Fresh
from a hugely-successful concert tour of Canada and the US, Sarah
Geronimo stayed behind in LA to do the vocals for a duet with
Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough in LA. The song, titled I’ll Be There and
produced by Christian de Walden, will be included in Sarah’s latest CD
which will be released in July. De Walden is the same guy who acted as
go-between for Claire dela Fuente and Richard Carpenter for Claire to
record the song Something in Your Eyes.
Howie D. reached
worldwide fame as a member of the BSB along with AJ McLean, Brian
Littrell, Kevin Richardson and Nick Carter. He is best known for his
falsetto singing which is easily recognizable in hits like I Want It
That Way, Drowning, The Perfect Fan and Show Me the Meaning of Being
Lonely.
He is the lead singer
in the songs Spanish Eyes, What Makes You Different Makes You Beautiful
and How Did I Fall in Love with You. He is set to visit the Philippines
in July to shoot a video with Sarah and promote the duet.

More awards for Sarah
Sarah Geronimo can already rest on her laurels, after all, at her age
she has been collecting awards since the day she won the amateur
singing contest that jumpstarted her career in show business.
Recently, she added several trophies to her collection of trophies and plaques.
The
Viva singing star topped this year’s MYX Music Awards, bagging the
Favorite Song Award for the Medwin Marfil’s “Ikaw,” from her
all-original Filipino album, TakingFlight.
Sarah was also named Favorite Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Artist of the Year and MYX Celebrity VJ of the Year.
On
top of that, Sarah was chosen Best Female Performer in the
recently-concluded Guillermo Mendoza Awards. (Martin Nievera was Best
Male Performer.)
Unfortunately,
Sarah was not around to personally receive her harvest of awards. She
is now in Canada on a concert tour with Rachelle Ann Go, Mark Bautista
and Christian Bautista.
She had just performed in Winnipeg where fans packed the music hall.
Thanks
to new technology however, the enterprising guys in MYX USA were able
to videotape Sarah’s delivering her “thank you” speech.
There
is no question that Sarah deserves the awards. She is one of a few
artists who can draw a big crowd and fill up the Araneta Coliseum. Her
last concert, Sarah Geronimo in Motion rocked the Big Dome and has been
recorded for posterity on DVD.
Her
fourth album, Taking Flight, also topped the music charts. Almost
500,000 have viewed her music video, “How Could You Say You Love Me,”
on YouTube.
Reports
have it that Sarah will stay behind in Los Angeles after the Champions
tour to record a duet with a cute member of one of the biggest boy
bands in pop music history. The song will be included in her new album
for release in July, her birth month.
