. Katulad nung pinasa-Diyos na lang namin yung dalawang pelikula. Bahala na po. Siyempre happy and excited din ako pero nandun na kaagad yung kaba,” she admitted.
As for John Lloyd, he feels sad that it would take some time before the said reunion movie would push through. “Medyo nalulungkot ako kasi may part three nga pero ang dami pang mangyayari [at] ang dami pang pagdadaanan. Ako manggagaling po sa—I think—dalawang pelikula bago namin magawa yun. Nalulungkot ako kasi ang tagal ko pa silang makakasama eh, si Sarah, yung ibang cast, at yung crew... Mangyayari nga pero parang ang tagal pa,” he maintained.
The two lead stars of the film also stressed how much they appreciate their fans’ all-out support ever since they did A Very Special Love last 2008. “Kung pwede ko lang kayo lahat i-powerhug! Ginulat ni’yo kami ng husto sa suporta na ibinibigay ni’yo sa You Changed My Life [at] sa tandem namin ni John Lloyd. At if ever magkaroon kami ng movie part three or ng part four, sana po nandiyan pa rin kayo. [Sana magpatuloy] yung interest ni’yo na ma-witness ulit kung ano na yung development sa love story ni Laida Magtalas and ni Miggy Montenegro,” she beamed.
You Changed My Life is now on its third week showing in theatres nationwide. Watch out for more updates about the Box Office team-up of Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz here on ABS-CBN.com.

Sarah Geronimo, John Lloyd crowned King and Queen of the Box Office 2008!
Sarah and John Lloyd is now officially the box-office King and Queen for 2008! Congratulations! But as expected, the very humble Sarah honored Ai Ai as the true box-office queen.
Yesterday, it was reported that Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz will be crowned Box-office King and Queen by the Guillermo Mendoza Awards for their movie A Very Special Love. Since the film is being pitted against Ai-Ai de las Alas’s Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat for the box office title, some are worried that tension would arise between the two.
When ABS-CBN.com caught up with Sarah though, she insisted that the country’s Queen of Comedy is more deserving of that title than herself. “Siyempre medyo na-bother po ako nung nalaman ko na may ganyang issue kasi katrabaho ko si Ms A. (referring to Ai-Ai). Kung sa akin nga lang po mas karapat-dapat talaga si Ms. A na tawaging Box Office Queen,” she said after the presscon of her movie You Changed My Life opposite John Lloyd Cruz. “Siyempre napakatagal na niya sa industriya at alam naman natin ang success ng Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat. Hindi naman sa ino-overlook ko yung success namin [sa A Very Special Love]. Kumbaga respeto na lang kay Ms. A,” she added.
As it happens, there are reports that Ai-Ai mentioned in previous interviews that she would be hurt if she fails to get the Box Office Queen award. “May nagsabi sa akin na parang [may issue nga daw involving the two of us]. Pero yung part na ‘yan hindi ko narinig. Basta parang ano lang, alam ni Ms. A na siya talaga yung Box Office Queen,” stated Sarah, who clearly didn’t want to talk about such rumors anymore. “Hindi ko ide-deny na nagkakaroon [ako] ng lungkot na may gano’ng issue. Pero I guess gano’n talaga. Kumbaga si Ms. Ai-Ai may ipinaglalaban siya so basta yun nirerespeto ko,” she stressed.
Apart from those intrigues, there is also pressure for Sarah to do better in You Changed My Life after the phenomenal success of her first film. But the young singer-actress refused to be daunted by it all. “Bawat eksena nandun yung tension eh, yung pressured ka. Pero katulad ng ginawa ko nung launching movie ko, hindi ko na lang masyado inintindi yung kaba at yung pressure. Mas nagfo-focus ako dun sa character ko, kung paano ako magiging believable. I guess yun siguro advantage nun. Nag-reflect yung [ganun kong attitude] sa movie. Nag-enjoy at umuwi nang nakangiti ang mga viewers. Ganun din yung gusto k’ng pairalin dito sa sequel. Ayoko na i-entertain yung negative vibes and pressure. As long as nag-eenjoy kami at sinigurado naming maganda yung sequel, okay na ako dun,” she explained.
Her first onscreen kiss (as well as in real life for that matter) with John Lloyd Cruz happens to be a big deal amongst the local media and the moviegoers since they have been all waiting for Sarah to venture into more mature roles. But it seems that everyone has to wait until the opening of the movie to see whether she has taken this huge step or not. “Secret. Panoorin ni’yo na lang. Ayoko munang magkwento tungkol dun. Katulad nga ng sinabi ni John Lloyd, abangan ni’yo kung paano namin yun ginawa. Basta hindi naman po ako masyadong nahirapan kasi inaalagaan naman ako ni John Lloyd, mas kumportable na po ako sa kanya at alam ko ring hindi ako pababayaan ni Direk Cathy (Garcia-Molina). Yung sinasabi niyong nagiging daring na ako [dahil dun sa halik sa braso na ipinakita sa trailer], hindi naman po siguro. Kumportable lang talaga akong katrabaho sila,” she maintained.
What’s really important to her now is that people will appreciate what she and the whole team of You Changed My Life have worked hard on. “Isa talagang blessing para sa akin ang makatrabaho ang katulad ni Direk Cathy and ni John Lloyd. Simula nung makatrabaho ko po sila, nagbago din talaga yung buhay ko, maraming dumating na blessings sa akin at mas naging inspired akong magtrabaho. Iba rin talaga yung experience ko while doing A Very Special Love. So kung hindi man po ma-surpass, sana mapantayan man lang ng You Changed My Life yung nauna. Sana mas marami pa rin kaming mapasayang mga tao, nandun pa rin yung kilig, at maramdaman pa rin nila yung love story ni Miggy Montenegroat Laida Magtalas,” she exclaimed. [Rachelle Siazon/ABS-CBN]

