PAGILAS, Philippines – Filipino pop princess Sarah Geronimo has recently expressed her desire to collaborate with Charice so to shall enable her to get in to Hollywood. The management of the multimedia star has been working really hard to make it happen.
After several successful concerts in Manila, abroad as well as her box office hit local movies, there is nothing wrong with Sarah Geronimo wanting to widen her horizon and dream on getting in to Hollywood.
Her 2009 Record Breaker was totally an air freshener to the suffocating pathetic local mainstream showbiz industry in the Philippines.
It is not nice to read some netizens bashing the 24-year-old Filipino artist since each one of us has this desire to want more and be in a place where learning new experiences, meeting people of different culture and having another challenge in life are served.
Metaphorically, Sarah Geronimo may be using Charice as her key to make a crossover to English speaking countries but it’s for the betterment of adding more Filipino artists known worldwide.
Of course, Sarah Geronimo has already established her international market in her own right but only to those Filipinos abroad and perhaps, to some few southeast Asian people.
Simply, it’s business and it’s okay if she wants to penetrate another market.
All those articles on the internet reporting that David Foster loves Sarah Geronimo and thought the collaboration would be great, it could be exaggerated so to speak, but that’s not the point. The point is don’t we want another Filipino singer to make it to Hollywood? Give her a break.
Should Americans find Sarah Geronimo appealing, then there she goes in her journey to Hollywood. The American people are still the ones who will decide if they are buying a Sarah Geronimo artist or not. So in other words, just allow her to have expansion.
I’m sure Lucy Liu was so proud when Zhang Zi Yi, Gong Li, Shu Qi, Maggie Q and other Chinese actresses made it to Hollywood.
Let’s support our artists and this will strengthen us in presenting ourselves globally.
The time is now.