Sarah Geronimo and Rayver Cruz getting very close
The young singer/actress is now more open about her romantic life and about airing her opinions. She explained that her mother seems to understand the changes she is experiencing. “Tingin ko rin naiintindihan naman ng mom ko ‘yung pinagdadaanan ko ngayon sa edad ko. I’m growing up. At si mommy ‘di naman po siya nagkukulang ng pagpapaalala sa akin na pag-aaral muna,” said the 20-year-old singer.
She explained that her Mommy Divine has told her that there is nothing wrong with talking to her crush, as long as they know their limitations. “Walang masama na maging magkaibigan po kami at hindi ibig sabihin na kung magiging close kami, magiging future boyfriend ko na siya. Pero si Lord na lang ang nakakaalam nun.”
Sarah said she’s in no hurry to look for her Mr. Right, preferring to patiently wait for the right guy to come along. “Ayokong mang-galing sa iba’t-ibang relasyon. Gusto ko kapag ready na ko ‘yun na talaga. Ayoko po ng iba-iba.” [Bernie Franco]

Sarah Geronimo's new year's resolution
Contrary to Kris' comment at The Buzz about Marian being the biggest or hottest star, well, Sarah is not only the hottest but also the most well liked and well loved star today. But just like everybody else, Sarah also has a new years resolution for 2009? “Gusto ko magpapayat. Kasi ang lakas lakas ko tumaba tapos ang bilis ko rin pumayat. Like nung concert ko sobrang taba ko, pero sindaya ko yun kasi ang haba nung concert.”
Sarah thinks she looked chubby at her recent concert. I think not. She looked alright to me. Sarah is one singer-actress that I admire so much: her simplicity, humility, and pleasant ways are truly admirable, and she earned my respect just like her millions of fans and admirers.

Sarah Geronimo in the year 2009
Year 2009 is going to be another very busy year for Sarah Geronimo. Rumor mill has it that ABS-CBN is planning to launch “Meteor Garden” as a teleserye and they are considering Sarah Geronimo to play the role of Shan Chai. If this is true, you can be assured it’s going to be another ABS-CBN big hit. She also started shooting the sequel of “A Very Special Love” with John Lloyd for Star Cinema which will be shown as a Valentines treat to their fans on February 25.
Early 2009, she will also bring her jam-packed “The Next One” concert from the Araneta Coliseum to all 14 cities in the US and Canada, together with Mark Bautista, Billy Crawford and Charlie Green.
There’s a lot more lined up for her to do in year 2009, not to mention in between concerts and record albums. Sarah is indeed the hottest star today, in the Philippines and abroad.
But what is Sarah’s wish for herself this Christmas? “Ako basta wish ko lang na strong yung bond ng pamilya ko, yun lang at siguro success sa career. Ako kasi hindi naman ako after sa mga material things. Basta masaya na ako sa simpleng greeting lang at yakap. Yun lang ang gusto ko.”
Mapalad ang mapupusuan ni Sarah. Tunay na mabait, walang masamang tinapay sa katawan, mapag-mahal na anak at very pleasant ang attitude sa lahat ng tao. She has a very positive outlook in life and in the way she response to every issue and situation that comes her way.
We’ll look forward to seeing more of Sarah in 2009.

Is Sarah Geronimo making Regine Velasquez insecure?
Ito ang kumakalat na balita - that Sarah's success is making Regine feeling insecured. The talk started after the overwhelming success of Sarah's concert at the jam-packed Araneta Coliseum. My two cents:
I cannot compare Regine and Sarah because I agree that Sarah is Sarah and Regine is Regine. But what should make Regine worry is the fact and reality that when people begin to notice Sarah, the attention meant for Regine will be diverted to Sarah and the clamor for her will become less and less. It’s not that Sarah sings or performs better than Regine, it’s just that Sarah has become a breath of fresh air in the industry, and her presence is becoming stronger and stronger each time. This will only prove what showbiz life is all about, meaning: don’t be too confident because life is short in showbiz and there will always be someone new that is better than you. O di vah?
Here is the complete interview by MJ Felipe.
Isang blooming at very beautiful na Regine Velasquez ang humarap during the press launch ng kanyang latest album entitled Low Key under Universal Records nitong Biyernes, November 14.Continue Reading...
Unang nilinaw ni Regine na ang kanyang paglipat sa Universal Records mula sa kanyang Viva family ay may basbas ni Boss Vic. “I haven’t been with them for quite a while now. Kaya nga I was able to do an album with Star Records for Paano Kita Iibigin. Pero they are still my friends. Boss Vic is like my tatay, so okay naman sila. Actually freelance naman ako, may contract lang ako with Universal for this album. So, I can still do an albm with Viva kung gagawa kami ng pelikula or kung ano man,” dagdag pa ng songbird. Pinabulaanan din ni Regine na hindi siya inimpluwensiyahan ni Ogie Alcasid na naka-pirma din ngayon sa Universal Records.
Pinaliwanag ni Regine na kaya Low Key ang titulo ng kanyang CD ay sa dahilang mga “laid-back” at “mellow” ang mga kantang kasama dito. Mga revival at personal choices ang mga tracks na may kasama pang minus one. Natawa din si Regine sa intrigang isa sa mga kanta sa album ay ang kanyang wedding song. Marami pa raw dapat ayusin si Ogie para pag-usapan ang pagpapakasal.
“We still have to settle a lot of things, and as soon as we settle that, of course we already know what that is, so ayaw ko na munang isipin ngayon Hindi natin alam kung ano ang magiging resulta eh. Ayusin muna natin yun and then after that, we can plan,” sabi ni Regine.
Muli na namang umaalingawngaw ang intrigahan sa pagitan ni Regine Velasquez at ang sinasabing sumusunod sa kanyang yapak na si Sarah Geronimo, dahil sa very successful concert nito sa Araneta Coliseum kamakailan. “I’m very very proud of her. As you all know, I really really love that kid. She’s like my child. And she loves me to pieces. Nanay niya ako. I really am so proud of her. Yung sinasabi nilang she’s gonna be the next Regine Velasquez, for me nga that’s an honor. Kasi nga ako yung parang benchmark. Kasi nga noong araw, parang ako lang yung sinasabihan na ‘you’re gonna be the next ganito, ganyan’, but even before hindi ako naniniwala na may pinapalitan ka. I don’t mind (being compared). Kasi ganoon naman yun, even I were compared to ZsaZsa, to Kuh, to everybody. To my mentors also. Pero like I said, Kuh Ledesma will always be Kuh Ledesma. Sharon Cuneta will be Sharon Cuneta. So Sarah, will be Sarah” paliwanag ni Regine.
Hindi nga raw dapat The Next One ang naging title ng concert ni Sarah, kung hindi The One na daw dapat.

Sarah Geronimo's super successful concert - she did it again!
Lalong gumaganda si Sarah lalo na sa gabi ng kayang concert. Yes, there is no stopping, for Sarah’s success continues to soar unstoppable. Her concert was completely packed with countless of fans and celebrities combined. The girl is very beautiful and truly amazing, and I’m a big fan. Her voice is as beautiful as Celine Dion and was also very sexy that night. There is no denying the fact that Sarah’s catapult to stardom is slowly but steady and consistent, and she is one of the very few stars who are truly wholesome, a role model, humble, and never a trouble maker and it's because it's just not her character. O di vah?Sarah Geronimo wowed her thousands of fans, including showbiz stars, who filled the Araneta Coliseum Saturday night to watch the highly successful major solo concert of the young singer dubbed “The Next One.”Continue Reading...
Her co-Kapamilya stars such as Billy Crawford, Maja Salvador, Shaina Magdayao, Rayver Cruz and John Lloyd Cruz, her leading man in the box-office hit “A Very Special Love,” joined her onstage to perform at the packed Big Dome.
“Ako po ang pinaka-worry ko lang ang concern ko ‘yong mapasaya ko ang mga tao. Hindi importante kung gaano karami [ang dumating], performance lang po talaga. ‘Yong mapasaya ko sila,” Geronimo said.
“Maraming, maraming salamat po. Sana po ay napasaya ko kayong muli at sana po maulit muli. Thank you very much,” she added.
ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. president Charo Santos-Concio and Star Cinema’s managing director Malou Santos trooped to the Big Dome to watch the concert.
Geronimo’s friends from show business including Mark Bautista, Jericho Rosales, Anne Curtis, Luis “Lucky” Manzano, KC Concepcion, Eric Santos, Gabriel Valenciano and Rachelle Ann Go were also among the crowd.
“Isa ‘yon sa mga dahilan kung bakit pressured na pressured ako tonight kasi alam kong darating sila pero hindi ako pinabayaan ni Lord. Thank you very much for your support,” Geronimo said when interviewed by reporters after the concert.
When asked if she brought a special someone to the concert, the singer said: “Wala pa. Ok lang yan, it can wait.” [ABS-CBN/The Buzz]
